Language of Insects and Animals.

Our notice was lately attracted to the
labors of a colony of small black ants,
which has taken up its abode in a chink
in the wall outside our Office window A
solitary ant, evidently on private for
aging expedition, suddenly encountered
scrap of bread, which had fallen on the
sill several feet from his home. Instead
of nipping off fragment and carrying it
away, the insect apparently made care
full examination of the entire piece and
then turned and ran at full speed back
to the hole. In an instant hundreds of
ants emerged and marched directly to
the bread, which they attacked, and very
speedily, morsel by morsel, transported
it to their dwelling.
Another good instance is that of ter
rier dog belonging to a friend, from
whom we obtained the facts. The ami
NAL somehow, it seems, excited the ire
of a larger dog, and accordingly received
an unmerciful shaking. Shortly after
ward the terrier was seen in close consul
tation with huge Newfoundland. The
result'was that both trotted off together
and found the terriers assailant, which
then and there received furious thrash
ing from the Newfoundland, while the
terrier stood by and wagged his tail in
high glee.
The last case which came under our
own observation was that of brood OF
very young chickens which, losing their
parent. refused to go with another hen
but manifested an extraordinary affec-
tion for pair of turkeys almost as juve-
nile as themselves. The turkeys have
assumed all the parental functions,
scratching worms for their charges, and
gathering them under their wings, while
the chickens appear to comprehend the
significance of the turkeys peep" equal
ly as well as they did the clucking of
their natural mother.
In the case of the ants, it is clear that |
the single insect must have impaired the |
news of his discovery to an entire COM
munity of his fellows; in that of the dogs, |
the terrier must have made the New
foundland understand the circumstances |
OF his misfortune and so secured sympa- |
thy and assistance; lastly, between the !
chickens and turkeys apart from the |
of the relation, it is curious
to remark that the language of one fowl |
was understood by others of different |
Species american.

The Owl.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.

The most wonderphull thing about an
owl iz, the sollum importance of the
whole kritter, az he sets on his perch,
looking over the world that he seems to
own.
Next to newly elekted Justiss of the
Peace, seated on the bench, with poor
cuss before him, charged with stealing
loaf ov bread, the owl has more rare and
unfathomable wisdum in hiz face than
emmy thing ancient or modern.

stiddy. until was ashamed ov my impu-
dense, to see if they winkt, and never
see them do it.
would thank sum one to tell me if an
owl ever duz wink, and if he duz, how
often.
This would be good subjekt for some
debating society in emmy of our colleges.
Answers to this phenomena, post paid,
are respectfully solicited.
The owl bids his nest in sum vakant
hollow of tree, and lays how menny
eggs kant tell, but sumwhare less than
hundred, am sure.
This stands to reazon, and reazon sell
dunn lies
Owls are not luvly to eat, no matter
how you fry them, they resemble in tia-
vor the meat of yeller dog, if emmy
knows how that tastes.
I dent.
I have shot owls, it is a good deal like
shooting into a feather pillow, they are
full feathered from their toe males klean
up to the base ov their bills, and when
the feathers are pikt oph from them,
they shrink as bad az sum other things
know ov, with the cotton all taken out.
Owls are plenty. but 1 don't know as
thatris emmy thing in their favor.

BABY TYRANTs.-Here is picture true
to life, from the Oneida Crrcular When
will mothers learn how to train their
babies?
"a traveller from Oneida has often a
story to tell on his return home. On his
last trip there was a handsome, we'll
dressed young woman in the cars who
had in her arms an infant not old enough
to walk, but quite old enough to be a
tyrant. The little fellow had the COM
plete mastery of his mother and exer
cised his tyranny continually. He made
her walk the car with him until she
looked as though she would drop to the
floor with fatigue; but if she stopped for
a moment he would scream and throw
himself about until she started on again.
The poor mother looked so pale and
worn that it was pitiful to see her She
had no idea whatever of controlling him;
she would threaten to punish him in va
rious ways; but she didn't do it, and the
child knew she wouldn't. If our traveller
had felt a little bolder, he would have
offered to take the boy and subdue a
little of the irrepressibleness' which was
making such an abiect slave of his moth
er; but he modestly forehore."
Oh, that mothers were more sensible
oh, that they could know how to govern
themselves-and their babies 1t would
be so easy. Then it would be so much
better for baby Oh, the misery of igno-
rancei

Mr.. Dickens told story of a young
lady who, being intensely loved by five
Young men was advised to jump over

the five lovers being on deck, and look

she plunged into the sea head-foremost:

Il; The Neao National Era is one of our
most valued exchanges. 1t was estab.
fshed by the celebrated Frederick Doug
lass. and is now edited by one of his sons.
We take the following cutting and
truthful articles from the Era:
1t appears to be the purpose of malig-
nant rebels in Louisiana and Mississippi
to create an impression that colored men
are intending retaliation. in kind, for the
forced miscegenation by white men in
the South This is the last resort to
give strength to prejudice against the
negro and to secure the sympathy of the
North. The New York San is an, ally of
that class in the South, who having out
ragged the defenceless colored women in
the days of slavery, pretend to fear retail
iation in the days of freedom.
Some of the Mississippi editors are in
a boiling rage over the fact that a white
young lady has married half white man.
Whether the gentleman's father or moth
er was white we cannot learn, we how
ever, lean to the opinion that it was his
father. Now, there is a moral to be
found in the fact that the man is half
white. The enraged editors of the South
will do well to study it out and reflect
seriously upon it. Remember that the
parties causing the excitement are legally
and decently married. ....-....
