THE OLD PALACE OF AvIGNoN.

That old question has been revived
about the medieval palace of Ayignon,
a favorte town with many English
travellers to the south and identified in
recent times with John Stuart Mill, who
lived there. For long years the celebra-
ted chateau or palace of the Popes in
the southern city has been used as a
barracks The soldiers have not been
respectful toward the frescos or the
sculptured work ornamenting many
parts Of the great construction, which Is
one Of the marvels of medical archltec-
ture. Now the citizens of Avignon and
their municipal councillors seem to be
energetic in their determination to do
something for the Improvement of the
palace, and to rescue 1t from the hands
of the rough soldiery, who care naught
for the art. history and literature with
which the chateau Is identified.
Among the numerous acts of vandal-
ism committed has been the dissertation
and, it may be said, the celebration of
the mural paintings in the chapels of
st. Johns Tower, representing the
scenes in the Baptist's life, the Crucifix
ion and st. Martial. Furthermore, fres-
COS representing the Last Judgment and
Christ on the Cross are utterly defaced.
General de Galliffet, war minister, has
row been approached on the subject,
and has promised to give it every con-
sderation. The citizens of Avignon
want to turn the chateau into muse
UNI of religious art, but this and the
building of new barracks will necessi-
tate a large outlay. Thus, great diff
culties are in the way, and 1t may be
long time yet before the palace of the
Popes becomes a rendezvous of intelli-
gent or merely curious visitors from
every quarter of the globe. The Empe-
ror Napoleon Ill promised so far back
as 1859 to apply four million france to
the restoration and preservation, as an
historic relic. of the palace,
but he was too fully occupied with 9TH
er schemes and projects to carry out
his promises. Artists and archaeolo-
gsts are now joining the municipal
council and citizens of Arignon in de-

LOBSTERS AND CRABS HABITS.
In the new number of The Contempor-
airy Review Mr.. Matthias Dunn gives
an interesting account of the habits of
crabs and Holsters. In looking after
their own interests crustaceans have de-
vflopad an amount of deception which
would do credit to the highest order
Of vertebrate beings. Much, indeed, Of
the article is devoted to the subject of
mimicry or protective resemblance, as
it is sometimes called, though that is by
no means the only end which it serves
Some object to the former term. as inn
plying conscious action; but that ques-
ton Mr. Dunn puts aside, though he
evidently thinks. and in this he is by
no means singular, that certain facts
are very difficult to explain without as

cry generally serves two very distinct
purposes-one defensive, the other Often
sive. Many insects, not themselves pre-
dacious, employ it only for the former.
Certain kinds of butterflies, as the late
II. W. Bates first pointed out nearly
forty years ago, belonging to quite dis
tinct genera bear an extraordinary re-
semblance to one another One species
which birds reject as unpleasant food
is closely initiated by anotehr less album
dant and much more palatable. Other
insects scare away foes by looking like
those which carry a sting while the
resemblance of Others to sticks straws,
or leaves Is too familiar to need more
than mention. But among such crea-
lures as crabs and Holsters, which have
claws for Offense as well as armor for
defense, mimicry is used, not only to
save them from being eaten, but also to
help them in getting food. One might
have supposed that the Great Grab
(Cancer pagarus,) so familiar to the
eater of "shell-flsh," was safe enough
from other crustaceans; but, just as the
torpedo boats may be too much for iron
clads, so the Velvet Swimming Crab
often destroys it, especially if cooped
up in the tisherman's wicker prison.
Small, and much more agile, the former
attacks the eyes of the giant, and, soon
er or later, bites them away; the blind

a feast for these wolves of the sea.

seem, without cannibal Intentions so

the ROAD CASE.
Thinks the Road Law
is AnnuIed.

Seeing an account Of the road case
before Junge Rochester in last weeks
iSsues and hearing some of tho facts
in the case, and tomewhat interested
in the roads as . citizen of the county,
/ beg . space for few remarks. 1t
iS nothing but right and just that
every road oyersser, road hand and in
fact every taxpayer in the county
should think about the matter before
US. The county judge, attorney and
magistrates met in October, condensed
the road law. and habit published At
the cOuntyS expense, which they say,
6 days Of eight hoars each shall con-
Stituts Z road year. But now the
jury Says put the roads in good condi-
ton regardless Of time or cost. At
least this vas practically the verdict
in this case last wssk, of . fourth
class road, which cont the county S7S
and the hsighborhoOd IS days work.
There being at present 295 over
seers In the county, if each would do
the same (and they have a perfect
right according to the verdict) it
would cost the county -s22. 800 q year,
calculating on the lowest grade road
This 10 Q sum far superior to any
appropriation ever msds Or should be
made by any county board.
This case not only snnuls the late
road law, but gives the overseers all
the time thar ambitious spirits may
desire if it takes 60 days, which
leaves the county finance in the over
seer,s hands and no one can hinder.
Let US work by taxation and reduce
the expense.
ga stitch in time saves nine," but
there seems to have been two stitches
lost in this case, and eighteen had to
be taken up. If this is the case many
of the ovsrssers are three and four
stitches behind. which will cost the
county some money to catch up.
