REMAINING spy.

1t was in the time of Romulus that
Tarpeia, the daughter of the Gov
ernor of the Roman citadel, agreed
to betray the garrison. Covetous
of the bracelets worn by the Sabine
soldiers, she demanded, as a reward,
the ornaments which they carried
upon their left arms. She opened
the gates of the fortress, and having
gained possession of it, the Sabines
threw their shields upon the trait
ress and crushed her to death. Down
through all the subsequent centuries,
says the Baltimore Gazette, the
crime which has been held in most
general detestation among men is
treachery. Even those who profit
by the deed invariably despise the
wretch who perpetrates it. But as
human affairs are conducted, it is
unhappily necessary both for the
civil and military authorities of
nation to reward individuals in Ger
tain cases for their desertion of duty
or betrayal Of a trust But such is
the contempt usually felt for the
traitor that he is generally awarded
his recompense in gold, and is sell
dom elevated to a lucrative place or
honorable Office. Arnold was one
Of the exceptions TO this rule, but
notwithstanding the rank conferred
upon him, he was universally alb
hOrred by the people TO whom he
sought to render such invaluable
service. But the Radical party in
this country, having no nice scru-
pies about the means by which it
attains its ends, makes little distincS
ton between dirty and honorable
work. 1t cOnfers upon the spy and
the traitor the same kind of reward |
that it gives to the gallant soldier.
AS if to encourage others to emulate |
her infamy, it has just appointed
one Miss Van Lew to be postmis-
tress at Richmond. This important
position has been bestowed upon
her in consideration of her BETRAYAL |
of the people of that city when Gen.
Grant was before it. She was enti-
tied to blood money for her base
treachery, but it is indecent and
scandalOus TO the last degree that
such person should be elevated to
a high and responsible Office. All
other considerations apart, the pub
lie interests demand that the gov
eminent agents should be selected
for some other reason than their

The Wonders of the Microscope-A
Living He'll I'm a Cubic Inch OF
Sugar.
From the New York Sun.
Last night we saw the hidden
wonders of raw sugar as they were
revealed to us by microscope of
uncommon power and great detect
i've ability, which win forever set us
against all sweets in that form with
an intensity of horror, such as no
man can conceive who has not been
behind the scenes. We saw the
living hell itself, however, in less
than quarter of an ounce of raw
sugar. There were myriads, appa-
rently, of horrible insects as large
as beetles, and having the appear
ance of crabs. Four dreadful legs,
with claw-piecers at the end of
them, Joined in four parts as with
armors, and bristling with sharp>
pointed spears, were in front of the
monster, and his head was long
pyramidal form in two joints, with
five finger tips at the terminus where
the mouth ought to have been.
The body was oval-shaped, and
marked almost exactly like that of
crab, only upon the rims of an
inner circle upon the back there |
were twelve more of those long, |
sharp spears, with two at the tail,
and four snake-like tentaeula, ex-
ceedingly fine in articulation, and
no doubt intended like puss' wills
kers, to be feeler5, to warn the
hinder end parts of contiguous dan
ger. The reverse showed the ugli-
ness of that beast even more than
the diverse, but it also showed the
wondrous mechanical genius of the
maker of it. Each limb was padded
by mass of muscle at the base,
which gave the impression of i'm
mense (relative) power, and over
the muscle there was a case of
armor through which it showed
Talk about lively beasts, and
lively they were. Eager, restless,
ravenous; always falling foul on
each other, or attacking great joints
of sugar, as large, in reality, as a
mathematical point. With pincers
attached to the end of each probes.
els, they caught hold Of one another,
and tore one another, repeating in
their small way, the enormous
tragedies of Tennyson's primal
monsters.
The way these marvels came to
light was this: A spoonful of raw,
coarse sugar, was dissolved in about
three times the quantity of water,
when, as with conjuror's rod, the
sprang to the surface,
and hoated there, swimming about,
and up and down, like the beasts
that wriggle in soft water tubs, and
and finally turn into flies resembling
but harmless. These
sugar animalcules, or Gcdri sac
fhaJ9, as the scientific men call
Them, were then gathered up in
spoon, and placed under q glass
about two hundred
lines. They could be seen, hOw-
ever, with the naked eye, to begin
with, but not in their hideousness
until the object glass brought it out.
It has been proved that in every
pound of the unrefned, raw sugar,
here are 100000 of these acari. In
fifteen grains weight, DR.. HasSall,
Of London, found one hundred of
.hese insects; and Dr.. Barber, of
he Royal College of Surgeons, Ire
and, found 1 400 in forty five grains
weight, or 5000 in pound.
Worse still, as a matter of es
hetics, this is the very same insect

inns in Scotch beds, and treats
