THE HATIDHAL VYIfOu
Story of Two mm Wmhlbmrnm la a
Hi wlali (OMa.) Store.
The Legislature in ISIS eaaetod a law
nohtag the penalty lor the offeaoe of
killing an America* oagie a fino oi
faem 9K to MO and the coot of proso-
eotfon. or an imprisonment of not more
fifeqpi thirty days. Having adopted the
statute H woe at ones placed ia the
arohlree of inert laws in the a timber of
whloh ConnooUont is distinguished
abo to other States, and the American
eogU wa# shot with reinvigoratod im-
pnauy. With characteristic spirit, eoaa-
fcgr hnnters who prior to the passage of
Ibo law had not eared mneh about
shooting American eagles, necieofcsd no
opportunity to bring down the bird of
freedom.
For reasons not understood by loeal
ornithologists the Thames river valley
has always been a favored haunt of the
national bird. Ia the past fifteen years
eyery eagle that has been K lied in the
Stafc^ with the exoeptioo of one or two
shot in Fairfield Connty, has been killed
In this valley. Almost daily an eagle
may be seen above this river, sometime
a mere speck against the blue dome,
often hovering over a valley farm stead
to find out whether the farmer has anr
thing good to eat in his poultry y aril,
or winging his way treacherously under
cover of the forests that skirt the rirer
banks, looking for a oh anee to rob aa
industrious fishhawk of his fresh fish.
From ths valley the eagles sometimes
journey over to Stonington, and er*n
to Bbode Island in search of meat, ilrh
and olams on the Ion#, louel}' be aches.
It was the iatcn-t of the eagla giatuve
to preserve the Thames rirer valley a
a breeding plaoe, the legislators being
moved by a laudable (ear that if
the destruction of the bird went
o<i there would not be eagles
enough left in the State after a
few years for Fourth of July salobra-
tions and other patriotic purposes; but
tt is apparent that the American ea?lc
can look out for himself withou-t th*
help of Hartford and in spite of lawless
hunters. Within a week or two four
handsome birds have been shot in thi«
part of the State, throe in the valley,
and one near Westerly, by a small boy j
with a rusty musket. The hatnisomej* j
bir<1. which is a giant, has b<ten sat up, j
and is now on public exhibition ia a
store window in this city, in unde-
signed evidence of the eiHeacv of Con-
necticut statutes. It is not so bald as
the bald eagle of Westchester, hut its
feathers are very thin on the top of its
head, and there is a beautiíul cape of
white feathers wider its wings, with a
band of white about the neók.
In the window it is in the distin-
guished oomoany of a golden eagle—a
care bird hi Ifcew England—^which was

good French scholars. Edmunds reads
French easily. Hoar has many French
books in his library. Allen G. Thur-

finance, and he reads the French,

he was a boy. A French professor,
who had a very pretty daughter, asked
Thurman's mother to take eharge of

tion that the professor would give
young Allen Frtfnch lessons. Prattling
with the maiden and taking lessons of
the professor he got a foundation in the
language which is not surpassed by
that of any of our public men. The
old professor rmiffed snd the boy

him through life, and which, added to
his big nooe and the gorgeous hand-
