Insect Antipathies.

Some OF Darwin's studies in natural
history have been well calculated to fill
hin with doubts about the supposed i'm
mense difference between hnman reason
and brute instinct. He has asccrtained,
for instance, that an ant in an ant-hill
knows his companions. He carried ants
several times from one ant-bill to an
other, inhabited apparently by tens of
thousands of ss.s bat the strangers
Thinking theremigllt be family odor
by which they were recognized, he put
some ants from "a very large nest into a
bottle strongly perfumed with assafG-
tida, and restored them after twenty
four hours. At first they were threat
ened by their companions, but we're soon
recognized and allowed to pass.

these only fourteen can be regarded as
really effective for service at the present

be counted upon as good for more than

southern states: '.While IN an apotheea-

There could scarcely be greater indi-
rect complaintof the growing influence and
power of the press in this country than the
bill which was rushed through the Senate
last week, engineered by Matt Carpenter
and Coukling. The bill amounts to this,
that suit for SANDER or libel against a
newspaper may bc'broughtiu the United
States Court 10 any place where the news
paper has an agent or correspondent. 10
point Of fact, the principal newspapers
have correspondents everywhere. aud it is
quite possible for New York publisher,
under this bill, to be taken to California Or
Texas to defend vexatious prosecution 10.
s,ituted by plaintiff who lives in the next
street. The chief object Of the bill how.
ever is evidently to enable members Of
Congress to sue their critics 10 Washington
courts; and what chance the defendants
wonll have before Washington jury our
rcdders,can easily imagine.

posing Buffers parliamentary swindlc BY
which bill was slipped through the House
Of Representatives last week, taking away
Circuit Court powers from the District
Judges of the Fourth Judicial District
The bill was intended to restrain such
Judges as Hughes Of Virginia, Jackson
Of West Virginia and Giles Of Maryland
from the exercise Of powers which Butler
thought might be used to promote the cnds
Of Justice rather than bis own political
schemes. Butler reported the bill as CON-
ing from the judiciary Committee without
aulhority-the Committee never having
approved. The trick was exposed, how
ever, and the Senate requested to return
the bill which was done 1t is asserted
Judge Bond was accessory to the swludle.
