FROM MADISON.

MADISON, Feb. 10, 1877
The adjournment of both houses from
Friday to Monday, after one of them had
solemnly voted that they wouldn't, suggests
an incident portrayed by Lord Byron in his i'm.
moral and immortal Don Juan. The mem
beers remembered that Friday night was the
night OF the Governors recep Ion, and they
doubtless thought they would require two or
three days to sleep off the headache
they knew would result from their
mild dissipation. Legislators are like the
rest OF us, and have the same ntrmities.
If they drink champagne, indulge in cards
and firtations and trip the light fantastic,
exhausted Nature will give them few
twists and twinges just to remind them that
they cannot violate her rules and regulations
unless they suffer for il. They had lots of
fun, and II they have slight headaches to.
day and tomorrow they will manage TO
worry through.

Longevity OF Snails.

MIR. Robert f. c. Stearns gives,
in the american Naturalist, some in
stances which have come under his
notice of remarkable longevity in
snails. A collection of nine specimens
of the Bulim,ts pallidior was given
him in March, 1873. They were con-
fined in box, without food, until
June %, 1875, when they were placed
in glass jar with some chickweed and
other tender plant food, and little
tepid water to create humid at
mosphere. Presently the snails reused
from their long sleep of two years two
months and sixteen days, and resumed
their activity. AT the date of writing,
one was still alive and healthy, al
though sluggish.
In 1867 Mr.. Stearns brought to the
notice Of the California Academy of
Sciences still more remarkable case.
A Helip reatchji. from Cerros Island,
lived without food from 1859 TO 1865,
a period of six years. Mr.. Stearns
calls attention to the fact that the
snails which have exhibited extraor-
binary vitality inhabit regions which
are subject to drought or are nearly
rainless. The two species which have
come under his observation are found
in particularly dry localities in North
America; while the famous specimen
of the Heiir desertorum, found alive
in the British Museum, after fast OF
four years, is a native of the sterile
areas of Africa and Asia. From this
circumstance, Mr.. Stearns concludes
that the land-mollusks which - in
habit these areas have, through selec-
ton, adaptation and evolution, become
especially fitted for the contingencies
of their habitat, and possess greater
degree of vitality or ability to live
without food than related forms in
what may be considered more favor
able regions" BY reason Of their
long sleep or Information, during
which there is little waste OF vital force,
they are enabled to maintain their hold
upon life when more highly-organized
animals would inevitably perish.

ton that he began to feel nervous.

little nearer the now thoroughly un-
comfortable Mr.. Vanderpool; then
she sighed again, and edged still
nearer. "You're dreadful like him."
she said, and buried her face in big
red handkerchief, and, groaning,
moved nearer still; another groan,
another sigh, made tie girls rise in a
fright. Was the woman crazy? Still
another sigh and groan wedged Mr..
Vanderpool against sharp corner of
the sofa. He, somewhat alarmed,
tried to get up, when Miss Jerusha,
with spasmodic twitches all over her
face, threw her arms around his neck,
exclaiming, convulsively, MY dear,
dear boy"
Mr.. Vanderpool Indignantly strug-
gled to release himself, but the cling
ing arms refused to be unlocked.
Mabel and Florence stood wringing
their hands in despair. Mr.. and Mrs.
Fenton rushed to the rescue, and in
the scutfle that ensued, off came the
poke-bonnet and green veil, carrying
with them the spectacles and gray
hair-and there was Tom curly brown

Oh. Tom, you dreadful boy!"

laughter.
