The women replied that what the prisoner had stated was utterly untrus, as they had been sent by the child's grandmother to look for him. They therefore refused to let him leave and the passage-boat owner who was getting underweigh at the time, dropped his anchor again, in order to wait for the arrival of the Police. A Lokong having | come, the prisoner was taken into custody. The prisoner was committted for trial, and the Magistrate complimented the women, for their sagacity in this affair.

SIR JOHN LUBBOCK ON ANTS. The audience which, following Solomon's advice and Sir John Lubbock's reputation, went to the Royal last night to consider the ways of the ant, was vast-every seat being filled, extra chairs too, and fine ladies sitting lowly on the steps-and they heard much that would, perhaps, have astonished Solomon, or the Persian sage, Shalish-herta," his social superiority, but to observe the sovereignty of the bee and the ant in their kind." Sir John Lubbock has been known to be devoting his attention to ants for the last three years.
