If the word of Theodore Parker, as given
by Boston medium, is to be depended upon,
the insects even will enjoy a happy hereafter.
The question was asked, ''Are all animals inn
mortal, or do they continue to exist after what
is called death? If SO, does the abundance
of insect life become a trouble there. g.,
mosquitoes, ants, grasshoppers, locusts, flies,
feas, etc.," The answer, protessedly by Par
ker, was this: The life of all things is immor-
tai, but forms are forever subject to the law OF
change, yours and mine being no exceptions.
These troublesome companions Of your hui
man life, rest assured, will trouble you no
more in the second degree of life, though in
many places you will find them there, even.
Under many conditions there they flourish
well, under others they cannot exist; but they
will be no longer an annoyance to you in the
other life.
The President is getting frightened. He
made a great mistake in the Louisiana bust
ness, and is just now beg ginning to appreciate
it. His order for the removal of the troops
from the Louisiana State Douse was men
toned in the dispatches the other day, but
not the method of it. The Citizens Com
mittee teiegraphed him of the success of the
Conservative ticket, of the general peace and
order which prevailed, and Of the injustice
done the people in longer continuin
the soldiers in the capital. No answer
was returned to this but a day
or two afterwards the astute occupant
Of the White House telegraphed to Gen.
Emory: "Have you any troops in the State
House at New Orleans?" To which Gen.
Emory replied that he had Remove them
Immediately was the quick dispatch which
next followed, and the troops were forthwith
removed This order will after while be
made officially public, and the responsibility
of keeping those soldiers there poor Gen.
Emory will be made to shoulder As if the
President didn't know all the time that their
guns had been stacked in the building since

Mr.. Bright has, in recent letter, expressed
his view on the question Of canvassing at
elections, which many people think ought to
be prevented by law. The member for Biz.

many ignorant and careless people, can
