Cunning of the Polar Bear,

ACCORDING to the Esquimaux, the
seal constructs it's habitation beneath
| the surface of the ice in such manner
| that it can enter it from below; here
| the young seal passes it's infancy, and
when the returning heat of summer
has destroyed its ingloo or dwelling, the
young seal is old enough to take care
of itself; but this mode of lodging its
young beneath the ice is well known
to the bear, who, with his keen scent,
soon detects the whereabouts of the
seals nursery, and in order to gain
entrance makes a spring and comes
down heavily with all its weight on
the top of the ingloo, crushes' it in,
and seizes the young seal with its
paw. re
Here, it might be supposed, the
hungry bear at once devours his prey;
but no, it is far too wary to do so; it
knows full well that where a baby is
there must of necessity be mother,
and that she will be in search of her
darling; therefore the bear scrapes
away the snow from the seal hole,
and. holding the young seal by the
fiippers, allows it to founder about,
and when the mother approaches, the
bear slyly draws the young seal to-
ward it until the old one is within
reach, when he seizes her with the
other paw, and thus captures both.
The mode in which the bear cap
lures the seal on the ice is equally in
genious. When at a distance, the
bear throws itself down and stealthily
crawls toward. the seal, and if the
sell looks up it lies perfectly still, and
makes, at the same time, a noise which
lulls the seal. The bear repeats the |
operation until it approaches its vic
tim, when it falls prey to Bruin' |
appetite.
When attempting to catch seal in
the water, the bear sinks its body be-
meath the surface of the water, leay-
ing only the head above, which re-
senbles piece of ice; and when the
seal raises its head above the surface,
Bruin quickly sinks, and swimming
under the seal, SeizeS it.

The american Naturalist for Janu-
airy contains an interesting article on
" Educated Fleas." The education OF
these little animals, it appears, is a
mere sham and pretense-all tie ct,
fects being produced by . sskillful
guidance of their struggles The most
wonderful thing about exhibitions Of
this nature is the proof they afford Of
the strength entirely out of proportion
to the weight and size Of the animal.
The weight of a flea is about five
hundreths of grain, or, if well fed,
one-tenth of a grain, yet the model Of
a street-car drawn by one of them,
weighs 100 grains, OF about ], 200 times
the weight of the flea that drags it.

CENTER LANDING.

The wharf and landing commit,
tee made a report at the meeting
Of the general council yesterday
afternoon recommending the lease
of Center Landing to the Memphis
and Little Rock railroad, said road
to yacate at the city'S order, and to
repair the landing by spending one
thousand dollars on the same each
year. We hope the report will
prevail and its suggestions be adop-
ted. Center Landing is no use to
the city, and cannot be leased or
rented to anybody except the Mem
phis and Little Rock railroad, the
only line south of Poplar Bluffs
that crosses the Mississippi bottoms
and connects with the great system
of Texas railroads. Memphis is
vitality interested in the success of
that railway; it is the only feeder
and route west Of the river, and
should be encouraged and sustained
to the utmost of our ability. We
would do batter to make a full and
free title Of Center Landing to this
road than to try to cripple and
drive off the road. We strike a
blow at the commerce of Memphis
that will tell more than anything
st. Louis can do when we propose
to throttle the line that feeds our
trade and which enables our mer-
chants to reach out without COM
petition for the trade Of Fort Smith,
three hundred miles away, and this
is the only place fifty miles away
from here that can be reached
without meeting formidable COM
petition. The depot of the Mem
phis and Little Rock railroad is a
public convenience and could not
be removed without inAicting a
serious injury on the business Of
this city, to say nothing of the ac-
commodation of the public. We
cannot afford to initiate the illus
trious youth who killed the goose
this laid the golden egg. Any
goose that lays golden eggs for
Memphis should be generously
treated.

ABOUT LIFE INSURANCE.

We publish to-day the rejoinder
Of the Insurance Monitor of New
York to a recent article in the
LEDGER, and may allude to it more
particularly in a future issue. The
assertion that "YeAncient. Ordaire"
can only meet risks continually by
making new business applies equal
ly to insurance companies. When
ever a company ceases to take in
new business it begins to 90 down.
The renewal Of premiums and the
possible profits in investment of
capital will not meet expenses and
losses by death any great length of
time without new business. This
idea we may elaborate more fully
when time and space permit. The
companies absorb from forty to sixty
per cent. in salaries, commissions,
taxes, advertising, unfortunate
speculations and Improbable in
vestments. They make something
by forfeited policies, it is true,
but this cannot be relied upon for
a steady income. AS to the men,
bers of these benevolent orders
being duped and. swindled, we will
venture to assert, without having
the figures at hand to demonstrate
that more people, in proportion K
money paid in, have been "duped
and swindled that is, have palC
something for nothing under t
Misrepresentation Of iacts-in thu
life insurance companies Of Americi
than in the benevolent orders which
promise to give a benefit at death
The fact that a leading i~nsuranc,
Journal like the Monitor should at
tack "Ye Ancient 0rdaire" withou
any cause except the pretexts founl
in q circular, is the strongest evi
dence that the over-done insur
auce interests are on tn
wane, and that the Woodworking
elf-sustaining middle classes ar
looking about for cheaper and safe
assurance. The evils Of the lif
insurance system are felt in tn
pockets of the people, and thus j
