A Terrible Pest.

The worst insect pest in Tropical
America is the terrible ire-ant, whose
stingis likened to the puncture of red
hot needle. 1t is found only on sandy
soils in open places, and seems to thrive
most near houses and in weedy villages.
Towns are sometimes deserted on ac-
count of tins little tormentor. 1t is a
small species, of a shiny red color, not
greatly differing from the common red
stiDging-ant of our own country, except
that the pain and irritation caused by
its sting are much greater. Where it
abounds the whole soil is undermined
by it; the ground is perforated with the
entrances to their subterranean gale
ries, and little sandy dome occurs here
and there, where the insects bring their
young to receive warmth near the sur
face. Homes are overrun with them !;
they dispute every fragment of food with
the inhabitants, and destroy clothing for
the sake of the starch. All eatables
have to be suspended in baskets from
the rafters, and the cords well soaked
with copaiba balsam, which is the only
means known to prevent them from
climbing. They seem to attack persons
out of sheer malice. The legs of tables,
chairs and stools, and the cords of ham
mOcks have to be smeared in the same

Miss ANNE MCPHERSON has under
taken for six years past the benevolent
work Of transporting orphan and friend
less children from England to Canada.
The Dominion Government during the
last year deputed four officers TO visit
the children and report upon their con-
dition. The report was very salts
factory. Between 1870 and 1876 over
1900 children have been taken to Can
ada by Miss Mcpherson, placed in
homes, where ninety sight out of every
hundred are doing well. This simple
yet practical charity promises to grow
to large dimensions.

of this. The depth of her sorrow. for
the loss of the good Prince Albert, and
the faithfulness with which she cher
ishes and honors his memory and
teaches her children to do so, are known
to all. = .hroH o 9oEiq -it3
Lady Franklin, too, holds a foremost
place among the faithful and true.
When her husband, Sir John Franklin,
did not return at the expected time from
his last expedition to the North Seas
apprehensions began to be seriously en-
tertained respecting his fate and that
of his brave companions. Lady Frank
lin offered rewards of $4,000 and f3,-
600 TO any persons discovering or af-
fording relief to the missing party, or
making any extraordinary effort with
this object. She appealed to the
American people to assist in the
search, and she herself determined upon,
organized, and to great extent defray-
ed the expense of two expeditions to
seek for traces of the missing party.
For years she refused to give up hope,
and it was only when Capt. McClintock
returned with what were considered
full proofs of his death that she rested
in her endeavors to prosecute the
search. To quote the words of Sir
Roderick Murchison, Nothing daunted
by failure after failure, she persevered
through years of hope deferred with a
singleness of purpose and a sincere de-
votion which were truly unparalleled
The little ship Pandora, which is now
acting as medium of communication
betweenEngland and the present Arctic
explorers, was fitted out in great part
at her expense before her death.-CaS-

A bandit Chiefs Speech TO His Fellow.
- Culprits at the GuilIotine.

Some curious details are given of the
execution of Bou-Zian, the bandit Chief.
and two of his gang, in the Algerian
province of Oran. On the evening be-
fore the beheading they were conveyed
from Gran TO Perregaux, every station
being thronged by excited crowds. In
the neighborhood of the scaffold groups
of Moors and Arab women chanted
funeral dirges necessarily until day.

Zian, with cheeks all bloody and LAGER
ated by her nails, sang thus:
MY brother is going TO leave us;
1t Is my spirit which taketh flight,
And my house which becomes void.
At daybreak the prison toilet of the
Chief being completed, Bou-Zian asked
for a cigsret, drank a glass of lemon

FROM tables published in one of the
New York papers it appears that the
wages paid to labor have decreased by
about one-third. There are about
100000 workers, men, women and
children, in this country, and their la
Dor averaged about S15 per week in
good times. AT the present time it does
not average more than 80. Multiply
the So lost by 100000 and we have the
sum of $40, 600, 900 per week, which the
spending class, which includes the great
er part of the laboring community, has
to do without. That $40, 100000 repre-
sents so much less groceries, clothing
and fuel. The aggregate loss to trade
for the year is enormous and almost in
calculable, and accounts for the failures
in retail business, the empty stores, and
the depressed condition of our produc-
tive industries. 1881.

THE son of wealthy manufacturer
in Berlin, who was engaged to an esti-
mable young lady of that city, few
weeks ago became acquainted with a
young woman, said to be an American
widow, who fascinated him to such a
degree that he agreed to elope with her.
By forging his fathers name, the young
man secured several thousand dollars,
most of which he gave the quasi widow,
and the two left by different routes to
meet at Verviers, in France. The young
man reached the appointed rendezvous,
but no American widow had arrived.
The following day, however, the deluded
youth received a letter from Dover, in
which the 'widow" informed her vic
tim that the money he had kindly lent
her would pay her passage to America,
where her husband was waiting for her.
The prodigal son, after some days, re-
turned to his father and his first love,
was forgiven by both, and will proba-
bly, hereafter beware of the widows.

A Deaf Mute's HerOism.

About 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon
several gentlemen standing on Vine
Street wharf witnessed an act which
was highly commendable. Thomas
Hall, a lad of nine years, having
strayed from his parents, was at play
upon the wharf mentioned, when his
foot slipped and he was precipitated
into the strong tide OF the Delaware. A
deaf mute named Argus Cornish, an
eccentric genius, who does odd jobs
along the wharves, and who, an out
cast himself, seems to take pleasurable
pride in protecting others, and has al
ready saved several lives, although
standing with his back to the scene of
the accident, seemed, as his name i'm
plies, to have hundred eyes. With
out any hesitation he stripped off his
coat and shoes, and, plunging into the
water, in short time brought the boy
safe to land.-Philadelphia Press.

TOMATO FIGs.-Take pear-shaped
tomatoes, red or yellow, and weigh
them. To pounds allow 8 pounds Of
brown sugar strongly favored with gin
ger and lemon juice. Put all together
in kettle with very little water, and
simmer gently until the tomatoes are
clear through, but not broken. Lift
from the sir1p, and spread in the sun
to dry upon large fat dishes. Pack
away in small glass or stone jars, in
layers, strewing sugar thickly between
each layer of tomatoes. More toma-
toes may be scalded in the sirup left in
the kettle, and will be quite sweet
enough.

NOTHING is more easy than to grow
rich. 1t is only to trust nobody-to be-
friend none-to get every thing, and
save all you get-to stint ourselves and
every body belonging to us-to be the
friend of no man, and have no man for
our friend-to heap interest upon in
teIest, cent upon cent-to be mean,
miserable and despised some twenty
years-and riches will come as sure as
disease and disappointment. Andwhen
pretty nearly enough wealth is collected
by disregard of all the charities of the
human heart, and at the expense of every
enjoyment, save that of wallowing in
filthy meanness-death comes to finish
the work-the body is buried in hole,

Society has for some time tried the ex-
pertinent of establishing stalls for the
sale of mountaineering drinks. Thir-
teen of these stalls have been opened
in London, and their success has en-
couraged the society to extend the sys-

been devised to send wheelbarrows
through the agricultural districts at
harvest times, in order to supply the
harvesters with temperance drinks.
