Development Of Insect Life.

4 great deal Of discussion has lately ta-
ken place in the scientific world in refer
encc to certain experiments of Mr.. Gross.
an amateur philosopher Of Somerset
shire England,who was said to have crea.
ted insects called the Acarui Crosse. but
only alleges that he has been enabled to
develop insects under the most singular
circumstances. Our Consul at Liver
pool, Mr.. T. f. Ogden. has recently Wis
tied the house of the philosopher, and in
letter to the National Intclligcnccr, he
gives this account of what he saw
Il own to utter incredulity until | had
the opportunity of thorough cxamina-
ination of the process and full cxpla-
nation of the means. No room was left
for doubt. No dolusion, no sclfdecep-
ton, no fayorite hypothesis to be carried
out, had any influence in the result On
first witnessing the result, Mr.. Cross
would not believe his own senses. He
locked up his labratory and took a long
walk in the open air TO assure himself
that he was not laboring under some de-
lusion. On his return he bcheld the ac-
tual living insect in various stages Of its

Perils ofLetter Writing.

If law is law, (says the Boston Coar-
ler) and judges are the judges Of law,
it appears that young ladies and young
gentlemen, and single ladies and gentle
men, whether young or not young-often
run great risks without being aware Of
it, Hitherto, We had supposed with the
rest Of the world, that letters might pass
and repass between male and female
friends, each being merely the Others
" humble servant" or very truly and
no harm done or expected, or designed
or dreamed Of. But let those who write
letters in future be upon their guard lest
action for breach Of marriage come upon
them like a thief in the night \ learn
ed Judge has been pleased to take it for
granted that all letters are love letters
that pass between unmarried gentle
men and unmarried ladies' and he lays
down the law accordingly, The follow
ing exposition of the law Of letter writing
and love making, has just been delivered
from the bench of the Supreme Court Of
New Hampshire;
Where a written correspondence is
kept up between an unmarried gentle
man and an unmarried young lady, OF
suitable age, who is not his relative, the
most common and natural inference is
that it is upon matrimonial subjects
since achere an engagement actUa/Iy &C
lSfS, q correspondence almost iRrajiJh
f0iloicS. But young marriageble ladies
at least prudent ones, do not allow them
selves to be engaged in correspondence
with unmarried men unless they suppose
a marriage contract exists between them
And unmarried men do not desire tina
such correspondence should be carried oi
where an engagement does not exist, un
less it be from some improper motives
or with the hope of an ultimate engage
ment. That an en-
gagement exists, or an offer has beel
made and accepted where a correspond
enee takes place between such parties,a a
are described in this case, is, we think
in accordance with general experience
which is one of the usual tests of huma
! evidence and although when taken Q
lone and disconnected from other facts
it may not be so strong as some evidenc
that might be suggested yet we hold
competent to be submitted to jury fro,

A Forgotten Chapter in General Pierce'f
History.

The Nashville (Tenn.) RepnJlicdn
Banner has been examining General
PIERoE's minor votes in the House of
Representatives, and the following
statement is the result Of the investi-
CATION;
In the House of Representatives,
ON the 9th December, 1888, FRANK.
LIN PIERCE roted ogainst a resolution
for the benefit Of the old fighters in
the Indian wars.
On the 11th of the following Feb
ruary, Mr.. PIERCE voted against a
bill extending the operation of an act
giving pccuniary relief to " surviving
officers, non-commissioned officers, mu-
sicians, soldiers, and Indian spies of
the old Continental line or State
troops, volunteers or militia" who
had served two years during the war
of the revolution, and had not been
provided for by the act of 1928.
In 1886 MIR. PIERCE repeated his
vote dgdinSt IN act " Tor the relief OF
certain officers and soldiers Of the
revolution"
In the Senate, in 1911, Mr.. PIERCE
opposed a bill giving five years half
pay to wido,cs or orphans of officers,
non-commissioned officers, soldiers,
Sc, who had died in the service of
the United States after the Goth of
April, 1918.
These votes of Mr., PIERCE illus
trate the magnanmity Of his political
career. The show his friendship for
the few remaining patriots who had
purchased our liberties with their
blood, and the strength Of his regard
for women and children whose protcc-
tors had sacrificed their lives in the
service of their country. Mr. P.'s
principles Of governmental economy
recognised no claim on their part to
consideration at the hands of Congress.
The idea Of relieving soldiers disabled
in war, and Of succoring soldiers wild
ows and orphans, had no place in the
creed Of the present Democratic can
didate for the Prcsidency.-The Siy-

Any traveller who may have been in
Italy in the spring of 1872 must have
heard of the celebrated major of the Roy

Icon as to excite the wonder of all those
who had seen the emperor. At that

busts and portraits of the emperor which
we had seen In the midst of our cen
lectures on the subject. an old French

little cooked hat. Soon after the en-
press entered her box accompanied by
brilliant suite but presently the audi

Amid the poplar leaves delay
That turn to silver as they pass.

watch the dying sycamore.
From fancy's trance awakened soon,

Break on the golden hush Of noon,
TO summon back the thought of time.
But when the level sunbcams fling
Their rosy flush along the deep,
And 10 the restless spirit bring
The vigil that it loves to keep,
Then musing by the shore alone,
While near the shelving billows rise,
list their dreary monotone,
As, with each lapsing wave, it dies.
Or from yon green and craggy height
Gaze forth upon the boundles sea,
Tha; spreads beyond my eager sight
The emblem of infnity.

than has been obtained by any former
Wing candidate \ strong feeling in
his favor runs through this portion of
our adopted citizens in every part of the

have been both in the cities and on the

feeling will become yet stronger before
