"A Harmless Reptile.

Not only are toads harmless they are absolute.
ly and directly useful 10 us, perambulating our
fields and gardens at night and devouring vast
quantities. of in urious insects which could never
be destroyed by the hand OF man. The mode in
which toad takes It's prey is very curious. The
singulary beautiful eye of the toad is quick
as it is bright, and if within the range of its Wis.
ion an insect or grub should happen to move,
the toad is sure TO see IT, and nearly certain to
catch 1t. First the toad nolds its head as high
as possible, so as to make sure of its prey, and
then crawls slowly toward 1t, preterring 10 get
under it If possible. WheE 1t is nearly within
reach, it gazes iatently a: the insect its mouth
being gradually brough. nearer and nearer
Something pink then flashes from its mouth, and
the insect v4nshes as if = magic.
The pink lash is the tongue OF the toad, which
Is formed In rather a curious way. The base of
the tongue is fixed close to the from. of the low.
er jaw, and is long and tapering the tip pointing
down the throat when it Is at rest. When, how.
ever, it is used for catching prey it is thrown
out with sort OF flick" and the tip which is
covered with glutinous sacre ton, adheres to
the insect and conveys it down the toads throat
before the prey has had time to make an effort
for escape When tho toad swallows its prey, it
does 1T with mighty effort, during which the
eyes almost disappear the size Of the insect hav-
lug little 10 dn with the vehemence Of the dem
onstration. Sometimes when large beetle is
swallowed it does struggle, but too late, and for
some time its struggles may be seen through the
thin and ribless sides Of its capturer; the toad
sitting the while In perfect composure not in the
least affected by the scratchings and kickings
that are going on in his interior.
Indeed, the stomach of the toad seems IS do.
void of feeling as it were of iron. Moreover, the
toad not only cares nothing for the scratchings
and kickings of large beetle, but is equally in.
different to the stings of wasps bees and insects
similarl " armed with venomous weapons, and will
eat them with marvellous appetite, as if the sting
acted as q sort of gentle aid to digestion, like
cayenne pepper with cucumber CasselrS Nag.

ANDREW JOHNSON.
What a Fool He Was AZ Compared With
Grant.

Grant.
From the Cincinnati Commercial, C.ep)
1t appears that Vanderbilts partner in spec u.
lation, the Hon. Dick Schell, has been playing
his part in furnishing reasons, for President
Grants consideration, why the Central Railroad
should not be compelled to pay its tax to the
government. 1t is quite likely that Schell did
offer to furnish funds for the next presidential
| campaign, in case the decision was favorable to
the railroad. His own oft.repeated account of
his failure, when he attempted politico finan-
cial transaction with Andy johnson, ought to
have prevented him from making any such offer
Four years ago, or about impeachment time,
money was very badly needed by the johnson
party in Washington for political purposes. 1t
was of the utmost importance to Johnson him
self that the means should be procured for carry
Ing on certain elections, and for other political
objects. At this juncture, Schell turned up in
Washington and procured an interview with
Andy: eve heard, NJ. President, that money
was needed to help the interests of our partys"
EYES," said Andy, "very much needed, and I
have heard that you are willing to raise some of
it" Yes" was the reply. perfectly willing;
glad to do it. But now. Mr.. President, let's
talk business. There's forty or fifty millions of
government gold lying in the treasury which
ought to be sold in the New York market; and
if you'll give me an order on Secretary McCul-
Tough telling him to give me the selling of ten or
twelve millions Of that gold, I'll furnish all the
money that's needed for the elections"
"Well. sir!' exclaimed johnson, as he rose
from his chair, swelling up to twice his natural
proportions, and towering up to double his ordi-
nary height-"Well, slr!" exclaimed he, with
wrath on his face, determination in his voice,
and manner which made his interlocutor sup
pose he would be knocked down on the spot, "no
such corrupt transaction can be carried on with
Inc, and no such presidential order shall ever be
issued, elections or no elections, political success
or political perditisn! Good day, sir!' And
one of the parties instantly disappeared from the
White House, in a more rapid pace than he had
entered it. and feeling considerably less i'm.
| portant.
This would be good anecdote for Secretary
Boutwell, to tell President Grant when be gets
| back to Washington.

The Tale of n Fish,

few months ago, story was current III the
New York journals to the effect that a signst
ring bearing the monogram up. B." had been
discovered by fisherman in the entrails of cod
fish in Trinity Bay, n. +. The fisherman, John
Porter, kept the prize in his possession until the
18th inst, when he was requested in letter from
the colonial secretary to send or bring the ring
to st. Johns, as he had received letters from a
family named Brrnam, in Poole, England say
ing that they had reason to feel certain that the
ring once belonged to Pauline Burnam, who was
one of the several hundred passengers of the
Allan steamship Anglo.Saxon, which was wreck.
ed off Chance Cove IN. F.) in 1861, the said Pau.
line Barnam being relative of theirs.
The fisherman, in whose possession the ring
was brought it to st. Johns and prsetented it at
the colonial secretary's office He was requested
to take a seat and wait awhile After about half
an hours delay the man of fish was introduced
to an elegantly dressed gentleman, Mr.. Bur.
nam, whom the colonial secretary had sent for
on the fishermans arrival. ''t
The ring was Immediately identified by Mr..
Burnam. who called it his mothers wedding
ring, which she had always worn since her
marriage in Huddersfed, England, in the
year 1s4G. -., ....,,.
The ring was accordingly given up to Mr.,
Burnam, who rewarded the fisherman with bank
notes amounting to $50 sterling.
