Georgia scene: Nj. Thomas Gibbs,
a substantial citizen of Wilcox, went
into the woods flew days ago to feed
some of his hogs. While going along
he saw q black fox squirrel moving
very slowly through the grass, and his
curiosity being excited, he went up to
it, when to his astonishment, he beheld
a small highland teFrapin holding fast
to the squirrel by one of its hind legs.
The squirrel used all its strength to es-
cape BY actually dragg1ng the terrapin
finally reaching d small sapling, il
climbed up that in the hope of releasing
the terrapin. But the teTrapin held to
the squirrels foot with a death-grip,
and Nh. Gibbs went to the sap1ing and
shook them out. The terrapin still
kept his hold, and was dragged by the
squirrel to a gopher hole near by, and
was carried intoit. This was the last
seen of the terrapin and its victim.

ALondon correspondent of the Bos-
ton Globe states that it is not at all un-
likely that Mr.. Benjamin, ex-Confeder-
ate Attorney General, will be elevated
to ajudgeship sooner or later. He is at
this moment one0f the most successful
advocates at the English bar, with an
enormus and growing practice. The
appointment of a barrister of foreign
descent to so high an office would be
very unusual, If not unprecedented, in
Great Britain. Mn. Benjamin is q man
of brilliant ability as an advocate, and
was surpassed by very few as an orator
when he sat in our national councils ;
his speech on retiring from the Senate,
just before the war, was one of great
power, not soon To be forgotten by those
who heard il. But he is Of Jewish ex-
traction and, if promoted to the En-
glish bench, will be the first of that
faith to occupy q thigh judicial position
there. Were he to become LePd Chief
Justice, md Mr.. DisTaeli again Premier,
the singular spectacle would be exhibit
ted of Jewish heads Of the English adj
ministrati0n and the English law.

How the spider spins bis Web.

Most people have too great an antipathy to spi-
ders 70 spend even q few minutes In watching
Iheni. but We Mqst confess that We rather GgItf
tate theft acquaintance, as they CATCH and deyOQr
our enemies, the flies. The spinning aparntus of
spider is very curious. On the under part of the
body are several small prominehces covered with
many hundreds of small holes, through which ex-
udes gummy substance which hardens on expo
sure to the air. Thus each little hsle produces
thread Of incOncelvable fineness; and when these
many threads are Joined together, they form whai
we see as single thread. When L spider WIshea
70 fotm'a web, ifhe belongs to tile race OF geo
hetrlcA spiders, which build wheel shaped web,
lie selects some convenient place, and proceeds to
lay the foundation by attaching the spokes of this
wheel to proper Objects he then commences at
the centre formed by the crossing of these lines
and travels round and round, spinning his web,
employing his feeers for guides 10 distance
lie always uses the outer web rs q pathway, and
every time he crosses one of the spokes he at
taches his line to 1t. When he has finished, he
lakes AIS position at Inc centre, head dOWnVErd,
ind wats for the Uhlucky Insect which he Is SURE
Eifl soon happen along, As soon as he peFoeVes
that some awkward ny has run against his dell
cate frame work, he bounces out on him and
quickly ties him fast hand and foot SO that he
may devOur him at leisure. But it Is not alone
for laying traps and tying fast his unlucky vic
Tins that the spider uses his web. II he wants to
eIOss from one tree to another, or from one side
of stream to the opposite, he uses the web fc- C.
pF4AsS' inns ne conSEiACLs lY tSkfns q AYOFaplJ
p6sitlon ahd then spinning web, which he letS
A9at Ii the Wind IS soon Us i strikes some ob,
feet 10 which 1t adheFes he pulls 1t, TO SEQ that Ii
IL secure, and then crosses on this single line
This Is an achievement In engineering that far
Burpasses the snsnA~"-S "-'HN-- 80, ~ ounAn
skill. Here is = bridge, Often-times from my 10
one hundred feet long, spun by SO Insignificant
an insect that we may have some trouble to IND
him, yet strong enough to bear his weight safely:
When spider lshes TO descend troHl an eleYa-
ton, he attaches tho end of his web to some OBJ
Jeet and then boldly launches off, spinning as he
goes. When he gets down he cuts the line and
leaves it, unless he wishes to return Immediately,
In which case he coils it up and takes II along as
he ascends.

"1,ove Is b. sitter than house or lands;
Il. sir St.Nphen, Ill ride with theew
oaiek she stt'ps where the cOurser stands,
Light she sDSings to the saddle-tree.
Love is better than kith or kinl
SO eIose ahe clung and 50 close elasped he,
They heard ne sob Of the bitter wind.
Nor the anoR that shudderOd along the lea.
Love il better than life or breath
The drifts are over the hOrse'r Knee,
Softly they aink TO the soft, cold death,
And the saOW-shroud fol IS them silently.
Han Sss and lands are gone for aye.
Kith an kin like the wild wind foe:
Ti1s and broaih have futtered away,
But love hath blossc cued eternsilY'
