The Anatomy Of Insects.

"Man generally flatters himself that his
anatomy is about the highest effort of di-
vine skill, yet that of the insect is far more
complicated. No portion of our organism
can compare with the proboscis of the COM
mon fly. Man can boast of 270 muscles
Lyonet, who spent his life in watching a
single species of caterpillar, discovered in
it 1000. The common fly has 5000 eyes,
and certain butterflies $4,000, M. Touchet
treats it as an established fact that so fine
are the sensory organs of ants, thar they
can converse by means of their attenn@.
Consequently the strength of the activity
of insects far surpass ours in proportion.
In the whole field Rf natural science, there
is nothing more astounding than the num-
Der Of times fly can flap its wings in a
second it must in that point of time vi
brate its wings five or six hundred times.
But in rapid flights we are required to be-
lieve that three thousand six hundred is a
moderate estimate"

gB- The John O'Groat Journal says -
A clergyman resident in this county, while
on his pastoral rounds a few days ago, met
a tinker lad playing on the bag-pipes He
listened with attention to the various airs
played, and expressed his admiration Of the
excellent manner in which the music had
been performed, but being apprehensive
that the performers musical talent had
been cultivated at tie expense of knowl-
edge of more momentous character, he
asked him If he knew "What is mans

When we write letter to friend we
expect an answer. We wait for it. We
are disappointed if it does not come.
When we ask favor from an intimate
friend, we expect to receive it. If we are
hungry, and go to the house of a friend and
ask for food, we wait with the expectation
of seeing it set before us. We do not ask
for it, and then leave the house with;the
air of one who expected no favorable reply
to his request.
How is it with respect to our prayers?
Do we expect answers to themP Are we
disappointed when they do not come? Or
do we go to the throne of grace and make
our request, and then go away with the air
of one who has no expectation of receiving
that which he asked for?
How far are our prayers mere forms Z?
How far are they insulting to God? for
what is it to ask Him for that which we do
not expect Him to bestow?''
True prayer is very serious matter. 1t
should not be offered without forethought
and preparation We should not be con-
tent to utter series of continuous petit
tions. That may be making prayer, but
it is not praying.
In order that we may offer true prayer,
we must have definite object before our
mind, and must earnestly desire it, and
must be satisfied that it is in accordance
with the will of God. We may then ask
for it, and if we ask Alright, we shall expect
an answer. Those who do not expect and
wait for answers to their prayers can not
be said to pray Alright.
And when the answer is received, never
fail to give thanks. An old Christian said
"When you get anything from God, never
fail to write a receipt for it,"
EB-" How long does it take to be con-
verted9 ?" said young man to his father.
"How long" asked his father "does it
take the Judge to discharge the prisoner
when the jury have brought him in not
guilty?"
" Only minute"
"When a sinner is convinced that he is
a sinner, and is sorry for it: when he desires
forgiveness and deliverance from sin, and
believes that Christ is able and willing to
save him--he can be converted as speedily
as the prisoner can be discharged by the
Judge. 1t does not take God long time
to discharge penitent soul from the con
demnation and power of sin.

When in the canvass last spring,
we told the people, that the present
Republican patty was being run by mo-
nopoics, and that Ben Holiday and
his paid attornies claimed that the
people Of the State had parted with
their sovereign power to regulate or
control the carrying trade of this
State, by regulating the rates of toll
upon rivers and railways, and that
unless they rose up in their majesty
and put down these corrupt plans al
ready laid, to reduce them to poverty
no remedy would be obtained in the
next Legislature, against these imposi-
tions aud usurpations, the Grant party
denied, and charged US with misrcpre~
sentations; how now stands this dark
account! Do the people now see who were
right and who wrong? here are the "a ct.
a bill was presented in the House where
there were thirteen majority, which
proposed to restrict corporations and
companies in this State, who arc oper-
ating railroads and running steam
boats in their tariff upon the people
to reasonable rates, nj least not allow
them to run up at pleasure to runous
figures, AMI really proposed to limit
them to about their present rates, so
far as railroads were concerned, and
not allow Mr. Holiday or any other
monied man or company Of men, to
raise their rates at any time they
pleased, and COMPEL the hunest yeo,
manry ct this country, to pay into the
Golfers Of these unscrupnlous money
sharks, sufficient amount Of money
to constitute a corruption fund, adequate
to purchase the scallawag vote in our
cities, and thus elect their own lircling>
TO Office and rob the people, Tie bill
came up on It's final passage and Mr.
Caples aud Mr. Speaker Mallory, both
made flaming speeches against the bill

G5uriog, they should have elected
Senator in six hours without log rolling,
and then the people would have been
represented in the T. S Senate instead Of
Ben Holiday, They should have repu>
dated the lock swindle, and all other
jobs set up against the people, and in
the interest of corporations and individ-
nails, by indefinitely posponlng them
as fast as they come up, all Of which
they could have done in very short
space Of time, if majority was there
desiring to do right. The republican
Grant llolladay party lad a large ma
jority in the House and alone are re-
sponsible for this outrage. Nearly, if
not all CT the bills presented containing
schemes to rob the people, and upon
which SO much time and money was
spent, were brought forward by mems
bers of that party, and IN that branch,
purposIy and deliberately. They are
guilty as party, and they alone shall
bear the odium.
This corrupt party in power commenced
their glarins frauds early last spring in
tLeir primaries and conventions ,and they
have carried them out to the end, al
ways faithful to their master, Ben lIVl>
laday, the arch traitor Of Oregon's best
interest We are pleased to notice, that
some of the best Grant Republicans in
the State are beginning to get their eyes
open, and to feel scnsibly, the gauling
yoke of the Grant rings; when you have
got enough gentlemen, com with US
and we vii! do you good. The farmer
thinks it would be far better to have
a session of the Legislature once in four
years and allow them TO sit six months
The first session of that character, would
not only bankrupt the State, but would
sell us out body and brcechcs, to the
Emperor of China, in the same manner
that Grant purchased Santo Domingo
of the usurper lacz, except they would
insert an extra clause to the effect, that
Americans should retain or exercise no

LEGISLATURE.


The last Farmer attempts to admin>
ister small dose to our late legislature,
but it sugar coats the bills. The
Farmer says:
We believe that for ability and
honesty, the members of the present
Legislature compare favorably with
those OF any former one We doubt
not, large majority Of both houses
have done their best to serve their con-
stltuents faithfully. 1t is no fault of
iheirs that every Thoughtful citizen must
regard the whole forty days perform
ance as farce. They had nothing to
do with originating the farce. They
were only actors in it Others have
acted the same role before, and still
others will act in the future, until our
Constitution is amended, aud our
rFsSont system gives place to better
one.
Now we believe in saying just what
We mean, and when We say, that VIC
agree with the Farmer, :" that every
thoughtful citizen must regard the
whole forty days performance as a
farce" We mean just what we say But
we do not agree with the Farmer That
the great majority of the members .of
both Houses have done their best to
serve their constituents faithfully. 1t
seems to US that the two ideas can not
stand together; how can it be, that
there was working majority in both
Houses Of the Legislature, that really
desired to legislate For the good of the
people, and yet permit their
legislation to become q farce IF q
majority ip both branches of the as.
sembly desired to legislate for the good
of the people, instead.of Holladay, then
why did they not do it? They most
certainly had the power, who prevented
thcu? If they had majority they
could do as they please. They could
have prevented any legislation damag>
ing to the people, and could have
passed wholeso ONE Jaws demanded by
the people ;sthey could rrhave done
right and refused to permit wrong; why
did they not do il? The Farmcr ex~
cuses them by saying their time was
too short. That argument stands upon
false basis, for if their performance
of forty days was a farce, and fraud
upon The people, then a continuation Of
their stay would be greater farce, a
more gross, and gigantic fraud upon a
people already tax ridden and op>
pressed
The Farmer comedies itself with the idea
that "other Legislatures have actedIthe
the same role before, and still others
will in the future;" that may be sooih,
ing to the Harmer, butt will not satisfy
tho voters oe Oregon and we can tell
the Eormer now, that no Holiday Re-
publican Legislature will be per-
mittcd to rcenaot that farce in Oregon
for the next ten years.
The truth about the whole matter is
this. the majority of that Legislature
could have passed all laws of general
nature desired by the people, long be-
fore the expiration of tho forty days.

The Lock Bill introduced by Simp-
son did not pass. This will save the
people $4,000 taxes per year, but will
have the effect to throw the locks into
the hands of Ben Holiday who will cx-
tract from the people more than that

tariffs which this Legislature In total
disregard Of the peoples rights, absolute
ly refused to modify, limit or regulate.

The PROoF,-We said in a former
issue Of the REPUBLICAN,, that the
Grant Republican party were insinccre
in their professions Of equal rights
and we proved it. A bill was intro
duccd into the House, where that party
which boasts so much of equal political
rights has large majority, proposing
to give women the same right to vote,
if they desired, as men. This bill was al
NEST unanimously voted down. The bill
was then so modified as to allow them
to vote upon the question of licencc or
no liconce for tho sale of liquor, and
that even was spurncd by Republican
House in the face Of their own declara-
tion in their national platform, that
equal civil and political rights should
be guaranteed to all" We appeal to,
and demand of the friends of equal
rights, who have been by plans iniqui
tous and concocted in the dark, invei
gled into the support of this hypocrit-
ical party,to encourage them no longer !;

GREAT CRY AND g.aprAMW Woo2.
Before the election this party in
power, by their stump orators, ha~
ransued the people upon the question
of tho infamous acts, as they termed
them, OF The Legislature of two years
ago. They complained of divers
things the Swamp Land Act; the
act increasing the salary of the State
Treasurer; sundry acts making small
appropriations DC, they solemnly
promised, hat if the people would only
elect them to Office, they would repeal
or modify all these unconstitutional
and dishonest acts. They promised
they would be faithful to the Interests
of the people, and would pass laws fer
the best good of tie tax payers of the
State, and that they would not spend
their time on jobs for the benefit Of
individual interest.
The Legislature has met and their
forty days expired, and how have
these promises been fluff lied They
have logislated against the interest Of
the people to a degree which perfectly
ocEpsos the Legislature Of 1870.
They saddIcd upon the State debt
ten times larger than that fixed by

State from the grasp Of monied no,
nopolies, or the people against their
impositions and oppression. They
have refused to pass laws most whole
some for the people upon their most
solemn petitions. They have passed
laws against the best interest Of our
citizens regardless of their rights, and
both bnrdeusoua and wicked. They
have neglected and re.u. cd TO re-

which they themselves declared to be
