fort of a buslielman's situation is, that
although there inay .vuhtclimrB be a lit
tle play, yet often, cirg often, he is over
whelmed with work—work very ill
assorted, and still more ill-timed—for
when other employees maybe recreating
and enjoying a relaxation from labor,
his labors may be prolonged halal,, the
night., and often on ,S'uturarry nil/hl, too
—a night above all others in the week,
on which the journeyman tailor has cul

very earliest days of his apprenticeship.

the greatest, /error to the bushelman,

We confess our• entire inability to tell
from whence, or from what circum
stance, the term hash,/ or ItBhelmart,
110 applied to a department of tailoring,
has been derived, and perhaps few or
none others can. We found it there,
and have given its import. it has been
so long and so universally in use among
tailors, that it is a matter of some sur
prise it has not got into our dictionaries.
Bushing is a process common among
gunsmiths—and some other artisans—
or was common, when the " old flint
lock" was yet in use. When the prime
hole of a gun was " burnt out," and be
came too large, the hole was " drilled
out," as screw-cut, and a solid piece of
iron screwed in, through which a new
prime-hole was drilled, and this was
called " bushing." hushing, is also ap
plied to a circle of metal let into the
"sheaves" of such " blocks" as have
iron pins, to prevent their wearing, and
the same word is applicable to a like
circle in other round-holes, as the key
hole of a watch, and also the wheels of
vehicles, where it is more generally
called a box, or boxing. The term lomhel
itself, is applied to a dry measure con
taining eight gallons, and was perhaps
derived from the Norman bu,s(l, which
means a little box. The, term may have
crept into tailoring, in some sense, anal
agous to its use in gunsmithing, for
mending, or repairing garments, by sew
ing in a new piece of cloth, or otherwise
was also called busheling a garment.
I'mt among tailors, there were also
many facetious and figurative applica•
tions of the term bushel, and busheling.

middle-aged, and dressed in black.
" Is this lady yourinother:."' imluircd
the magistrate.
"Oh, no, nit'!" this in the lady I de

but on which for the moment gleamed
a sort of icy smile.

The magistrate was inn quandary.
He didn't know exactly what to do.
He hated to sacrifice the youth, and
join the bright-faced May to the gloomy,
icy December. "Isn't this rather a
strange union he asked.
" Not at all," replied the expectant
bride. "I have a large amount of prop
erty which I desire to leave this young
man. As I have relatives who might
dispute the will were Ito give it to him
as a legacy, I prefer to marry him."
"Are you content to marry this wo
man for her money?" asked the justice.
Well, I wouldn't marry her for any

Intelligence of Ants
Each species of ants live in a social
community by themselves, in ant hills,
and is composed of males anti females,
who are provided with wings; and
workers, who have no wings. The
males anti females, of which there is a
great number, havillif 111/thing to do but
to enjoy themselves and multiply their
species. The wingless workers do all
the necessary in-and-out-of-door busi
ness; they build their habitation, or
ant-hill, of earth, pine-wood leaves,
and woody fibres, with which they also
manufacture their subterranean caverns;
they feed the young ones, and carry tile
cocoons front one place to another with
their barge jaws, the instruments with
which they perform all their work.—
The niagot white, without feet, has
Ily, brown head, toid is fed like a
little irti by a worker, and after• a few
weeks. , owth spins a white cocoon.
All ants are benumbed during the
winter, and lie immovable in their sub
terranean abodes, without taking any
kind of food. In the ,1111111,Vr, however,
their food is various. They eat all kinds
of fruit, dead as well a , living insects,
honey, 111111 1/1.11,r sweet juices,
principally that, of plant-lice, called
honey-dew, which exudes from their
bodies without d oing them :my injury.

Put the closet oliscrvation:have been
made, and the most wonderful ido—
ls) nena have been witnessed, when the
tint-hills have been placed under a glass
box, where all their movements could
be distincly watched. 'lllO high degree
of intelligence which these little crea
tures display under such circumstances
has never failed to excite the wonder
and admiration or every observer.
Looking at the ants through such a
glass, we see here and there it female,
accompanied by some of the workers,
running along dropping her eggs,
which are immediately taken up by
her attendants and carried away. These
eggs are of un OVA t'ollo, milk-white
very small, and opaque; butt by and by
they become larger, growing, like the
eggs of the gall-wasp, anti then they tie
conic transparent, when a 1,1:11 . k spot
may be seen in the centre of each,
which is the embryo of the future mot.
'lllO5O eggs will all dry up and perish if
the WOl I:,rs are removed; for, in order
to be ilcvrAtTutl, they must be continu
ally moistenod with the saliva of the
worker; nod so even ill insect lire, tile
sweat or the laborer becomes the source
of plenty and prosperity. With this
nourishing care the eggs teen' with life,
and In about two weeks the maggot is
hatched, which Is tramepareht , but
without feet or auk rune.
The ants are proverbially an industri
ous race; and when the first rays of the
morning sun fall upon the ant-hill
those on the outside run hastily within,
rousing the slumberers, touching all
those that are inside the hill with their
antennte, pressing and pushing them
until the whole population is in motion.
'the lazy ones and those that move too
slow are seized with the jaws and car
ried up to the top of the hill, as well as
the maggots and papie of the nurseries,
where they are all exposed to the still's
rays about a quarter of an hour, after
which they are carried down under the
first stratum and there fed.
We may receive still greater evidence
of their intelligence if we observe their
language or signs. If the ants on the
outside of the hill are disturbed by
strange ants, part of them will at once
put themselves in an offensive and de
tensive position,l while others will im
mediately run into.the hill and alarm
the se within, who then come rushing
out to assist their brethren in attacking
the foe, while the guardians of the nur
series carry the maggots and pupae to
the lowest part, of the ant-hill for
greater security.
So, if one hut discovers a closet where
there are sweet articles, such as fruit or
sugar, it quickly returns to its fellows
for the purpose of acquainting them of
its discovery, and in a very short time
whole swarms of them will arrive with
the discoverer to divide the spoils. They
go out in companies, also, to drink, of
which they arc very fond; but if one of
them is disturl , cd in su doing he com
municates the fact to all the rest by
pushing the one nearest him, who paw
ea ou the news i uthe same way to all
the rest, when all receiving the sign
run to the hill ; but if any one is nut at
tentive to such admonition, he is seized
by the leg and dragged to the hill. In
general, they give signs to one another
in all their operations by their angular
or elbowed antenna% v.-11M' work some
what like the old French telegraph.—
With their antennae they also express
their friendship and love, as we may see
when we observe them caressing one
another, or their friends the plant-live

Exploftion at a Powder•3llll
An explosion of some eight or ten kegs
of powder took place at Johnson's powder
situated near the Baltimore turnpike,
about ono mile and a half from York, on
Wednesday afternoon, between three and
four o'clock. The only damage sustained
was the , blowing-off of the roof from the
building. The powder was in a crude
state, and therefore, had not as much force
as if It had gone through the various pro
cesses of its final preparation. The explo
sion is said to have been mused through
the friction of the machinery.—York Press.

For some time past we have had rumors
of a secret movement among a number of
our influential citizens, having for its object
to take a hand in the politic of this county
and State, and ultimately, it is understood,
of the nation. This affair has been brew
ing for inure than a year past, and yester
day it had reached a stage at which It was
deemed expedient to issue a public procla •
, mation. The account of these proceedings,
in their mature shape, as published by one
of the participants, is as follows:
The first meeting was held Saturday,
March 11, and was attended by about
' twenty leading Republicans. A commit
' tee of live was appointed to draft a decia
: ration of principles. Judge Stanley Mat
' thews, Judge George badly, George It.

ick Ilassimrek were appointed the com
mittee. Their report was made and adopt
ed Saturday, March 15. din Tuesday a eon

was elected President by acclamation. and
Judge Iloadly Chairman of the Exeentive
Committee. Judge iloadly, Lewis F. Milk
and Frederick 11 a...saurek, were appointed
I a committee to nominate remaining
eers, to be elected next Saturday.
It is proposed to have an Advisory Com

are CO be made, and the organization is to
be as effective and extensive as possible,

in preserving the Union, abolishing slavery
and establishing the political equality of all

united efforts and in tluence of the following
views and principles, which it is our ear
nest conviction should lie adopted by the
ltepulilican party for its future guidance:
1. We believe the further cootie Lunn, of
the policy of disfranchisement to be incom
patible with a proper regard for tile funda
mental principles of republican govern
ment and sound statesmanship ; and while
unalterably determined to maintain the
great results Of the war, we insist that its
eninities and resentments shall be buried
that all remaining causes of irritation shall
be removed, and that all political
ities imposed for participation in the rebel
lion shall be abolished.
'. We believe that to defray the expenst
Of the government, to pay the interest on
the national debt, and the principal as it
shall front time to time become due,n con
siderable portion of the public reventlet ,
should be derived from ditties out imports,
but that such duties should be imposed for
revenue and for no other purpose. Weal e
opposed to the present system of protective
duties. It is unjust and wrong in principle,
and defeats it-s own ends in practice. It is
at war with every principle of equality. and
In:dive on which the Repilblic.an party was
founded. It promotes corruption in legisla
tion and plunder in high places, It ha.
needlessly and heavily increased the cost of
living, crippled our export trade, destroy e.l
our shipbuilding, and paralyzed our indus
try. It has Created scorn us monopolies,
augmented the expenses of collecting the
revenue, encouraged smuggling, stimuli,
ted frauds and dishonesty in custom
houses, and so increased the cost of produc
tion as to enable foreign manufacturers to
undersell us in our own markets. We are
willing to be taxed for the support of the
government, but we protest .against being
taxed for the benefit of private individuals
and ec,rpOrationS, and we further protest
against making the shroud of the old Whig
party the mantle of Republicanism. We
therefore demand that tariff duties be so
adjusted as to derive the requisite revenue
from the smallest possible number or tax

We are opposed to the employment or

boundless resources, and revenues in ex

through which We have pivsed, we can see
no exc u se for endangering the publie

duty of the Republican party to take initi

to gold and silver as the only true basis of

Animated by an abiding, convietion that
those views will slimier or later be vindica

the American people, we present them to
our fellow-citizens fir their deliberate and

he was overtaken by a stranger, who re
luctantly gave him permission to ride.—
They had proceeded but a few miles when
two horsemen approached them and ar
rested them for horse stealing—the very

been stolen the previous evening by his
companion. Here was a dilemma oven for
so skilful a villain as the Professor or

saved him. Persisting that he know noth

being able to pruvo his good character

stolen the jewelry came in, identified the
property found in the wagon and insisted
upon arresting him for this crime. Ruloff
was in no wise abashed. The same confi

The San Domingo discussion being re

Mr. Schurz :Rep. Mo.) resumed the floor,
and proceeded to argue that the annexation
of Texas furnished no precedent or justiti
' cation for the belligerent interference of
the President to protect Santo Domingo
against llayti. One of the leading objects
or the Santo Domingo expedition seemed
to have been to protect pace. from his own
subjects. In this connection he was re
' minded of the statement made yesterday,
by the Senator front NViseonsin J Mr. llowei
that Baez, in the matter of annexation, Was
influenced by purely patriotic and um:elf

bring peace to his countrymen. He Olr.

The Commission find no hnindation for
the statement that. Dominica is Imam! to
Hayti for an indemnity sum to Frain,. No
treaties of any eonsequenee exist between
Dominica anti other powers. The only set
tled boundary between Hayti and Sun Do-

of 1777. When the Ilaytiens were tithe',
Mil nit the east part nit the Island, then, re
-11-4 disputed territory, a considera
ble extent east of the old boundary. 'finis
is still in dispute. Dl' this the Ilaytiens
held in prautically constant control the
towns of San Itafitel, San Miguel and Los
Can Las.
The Minya Valley, east of theme, and
Neyba district have been alternately over
run by both parties. The claim of Ilayti
to the boundary of the I /etfrard map,
which is the meridian through Alta Vela,
Is regarded as preprimterous. The extent
of territory within the old limindary of
1777 is found by new and careful computa
tion to be 4212 square hullos. The portion
of this Republic referred to an having been
mainly in Baytien occupancy, is about
10,000 square miles.
The Dominican government was found
willing to agree to the terms of the treaty
as now concluded, but not ratified, and for
the only change think it fair that on ac
count of the great and unexpected expense
of the government attending the delay, that
the sum paid for Samana, and now due, be
not deducted in the final settlement. It
was also agreed by Dominica that one-fifth
of the public lands should be set aside for
school p urposcs, provided the United States
would grant three hundred thousand acres
for an agricultural college.
