E. Head, with squad of Federal troops
with fixed bayonets, acting. it is stated,
under orders from Gen Emory, to-day
entered the Sheriff's Office here land forci
bly, elected Sheriff Al. Flanagan, who
was in possession by virtue of the recent
election, about the validity of which there
is constitutional question. His right to
the office had not. however, been question:
ed by any legal proceedings. The mill.
tary appear to haveacte upon army Or
ders alone. eo
Major Head reported his action to
Chancellor Hill, who was holding Court
in an adjacent room, by whom the action
of the military was countenancel, and
seemingly approved. Sheriff Flanagan
also reported the facts to Chancellor Hill,
who appealed to the Court to protect him
in the discharge Of his duties, but was re
fused. The Chancellor appointed W. II
McGhee Sheriff pro tenn, and he was plac-
ed in possession of the Office by the mill
tary. McGheeis white Republican, ,and
was Deputy under Sheriff Crosby
Chancellor Hill upon the opening oil
Court two weeks ago, adjourned it until
to day in erder to determine what course
he would take Interference to the Sheriff
atty. Members of the Bar present pro

apparently approving military interfer
ence with its officers as violation of al

cared for most tenderly, and defended as
resolutely as the ants defend their own
young. Clearly the strongest of natural
instincts, appetite, is somehow restrained
in the case of these little keepers of asy-
lums for the blind. What is the restrain
ing influence?
Similar conduct on the part of tribe OF
men would be unhesitatingly attributed to
a rude sort of religious feeling; and Sir
John Lubbock wonders whether something
of the kind may not actuate these ants,
whether they do not regard their helpless
though relatively gigantic wards with a
feeling akin to reverence. Is it possible
that they have arrived at stage of devel-
opment parallel nth that of the beetle-wor-
shipping Egyptians?
In our pride of bulk, we despite the ants
for their lttleness. But suppose they were
as big as horses, proportionately strong for
their size, as thoroughly organized and as
intelligent as they now are, where would we

prodigious that they are reckoned as equiv

Indeed, so powerful is the out-rush of gas
that it will lift the boring implement in the

Chancellor, who was honored with pen
sion in 1851 of $4,000 per annum, for judi
cial services had drawn e110,0O0 there
under up to the time of his decease at the
good old age Of ninety-six.
The heirs of the Duke of Schomberg,
who was killed at the battle of the Boyne
in 1890, have been drawing GO, 100 per an
mum ever since from the British Treasury.
Lord Seaton, for his military services,
retired in 1910 on pension of $4,000, and
has pocketed the very handsome sum of
$3.50, since.
The Viscount Stratford dc Roddecliffe is
paid 81, 1856 for diplomatic services render
ed more than half century ago, by virtue
of which he has been able to draw in all
the sum of e116,0OO.
The present living representative of the
Duke of Wellington receives $4,000 per
annum from the Treasury, while there has
just died a reverend sinecurist named
Thomas Thurlow, a nephew of Lord Chan
cellor Thurlow, who inherited the fat fees
of three sinecures from his illustrous uncle,
and without lifting a finger, pocketed dur
ing his long life $4,000 year. The
amount paid out of the taxatron of the
people under this single sinecure since 1925
has been the enormous sum of e43O, 900, or
$3.50, 900. Fortunately for the patience
of the long-suffering British people, this
reverend gentleman leaves no successor, so
that the pension is not entailed.
The total number of pensioners and sin
ecurists, outside of military and naval pen
sioners, embraces the names of upwards of
two thousand individuals, male and female.
The cost to the British people it is impossi-
BILE to ascertain precisely, but it largely ex-
ceeds 100000 year, not paid for the
necessary expenses of the government, but
mainly as naked sinecures OF outright gifts
to the heirs Of persons who have rendered
real or supposed service to the nation.
