Qualities are all of the most commun'
istic sort; there is little individual feel
ing, little sponaneity Of effort among
them in any way. They are very indus
trious; they will fight recklessly for
their hive or their nest; they will ac-
cept death unhesitatingly for the COM
mon advantage; and they will even
turn themselves into living honey jars
on behalf of the community to which
thew belong. But they exhibit few
signs of personal affection; they are
utterly careless of one another's lives;
and they seldom perform any. act; IN
short. members OF an insect phalanste'
nv which knows no ethical principle ex-
cept the collective good. AS to intelli-
gence, Sir John Lubbock rather incilnes
to the belief that ants possess some
ride means of communication;
and certainly it is hard for any one
who has watched them closely to resist
the conviction that they talk to one
another somehow with their antenn@.
The experiments on the perception OF
color by bees conclusively prove that
these insects can distinguish all the
prismatic hues as we'll as we ourselves,
and help to throw light upon the origin
and development of colored flowers.
Altogether the book is as interesting as
it is valuable; and the lucid simplicity
of its style, unenoumbered by any IN
necessary technicalities, is sure to make
it popular favorite. James Ga

Snake Stories.

This, says the New York Tribune, is
good month for snakes In Pennsyl-
vania, and the papers of that imperial
commonwealth are full of their doings.
Here are few of them:
Margaret Kane, Mauch Chunk, walk
ing in bare feet, stepped upon a vicious
copperhead, which at once immodestly
buried it's fangs in the calf of her leg.
She was stupeied with liquor, and g
live toad fastened on the wound. The
toad obligingly absorbed the poison
and died, and the little girl recovered.
Mrs. Benjamin Ritter, Of Strasburg,
was engaged in the familiar act OF ad-
iusting switch of false hair when she
heard kissing sound proceeding from
the back of her head. What she had
supposed to be coil of hair proved to
be a black snake, which she promptly
dispatched.
Squire Clouser, of New Broomfeld,
whose veracity has been unimpeached
for years, set box trap for squirrels.
A squirrel sprang the trap, leaving
room, however, for mouse to enter.
A copperhead snake followed and de-
youred the mouse, which so increased
the snakes bulk that it could not re-
treat. Squire Clouser came within an
ace of being the third victim, but es-
capped in triumph with three kinds OF
game.
John Bossler, Of Donegal, heard an
ominous rattle while working in the
harvest field, but paid no heed to it. A
moment later huge rattlesnake fast
ened on his hand. He sucked the
poison from the wound, drank three
pints of whisky, took powerful emetic
and is doing we'll.
Another paper says that Hillsboro
county, N. H., farmer has not been
obliged to buy any Paris green this
year, although the potato blu S were
never more plenty. A blacksnake, fully
six feet long, goes along between the
rows and plucks the bugs clean from
the hills. This the snake continues
until his appetite is satisfied, and he
does his work so thoroughly that the
farmer has not had to pick the bugs at
all. The snake can he seen at his work
nearly every day.

The Judges.

Says Washington letter to the Plila-
delphia Press: For heightened per-
quisites, privileges and luxuries, the
jolly old owls on the Supreme Court
bench would take the premium at the
worlds fair-they would take the cake,
the oven, the baker and the farmers
wheat field. In the first place every
one of the Judges has room in his
house furnished by the government
luxuriously-a perfect library in itself.
The walls are covered with book cases
filled with law books of great value and
usefulness, the floors are richly carpet
ed. a great, massive desk occupies the
center of theroom, morocco lounges and
easy chairs invite you to repose, and
the body servent is Just without the
door awaiting the tinkle of the silver
bell. These, including the body serv-
ant, are paid out of Uncle Sans pouch.
If you go dine with judge, or a sec.
rotary, an assistant secretary, or an as
sistant anything, or a Senator, behind
your chair you will probably find o
waiter, paid for by the government as
a messenger or a laborer. Each judge
has his own man. The Supreme Court
has more officers and men than any
similar institution in the world thrice
over. One thing the judges have not
except on days of ceremony, and that
is carriages. Many, indeed nearly all of
them, drive their own private carriages,
but mall other respects they are about
like Cabinet officers, except more so.
With $4,000 year and pension when
they retire; With library, body serv-
ant, three or SIX months vacation every
year, and the respect of all mankind,
the Supreme Court judges can walk
along the AoEery paths leading to old
age with the Jolly idea that they are

Bepiamin Harvey Hill.

The wires convey to us the intelh'
eence that Georgia's greatest statesman
had been relieved of his bodily sufier'
ings-that he has passed over into the
mysterious future. The tongue that
was wont to thrill audiences is stilled,
the lips that spoke words of fire are for
ever hushed, the stately form that was
admired for its grandeur is PROSTATE
Time gathers us all into the granary OF
the dead, but the sickle cuts OIL only
once in many years mortal possessed
of soul like that of Benjamin Harvey
Hill. Born of chivalric southern blood,
and educated in q circle where mans
honor was held priceless, it is not I'M
natural that Ben Hill, possessed OF
genius ard burning with the fires that
belong to his nativity, made name
that is immortal. Not alone in Geor-
gia, but throughout the United States
and the civilized world, the name OF
Ben Hill has become ahousehoid WORD.
He was moulded after the fashion OF
one of Virginia's greatest statesmen and
orators, Henry A. Wise; bold and deli
ant because of his advocacy of truth,
and thus leader of men; great in his
eloquence, convincing in his logic, pro-
found in thought, and thus not only a
political leader but statesman. Ben
Hill was already known as a great man
in Georgia long before the war. He
was powerful stump speaker, brave
partisan, and was early in life honored
with public position by the people
his state. The impress of his genius
was felt for Georgia's good in the legls-
lative councils, and then his towering
genius lifted him beyond this sphere
and into the federal councils at Wash.
ington. He was an original secession
list, and belonged to the Davis school,
thus mourning the enmity of his cotem-
poraries, Stephens end Brown. He
was defeated in his first race for con-
gress in nominating convention for the
ninth Georgia district by Garnet Nc
Mullen, who died before he took his
seat. Hill was made his successor, and
his first speech in the house was made
in opposition to Blaine's proposition IN
the amnesty bill regarding Mr.. Jeffer-
son Davis. This gave him great dis
tinction, and he has remained the brave
political defender of the south. Had
he lived, his term as senator would
have expired next March. As it is, his
place must be filed by appointment,
and the probabilities are that General
John 3. Gordon will be named to I'LL
out the unexpired term. Peace be with
the ashes of Ben Hill! He was true
and brave man, swerving neither to the
right nor the left for policy sake, an
honest and sometimes on indiscreet
leader, but the embodiment of nobility.

RECONCILIATION of r.. HI. M. Da-
wilson.

The District Convention which met in
this city on the 18th inst. did its work in
a few hours and adjourned. Except in
the laudable desire of portion of the
delegates to secure the nomination of a
western gentleman, the utmost harmony
prevailed The first and only ballot
taken showed that Colonel Davidson was
largely the choice of the Convention, and
before the vote was formally announced,
his nomination, on motion of Jackson
county delegate who had supported Col.
McWhorter, was made unanimous.
ALPS well that ends we'll" The re-
suit proves that Colonel Davidson has a
strong hold upon the affections and conf
dence of the people of the First District.
Without controversy, he has made a
faithful, watcflul and energetic public
servant" and lis nomination for a fourth
term is a cordial recognition of that fact.
1t now remains for the Democracy of
the First District to ratiiy the work of
their delegates by the triumphant election
OF their nominee That this will be done
by the people in November we have no
doubt. Nevertheless, it would not be
wise to take such result for granted. To
secure success is to ,cork for 1t, and to
this end there should be organization in
every county. The same earnest efforts
that have characterized previous cam
paigns must be made again, otherwise
there may be grievous disappointment
when the election is over The work of
organization cannot commence too soon.

between the people Of the sister States, Georgia
