CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

For some time past the New York
World has been earnestly calling
attention to the capture of some of
the Western States. illinois, Wiscon-
sin, MINNESOTA, Michigan, Iowa, Ne
braska and Kansas are all debatable
states. with possibility of carrying
them for Cleveland and Stevenson.
In all of the above States in the Con
gressional election of 1890 the demo-
Gratis elected over two-thirds Of the
members. The same issue, viz,
Tariff Reform, that was used in the
election of 500 will be used this fall.
In order to prepare the people Of
these Western states for the cleo
ton this fall, it will be necessary to
have speakers in every city and village
and flood them with campaign litera-
ture. All this will require funds, and
an enormous amount will te needed
The New York World therefore, on
Monday August 18th began the great
and good work by the organization of

SENSITIVE SCORPIONS.

The Delicate Hearing Apparatus OF This
and Other Insects.
> correspondent writes to the Specta-
tor to confirm what that journal has
recently said about 1.-THE scorpions very
sensitive ear for the violin" ST have"
says. the correspondent, s'studied the
habits of the scorpion for many years,
and have often noticed how very sensi-
tive scorpions. are to the most delicate
sound, musical or otherwise. Under
the thorax the scorpion has two comb
like appendages, which are the anten-
nse (pectinatse). 1t is pretty well set
tied by Psychologists and entomologists
that in insects the antennse represent
the organs of hearing. These delicate
structures arc easily affected by the
vibrations of sound, and there can be
no doubt whatever that they are also
affected by sounds quite inaudible to
the human ear. The slightest vibra-
ton of the atmosphere from any cause
whatever at once puts in motion the
delicate structures which compose the
antennB, to which organs insects owe
the power of protecting themselves
against danger, as well as the means of
recognizing the approach of one
another. Spiders have wonderful eye
sight, but am quite sure that the scor-
pion's vision, notwithstanding his six
eyes, is far from being acute. tits
very difficult to catch a spider with q
pair of forceps. but a scorpion can be
easily captured, if no noise is made.
Spiders see their prey before they are
caught in the web, but the scorpion
makes no movement whatever to seize
flies or coclxroaches until they indicate
their whereabouts by movements This
being the case, it can readily be under
stood how easily the scorpion may be
reused into motion by the vibrations of
music, as described in the article alluded
to. If tuning-fork be sounded on the
table on which keep my Gagged ,scor-
pion, he at once becomes agitated, and
strikes out viciously with his sting. On
touching him with the vibrating tuning
fork he stings it. and then coils himself
up, as scorpions do when hedged in. In
Jamaica, the negroes believe that scor-
pions know their name; SO they never
call out, See, a Scorpion when they
meet with one on the ground or wall,
for fear of his escaping. They thus in
directly recognize the scorpions deli
cate appreciation of sound; but if you
wish to stop a scorpion in his fight,
blow air on him from the mouth, and
he at once coils himself up. have re-
peatedly done this; but with spider it
has contrary effect. Music charms a
snake into silence, as the experiments
at the Zoo and elsewhere prove; but
the agitated contortions and writings
of the scorpions when reused by the
sound of the violin only prove that they
are reused by the vibrations of sound
J caused by music, and this would hap
pen if they were disturbed by the dis
| cordant sounds of a penny trumpet OF
any other unmusical instrument.

I says: Poor Jacksonl Come along, old

the cabin when he found the body gone,
instead of which, after looking around,
he uttered a long howl, then came to
my feet again and ate the biscuit and
piece of meat out of my hand.

vessel before we were taken off. Luck

in her, but she was draining in water
and needed constant pumping, and we
feared for our lives should heavy wealth

the foot of the obelisk is true copy Of
her. believe she had been struck by
lightning. One of us, a man named
Parsons, said that he guessed by the
look of the corpses that they had been

mystery when there's nobody left alive

was it, too, why that there dog should
have answered to the name of Jackson.
Maybe his master was 30 called. Be
this as it will, you had only to call him

convert him into the lovingest beast that

During the week we were aboard

he sits up to chuck boot at the poor
beast.

jackson, what is it?' says /.
He barked again and walked to the
deckhouse door, looking behind him,
and on my following the first thing
saw was a large brig within half mile
of US.

love between US was something beauti-

MoRRIsTowN, N. j., Feb. 28.-After
another long session the Presbytery of
Norris and Orange, in the case against
Rev. Arthur Cushing Dill, adjourned
until next Thursday. Before adjourning.
however, a vote was taken which resulted
in a verdict of guilty.
The usual precautions were observed
against allowing the proceedings to be-
come public. The members of the Pres
bytery were not present in great num-
bers, the attendance being limited to the
dozen who have followed the case from
beginning to end. - -
Young MIR. Dill, supported by his
lawyer, was early on the scene, and
seemed confident that the result OF the
long ordeal which he has undergone
would be favorable to him. His accusers
arrived shortly after, and they, too, were
confident that the charges would be sus-
tanned and the pastor convicted. The
members of the Preebytery were on hand
promptly, and they, with accused and
accusers, locked themselves behind the
oaken doors of the First Church chapel
Immediately after summing up the
vote was reached.
The formalities were soon gone through
and the Presbytery adjourned.
After the adjournment Rev. Mr.. Whit
taker, stated clerk, handed the following
statement to the press:
LAS the result Of the trial, the Presby
terry of Morris and Orange found the
Rev. Arthur Cushing Dill guilty of using
language inconsistent with the character
of minister of the Gospel, and which
tends to tempt others to sin. or mar
their spiritual edificatlon.
"a committee of three ministers and
two elders was appointed to recommend
an appropriate verdict in the case for the
consideration and action of the Presby-
terry at its next meeting, which will
occur on Thursday, March 8, at Norris
town"
Mr.. Dill did not seem much cast down
by the result and expressed himself as
confident of final vindication. 1t is
probable that the case may reach the
General Assembly before final settle
ment.
A buzz of establishment went up when
the verdict was announced, and every
body listened eagerly when Pastor Dill
was asked by the stated clerk, the Rev.
DIR. Whitaker, what he had to say. He
replied:
Nothing, except that do not under
stand why 1 should be found guilty on
the three allegations in the first charge
when they are unsupported by CORRIDOR
ated evidence, and when I fatty denied
them on the stand. now repeat that
never made use of the immoral utter
ances ascribed to me, and consider the
whole trial preposterous.
The petition to the Presbytery to REIN
state Pastor Dill in the Stirling church
will soon be presented to that body. 1t
now has $50 signatures and more are
being added daily. This petition also
asks for Elder Bebout's removal.
