Anecdote OF q Spider.

A fine old English gentlemen,
IMr. Moggridge) with abundant
leisure for studies in natural histo.
~, has written very entertaining
book on insects, in one chapter of
which, as critic asserts, he "ele.
Yates the character of the spider"
1t is pleasant at any rate, to know
that he has found out enough about
the creatures feelings to elevate
science in the direction of mercy.
The story is briefly as follows: Mog-
gridge had been in the habit of i'm
mersing for preservation his differ
ent specimens Of y iders and ants
in bottles Of alcohol. He saw that
they struggled for few minutes;
but he thought that the sensation
was soon eXtinguished, and they
were soon free from suffering. On
one occasion he wished to preserve
large female spider and twenty
four of her young ones that he had
captured. He put the mother into
a bottle of alcohol and saw that
after few moments she folded her
legs about her body and was at rest.
He then put into the bottle the
young ones, who q. course manifest
ed acute pain. What was his sur
prise to see the mother arouse her.
self from her lcthargy, dart around
and gather her young ones to her
bosom, fold her arms around them
and again relapse into insensibility,
until at length death came to her
relief, and the limos no longer con-
trolled by this maternal instin ct,
relaxed their grasp and became
dead. The effects CT the exhibition
upon him is lesson to our common
humanity. He has applied chlorO-
form before immersion. Judging
from the above, the spider is GER
tainly superior to the human ami
mai, in the fact that alcohol does
not destroy her natural affection.

FRAUD.

Jus. before going to press we learn
of a Democratic fraud to be prac-
ticed in this district next Saturday.
Certain of the Williams clubs in
Knox county are paying negroes
from 81 % to $500 to become mem.
beers of abe clubs. Their certificate
of registration is required as an
evidence of good faith before they
are admitted into full membership.
The second fraud came to light in
this county. A Democratic Judge
is to have short pencil and make
mark on the tickets and then
claim that they are corrupt and un'
lawful and demand that they bt
thr own out.

board where they choose.
The editor of the Omaha World
Herald, who visited one of these in
sti utes in September, mentions a
gentleman who went there who was
in q state of intoxication bordering
on delerium tremens, and was pres
ent when this man took his first
"shot." He pronounced him at that
time in the most deplorable condi.
ton with a care-wOrn and blase ex-
preston and his limbs trembled and
his whole nervous system was in
terrible state. He looked 10 be fully
sixty-five years old, when in fact he
was but forty-twO. This man had
been u drunkard for more than
twenty years and left the institute
cured and with steady nerves.
This man stated that he had lost
his appetite for drink the second
day he was in the institute and
would not have missed the treat
ment for thousands of dollars, and
that he had not felt so well in his
fife. He also met a man by the
name OF Hitler from Rush, Neb.,
who had not known what it was to
be sober for eight years, and who
had been discharged cared. This
latter man confessed that he never
! drpamed before he took the treat
ment that he would receive such
lasting adherence for liquor as he
had after his discharge from the in
stitute. He mentions another very
pathetic case of an Omaha business
man who, after his cure, with tears
in his eyes said that when he came
to the institute he believed himself
to be past all help; that his crav.
ing for drink was seemingly beyond
control; that his health was grad
ually falling, and that he was rap
idly sinking into the depth Of deg
relation from which he hardly ex-
pected he could be raised. The re-
suit of this treatment was that he
was entirely cured, ~ he hoped,
forever, and of which the editor had
not the slightest doubt. He said he
cared no more for his old habits,
and that the result of his treatment
was simply wonderful and one of
the greatest miracles he ever knew.
No language could express what
had been done for him ut that insti-
tute. With appetite and health re-
stored, what greater blessing could
he ask for? And his advice to
heavy drinkers was to go and do
likewise. In short this is the eXpe-
rience of large minority of men
who take the treatment, and all ex-
press themselves in very decided
terms that they will never again
be the slaves of drink, having been
entirely relieved of the drink habit.

explain about the high-pziced meal. It
was in jackson, Miss, in the summer
of 1868. The Federal army had Just
taken possession of the town. A few
days before that one of the Federal
cavalry commands had captured Con-
federate officer on his way to Texas to
buy cattle for the Confederacy, and
with him they captured a big leather
.valise stuffed full of Confederate mon
ey-some of it just as it came from the
press, with sheets uncut. It counted
up in all $40, 900. General Clarke got
hold of it and went to a man named
johnson, who kept the best hotel IN
Jackson. He told the landlord that
he would give him $40, 900 for a dinner
for forty, and the landlord went to
work to do his best, and really got up
a fine dinner. All the principal gen
erals of the army sat down to it.
When the meal was finished, General
Clarke handed over the $40. 600 to Mr.
Johnson. It made the old fellow rich,
too, said General Clarke, for he put
every dollar of it in real estate at very
fair figures, considering the character
of the currency, ans his heirs are
pretty well off now on account Of the
rise IN the value during the past
twenty-five years.
