Remarkable Vitality of BiyaIyes.

A fresh water clam, according to
foreign scientific journal, was last year
shat up in a perfectly dry drawer jor
two hundred aud thirty-one days, and
then, being plunged into water, showed
signs of remarkable activity, This was
during voyage from Australia to Eng
land. On its arrival at Southampton,
four hundred and ninety-eight daysarter
leaving its native marsh, it was again
put into water, where it opened It's
valves and renewed It's former habits rs
mollusk. Recent experiments have
proved that other bivalves Will retain
life much longer than is generally sup
posed. NJ Hamon once left a basket
OF oysters at Nantes for seventeen con
secutive days during the hottest part OF
the summer, while he made a journey
elsewhere. His only precaution was
to make few missions in the basket
for the admission of air. Returning
he found the oysters IN as good condl-
ton as ever, though they had not been
near the water IN all that time. On
placing them IL bed at Coucale they

SHERIDANrS OPINION q.

The following dispatch from General
Sheridan to the secretary of war, gives
his opinion of existing affairs, and also
the course he would pursue in the
premises:
HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF
MISSOURI, NEW ORLEANS, Jan'y 3.
To The Hon. ". 4. BelEnap, Secretary Of Var,
Washington. d. c.:
think the terrorism now existing IN Lorisi-
ana Mississippi. and Arkansas could be entire
ly removed, and confidence and fair dealing
established, by the arrest and trial Of the ring
leaders of the armed White Leagues. If Con-
gress would pass bill declaring them ban
ditti they could be tried by military con-
mission. The leaders Of this banditti, who
murdered men here on the 14th of last Sep
TENDER, and also were recently at Vicksburg.
Mississippi, should in justice to law and order.
and the peace and prosperity of this southern
part of the country, be punished. 1t is posi-
bic that if the president would issue a procla-
nation declaring hem banditti, that further
action need not be taken except that which
would devolye upon me.

Pinkerton declared that Capt. Irving
divided with thieves, and have some in
stances of his own knowledge in which
the detectives had squarely denied
Identification of thieves. At the time
of the Wellsboro' bank robbery, num-
Der of men were arrested, and one Du-
senbury was sent down to see if he rec
ognized any of the captives. One man
in particular, named Marsh, was known
to be New York thief. Pinkerton had
seen him walking the streets of New
York with Dusenbury. The detective
preferred not to recognize him, and re
ported that he did not know one of the
men arrested. 1t is a well-known fact
that police officers are aware of rob
berries committed, and could if they so
desired, clean any city in the country of
thieves and gamblers III week. But
it would be pecuniary loss to do so
and they cannot become martyrs to com

A YOUNG man walked into an Indian
apolis drug store, the other day, and
called for fifty cents worth of strych-
nine. The clerk, suspecting his object,
gave him harmless dose Of g sugar of
