Tue FARMER ANT.-The farmer
ants have million cities in
Texas. They build a city under
ground, with streets, houses and
public halls. The city is entered
by two gates Oh the surface of
the ground. Around these gates,
lie all their farms or plantations.
They cut down all the grass,
except certain kinds which bear
the seed that they live on, and
so make a clearing, just as a
farmer does when he cuts down
trees. The jaw Of the major ant
or best worker is as sharp as a
knife, and with the help ofminor
ant or boy worker Il farm eight
feet square is cut. The queen
ant does nothing but attend to
the children. The male ant or
arone is the lazybones, and struts
around the corners. Thus there
are four kinds Of ants in every
family. They have regular roads
through the farms. The roads
are two inches wide They have
granaries, and when tie seeds
are ripe IiIl the grai'arles with

A STRANGE TRAGEDY.-A curious
tragedy was recently enacted at Littowk,
on the Russian frontier. Two Jews
father and son, had long lived on bad
terms, and at last the son hired peasant,
for twenty five pieces Of silver to 'facili-
tate the departure Of the old man from
this vale Of tears" On the day fixed for
the execution of the crime The peasant
repented and, going to the intended vic
tim. confessed all that had passed. The
father made him promise to pretend to
his employer that the crime had been
committed, and he then went to the
Rabbi Joseph Beer, before whom he laid
the matter. After due de!beration, the
rabbi determined to see the son, and inform
him that his father had appeared to him
in dream, and he asked his murderer
whether he would appear before terres-
trial or celestial jury. The son, quite
overwhelmed, chose the former tribunal,
which was accordingly formed, and cou-
sisted Of ten influential parishioners. The
father was placed behind curtain. The
prisoner having been placed behind the
bar, the judges rose, aud the rabbi solemn
ly invited he spirit Of the dead man to
bring forward his accusation. Hardly
had the son recognized the voice OF his
father when he was seized with terror and
fell dead The procurator of the province,
on learning the facts, at once caused the
rabbi and the other members Of the
court 10 be arrested.
