the same as on flies ! had now arrived at
something definite; they woro not the
progeny of the ny, but animalcules float
ing in the air, and the quick motions OF
the flies gathered them on their bodies,
and the flies then went into some quiet
corner to have their dainty meal"
The investigator goes on to describe how
he continued the experiment in variety
of localities, and how, in dirty and bad
smelling quarters, he found the myriads OF
flies which existed there literally covered
with animalcules, while other flies, cap
tured in bed rooms or well ventilated,
clean apartments, were miserably lean and
entirely free from their prey. Wherever
filth existed, evolving germs which might
generate disease, there were the flies, COW
ering themselves with the minute organ
isms and greedily devouring The same.
Mr.. Emerson, while thus proving tho
utility of the fly, has added another and
lower link to that curious and necessary
chain of destruction which exists in api-
mated nature. These infinitesimal animal
cules form food for the flies, the flies for
the spiders, the spiders for the birds, the
birds for the quadrupeds, and SO on up to
the last Of the series, serving the same pur-
pose to man. lie certainly deserves credit
for an interesting and novel investigation,
and for an intelligent discernment which
might even attack the more difficult task
of teaching us the uses-for Nature makes
nothing without some beneficial end-of
the animalcules themselves.

Terrible Combat with Rats.

The Carlisle (Pa) Herald relates the fol-
lowing: "Mr. Jesse Laverty, of East Penn
sylvania, was lately much annoyed by rats,
which carried off his eggs, and made sad
work with his corn in his crib and then in
vaded his granary and commenced destroy
ing a bin of wheat. On examination he
found that there was but one place where
they got in. He thereupon resolved to kill
the rats by an artifice well worthy of the
cause. He strewed corn meal literally on
the floor of the granary, and about one
hour later he nailed up the hole. Then
calling his dog "a Spanish terrier and arm
ing himself with a club, he went forth to
battle.
"Now the door to the granary is fastened
with long wooden latch extending clear
across it, and can only be opened from the
outside, and Mr.. L., on entering the gran
ary, drew the door shut and heard the
latch fall. He then thought the enemy
was his, but this was an error. The rats
were more numerous than he expected,
and finding no way of escape, thoy at
tackled both him and his dog with great fu-
ry. Mr.. l.. laid on his blows hard and
fast, and one blow aimed at a rat, unfortu-
nately hit the dog on the head and killed
him.
"Being thus deprived of his faithful ally
he would have fled, but could not and he
then commenced calling for help. The rats
meanwhile kept skirmishing around his
legs, ran up his body, bit his hands, and
one bolder than the rest bit his nose. Ii is
impossible to say what the result of this
unequal contest would have been had not
apassing neighbor, attracted by the noise
and cries, gone TO the relief When rescued
lie presented a shocking spectacle, his
face and hands bloody, and his clothes torn
into shreds.
"When his wounds were cared FOR he hit
on better plan of warfare. Borrowing
twelve cats, which, with his own, made
fifteen, he in the evening shut them up in
the granary with the rats, and the next
morning he found, on examination, ten
dead cats, one blind, and two with one eve
apiece. The remaining two were unhurt,
and by actual count found one hundred
and nineteen dead rats. OF the dead dog
there was nothing lett but the bones and
hair, the rats doubtless having eaten him
while Mr.. Laverty was hunting cats"

WASHING OUT THE SToMACH,-Dr,
Ewald of Berlin has been very successful
with the process some time since devised
by him for washing out the human stom-
ach. For this purpose piece of ordinary
india-rubber tubing. such as is used for
gas lamps, and about six feet long, is en-
ployed one end is rounded with scissors,
and, if necessary, two holes are cut at
short distance from the end. This tube is
found TO possess quite sufficient rigidity TO
be passed without difficulty into the stom-
ach. To the outer end a funnel is fitted, in
to which can be poured either water or
solution of soda, etc., according to circum-
stances. If the contents of the stomach
are to be removed, the outer end of the
tube must be sunk TO the level OF the pubes,
or even lower; then the patient must make
short but fOrcible contraction of the alb
dominal walls. By this means the tube is
filled to its highest point with the fluid con-
tents of the stomach, and becomes siphon,
the liquid continuing to flow until there is
no more, or until the tubed is stopped up.
This last seldom occurs, if the tube he of
moderate calbre. Should it, however,
happen, or should the abdominal pressure
be sufficient TO fill the tube in the first in
stance, or the patient be insensible, or any
similar difficulty arise, it can in general be
readily overcome by fitting a common ely
ster syringe to the end of the tube, one
stroke of the piston of which usually rem
dies the difficulty.

THE ORDER OF HATURE.-Prof Ad.
Wurtz, in his address as President of the
French Association, referred as follows to
the ultimate questions of science: "With
regard to matter, 1t is ever and everywhere
the same, and the hydrogen of our earths
water we trace in our sun, in Sirius, and in
those nebul@ which are still Uniformed
worlds. Everywhere Is motion, too and
motion, which appears inseparable from
atoms which constitute matter, is the ORR
gin of all physical and chemical force.
Such is the order of Nature and the deep
er Science searches into her mysteries, the
more clearly it evolves the simplicity of
the means used, and the infinite diversity
of results. Thus, from under Il edge of
the veil which we are enabled TO lit, a
glimpse Is revealed tO us of the harmonious
plan of the universe. As for primary causes,
they remain beyond the ken of mans mind ;
they lie within another domain which
mans intellect will ever strive to enter and
search. So is man constituted, and such he
will forever continue. In vain does science
reveal to him the physical structure of the
universe and the order of its phenomena
he will strive onward and upward in his
innate instructive conviction that things
have not within themselves their sufficient
cause, their foundation and origin; he is
gradually led to subordinate them to a pri-
mary cause, a unique and universal God.'

AN OnLIGINd HOTEL GUEsT.-The other
evening a kind-looking old man was es-
corted to a room on the third floor of ho-
tel to pass the night, and it wasn't i've min
utes before the bell indicated that he want
ed to see a waiter. A colored boy ran up,
stuck his head into the room and ask ed
what was wanted. The old man said he
didn't want anything, but the waiter was
hardly down stairs before the bell rang
again.
"Did you want nuflin?" inquired he, as
he reached the room again.
"Nothing," replied the old man, as he
opened the door.
In about two minutes his bell rang again,
and this time the waiter exclaimed:

Who Would Love a world Like This
Strike the sad and mournful measure,
Danish every thought of mirth;
Lasting Joy and constant pleasure
Never can be found ON earth,
Every hope Ia false and feeting,
Transient every earthly bliss,
Joy and grief are ever meeting,
Who would love a world like this?
As the sky 30 clear at morning
Is ere noon with clouds o'ercAst
Flow'rets bright, the fields adorning
Are the FIRST to feel the blast,
So the loveliest, gontest, purest,
Death relentless claims as his;
Fail our hopes when seem they surest-
Who would love a world like this?
Ties are formed but to be broken,
Love enkindled to decay;
Like the flower in friendships token,
Zen affection fades away.
Friends beloved, alas, deceive us,
OFT betfay us with kiss,
In the hour Of sorrow leave us
Who would love a world like this7

II to wish and to have were one, my dear,
You would be sitting now
with not a care in your tender heart,
Not wrinkle upon your brow;
The clock Of time would go back with you
All the years you have been my wife,
Till its golden hands have pointed out
The happlest hour Of your life;
II would stop then at that immortal hour;
The clock should no longer run;
You could not be sad and sick and old,
II to wish and to have were one.
You arc not here in the winter, my love,
The snow is not whirling down;
You arc In the heart Of the summer woods,
In your dear old seaside town;
A patter Of little feet in the leaves,
beautiful boy at your side;
He is gathering flowers in the shady nooks--
It was but dream that he died
Keep hold Of his hand, and sing to him;
No mother under the sun
Has such seraphic child as yours
II TO wish and to have are one.
Methinks am with you there, dear wife,
In that old house by the sea-
have flown 10 you as the bluebird flies
To his mate in the poplar tree.
A sailors hammock hangs at the door,
You swing in IL, book in hand;
boat is standing in for the beach,
Its keel now CRATES on the sand;
Your brothers are coming-two manly men,
Whose lives have only begun;
Their days will be long in the land, dear heart,

would not be old and poor
But young and prosperous gentleman,
With never dun at the door;
There would be no past to bewail my love,
There would be no future to dread;
Your brothers would be live men again,
And my boy would not be dead.
Perhaps il will all come right at last;
II may be, when all is done,
We shall be together in some good world
Where TO wish aud to have are one.

From the New York Tribune, Saturday, April 3.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr.. Beech
er is the most deliberate of all the witnesses
thus far called, he is also the most animat-
ed, except Miss Turner. In his manner of
reclting the facts relative to which he is
called to testify, he is involuntarily an ac-
tor. His accompanying gestures do not
merely grace his speech, but illustrate his
meaning. When he quotes the precise
language of any person with whom he has
conversed, he not only initiates the voice,
but he reproduces the gestures, and even
the air and bearing of the speaker. So nat
ural Is this habit that he not only initiated,
yesterday, the voice, and illustrated the
manner of Mr., Tilton, but when he came
TO describe the scene with Mrs Tilton on
December 80, 1879, when she made the re-
traction of the charge of improper pro-
posals, his voice changed 10 the appealing
tones of weak and almost dying woman.
He even threw back the head, closed his
eyes, and folded mis- hands over his breast,
as he described the position occupied by
Mrs. Tllton. In detailing the conversation
with Mr.. Tilton on the same evening, Mr..

Tilton had produced as containing a copy
OF the charge of improper proposals, and,
as he went on describing Mr.. Tilton in the
act OF tearing the paper to pieces, III
Beecher mechanically tore nis slip into
fragments and threw them upon the floor
az tue ieet O. me foreman of the jury. Dur
inR tIe relation OF the scene with Mrs.
/ Iilton, Mr.. Beecher being called upon To
repeat the conversation with her, became
visibiy affected and his voice was choked
| with emotion.
The majority OF the incidents, yesterday.
| were OF a serious character. Very few OF
the strong expressions, usually designated
| as "Beecherisms" when proceeding from
him, cropped out. Once, when asked the
topics upon which he and Mrs. Tllton gem
| orally discoursed, he enumerated books.
pictures, the condition of the church, bethel
schemes and charities, and added "Aboye
all, of Theodore Tilton." Describing the
| delivery Of Mr.. Tilton's letter by Mr..
Bowen, Mr.. Beecher had declared that he
was ignorent of its contents, and said: "I
| handed 1t to him TO read" "Did he read
| ltr" asked Mr.. Evarts. "He did," was
the answer, and then the witness added In
an undertone; "No doubt with surprise"
These characteristics OF Mr.. Beecher are
general. They are observable throughout
his entire testimony, ranging from lively
to severe, as the testimony changes from
minor TO grave matters.
His manner of narrating the more excit-
ing scenes and important events gave rise
to several striking incidents. The most
dramatic scene OF the morning session was
Mr.. Beecher's solemn assertion of his in
nocence of any and all of the charges
brought against him from time to time by
Mr.. Tilton. Mr.. Evarts led him by slow
degrees TO the eliminating point, and the
