ABOUT FLEAs.-The smallest animal of the
brute creation, and the most pesky is the flea.
They are about the bigness of an onion
seed, and shine like bran new shot,
They spring from low places and can spring
further and faster than emmy Of the big brutes.
They bite wus than the muskeetoze for
they bite in run. One flea will go over aud
over a mans suburbs 10 2 minits, and leave
him az frerked as the M azles.
1t is impossible to do ennything we'll with
a flea on you except sware, and feas amt
afraid of that, the only way is to quit busi-
ness of all kinds and hunt for the flea, and
when you have found him he amt there.
This is one of the flea mysteries fakul-
ry they have of being entirely lost jist as you
have found them.
1 don't suppose there il ever killed on an
average, during emmy year, more than ID
aeas in the whole of the United States of
America, unless there is casualty of some
kind once in a while dog gifts drowned
sudden, and then there may be few feas
lost,
They are about az hard to kill fax seed
il and if you ion't mash 'em az fine az ground
pepper they will start bizrys' on smaller
kapi.al, jist as pestiferous as ever.
There is lots of people who never seen a
flea, and it takes pretty smart man to see
one ennyhow. They don stay long in place.
If you ever ketch flea, kill him before
you do enuything else, for if you do put it off
2 miuts it may be too late.
Many flea has passed Away forever in less
than two miuts.-Josh Billings.

General Lee Applauded vocIferous1y

A New letter Of the llth instant to the Cin-
cinnati Commercial says:
I went the other night to the Grand Opera
House with some western friends, who wish
ed to entertain themselves with the medley
ces that have been lately carried on there by
Lingard and Paul. One of the items of the
varied programme of the evening was the
appearance on the stage of number OF
characteristic figures representing the nota-
BILE men OF the day-such as Fisk, Greeley,
Grant, Lee, and perhaps halfa dozen others.
The figures walked to the foreground from
at time. Most of them excited but feeble in
terest in the audience, and called forth only
little laughter When the figure of Grant ap-
peared. however, clad in military costume and
smoking cigar, there were some signs of wa
king upin the house, and l shoulf say that
about one-fourth of the audience applanded
and another quarter Missed, while fully one
half the whole body took no part with either
side, but maintained their ordinary stiffness.
Immediately after the counterfeit present
ment of General Grant had disappeared, the
2gure of General Lee, grave, stately, and
white-headed, stood in the foreground, and In
stantly the house rang with long continued ap-
plause that seemed I. come from the Whole
body of spectators. There. were doubtless
persons present who did not join in the accla-
nations; but certainly one would rarely see or
hear more vigorous demonstration in any
theatre than was made on this occasion upon
the appearance of the Southern rebel leader.
do not attempt to account for this incident,
OF for such incidents, which are now, and al
ways have been, frequent enough In New
York. But was glad that General Butler and
Senator Sumner were not in the audience, for
they would doubtless have fastened back to
Washington and concocted bill for putting

SPEED OF THE SENSES.

There are thirty-one pairs Of compound
nerves in the human body, the sensory and
motor fbres of which are so commingled as to
render it an impossible undertaking to separ-
ate them by any means at present known.
Now If, for instance, needle be stuck into
one of the fingers, the sensory fbres take the
impression through the nerve and the poste-
rior root to the spinal cord and thence to the
brain. The command goes out to draw the
finger away" The mandate travels down the
spinal cord TO the anterior root, and thence
through the motor fibres of the nerve to the
muscles, which Immediately act, and the finger
Is ut once removed. All this takes place with
great rapidlty, but yet with nothing like the
celerity once imagined.
The researches of Helmholtz, distinguish
ed German physologist, have shown with
great eXactitude the rate of speed with which
the nerve fluid travels; and other observers
have given great deal Of time and patience
to this and kindred questions. As the result
of many deliberations, 1t was ascertained that
the nervous fluid moves at the rate OF ABOUT
ninety-scven and onc-tcnth feet in o second.
Now electricity travels with speed exceed
ing 200. 900 feet in second, and light over
500, 900, 900. A shooting star moves with
velocity Of 200, 900 feet in a second, and the
earth, In Its orbit around the sun, 100000. A
cannon ball has mean velocity OF 1900 feet In
a second; an eagle, 100; and locomotive, 95.
We thus perceive the nervous fluid has no very
remarkable rate ofspeed. A fact, which among
many others. serves to Indicate Its non-ldentity
with electricity.
Professor Donders, OF Utrecht, Holland, has
recently been making some interesting expert
ulents In regard to the rapldlty of thought,
which are likewise interesting. By means OF
two instruments, which he calls the noematach-
ograph and the noematachometer, he promises
SOME important details. For the present he
announces that simple idea requires the brain
to act for sixty-seven one thousandths of sec
ond for Its elaboration. Doubtless the time
required is not the same for all brains, and
that, by means of these instruments, we may
obtain definite indications relative to the men
tai callbre of our friends. What invaluable
Instruments they would be for nominating
caucuses for vestries, for trustees of colleges,
for merchants in want of bookkeepers; IN
short, for all having appointments OF any kind

For the eye to receive an impression requires

and for the ear to appreciate sound, one
hundred and forty-nine one thousandths OF

however, that this distribution of profits will
only be made on condition that your increased
efforts enttle you to it. Should the rule ope-
rale TO- our advantage, in relieving us from
following up the leaks and the loafers, We
shall continue it; not otherwise. If we derive
benefit from the system, we can secure Its
adoption In other establishments; but ifyou do
not appreciate the offer, we will consider you
untrue to yourselves, to your families, and
to your telow-workmen at large, and
will take pains to make the fact known.
What we expect In return is that you
will work earnestly and faithfully, and sec that
neither time nor material is wasted; that you
will point out to us any labor-saving item, or
other source of economy that may suggest it.
self to you. And above all, we expect that
those who do not enter into the spirit of the
matter will be pointed out to us for prompt
dismissal. We have appointed from among
you, to assist in carrying out this proposition, a
committee of seven, who may add to their
numbers as many as they see 1t. We suggest
that they hold q meeting at least once a
month, and we give them, free of any charge,
accommodations for this purpose, to consult
upon the working of the scheme and recon-
mend to US such action as they may consider
necessary on our part to It's promotion. The
foreman of the shop, though not appointed, Is,
by courtesy a member of the committee"
A visit to the extensive workshops Of the
establishment shows at a glance how well the
system works. The men look cheerful, are
strictly attentive to their various jobs, and no
idlers or skuIkers are to be seen. During the
busy season the men worked fourteen hours q
day, and completed work which had to be de-
liverpd at a specified time. A strike is IN un-
heard of thing here. Professional "tramps"
do not receive encouragement, and while the
concern reaps rich harvest the employees feel
sure of steady employment, regulated by a
committee of their own class, with the pleas
ing prospect OF participating In the profits OF a
thriving business. Mr.. Cameron is young
man, and one who has the good Of the labor
ing classes at heart, and If the men prove
faithful to their own interests, 1t Is probable
that while benefitting themselves directly, they
will produce change in the working of other
establishments which will In time be of great
and lasting benefit to all craftsmen.

SUCCESSFUL COOPERATION.
Employers Dividing Profits with
WOrkmen.
rFrom the New York Tribune ]

Mcssrs. A. S. Cameron & Co., who occupy
extensive premises in twcnty-third street, Tor
merIy known rs the New York Steam Engine
Works. and who are the largest constructors
of steam pumps in this country, have at pres
ent ITO men employed upon this specially,
and Notwithstanding the dullncss OF trade, are
buster than they have ever been before. Ine
rrcat feature of this establishment Is its
approximation to the cooperative sys-
fem which is rapidly developing itself
in this country. Mr.. Cameron inausllra-
led the plan on the 18th of July last,
and thus far it has worked admirably, giving
the most perfect satisfaction to all concerned.
The success which has attended 1t has been
watched with great interest by other estab-
lshmcnts. by which it will no doubt be adopt
ed. The amount Of capital invested in the
Messrs. Camcron's business is about s3OO.Oo
and agencies are established in all parts OF the
United States and in the principal countries In
Ellrope. and large stocks are on hand at the
agencies with which to supply the wants OF
trade. The general features OF the plan are as
follows: The books are balanced on the first
div of July each year. On the 18th day of
july. 1870, will be distributed among the work
men then in their employ ten per cent. of the
net profits accruing from the business during
the year ending July !. These profits will
be divided in proportion to the amount
of WAGES received by each man during tllaC

dends the employers are to perform the duties
assigned to them in such manner as to warrant
the employers In pursuing such course. The
act being entirely voluntary on the part Of the
employers, it conveys ne right to the employ
ces to such distribution of profits, they being
paid weekly wages which are full coinpensa-
lion for services performed. Lazy persons;
have been pointed out and dismissed, and
thus the interests of the hard-workinS men
have been protected, and they will not Ie cal
