About Flies.

The naturalist recognizes many hun
dred kinds of fies In this country; but in
our household economy we reduce them
mainly to three sorts-housing flies, Bit
ing flies, and blue bottle or blow flies. Tho
latter is readily distinguished the two
former are frequently COMPOUNDED, al
though easily known apart by the natur-
alist or acute observer. They may, how.
ever, always be identified Ut . glance by
the position they assume on the wall. A
common house fly almost invariably rests
with his head downward, and however it
may light, works its way round until this
direction Is assumed. The biting flies, on
the contrary, a. universally rest with the
head pointing upward, acting in this
respect precisely like the equally blood.
thirsty mosquito. The brother Of an emil
nent Russian entomologist, now residing
in the United States, observed . peasant
In his own country killing some Of the
fiies on wall of his hut without disturb
ing others and, on being questioned. he
gave as reason that these with their
heads up were "biters," and the others
were not. A careful examination of the
facts by the entomologist himself proved
the accuracy of the generalization thus
made by an ignorant but observant man.

The new bridge which is to con,
meet New York with Brooklyn will
be "hugeous affair" The towers
from which it will spring are to be
two hundred and seventy eight feet
high; or only eight feet shorter than
the spire of Trinity Church. At the
base they are one hundred and forty
nine by seyenty-fye feet in thickness.
All the facing stone is to be of the
best granite, and every inch of the
masonry is to be of the most durable
kind. There will be sixty-live thou
sand tons of solid masonry in one of
these immense towers, irrespective of
the foundation upon which it rests,
which will, it is estimated, weigh Sc
veral thousand tons. The floor Of
this unequalled bridge is to be one
hundred and eighteen feet above the
waters Of East River.

The old imbecile sits there counting
his beads, listening to his serviie fiat
terers and imagining himself Father
of the world, when few are so low as
in their hearts to do him reverence
Save the disgrace of the pope himself,
we cannot imagine any beings who are
really fallen so low and are looked
upon with so much contempt as those
members of the pope's council who
encouraged him in his pretensions, and
votes for his empty and futile procla-
nation.
Now there may be some over san
guine enemies of the assumptions OF
the Papacy, who are expecting the
speedy and entire dwindling away of
the Roman Catholic Church. Not
outstanding we have written the alb

great zeal, great ability to assume
forms and measures to suit its varying

that the end justifies the means, il

their own purposes. 1t doubtless will
live and flourish and be strong, anC
possibly increase for some generation
to come. But it appears quite rea
sonable and probable that its ARC
