ANTS AND MEN

Ants arc civilized like men If anybody doubts it him read this of ant observed and described by M Hanhart Swiss naturalist The bel igerents were ahe well known ant nations, Formica Fusca and Formica Rufa. or in plain English, the lel- lows and Reds.
 The hostile armies approached in battle order made up of squadrons marching with the greatest regularity The Yelows advanced column front forming line three or four yards long Hanked by other corps ia squares made up of from 20 so soldiers eac5. The Reds numerous, had much longer front, with two or three lines of fighters.
 The yclIows left attachments near their anthils o defend them against an unforeseen assault The great line aanRed the right by compact corps of sev eral hundred soldiers. a similar corps of more than 1000 was on tbc wing The two aonkng corps took part in the principal action that the right wing helped to form reserve army while that marching as
 column on the left mauoeuyered in such a way as 60 the flank Of the enemy marched on the Reds ant hin and took t by assault
 The two armies attacked each ether and fought for a long time without breaking their ranks. The battle ragged fercey the adversares biting each other without mercy legs and arms torn off, or hung by shrc1s. Finally disorder arose at several points and the fighting continued between detached groups After bloody struggle Of three four hours, the Reds put o flight abandoning their anthils and their dead and disabled soldiers and seeking refuge at distance with the remnant Of their forces
 It is perfectly obvious from this account that the Yellow Ants were fighting for their place in thc sun. and ho Rcd Ants were fighting in defense of Red Ant culture The ants go to for such objects because being the highly civilized species of insect creation they know that the proper way to secure ife liberty and happiness to squirt ronic acid into each others eyes and bite each other in two

controversy, between Governor Whit

The Governor has contended for sew

to Albany, gave him the names Of five
men. three now living. who were in
volVcd in Beckcr's grating operations.
Mr.. Manton has perSistcntlv denied
this and challenged NJ. Whitman to
give his authority TO the statements
purporting to have been made by him.
He sent a telegram TO this effect to
the Governor, requesting az answer.

that the Governor had ignored his re-
