Our city government is much NOR
judiciously administered at the presen
time than it has been for the past de
cade. The Mayor discharges his dut!
faithfully and the members of the po
| lice force conduct themselves in high
ly creditable manner. The attempt II
injure their reputation and lessen theil
efficiency has thus tar been futile. rhaI
thew have honestly endeavored to per
form their duty, must be admitted by
their bitterest opponent and their eff
cheney cannot Be- questioned. The con
trast with the old force is very great
indeed, from the Chief down to the
turnkey. The May orr is prompt to pun
ish intoxication whenever it is brought
TO his notice and hence the members OF
the force dare not oversteP the bounds
of discretion aud forget the dignity and
Importance of the position they occupy.
We are glad Of this, as our citizens
have too frequently Id the past had
reason to blush for ths excesses OF som
of the officials and beside intolerance
and untairness, particularly on election
days, characterized many of their acts
In some instances instead of trying to
preserve tn purity of the ballot box,
they wors parties to fraud, escorted re-
peaters from poll to poll and assisted in
brow beating and even arresting honest
voters, in order to preserve the ascend
ency of their party. At the next cleo
ton voters Of all colors and complex
ions will be enabled to cast their ballots
without molestatiOn and the require.

This is great point
gained in our city and honest citizens
of each party must congratulate each
other over it. The police thehceforth
will not be the agents of oppression
and injustice. and full ballot will be
the result. Fair men will rejoice over
this, as the resort to force and fraud to
preserve political ascendeaCy tends to
evil and if persevered in would even
tually lead to revolution. There is no
doubt but the Republican party as we'll
IS the community generally will be
greatly benefited by the change OF the

efforts shall be made to pro-
mote the public welfare or they will not
be able to maintain their ascendency
for any great length of time. The Re-
publicans generally demand reform Of
abuses as far as practicable, and will
not tolerate misconduct on the part of
any official. The Mayor understands

" Go Halves ~

Little Fred Mason's father took him to
an exhibition of wild animals. After
they had looked at the elephants, lions,
tigers, and bears, they went to see the
monkeys. On the way, Mr.. Mason
bought two large oranges and gave them
to Fred
There were six cages of small animals.
One of them was for the "happy fami-
ly." Fred thought the creatures in it
must be called the "happy family" be-
cause the dogs, cats, and monkeys were
all the time teasing and plaguing one
another. One monkey had rat in his
lap. He tended it as mother does her
baby. The monkey was happy, but Mr..
Mason did not think the rat liked it very
well. Fred put one orange into his side
pocket. He could not wait until he got
home to eat the other. As he walked
along among the cages he seemed to care
more for the fruit than for the animals.
He sucked the orange with all his might,
till he came to cage with three monkeys
in it. One of them looked very sober
and solemn. One opened his mouth and
seemed to be laughing. All of them
looked at Fred and held out their hands.
They could not talk; if they could, they
would have said, Go halvesl"
The orange was nice and sweet; Fred
did not wish to Ego halves" He turned
away, for he did not like to be asked for
what he was not willing to give. The
monkeys put their hands out for some of
the orange, but Fred looked the other
way. Fred should have looked at the
monkeys, for the one nearest to him put
out his long arm and snatched the or
ange from his hand. Fred tried to get
it again. While he was doing SO, the
solemn monkey reached down and took
the other orange from his pocket. Fred
did not think how near he was to the
cage. Fred began to cry. The laugh
ing monkey had no orange. He was
afraid of the solemn monkey, but he
chased the one that had stolen the or
ange Fred was eating, all over the cage.
He got it at last. Fred's father bought
two more oranges for him, and he did
not 60 SO near the cage again.-Ow

simply thrown down they are not made
prisoners, because they would adapt
themselves with difficulty to the yoke !;
the assailants want only young individu-
ais which they can mold to their will.
When the place is completely sacked,
each conqueror takes nymph or larva
delicately between its teeth and prepares
to return. Those who cannot find
nymphs or Larvae carry off the mutilated
dead bodies of their enemies in order to
feed on them. Then the whole army, la
den with booty, and sometimes stretching
out in line of hundred and fifty feet
in length, triumphantly regains its city
in the same order as at its departure. AS
soon as the young ants torn from their
homes reach the abode of their spoilers,
the slaves already there lavish the most
attentive care up them; they give them
food, cleanse them, and warm their chill
ed bodies.-"A World of Wonders"

Remarkable Insects.

Throughout the whole insect kingdom
it is surprising to find such ardent pas
sions in fragile little creatures This is
peculiarly so with the ants, which display
more intelligence and system in their
wars and predatory excursions than any
other members of the insect tribes, and
in all their habits, indeed, indicate what
more nearly approaches reasoning than
can be discovered elsewhere, except per-
haps, in the honey-bee. The slave-mak-
ing instinct is so strongly developed in
certain species that race of Jealous serv-
ants becomes actually indispensable to
their existence, and in order to procure
these slaves they act like shameless pr
rates. 1t has been for long time re-
marked that certain ants carry others in
their mouths during their travels, but no
one discovered it till Pierre Huber, an
enthusiastic Swiss naturalist, solved the
problem. He discovered that these ex-
petitions were regular slave raids carried
out in the interests Of the ant community
and executed by main force. These small
filibusters do not go into the markets to
sell their captives by auction, but, like
pleasure-loving tyrants that they are,
keep them in order to impose all house
hold duties on them.
At the head of these daring slave-mak-
ers we must put the red ant, or Amazon,
the military expeditions of which have
been most carefully observed by the nat
uralists of our time. They are so ire
quent that one may enjoy the sight of
them any fine day during the summer
season. Huber says that the excursions
Of these warrior tribes have only one OBJ
ject-that of carrying off ants, so to
speak, in their swaddling-clothes, from.
the midst of laborious people, and con-
verting them into slaves who will work
for them.
When the Amazon takes the field in
order to capture slaves, and especially
the miner ants of which it generally
makes use, it goes about its work in. a
very orderly way. The excursion always
begins when night is drawing on. When
they have issued from their abode, the
Amazons array themselves in serried col
umns, and their army takes its way to
the ants nest which it is about to de-
spoil. In vain do the warriors seek to
bar the entrance; in spite Of all such eff
forts the others penetrate into the very
heart Of the place, and pry into ali the
compartments in order to choose their
victims, the larv@ and nymphs, this latter
being the name given to the Larvae after
they have spun their coeoons, whence
they are to emerge perfect insects The
workers which oppose these raids are

ical, to be filed with entertaining and
instructive matters, designed especially
for the people who could not afford to
buy expensive books and periodicals.
Robert refused to join in this scheme,
and so for time the whole work and
risk fell upon William. His friends all
agreed in thinking that ruin would be
the result, but William Chambers thought
he knew what the people wanted, and
hence he went on.
The result soon justified his expecta-
tons. The first number was published
on the 4th of February, 1882. Thirty
thousand copies were sold in few days,
and three weeks later the sale rose to
fifty thousand copies week.-Harper' S

The ESTABLISHED CHURCH AND THE
SALVATION ARMY.-A change must be
coming over the spirit of the dream of
some Of the clergy of the Established
Church. On Friday "a corps" OF the
Salvation Army marched in military
fashion to ST. Paul's Church, Stoke New
ington, and joined in the usual Church
Of England service. The responses were
given with unusual energy; !" "a run
ming commentary of CALCULATIONS accom-
panied the reading Of the Lesson" Dur
ing the sermon the observations of the
preacher elected frequent approving
ordinations from the Salvationists, who,
on gaining the street, struck up their
tavourte songs, and marched back to
their local quarters We hope the re-
suit will be as enduring as it was anus
ng.-Foreiga Paper.
