A NATTER FoR The PUBLIC.

The success of the thieves in South
Carolina and Louisiana as well as else
where, and their hold on the ignorant
masses whom we have enfranchised, are
mainly due to the fact that our marshals,
and collectors, and surveyors, and post
masters are their confederates, and keep
them assured of the support of the au-
thorities at Washington in case the worst
comes to the, worst, This ought to come
to an end but it will not come to an end
unless the public takes the matter in
hand There is enough stolid and selfish
insensibility at the White House, and
enough lazy indifference in Congress, to
stand o dozen such broils as this in Louis
lana with perfect equanimity. The Pres
ident is probably glad he has not had to
kin people or lombard an American city
in order to reinstate kellogg, but he is
probably not sorry he put him in power
in the beginning, and does not care how
long he stays in it-[The Nation.

Religious and Educational.

The Baptists throughout the United
States are engaged in an effort to raise an
educational fund as commemoration of
the centennial of their national existence.
The Congregationaltst mentions the
names of Rev. Drs. Duryea, Scudder,
Talmage, Storrs, Tying, ST., and Tying,
Jr, as preachers who are seldom seen
with scrap of paper before them while
preaching.
in the Chicago district the Method
lists have dedicated twelve new churches
during the year, affording 5000 sittings.
There is net gain of about 700 members
The benevolent collections have increased
about so per cent.

DIR. Williams Congregational Church
in Maiden, Mass, and DIR. Denner's

usage is not uncommon in many of the
congregations of that denomination, and
is being practiced in some Of the Meth
odist churches.

health. He then carried the policy to a
second Office and on the strength of it
got another $4,000. and thus kept on
repeating the operation until his policies
reached the sum of 100000. His wife
died the following February, and, rather
than incur the displeasure OF man of
his power and influence, the companies
paid the amount without any protest.
He then set about him for another spec
ulation and finding wealthy woman
many years his junior he laid siege to
her and married her. Her relatives be-
fore the marriage had demanded that he
should settle certain property upon her,
which he did, taking the precaution,
however, to mortgage it for nearly all it
was worth. When the trick was discov-
cred she left him, but meanwhile he had
made 100000 out of her. His third
speculation in wives netted him $250, 900,
so that out of the three wives he has
cleared $450000 and even now he is not
satisfied. In the light of such develop
ments as these woman becomes more
precious than ever. In addition to her
social value her financial value becomes
greatly enhanced. She Is perfect

Gently built ships of the British navy,

-England's marriage statistics have
been analysed to show the probabilities
of marriage for women at different ages.
Surprising the sum of woman's chances
of marriage to be 100, she exhausts be-
tween the ages of fifteen and twenty
years fourteen and half chances. Ii
she lives unmarried from twenty to
twenty-five, fifty-two more of her
chances have vanished into thin air
If she remains unmarried for five more
years she will turn thirty with only fif-
teen and half chances out of her hun
dred left. After thirty-five she has
eleven and half chances, and at this
point the statistician gave up his calcu-
lation, except that he assures us that
even after woman has lived unmarried
for sixty years she still has the tenth of
a chance of getting married out of the
hundred with which she is supposed to
have started life.

Odd Ants.

UPWARD of a thousand different spe-
cies of ants have been described by ento-
mologists, and yet 1t is by no means sup
posed that the whole family have been
enumerated. New species are from
time TO time turning up in different parts
of the world, and, as they are all won
derfully int lligent, and addicted to the
strangest habits, we may expect to be
entertained with new and curious stories
about the race as long as life shall last.
DIR. Gideon Lincecum, Of Long Point,
Tex, has been cultivating the acquaint-
ance Of species of sweet-scented ants
which live in his vicinity. Each individ-
ual ant seems TO be vial or vase Of pre-
cious perfumery, sweet as the altar of
roses. Crush 1t between the fingers and
il yields a fragrance OF exquisite quality.
These ants are extremely scarce, but no
doubt the day will come when they will
be cultivated, as the Orientals cultivate
gardens of roses, for the rare doors they
distill. Imagine q bouquet of these
sweetscented ants impaled on separate
pins and emitting delicate and delicious
aromas with every contortion. Scien-
lists are trying to prove that the lower
orders of animals do not ache from stabs
and wounds, and they tell us that insects
will TRANQUILITY feed when transfixed with
bodkin therefore, we might refresh
the dainty sense of smell with a nosegay
of bleeding and quivering ants without
suffering any twinges Of conscience.
But this treatment of the ants would
be no worse than that which the various
species unscrupulously accord to each
other. We are indebted again to Dr.
Lncecum for the details of a wholesale
slaughter of one tribe by another, which
occurred under his observation. A col
ony of the smallest species of black
ants, which dwelt in his yard, discovered
one day quantity of sirup that had
been spilled on the ground and imme-
diately swarmed out and began carrying
it TO their magazine. The vessel in
which they transported it was the little
sack in the abdomen. But they had not
long been engaged in the work before a
larger species of black ants learned what
they we're about and began TO rifle them
on their way homeward. The big black
butchers would seize the little fellows
toiling along under their burdens, and,
biting open their abdomen, draw out the
full sacks and swallow them. Then,
casting aside the mutilated carcass, each
would seize upon another and repeat the
murderous operation. The bloody brig
ands greatly outnumbered their helpless
victims, and, when the ruthless massacre
was over, the peaceful, populous colony
was entirely cxterminated.--Chtcago Trio

fourteen years of age, named Alice
Slack, at village near that city. John

the forenoon, leaving the girl and baby
in the house. The girl was going into
the yard for rug when the man, who
was lying under the window, sprang into
the house, seized her by the throat and
swore he would murder her If she did
not tell where the money was. She re-
fused, and he pushed her down the eel
lar-steps and threw a chair after her.
She got up and found he was going up
stairs. She screamed and went up after
him and pulled him down by his jacket.

her against the lobby wall and kicked
her severely. She screamed and
struggled hard, and at last he pitched
her into the parlor, shut the door and
left the house, having obtained nothing.
On the previous Friday the same man
came to the house with a big bulldog
and said that Mrs. Wallwork, who had
Just gone out, had sent him TO get his tea
at the house. The girl then shut the
door In his face.
