100000 Bugs!

There Is now on the way to New
York what is probably the most
wonderful chronological collection
IN the world, and, strange to say,
1T has been made by an old actor,
Dir. Henry Edwards, of California.
lie commenced the task when only
ten years of age. Since hat time,
by purchase, personal effort IN
various parts Of the world and a
system of exchange with something
like n hundred and thirty-seven
correspondents, he has secured not
less than seventy eight thousand
species, comprising 265, 600 speci-
! mems. To pack these for transport
mutton around the Horn occupied
a%hluree weeks Of hard work Of several
a c%oirsons. They fill 1,O36 boxes, re-
yourlring a space of 20 cubic feet, or
er'tefhteen tons of ship measurement.
withe immensely Of the collection
'mysy be inferred from the statement
tied this fact. Mr.. Edwards is a
whetmber Of some sixteen learned So
to sayles IN various parts Of the
appeald, and has to maintain an i'm
ter olse correspondence with the
Heel at scientists of the world, inclu-
rem ag Darwin, Lubbock, Wallace,
most other prominent Laturalists in

Swindled out Of Their Hair.

Several weeks ago three ladies,
hailing from Harrisburg, Pa. if we
mistake not, visited this place and
managed to reap a rich harvest Of
human hair, which they promised
to return by the first of July last
in the shape of ladies switching,
&c. Having failed even up to this
late date to fulfilled their part OF
the contract, the presumption IS
that they were a trio of feminine
swindlers, and that the hair which
they accumulated, and which vas
quite valuable, will never again
grace the heads of the rightful
owners,-CumGria Freeman.

Whether You keep one COW or

Sow a hundred pounds of plaster.

ONE OF THE Mules PECULIAR
IrIEs.-If any IN will observe the
movement of vaqueros In this
country he will find that IN nine
cases out of ten the herd of pack
mules are following a gray horse
with a bell about his neck. 1t is
asserted as a fact by mule drivers
that a gray or white horse, when
belled, has a peculiarly attractive
or fascinating control over mules,
and that a herd of the l~ong-eared
brutes will not run astray as long
as they can see the horse or hear
the bell. 1t is further asserted
that 4 colored horse fails to exer
else this mysterious control over
the brutes, and that a herd will not
follow a belled mule at / .-Tusca-
rora Times.

G.. ?. Sanderson, the officer in
charge of the English elephant
catching establishment in Mysore,
says that elephants travel IN herds
and in strict Indian file. When a
calf is born, the herd remains with
the mother two days; the calf Is
then able to march and a cross
rivers and climb hills with the as
sistance of its dam. They are fine
swimmers. Mr. Sanderson saws
that a herd Of Seventy-nine which
he sent across country had the
Ganges and several Of It's large
tidal branches TO cross. In the
longest swim they were six hours
without touching bottom. After a
rest on a sand bank they completed
the swim III three more. Not one
was lost. Twice around an ele-
plants foot is said to be his height,
and generally this measurement is
correct. Their size is generally
exaggerated. The largest Mr.. San
derson ever saw was nine feet ten
inches high at the shoulder.
