The Court of Appeals having decided nd
Nersely to the petition of Nicholson, one of the
mnrderers of Mrs. Lampley, for a new trial,
on account of the admissihiity of some evil
dence (his own confession) at his trial, Gov
Whyte has, in accordance with the wishes of
number of persons and to further the ends
of public justice, postponed the execution of
lIolohan, the other accomplish in that afro
oious murder, until Friday, the FIRST day Of
August next, in order that both murderers
may swing from The same scaffold Thus if in
their lives they were not lovely, in their death
they will not be divided The spectacle will
be horrid one.
On Tuesday last the sentence of the law was
pronounced by Judge Miller against Nchol-
son, and he and Hollohan will no doubt be
hung together on the lst Of August. On be-
ing asked if he had anything TO say why SEN
tence should not be pronounced, Nicholson
made statement charging some of the wit
nesses with swearing falsely, and denying the
statements OF Hollohan. II seems strange that
these two men should, under such awful cir
cumstances, be guilty of deliberate lying. OF
the guilt of both there is not particle of doubt
1t may well be asked who are the savages
now. The sad story of the brutal murder of
the Modoc priscners-an account of which is
Published elsew here-casis a stain upon our
boosted civilization. 1t is no extenuation of
the inhuman act TO say that the persons muir
dered were Indians. They were unarmed and
dotenceless and entitled TO protection, being
prisoners, had surrendered, and afterwards
were employed in hunting down Captain Jack.
There is not much probability that the parties
engaged in this horrid affair will ever be
brought to justice, but the act itself will never
be justified by the American people.
The MoDocs. General Davis had made ar
engagements for hanging dozen Of the most
notorious Of the Modoc prisoners on Friday
Last, bnt received a6vices from Washington to
hold the prisoners until further advices. The
Attorney General has given his opinion that
they are not amenable for former crimes, but
now as prisoners, are subject TO the articles Of
war. These prisoners then viii be tried by
military commission. and the finding must be
reviewed and approved By the President.

How HUBER DISCOVERED THE MARAUD-
ING HABIT OF ANTs.-Hc was walking in
the environs of Geneva, between four and
five o'clock in the evening, when he saw a
regiment Of great red ants crossing the
road. They marched in good order. with
front of three or four inches, and i'm
column eight or ten feet long. Huber fol-
lowed them, crossed a hedge with them,
and found himself in meadow. The
high grass plainly hindered the march
of the army. yet il did not disband it

was the nest Of another species of ants,
blackish gray ones, whose hill rose in the
grass twenty steps from the hedge. A few
blackish gray ones were scattered about
the hill as soon as these perceived the
enemy, they darted upon the strangers,
while others hurry into the galleries TO give
the alarm. The besieged ants come out in
body. The assaliants dash upon them,
and, after very short but very spirited
struggle, drive the black gray ones back
to the bottom Of their holes. One army
corps presses after them into the galleries,
while other groups labor to make them
selves an opening with their teeth into the
lateral parts of the hill. They succeed, and
the remainder of the troop makes it way
into the besieged city by the breach. Peter

1t has got to be done. You can't help il,
and the question Is how can you avail

to talk of a woman being untitled to deal

family is governed by her. Her business
is to govern the household, and 1t is wisely
and well done. Man thinks that the wo-

CURIOUS ANTIPArHIEs.-It seems GER
tain that in some cases the dislikes TO par
ticular objects, and even sounds, which we
are wont TO ascrbe to atlcctation, are very
genuine and deep seated. A certain cler-
gyman, we are soberly informed, always
tainted when he heard a particular verse in
Jeremiah read and another case was even
still more unfortunate, being that of an
officer who could not stand the beating of a
drum, and eventually died of it. One man
would fall down at the smell of mutton, as
though deprived of life, another could not
eat single strawberry; and another 5
head became frightiully swollen if he
touched II particle Of hare. Oriiia speaks
of painter, named Vincent, who was
seized with vertigo whenever there were
roses In the room. Hippocrates instances
one Nicanor who sNooned whenever he
heard the flute. Boole himself, in spite OF
his philosophy, fell into syncope when
ever he heard the splashing Of water. The
Duke d'Epernay swooned at seeing a lev
eret, though hare took no effect upon
| him-which Is as much as TO say that he
was frightened at pony but not horse

ANCIENT TIMBER.-Probably the Oldest
timber in the world, which has been sub
iected to the use of man, is that which Is
found in the ancient temples Of Egypt. II
Is found in connection with stone work,
which Is known to be at least 1000 years
old. This wood, and the only wood used
in the construction Of the temple, is in the
form of tics, holding the end of one stone
TO another in its upper surface. When two
blocks were laid in place, then ii appears
that an excavation about an inch deep was
made in each block, into which an hour
glass shaped tie was driven. II is there
fore very difficult TO force any stouc from
its position. The ties seem TO have been
the tamarsk, or shittim wood, of which
the ark was constructed, a sacred tree in
ancient Egypt, aud now very rarely found
in the valley Of the Nile. These dovctailed
ties are just as sound now as on the day OF
their insertion. Although fuel is extremely
scarce in that country, these bits of wood
are not large enough to make il an object
with Arabs to heave off layer after layer of
heavy stone for so small prize. Had they
been of bronze, half the old temples would
have been destroyed ages ago, so precious
would they have been for various pur-
noses
