"We call the Doodle Bug* np any time we have a mind," aaid some little girls to me one day when I was teaching school in Western Virginia. " Doodle Bugs ?" said I. " I uever heard of sucli things." " Would you like to see then ?" asked ones/ "Most assuredly," I answered. Then the little girl led me forth to the ruins of au old log school-house, rootless and floorless, and, joining hands, they squatted npou the ground, forming a ring, and began chanting in the most musical tones they c uKI command: " ('net? Ikxxile, I nch- Iknxiie, I neif Do-o-dle But/* 1 looked on in astonishment, for I conld see nothing but hard baked earth. There seemed not a living thing visible ; bat the children kept up their chant some three or four minutes, when I noticed the ground l>egan to heave in little spots and tiny heals peeped out, soon followed by half or the whole body of a dirt colored beetle. When the children stopped singing the little tilings scampered back into their hole*. This struck me as very singular. But then we are constantly meeting with strange things in Bugdom. It is like fairv land if we onlv become interested There are many, many kinds of beetle* called colcopteruu* insects, because they have wing cases; that is they have shells or cases on their backs, nnder which they fold their wings, some kinds using them so very seldom that we wonld never know that they had wings. A great many live under ground, and others on the trees, flowers and grain. Indeed, there is scarce a plaoe where you may not find them. All of you know that the ugly cater piller becomes a butterfly, but some of yon may not know that nearly every worm yon can find, turns out some day to be a creature with wings. Almost every child who has lived in the country has noticed, and perhaps been very much amused with the Bill Chafer, or Tumble Bug, as we call it here in Sew Jersey. How they seem to be playing Vith marbles right in the middle of the road on hot, dusty days ' How they push and tumble, and get their jackets all dusty in their efforts ' Sometimes it takes two or three beetles to roll their ball up an elevation or ovei some impediment in the war. Did you never wonder what all such work meant, or did yon suppose it was just the way those bugs have of amusing themselves ? I can remember when I thought so myself. But after I became older I began to wonder where the bugs got the balls, what they were made of, and what they were going to do with them. I have since found it out, snd it is all very interesting. They make the balls out of the excre tions of animals, in which they deposit an egg, leaving it in the sun until it is baked almost as hard as a marble; then begins their work. They toil and strug gle until they get the ball* three feet under ground. Then the little one is left in its spherical home from early September until the next apnng, as warm and cozy as yon please, growing larger and larger nntil it bursts from its shell, a little worm with six legs, snd creeps up to the surface of the ground; or, as some say, they remain in the balls until they become chrysalidt, and come ont beetles or tumble bugs, ready to be gin tumbling and pushing like their mothers before them.— A. F. C. Ander son. An Interesting tiroup of Matikejs. Writing of fonr .chimpanzees on ex hibition in New York, the Evening Post, of that city, nays : A more inter esting group of animals it would be diffi cult to imagine, although the thought ful spectator can scaroely help feeling a little uncomfortable when he looks upon these creatures BO like and yet so unlike man. The oldest of the chim panzees is nine years old, the others are four years younger. The nine-year older is three feet high, his younger fellowß are a foot shorter, but do not think any the less of themselves on that account. They look like a lot of very old men, wizened and shrivelled by the lapse of two or three centuries, but with the glittering eyes and agility of youth. They teaze each other just like children and cry when they are croas or hurt in tones that are atartlingly human. Their affection for their keeper is ridiculous. They cry if floes not pay attention to them, and at a word from him leap into his arms and nestle closely to his breast Their caresses are grotesque but fervent, and it is scarcely too much to say that they behave as if they knew that they were orphans in a strange land and utterly dependent upon the kindness of their captors. They eat very much the same kind of food as human children. Their bill of fare in dud s sago, bread and honey, dry bread, rice and tea, and other dishes well known in the nursery. But they are not gross enough to eat meat, al though some of them may have lived among cannibals. But then a cannibal monkey would have to eat monkey, and although a few travelers have asserted that roast ape is good, it is to be noted that no one ever eats it if he can get anything else.

Mr. Smiley, the undertaker, got it into his head tne other day, that his eye sight was not what it used to be, and that a pair of spectacles would be bene ficial to him as well as to make him look more venerable. So he proceeded to Mr. Karat's jewelry store, in the next block, to purchase the desired article. The obliging Mr. K— displayed his whole stock of spectacles for Lis cus tomer's inspection. Mr. Smiley would try on a pair, elevate his head, then lower it, then look over the tops ot them, meanwhile holding a newspaper before him. One pair was for younger eves (so he said); another pair was for older eves, and so on until he hail tried on all of Mr. Karat's spectacles. Not one pair could he find that was Buited to his sight Now the patient Mr. Karat was at times fond of a joke, and informed Mr. Smilev that be had a pair that he used himself sometimes, and be might try them on, and perhaps they wonld suit him. Mr. took from the drawer a pair minns the glasses, and after carefully wiping them inside and out, adjusted them over Mr. Smiley's pro boscis. After going through the usual per formance with his head, Mr. Smiley said : '* Why, they seem better. I can see as well with them as I could without them twenty years ago. I'll take these.

French lisle thread gloves are long, and have the stocking finish upon the arm. 9 "Strapped" shoes, with the French heel, are the favorite summer ebons sure.

All kinds of trimmings of the material are fashionable this season—side pleat ings, box pleatings. knife-blade pleat ingß, shirrings, puffs, ruffles, fionuces, shell and leaf trimmings, and pipings. What Kills. In the school, as in the world, far more rust out tliau wear out. Btndy is most tedious and wearisome to those who study least Drones always have the toughest time. Grumblers make poor scholars, and their lessons are uniformly "hard" and "too long." The time and thought expended in shirking would be ample to master their tasks. Hloth, gormandizing and worry kill their thou sands, where overstudy harms one. The curse of heaven rests on laziness and gluttony. By the very constitution of our being they are fitted to beget that torpor and despondency which chill the blood, deaden the nerves, enfeeble the muscles, and derange the whole vital machinery. Fretting, fidgeting, ennui and anxiety are among the most oommon causes of disease. On the other hand, high aspiration and enthusiasm help digestion and respiration, and send an increased supply of vital energy to all parts of the bodv. Courage and work invigorate the wfiole system, and lift one into a purer atmosphere, above the reach of contagion. The lazy groan most over Aeir "arduous duties," while earnest workers talk little about the exhausting labors of their profession. Of all crea tures, the sloth would seem to We the most worried and worn. A* 01.D-time advertisement. Tkr I rtrlnv t'erelafce* fc ■ i'eeeir* Wlerr Srirnii Vests la*.

Solid Rock as a Conductor of Sound The Virginia City (Nov.) Enterprise says: It now appears from an official statement made by Mr. Sutro, that the header of the Hutro tunnel was 1,193 feet distant from the point where it will strike the Savage incline. The state ment is undoubtedly correct, yet the workmen in the Savage, at the 2,000 level, are able to hear the steam drills used in the tunnel header so distinctly that all have heretofore believed the faoe of the tunnel to be no further away than three huudred feet. It was thought im possible that the drills could be heard to a greater distance through solid rock. At the combination shaft they now say that thoy were able to hear blasts fired in the header of the Bntro tunnel when it was 1,200 feet distant. Afterward, when the tnnnel was opposite to the shaft, they heard nothing of the blasta, nor could the men at work in the tunnel hear those fired in the shaft, and Hutro finally sent to inquire if they had dis continued work. It is supposed that the stratification and hardness of the rock have much to do with the facility with which it is traversed by sound. Hard rock nodoubtoonveys sound to a greater distance than that which in decomposed and mixed with clay. Sound would also be likely to follow the stratification. Of late the header of the Hutro tunnel has been in much harder rock than that through which it passed when in the neighborhood of the combination shaft. At that point, indeed, the ground found, both in the shaft and tunnel, was of the kind called " heavy," being wet, spongy and much inclined to swell.

Shortly be fore this, having tired of the emu pan*, ins heard ou every eide b.tween lus foruier laborious calling end poverty and hia present pros(>eritr and t-asc, Tweed had applied for admission hi the liar, and preeented himself, one .lay for examination. Then ensued as fan-nxal a proceeding as can well lie imagined tu connection wiUi an augnst tribunal. In a pnvatc ehamlier in the court house he met his examiners, thus eludiug the carious eyes and ears of the crowd of lawyers and other eiUxeus gathered in the court-room by the news of his pres ence there. Two or three trivial qnea- Ums were propounded, and as many an swers returned for form's sake—the whole interview it is said, having Isreu prepared beforehand 'like a scene in a play. This ceremony over he was duly swuru and admitUxt to practice. It is doubtful whether, in all his career as a lawyer, he ever learned even the title* of a doaen legal treatise*, let alone any knowledge of their contents. 11l the autumn of 1871 the citizen* of New York city, irrespective of partv, rose iu revolt agamst this wbolaaale robbery, ami at a ma— meeting held in Cooper lustitute apjKiiuteil a "Commit tee of Seventy," comprising some of the leading memlH-r* of tlie community, to take ciiarge of the approaching munici pal political can vac* iu behalf of the taxpayers, and to devise menus of bring ing the perpetrators of the recent frauds to justice. Suits were accordingly in stituted in both the civil and the crimi nal branches of the Supreme Court, Tweed tieing a leading defendant in each case. In tlie mean time the elections of November. 1871, were Iteld and Tweed was elected by his Sixth ward ixinstit uents to the Senate by a very large ma jonty over O'Donovan Rosea, the can didste of the Committix* of Seventy, lie never took his *eat, however; public sentiment being too strong to make such a coarse advisable. On the 30th of January. 1873, the great malefactor was flr*f brought to tnal, but the jury diaagreed. Iu No vember of the same rear he was found guilty on a criminal charge of fraud, the indictment containing twelve counts, and the penalty on each of which was im prison merit for one year and a fine of one thousand dollars. In the opinion of Judge Davis who tried the case, these Sienaltiea were cumulative, and the de eudant was accordingly sentenced to imprisonment for twelve vear* and fined sl2,fi&o. The Supreme Court, a* a con sequence of his conviction, disbarred him. Tlie sentence was reviewed on ap peal and decided to lie excessive, and he was brought back from lilaekwell's Island only to be rearrest**! and cad in to Ludlow Street Jail. (>n the Island he had lieen treated with uncommon consideration, part of the time living in the hospital as an iuvalid, and never given any but the lightest and moat comfortable work to do. It was on his admission to tlie prison that he matte his famous auswers to the two questions always propounded to convicts: "Oc cupation?" "Statesman." "Religion?" " None." While in nominal confinement in Lud low street he reallv hail almost as much liberty as if he had been ont on hail, being permitted to go about whore he chose,so long as a sheriff's officer accom panied him. In this wav he made re peated visits to his family, and on the 4th of Deoemlier, 1875, having excused himself for a moment from his keeper's sight while calling at his house at the corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-third street, he disappeared, tola- heard of no more for noarlv a year. In Heptemlier, 187(1, the United States government reeoivod iuformstion from Vigo, a seaport of Spain, which led to the belief that Tweed had been appre hended there. The American mau-of war Franklin was accordingly aent to bring liira away, international comity taking for this occasion the place of an extradition treaty, (hi his arrival in this city he was returned to Ludlow Street jail, and a summary prohibition was put upon future excursions thence. In response to all question a, he persistent) v declined to tell how he had eecapctf, merely exonerating his keepers from any underhand share in the mutter. Shortly, however, there appeared in Jfaritrr'e Weekly an illustrated account of his escape, wanderings in exile, eaptnre and return, said to have lieen worked up from materials furnished by himself. The truth of this narrative has never been conclusively proved or disproved, although it has given rise to much con troversy. Tlio events of Tweed's Inter life in Lndlow street, the frequent negotiations for his release, the charges and counter charges of had faith that have paaaed between his counsel and the prosecuting offioers, are fresh in the public mind, and do not call for rehearsal here. An Immense Concern. Everybody knows that the Pacific Mills, of Lawrence, Mass., arc the larg est manufacturing cor|M>ratioii in Amer ica, but many are not aware how vast the establishment is. Its eleven mills and buildings contain forty-one acres of flooriug, ami give employment to over 6,000 hands. The mills contain 136,000 cotton spindles, 26,000 worsted spindles, and 4,500 looms. They use 110,000 pounds of cotton and 65,000 pounds of wool per week, printing or dyeing in that time upwards of 1,000,000 yards of cloths. The motive jxiwer of the mam moth establishment is contributed by fifty steam boilers, thirty-seven steam engines and eleven turbine water-wheels. The total sales from the Pacific Mills of late years have frequently Hggrgat od 66,000,000 yards per annum—sufficient to furnish three or four yards of cloth for every woman mid girl in the United States. lIYItKOI'IIOHU.

Artificial flower* were flmt made by Italian*, and were, at beet, rlumay mu tations. The flower*. made of ribbon* of variuti* color*. gathered op, twiatcd together, *U(I fastened to wire litem*, very remotely reeetubled what they were intended to imitate; and at moat, were rude and uuaatiafectory copie* of the perfect, lovelv and delicate creation* of natnre. In tlie coorwe of time featiier* were brought into UM for the purpuae; and for aecuraig the *hapo* of the petal*, leaven and other portioya of tlie anato my of plant*, were found mnch more convenient and available than ribbons. A difficulty, however, presented itaelf In their ref u*al to take the color* ueocaaary for the correct imitation of flower*, and further than what wan accomplished *t tlie time, out of the plumage of highly colored bird*, there waa littl* progreaa effected toward the result deaired. For manv vcarn the Italian* were unrivalled in the'manufacture of flower*, but have found more than anocesaful oampetition in their work from their French neigh bor*; while in oar country it ha* become an important internet, especially in cer tain cities. From the plumage of the native bird*, the *avage*of South Amer ica have long lxen acquainted with the procmaof artificial flower making; and curioo* aud attractive apcctmen* of tliis handiwork are frequently brought to na bv travelera. Superstition Sooth of the Equator. Then* are three groat divisions of the Iml tan family residing in the parts of Honth Ameriea which lie south of the Equator; but though differing in lan guage, customs, and manners, tliey all belong to the Aryan branch, and most probably rm across in unnierons migrations from Central Asia by the Straits of Beliring. With regard to religion, they believe in two gods. The first is <-allot by some Ptllan; by others, Cnohanciatrn, or " the groat god." He is snppoeed to l>ear the human form, but can make himself invisible. He is the creator of the world and antlior of all that is good. The Indians never oasemble to worship him; he is sup posed to lie oontent with the respect given to him in the heart of every indi vidual. The oilier god is " the spirit of evil." known as (1 nabob n; to him every sacrifice and offering is made to propiti ate his wicket! designs. Not only do the l'ampa Indians lieliove in the immortal ity of the soul, but also in the doctrine of metempsychosis; hence when burying their dead, 'they always sacrifice over the grave the favorite horse of the dead man, end place beutfcth the tnmulna the war rior's arms. The ( assail u Plant. The onasada ia a farinaceous plant, well known in all inter-tropical coun tries. The slips are stuck into the satu rated soil, an.l grow very readily. The root ia elongated, and when npe, may be 1 Kill. si or planted, and eaten aa the jxitnto, or it mav be grated and dried hi to starch or floor. Tliin, ronnd cakes of casanda bread are often bikini and eaten. Tapioca and a sjieoies of furiua are made from the casssda. The banana tree is a succulent plant, filled with cells containing water. It grows ten to twelve feet in bight, and fnrni the top of of the tree go fotfh half a dozen green, smooth leaves, six feet long and a foot brosd, curving downward with a strong midrib ruining through the middle. An individual tree yields only one buncli of fruit, ami then dies or is cut down ; but from around its roots have sprung up, perhaps, as many as a dozen shoots to " bring forth fruit in due sewaon." Fnm thin peculiarity it comes to pass that in a comparatively short time a grove of hananati, if left alone or encouraged, will cover over many acres of ground, with hundreds or more ot ripe or utirips bunches.

IT ■ was accustom ed to hawk his goods, ..ad it is conjec tures! that there was a separate trade for annexing the sole*. The Romans, in classical times, wore cork sole* in their nil oca, to secure their feet from water, especially u> winter, and, aa high heels were not then introduced, tbe Roman ladies, who wished to appear taller, put plenty of cork under them. The streets of Rome, in the time of Domitian, were blocked up by cobblers' stalls, which he, therefore, canned to be removed. In the middle ages shoes were cleaned by washing with a sponge and oil; a<*p and grease were the substitutes for blacking. Buck lea were worn <>n the slices in the fourteenth century. In Ireland a hu man skeleton was found with marks of buckles on the shoes. In England they became fashionable many Tears before the reign of Queen Mary. the laboring classes wore them of copper. Other per sons liad them of silver or copper gilt Not long after shoes rosettes came in. Buckles revived before tlie Revolution ; iu4789. and finally became extinct before the rlose of the eighteenth century. Experiments With Flower*, Some most interesting experiment* have of late years lieen made in crossing or hybridising flowers, and with much success. So far as can be ascertained, it is not necessarv that the flowers on both parent stems should be as nearly as pos sible in the same stage of advancement. It has been found that the pollen mav be kept for any reasonable period, and when there is a store of pollen it is only neces sary that the Stigma should be properly developed—that ia, #esh, and covered with its mnoous secretion. A consider able quantity of the applied pollen should lx> used, it beiug less active than the natural pollen of the plant. There must be a near reoemblance, an accord ance in general structure and affinity between the plants to lie crossed. Home are more difficult to cross than othera. It is not to be expected thst every in stance of attempting to impregnate flowers will be successful. The number of fertile seeds is usually smaller in cases of crossing, than is natural to the particular kinds of plants. Crossed plants are more luxuriant, and produce larger flowers than those not crossed. ' Curiou* Animal Incursion*. A curious incursion on the sheep runs of two brothers in Australia ia described by a correspondent: These gentlemen lived hundreds of milea apart, and I understand the misfortunes here re counted occurred within a abort time of each other. One brother hail an incur sion of myriads of kangaroos, which came close around his house, so that a man could not make for it without ac tually jostling the brutes.
