Nj mOt crOsccn:ing for Libel.

The notorious David Wilmot, who co-opera ted and co-operateS with the Know NOthings as the best way to break down the democratic party of Pennsylvania, after that party had re- pudlated him, and who was one of the conspila- tors that assisted in completing the fusion be- tween the wings abolitonSts and know noth- ings, against the democracy of that State at the last election, has brought suit against Mr. Chase the editor of the Montrosc Democrat, for libe, laying his damages at S100OO. There have been so many extraordinary demonstrations of Know Nothing influence in the jury box, that not to speak of the last outrase-we alludc to that just perpetrated in the city of New Orleans by which an officer is declared to be elected who is known to have been largely defeated at the ballot box-wc should not be surprised if Wilmot succeeded in his crusade upon our de- mocratic contemporary.
 Wilmot Is President Judge of his judicial district, but has not deemed it inconssten, Wir lis duties to mingle in the exciting con,ests of party. When the distinguished Judge Kane made his decision in he Passmorc Williamson case, and when the majority of the Supreme Court pronounced thcir judgment on the same case, Wilmot railed against them by the hour on the musings, employing language, and sug gesting punshmcnts, quite in tho spirit ot Jue New | orh Tribune. The editor of the Mont. rose Democrat commented freely upon tdis prostitution of the judicial office and is now called upon to answer for libel for daring to speak of one who has in turn slandcred every honest public man in the Unon.- Washington fiOR.

NATURE AND AR". - Upon eEaminiug tho edge of a very keen razor wth microscope, it will appear broad the back of thiclc knife; rough, uneven, full of notches aud fur. rows. An exceedingly small needle resembles a rough iron bar. But the stng of a bee, seen through the same instrument exhibits every where polish most amazingly beautiful, witt out the least flaw, blemjsh orine1uality, aud i5 ends with point too fine to be dIscerncd. AZ small piece of exceedingly fine awn appears, through microscope, like hurdle O lattice, and the threads themselves seem coarser thol yarn with which ropes are made for anchors. But a silkworm's web appears perfectly smooth and shining and everywhere equal, Tho smallest dot that can bc made with peu appears when viewed by the microscope. an irregular spot, rough, jagsed and uevea.- But the little spcoks on the wings or bodies ot insects are found Ito be accurately circular Sr great is the contrast between the works of God and man.
