French correspondent of Les Mondes re-
latcs the following curious incident in natu-
raj history, from the Transvaal Republic.
The coffee plantations there arc much ex-
posed to the ravages of large cynocephalic
apes, and q pood guard has to be keptin Or
der not to lose, through these animals, the
fruits Of long labor. Among the coffee trees
there grows large shrub Whose scientific
name the writer didnot know, the fruits Of
which are borne very close to the trunk.
species Of wasps, whose sting is extremely
painful, had chosen several of these shrubs
to attach their nests to, and the balloons had
often been observed casting envious glances
toward the fruit, but not daring to touch it
for fear of being stung. One fine morning
the writer heard terrible cries, and, with the
aid of a good opera glass witnessed the fol-
lowing scene: A large, venerable baboon,
chief Of the band, was laying hold OF young
apes and pitching them into the shrub, and
doing this again and again, in spite of tie
piteohs cries and groans from his victims.
The shock brought down the nests of wasps,
which attacked the unhappy aggressors in
swarnls, and during this time the old wretch
proceeded quietly to feed on the fruits, deign-
ing occasionally to throw the remnants to
some females and young a little way Oft.

Professor Agassiz says in his lecture on the
s'Trees Of America that no fossils of plants
belonging to the family Of the rose have ever
been discovered, and regards this as a con-
elusive evidence that the introduction OF
these plants was either coeval with or subse-
quent to the creation of man,

The Lexington Gazette, like its democra-
tic contemporaries Of Virginia, is so much in
tic habit of tlenomncing and naligning Re-
publcans, that it is surprised that Rcpub-
lican paper could criticise courteously the
views of political opponent. We wrote
about Mr. Tucker precisely what we believe.
He is dangerous politician, from the fact
that he has the ability and character to give
prominence and emphasis to dangerous doc
trincs, which he, no doubt, honestly believes.
We do not think that he represents the SEN
timcnts of the masses OF his district, and rs
for the political demagogncs who generally
control conventions. they have no convic-
lions except those pertaining 10 selfish ends.
1t was by them that he received an acclaim
denomination, and not from the people.
With Mr.. fuckers known views about gov
ernmcnt-his persistent declaration OF the
doctrine Of State Sovereignty and Secession
his denomination does not reflect the hon
est views Of his constituents, left free to eX-
ercisc their judgments. The people are all
right when left alone, and il is for this rea-
son that the dcmagogucs seek to stimulate
passion and prejudice so as to subordinate
reason. The defeat of Tucker and the cleo
ton of Burch in the 9th district, would be
healthy sign, and give assurance that the
day OF caucus tyranny had passed.

THE. 4TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
We respectfully lefcr the Republicans OF
that District to the action of Mr.. Charles S.
Spencer as a candidate in the sth Congress-
ional District of New York, who in finding
his candidacy, although he was regularly
nominated, unacceptable to Independent Re
publicans, frankly recognizes the effect OF
division upon the Republican chances in the
district. and to secure party unity retres
from the canvass. A noble self-denial
which will be appreciated by all Republicans.

STILL. THEY CoME.-Thc Fifteenth Ward
Tilden and Hendricks Campaign Club, OF
New York city, has renounced its allegiance
to Tilden and Hendricks, and declared unan-
inously Hayes for and Wheeler. In the meet
ing ratifying their change, John Carroll, said
'she had been life loEg Democrat. He had
s,lpportcd Mr.. Tilden for Governor two years
since with heart and soul, but now for the
Presidency, where a man of pure, spotless
character was required, he could not consct-
cntiously support him."

We cannot understand why the Wing and
its Democratic contemporaries are seeking to
create the impression that Hayes admins
tration will be but a continuation Of Grants,
with the hope that it will do any harm to the
Republican candidate. General Grant has
many friends in the Democratic party, who
would have voted for him had ne been the
nominee. AS the people begin to see the evi-
dence of the financial policy of the admins
tration-thc high credit of the government
the rapid return Of healthy condition to the
manufacturing and mining interests-th in
like degree begin to appreciate the wisdom
of Republican policy. "Grantism'' has lost
its terrors, and as that is all the argument
the Democrats have been able to conjnre up,
we may consider that the canvass is virtual
ly closed.
