" The Ministerial journals have forgotten to designate the species

of the three birds which Citizen Royalty has just presented to the Cabinet of Natural Ills tory. We will lay any wager that they are not birds that could he served up at table, or turned to profit in the poultry-market."—Le Charirari.

Bring nothing that can wag its jaws."
