THE Chicago Times says Of Frank Palmer,
recently appointed Public Printer by Presi-
dent Harrison, that he is ''by instinct and
habit an ofIice-holder. He moved to Iowa
and became State Printer. He was elected
to Congress. lie came to Chicago and
was appointed postmaster. Swept out of
that harbor by the rising tide OF Democ-
racy he returned to his understudy, which
seems to be journalism. But the inpour
of the Republican flood floats him again,
and journalism is surrendered that he

Mexico's Dancing Nutmegs.

A gentleman recently returned from
Mexico brought with him a curious OBJ
jec. which would be OF great interest
to lovers Of natural history. He pro-
duced q segment of q Mexican nut,
which was not unlike q nutmeg in
texture, and placed it in the palm Of
his hand closing his fingers close
ly around it. After a moments i'm
prisonment the hand was opened and
the little section of the nut rested on
its rounded side upon which it rocked
convulsively. The hand was closed
again for few seconds. When it was
opened again the mysterious piece
of wood appeared full OF animation
and leaped as gayly as a toad. Then
the gentleman explained the principle
and cause of the movements. "There
is" said he. "a small worm in that
nut which is dormant until its temper.
ature is raised to that Of the human
bOdy-about ninety-eight degrees.
When this is reached the little insect,
which is not more than a slxtee Of
an inch in length, is revived its
torpid state and causes thl ic
motion. The nut is indigeh 3x-
leo. and is usually inhabited by the
worm from the early part OF August
until the arrival of the following sum-
mer. 1t can be revived for nine months
IN cold climate. WsstssN Rarai.
