MILITARY RECONSTRUCTION
RILL NO. 2.

The Fortieth Congress has given birth to
another reconstruction bill. II Is intended
as a sort of "pOOr mans plaster" to the pro-
duction of the Thirty-Ninth Congress, Either
would be considered arst-class ukaso in
Russia. Taken together, the reconstruction
legislation of the two Congresses neither de-
monstrates very clear knowledge Of political
economy or Of comprehensive statesman
ship nor does it partake Of that wholesome
common sense which animates and char.
acterizes all the people Of the United States
toward the oppressed Of every race. Let
our charity begin at home.

DEFYIHG THE SURGEoSs.-The Milwaukee
Wisconsin notices a remarkable case in
which a bullet passed into the brain Of a
man who yet lives in apparently good health
1t appears that Ole Eyersen, Norwegian,
about 0 years of age, a private of company
X I'd Wisconsin infantry, was wounded in
the head by rife ball on the 2lst of July,
1861, just as he was entering the battle Of
Bull Run. He was taken prisoner and
carried to Richmond, and there attended by
DR.. James NJ. Lewis, the surgeon Of his regi
ment, who had also been captured DR..
Lewis and several rebel doctors decided that
any attempt to remove the ball, which had
plainly lodged in the brain, would end fatally,
and therefore contented themselves with
dressing the wound, which soon healed up,
although it would open at intervals and dis
charge good deal of offensive matter.
After years Imprisonment the man was ex-
changed, went home and to work on farm,
where he seemed to get entirely well. A
year afterwards he re.enlisted served during
the remainder of the war, and is to-day on
his farm, hale and hearty with every pros
pect Of long life before him, and feeling no
further i'll effects from the bullet in his brain
than an occasional headache.

THE INSECT AND THE MICRO.
SCOPE.


A tiny insect was captured by savant
and placed in microscope, which magnifed
objects several thousand times, and the
learned man proceeded to explain to his pupils
in lecture the peculiarities Of the insect. He
described him as wonderful creature, whose
relative strength was such that If man
or beast possessed muscular powers proper
tionally great he could overcome all Of his
species that might be arrayed against him,
and could move weights so ponderous that
the strongest machines are now required to
lift them. The students we're allowed to
look in the microscope, and each was filled
with wonder at the appearance Of the insect
under its magnifying power.
After the lesson was finished, the insect
was released and went his way, but he imme-
diately began to reflect upon the description
given Of him and the praises bestowed on
him by the wondering pupils. He soon i'm
agined that he was as large as he had ap-
peared to the scholars; began to see himself
as others saw him through the magnifying
glass. Doubling not his power, the vain in
sect now resolved to go forth and STAY oil the
tribes Of insects around him. partly to crafty
his ambition and partly from motives of re-
vengc. Accordingly he sailed out, and hay
ing made conquest Of few feeble ephemera,
he kept boldly on his way until he encoun-
tered beetle. The beetle was clad in coat
Of mail Yellowish upon the back, orange col
ored at the edges, and azure green upon the
breast and belly. The small insect assailed
him straightway, but the beetle thinking the
collision had been accidental, walked on in
pursuit Of his own proper business. The
fierce insect now commanded him to halt
and defend himself, and the beetle, with
great surprise, saw the little creature pre-
pairing to dash AGAINST him. With q calm
contempt he ntGf .red to receive the attack.
He ele-'.> us antenne, expanded his
pincers, anu Shen the furious insect made
the onset he seized him in those strong for
ceps with which beetles are armed and
pinched him in halves

Do not estimate your own powers by the
praises that may be bestowed on you by
