Mr.. Hale, of Maine, charged the
supporters of the bill as representing
an interest which was meditating II
raid upon the treasury, which charge
was denied by Mr., Tucker, of Virginia.
whereupon an exciting debate took
place, which lasted until the adjourn

taken.

Migration OF Insects

Prof. Riley regards the migration OF
insects as due to their multiplying
more rapidly than their means of sup
port. The migrations OF rats are attrib-
uted to the same cause, and similar
observations have been made as to
other animals. Many insects that are
not normally of u migratory tendency
exhibit it when pressed by dearth Of
food. In these cases they collect to-
geGher and migrate in large bodies.
Referring to instances of the kind,
Prof. Riley, at q recent meeting of the
st. Louis Academy OF Science, stated
tina. vast flights of butterflies took place
at times from the equatorial regions OF
South America Migrating swarms
have been observed at sea and also In
tho southwestern portions ofthe United
States, where the fact ia frequently re-
corded ia local newspapers, especially
In September and October, aud occa.
slonally in the spring months. In
every instance where observations
have been made, this migrating but.
terfiy has been found to be the ntchip.
pus. Additional observations on the
subject of migratory insects might
prove OF value.

How Ar,smus ward Wrote.

A friend of Artemus Ward, who was
with him on the Cleveland Plaindealer
for some time. says he used to be in-
cessantly whiting his chair and desk.
His manner of writing was as peculiar
as everything else about the man. His
mission in life seemed TO be TO hunt up
funny things When he found them,
out Of his own head or elsewhere, he
himself enjoyed them better than any
one else. As he sat writing. when the
funny idea struck him, he would laugh
with OUTLAW which seemed TO shake
him from his heels upward. He sat in

over the leg of the chair. and explode

Architecture,

WE call the attention of our
readers to the card of Mr.. a. c..
| Bruce, Architect, of Knoxville,
Tenn, which appears elsewhere in
our columns. He comes before the
public as an Architect of distin-
guished ability and large expert
ence, and is particularly RECON-
mended as a Court House Architect.
He planned and superintendent the
erection Of the Court Houses at
London, MorristOWn and Athens,
Tenn, also for Cooke county, and
planned and is now experimenting
the building of the Court House at
Chattanooga, which will be by far
the handsomCst court house build
ing in the State. Mr.. Bruce's plan
for this building was selected out of
thirteen plans which were submit
ted by the leading architects of the
country, which places him at the
head of his profession. He comes
to us as being thoroughly practical
and reliable in every respect. He
has succeeded in his profession,
giving satisfaction wherever en-
ployed. Mr.. Bruce has just pub
lished a very neat and attractive
book entitled Southern Homes
illustrated" which contains many
valuable hints to those wishing to
build a residence. This book con-
tains plans for residences at cost
of from 81 600 to $4,000 dollars it
can be obtained by calling on him
ut a cost of - cents per copy. He
is stopping at the Southern Hotel
and will remain in our city three or
four days.

Isroadhurst institute.

Our first visit to this establish
ment brought us in contact with
the highest arithmetic class, con-
sisting ofseveral young ladies nearly
grown and one young gentleman.
Interest was the chapter in which
they were engaged, and they evinced
a practical and theoretical acquaint-
ance with discount and the calculat-
ing of percentages which would
have qualified any one of them for
the cashiership of bank. Then we
had some calculations of measure
ment, involving, indeed, important
principals in geometry, all of which
were promptly solved, until one
problem was given which gravelled
everybody, including this editor,
and then we adjourned to another
room, where we put through a class
of Mr.. Streator's boys in Latin
grammar and reading. These
showed thorough training, which is
nothing more than we would expect
from our knowledge of the teachers
ability.
But all this was nothing compared
to the magic of the Kindergarten,
under the direction of Miss Matte
Dietz. TWAS step into fairy-Iand.
Here we found little men and |
women of from three to seven years
old acquiring ideas of all sorts, learn
ing poems by heart, marching, draw
ing, weaving quaint embroideries
with slips of colored paper, and get
ting fun out of it all 4; learning more
than we ever knew children of that
age to learn, and none of the old
bugabOos to keep them straight,
such as sitting upon stool, stand
ing in corner, the ounces cap, and,
worse than all, the dreaded handful
ofpeachswitches in the background.
We have only one spite against the
Kindergarten, and that is that it
was not invented before we were
born; they began upon us in very
different style.
We can only say in conclusion
that a great variety of subjects are
well taught at the Broadhurst Insti-
tute, but the greatest of these is the
