believe have the right to say that you
should not have published the letter re-
terred to.
Ii such is allowed it will not speak we'll
for the manner in which your paper is
conducted. II should be beneath your
notice to publish an article when the only
object of the writer is to iusul; and injure
u community or person especially
when the statements are untrue rs were
those in the letter refer to. The m lii
cious intent and untru.hiulness OF the
writer were SO selfeviden. that no person
could mistake them. Mean jeAlousies
and petty ssrifes in community should
not be given such prominence - their
publication in the ANTI-MONO POLIsr
gives them. 1t is an easy matter tor an
evil minded person to write under fic-
ticious name and injure or destroy the
reputation OF good person. Now sir,
think that common sense and custom
dictate the necessity of the managers oil
papers to protect their patrons from such
injury and insult.

How A CRICKET SAVED A SHIP.-In
Southey's ''History of Brazil he tells
how Cabez de Vacca was in a great ship,
going to South America with 400 men
and 30 horses, and after they had cross
ed the equator the commander discover
ed that there were only three casks of
water left. He gave orders to make for
the nearest land, and for three days they
sailed for the coast. A poor sick sold
Ter, who left Cadiz with them, brought
grille, or ground cricket, with him,
thinking its cheerful voice would amuse
him on the long, ireary voyage. But to
his great disappointment the insect was
perfectly sile the whole way. The
fourth morning after they had changed
the ships course, the crick, who knew
what she was about, set up her shrillest
note. The soldiers at once gave warning
to the officers in charge of the vessel,
and they soon saw high, jagged rocks
just ahead of them. The watch had been
careless, and the great ship in few mo-
ments would have been dashed to pieces
on the ledge if this puny creature had
not scented the land, and told them of
their danger. Then they cruised along
for some days, and the cricket sang for
them every night just as cheerfully as if
she had been in far-off Spain, till they
got to their destined port, the island of

A TURKISH JOAN OF ARC-The Paris
correspondent of the London Telegraph
says: 1T appears that Mile. Mercus,
the young lady who is playing the part
of Joan of Are in the Herzegovina, is of

years of age, of diminutive stature, dark
and not handsome. She has squandered
away the greater part of large fortune
IN realization of her romantic dreams :
nevertheless, she is still in possession of
more than go, 900 sterling. Her first
fancy was to erect a Protestant temple
at Jerusalem, in front of the monument
supposed to be our sayiours tomb. This
temple, which cost $4,000, still exists.

mand n battery OF artillery, and she re-
Gently gave S12, 900 for the purchase OF
guns, but the gentleman entrusted with
the money, suddenly disappeared, and
nothing further has been heard of him.
This extraordinary lady has not been adj
mired here, having supported the Paris
Commune and approved of the Arch
bishops assassination. She spends her
time running after battlefield adventures
whenever they are to be encountered,
and if public lumor is correct is rather
to be compared to Lola Montez than to
the Maid of Orleans

THESE fine summer mornings, just as
man is trying to get another forty
winks of sleep before breakfast, afford
unusual facilities for studying the hab
bits and disposition of the common fly.
The sagacity of the insect is marvellous.
They never fail to find the tenderest
spots on mans face, and when found
they hold battalion drill right there,
close up in column of companies, then
deploy in line of battle, advance Skin
mishers and throw up rifle pits, keeping
up in the meanwhile an incessant crash
OF field music. After this has gone on
for half hour OF SO, man thinks he
might as we'll get up and help take care
of the baby.

RAISING LEMONS in IowA.-Avoca
Delta: 1t may not be generally known
that lemon can be grown on Iowa soil,
but they can, nevertheless. Some very
fine ones have been raised on farm on
the East Botna River, about 2 miles
northeast of town. The plants were
kept in the house, when young, most OF
the time during the winter, and were
only put out during the genial days, and
by exercise of care they have now at
tanned a thrifty and healthy growth. 1t
has taken several years to bring the
plants to the state of perfection, but
they are now repaying all the trouble
and expense of nursing them to their
present healthful growth.

THE MOON and the WEATHER.

The notion that the moon exerts an
rooted that, notwith standing all the at
lacks which have been made against it,
it continues to retain its b old upon us.
And yet there never was popular
superstitution more utterly without a
basis than this one. If the moon really
did possess any power over the weather,
that power would be exercised in one OF
these ways-by reflection on the suns
rays, by attraction or by emanation.
No other form of action is conceivable.
Now, as the brightest light of full
moon is never equal in intensity OF
quantity to that which is reflected to-
ward us by a white cloud on Il summer
day, it can scarcely be pretended that
the weather is affected by such a cause.
Thatthe moon does exert attraction on rs
is manifest-we can see it working In
the tides; but although it can move wa
same to air, for the specific gravity OF
the atmosphere is so small that there is
nothing to be attracted. Laplace calcu-
lated, indeed, that the JOINT attraction of
the sun and moon together could not
stir the atmosphere at quicker rate
than five miles day. As for lunar en-
anations, not sign of them has ever
been discovered. The idea of influence
being produced by phases of the moon
is, therefore, based on no recognizable
cause whatever. Furthermore, it is now
distinctly shown that no variations at all
really occurs in the weather at the mo-
ment of the changes of quarter any
more than at any other ordinary times.
Since the establishment of meteorologi-
cal stations all over the earth, it has
| been proved by millions of observations
| that there is no simultaucousness what
ever between the supposed cause and
| the supposed effect. The whole story
is fancy and superstition which has
been handed to US uncontradicted, and
which we have accepted as true because
our forefathers believed it. The moon
exercises no more influence upon the
weather than herrings do upon the gov
eminent of Switzerland

How BIRD FLIEs.-The most prom
inent fact about bird is faculty in
which it differs from every other creature
except the bat and insects,-its power
of flying. For this purpose, the bird Is
arm ends, III only one long slender fin
ger, instead of full hand To this are
attached the quilts and small feathers
(coverts) on the upper side, which make
up the wing. Observe how light all this
is: In the first place, the bones are
hollow, then the shafts of the feathers
are hollow, and, finally, the feathers
themselves are made of the most delicate
filaments, interlocking and clinging to
one another with little grasping hooks
of microscopic tineness. Well, how
does bird fly 1t seems simple enough
to describe, and yet it is problem that
the wisest in such matters have not yet
worked out to everybody's satisfaction.
This explanation, by the Duke of Ar
gyle, appears to me to be the best An
open wing forms hollow on its under
side like an inverted saucer when the
wing is forced down, the upward pres
sure of the air caught under this con-
cavity, lifts the bird up, much as you
hoist yourself up between the parallel
bars in a gymnasium. But he could
never in this way get ahead, and
the hardest question is still to be an
swered. Now, the front edge of the
wing, formed of the bones and muscles
of the forearm, is rigid and unyielding,
while the hinder margin is merely the
soft flexible ends of the feathers SO
when the wing is forced down, the air
under it, finding this margin yielding
the easier would rush out here, and, in
50 doing, would bend up the ends of the
quilts, pushing them forward out of the
way, which, of course, would tend to
shove the bird ahead This process,
quickly repeated, results in the pheno-
menon of hight.-Ernest IegersoU, in
