spoke about the extravagance OF dis-
trict comman nderss -al1uding to Sickles
as a greater harlequin than the com
mander at New Orleans; and had
read by the Clerk newspaper articles
speaking of the display, made by
Sickles, riding around Charleston in

that itswas fitting a man who had lost
& leg in defence of his Government
should ride in coach and four.
Nothing important in the Senate,

ton Act, which goes to the Presi-
dent. ~

STORIES ABOUT WHITE ANTS.

STORIES ABOUT WHITE ANTS.
Travellers in the East have told some won
derful stories about the ravages committed by
the white, ant, but the following, from an Eng
lsh magazine, are, the latest:I LIS aasr
"An odd storyis largely credited in India
in regard to the veracity of the white ant. | A
gentleman having charge of chest Of money,
placed it on the floor, where it was speedily
attacked by these destructives, who soon ami
hated the bottom of the box and the bags
containing the specie, which fell piece by piece
into the holIows of the termites burrow just
underneath the floor where the box was placed.
When the coin was demanded it was not to be
found, but the attacks of the ants were incon-
testible, and the story got abroad that their
teeth were capable Of devouring metal. Some
years afterwards, when the house was under
going repairs, the whole sum was found sever
al feet deep in the earth in the midst Of the
ants nest. White ants once attacked a British
ship Of the line, the Albion. She was obliged
to put into port in consequence, and had to-
be broken up. i ~ ~ 9 - mi - !.
These creatures are much relished as food
oy the natives of the interior OF India, as we'll
as by those Of Africa. In India, before the
migration of the ants, two holes are bored IN
the nest opposite to each other on the leeward
SIDE pot is placed, which has been rubbed
with aromatic herbs; on the Windward side a
IRE is made, the smoke of which drives the ln-
sects into the pots. These captured victims
are then securely fastened in, dried over the;
are, and ground into -four, and madelnto a
pastry which is sold to poor people, but which,
II II used abundantly, produces dysentery. AT
the time Of the migration oftbe ants in Africa,
nyrlads of them fall into the water, when the
natives skim off the surface with calabashes,
then grill them in iron cauldrons over large
IRE: stirring them as coffee isstirred: The
natives eat them by handfuls, without ae-
Compartment or other preparation, and consldc- 81 q
er them very delicious They are said to re re-
semble IN taste sugared cream, orsweet almond
paste. The Hottentots eat them very greedlly
s snen boiled, and grow plump and fat upon the
lood They also consume the 4pupn Of the
sas ANTS, which they call rice, on account OF its
resemblance to that grain. They cook these in
small quantity ofwater. A large nest will
sometimes yield a bushel Of the pupe. {
