cncy to desert his party and join the Republic
ans. He has sent proxy to Gen. Bragg to rep
resent him in the Democratic National Commit

support an objectionable candidate, If one
should be named By the National Democratic
Convention. Col Wins found himself in such
good company when he made his eloquent

Java Parrot and Spider.
IAIl fha Year Round

The spider, whose body was as large
as small birds, dropped down upon a
young parrot whose mamma was from
home, and spreading its huge claws over
the nest, began sucking its blood. When
the mother returned she naturally went
for the enemy, and seized hold of one of
his legs; but whether it be that legs are
not a sensitive portion of a spiders Or
ganization, or that this particular insect
had an overpowering penchant for the
blood of young parrots, he would not let
go until, his pain becoming too intense
for endurance, he turned on the mother,
and, twining all his legs firmly about her
neck, was just arranging for good long
suck in that quarter, wien she gave him
an awful dig in the belly with her beak,
whereupon he fell over, dragging her to
the ground with him. Then shot him
and released the parrot.

Sooner or later every creature finds an
advocate. Now appears from Armenia a
much-traveled Brilon, by the name OF
Capt. Creagh, and loudly sings the sooth-
ing, soporlfic virtue of the wicked flea.
This astounding wanderer assures us, as
of his personal experience, that in Ar
menia at least "the crawling of insects.
from the crown of the head to the soles
of the feet, is so lethargic, and,
like the action of shampooing,
so soothing to the limbs of the
weary traveller, that the instant the feas
have covered his body in as great null
titude as the ants on an ant-heap, he,
with a smile of peace and satisfaction on
his face, drops gently into profound and
refreshing slunbers. An English Con-
sui, after long residence in Armenia,
having retired to his native country on
a pension, had become so accustomed to
the feas that he was unable to sleep with
out them, and his housemaid always car
ried a snuf-box full upstairs and put
them into his bed with the warming.

Cost Of Iron i'm Medieval Times.

The cost Of iron and iron tools was q
serious difficulty in medieval husbandry.
When iron implements were worth I'd q
pound, that is to say, at least 2s pound
in modern money values, the culture Of
the soil was superficial and the fertility
of the surface was rapidly exhausted.
Before the middle Of Elizabeth's reign
the art of smelling east iron was discov-
cred, for good deal Of the Queens
heavy ordnance was made from this ma
teriai. Norris the price of wrought iron
trebled, as that of most other commodi-
ties is. In the fifteenth century it was
worth from f6 to f8 ton; in the reign
Of Elizabeth from E10 to ETA. For, as
the success of agriculture is measure Of
the success with which other employ
ments can be prosecuted, as well as a
leisure class can be maintained, 80 the
inventions Of the. mechanic materially
assist the progress Of agricultural art and
lessen the cost of its operations.
