A Short Chapter ou \uts.
A correspondent of the New Orleans
Delta, writing from Tehuantepec, gives
the following interesting description of
the wondrous works of these l»iuor*si\*
ing little insects. He says:
••They are here, there, and every
where ; lug. little, and medium sized;
red, black, brown, and white. First,
I will present you to a tribe of red ones
that live in holes in the ground. These
ants clear away considerable spaces in
the woods, and throw up hugh piles of
clay that resemble the monnds in our
own country of vegetation, and Raving
numerous pathways leading to the va
rious entrances, also barren from con
tinual travel. The pathways wri> re
mind you of the olu cattle paths m
the States, and often have I wandered
off upop one of them, mistaking it for
a well-worn ‘picadura,’ and not discov
ering my error until a pile of yellow
clay warned me to retrace my steps.
In the morning I have seen thc6e path
ways thronged with tho little laborers,
each freighted with a segment of green
leaf, and all these segments cut just
the same size and shape, the load being
many times larger than the bearer, and
thus they travel on, a long continuous
procession. Sometimes it happens that
one of the little laborers is injured dur
ing tin; tramp: for instance, a heavy
loot is placed upon him, ns now : ob
serve, lie drops bis load, and, liko a
sensible follow, as lie is, hangs on to
that of his nearest companion, who trets
along withont deigning -to notice the
addition to Ins already weighty burden;
but «s to whether to tho little suffursr
will be put under surgical treatment
or not, on bis arrival home, I can't say,
never having had a peep into their
roomy abodes. The leaves are select
ed from high in the branches of the
trees, and the pathways beginning at
the basis of some of the old forest mon-
archs, bear signs of many years’s trav
el.
■ One day I cut a large vine that de
pended from an old tree, and soon after
a numerous swarm of ants appealed at
the upper end, all ladcu, and on their
way down. The little fellows seemed
much surprised and alarmed at the
change that had taken place since they
started up ; Lut, acting on the principle
that what’s done can’t ho helped, they
walked to the end, one after another,
and dropped their burdens. Soon a
huge heap of green leaves showed how
great had been the labor of that morn
ing. After dropping their loads, they
started up after others—that is, all save
one that fell. I thought accidently, nt
the time, but soon had reason to be
lieve otherwise, fora reserve corps ol
tlie little workers came ntarcLing tip
their road way, and, wit-h the prompt
ness of laborers sent for to perform a i u ;\
particulr duly, procccdcdto carry away
the leaves constituting the piles before
spoken of. Docs this look more like in-
stinct than reason.
Observe the effect when 1 force a
stick intr one of tho openings in the
mound. What do you think of that ?
Would you have expected to find a
standing army in an ant hill f Thous
ands of tho little ants swarm around.
Look out for them ; but he more careful
of those tieir.cndous fellows—there may
he.a hundred or more of them in each
hill. T hey seem to constitute a regular
guard—never seen except in time of
danger. They are six or seven times
the size of the others, and arc more than
half head, armed with tremendous fangs.
They run around biting at everything.
Hold out your glove to that one. lie
has taken hold of it. Now, tear him to
pieces, if you will, hut he will never ro-
lcasc his hold.
There arc many other varieties of
ai.ts, several of which live in large round
black nests on the sides of trees, re
sembling a sponge in formation. The
habitants of these nests arc, I think, of
all their race, the most destructive to
timber. There is one of their curious
looking abodes, lie caretul, in passing,
not to touch it, or. in an instant, a
thousand of them will he burying their
fangs in your flesh. And ns you pass,
I’d have you notice one thing—that, no
matter how much the surrounding trees

Hanging Gardens of Bahyioa.
The epithet, “hanging,” as applied to
the gardens of Babylon, is liable to mis
lead the reader; they were elevated, not
susj ended. They were built at the time
when the city of Babylon had reached
the summit of its maguificenco under
Nebuchadnezzar. The. ruins of these
hanging gardens existed six hundred
years after their completion, and great-
Iv astiumhed Alexander at his entrance
into Babylon. Tho hanging gardens,
according to Diodorus, contained a
square of four hundred feet on every
side, and were carried up aloft into the
air, tti the form of several large terra
ces, till the height equalled that of the
waits of the city. The whole pile was
sustained by vast arches, raised otic
above another, and strengthened by a
surrounding it ou every side, of
twenty-two feet in thickness. On the
top of the arches were first laid large,
flat stones, sixteen feet long and four
broad ; over these was a layer of reeds,
mixed with a great quantity of bitumen,
upon which wore two rows ofbrick close
ly cemented togetherwith plaster. The
whole was covered with thick sheets of
lead, upon which lay the mould of the
garden, w hich was so deep that the
gieatest trees might take root in It : aud
with such the terraces were covered, as
well as with all other plants and flow
ers that were proper for a pleasure gar
den. In the. upper part was a sort of
hydraulic engine, by which the water
was drawn up out of the river, and
from this the wholo garden was watered.
In the spaces between the several arches
upon which the whole structure rested,
were large and magnificent apartments
that weic very light. and had theadvan
tage of a beautiful prospect. Amytis
the wife of Nebuchadnezzar, was the
daughter of Astyages, King of Media
and felt a:t attachment to the woody and
pastoral scenes of her native country
These gardens and structures were
erected by Nebuchadnezzar for her grat
ifieation, that the city of Babylon might
afford her some recompense for her pri
various.

A RICH SCENE
Ridiculous scenes in legislative bod
ies are nM, it scents, confined to the Uni
ted States. In the Cat ndian House of
Assembly, lately, a spirited debate oc
curred on a bill to prohibit tho usoof
hoops aud crinoline, when the following
intellectual passage at arms ojeuned,
which has scarcely a parallel:
Mr- Drummond was an ardent admir
er of hoops from childhood. Ho Was
born with a lovo of hoops. When he
was a child of tender growth, he used to
trudle his hoop unconscious of the fate
in store for hitn. Later iu life he had
swallowed a ring, which resulted in
hoop-in cough, and even now the sight
of an empty hogshead brought tears to
his eyes.
. ^ r - Brown complained that it was
impossible now to choose a wife, since
her defects were so hid by hoops; and
enveloped in crinoline, that the naked-—

Speaker—Upon sny soul, Mr. Brown;
cork up, or I’ll have you arrested.
to a slanderous rumor which has been
most dastardly circulated against ntc,
from one end of the country to the oth
er. My enemies, not content with en
deavoring to ruin my political prospects,
have, assassin-like, attempted to blast
tny good name by their insidious re
ports.’ ‘Abner’ then stated what the
rumor was, antf contiuucd ; *1 rejoice,
fellow-citizens, to have it in my power
instantly to fasten tho lie upon this ma
licious and astrocious slnnderer. I see
among you, one of the most estimable
citizens of this country, whose charac
ter for the truth and integrity is above
question. Squire Schooler, to whom 1
allude, is acquainted with all the facts,
and I call on him bore to state whether
this rumor is true or false. I pause for
a reply.’ Whereupon Squire Schooler
slowly arose, aud iu his strong, slow aud
sonorous voice said, ‘I rather think you
did it. Abner.’ ‘You old scoundrel!’
exclaimed Abner, ‘why do you inter
rupt mo while I’m discussing great con
stitutional questions, with your low per
sonalities? And ho accompanied Ins
objugatory exclamation with such a
‘surge’ of jestictilation that he stepped
back beyond • the platform, fell back
ward on: a big dog, amid the howls of
which, and tuo deafening roars of the
‘sovereigns,’ the meeting was effectual
ly broken up.”
