The vagaries of South American justice are ably illustrated by a story that coines from the Panama Star and Herald. Two prisoners, Francisco Brionos Gamboa and Victor Higuera, were implicated ia a murder at Guara. The Guayaquil court, (being unable to fix the relative guilt of either, passed the following sentence: ''They shall draw lots and the one favored by ohanoe shall not be executed and shall be commuted to that of imprisonment for life, which sentence he shall serve in the prison of the capital cf the republic, after being present at the execution of the other murderer." - It will doubtless be a satis faction to the able-bodied men of Qerinany to know how the statisticians have figured out some results of the increase in effectiveness of "arms of precision." In the last wbmv it la the number of aoldlers killed in action was about twc per cent, of those engaged. In the next it will be greater, though not more than three per cent.?that is to say, only about 1200 out of an army corps of 35,. 000. Of the same number about 5800 will be wounded. It is well to have these things settled before hand. It is the percentage ot this sort that increases the percentage of German emigrants to ' this country. t Madame Pattl, has "sold her voice.n jThat is, for a consideration, she has promised to permit her throat to be examined after her death, to see if the construction of it in any way accounts for her marvel* Jous gift of song.

We therefore feel it our duty, as scrlts of the people we represent, stand; upon the out posts and watch-tower this the greatest political revolution jr known to the natioD, to say to you it we have entered a crucial period in ) history of our great reform movent, in which the greatest caution, nest deliberation and strict adherence our principles arc necessary to preserve act that organization which stands to y as the sheet-anchor and hope of ilions of wealth producers in the great btlo for the God-given rights of huYoi? .C^-IgrSTuTaiefl upon tno "great rmony and unity of sentiment in rerd to Alliance principles which preils within your borders, and upon the :t that a careful canvass of the subject this moeting has shown that prnctiily the members of the order in these itc8 stand squareiy upon me uemanas. th the avowed determination of hold g devotion to them above that to any ithod of action, and that today the imber of those who so endorse the prin pies of the Alliance is much greater an ever before. A sentiment also prevails, strong aud liform, tlpt this great order, as an 01inizatioD, is the greatest of all modern rces for tiie spread of reform educaan, and. ti^/Sts work must be pernetued and encouraged in this high sphere, itirely free from any partisan entangleents. The ouly dangers which seem in any ay to threaten a lack of the fullest de slopment and prosperity of the order e those which attend the disposition of few men and papers to publicly critise and condemn others for their metliis. This is not of sufficient extent to image the order, but it mars that per ict unity that should prevail, and ala\s in jures all concerned, and it is conary to the spirit of brotherly love and abearance that should prevail. Another evil, which fortunately nrc ails only in it very few localities, is the imposition of members to seek political ffice at the hands of their brethien, foretting that principle of Alliance docrinc which declares that the office should sck the man an 1 not. the man the office. In consideration of these views as to he situation, the following rules of aclon are suggested, as well calculated to nabie the order to go through the coning ordeal of a ticrcc political contest nd come out strengthened and purified: 1. Let a Spirit of harmony prevail and at unity of action be the rule. Let none ondemn a brcther who stands squarely >y the principles of the order or speak in ny way disparingly or disrespectfully f him because they in&y ditter as to the est methods of enforcing our principles. Irant to every brother honesty of pur>ose. 2. Let fealty to the principles of the irder be the true and only test of memteiship, and let those who val^c their >artisan affiliations more than their Alliance obligations be informed that their irder demands strict aud full devotion o its principles, and leaves each to his >wn choice as to methods, but that the nntliod run in tin cntu> control tlm nrinci >le, and therefore nil who affiliate should iccept as supreme the principles of the wder. 3.

Q. A. proceeds: he ??i have observed it when in the country, but the statement has boeu met with so ?' much doubt by a botanist that I now re{"" fer to you to settle the matter, and hope * j--- Oiyor mo with a reply."

It is probable r that during very warm sunny morning-* lfj the flowers might crumple up with sufHi cient rapidity to entrap bees that had pushed themselves very far down into the rc tube in the attempt to reach the nectar? ro inaccessible, I should think, to an iusect s with so short a tongue as the honey bee. Tho latter, as well as various other in' sects, are, however, occasionally taken P! prisoners in such flowers as close up at night or upon the approach of u storm. The crocus, for instance, frequently folds * ita perianth over its winged visitors, and in early spring the captured insect often a perishes over night with cold or from the exhalations of the flower.
