Wonders Of Animal Life.

Animals have trades and occupa-
tions. and when not living by their
own respectable efforts, are parasites
or dependents. Among the working
classes are miners, masons, carpen-
tiers. paper manufacturers, and weav-
ers, iace-makers even, al! working
FIRST for themselves, and next to
propagate their kind. The miners
generally dig into the earth, form
natural arches and supports, remove
the useless soll-snch as the mole,
the chnchilla, of Peru, the badger,
the lion ant, as we'll as certain worms
and molluses. The masons build huts
and palaces according to all the rules
Of architecture, as the bees and tropi-
cal ants; there are fish that construct
boats that the waves never upset,
aud Agassiz has drawn attention to n
fish which builds its nest on the float
ing seaweed in the middle of the
ocean, and deposits therein her eggs.
The wasps of South America fabri-
cate sort Of paper or pasteboard.
Spiders are weavers as we'll as lace
makers; one species construct a
diving bell, palace of lace. When
the astronomer has need of the most
delicate thread for his telescope he
applies to tiny spider. When the
naturalist desires to test bis micro
scope, he selects certain sheii OF a
sea insect, so small that several mil
lions OF them in water would not be
visible to the naked eye, and yet no
microscope has yet been made sufli-
ciently powerful to reveal the beauti-
full variegsted designs on the auto
matte shells. As for the parasites,
they, too, have their uses. A variety
of plover enters the crocodle's mouth,
picks the remnants Of food off the
animals tongue, and from between
its teeth. The living toothpick is
necessary, as the tongue of the croco-
dile is no, mobile. The Mexican owl
when enjoying siesta, puts itself
under the guard of kind of rat that

danger. Parasites are everywhere,
depend on no peculiar condition of
the body and are as abundant in
persons of the most robust as of the
most delicate health. They are at
home in the muscles, in the heart, in
the ventricles of the brain, in the ball
Of the eye. They are generally
either in the form of leaf or a rib
bon, and are not necessarily, as was
| once supposed, confined to specified
| animal. The parasites Of fish have
been detected living in the intestines
Of birds; and there are some that, for
the purpose of development, mus,
pass into the economy of q second
animal. Thus, in the grand drams

lowest created organism, there IT.

On the lst of July next the rate
charged for postal money-orders for
sums less than so will be increased
from 5 to 10 cents. The postmaster
general was induced 10 recommend
this increase to Congress by the fact
that the money-order department has
not been a self-sustaining business
during the past fiscal year, a de6cien-
cy having been created during that
time of upwards Of 100000. 1t has
been determined that nine-tenths of
all orders issued are for sums less
than so, and that the actual cost Of
issuing an order is triae more than
Z cents. The government has there
fore wisely determined to incre ase its
rates SO as to leave fair margin for
profits.

Father hcKiniry in the Pulpit.

In ST. Johns church the Lenteu sermons are
delivered by Father McKiniry, Of the Society
of Jesus, and Father Neithart, of the RedemD
torist Order. Tue mere assertion of this fact
is the same as to affirm that the discourse to
which the congregation is treated upon each
respective occasion is a source of doubt-dis
pelling light, captivating conviction, and
never failing intellectual enjoyment
1t was our pleasure to visit the church on
the Eve of st. Patrick's festival aud our re.
ward to hear Father McK,uiry preach.
On a text from the life of the Saint rested
the theme of the preacher. a subject 80 H.

earnestness, that they could have been troddcn

thus giving scores of honored patrons to Italy,
Germany, France, Belgium, Eagland, and o Their
countries.
Meanwhile, schools tlourished in the Mother

What We Spend for Liquor.

DR.. J. G. Holland, in Seribner's Monthly,
strikes out thus boldly against whisky I:
We consume, as a nation, 5000, 600 ,OoO
year in spirituous liquors, a sum Which
only needs very few multplications to pay
the whole public debt of the country. Ii
the tax could be estirely abated, the i'm
petus that wOnld be given, not only to our
prosperity, but TO our civilization, would
soon place US in advance of every nation
under heaven. Liquor is the bottom of all
our poverty. Ii the tax for it were lifted,
there would not need to be a man, woman
or child without bread. If it could be lifted
from the Southern States alone. it would
prosperous, but rich. There cannot be
more pitiful or contemplate sight, than a
man quarreling over and bemoaning his
taxes, while tickling his palate and burning
up his stomach and his substance with
glass after glass of whisky. Men dread the
cholera, the yellow fever and email pox,
and take expensive precautions against
year do not produce the mischief that IN
temperance does in a mouth. 1t is worse
than a plague, worse than fire or inunda-
ton, or war. Nothing but sickness, death,
immortality, crime, pauperism and fright
full waste of resources come of it. Nothing
noble is born of it.
On this subject, a correspondent writes as
follows to the n. o. Times:
The number of saloons and drinking
places in New Orleans is e62. Averaging
the receipts of each at ten dollars day,
we have for the year the cum of three mil
lions one hundred and forty Eve thousand
three hundred dollars expended for inebria
ton. Now, Roundabout, as people will
drink, and unfortunately there is no remedy
to prevent it, why can't we do something
for the orphans For instance, a State law
should be passed taxing each soloon keeper
one per cent on his gross receipts for the
benefit of the orphans. How many have
been sent to an early grave by this beset-
ting ain of driDking. 1t is true that the
tax would only come out of the pocket of
the d1inkists," but they at least in their
mad career would be placing at interest
money which they deny to their families.
My dear Roundabout, you know who, ,am.
have been through the mid. .ltis true l
have reformed but l have left Others who
have rot that power Roundabout, every
dollar that l would have spent in drink ing,
will put aside, and whenever business
men decide that we should have a railroad
to Texas, will invest my savings in that,
and outside of my savings from whisky
will give ten per cent Of my salary for the
orphans, regardless Of religion. Charity
has no religion.
