TweedIe.dum and Tweedle.dee.

The Harrisburg Telegraph and Lancas-
ter Examiner know that the INTELLIGEN-
GER neither makes, lies nor " hangs to !"
any statement which it has reason to be-
lieve is erroneous.
Having stated, as matter of recollec-
ton, that Gen. Beaver once said at Car
Isle to company of ex-Confederates that
he hardly knew which side in the war
was right" we most cheerfully and
promptly printed the Ielegraph's report of
what he really did say, which was in effect
that from their standpoint the Confede-
rates did what they believed was right, and
what he would have done in their place.
The subject was referred to not to dis
credit Beavers head or heart, but to show
that he lacks intelligence or sincerity when
he now declares that he cannot stand an
Confederate in a consular place. 1t may
be question whether Beaver said or
meant more or less than we originally as
cribed to him; but we incline to think no
one who wore the gray would ask for a
more complete vindication than he gave
them in his Carlisle speech, which now,
when the turf on the war graves is so
much older, he seeks to repudiate.
As for his Harrisburg organ it is not just
exactly the journal to set up as an instruc-
tor in decency or professor of journalistic
ethics.

Found u BOOk-WOrm.

Richard Savage the Stratford-on-A vor
librarian, has found a real book-worm and
has made pet Of him. 81 found little
fellow" he says, " on December q, 1884, in
our library, in a copy of the 'Theatrum
Poetarum of Edward Phillips, 1915. He
had made his way only about half an inch up
the back of the book. placed him in small
pill-box, and gave him few bits of the back
of an old book for food. On looking every
day, always found him at the top of the
box, so / concluded he wanted air, and
then picked some holes through the top
with pin. He has since remained at the
bottom of the box, feeding and growing till he
has enlarged from about one-eighth OF an
inch to full three sixteenths, and thicker in
proportion. i have examined him carefully
In the sunlight with an ordinary lens. He
seemed disturbed by the light or heat so
turned him on his back, and found that he
had six legs at the fore part of his body, the
hinder two being at about half his length
and these, no doubt, are of great use in his
boring. He has a tiny dark-tipped nose,
which seems very hard, and head of very
light amber color. His body is of a trans
parent 'white-wax-color,' and has hair upon
IL, for noticed portions of the refuse of his
mastications adhering to him, little distance
from his skin. This is the third / have
found here the first in August last, which
foolishly destroyed. The second was found
ON December 26, and lost but the present
specimen is alive, and apparently in good
health, this day (April 49,"
