THE TRADES OF ANIMALS.

The following observations, which
we coy rerbofio1 from an 'Old Curios-
ty Shop" have reference to animals,
and exhibit at lest their apparent
knowledge Of the sciences ; also their
professions, occupations, and enjoy
ments: Bees are geometricians their
cells are 30 constructed as, with the
largest quantity Of material, to have
the largest sized spaces and the least
possible loss of interstice. So, also is
the ant-li0n ; his tunnel shaped trap is
exactly correct in its conformation, as
ifit had been made by skiilful artists
of our species, with the aid of best in
struments. The mole is ametrologist.
The bird called the ne-killer is an
arithmetician; so also is the crow, the
wild turkey and some other birds.
The torpedo, the ray, and the electric
ell are electricians. The nautilus is a
navigator; he raises and lowers iI,s
sail. casts and weighs his anchor and
performs other nautical eyoIutions,
Whole tribes Of birds are musicians.
The beaver is an architect, builder and
and w0odcutter he cuts down trees sand
erects houses and dams. The marmOt
is civil engineer he not only builds
houses but constructs acqueducts and
drains to keep them dry. The white
ants maintain regular army of sol
diers. The East India ants are horti-
culturaIists; they make mushrooms,
upOa which they feed their young.
Wasps are paper manufactures. Cater
pillars are silk spinnerS. The bird pit"
ceUs fe.cf0r is a weaver; he weaVes a
web 10 make his nest. The prima Is
tailor; he sews leaves together to make
his nest. The squirrel is ferryman
with a chip or Il piece Of bark for 4 boat,
and his tail for a sail, he crosses a
stream. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and
many others are hunters. The black
bear and heron are fishermen. Tie
ants are regular day-Iaborer7. The
monkey isa rope dancer. The associ-
a ion of beavers presents Us witha mod
el republicauisu. The bees live under
a monarchy. The Indian antelope>
furnish an example Of patriarchal gov
eminent. Elephants exhibit an ari,-
tocracv of elders. Wild horses are
said to select their leader. Sheep, in a
wild state, are uader the control of

sPOONSi o, Spoons !

It seems the great spOon-fancier is
not forgotten, bat tas Artemus Ward
would have said) "on the contrary far
otherwise" An exchange says:-
"From all sections OF the country
from Maine to Alaska, from the North,
the South. the East, and The West
worthless old spoons have been sent to
the Beast" by express and by mail.
Spoons of wood, bone, horn, pewter,
tin, iron, and brass pour in upon him
at all hours. The plague of spoons Is
becoming more uncomfortable to Butter
than a plague of frogs. Baskets OF
spoons are brought to him from the
p0stotfice. and the express carts are
constantly delivering them al his door.
The suggestion is made that these Of.
erings be kept up.'

THE CENTRAL HEART OF THE
EARTH.-A5 to the silver mines in
that State, Nevada paper says: "The
increase in the heat Of our mines is now
beginning 10 give many of our minirg
companies more trouble. and is PROV
ing great obstacle to mining oper;
tion5 in those levels lying below
depth of ,OG0 feet, than any veins CT
pocket deposits of water yet encoun-
tered \ number of the leading COM
panies on the C0mstock are now er-
gagged in putting in engines, to be used
expressly for driving fans for furnish"
ing air to the lower levels, forcing it
through large tubes of galvanized iron.
With this great increase Of heat in our
mines comes 81 great decrease Of water;
in fact, in our deepest mine-the Bull
lion, which has attained the depth Of
| POO feet-not a drop Of water is TO be
seen; it is a5 dry as lime-kiln and as
! hot as an oven. In the lower workings
of the CholIar- POto5i mine, which are
a perpendicular depth of | 100 feet be-
| low the surface, the thermometer now
stands at 100 degrees-a frightful heat
to ne endured by a human being en-
gagged in a kind of labor calling for Sc
we're muscular eXertiOn. Here, also
we find the water to have decreased
till there is at the present time very
/ insignificant amount, it being necesSa-
ry TO run the pump but four hours out
j of the twenty-four.
( This tends to corrob0rate the theory
Of some geologist that the interior OF
! the earth is a molten mass.

Dropping rhe Name.

The Hartford Post says: "NTr.
Pendlcton oonnot complain that his
name was dropped suddenly. 1t was
the most gradual dropping possible.
1t was dropped syllable by syllable and
letter by letter. For instancc-the cs-
cort came in carly in the week with a
loud, distinct and clearly pronounced,
"Hurrah Tor Pcndlcton." The halls
and corridors of the hotels, the lobbies
of Tammany, and the bar-rooms of
the metropolis, were full Of it. In n
night or two it changed. Through
the clnk of glasses the sound came,
"Rah FIR Pendulum" A little later,
legs became uncertain, and voices
husky, and the cry was, "Rah FIR
Pen'lun." Then collars wilted, green
back badges began to disappear-the
defiant tone grew soiter-and thicker,
as the sounds gurglcd up from full
hearts and stomachs, cray f'r Pe'hl."
And at last, one melting morning, just
at dawn of day, Police 969 found
clnging to a lamp post near the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, a dilapidated patriot,
appareled in q mildewed linen dustcr,
and a half a grcenback badge, who, 10
all inquiries, made the sole reply,

EruY YOUR VALUAnLES!

There is said to have been great alarm
in Greene County at the time Jenkins
and his maraulcrs of rcba.-raiding,
Morgantown-plundcr.ng propcnsitics
wos about to make descent on the
quiet farms aud homes;elds of thi,
ou!-of-the-way place. The banks sent
off their specie and burned large
amounts Of scrip, merchants buried
their goods and housewives their
plate. Why this CONSERVATION at that
time? The majority of the popula-
ton of our county were the avowed
"lriends" of jenkins and his ilk, who
though armed might have been con-
cilated by a harmonious giving away
Of property. On the 4th of July
last we see these raiders and our
Greene countians, in their representa-
tives, at New York, hobnobbing and
offering our citizens a code of prin-
ciples that is to accomplish our financial
ruin and waste our property more ef-
fectually than armed plunderers could
do it, and yet there is no cry of alarm,
not move toward burying valuablcs.
They have proposed to wipe out our
war debt by liquidation, pay theirs
because it was constitutionally incurred
and pension rebel soldiers inasmuch
as they are "our peers" Those vino
vote the Democratic ticket vote for
this, and it is as prudent now to hide
their money as it was in raiding times.
This is only a slyer way of stealing,
and experience proves that rebels
were always severest on their prolesscd
''friends."

ISLANDERS OF Radicals Reruted.

We are pleased to learn that the
Radical ISLANDERS against the ever loyal !,
and faithful Democracy will be tri-
umphantly refuted on the stump du-
ring the campaign, by undoubted
eSponents of Democratic sentiment.
We copy the programme from the
Hartford Post. 1t will be seen that
not vcstige of the Loyal Libels will
remains;
The Democrats. are about orgaui-
zing their campaign. Orators will be
selected with special regard to their
fitness for certain localities, and their
adaptation 10 the business of meeting
and relhting black Republican SLAM
dcrs. 1t has been charged that Sey-
mour was not n loyal mau--that he did
not contribute to the support of the
Rebellion. Mr., Vallandigham will
answer that charge upon the stump in
the North and Wade Hampton in the
South. Both these gentlemen support
Seymour on account ofhis loyalty. 1t
has been charged that he was in SYM.
pathy with the New York rioters/in
July. James and Erastus Brooks ond
Isaiah Rynders, who melted the mob,
will answer that charge. They sup
port him because he put down the riot.
1t is charged that he is in favor Of
paying the interest on the national
debt in "irredecmable currency"
George II. Pcndleton will be put upon
the stump to answer this. Pendeton
supports him because he is the bond
holders candidate. 1t is charged that
Seymour is in favor ofpaying the cou-
pons in gold. Mr.. Belmont, who is n
great sticlkler for equality in taxation
and now supports Seymour as a plow-
holder against the bond c-holdcr, will
put several speakers on the stump to
rcfute this charge. 1t is charged that
Frank Blair is in favor of overturning
the governments of the reconstructed
States by military interference. Hem
ry Clay Dean, who is cminently man
ofpeacc, will throw his whole intellect
ual 'heft on that slander. 1t is charged
that Blair drinks. Salisbury of Del
aware will reply to that accusation.
1t is charged that the platform is in
favor ofrcpudiation. Brick Pomcroy,
an eminent upho!tler Of tho National
debt and honor, will devote himsclfto
answering this charge. 1t is charged
that the election Of the ticket will "sc-
cure to the Coniederacy what it failed
to obtain in the field" In answer to
this base SANDER such distinguished
patriots as Henry A. Wise, G. II.
Beaurcgard, Wade Hampton, Gov.
Vance, JEFF Davis, and A. II. Stephens
will take the stump.

A careful perusal of Commissioner
Wells report printed on this page
will disabuse the mind of any who
are led to believe the statement of
Democrats about unnecessary extrava-
gancc etc. Instead of $l5O,OOO,0OO
expended in keeping an army in the
South the cost, in the last fiscal year
ending June 30, of Reconstruction,
Freedmen's Bureau, Indian Bureau
and Army aggregates but $62,727,-
$50. The copperheads missing it
about $1OO,OOO,OOO. When they tell
you Grant will be defeated by about
$4,000 majority in this State you can
estimate accordingly.
