New JloitUx.
Some writers seem to fancy there is something
in a name, at any rate as far as regards a work
of fiction. Perhaps they think that readers are
attracted by a title, like plebeian millionaires.
We shall not he surprised if, before the year be
over, the following new works are announced as
being "nearly ready" for the public:

Said Mr. C .a Presbyterian minister of
some notoriety. "I never laughed in the jmlpit
only on one occasion, and that came near pro
curing my dismissal I rom the ministry. Atone
of the fir-t discoiir-cs I was called to deliver,
subseiiicnt to my ordination, after reading; my
text and opening my subject, my attention was
directed to a youni: man with a very foppish
dress and a head of exceeding red hair. In a
slip immediately behind this young gentleman
eat an urchin, who must have been urged on in
his deviltry by the. Kvil One himself, for I do
not conceive the youngster thought of the jest
he was playinir off on the spruced dandy in
front of him. The boy held his forefinger in the
red hair of the young man about as long as a
blacksmith would a nail rod in the fire to heat,
and then on his knee, commenced pounding his
finger in imitation of a smith in making a nail.
The whole thing was mi ludicrous that I laughed,
the only time that 1 ever disgraced the pulpit
with anything like mirth."

A good man. but ili instructed, out West, had
a eall to preach. Uc'mg unable to read, he em
ployed a Iricnd to l ead the selection I rom the
!Sci iptures. On one occasion the chapter wa the
twenty-second of Ocuesis, which contains these
words: '"These eight did Mileahbear to Nahor,
Abram's brother." From these words he pro
ceeded as follows: "lirethren and sisters, let us
consider our blessings. We have all the com
forts of life. We have flocks and herds, and
gladness. Morning and evening our wives and
daughters milk the cows, and our wants are all
supplied. In the days of old Abram the case
was different: for then, as you have heard, it
took eight to milk a bear, and they didn't get
much at that. '

A foppish nobleman, who saw Descartes en

None Imt those who have travelled on the
Upper Amazons can have any idea of the
number and voracity of the insect torments
which work their wicked will on the bodies of
the unfortunates exposed to their attacks.
There is a liy which burrows in the skin
and deposits an egg, both in human beings
and animals. This produces a maggot,
similar in shape to that of the common blow
fly, but much larger. Of course, inflamma
tion in the part, followed by suppuration and
discharge or extraction of the foreign body,
take place. Although the maggot is probably
analogous to tho Guinea worm, it differs from
it in being always discharged entire, whereas
tho Guinea worm requires very careful ami
gradual extraction.
Then there are 'chigos, which burrow
mostly in tlie soles of tho feet. You feel an
intense itching, and on examination, liiul a
little thing like a pea just under tho epider
mis; this is tho bag containing the young
chigos, whieh must bo carefully picked out
with the point of a knife, and the cavity left
tilled with tobacco. ash. It is said that if tho
l ag is broken, and tho young chigos escape,
serious consequences will result. This, how
ever, we do not believe, as we have broken
many in the act of extracting them from
our own feet; but always using plenty of
obaeeo-ash, we never experienced any in
convenience. Huge Kpiders abound, whose
very appearance inspires a wholesome
dread of a nearer Hcijuuintancc, but whieh
are harmless enough if let alone. In fact, on
board our steamers, almost every cabin was
tenanted by one lnrgo spider, whose presence
was tolerated on account of his being a deadly
foe to cockroaches, which abominable crea
tines used to swarm on board. Sometimes he
would not bo visible for a fortnight or more
at a time; but ho would leave tokens that he
was "all there," in tho shape of the empty
husks of cockroaches, from which he had care
fully abstracted the interior. Those spiders
have the power of springing upon their prey
from a distance, and some of them are so large
and powerful as to kill and devour small
birds.
In passing through the narrow forest paths,
it is necessary to be on the lookout for tho
wood-licks, which are very ditlienlt to get rid
of, if once firmly attached; also for the. huge
black ants, an inch and a half in length, with
stings like a hornet's; and the scuba ant.
without sting, but armed with nippers like a
pair ol surgical bone-loreeps, winch are run
ning about everywhere. One may sometimes
chance upon a column of the dreaded 'lire
ants,' marching in regular military order; and
if you do, 'the only tiling is to bolt at. once, for
neither man nor beast may withstand the lire
ant and live. Occasionally one reionrkt the
slender form of a tree-snake 'liding nwav, or
tho deadly 'tueu-riju' basking in a sunny
spot: while from out the mossy root-, of the,
great trees, ipinint little horned frogs peer at
you and startled lizards patter away over tho
dead leaves. When at length you stop to
rest, take care to examine your camping
ground, lest yon lind thai centipede or scor
pion may fancy the same locality.
I reipuntly on board our st anier both cen
tipedes and scorpions would be killed, inu'o
dueed no doubt in the wood used for fuel.
One day, us we were watching the hands
taking wood from canoes alongside, from one
of the logs pitched on board was dislodged a
scorpion, which fell on the naked left a in of
a limn keeping tally at the gangway. Aston
ished by his sudden flight through the air, tho
animal remained perfectly still. The man
never moved a muscle, and quietly raisin;,' his
right hand dipped it away with his fingers and
thumb. It was very neatly and coolly
done: and he thus escaped a sting
which he no doubt would have re
ceived had he tried to brush it hastily
away. Ants are a horrid plague, both afloat
and ashore. Jt is amusing to see a host of
unall ants carrying off the body of a defunct
cockroach, giving one the idea of mice depart
ing' with a dead elephant, lint they are a
great nuisance. They will nor, however,
walk over cotton wool: and anything placed
on or enclosed by it is safe from them. The
saubii unls arc, we think, tho greatest depre
dators of any. They form regular communi
ties, where each individual, workers, sol
diers, etc., has his own especial line
of duty, and are great excavators.
Mr. Hates, in his work the "Naturalist on
tho Amazon," has given a very capital de
scription of these ants; but wo fancy he has
omitted to mention fhe extremely pungent
aromatic smell they, or at least their nests,
possess. Tho ants are extremely destructive
to cacao plantations, stripping tho trees of
their leaves; they will carry away a largo
basket of grain in a single night, should any
of them come across it. A migration takes
place sometimes from the parent stock, some
of tho ants becoming winged and flying oil'.
Few, however, escape the Indians, who are
alwayson the watch for these migrat ions, and by
whom thescjwinged ants are considered rather
; a hmthi liouelti . They catch and stuff' them
: into bottles, occasionally lightening the work
by pulling fhe wings oil' one, and devouring
him alive. We never had the. courage to
taste one, although we have partaken of
inii ny strange dishes. . '.Monkey' and -parrot'
: are both good, 'tapir' and 'manatee' not bad,
I and peccary A I: but we never ate a sun bit
I ant: nor could we ever taste a drink much
' affected by the Indians, and called 'massato,"
of whieh there is generally a large jar stand
j iug in tho corner of every Indian dwelling.
They always offer it to visitors; but their
j mode of so doing is not inviting, as it eou
! sists in a black or rather copper-colored paw
j being thrust into tho aforesaid jar, which
; contains a sort of pulp, and bringing up a
handful, whieh is squeezed into a ealabadi,
and placed at your disposal. This pulp is,
however, produced by means which, from ua
! willingness to disturb the stomachs of our
t readers, wo refrain from relating. Those ants
1 which escapetheindiansfall a prey to Hocks of
hawks and other birds, w hich make their ap
pearance as soon as ever a migration coin-
jnences.
1 The Upper Amazons are litilo known to
F.nglisl men, and in this article we have en
deavored to describe a few, and but a few, of
the annoyances to whieh the resident theieou
is subject, and which certainly do not aug
ment tho charms of a life otherwise by no
means luxurious. It will probably surprise
niiiliy to hear that one gets very tired of
turtle, lint, such is the fact when it. forms the
basis of every meal; although (and for this
hint we believe ourselves entitled to gastro
nomic gratitude) a young turtle, roasted in
its upper shell, is one of the greatest delica
cies of an Amazonian dinner, and might bo
introduced to civilized palates with much ad
vantage. Vrohiitnm xt.
