Odd Ants.

Upward of thousand different species
of ants have been described by entomolo-
gists, and yet it is by no means supposed
that the whole family have been enumera-
ted New species are from time to time
turning up in different parts of the world,
and, as they are all wonderfully intelligent,
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 DR.. Gideon Lincecum, of
Long Points, Tex, has been cultivating the
acquaintance Of a species Of sweet-scented
ants which live in his vicinity Each indi-
vidual ant seems to be a vial or vase ofpre-
cious perfumery, sweet as the altar ofroses
Crush it between the figures and it yields
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 odors they distill. Imagine a
bouquet of these sweet-scented ants i'm
palcd on separate pins and emitting deli
cious aromas with every eontortion. Scien-
lists are trying to prove that the lower or
ders of animals do not ache from stabs and
wounds, and they tell US that insects will
TRANQUILITY feed when transfxed with bod
kin therefore, we might refresh the dainty
sense of smell with 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 DIR. Lincecum
for the details Of wholesale slaughter OF
one tribe by another, which occurred un-
der his observation. \ colony of the small
est species of black ants, which dwelt in
his yard, discovered one day a quantity of
sirup that had been spilled ON the ground
and Immediately swarmed out and began
carrying it totheir 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 were about and begau to rifle them
on their way homeward The big black
butchers would seize the little fellows toll
ing alone 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 murde
ons operation. The bloody brig;lnds great
ly outnumbered their helpless victims, and
when the ruthless massacre was over, the
peaceful, populous colony was entirely ex
terminated. l. Chicago Tribune

MASKED BURGLARS WORK.
An Old Mans Hoardings of Years Stolen
The Victim Left Bound and Gagged.


For many years there has lived in Mon
roetown, Pa, an eccentric old man named
Isaac Castor He is shoemaker and
lives alone in little house in an out of the
way spot He is over sixty years old, and
for years has boarded his earnings, using
only enough money to procure the bare
necessities of life. His income has never
been large, but its accumulation for over a
quarter of century amounted to a sung lit
tie competency. He always carried several
hundred dollars in his pantaloon pockets,
which fact was generally known, and 1t has
been the standing wonder here for years
that he had never been robbed.
On Monday morning it was noticed
that the old shoemaker's shop was not
opened as usual, and that there was no stir
about the house. This was so remarkable
an occurrence that two or three citizens
went to his house and broke open the door.
They found Castor bound tightly in chair,
so that he could not use his hands or feet,
and handkerchief tied tightly over his
mouth He was hastily released, and as
soon as he could recover sufficiently from
his excitement and alarm he told substanti-
ally the follwing story:
About an hour before daylight he was
awakened by a man who stood by the side
of his bed. Castor sprang up, but was
stopped by the man, who put pistol to
his head and told him to be still or he
would blow his brains out. Another man,
with lantern, was going about the room
searching every hole and corner. The old
shoemaker at first thought the men were
negroes, but afterward discovered that they
were white men with blackened faces The
one man rifed the pockets of his pantaloons,
which contained nearly $500, but not be-
ing able to find money that they evidently
| believed was secreted about the room, the
robbers told the old man that he must tell
them where he hid his money or they
would kill him. Castor assured them that
he had no more money that his pantaloons
pockets contained all he had in the world,
and he begged them to leave him some of
that, as he was keeping it to pay his flu
neral expenses when he died The burg
lars, failing to force the old man into re-
vealing the whereabouts of the rest of his
probable treasure, and daylight being near,
made their victim get out of bed. They
then bound him to the chair and gagged
him, and took their departure. They had
effected an entrance into the house through
a back window. Castor said that he could
not be able to recognize the robbers. He
could not distinguish their features, and
their voices were strange to him. The
general impression is that they are parties
living in the neighborhood, as no strangers
have been seen about the place. There is
not the slightest suspicion, however, as to
who they may be. Castor says that the
robbers took every dollar he had in the
world.

How He Started Out.

Henry J. Raymond, member of Con-
gress, Lieutenant-Gover of the State of
New York, but better known as the found
er and the editor Of the New York Times,
was the son Of poor farmer At the age
of twenty he graduated at the University
of Vermont. His father wanted him to
90 to work on the farm. But young Ray
mond had no inclination for farming. He
felt if he could get start in New York
city, that he had the habits of industry and
the brains which would enable him to do
we'll
Moved by his sons earnestness, the
father raised three hundred dollars by
mortgaging the farm, and with that sum
the future journalist went to the city.
There he studied law, taught school, wrote
for the newspapers, and was the first per-
son, 1t is said, TO write regular letters from
New York to the country journals.
Horace Greeley about that time, started
the New York Tribune, and being acqain-
ted with Raymond, invited him to do his
writing in the Office. For some months he
wrote at his borrowed desk, when, reeeiv-
ing liberal offer to teach school in the
South he determined to accept it.
Thanking Mr.. Greeley for his many
courtesies, he informed him of his intended
departure.
81 don't think, said the kind-hearted
editor, who, like Raymond, was then
struggling for bread and position, there's
any particular use ofyour going way down
there, Henry You ought to do as we'll
here, New York's better place for you.
How much are you to get for teaching ?"
''Ten dollars week, and | can't earn
as much here.
90, well, you'd better stay Write for
the Tribune I'll give you eight dollars a
week"

The President and the Horse Dealer.

Among the enterprising citizens who
contributed to the ST. Louis State fair was
Mr.. Dillon, who is dealer in Norman
horses. Mr. Dillon has recently imported
a number of these animals from Europe,
and had ''six-in- hand" attached to pom
derous vehicle on the fair grounds. Driv-
ing around the course, the horse fancier
met old Sam Buckmaster, of Illinois, and
induced him to accept seat in the CARA
van. They drove several times around the
track, and were the observed of all obser-
vers but finally Mr.. Buckmaster, seeing
two gentlemen approaching, said "There
comes the President [ must get out and
meet him.
''The President y exclaimed Dillon
"why, that is just the man | want to see.
l wanted to get hold of man that is
good judge of horsehcsh. Which is the
President ?'
'The gentleman in dark clothes carry
ing the umbrella" replied Sam
Halo y cried Dillon to the stranger
"come here; want to see you"
The gentleman with the umbrella ap-
preached smilingly and shook Dillon by
the hand, supposing that he was some ac-
quaintance of other times.
"What do you think Of my team ~ said
Dillon.
"They do very well, said the man in
dark clothes.
Jump in and let me show you their
pace. Bring your friends along" shouted
Dillon, heartily.
"You must excuse ME. don't want to
be conspicuous" said the stranger
Conspicuous % remarked Dillon ''Get
in here and let me give you ride behind
these horses"
"No-no," cried he of the umbrella
Il must be going"
'Why don't you get in ? won't eat
you! p said the horse fancier.
At this the stranger and the friend
turned abruptly away, and were lost in the
crowd.
"Wen," exclaimed Dillon to Buckmas-
ter, who stood by dumbfounded, Just to
think that the president of a one-horse
Missouri fair refused to ride behind my
team. What a sop he must be
President of the fair p Buckmaster
shouted in amazement; don't you know
who that was ?"
No. replied Dillon ''you told me he
was the President"
so he is the President, rcjoined Buck
master, 'but not of the fair Why, sure
ly you knew him?
''I'll BE hanged if I did Dillon said
II was sure he was president of this fair "
"Oh, this is too much ~ cried Sam.
"Why, that was the President of the Uni
ted States !'
Dillon grew very red in the face,
and slowly gasped forth: 'Was-that-
Grant p
"Certainly, it was Gen. Grant"
Dillon caught up his reins, dropped his
whip and exclaimed, ooh?

The New York Evening Post has been
following up an investigation into the ulti-
mate end of the mail bags. 1t appears that
the New York Post Office makes month
ly requisition Of 5000 bags to supply the
place of those that have disappeared. AS
the contract price Of the canvas bags is 81
cents, this amounts to monthly loss by
carelessness or dishonesty of 81 $50, no
small figure, considering the character of
the material and the absolute want of fair
means of accounting for them. But the
authority we have quoted has ascertained
where some of them went. 1t seems that
Congressman are in the habit of filling
these bags with public documents and mail
ing them from Washington to their homes,
where they are left through carelessness or
Ignorance There is reason why Con-
