The Army Worm.

The army worm is so-called because
it appears in such large nur bers and
because, like others of its species, it
moves In columns and follows n leader.
1t is a caterpillar, the larva of a moth,
and noted for its voracity, as it well
may be, since it can eat, 1t Is said, more
than double Its own weight in twenty
Tour hours. Although less gluttonous,
as n rule, it is more destructive than the
locust, from its greater tecundity and
wider distribution over the vegetable
world. 1t feeds on leaves, flowers,
roots, buds, seeds, even the wood Of
plants; indeed, it isnearly omnivelous.
The worm is asserted TO march in regu-
lar and exact order; it lives in society,
and moves in procession either in single
file, or two, three and four abreast, the
line being so pelfectin the columns that
the head of one is never beyond the
head Of another in the row. 1t follows
the leader, stopping when the leader
stops, making journeys from plant to
plant or from tree to tree in quest of
food, and returning to its nest in the
same order. The worms form ranks,
march and halt with the precision f
soldiers. When several nests are in
the same neighborhood, the going forth
md coming back of the creeping bat
talions at the same hour, commonly to.
ward nightfall, is very curious and in.
tcresting. Caterpillars include more
than 1000 varieties, there being 700 In
New England alone. They all have
thirteen segments; the first consisting
Of jaw and mouth; the second, third
and fourth OF the thorax of the future
insect, and the other scgments OF the
abdomen. Their rapid growth and ex-
tr~aordinary consumption are shown by
the common silk worm, which, accord
ing to Vincenzo Dandolo's treatise on
silk, increases, during the thirty days
necessary to its full growth, from ono
forty lines in length, and from LOO
to about ninety-five grains in weight.
In that time, therefore, it increases its
weight 0, 5O0times, and eats so, OOj times
It's weight of food. In the Northern
States there are about 1000 kinds of
butterflies ard moths. AS each female
from 200 70 900 eggs these species
would produce, on an average. from
each single female 300, COO ~caterpillars

Hard Work in the London "Times'
Office.

What impressed me strongly, says Il
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times, was the large amount of hard
work and unrcmitting attention be.
slowed increasingly on the Times by its
proprietors and editors.
Here is an old paper, perhaps the best
established in the world. Every man

ing, but the managers and editors are
working as hard and closely as if they
were starting a new enterprise. Let me
give some facts:
All the editorial work is done at night,
the editors not coming down at al in
he day time.
Mr.. Chenery, the editor. sees the first
paper off the press every night.
Mr.. Mcdonald, the managing pub.
Usher, sees the whole edition off the
press every night.
The paper goes to press at 3 30 A. NJ.
but then the men know that from mid
night to 3 A. NJ. Is the quarterback in
action OF a morning paper, and they are
on it. MI. Walters (the main proprie-

Iane, the late editor, stood quite nearthe

and the Temple. lie, too, always was on
deck at night until the paper went
down. Both OF their dwellings are iar
down town, infinitely farther from the
social life and rest Of London than would
be Third and Chestnut streets from that
of Philadelphia. But the night is the
life OF n morning paper.

Bitter Tongue.

1t is strange but true that some peo-
pie delight in saying bitter things IL
their neighbors. You are never safe
with them. When you have done your
be3t to please, and are feeling very
kindly and pleasantly, out will pop
some underhand stab, which you alone
can understand-a sheer which Is
masked, but which is too well made to
be misunderstood. 1t may be ut your
person, or your mental feeling, your
foolish habit Of thought on some little
oecret opinion confessed in n moment Of
genuine confidence. 1t matters not how
sacred it may be to you, lie will have
his fling at it; and, since the wish is to
make you suffer, he is all the happier
the nearer he touches your heart. How
much unhappiness do such mean at.
tacks cause tcnder-hearted men and
women.

Sea Unicorn.

A curious crowd gathered about th'
United States customs apprasCr, on Inc
Pacific mail dock, Yesterday afternoon
says II C San Francisco Chronicle Of re-
cent date, TO witness the op ming AL
examination of n case brought on the
City Of Toxic, and said to contain the
preserved remains Of n veritable "Sea
Unicorn" This is the first ofthe species,
it is said, ever caught. As the freight
clerk Of the Toxic, in whose charge
it came, informed a Chronicle reporter,
it was captured alive by means of met
in the hands Of some fishermen near
Cape SagImi, but died soon after it twas
taken. The hide was stuffed and
carefully preserved by n skilliul taxi
dermist, and, as it was shown in the
boxing case, fully mounted for exhibit
ton, it presented a very liie-hke and ex'
~ceedingly unique appearance. The
body is Of the size OF a small deer and
covered with scales about IN inch IN
diameter, with TUFTS of reddish bro Sn
hair grown quite plentifully betweer
the scales. Its legs are quite slender
and have long hair about the hoofs,
which resemble those of a deer or a goat.
The tail is straight and tufted, like that
of a COW, while the snout is enlarged at
the end, like that OF a swine, and the
mouth shows formidable tusks pro-
trading on either side. From the cen
ter OF the face projects a single horn,
not more than six inches in length and
less than an inch in diameter, which
curves upward slightly. This is the
distinguishing feature of the unicorn.
In addition, there are two long feelers,
or ~tentacles, one on each side OF the
mouth, resembling somewhat these on
II horned pout. The hair upon the
neck is longer than elsewhere, of the
same reddish color, and has the appear.

related that this animal was sometimes
seen upon the shore of The island, and
that he made a musical noise, which

Third Term MOvement-Chicax
Convention.

Noting political events as they come to
the surface, 1t may not at this time be out
of place to make mention of the seemingly
new impetus given to the so-called "Third
Term" movement, by the action of the
Republican State Convention, so lately in
session at Harrisburg; treat the action of
this body as lightly as we may, it must
necessarily have its weight and will to a
greater or lesser extentinfuence other State
Conventions; as the one in question de-
clared for General Grant, and instructed
their delegates to the Chicago Convention
to vote for him, il places the "great tray
eler" as really the first in the field, having
as hackers powerful State, and handi-
capped by ]. Donald Cameron, as shrewd q
politician as the nation possesses; all this
with the signal advantage gained in this
initial conflict, which will be firmly and
successfully held, leads one to the convic-
ton that the nomination Of General Grant
for President on the Republican ticket is
foregone conclusion. Every day, at H.

Convention is being held of the sick and

THE Senate Committee on Naval AZ
fairs last Wednesday voted to make an
adverse report upon the nomination of
Lieutenant Woodruff S. Schenck, of the
U. s. Marine Corps, to be Captain and
Assistant Quartermaster in the same
corps. This action was based upon the
very proper decision of the Committee
to henceforth oppose any more injustice
in the way of promotions, and it is a
decision which should be speedily
reached in every branch of the service.
No objection to Lieutenant Schenck
was personally made in the Committee,
but it was demonstrated that he ranked
as No. 10 in the list of Second Lieuten-
ants, and that his promotion would be
doing gross injustice to nine other de-
serving young officers. Lieutenant
Schenck is nephew of General Robert
@. Schenek, and very popular young
man, but the right of succession in
army and navy promotions should not be
violated for any such considerations.
