A Chicago Times special from Washington says the President has granted a pardon to the old counterfeiter, Fred.

In the year 1826 the locusts made their appearance in New Hampshire by millions, and were fully as destructive as in Maine. They destroyed the entire crops of the State or nearly so.

Late in autumn a heavy flood came, after which cold weather set in and destroyed the eggs which had been deposited during the summer. So abundant were these insects, that Arnold Thompson, of Mer-rimac County, succeeded in catching in a single evening, between the hours of 8 and 12, five bushels and three pecks, by means of a sack fastened to a cross-pole. In Dwight's traveh through New York in the years 1797 and 1798, there is an account of the locusts in Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.and the insects in those States were, if possible, even more destructive. They devoured clover, tobacco plants, burdock, all vegetables, and even garments of men busy in the fields. They also devoured the loose particles of sawdust left on freshly sawed boards.

A female of good address, but poorly clad, called on the rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, and stated that she had been a member of that church and attended there, when she could afford respectable clothing, but that now she was reduced in circumstances, and what was worse than all, her sister was a corpse, in her house, and she had no means wherewith to bury her. She gave her address, a house on New Jersey Avenue, southeast, and so moved was the pastor by her appeal, that through his efforts and others charitably disposed, a sum of money was raised by the day following. This sum, together with the address of the supposed sufferer, was handed to some ladies, who, proceeding to the place indicated, were shown to a second-story room, wherein was the body of a woman, on a bed, apparently dead, and motionless as" a corpse, with the side scenes of a child crying, and the woman who made the appeal leaning her head on the window-ill overcome with grief.

The President has appointed Issac i Historical Bevicw ofttavage and Remedies. ADDRESS OP GOVERNOR PILLSBCRY BEFORE THE CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS AT OMAHA, OCTOBER 26, 1876. Gentlemen; While it is not difficult to obtain information regarding the nature and habits of the locusts or grasshoppers, no particular methods for their extermination or for protection from their ravages have yet been found to any satisfactory extent. We can learn without much trouble of the great destruction made by them in the different States, and especially in the Mississippi Valley, but the vital necessity of the hour a necessity connected with the best interests of agriculture is a speedy remedy for the growing evil.

The Bureau of Agriculture at Washington, established for the advancement of our great agricultural interests, is nearly silent in regard to locust or grasshopper devastations, the attention of the Department not having been directed to the investigation of the. subject. Is there not a great fault that this Department has not given this question more attention? Surely it could not in any manner aid or advance the interests of agriculture better than by a thorough investigation of a subject so closely al Shepwd, of Missouri, United States Con 8ul at Hankow, China. ter to resign on account of his conduct in the EAST. recent Sullivan-Hanford murder trial.

In order to bring the subject readily before you, I deem it proper to review briefly the destruction which has been made by the locusts in various countries, and at different periods of the past, together with some of the means which have been employed for defense against their Perhaps the earliest recorded appearance of the grasshoppers upon the North American continent, was upon the lands of the Jesuit missionaries, in The remaining two prisoners, Clark and Neary, were sentenced to an imprisonment corn or green iruits, nothing was expected but ruin and barrenness.

There is a species of birds found in immense numbers in Russia, Poland and Lower Egypt, and on the shores of the Mediterranean, called the rose-colored blackbird, that feeds on locusts and their eggs and It devours incredible numbers in a day. The red-winged starling of the Southern Atlantic States, described by Alexander Wilson, is another great enemy to the locust. Mr.

Wilson estimates that 2.0U0,-000 of the starling will consume in three weeks the enormous amount of 16,200,000,000 of the eggs and larvaj of the grasshoppers. The large number of birds found in' our several States are intended as positive blessings to the people, and there is no doubt that suitable laws should be passed by all States, and especially those which are ravaged by locusts or grasshoppers, for the protection of birds, especially the starling.blackbird, lark, crow, jackdaw, stark, and that the rose-colored starling and grakle should be introduced into the Uni ed States. These birds are a very destructive enemy to the locusts. They pursue them at night, when they alight on the ground. It should be regarded as a crime to shoot or catch any birds which show themselves useful to the inhabitants.

In Egypt the ibex was considered sacred, because it destroyed reptiles and insects, especially the locust. France places her chief reliance for the destruction of loeusts upon birds. I shall not attempt any details of the prolonged visitation of "the destructive insects, from which several States are now suffering. Most of you are doubtless familiar with the sad experience of many localities in your several States, where the people have suffered continuously to the last extremity of endurance. In my own State the ravages have thus far been confined to a comparatively small belt along our western and northern borders, but within this area many localities have suffered an almost total loss of crops for four years in succession, and with these people the question is fast assuming the vital alternative of exterminating these pests, or of being exterminated by them.

During the present year, while the total loss has been little or no greater than in prior seasons, and less complete destruction has occurred in any locality, the insects have laid their eggs in localities not heretofore visited by them, creating an apprehension for the future, such as has never before been experienced. It is a singular fact, although the grasshoppers or locusts have infested various portions of this country, more or less, nearly every season for the past 100 years, none of our observing writers or scientists have made but a passing notice of an insect which has caused this country so much distress by its terrible ravages. The nature and habits of the grasshopper should be diligently observed by cultivators of the soil, and by the scientific men of this country. The General Government should employ the ablest naturaltists in America to study and compile for. public use the most searching and complete investigations into their habits, and the best methods of checking their increase and thwarting their ravages.

The most illustrious nations of the world have not disdained to devote their time and means to the destruction of this pernicious insect; and it surely becomes our nation, which prides itself upon its practical sagacity, to give timely heed to a problem upon the solution of which depends so largely the primary sources of its prosperity. cessively, beginning with 17C5.

No evolution of force can take place with undue rapidity without damage to the machine in which the transtormation is effected. Express railway stock has a much shorter term of use than that reserved for slower traffic. The law is universal that intensity and duration of action are inversely proportioned. It is therefore no matter of surprise to find that the human nervous system is no exception to the law. The higher salubrity of rural over urban life is not entirely a matter of fresh air and exercise.

Rural life involves leisure and pause in work, which are very essential to the maintenance of the nervous system in a state of due nutrition, Unremitting spasm soon ceases altogether. The tension of life produces weakness at the very place where strength is most needed. The damage done to the health of the most valuable part of the community, the best trained thinkers, most useful workers, is incalculable. Work and worry, though not proportional, are closely connected, and an excess of the former soon entails an increase of the latter beyond the limits which the nervous system can bear with impunity, especially under the conditions under which work has to be done. The machinery and organizing the work of a community had to be rigid and inflexible, and in the strain involved in bringing a changing organism into harmony with a machine, the former must inevitably suffer.
