LATE NEWS. Stock Report. Pitusburg, Dec. 19.,—The pig iron manufacturers of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio held a meet'np: at the Monongahcla House last night for the purpose of forming an organization to look after their interests in llie coming tariff legislation, and to check the downward tendency in prices if possible, fifteen firms were represented and telegrams and letters received from others who had been invited expressed approval and favored cooperation. Those present discussed the project at some length and came to the conclusion that it was entirely feasible, and decided to call a first meeting at the Monongahcla House, Pittsburg, on the 27th instant, when the organization will be foruicd. A committee was appointed to go to Washington and make arguments before the Ways and Means Committee against the ivductiou in duty on pig from seven dollars to six dollars and seventy-two cents, and on scrap from tight dollars to six dollars. This latter is about the most because furnace men pay that it can be imported so cheaply Reported by Carpenter & Boomer. Rooms and 6 Club House, Franklin street. Wilkes-Barre Dec. 20—S:U0 p. m.

Washington, Dec. 19.—An effort is being made by the relatives and friends of James O'Brien, the self-confessed perjurer in the Moray letter forgery caso, now serving out an eight year sentence at Sing Sing, to secure his pardon. A petition for this purpose has been signed by many citizens here. The request is based upon the youth of the convict, tho fact that ho early fell into bad company and was thus led astray, and that S. S. Moray was equally guilty with O'Brien, yet was released from custody.

In one web in Fairmoant Park 1 counted thirty-eight mosquitoes ; in another, hung under n bridge at Asbury Park, and nnt of reach, there must have been two or three times that many. Green head flies by the legion have been seen in the webs that fairly enlace the boat houses at AUantio City »nl Cape May. Tne very small spiden prey upon microscopio insects like gnats and levour myriads. A glance at the fields, lushes and trees on a dewy morning io September will reveal an innumerable multitude of wehs spread over the landscape, all acuipied by spiders of various ages, sizes and families, and all busy destroying th« insect posts of man. There are several species of spiders, divided into two classes, the sedentary and the wandering spiders. To this first class belong the orb weavers, who make a circular web; the line weavers, whose web is lahyrinthian; the tube weavers, who hang their nests on walls or rocks or branohes of trees, and the tnnnel weavers, who live in tunnels out into the earth and have automatic doors ingenlonsly contrived. In the wanderers are inoluded the cetegrades, whose motions are quiok and vivacious ; the laterigrades, who have a queer sideways motion, and the saltigrades, who jump and dance and vault. The dolomede spider is a swimmer and lives on or under water. She bnilds her nest on • detached branch of a tree or bush, which die makes Into a tent The arglopa fasoiapa or band»d spider is a silver, yellow and black color. Spiders are not sooiable oreatnres. They are generally, on the oontrary, of solitary habits, and are mostly cannibals, eating eaoh other with great gnsto. They mate in the spring and autumn and the mating is often a trying and dangerous one. They reversf the order of nature in one respect, for the males are infinitely inferior in every respeol to the females, and the latter are well aware of the fact. Their oourtships are scenes of violence, and not of love and peacc. The lady jooks with sublime contempt upon the gentleman and keeps him at a distance. He cb". only approach her by stratagem, and sometimes she nips off one of his legs in her wger and casts him adrift a oripple. I hr ve seen poor fellows who have lost fom ot t of their eight legs, and still they were attracted to the opposite sex like moths to a candle. A spider will never eat her own young, but the males will destroy them when they oan. The mother either goes *way or dies soon after the hatching of her aggs, whioh number about 100 to each nest, and the yonng are thrown npon the world almost as soon as they see light. There are several varieties who carry their eggs in a silk pouch until they are hatched.

In fact, it is probable that dogs can in this way communicate with each other a wide range of states of feeling. But these states are present states, not states past or fatnre. They are their own states, not the states of others. A dog can call his companions' attention to a worriable cat, or he may have his attention roused by my exclaiming "cat." But no dog could tell his companion of the successful " worry" he had just enjoyed, or suggest that they should go out for a " worry " to-morrow morning. And here we come upon what seems to me the fact which raises man so immeasurably above the level of the brute. The brute ha# to be contented with the experience he inherits or individually acquires. Man, through language, spoken or written, profits by the experience of his fellows. Even the most savage tribe has traditions extending back to the father's father (Sproat). And the civilized man—has he not in his libraries the results of many centuries of ererwidening experience and ever-deepening thought? Thus It is that language has made us men. By means of language, and language alone, has human thought become possible. This it is which has placed so enormous a gap between the mind of man and the mind of the dog. Through language each human being beoomee the inheritor of the accumulated thought and experience of the whole human raoe.
