SUSPECTED.

We dcprecate the haste with which
people not only suspect others of
great crimes, but the freedom also
with which they give expression to
those suspicious. All are familiar
with the foul SANDER which the son of
Governor Smith endeayored 50 long
to free himself from, but did not en-
tirely do so until the Suncook
murderer Lapage, was brought to
Justice in New Hampshire.
If we put faith in the Phair case,
we find another instance in which the
hasty suspicious Of the people worked
great wrong. Two convicts in the
New York penitentiary have confessed
to the outrage and murder of o young
lady in the west several years ago, a
crime for which young man was ex-
ecuted while protesting his innocence.
1t may not be possible for the mind to
prevent suspicious from flashing upon
it, but when we lightly gossip about
those suspicious, giving our surmises
&C., it becomes very dangerous prac-
tice. What we state, as mere sur
mise of the imagination, upon which
we ground our suspicious, is gossip
ped from lip to lip until, in the line of
street talk, it becomes reported not as
surmise, but as q fact, and others
ground suspicious on this Pigment of
our imagination, as though it were a
positive truth and they could swear to
it. In this way many fair reputa-
ton is sullied.
1t is business Of q detective to
suspect and ferrit out, but the multi
tude of rumors, that are afoat after a
crime, are hindrances to the accom-
plisment of his purpose. Yet many
would-be-wise ones, volunteer their
insane suspicious, and, really feel that
they have missed their calling in not
having adopted the detectives profess
sion.
Let us be charry about lightly speak.
ing of suspecting people ofgreat crime
lest it be our misfortune some time to
have circumstances point our way,
when we may be as innocent as child.

Some Curious Facts About Spiders.

Some curious observations regarding spi-
ders have lately been communicated to the
French Academy of Science by Father Bibaz,
who has been fifteen years engaged in these
researches. 1t happened one day as he was
reading in the garden, that o small spider
lighted upon his book, and crawled over the
very line he was reading. lie tried to blow
it away, but instead OF letting itself DO car
ried away by the blast, it raised its abdo-
men and swung itself up to leaf overhead.
This appeared strange. as there was no
thread to he seen. Our observer caught the
spider again, put it upon his book, and re-
peated the experiment, which ended in the
same result
He caught it once more, and this time put
himself directly in the sun, with the insect
on level with his eyes. In this position he
at length discovered the evolution performed
by the little creature. On receiving the blast,
1t raised its abdomen, and in so doing pro-
jected thread of inconceivable tenuity to
considerable distance, and raising itself in
the air disappeared from view. This uneI-
pected discovery induced Father Babaz to
examine the question thoroughly; every spi-
der that came in his way had to contribute
tONdIus ItScdICuts, duu III tulS
way he at length ascertained fact hitherto
unknown TO naturalists, viz
That most spiders possess not only the fac
ulty of spinning thread, but also that Of
projecting one or several, sometimes of
length ct five or six metres, which they use
to traverse distances with, and afix their
thread to given point they seem to feel
for the place where it is most desirable to fix
it. Certain spiders, the Thomisa Buto, for
instance, will eject bunch ofthreads which.
curling up in the air and shining in the sun
with various hues. give the insect the ap-
pearancs of q peacock, displaying its tail.
But this is not all spiders can fly and swim
in the air, though they are heavier than al
cohol. To perform this feat theyIturn their
back to the ground and keep their legs close
ly folded upon their body, and in this pos
ture sail about IL perfect ease.

There seems to be a good deal Of sound
sense in the view of the political situation
taken by the New York Herald The Herald
notes the fact that the Democratic politicians
have insisted that Mr.. Tilden had carried
South Carolina, az well as Florida and
Louisiana. But BOW South Carolina is con-
ceded to Hayes by the unanimous judgment
ot the House committee, OF whom msjority
are Democrats. Of course if Mr.. Tilden's
friends could lie 20 egregiously mistaken re-
spectiDg South Carolina they may be also in
error respecting the two other disputed
States. 90 At any rate, " says the Herald,
" the country will no longer place much re,
lance on what the Democratic politicians
assert, but only on what the committees Of
investigation prove in regard to the disputed
votes. On the face Of the regular certificates
Mr. Hayes il lecte1. AMI the burden of
proof rests With the Democrats when
claim is made that certificates are iuyalidated
by fraud. Electoral votes cannot be rejected
on mere dOub.s or suspicious. but only on
conclusive evidence. If full investigation
leaves the result in anv State doubtful, the
srraigned Canyassing Board is entitled to
