THE CHURGHYARD BEETLE.

Fazer'S Magazine has lately contained a
number of very interesting papers called
Episodes Of Insect Life, from the last publish
ed one of which we make an extract, as fol-
lows:
A German named Gleditsh who had laid
some dead moles upon the beds in his garden,
whether as examples of retributive justice for
their defaccment Of his borders and walks or
for other good reasons, or for none at all, does
not appear, observed that the bodies of the lit
tie gentlemen in velvet disappeared mysterious
ly He watched, and found that the agents
were beetles, which having first deposited their
eggs IN the carcases that were to be the pro-
vision for their larvae, buried the bodies, so that
they might be safe from predatory birds and
quadrupeds Into a glass vessel he put four of
these insects, having filled it with earth on the
surface Of which he placed two dead frogs.
His sections went to work, and one frog was IN
tered in less than twelve hours--the other one
on the third day. Then he introduced dead
lnnet. The beetles soon began their labors,
commencing operations by removing the earth
from under the body, so as to form cavity for
its reception Male and female got under the
corpse, and pulled away at the feathers to low
er it into its grave A change then came over
the spirit Of the male for he drove the female
away, and worked by himself for five hours at
n stretch. He lifted the body, changed its posi-
ton, turned and arranged It, coming out Of the
hole, mounting on the dead bird, trampling on
it and then again going below to draw it down
deeper still. Wearied with his incessant eff
forts he came out and laid his head upon the
earth beside the object Of his labors, remain
ing motonless for a full hour, as if for good
rest Then he crept under the earth again.
On the morning of the next day, the bird was
an inch and half below the surface of the
ground, but the trench remained open, the
body looking as if laid out upon bier, sur
rounded by rampant Of mould.
When evening came, it had sunk half an
inch lower. The next day the burial was com
peted, the bird having been completely cover
ed More corpses were now supplied, and in
fifty day twelve bodies were inferred by the four
beetles in this cemetery under glass case.

PROSPECTUS


A Newspaper published daily and weeklg al WASH
mgton City.
At no period since the formation of our Govern
ment has the service of an enlightened impartial,
and independent press at the seat of Government
been more required than now. The near .ap-
proach Of the Presidential election, the influence
which it must have on our future destiny the
combinations formed to govern the public choice
and the issues which the political organizations
will present, should be fully discussed and un-
derstood In this discussion the sectional interest
of the South should be fairly and ably repre-
sented s M s3at.s.l ,.. +.
Designing men have labored successfully to
create the belief that all who do not approve the
measures called Compromise are dsunionists
and think it is greatly to be regretted that the
tone, temper, and substance of the discussions in
the press and in Congress give countenance to
that belief Now, we do not concur with Mr..
Foote or Mr.. Rhett; on the contrary, whilst we
know that there is a large and influential and in
creasing party in the North who desire to abolish
slavery in the South, we believe that the neces-
sary consequence Of the conflict for power be-
tween the organized parties in the North will be
to create public sentiment in that section more
favorable to the South, if the South will but be
true to themselves, and unite in support of those
who deserve their confidence and support.
The g Telegraph will labor to unite and con-
solidate the South, as the only means of produ-
cling harmony and concert between the North and
the South. We have our preferences, but as yet
we have no choice among the Presidential candi-
dates. We will support the nominee of the Bal
timore Convention, if we believe him worthy OF
our support. We are identified with and will
support the State Rights party of the South and
this is the position that we will urge that party to
assume. e r.-e
The Telegraph" is now published daily at five
dollars per annum, and we propose to issue a
weekly at tco dollars per annum, as soon as sub
scribers sufficient to justify its publication are
obtained. We venture to ask the State Rights
Associations, and the Republican party through
out the country, to aid us in obtaining subscribers
as it is our purpose to make the paper worthy of
their support.
Letters should be addressed to

OPIUM-EATING In CHINA.

A writer in the New York Observer gives a
frightful account Of the practice Of opium-eat-
ing in China, and the lamentable progress
which it has attained and is still making.
The demoralizing effects of the practice arc
said to be greater than those which spring
from habits of intoxication and what adds to
the enormity of the evil, is the fact that tho
victims of the seductive vice rarely, if ever,
abandon it,
The commerce in opium has risen within a
few years from small beginnings, to be one Of
the most important branches of trade in the
world The article is produced in British
India, and is we believe, smuggled into China,
in violation Of law, and Of the strenuous efforts
of the Government to prevent the traffic. The
British Government is in a great measure, re-
sponsble for this deplorable evil; and it be-
hooves the press, and even the Governments of
all Christian countries to demonstrate against
its continuance 1t is a disgrace to the Chris
tian name, and one Of the greatest impediments
to the spread of the Gospel among that large
portion of mankind, the people Of China.
In the first ten years Of this century the
annual importation of opium into China was
only from three TO seven thousand chests; but
in 1850 the quantity" reached sixty thousand
chests, at q cost to China of forty millions Of
dollars! The British Government in India is
said to derive>the enormous revenue Of fifteen
millions of dollars from this commerce, which
is only paralleled in wickedness by the slave
trade.-Chrtatdn Salesman.

Meeting In behalf of John s. Thrnsher.
The Savannah ''Morning News" in noticing
meeting of citizens in that city 'to give the ben
eft of their moral influence in behalf of John S.
Thrasher," says:
"This subject is attracting attention through
out the country. 1t is matter in which every
individual citizen has an interest and a duty, and
it 10 proper, wnile the suu1cUr pvfvr oo.l
our State and National Legislatures, that the
people should give full and free expression Of
their feelings and views in relation to a matter
involving not only the personal rights and liberty
OF an American citizen, but the honor of the ma
ton.
We cannot perr~t oursef to believe that Con-
gress will hesitate to vindicate the national honor
or to enforce reparation for whatever wrong has
been done to an American citizen blythe authori-
ties OF foreign State. But we feel that this is
case which calls for an expression of the SEN
timent of the American people at large, and such
an expression will not only authorize and hasten
the action of the government, but will give the
sanction Of the popular will to whatever measures
it may adopt in vindication Of our rights and
honor"

LIEUT.. MAURY.-The following tribute to
Lieut. Maury is contained in letter which we
have received from friend at Washington. We
will refer more particularly to the subject hcreaf-
ter, but will only say now that we fully concur
with the suggestion Of our correspondent, and
that if Lieut. Maury were to have his deserts,
Congress would make him a post captain to
morrow. There is no service in the world which
would not be proud Of such a man as Maury at
its head. Our correspondent says:
" Lieutenant Maury, under whose able superin-
tendence the National Observatory has in a few
years gained a scientific reputation Of world wide
celebrity, has been complmented in a very marked
and unusual manner by the President of the
United States. He is referred to by name in the
Annual Message to Congress, for having projected
and prepared his famous Wind and Current
Charts, by which the passage from the Atlantic
to the Pacific ports has been shortened nearly
forty days! Now, this result of Maury's genius
is Of incalculable Importance Who can count its
practical, everyday business value? 1t is like
producing two blades of grass where only one
grew before. The President would have met the
wishes of the whole country if he had asked Con-
gress to confer the highest honors Of the navy
upon Lieut.. Maury. lie should hare a post-cdp-
tain commission tciHom delGy: and that would be
but small reward for AIaurys positive contribu-
tions to nautical science. - Richmond Republican.
