DR.. Charles Darwin in this book gives
up theorizing and resumes his plsce as
observer and recorder Of Nature phe.
nomena. Here he is unrivaled. In lu-
cidity and charm OF style the present
volume recalls his ever-fresh Voyage of
the Beagle The insect-catlng plants
nave been made the subject Of scientific
essays by eminent naturalists of Europe,
out never before have they been so fully
and intellgently considered as here
The common type of these curious OBJ
lects is the sun dew" of the fields
The leaves are covered with large drops
Of viscid secretion, which, glittering in
the sun, give to the plant its name. on
these leaves dead or dying insects will
usually be found. Inspection discloses
that they are caught by the thick, sticky
fluid, and are fun ther held down by lit
tie tilaments or tentaclcs which cover
the surface of the leaves. The smaller
insects are the most numerous victims,
nut sometimes butterflies and dragon
flies are cntrapped. 1t was formerly
supposed that these fatalities were pure
accidents. But the nGturdlists proved
oeyond doubt the destructive design
Of the sun dew The insect lights on
the leaf to sip the fluid which looks IN
viting and perhaps tempts hy it, odor
The moment he touches the leaf the sc-
cret.on is stimulated and while he TASTE :
it treacherously surrounds and envcleps
him. As he beats his wings in the effort
20 fly, they too are caught and held. Al
the same time the slender tentacles
slowly close over him and fasten him
down. In about fifteen minutes lie is
smothered or crushed to death DR.
Darwin has found as many as thirteer
dead insects on single leaf The OBJ
Iect of this terrible apparatus is to fur
nish the plant with heterogeneous food
1t absorbs nutriment from the remain,
of insects, instead of taking its life from
the ground. This serves to explain WIN
the 'sun dew" can flourish in poor, pea
ty soil, where nothing but moss can live
the latter depending mainly upon tn,
atmosphere for its nourishment. Bit
OF glass, cork, wool. hair, paper and 9th
er substances not nutritious being plac
ed on the leaves, excite no action of tn,
tentacles; but they respond at cnce t
the touch Of raw or cooked meat. frag
ments of eggs and insects of all descrip
tions. DIR. Darwin made a multitude O
experiments on what may be called tn,
habits of this wonderful plant, and hi
book is its complete history. Abou
twenty varieties of these insect-eater
are known to naturalists. The autho
examines them all in turn, and point
out their special fitness for different 10
calities and climate conditions. Apple

REstMprIoN OF SPECiR PAYMENTS.
Senator Sherman is said to have told q
reporter of the Cincinnati Commercial
recently that he had no doubt the
Senate would defeat any measure re-
pealing the act which does not contain
substantially provision for resump-
lion at as an early day as sthat named.
lie says an objection to the present
.aw is its failure to point out special
way to resumption, but it gives power
enough to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, if he is seriously intent upon
carrying it into effect. "With Bristow
as Secretary of the Treasury specie
payment at the time prescribed would
be as certain as fate"
This may be very comfortable
view for Senator Sherman, but it will
puzzle him very much when he re-
sumes his seat in the Senate to furnish
reasons sufficiently strong to make the
people believe resumption, however
much desired, can be effected in 1879

WHAT Is MALARIAs-There has been
great deal said in the discussion of
tho American Health Association on
the subject of malaria, which seems to
be considered and no doubt is a profile

heir to. But we should like to be en-
lightened upon the subject of what
malaria is. The term is used to desig.
nate certain effluvium or emanation
from marshy ground but the poison j,
not cognizable by the senses, nor can
it be detected by chemical tests. The
effects of the subtle poison are obvious
enough, but what is it composed off,

Political Notes

Mr.. r. II. Marr is said to be the man
whom the Louisiana Legislature is like
ly TO send to the United States Senate in
place of Pinchback. 1T would be diff
cult to makea better choice.
The latest gossip on the question o.
Speakership puts down ex-Gov. Walker
as a comprimise candidate between the
Kerr and Randall factions. 1t is doubt
full, however, if the proposition has exist
ence outside of the minds of imaginative
Washington correspondents.
Should the Presidential election he
thrown Into the House of Representa-
tives, a contingency by no means I'M
probable, the majority will be with the
Democrats, as Only twenty States are
required to elect. Twenty States
now constitute the Democratic phalanx.
The Democratic majority in the House
will be eighty -four, or nearly two
thirds.
The New York Times, Tribune and Sun
are dead opposed to third term; so Is
the Springfield Republican, The Chicago
TribuAe repudiates it with scorn and the
Cincinnati Commercial feed from 1t Is
from spectre, but Grant marches stead
ily ON towards the desired goal, and will
keep marching on till he reaches the
nomination Then the Democrats and
Independents propose to move upon his
works.
The Philadelphia Chronicle says: Mis-
sissi .,pi has turned up all right, as We
long since predicted she would. The
negroes have at length tIthomed the
length and breadth, the heighth and
depth of carpet -bagging and scalawag-
ism. and have learned to know that the
Conservative men of the South are their
best friends, The Radicals are now
without u single Southern State upon
which to rely.
The Christian Union thus discourses
upon the recent result in New York.
"The Republican victories IN the States
where the Democratic party stood OIL
the platform of initiation give us unal.
loyed pleasure and pride; bat We confess
that it is no. pleasant to reflect that the
Republicans in the Empire State owe
their majority in the Legislature to the
aid of the Canal Ring and alliance with
a school of Democrats led by "a notorious
gambler, and hating Tammany Hall only
because 1t is trying to deliver its party
from the disreputable associations Of the
past. f the Republican party does not
suffer deterioration from such un ALI
ance, it may well be inferred that, il
politics, evil communications do not
corrupt god IN tnners."
