with a petition to the Supreme Court. in which
he states that owing to the misconduct and dis
honest management Of John Bonner. his exam

that he was enabled to acquire entire control Of
the corporation and Mr.. Cutting believes Bon

defendants lawyer. 10y whom he was being

nothing but a set Of frauds. The Judge indig-
nantly exclaimed that il such an utterly unprQ-

notwithstanding the iriais 10 his patience and
forhenranfe. had been very courteous, were re-

Woodlands.

The life-history of the wood or faliow
ant (Formica rufa) was carefully stud
led by Huber, who records that it does
no work in the night. The Rev. Hen.
ry G. McCook, who has closely investi-
gated the habits Of the same species in
the United States, says: "When OBJ
served Gas they were by me) during
nearly every hour Of the night, from
sunset to sunrise, they were found to be
pursuing the very same labors in the
same way and in the same fields as dur
ing the day. The avenues. till-paths,
feeding stations, feeding grounds, and
hills were always thronged day and
night" They were also found by him
to busy themselves in the interior OF
their nests, in Pennsylvania, even in
winter. Although difficult to examine
with certainty the proceedings of the
ants in their underground galleries, it
has been determined with more or less
conclusiveness by this observer that
they remain within their formicaries in
winter, and do not modify the surface
surroundings. The great majority of
the community oef dpy the under
ground galleries inr inter, although the
structure of the M >unds is such as to
insure protection in the central parts
above ground against ordinarily severe
weather. The ants appear to be able to
preserve their activity IN all ordinary
seasons, especially when dwelling in the
underground galleries, and also to do
without regular and customary supplies
of food IN the winter season.

Progress in Japan.
From the Break fast Table.

The Darwinian theory tumbles to
atoms when you undertake to try il ON
the Japanese. They have been a ma
ton for thousands Of years and have
the oldest written history known on the
face of the globe, but they don't pro
gress any more than q gate post They
stand in the same tracks to-day their
forefathers occupied ages ago. There
isn't lghtning-rod nor race-track in
the whole country, and in their diction-
airy is no word that means ''book-agent"
Their Patent Office is utterly barren Of
washing-machine models and some of
their statesmen are actually honest men.
Their fashions are as Interchangeable as
WorkhOuse sentence, and the Wisest
man In the empire couldn't tell plug
hat from grasshopper trap. But the
most convincing proof that imbecility
is an hereditary complaint among them
IS, that they are not even endowed with
sufficient "gumption' to put q clapper
IN bell to make it ring, but pound it
on the outside with q club.

A GENTLEMAN travelling through one
OF the most picturesque portions of the
White Mountain region saw a farmer at
work, and, being Of a sociable DISPOSE
ton, approached the man, and expati-
ated on the beauty and majesty Of the
surrounding scenery, concluding with
the remark, " [ suppose, my friend, you
enjoy this glorious view that people
come SO far to look at ;'Why, yes, ;"
was the response; but if I'd had the
