WONDERFUL NATURAL Provision
In the struggle foi life which is 90
ing on pcrpetuallv throughout the
whole OF the animal creation, it is in
terestin0 to observe the wonderful pro-
visions which Nature makes for the
preservation of the weaker and more
helpless animals. The color of the
creature is often adapted in a wonder
ful way to It's mode Of living and place
of concealment, and contributes very
materially TO its safety We know
how difficult it. is to distinguish the
Crasshcppcr from the leaf or blade
where he is resting, till he betravs
himself by moving. The birds that
sing in the hedge rows have colors on
their backs which harmonic with the
color Of the leaves about which they
fit, while the feathers on their breasts
borrow the white hue of the clouds
above them. The partridge can hardly
be distinguished from the stubble where
it makes its nest. while in northern
countries the winter dress of the hare
and ptarmigan is white like the snow
among which they are seen. The same
is the case with the inhabitants of the
water. The frogs which live in the
pool or muddy bitches ale known to
vary their color according to the ma
ture of the sand or mud among which
they,'live The trec-frog, on the other
hand, is green, and thus is with diff
Guilty distinguished from the trees to
which it adhercs Fish, especially
those which inhabit fresh water. are
so like in color to the weeds and stones
among which they lie, that it is often
very difficult to detect their presence
One of the most wonderful instances
OF Natures care in providing for the
protection of the more dcfenccless
creatures is found in the apparatus for
defence with which the cuetle-fish is
furnished. As soon as its quick ewes
catch glimpse of an approaching
enemy, knowing the impossibilitv of
saving itself by fight, it prepares at
once to seek safety in concealment.
With this object it sinks downwards.

which it is provided black stream of
inky fluid. This entirely surrounds

siderable time to disperse, the enemy
is generally baffied if, however. the
cuttle-iish is still in danger, it pours
out another food of ink, and remains
quiet until the peril is past The

AN enterprising grocer in The town
of Santa Clara, California has adopted
an original method of business. Each
side of the store is fitted up for busi-
ness on its own account. In the gen.
eral arrangement each side is n dupli-
cate of the othel, the difference being
that one side is cash and the other
credit. When a customer comes in,
the first question asked is, -"Do you
wish to buy for cash or on account ~
III it is cash customer the goods and
prices Oh the cash side are shown, but
if it is one who wants credit, he is
shown the other side and for the first
time In his life. perhaps, is made TO Ieal-
ize the value of ready money.

IN Chester county, Pa, roads are in
charge of township officers, who are
held responsible for their condition
Every three years they are divided Tito
short sections of not more than half a
mile, and sold at public auction to the
to'cest bidder, who is bound by a writ
ten contract; the only reservation
made being that the purchaser must be
a citizen of the township and must
sign the contract. Legal decisions
have fixed that the public have no
right beyond that of passing over the
road in the ordinary course of travel
and that the right to all grass, fruit or
minerals, remains with the owners of
the farm from which the land was
taken. Thetownship supervisors have
unlimited control as to earth needed
for repairs. and there is no appeal from
their command.-Country Gentleman.

COLUMBIA, April 30, 1976.-It hav
ing been stated before ono of the
Congressional committees that the
notorious Merril! received between
$4,000 and $4,000 fh arrests OF
Ku~Klnx in this State. have ob-
taincd the following particulars OF
The transaction for qualifications:
In 1870 Governor Scott offered a
reward of 5000 for the arrest and
conviction of those engaged in the
Ku-KuX outrages. After the arr es
and conviction of many Of Them, Hes
ter, Qhc detective who was sent from
Washington to "work up the cases, ~
presented to Governor Scvtt a certifi-
cate signed by all the officers of the
United States Court, viz: the diStric,
attorney, marshal, comnissoneryan
perhaps the judge, in which it was
stated that lie, Hester, was the person
who 'caused!the arrest of and "found"
the testimony to convict the alleged
criminals, and that he was therefore
entitled to receive the reward PROM
isod. lie also presented certificate
signed by the attorney general to the
effect that the Governor had full au,
thority to give him warrants upon
the armed force fund, SO called. His
claims thus certified amounted to
SIS, 900. Governor Scott gave him
warrants to the amount OF $4,000,
bnt refused to give the remainder
until the Legislature should endorse
his action or in some way authorize
him to do so. At the next meeting
OF that body, however, nothing was
done by it to that end, while Merrill
brought forward a bill claiming re
ward for the same arrests, amount
ing to &35, 900, which was passed and
he received Il warrant tor that sum.
AS no complaint to the contrary was
ever heard ii is presumed that the
warrants were cashed, and that the
$4,000 properly issued by Governor
Scott remained unpaid. (D Hester
sold his warrants and may Lave re-
ceived part of Merrill's claim.
