~His fame was, in fact, spreading
rapidly. Farm laborers and servant
girls expended their hardly earned
~wages on the purchase of his poems,
and the name of the ~Ayrshire
Plowman�T began to be noised among
members of wealthier and more cul-
tivated circles. The first person to
extend to him the right hand of fel-
lowship was Dugald Stewart; the
~second was Mrs, Dunlop. Their
friendship came with all the charm
of anovelty which is'~yet notstrange,
but supplies a long felt though in-
definable need, while, in the latter
case, BurnsT proud and independent
spirit was gratified by the knowl-
edge that the obligation was not all
on bis side, but that Mrs. Dunlop
and her friends had reason to be in- |
debted to his poet's spells, .
After two winters spent in Edin-
burgh, which seem to have given
the poet more disappointment and
disgust than gratification, Burns
married ~~his JeanT and settied at
Ellisland, an upland farm on the
Dalswinton estate, six miles from
Dumfries. To this Ellisland period
"that is, from 1788 to 1791"most of
the unpublished letters to Mrs. Dun-
lop belong. They are chiefly inter.
views on his excise post and his dis-
taste to farming. There were bad
times inthe cichteenth as in the
nineteenth a ae and ing letter
of March 25, 1789, wo hear Burns
raising the a customary com-
pilaint:
oMadam, I had two plans of life
bdfore me"the excise and farming.
I thought by the glimmering of my
own prudence the excise was my
most eligible scheme, but all my
great friends, and particularly you,
were decidedly, and therefore decid.

Mr. Miller, out of a real though
mistaken benevolence, sought me
usly out to set mein this

MATTER OF*FACT ANTS.
Display Great Intelligence,
5 T. Lovelace of this city, who
recently returned from the intercon-
tinental railway survey through
_| Central and South America, says one
of the most. interesting things to be
seen in the tropics is the leaf carry-
ing ant. ©
oThe leaf carrying ant is peculiar
to tropical America. The twospecies
}ocoupy different nests. They are
never seen in the same roadways,
and they always eater different
holes, but these ants are such great
burrowers that one could not say
positively that the formicaries do
not communicate with each other|
under ground. Their holes do not
cross, and there isnocommunication
| between the holes aboye ground. As
ah experiment, members of one col-
ony were transferred by band to the
path of another. There was no con-
flict. The strangers merely made
| haste to getT away.
oBoth species,'TT continued Mr.
Lovelace, ~~have the same habits,
save that the red fellows are the
of the afternoon, while the red ones
struggled along ~all day, although
there were fewer workers to be seen
in the paths between 12 and 4
o'clock. : There being: no trees on
ants, they gathered bay instead. A
grass that grew close to the earth

were jast peeping out from their in-
folding leaves when I was there, and
these heads of seed were the favor.
ite harvest. -
oT saw half inch ants carrying
seed stalks an inch long and of twice
the weight of the carrier. They also
cut off the grass leaves and carried
them in, while moist érumba of
bread and vegetables were cut up
and carried also. Very dry crumbs
were ignored. I did not see them
carry meat of any kind, and when I
puta piece of freshly killed grass-
hopper in their path they refused ~to
notice it.. But certain bits ci damp,
rotien wood Were Curtin a.0 the
nests as quickly as soft bread.
oA peon who came to see what I
Mi | | found of interest in the little work-
ers dropped a flaming wax match
|} among them. They did not seem to
see it, for they rushed into the flame
as they would have crossed a bit of
paper. A number were burned to
death, while many of them were
crippled before the flame was extin-
guished. The dead and the crippled
remained in the path perhaps two
minutes at a spot five feet from the
nest entrance. Then came a gang of
workers from the nest, who picked
up the dead and the crippled and
carried them several inches. away in-
tothe grass at right angles to the
~path. The wounded were left unat.
tended, as were the dead. The work.
ers then attacked the extinguished

long, and a dozen (by count) took
hold of it, pulled it in all directions
at once, rolled it and one ancther

streamed by and over them, ap.
parently heedless of their presence.
It was acase of wholly undirected
.| labor, for any two, possibly any one,
could have dragged it from the.path,
bat if took the dozen 15 minutes to
tumble it across two inches of the
path.
oWhile.in Honduras an ireaices
told me that the leaf cutting ant was
to blame for much of the laziness of
the natives, who do not try to make
gardens or cultivate fruit trees be
cause the ants destroy everything of
that kind. However, the American
