their unsuspecting victims. As they

hawk a distinct vieiv of its intended

the axis is elongated by a cuiious
muscular arrangement so as to see far
again. Snails 'lave their keen eyes at
'he extremity of flexible bonis, which
they can piotrude or draw in al pleas-
ure. By winding the instrument
around the edge of a leaf or small
s'ock they can see bow matters staDd
on the opposite side. The hammer

eyes nearly two feet apart. It can bend
the thin edges of the bead on which
the organs are loeate so as to examine
the two sides of an object the size of a

hemispheres, they have an immense
hutitber of facets, resembling old-fa-h-
ioned glass watch sea's, each one di
letting the light direct'v to the optic
retina- That explains why they cannot
be approached in any direction without
seeing what is coming.
Eottom of thé Sea-
Some interesting facts have lalely
been ascertained respecting the con-
dition of life at the- -bottom of the sea.

tion of marine wn:mal«, sp«aksof"an
abyss where' life is eitLer gxtir-gnislieu
or exhibits but a few spaiks to málk
its lingering presence. I s confines are
yet undetermined, and it is, in its ex-
ploration, that the fi est field for ma-
rine diecoveiy yet remains." Some-
thing has been contributed toward the
discovery thus foreshadowed by Dr.
Carpenter and Prof. Wyviile TLomps-
too, who have recently been engaged
in deep sea dredgingthe bed of the
North Atlantic, having, been furnished
with 8.-hip fqr'tbe.purpose by the

Don't Let Mother Do It.

Through the long, bright Summer hours
Share with her the heavy toil.
See, her eye has lost its brightness,
Faded from her check the glow,
And the step that ODce was buoyant,
Now is fecbie, weak and slow.
Daughter, don't let mother do it 1
She has cared for you so long.
Is it right the weak and feeble
Should be toiling foi the strong?
Waken from yottr listless languor.
Seek bar side to chcer and bless;
And your grief will he lesc bitter
When the sods above her press.
Daughter, don't let niother do it !
You will never, never know
What were home without a mother
Till that mother lietll low—
Low beueáth the budding daisies,
Free from earthly care or pain—

MISSISSIPPI VALLET—J 874.
The flooded Southland lieth sore and
stricken
'Neath Devastation's gaunt and cursed
chain.
Each hour but eaes the lamine-horrors
thicken
O'er everv home and plain.
The weeping heaven fiercest showers
Bendetb,
Pouring tbeir torrents o'er the beaten
¿oul,
Until the stream its swolen waters lendeth
Harvests to foil.
A widening stretch of surging ocean
sweejieth
Man's slim device to Btay its course
away;
And naught's for him who 'wearying
vigils keepeth
But still to pray.
The poor man's field into a rivar turneth
Where stood his home is now > tori-
rent's path,
And homeless, stricken, still his cry re-
turneth,
God, stay, 0 stay Thy wrath 1
The city's mart is bnt a sweep of waters
< The tides, unchecked, flow o'er where
forests stood—
And each recurring wave new horror
scatters;
God, stay Thy fl ood 1
Destroying Death rides on each wave,
and reaoeth
A sickening harvest—many are the
slain,
"Giver of all good," still the sorrower
wéepeth,
"Softened Thy reign 1"
A lifeless thing sways in yon leafy
brancboa,
- Nor in their confined rests do torms
abide.
While many a Tarnished, 'scapeless being,
launches "
His sottl tipoh the tide.
A swollen corpse adown *yon current
rushes <
And now a sweet babe, wondering-
eyed floa's by— i
Its swaying crib each threatening dangei
brushes,

Upon a prison height a thousand cower.
And see the waters up and upward
leap,
Tearing some poor wretch from his loved
one's power

The fact that hissing is'reckoned.legitimate
at the theatres has led men to choose them
as the place for expressing their public dis-
likes in times of great excitement. Shake-
pea re's Cardinal Wolaey was hissed at the
time of the papal aggression, bnt the hiss #as
not meant for the actor but for Cardinal
Wiseman. Hisses are directed at unpopular
peraons who come as speetatora, and not as
actora. Sir William Knighton saya that
George .VI, always entered tne theatre with
ah excessive dread of being sainted with this
stark of pnblie disapprobation. If he heard
.«be single hiss, although it wérá immediate-
ly drew ned in geneial and tumultuous ap-
.plaqpe, he ,went home wretched, and wpsld

The Grange aiid
We repeat the oft. repealed detilar*-
ration thai the Grange is not a pol.ticat
toil}', and yet llie aims and abiaot ot
the order, with its principles' uiideilie
all true slatesniabxhip. lis vital prin-
ciples are all founded upon the tiueit
and best princip'esof political ecutiomy
and the individual Granger does, not
by l.is membeiship ir. the Grange, pait
any part of his. individuality,' o-
personal identity in a political sense,
ilis d'recl-inte.'^pjvith polines, is in,
and consists ol, his duty in elevating
and purifying his pnrty. In setting
his lace sternly against the almost
universal speculations and corruption of
this po'itical «gp.
Tlie coituption borp of such slupen-
dous frauds as the Credit MobiMer af-
fair. The open and sham®! ss barter of
place, and emolument must seriously
affect the Patron of Husbandry, as it
does any cither holiest citizen, and it is
a sacred part of his implied duty to set
his face sternly against it and other
similar matters, and lo assist uj on po-
litical moial and social purity in the
servants of the people. In this broad
and Calbolic sense the church a .well
as the moral and benevolent institutions
of our land, are political, and il is well
indeed that it is' bo, because but for
these bairiers, we bad sui b long ere
this, beneath the .wave of utur political
debauchery, and bave been parcelled
out among a few pelty chieftains, the
representatives of diffeient schools of
dishonesty and depravity. Nay, indeed,
in this Sight it would be a crime
against society if tbe Grangers or
Farmers of our land refused to be pol-
iticians.
The mission of the true Patron is to
demand lhal faithful discharge of duties
and obligations upon tbe part of tbose
seeking to serve the people, as will in
sure in the futuro, an economic, fair,
honest and efficient administration of
affairs, in which all are alike interested,
ana upon which alone is built tbe true
pr egress of agriculture, manufactures
commerce, and tbe million other in-
terests that owe their existence to those
potent and efficient movers in tbe
world's progress.
A Jealous Girl's Bevenge-
Gild « big knave snd little goriest'
men will wonbip him.
A short lime ago, the Keisacky
sisters, who created a profound sen-
sation iii eastern Europe is graceful
acrobats, were announced to appear on
the tight rope at ihe Taginoff circus, in
Moscow, The circtis was crowded to
'.be utmost, and when the two girls
made tLeir appearance they were
greeted by a perfect storm af applause.
When the last tableau came—consist-
ing of.the roses, all uniting into ont
gigantic flower, .with the two sieleip
seemingly gliding through the. air—tbe
e'der of them, Lovina, suddenly ut
lered a scream of terror, and fell
heavily on tbe stige. When assistance
oarae she wes insensible, and Both her
legs were found to be broken.-' The
cause of tbe accident was at oace as-
certained. Tbe highqpl wire, on which
ahe had stepped immediately before
her fall, had been rent ib twaib. The
mahager said ¿he accident was inexpli-
cable to hito, As the wises bad beetf
thoroughly tested before nightfall.—
Ijpon closer inspection it was fonbd
that the wire must have been cilt, leav-
ing it sufficiehtly connected not' to
snap asunder until the fáir- acrobat bad
stepped upon it.
The discovery led to an investigation
as to who the person was who bad ac-
cess to the wires after they had been
tested in ihe afternoon, and before tbe
beginning of tbe last piece, when they
were dravq across the stage. The in-
jured girl recovered soon enough suffi-
cient consciousness to tell tbe police
officials that, besides herself and her
sister Bradia, no one had been new the
wires eftcept Lina Wográtá, the daugh -
ter of the hotel keeper with whom
they bad stopped. Lina she bad no«
ticed had repeated I jf touched the
wires, and finally asked to tie shown the
one that would bé I be highest. This
wire bad beeti tbe thickest. Lina
Wag. ató had left before tbe close of
performance. An .officer, wss sent for
ber. lie found her at'her father's hotel,
where no one knew yét what bad bap->
pened at tbe circus. Strangely enough,
when the officer asked tie glrl to ac>
oompt ny him to the ...circus, she be-
.came visibly alarmed, and exclafened
repeatedly* •* ! had nothing to do w.tb
i*-", ' .
the officer said nothing until he
arrived w'th her at the oircus, where
she na searched at his suggestion. In
her pocket was found a pair of small,
but very sharp and powerful scissors.
At one point the edges were slightly
ind«ifle>lt and when, the two fragments
of the wire wert> do e y examined where
it was rt nt, were found to correspond
With tliem. Lina Wogratz turned
deadly pale a« she witnessed all these
proceeding", and when confronted with
• he poor acrobat, she burst' into tears,
and confessed ilmtslieiiid silt t!:o wire
because, during the week siuce the Kor«
<.aeky sisters had been at ber father's
hotel, liei (Limi'.-) lover Ivan Kruger,
had seemed to be fasinated with the
e'der^ nf .t' a iw^^jy^o --.i Ladjiande
love to her. In order to revenge herself,
she had resolved to cripple or disfigure
Lovina Korsacky for life. The vounger
sister,, unaware of her intention, bad
told her the dav before what kind of,
s< issors were required to cut the wire."
Lo ina Korsacky recovcrel f om ber
terrible fall aud LinaWogralz was sen-
tenced to s'x year fo'^aiy confinement.
Copy was out. "The '"devil" picked up á
paper and said : "Here's something about a
woman-must I cut ilout?" "Sol" thun«
dered the editor; thé first disturbance ever'
created in the world was occasioned by the
devil fooling abont a woman.
They tell a queer stoiy abont the doctors
tn a certain Texas town, who were all oway
last summer to attend a medical convention.
They were absent about two months, and on
their return found all their patients had re-
covered, the drug stores had closed, the nur-
ses had opened dancing. schools, the ceme<>
tery bad been cut up into building lots, tho
undertakers had gone to making fiddles, and.
tbe hearse had been painted and sold as a
circus wagon.
Á Thrilling Speech.
The following is a literal report of a
speech delivered in . Bowling' courfty,
Ey., by the candidate for the office of
jailor.
Fellow Citizens-*- Where até .my dpi-
ponenta ? Why, gentlemen, they are
nowhere. I feel myself' as much above
my opponents as a possum ;n a persim-
mon tree -does above the ground he
crawls on. I call on you in the name
of tbe shaggy-headed lion, which
whipped the American eagle; I call on
you in the name of the peacock of lib-
erty, which flossed oyer the Rooky
Mountains—to come to mv reseñe.
Come on Monday next, and promote
Dick to the office to which he perspires.
When yon shall have been dead, and
tbe green briers shall have ontwined
themselves abont your graves, then wi)l
your sons come tó me and sa^, Dick,
tome years ago our fathers voted for
you for Ihe office of jailersbip of War-
ren county ; iben will I saj, Boll on,
thou silver moon, I will be with thee
till tbe last day in the evening.
Bees in the United States.—There
are two million bee-hives in tbe U. S.
Every bive yields on an average a little
over twenty-two .pounds of honey.
The average price at which honey is
sold is eighty-five centa a pound, so
that, after paying their own board, the
bees present us with a revenne of$8,-
800,000. To reckou it another way, •
bey make a olear gift of over a pound .
of pure honey to every man, woman
and child in the United States. Over
twenty-three and one third million
pounds of wix are made and given to
ns by these industrious workers. The
keeping of bees" is one of the most
profitable -investments that our peoplé
can make, of their money. The promts
arising from sale of eurplus honety «ver- .
ages from fifty to two hundred per eentl
on the capital invested. ^ "V
Mistaken Identity".—Atraveler was
onoe making a pedestrian tour of thé
Alps, when suddenly, in a narrow path,
be came face to face #ith a large bear;
He drew a revolver,'afed was abont to
when,
«lid out
that the pretended 'bear wa& &~mcn em-
ployed by some guides, who sent him
out dressed in a bear-skin when they
bad a timid trateler to eeoort. At a
preconcerted spot tbe bear would rush
upon them; and when put to flight by
the exertions of the guides, the trave-
ler never failed to reward , their courage
and devotion bj.a handsome prasent,ot
which the beqr received a liberal shaie.
Arkansas is yet in a very bad way.
A gang of horse thieves were recently
surrounded in an unoccupied house,
