Ants as "a Barometer.
San Antonio Express.

san Antonio EApTesS.
Mr.. l.. G. Wurzbach is no longer u
disbelievcr in the intuitive perception OF
Insects A few days ago lot of small
red ants made their appearance ia one
of the rooms Of his residence in great
NUN bers, many of them burd )ned with
eggs which they had originally deposited
in their subterrsnesn home in the yard.
They were carefully watched, and their
object in moving WAS studied. They
were observed To 90 underneath large
trunk which sat in the room, and il was
presently raised to see what the insects
we e doing under it. 1t was found that
they were leaving their eggs there. They
were not disturbed, and Mr.. Wurzbach
continued TO study their movements. do
ANTICIPATED that the intuition OF the IN
se,ts had led them TO move their eggsto
q o ace of safety, fearing rain, and this
proyed true 1t was not long before a
heavy shower fell, and the sni-bed in
tho ward was flooded, but the instinct OF
the little bugs had saved them from sny
Io.s-they had moved indoors to keep
dry. After the rain was over, and when
tn skies were clear, they returned to
their outside home. Mr.. Wurzbach has
thrown away his barometer, and will
hereafter be guided by these little ants IN
making his rain bets.

Fight ON on This Line.

New YORK herald.
The President being clearly right, and
having put himself in a position from
which ne can not retreat, he must ne
cessarily eight it out on this line, even
t his policy should destroy and disbsnd
the Republican party. He is in diff
cult and trying position. II he were At
liberty to treat the two political parties
as non-existent he would have a very
simple problem before him; but he can
not ignore the party that elected him I'M
less it voluntarily dlssolves, and OF that
there is no immediate prospect. There
will be an irrepressible conflict within
the Republican party. The supporters
and opponents of Mr.. Hayes policy will
contend tor the mastery, and he Is bound
20 stand by his friends. If he shows no
signs OF finching he will either subdue
the malcontents or break up the party.
|. he Yields he is lest, snd even II he
should consent to compromise, he
would forfeit the grandeur Of his moral
position. He has large and respecta
bic portion of the Republican party with
him, and if he stands by his guns, as We
have no manner of doubt that he will, he
will reduce the recslcitrants to decide
between staying in the party and going
out of it. We have not attempted to
beittle the transformation which the
Republican party must undergo to bring
i. into hsrm"'y with present tendencies;
but the tran ormation which MIR. Hayes
is sttempt;na 20 force is the only thing
that can save it from dissolution. We
cordially wish him success, but he will
nave to win it by pretty stiff contest
with the Republican Bourbons, who do
rot perceive that the tide IS going out,
aad that they must float on it or be
stranded.

Rhodes, Dive Into the Niagara.

Buf1alO courier.
At All o'clock yesterday afternoon,
while the raw wind was blowing almost
q gale, and the Niagara River was more
than ustially turbulent, Captain Julius
ID Rhodes waved his hand to several
hundred spectators and plunged heso
foremost from the lantern CRIB OF the In
ternstional Bridge at Black Rock. Inc
distance was about thirty-fve teet' ana
the diver went through the AIT straight
as an arrow, disappearing below the sur
face with hardly splash. tie wore MS
own invented life-ssving coat, and came
no in few seconds, floating like CORK
with the swift current. When he had
reached a point some distance below the
bridge Mrs. Rhodes lesped from the
steam pleasure yacht Lizzie A. Gibson
and MAS soon clInging to the neck OF the
Captain, the apparatus he mad on easily

nal IN swim with his wife all the way to
Topawanda, distance of eight miles, but
after being in the water twenty-five MN
utes the cutting blasts began TO tell on
the frailest of the couple, who wore
blue flannel bathing SUIT. She was &C
cordingly assisted into the yacht and
made comfortable. The party on the
Yacht, who had been Invited to witness
inc feat, having signifed themselves en-
tirely satisfied with the exhibition so tar
As it demonstrated the prscticability Of
the life preserving cos", did not take care
to ieopardize the lite of the plucky
swimmer by unnecessary exposure, and
at their earnest solicitude he was taken
on board in the vicinity OF Strawberry
Island. 1t will be remembered that
Captain Rhodes has declared his inten-
tention OF diving from the new suspen-
sion bridge at Niagara Fails on the first
quiet day.
