HOW A sNAKR. MOVES.

A snake when on the ground moves
often with considerable rapidity. The
head Is slightly raised, and the body
and tail progress by means of the pecu-
liar CRASHING power of the skin and ribs
OF the underneath parts, which enables
consecutive contraction and eiongation
to occur. The movement is more or
less fiat with the earth, and the snake
never coils upward, as is often figured
in old and some new paintings and en-
cravings. 1t can erect its head and
much of lis neck and fore part of the
body, and this is also done when the
creature is in horizontal coils and quiz
escent. On moving up stone or tree
the head, neck and much of the body
may be placed against the more or less
vertical object, aud small portion
only of the body may be left on the
ground, but in this position the snake
is liable to fall sideways. On moving
up tree they do not coil themselves
round and. round it Ikea rope, but they
may do this when still. It islwonder-
full how snakes move, along and bet
ween boughs, aud, taking turn round
one with their tail end, swing and look
for food, and also how they will make
themselves up into a bunch on fork
OF q tree, and remain there without
falling. They swim in an undulating
manner, but the body is wriggled on
the same plane as the surface of the
water, and not at rightangles to it, but
in rushing at their prey, both in the
water and on land, there is more or
less upward or downward bending of
the body, and rapid thrust of the
head forward.

Some Familiar Sayings.

Shakespeare gives us more pithy say
ings than any other author. From him
we Gull, "Count their chickens ere they
are hatched." "Make assurance doubly
sure" "Look before you leap"
christmas comes but once year."
Washington Irving gives us "The Al
mighty Dollar" Thomas Norton quer-
led long ago, "What will Mrs. Grundy
say 2" while Goldsmith answers, "Ask
me no questions and I'll tell you no fbs. |"
Thomas Tasser, writer of the sixteenth
century, gives us, It's an i'll wind that
turns no good" "Better late than nev-
err" Look ere thou leap" and "The
stone that is rollingwill gathernomoss." I"
"All cry and no wool is found in But
ler's "Hubibras." Dryden says: "None
but the brave deserve the fair, Men
are but children Of the larger growth"
Through thick and thin" "Of two
evils I have chosen the least, /" and ''The
end must justify the means, are from
Mathew Prior. We are indebted to Col
ley Cibber for the agreeable intelligence
that Richard is himself again." Cow
per tells us that variety is the spice of
lfe." To Milton we owe "The Para
disc of Fools" From Bacon comes
knowledge is power" and Thomas
Southerne reminds us that "Pitys akin
to love-" Dean Swift thought that
"Breadis the staff of life." Campbell
found that Coming events cast their
shadows BEFORE" and ""Tis distance
lends enchantment TO the view." "a
thing Of beauty is Joy forever. is from
Keats. Franklin said God helps those
who help themselves, ard Lawrence
Sterne comforts us with the thought
that God tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb"

A Suggestion to Commissioner Loring.

A Nebraska man, writing to a New
York paper, says he has made chinch
bugs life study, and all his observations
go to show that the bugs are becoming
more and dmore numerous and destructive
every year, though their operations are
confined strictly to spring and not to
winter wheat He predicts that in a
few years, if no remedy is discovered for
them, almost the whole Northwest will
be obliged to give up raising spring
wheat and depend on the winter va
rieties, which is a more risky and pre-
carious crop. We trust that the present
agricultural commissioner, Mr.. Loring,
will find some device by which the chinch
bugs may be as happily abated as were
the potato bugs by commissioner LIE
Due. When the country was overrun with
potato bugs and their destructiveness
was increasing year by year, when they
and tine railroad tracks out West were
covered with them foot deep so that
travel was impeded, Mr.. LIE DUO an
nounced that the thing had gone far
enough and he would now give the mat
eminent chemist, the two devoted sew
eral days to making secret experiments
with the bugs to see if they could not
be turned to some account as an article
of commerce. The result of their ex-
periments was never given out to the
public but it was soon afterwards no
ticed that there was a great improvement
in the quality of western whisky, and
the potato bugs gradually disappeared.
We have always believed that Commits
sioner Loring was man of fully as
much ability as LIE Due, and we look
for a speedy and satisfactory remedy for
the danger that has arisen from chinch
bugs.-Peck's San.

The Nuisance OF Fences.

An exchange remarks that the New
York law forbidding the pasturing of
cattle in the streets and roads has
abated "many nuisances in the shape
of unsightly fences. The most costly
and artistic fence deforms fine land
scape. Fences must sometimes be
tolerated as necessities but should
never be regarded as Ornamental. The
necessity for them is far less than has
been supposed. The modern discovery
that fences are to keep cattle in, not to
keep them out, is valuable one. II
you have O SOW and pigs, fence off lot
big enough to keep them in, but don't
oblige your neighbor to support two
miles of road fence to keep them out
Unsightly fences are disappearing in
many districts, and it is probable that,
where little stock is kept, it will soon be
cheaper TO cut their feed and carry it to
them than to fence pastures. II the
pens that we see in our country vii
lagos were taken away, with proper
care, all would live in a beautiful park !;
this would foreshadow and aid the re-
moval Of social and sectarian barriers, q
contamination devoutly to be wished.
The change Of public opinion in regard
TO fencing has been pleasure and a
surprise. In many places we can hardly
see fence, and rods of old fencing may
be had for the asking"

Rev. Edward Cowley claims to be an injured
man. According to the testimony Of a dozen
or more small children, whose little bodies
were emaciated, he almost starved them to
death and frequently beat them cruelty. The
Court, on the testimony of these children, put
the Reverend gentleman in the Penitentiary.
He was sentenced upon only one indictment,
on which he was found guilty, and a number Of
indictments were left over. He served his time
in prison, was released, and then presented
himself to his brother ministers for vindication.
They tried Mr.. Cowley in their own manner,
and theresult was, pronounced him persecuted
and wronged man. They further authorized
him to preach the Gospel. The Rev. Edward
Cowley now wants money to publish the testi-
mony taken before the Epispcopal Church
and to also prosecute the little orphans
whose testimony sent him to Penitentiary,
on the charge of perjury. 1t seems that
not being satisfied with his cruelty in the
past towards those little ones, whom he
was starving in order to come into possession
of $5,0O0 but now to set himself right before
the world, would have them all committed to
prison life on the charge of perjury. If these
children we're grown men and women, and cap
able Of forming a conspiracy, Mr.. Cowley
might be regarded as prosecuted Christian,
but many Of them are almost infants and could
not have knowledge sufficient to successfully
conspire to the ruination of an intelligent
Christian man. And in addition to their testi-
mony, their bodies emaciated for want of
proper nourishment, and bruised from cruel
beating, told palmer than words the manner Of
man in whose care they had been. We fear
that, although Mr.. Cowley has set himself
right before his brother ministers, there arc
lots of sinners who will always believe that he
did not treat those children exactly right.
