TARANTULAs OR GROUND SPIDERs-A cor
respondent writing from Santa Barbara gives
the following account of these venomous in
stitutions
The poisonous black tarantulas, so well
known to naturalists, are extremely common
in California, but only in places in upland or
lowland which are extremity hot and dry
Their principal haunts are the San Joaquin
Valley. between the Calaveras and Tejon.-
A similar species on the coast, is not only
smaller than the interior variety, but the col
ors are much deeper. They both make a
curious habitation under the ground, COM
posed of glutinized web-worked purse,
about three inches long, and which is fur
nished with a tight fitting lid which they
can shut or open at pleasure, and is as cum
ming a piece of insect handicraft as is to be
found in nature. These ugly, loathsome
California spiders are often mentioned by
thoughtless scribes as carrying no more
danger than a common wasp, like the spe-
cies in Italy: but it is well known that sew
eral persons, young and old, have lost their
lives in this State from the bite of such taran
tulas as arc met with in our coast and inte-
riOr country. Their enemy in the Tulare
Valley is an immense shining black wasp
fully an inch long. which will pounce upon
them and after short battle drag the taran-
tula along the ground in the most valiant
style of heroic conquest. These interior tar
antulas are often seen measuring two inches
in the spread, and offering a most uninviting
piece of rusty black, hairy insect brutishness,
answering to the highest wrought OutpOur
ings of Italian poetry.

Button HOLES ON BorH SIDEs.-A gentle
man in Charleston, who entertained good
deal of company at dinner had black as an
attendant, who was a native of Africa, and
never could be taught to hand things invar-
IDLY to the left hand of the guests at table,
At length his master thought of an infalliable
expedient to direct him, and as the coats
were then worn in Charles on single breasted
in the present Quaker fashion, he told him to
hand the plate to the button hole side
Unfortunately. however, for the poor fellow,
on the day after he had received this
ingenious lesson, there was among the
guests at dinner a foreign gentleman, with a
double breasted coat, and he was for while
completely at stand. He looked first al
one side of the gentleman coat, then at the
other. and finally, quite eonfounded at the
outlandish make of the strangers garment, he
east despairing look at his master, ano
exclaimng in a loud voice, Z" Buttons on botf
sides, massa," handed the plate right ovel
the gentleman bead.

Freak or A MINNIE BA1L.-ln the battle
of Drury's Bluff, Va, May, 1864. Oscar
Vibberts. of East Hartford. a member OF
Company A, Seventh Connecticut kegl-
ment was wounded in somewhat curious
manner. A minnie ball struck a tree and
broke in pieces, the fragments, instead OF
scattering, passing into his head, making
half dozen wounds. One piece entered
near the right temple and entirely destroyed
the sight of the right eye; another passed
into the side of the face: another near the
upper lip and another into the left cheek.
All were removed except the latter, the po.
sition of that not being known, and the small
piece that entered near the right temple
Recently Vibberts has experienced consider
able pain near the cheek bone, but supposed
it proceeded from a portion of the bone itself
working out. 1t finally became so irritating
that the left eye was affected. and there was
danger of the sight being lost. He applied
to DR.. George c. Jarvis, who was surgeon
of his regiment, and an examination of the
afflicted part was made, revealing the fact
that. instead of piece of bone being the
trouble, it was portion of the Minnie ball
working its way up into the eye. The knife
was applied and the trouble removed. The
lead was flattened out to about the size of
nickel penny Vibberts will now have one
eve left to see his way through the world.

A GHosr.-The New York Times says
that Jersey City is honored at present with
most mischievous ghost, which has recent
ly made its appearance in tenement house
At first it was content to wander IN unoc
cupied apartments, but recently went into a
room where a man was sleeping and quietly
robbed him of his shirt. without unbutton-
ing it or awakening the owner. His ghost
shin also pulled off his stockings and carried
them to the roof of the building. pinning
them fast to the caves. The occupants of
the house treat their guest with considera
ton, and are moving out so that he, she or
it may have the whole house to roam in.

A POWERFUL MIcRosCoPE.-The most pow
erful microscope ever made has been con
structed by Messrs. Powell & Lealand. and
described in paper recently read before the
Royal Society of London. The power ofthis
instrument is fully double that Of any which
had ever been constructed previously; and
it altogether supersedes what had before
been considered the utmost attainable limit
of perfection in this instrument. This micro
scope magnifes 5000 diameters with its low
est eye piece, and $1,000 diameters with Its
highest the latter being equivalent to
making an object appear l.575, 900, 900 times
larger than it really is How immensely must
such an instrument increase our knowledge
of the lower organisms May it not even
enable us, eventually, to determine the ulti-
mate constitution of matter? 1t must at
least greatly aid savans in their researches In
that direction on.-lNechdnics' Magazine.
