ParaSOl Ants.

Of the parasol ants at Trinidad. >
writer in the London Field says: In the
afternoon, after arriving at the island
in search of the cashew nuts and fruit,
| found the path leading through the
thick forest in many places actually
covered with the cashews which had
fallen from the trees on either side. II
is delicious fruit, sometimes of a red
and sometimes of a yellow color, with
the kidpev-shaped seed on the outside
instead OF inside, like other fruits. This
latter is roasted, and is esteemed deli
cacy by many people, but If not care
fully prepared is apt to cause blisters
on the lips. We had no difficulty in
filing our baskets with as many ca
shews as we required, and were aboutre-
turning to the boat when one OF Mr.. BIS
sons, who had been some little distance
from us sauntering about in the brush,
called to me to come back, and, on go
ing to where he was, he pointed to
what seemed to be a broad band of
moving leaves right across the path,
and. on looking more closely, | saw we
had met with one of those enormous
swa11ns of the s..parasoP' ants which
are SO destructive to plantations in the
tropics. They were crossing from one
side of the wood to the other, and were
travelling in a column of more than q.
foot and half in width, and, as each
insect carried in his mouth piece OF
leaf, which entirely covered the body.
they presented a singular appearance.
like Lilliputian grove in motion, and.
although we watched them tor some-s
time, still they came, their numbers
seeming inexhaustible. Nothing can
turn them from their course. and, al
though they may be destroyed by the
thousands, enough will swarm upon the.
intruder to make him repent interfering
with them On the mainland of South
America I have known a fruit tree
stripped in a single night by a swarm OF
these ants. -.z '5 rZ.as.-f

A DAKOTA SENSATION.
A Young Lady Settler Loses Her Life in an
Effort to Protect Her Property.

Highmore, tDak.) Special, 10th.
shocking affair occurred here to day, the
life of a promising young woman being taken by
her own hand through what appears to have
been an accident. The victim of the unfortu-
nate tragedy was Miss Gertrude Reese, aged
about twenty-five years, who came to Dakota to
take up land, in company with an aunt, Mrs. E.
| " Oscardy, of Marshaltown, la. Both ladies
filed on homesteads last fall, and upon coming
out in the spring to enter their quarter sections
found them occupied by pre- emptors, one of
whom had already proven up, ana the other
about to do so. A Highmore merchant, Mr..
Goudy, had filed on Mrs. Oscardy's claim, and
Mrs. Harrington, of Huron, had in like manner
taken up the clame of Miss Reese. The parties
preempting assert the rights of squatter SOW
ereignty, and 1t is but fair to state that major
ity OF the people here believe them to be in law
| ful possession. But the fair homesteaders were
| advised that they would have the best of a con-
test, and proceeded to make entry.
Mrs Oscardy attempted TO have a "shack"
DuilJ on Mr.. Goudy's quarter, but met with in
| reference by a mob, that took fOrcible posses
! sion of the lumber aud hauled it back to town.
Miss Reese, however, was allowed to build her
claim shanty on the quarter held by Mrs. Far
| rington, and her aunt went to live with her,
| pending the formers contest in the Huron land
| office. Threats OF Intimidation were made with
the hope OF working on the wOmen's fears, but
| Mrs Oscardy, prepossessing young widow,
showed qualities of nerve, aud announced her
intention to "hold the fort" She said to-day
| that she had revolver, and would protect her
own and her niece's rights by its use If neces-
sary. After dinner Mrs, Oscardy left her niece
| III the shack, and in her absence, Miss Reese
| had taken up the revolver with the view, prob
| ably, of famliarizing herself with its use. A
young lad passing the shack accosted by
! Miss Reese, who asked him to show her how to
| fire off the pistol The boy discharged the wea-
| pom once III the air, and states that Miss Reese
then cooked the revolver and laid it on the bed
| Within three-quarters of an hour after the boy
times his visit, couple of young men passing
! by heard grOans issuing from the shack, and on
entering found Miss Reese lying on the floor
| with "a buhet-hole In her temple. 1t is supposed
that she had taken up the revolver again and
was holding it when it was accidentally dis
| charged. When fonnd, Miss Reese was uncon-
scous, and evidently near deaths door. She
died shortly after, without reganng conscious

Milwaukee Girl, Found.

MILwAUKEE. April 20.-The Maggie Hennecke
mystery was solved, this morning, by the dis
cogery Of her body in the river, near Jones

pended at her neck was still there and the gold
band ring with initials IN. II" engraved on it.
The body was swollen by water and the features
were almost tunrecognizable. At the morgue the
remains were placed on a marble slab. and under
the instruction of officers of the Humane So
oiety, were prepared for burial. They will prob
ably be removed to the house of Mr.. Hennecke,
on Hanover street. this afternoon The mother

jecting pie of the wharf and held down.

Route Trial.

Mr.. Ker Continues His Argument in the STAR
Route Trial.
WASHINGTON, April 20.--Iu tho star route trial
to-day, Mr. Ker is proceeding with his review OF
the evidence Bradys newspaper experience
was touched upon, and the assertion was made
that he bought up every secondhand paper that
was for sale in Washington; that he rented every
paper throughout the country whicn could be
rented, and that he bought up every impeeuni-
GUS correspondent who could be corrupted. In
other words, Brady had pursued the same course
towards the newspapers that his colleague Dor
sey had pursued towards the administration.
Mr.. Wilson objected in vigorous terms to this
departure from the evidence, and called upon
the court to restrain the gentleman. The court
accordingly adjured Ker to clip the wings of his
imagination anu cOntine himself strictly to evil
dence.
81 am sorry that my temper is not even as
yours, your honor" said Ker, "I have had many
evidences of the good intent OF newpapers"
Laughter.
The court: "I believe these papers are not do
ing much harm except to their owners"
In explanation of point in his argument, Mr..
Ker displayed a map of one OF the routee to the
jury. The foreman protested that far as he
was concerned they were all photographed upon
his mind, and passed the map TO another juror.
Mr.. Ker then proceeded to review Brady's or
ders upon the routes, taking them up in order.
Before he had concluded that branch of his ar
gumeDt the court adjourned till Monday.
