soma persons must be summarily suppress
ed that others may breathe in peace. A
good specimen Of the proper method Of
rebuking impertiaence was turnishc by
the Rev. John Carter, Incumbent Of
Bramford, in Suffolk, a man at ouco learu-
ed and modest. He was dining at the
house Of o worthy alderman oil Ipswich,
when one Of the company boasted Of his
own requirements, and, growing bold with
impunity, proceeded to such lengths that
be defed anyone present to start u ques~
tion in theology or philosophy to which
he could not give a ready and satisfactory
answer. An awful silence fell on the
guests ut this proposal, and for o few Sc.
conds no sound YVES heard but the ~clatter OF
knives and forks ; when Mr.. Carter looked
up and said "My plate furnishes me with
. question to pose you. Here is fish

Cell me why be should como out a fresh

query utterly discounted the bully Of

APRlCELESS TREASURE

In the second week of May, 1877,
there was found in the Olympia
temple Of Zeus, not far from the
portrait statue Of Roman lady. a
colossal marble statue ola nude youth.
The lower portion of the legs and the
right forearm are wanting. With the
left elbow he leaned upon the stem OF
tree, supporting upon his arm
little boy. Of the latter figure, unfor-
tunately, only the lower part remains,
and the tiny hand that he had laid
confidingly on the shoulder Of his
bearer. Over the tree-stem on which
the arm that supports the boy is
rested, falls the drapery Of rich.
deeply-cut and wonderfullvworked
folds, affording to the arm a soft
resting place. and gracefully hiding
the support of the tree-stem,
which in his position was
technically necessary. The body OF
the youth rests with an easy negli-
gence on the left leg. 50 that the soft
flesh of the right hip shows, in
manifold displacements. the play OF
the muscles of the blooming youthful
form. The head is marked by the
| finest, most SplrltullZeu youInIul
beauty, and somewhat resembles the
heads we see on the Vatican Meleager
or the Hermes Of the Belviders.
! The, body. too, resembles those
figures, only it is slenderer. softer,
more yiyacious. At the first glance
we are struck by the careless execu-
ton of the hair, which. in the parts
that were usually unseen by the
spectators, is only slightly indicated.
The back of the statue is also less
thoroughly wrought. Now Pausanias
reports that among the gifts OF recent
date was marble Hermes carrying
the boy Dionysus, and that it was a
work of PraXiteles. The savants who
have charge of the excavations have,
| therefore, and there is no doubt
correctly, inferred that our statue is
really the Hermes Of Praxiteles, and
that we now. for the first time, behold
an original work of that great artist
a work that is equal to the greatest
treasures we possess OF ancient art
and which must ever remain a corner
stone of our knowledge of the history
of Greek sculpture. -Londoa .1fhen

rectlOn, examining every Granny and
fallen leaf. At intervals larger pnd
tighter colOred individuals would
often stop and run a lite backward,
apparently giving orders. On the
tanks and in advance of the main
body, smaller columns would push
out, which pursued the cackroaches,
grasshoppers, and spiders in the
neighborhood. A grasshopper seek
ing to escape would often leap into the
midst of the ants. After few inef-
fectuai jumps, with ants clinging to
it's body. it would soon be torn to
pieces. Spiders and bugs which
climbed to the tops Of trees were fol-
lowed and shared a like fate. In Mica
ragua the vegetarian ants eat up trees
and carry off the leaves, to use as
manure, in which grows a minute
species of fungus, on which they feed
They evince a mutual sympathy and
helpfulness, which to an equal extent
can be traced in man alone. Mr.. Belt
placed a little stone on one to secure
it. The next ant that approached ran
back in an agitated manner and COM
municated the intelligence to the 9th
ers. They rushed to the rescue: some
bit at the stone, and tried to move it,
others seized the prisoners by the legs
and pulled. They persevered until
they got the captive free.
In Australia they have been known
to bury their dead with some degree
of formality. The Texan ant removes
any offensive matter placed near it's
city and carries it away. Ants who
| refuse to work are put to death.
Prisoners are brought in by Il fellow
citizen, handed over in a very rough
manner to the guards. who carry off
the offender into the underground pas
sages.
The s!ave-making propensities and
the reliance upon slaves occur in sew
eral Srecies, but not to the same de-
gree. The poiyergus rufeseens is abso-
lutely dependents on it's slave ,andwOuld
rather die than work. F0rmica san
guinea. on the other hand, has much
fever slaves, being itself capable Of
working us well as fighting. No less
variation may be straced in the habits
Of the cattle-keeping ants. Of the
Observation-Disclosures and cocci that
serve them as mich kline, some have
large herds, whilst others have none
at all. and if they encounter an ayhis
straightway kill and eat it. These
aphides are extremely destructive to
fruits and fruit trees, as they
live by sucking the sap The ants
watch them with wonderful care, and
defend them from all enemies.
Instances of sacacity and design
might be easily multiplied. Careful
observation has shown that the ants
are evolving as fast as their short
terms Of life will permit them. They
are becoming more wise and more civ
ilized yearly. Each century masks al
advance. Who knows but that per-
haps in the dim future they may assert
rights which human beings shall be
bound to respect!

A SPIRITUAL SALUMANDER.

Last Sunday night Mrs. Suydam, a
s.medium,' whose particular feat is
to hold her arm over the light Of
lamp for an indefinite period without
being burned, gave a ''iire-test in
Eagle Hall. The exhibition was not
altogether satisfactory, several declar
ing that the woman had used chemi-
calls to guard against burning. Con-
sequently another test was arranged
to take place at the same hall this
evening. Mr.. +. II. Butler, skep-
tic, to superintend the experiment,
and use such chemicals as he might
choose, to prevent any ''snide game
in preparing for the exhibit. Quite
a number of gentlemen. disbelievers
in the spiritualistic ideas. were en-
gagged as Il committee ofinvestigation.
The medium declared that ''although
there were persons present who didn't
believe anything. there are others who
believe that there are certain cOndl-
tions for what they are going to do.
These conditions she stated to be per-
feet stiffness in the room; and the
avoidance of all movements during
the test. Mr.. Butler brought forward
d kerosene lamp. which he had prOyld
ed for the occasion. and he knew to be
sufficiently hot \ bowl of water was
| then brought into the room. The
medium then subjected her arms to a
rubbing of a preparation OF pure alco-
| hol and ether, designed by Mr.. Butler
to remove any chemical that might
have been used. In his subsequent
examination of the woman S arm DR..
Thayer noted nothing extraordinary
except certain scars, which were eX-
planned as the result of poisoning at
Mount Pleasant camp injecting 4
fortnight ago. The skin and flesh
were pronounced to be in a normal
state.
Then the lamp. fully turned up, was
placed upon the table. Mrs. Suydam
shutting her eyes and swaying to and
fro. thereupon went into trance
She grasped the nearly red-hot chin
ney of the lamp in her hands. repeat
ing words in some unknown tongue OF
.gibberish and pressed it To her face
and lips. Putting it down. she hell
her hands and arms in the flames Of
the lamp for several minutes-lonl
l
ened by the carbon smoke. She alst
inhaled the flames, keeping up contin
ually the flood of strange words ant
occasionally cooling or murmurint
sounds. 1t was not very pleasant
thing to see or hear. and everybod,
was relieved when Mrs. Suvdam cam'
out of her trance. and sat down annie
round of applause. Then DIR Thay
] er examined her arms. and found tina
there had been no burning, the littl'
, hairs on the arm remaining the SAM
as before.
, There was call for some scientifi
: explanation. Mr.. Butler thought tina
POSSIBLY the carbon smoke might pro
tect the hand. and after little test o.
his own account with the lamp, de
; clared that he thought in a week
! time he could undergo like experl
T ment. He found, however, that tn
little hairs on his hand were burned
!, Then there was a profound discussion
on the causes which produced the In
: munity from burning. The splrltua
T lists theory is that the spirits produc
