' Is that hairy , long-legged thing I
see in the case n tarantula ? "
"No ; there are no true taratulas in
California , but that is what is known
in this coast as a tarantula. The
.arantuln proper belongs to Europe ,
and especially Spain , and the fust
comers hero being from Unit country ,
and seeing something which to thuir
unscientific ojes scorned just thu samu
is their own tarantula , they named it
iccordingly. Its true name is the
, nip-door spider so called fioin the
curious doois they build to close thu
entrance of their nests. There is onu
of thuir nests. You sou it has
A I'KKI'KCT lllAl'-DOOK ,

lirt hold together by some mucilagi-
ions substance. It fits tightly into
hu mouth of the hole , which is a pei >
'oct circle. Do you know it pu//.lod

coast how that long-legged thing was
o got into any of these am ill holes ,
vhich , as you see , am about
i.df an inch in diamuter.

lowed with the power of aitictilation ,
or casting oft' their limbs , as some an
nuls do the crab , for inst.mco but
[ afterwards found out th.it these
ito the males , and they nuver go

lusts and not houses. Thu fumalu is

"with a quiet twinkle , "to sue that ho

"How does this species differ from
, ho tiuo tarantula ? "
"Do you BCO these venomous-look-
ng nippers or mandibles which turn
downward in this spider ? Well , in the
rue tarantula those mandibles extend
out horizontally in front of the ani-
nal. That is the main difference , and
.ho mistake made by thu first comers
o thia coast was n very natural ono to
any but a trained naturalist. "
At this point the conversation bioko

Terror's Reign iu Texas

HOUSTON , Texas , August 25. A
mooting of 300 of the leading colored
peoplu of Galvcston yesterday , and
which called attention to thu bloody
outrages perpetrated on negroes at
Orange by an nrmod mob of white
citi/.uns , and denouncing Governor
Roberts and thu state govoinmcnt for
declining to interfere , has aroused a
still higher degree of public intuiest
in the late wholesale lynching in this
state. Tliu Galvcston Nuws is the
leading paper in Texas , and aoveral
days ago called upon the state gov
ernment to interfere and stop this
dreadful slaughter of human beings ,
who wore utterly helpless in thu
liando of a mob ; but Governor Rob-
uitB has remained uttuily silent. The

sition party , is a white man of 115 ,

of the Saxon party , among thorn thu
