Spielers, in many respects, arc just like other animals, and can be tamed and petted, and taught a great many lessons, and which they will learn as readily as a dog or cat, But you must take the trouble to study their ways, and get on the good side of them. One day 1 had been reading in a book how spiders managed to get their webs across streams and roads, and from the top of a till tree to another. I went out and caught a large garden spider?one ot tho?e blue graw sprawling fellows, and fixed hi in up for my experiment. 1 took a stick about eighteen inches in length, and fastened a piece ol iron to one end of it, so that the stick would stand upon that end of itself. Then I put this in the center of a huge tub half full of wator, and placed the spider on top of the stick. I wauled to see if it could get to "land," which was the edge of the tub, without any help, lie ran down first one side the stick and then the other. Fach time he would stop when he touched ihe wator, and shaking bis foot as the cat docs would run upagam. A t last he came to the conclusion that ho was entirely surrounded by water?on an island in fact. After remaining pnr feetly quiet for a long while, during which, 1 have no doubt, he was arra'.ig ing his plans, he began running around to the top of the stick, and throwing out gicat coils of web with I his hind feet. In a few minutes little ? fine strings id'web were floating in the H .-lignt hree/.e mat was blowing. After a li'tle, one of these threads touched the edge of tlie tub, and stuck fast, as all spider webs will do. This was just what Mr. Spider was looking for, and the next minute, be too k hold of his web, and gave n jerk as a sailor dues with a rope when he wishes to see how strong it is, or make it fast. Having satisfied himself that it was fust at the other end, he gathered it in till it was tight and straight, and then ran on it to the shore?a rescued castaway.? L'/iristiati A'rim.

New York, January 0.?Tho latest report8 regarding the Bennett May duel are as follows : Mr. Ben nett ieft here Thursday and went to [Boston. This was n ruse to draw off the attention of the public. He did ,not know where tho combat would be fought, the arrangements being left .to his friends, Mr. S. II. Robertson. Mr. Fred. May, of Baltimore in the moan time arrived as second, und with Mr- Robertson, the terms of meeting or details ol time and place, and weapons, e'e, were arranged. Tho place selected was Slaughter Station, Kent County, Delaware, not tfar from the > nrylaiid line. This region is very sparely settled. M r: Maj' offered to provide a brace ol duelling pistols uud his offer was ac cepted. On Friday night Mr. Bennett, effectually disguised, returned from Boston, passed hurriedly through -New York, nnd took the night train on the Pennsylvania Railroad, hav ing been joined by his second and by Dr. Charles Phclps, who went in the capacity surgeon. They went to Balti more, where they received a letter from Mr. Pied May, of that city, containing formal announcement to the second of the Bennett party of the preciso time and place. The parties arrived at Slaughter Station yester day morning, and the duel was fought at two o'clock in an open space in the woods. Mr. May, his second, Fred May ?i-v.ri r^.. t'f?l?!?imim hi? sursreon, were first on the ground, 'i he man were phi cud hack to hack at ten paces dis tant. Roberts >u gave the word, and the two men turned mid fired almost simultaneously. May staggered, hut Menuett stood for a 'oment holding his still smoking pistol almost in the position in which he. had fired. Dr. Tighlaman ran forward to Mr. May and examined his wound. Lie thought it would not prove fatal, hut was of such a nature as to prevent him from having an equal chance with his antagonist at a second shot.* T he wound was in the leg. Mr. Bennett and his party immediately returned to Philadelphia, and May was carried to vhe house of a relative. Later?Bexnett't Surgeon in trouble. New York, January 10.?Dr. Charles P helps, who was connected with the May-Bennett duel, was snb puMiaed before the grand jury to-day by the district attorney to testify con cerning it. He refused to answer any questions, on the ground that he would criminate himself, and being brought before Judge Gihlcrslcevo in the Court of General Sessions*and still refusing, he was committed to the city prison for thirty days for con tempt of court. The counsel for Dr. C. Phclps ap plied to Judge Donahue of the Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner says he was subpoenaed before the grand jury and asked to answer certain questions tending to show that be was cogniz ant of pome alleged crime which had occurred out of the jurisdiction of this court, which he refused to answer, and was committed for alleged con tempt of court. That the grand jury had no jurisdiction to inquire it to tho matter, because the answer to their questions would tend to expose him to prosecutions in another State lor felony, wherefore he prays for a writ of habeas corpus, Ac. Judge Dona hue granted the writ and made it re turnable in the Supreme Court Th?rs day morning. The following are the questions asked by the grand jury : "On leaving New York on Sunday did you sec James Gordon Bennett?" "Whcro did you last see him ?'' "Did you know of auy hostile meeting hav ing occurred between Mr. Bennett and Mi*. May ?" "After leaving Now York Sunday, when and where did you see Mr. Bennett?" "At whose request or intervention did yon leave New York on Sunday?" How Ben Hill Looks. Mr. Hill is now fifty-three years of I age, is a Georgian by birth, and a man of fine personal apearance, being above the average height, lithe and sinewy, without any appearance ol leanness. He has a squnrc face, large, steady glancing, blue-eye?, a thin lippcd, firm set mouth, the upper lip cleanly shaven always, with a full, clipped beard. His hair is rather brist .ig and slightly wavy, standing up and back from his forehead, and is, together with his whiskers, of a yellowish brown color, with a small bald spot on the crown. 1 le possesses an exceedingly pleasant almost musi cal voice, and is graceful and easy in gesticulation. The most character istic point connected with his personal bearing in the peculiar manner in which he habitually carries his head, which he does by dtopping his chin almcst upon his breast, and looking up and out from under his eyebrows. This he does alike iu walking and sit ting, but when speaking he throws his head up and square; Mr. Hill is one of the most scholarly men in congress and is a great lover of books and home. He is never seen about the hotel lobbies or roiling around as the common run of congressmen do, and he is never absent from the house w henever any matter of importance is under discussion, for his peculiar attitude will always arrest the eye of the observer as lib sits somewhere near the man who may bespeaking, so that he hears clearly what is giin g on iu the noi y chamber. rn ..ii >V tnerO.au' liuuiur" iu .... stupid than English wit. 1 he writers for the many comic journals of Eng land look' into the daily papers and usually pun, in :t gawky way, with some word.
