NECROPHORE,

Ths bory1ng Beeele. Alias Carbon Bssale.
The word Neorophore is derived from
two Greek words signiiying dead body,
and carrier; and is applied to genus OF
beetles named NeeropAorus, Of which
there are about twenty species in
the United States, that have been de.
scribed, named and catalogued. They
belong to the family Silphida, called after
&lpha, the typical genus Of tho family
group, an arbitrary term, perhaps, Of
which the derivation is not clear. In
plain English tho different genera of the
family are usually deDOminated' ''scavenger
beetles" and they perform IN important
function In the economy OF nature. This
mild October weather fevives them and
brings them abroad and o-day (6th) one
was captured BY tho senior reporter Of the
INTELLIGENCER and placed in our pos
session. This is Necrophorus Mdsyisataa
about an inch in length, in color black,
with transverse orange marks on the wing
covers. The individuals of this genus arc
commonly called "sextOn beetles" Or
g. burying beetle" " from q singular habit
they have of burying tho substances in
which they deposit their eggs. Perhaps
ought also to state that the name Of " car
rion beetle " has been very generally ap-
piled to the family, and wherever there
is putrid carriOn exposed there you may
find them, their c0geners and their more
remote family relatives. But the genus
Necrophorus has peculiar habit that
does not pervade the whole family. II
the carcass is large, for instance, that
of horse, OK, sheep, swine, dog &C..
these beetles will make no attempt to
bury it except, perhaps. q small detached
portion of it. But when it finds the dead
carcass of q toad, . rat, mouse, or
small bird, it forthwith commences to
bury it in which labor the sexes unite.
They dig out the earth from under it, and
when the carcass sinks down q little below
the surrounding level they cover it with
the earth removed in making tho excava-
tiOn. Into this indus tbs eggs arc de.
posted, the larvae arc Matched and matured.
Exposed to the hot sun and the rapid do
composition assisted by the various species
of "Bl0w- flies" their Larvae could not
become fully developed, and hence would
perish. There arc districts in Mexico and
South America, where carrion .bcetles arc
not known tho air is 80 pure and dry,
that carcasses become "jerked'' OF dryed,
before decomposition takes place. Our
beetle buries the carcass to pr0longe de-
composition. Tho namc of "Buzzard-
beetle" suggested by the aforesaid repor-
ter, would be appropriate; because a. .
scavenger and for its size it will compare
with the Buz." r.

In noticing the attempt of Lawyer CAL
leader, Of Boston, to Wlite life Of Thad.
Stevens the New York Times says:
ut ID not easy to rzke the contents Of
this volume with seriousness Or with
patience. Though printed and bound
with such good taste and pleasing libe: ali
ty a to invite almost immediate attention.
within it is anything but graceful in senti-
meEt and in style it is everything that is.
pretentious. In unthinking and mauilln
adulati0n Of ,6tsvsus, in extravagant and
wayward figures Of speech, in gross and
twenty. yeariOld political prejudice, and in
strained exposition of ideas so homely and
familiar as hardly to need exposition at
all, there are few books anywhere within
our knowledge that can rival it. It. il uu-
fortunate that no Law, either legislative.
divine, or SOCIAL exists to prevent the
writing of such books, and that dollars
alone are necessary to place them before
tho public. Men will write them and will
get them published. To deserve thanks
or praise for 20 doing is, however, a quite
other and not 20 easy matter. Here there
exists . law about books that il as old as
books themselves and il indestructible as
human nature. Bad ones must Glie.'

THE Philadelphia Times, by very
circuitous course Of reasoning, zeaclles
advice to the Philadelphia Committee of
One Hundred which we can echo,
and that is-if We understand the Times
circumlocuti0n, of which we are not
con6dent-to attach itself to the cause
Of neither candidate for sheriff, unless
it considers one better than the
other. Thsee Is no disputing the
good sense OF that advice. The
Times considers Grim no better
than Keim |; il the Committee of One
Hundred agree with it they would be
silly to support Grim rather than Keim !;
for they are not Democrats, but Repub-
licans. Tho Democrats believe Grim to
be tho best man for sheriff Is such they
have nominated him. They will not
expect the COMMITTEES of One Hundred
or anybody else to help to elect him
sheriff, unless they coincide in the
opinion that he Is q better man
than Keim for the place. It is
very simple question for the One Hun
dred. II they think Grim is the best
man they should support him, to be true
to their professions. II they do not
think 70, or are In doubt, they will sup
port Keim or stand neutral. There is
hardly any need OF anybody advising
them in such q simple dilemma.

SIMON CAMERON.
THE ANo1Esr DoNEaAL STATESMAN,

What Good 10 20 bs Found In y Famous
Pennsylvanis Poiit,cian-lar. Charles
A. DsnsS Opinion OF Hts Friend.
Hon. Simon Cameron and Mr.. JAIME,
Duffy, of this county, have lately beer
visiting Mr.. Chas. A. Dana, of the New
York Sun. The Cameron dynasty has re-
ceived and still receives some very severe
blows from that paper, but the following
editorial from its issue of yesterday shows
that the genial editor does not allow his
political feeling to influence his personal
relations. He has long been . friend OF
Cameron and thus writes of him and the
good that is in him
"The venerable Simon Cameron ol
Pennsylvania has been in this neighbor-
hood during the last few days paving
visits to some of his personal friends. Al
the age of "a he is as hale and vigorous as
man could hope to be !; and, although
he has retired from active participation in
public affairs, he watches their develop.
mont with intense interest, and with a
judgment as clear and as wise as ever.
"Tnere are three conspicuous facts in
the public history of Mr.. Cameron which
will certainly form for him an imperisha.
bic distinction in future years.
The first of these facts is that when
no was secretary of war in Mr.. Lincoln q
cabinet, he recognized the full force OF
the truth that slavery was the turning
point of the great struggle !; and accord
ingly, no was the very first to propose
that negroes should be employed as sol
dicrs in the Union army.
Another of these facts is that at the
close of his long period of service a. q
senator of the United States, he opposed
the electoral commission, plainly declar-
ing to his Republican iatimates in the
Senate that it was infinitely better that
the Republican party should 60 out of
power and that Mr.. Tilden and the Dem
ocrats should como in. Tho pooplo had
SO decided in tho election and he held
that to retain the administration and the
Offices through any cunning devices against
the will of the people, could only lead to
subsequent disaster. Il is not too much
to say that tho sequel has moro than vim.
dicated tho sOundness Of this honest judg-
there are who now heartily wish they had
followed it!
"And finally, We recall the fact that
throughout his protracted career, MIR.
Cameron has probably done moro acts of
individual kindness, and has helped more
people who needed help, irrespective of
all distinctions of sects, or party, or pre-
vious condition of servitule, than any
other American of his day.
We think that these things form a
valid claim upon the admiration of men :;
and long may this aged statesman remain
among us to enjoy that popular esteem
and sympathy which he so remarkably
deserves"
