THE HOUSE-FLY.

How many of our readers are
familiar with the early history of
the common house-fy, an insect
that makes its appearance in early
spring in countless swarms, coming
from some unknown locality, and
disappearing almost as mysteri-
ously? There are few insects at
once so familiar to all, and yet the
natural history Of which is so little
understood and it may not be amiss,
therefore, to recount few facts
which have been ascertained in re-
garb to it.
The order of Diptera, to which
our fly belongs. is one Of great ex-
tent, and its members, in their diff
ferent forms, include mauy of the
greatest pests in existence, both to
man and animals. The mosquito,
the gnat, the biting fly, and the
horse fly, the tsetze, limb, and other
species, are well-known illustrations
of this statement, many of them
being armed with lancets and other
forms of oppressive weapons, by
means of which they become a
source of torment. The house fly,
however, although provided with
somewhat similar apparatus, does
not use it commonly so as to draw
blood, it's offensiveness consisting
principally in the pertinacity with
which it insists upon crawling over
the skin Or in infesting articles of
food.
The eggs Of the house-fy are laid
in decaying vegetable matter, such
as dead leaves, and especially in the
manure of stables, about seventy or
eighty being the usual number.
These soon hatch, and the larva
grows rapidly, feeding upon the
substances found near it. After a
short time the outer skin hardens,
and becomes brown and tough,
forming a case shaped like little
barrel divided into rings. The
transformation of the larya is quick
ly made, ard the animal is soon
ready to emerge as a perfect insect.
The common blow-f1y is another
species of this order, which lays it's
eggs in decaying flesh, and which
sometimes hatch before leaving the
body of the parent, and in any
event very soon become developed
into the larvae. These form the
we'll known maggots, which are the
annoyance of housekeepers in hot
weather.
A fly very similar to the house
fly in general appearance, but with
the wings diverging more widely
when in state of rest, is provided
with a very powerful lancet, by
means of which blood may be
draw in an instant after settling
upon the body of an animal 1t is
a curious fact that this species, like
the mosquito, in alighting upon an
upright surface, uniformly rests
with it's head upward, the true
house fly occupying a precisely op-
posite direction, or with the head
downward, thus affording a ready
means of distinguishing them.
The house fly, both as grub and
perfect insect, furnishes food to a
great variety of other animals; but
the destruction of the adult is large
ly due to the growth of a parasitic
fungus which attacks it, and, devel-
oping rapidly in its interior. soon
exhausts its vitality Editors

The Result of a Spree-A Drunken
Father Kills His Child.

A man by the name OF Valentine
Kline, living at No. 1877 Pleasant
street, who had been on a spree for
several days, went home drunk
night before last and abused his
wife shamefully because she asked
him for money to buy some grocer
les that were needed. He sat down
by the stove in the kitchen where
she was preparing supper, as ugly
and disagreeable as he could well
be. His wife set the table and
poured out the coffee for the chill
dren, and asked him to eat with

Since loss OF thee caused me to mourn.

Come back to me father, and bear
These blessings that trouble me so.
Come back to me, father, come back!

Thy presence will save an attack
From the worlds cold and merci1ess power
The world is SO cold, so untrue,
So hollow. SO base, SO de1led,
No wonder the heart calls for you.-
o, Father, come back to thy child!
Once thou vast my shield and my guide,
Then was not burdened with care;
loved to sit close by thy side,
For solace and joy found there:
Thy love too, SO warm and so pure,
Itfiowed from a kind parents heart;
The thought, o. tits hard to endure,
That death me from thee thus should part.

Thy counsel feel that need;
Life's battle now RACES in sight
And makes this poor heart of mine bleed.
Come speak to me, father, do speak,
Then was music so sweet in thy voice,
One Word will write hope on the cheek
And cause this poor heart to rejoie.
o, speak to me, father, do speak!

FREE TRADE VS. PROTECTION.
IRON.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
AS the caption of this article is
now the theme most agitating the
mind Of the whole country and, as
thefifteenth commandment is now
a settled fact, tariff reform, or "Free
Trade" must command much
more attention. Therefore, I pro-
pose, by your permission, and time
permitting, to reason little, through
the columns of the REPUBLICAN,
with your readers and see if we can
not be awakened to what, in my
opinion, is the true ground, as ma
ton, for the benefit of the great la
boring masses of our country, upon
which to stand, on this great quest
ion.
The time was, but,in my opinion,
is now past, when capital should
receive, as it did, the fostering care
of the nations legislation to the
detriment of the consuming and
toiling millions of our people.
To some extent. when our coun-
try was young, and its cultivation
and development extended very lit
tie beyond the western base of the
Alleghanys, and when the interests
oflabor were not diversified but con
fined mainly to mechanical work
performed by hand, to agriculture
in its most common form, to the
coal and iron interests of the single
state of Pennsylvania, then it was
that the old "Protection'' cry OF
"high tariff, f,"of the oldWhig party
and which by the way expired with
the consumptive effect ''high tariff
had upon it's vital functions,-may
have been justified and justifable il
at all. The writer was then a 'P1o-
lection whig, of the Henry Clay
school of faith, and thought the old
argument of that party, viz: ere
duce the tariff and you stop our iron
works, throw the operators all out
of employment, make them all pro.
ducers instead of consumers. and
then where will your wheat, corn
butter &c. be sold, and what will be
the price received for it?" Was
Just the thing. True there was some
sense in it then, but not one bit now
Why? Because then if those .mer
were discharged they must become
producers or beggars now a thous
and other fields are open, demanding
the labor of every man of them
where good wages can be had.
Then there was not a Rail Roao
west of the mountains of Pennsyl
vaHia;; Then no telegraph wires
spanned the continent reaching ou
their arms to every nook and corn
er OF our land, employing more mel
than then mined and made iron in tn
whole country, saying nothing abou
the almost countless numbers more
now building and running the vas
lines of Rail Roads, and making
machinery therefore! Then ther'
were noExpress companies demand
ing thousands Of men, nor agricul
tural machinery to make, demanding
lcountless thousands almost, now, tt
till the vast plains and valleys of th'
changed and now improved west
but then an unknown and almos
unexplored wilderness. Here, ives
of the Alleghany's, is now the sea
of American Empire, capable o
producing food for all the civilized
world, ready to pour its colder
products into the lap Of every ma
ftion on earth. Here, now, the far

A CHINAMAN's OPINION OF THE
CRUcIFIx1oN.-Cn Good Friday last
a Chinaman who keeps a wash
house in Barkerville, noticing that
the banks and shops were closed
during the day, and desiring, as a
new conner, to post himself on Brit
ish laws and observances, entered
the shop of his next door neighbor,
a worthy son of St Crispin, for the
purpose of obtaining information
as to why the day was so kept.
The shoemaker, being Of a religious
turn of mind, grasped the opportu-
nifty to throw light on the benighted
intellect of the Celestial, and entered
into detailed account of the cruci-
fxion. After finishing the recital,
he asked John what he thought Of
the wicked manner Of the execution.
John, who had been somewhat in
terested, and not little excited,
during the narrative, burst out with
the exclamation, "Bahl loo mach

the CHINESE QUESTION.


At last, the revolution goes backward.
The peace and good will, and the vel
come With open arms, which were for
all men, are not. 1t is found that the
anxiety to secure especial advantages OF
trade with China led our public men to
make one step too many in the direction
of an open brotherhood. The ultra
radical men in the Republican party
have come to a full view, at last, OF bad
consequences which would certainly re-
suit from breaking down the barriers
which make distinctions on aecoun OF
race. We have been preached to, within
the party, since 1866. about the principle
demanding the obliteration of ell such
distinctions. We nave said that there is
no principle which can demand of Con
gress the endowment with the privileges
of citizenship of a people who are not
and by nature can not be on a social
equality with the people who conquered
the land, and built up institutions for
their especial advantage and that of such
as they choose to admit to a social
equality.
1t is not our part to quarrel with any
thing that has been introduced into the
policy of the party of the WARRIOR we
have no ground for quarrel. When it
became necessary to the success of the
war, slavery wes declared at an end-and
not till then-and not then for principles
but for policy. Policy is above princi-
pie in the affairs of a nation, as might is
above RICH. when it secures to our side
what is its advantage. Principle had
nothing to do with it, further than the
vindication of the right of the people to
govern the Country. The war, on that
principle solely, IA conducted on a va
rying policy. Lincoln, with a wisdom
beyond the conception of the men of
his time, continually ran the machine
as he found it; temporized with the
opposing elements, courted a truce with
slavery; and was compelled as a stroke
of policy, only, to declare war against
slavery.
When the war was over, the Admins
tration was ready to allow the States to
regulate the franchise. excluding the Ne
groes from the ballot box, till it became
a necessity of policy to secure the ground
gained by enfranehising the Negro in
the South-but not for principle. The
result of pursuing this line as the
true drift of principle, and for he sake of
principles self, was bringing us to the
