Tom Homes. of the far West--no town or Stale IN particular-is one of tho pioneers Decidedly he IS one Of them. Tom has faced more wild lands, fever aud sgne, aud Indians, than almost any man now on the borders of civilization towards the setting sun, and still westward the course OF his empire takes its way. When the writer saw Thomas in SAako. pee, Minnesota, III the fall OF 1854, he had ne. yer seen railroad car, or telegraph wire in his life.

Senator A. u. Brown OH DOustas' On Saturday, the 25th Of August, Sena- tor A. G.. Brown made speech at Hazel hurst, Miss, on the political issues Of the day. We make the following extract, from the jackson News, of his remarks: ssThe Governor spoke Of Mr. Douglas as unquestionably the most intellectual man now in the U. S. Senate-as statesman OF frmness, integrity and consistency, and that the charges against him Of being rene gade, an apostate, &c. were unfounded and unjust. He stands to-day where he has al ways stood on the Territorial question where Gen. Cass, the father of squatter sovereignty, and the Democracy, as party stood up to the secession at Charleston and / Baltimore. Although he differed with Mr.. Douglas, yet he thought that prosecuted in dividual was about as honest as politicians generally get to be, and he would do him Justice though the Heavens fall!' Such is she declaration Of Senator Brown He dares to do justice to che great name and fame Of the Democratic standard bearer. = In what contrast are those declarations of the great Mississippi statesman with the fu. tile denurciations of little politicians and small editors, of TRAITOR and renegade. .

The Honey-bearing Ant of New Mexico-A Perambulating sweetmeat. Journal of Science | Much rs has been written about the marvels of instinct, there are still dis coveries of great interest to be made IN this prolific field. Particularly in the domain of those insect Yankees, the ants, with their wonderful ingenuity and human-like manners and customs, there is room for extended observa- tions. Some lately discovered facts in rela- ton 10 them are so curious and interest ing that it may be advisable to give them greater publ icity than they have yet obtained. Some of these facts have long been known to the world of science, but not to the public. Others are new discoveries. As whole, they form one of the most surprising chapters in the history of animal life and contrivance. Varied as are the social habits of the ants, it is generally considered that the social bees surpass them in one particu- lar namely, their mode of storing sup plies of winter food, the storehouses of ant-food having no contrivance similar in ingenuity to the honeycomb, with its supply of the sweets of life. But the truth is that certain tribes of ants are well aware of the value of ma lures sweetmeats as articles of food, and have developed mode of storing up their winter honey still more curious than that practised by the bees. They possess, in fact, what may he called living honeycombs, perambulatory cells filed with distilled sweetness. We refer to the honey-bearing ants of New Mexico, concerning which some very interesting facts have been brought to light. Rev. DIR. McCook Of Philadelphia, a noted observer of ants and ant-lite, has been interviewing these honey-bearers, and his results differ so widely from the ordidary facts of insect instinct that they cannot but prove of general interest. These ants had been previously known only in New Mexico, but he discovered them in Colorado, inhabiting the local ity known as the "Garden of the Gods" E" their nests being excavated in the stony crests of
