 harbor, and science in this direction will bo 

 carefully Btudied. 



A Strange Biro. — A correspondent writes 

 ns saying: 



"Robt. E. Best has received a nondes- 

 cript sort of a bird tbat is an exact resem- 

 blance to a pigeon with the exception of, its 

 feet. A sporting man looking at the bird 

 would be willing to stake his "bottom dollar 

 that it was a pigeon, and I hat Best by some 

 ingenious device, had put on it a pair of w*b 

 feel. The web feet, however, is the peculiar- 

 ity of the bird, and it was shot while swim- 

 ming do Cooper's Lake near Little Shaodaken 

 by a young man, the sou of William Cooper 

 who 'lives at or near Ilearsville. Best has 

 Stuffed the bird very nicely, and will hereafter 

 preserve it as a specimen of Ulster County 

 game." 



| We have heard of this bird, or one very 

 like it, several times within the last year, and 

 ■wish that some correspondent would furnish 

 us with a categorical description of it. We 

 venture to predict that it would turn out, 

 after all, something not very uncommon. —

The N. Y. Soho'i^en Corps Festival.— The 

 twentieth annual festival of the New York 

 SollUtzsn Corps opened June 25, at the Seliutzen 

 Park, Union Hill, Hoboken. 



At the grounds the several associations, among 

 which were representatives of the Jersey City 

 Schutzen Corps, the Zeltler Rifle Association, the 

 North American Schutzen Baud, the Brooklyn 

 Schutzen Corps and others marched at onco to 

 the banquet hall, where, after being welcomed by 

 Captain George Aery, all sat down to partake of a 

 substantial repast. Speeches were also made by 

 General Dakin, Mr. William Hayes (of Newark), 

 Captains Bruce, Harding, Busch (.formerly Presi- 

 dent of the Schutzen Association) and other gen- 

 tlemen, and toasts innumerable were drenched in 

 beer. Between four aud live hundred riflemen 

 were present, and a goodly array of ladies took 

 part in the terpsichorean pleasures that fol- 

 lowed. 



The shooting did not commence until after two 

 o'clock, when, the signal gnu being fired, the cap- 

 tain of the New York corps led off with the usual 

 four shots— first, iu honor of the President or 

 the United States ; second, in honor of the Gov- 

 ernor of New York ; third, in honor of the Gov- 

 ernor of New Jersey ; and fourth, for the Now 

 York Schutzen Corps. The ball now opened at 

 all of th« targets, and the shooters began to roll 

 up their respective scores in handsome fashion. 

 The targets oonsisted first of the double-headed 

 eagle, which was placed at a distance of 75 yards. 

 During the afternoon Mr. Albert M. Lemke car- 

 ried off the middle crown and prize of $20 ; Mr. 

 Augustus Schaffel, the left crown and prize of $10, 

 and Mr. John P.. Groman the right crown and 

 $10. On the ring target Mr. Feun'tng, a young 

 member of the Zeltler Club, out of a possible 75 

 in three shots made 6S. We shall give the results 

 of the meeting iu our noxt issue. 



—The bark Adolph, from Bremen, lost her 

 fore and main royal masts by getting them 

 caught in the storm-wires of the East River 

 Bridge, as she was being towed up to her 

 dock iu New York. 



—Artificial flowers called barometers are 

 now seen in mauy Parisian shops. They are 

 colored with a material composed of chloride 

 of cobalt. When exposed to sun and dry air 

 the leaves become deep blue; when the air is 

 moist they turn pinky. 



—Charles Kemblc once set the house in a 

 roar of laughter by transposing two letters. 

 In a very solemn passage, instead of reading : 

 "Shall I lay perjury on. my soul ?" he cried 

 in tones most tragic : " Shall I lay surgery on 

 my poll," and the house would not be satis- 

 fied till he had in a measure done so by tak- 

 ing off his wig.
