Col. J. C. Everhart, of Illair county, is fa

Col. Everhart is an honest, intelligent,
straight-forward business man, and would
do justice to tho Commonwealth and credit

London', May 28. The Levan Jhrald says
a series oi terrible earthquako shocks oc
curred at tho beginning of May in tho prov
ince of Barousa, Asia Minor. Six hundred
houses were destroyed. Accounts so far re
ceived show that 101 lives have been lost and
187 persons wero injured. The number of
killed is still unknown.
Tho province of Uarousa is in Asia Minor,
and its capital city which has tho same
name, is only fifty-seven miles from Constan
tinople. The country is fertile, and tho pop
ulation comparatively dense. Earthquakes
aro not a novelty, the greater part of the
city of Barousa having been destroyed on the
28th of February, 1855, with a loss of one
hundred lives.
What a thin partition can keep brethcrn
apart. Tho Presbyterian Church North says
'It does not wish to be judged now for what
it said or did in tho excitement of tho war,
and that its sayings and doings then aro for
eign to its present 'feelings and purposes.
Tho Church South replies in effect: "If you
will say that you regret what was dono in a
time of excitement, and now, on reflection,
disapprove tho imputation then cat upon us
it will end all difficulty Hut tho Church
North will not say that it disapproves of its
action during tho war, and tho Church South
will not renew amicablo relations short of
such an admission.
Tho Chicago Times of May 20th fays that
Mrs. Lincoln to-day attempted to commit
suicide, after being removed from tho court
room, where she was adjudged insane. Yes
terday sho was put under strict surveillance
it being feared that sho might Injure herself,
To-day sho escaped from her room and hur
ried to the drug storo of Frank Square, under
tho Grand Pacific Hotel, sho ordered a com
pound of camphor and laudanum, ostensibly
for neuralgia. Tho clerk informed her it
would tako about ten mliiuttw tn mni-n it
whereupon sho took a carriago and drovo to
two other drug stores. Mr. Square followed
her and prevented tho druggists from giving
jici mo mixture sno linally returned to the
first placo ami procured a mixturn wldcl, lm
supposed sho wanted, but it was harmless
which she drank as sho left tho store. As it
had no effect sho tried to leavo her room to
obtain a larger doto but was prevented. Sho
was removed to a prlvato hospital at Jiatavia,
Illinois, this afternoon, whero sh will re
ceive every attention.
Tho terrible destiuction from forest fires
in this Stato has turned attention to meas
ures of prevention. Legislation, the mod
cm specific for every ill that flesh or grass is
Heir to, is suggested. Thero aro two dlrefr
lions in which tho legislature might mako a
trial of preventive enactments. It could de-
clair tho malicious firing of the woodaamis'
demeanor punishable with severo penalties
and mako railroad companies responsible for
tires kindled from sparks thrown from lico
motives, Every year tho railroad companies
do vast damago along tho lines of their track
by burning fences, flriugtlio forests.aud often,
in dry seasons, setting firo to standing grain
mid grabs fields, Thero is no doubt that suit
able precautious, within tho compass of hu
man ingenuity, would prevent tills latter clam
of disasters, und. if companies wero mado to
pay for tho property burned by them, proper
devices for arresting sparks would soon make
their appcarenco upou every locomotivo
Jlut no restrictive laws will ever opcrato to

JUrict,
To the llesciiol
An appeal by an nblo and thoughtful hand
why any rcuotiublo man, having tho good
of tho country nt heart, should continue to
net with tho 1'op.itbllcnn party, vote for Its
candidates, approve its nets, defend the ex
travagance of its officials, and this, too, in
face of the fact that thousands of them left
the Democratic party because of alleged cor
ruption within Its pale, which charge, if
true, sinks it into titter insignificance, when
compared with tho monstrous malfeasance,
peculation and dishonesty of tho men who
have control of tho party to which they went
over and to which they still persistently
cling, is beyond our comprehension.
If they could bo induced to exam'mo the
present condition of public affairs, investi
gate tho charges of wholesalo rascality and
plundering laid nt tho door of the party
which has been sj long in undisputed pos
session of all tho departments of tho general
government, and see for themselves that
these chargos aro true beyond doubt, wo arc
inclined to bellcvo they would not hesitate a
moment to denounce these wrongs upon tho
public, hasten back to tho fold whencs they
strayed anil lend all tho help in their power
to tho Democratic ('arty in the great effort it
is now making to rescuo tho government
from tho hands of the spoilers.
There aro thousands of honest men who
continue to voto tho Kcpublican ticket at
every election who have not tho remotest
idea of the corruption that pervades every
branch of tho public service, and, worse than
all, they are so blinded by party zeal that
they will not stop to inquire whether their
party is doing good or evil to tho country
do not seem to cato whether the administra
tion of the government is in tho interest of
tho people or conducted for tho especial ben
efit and behoof of the hordo of parasites and
thieves that are battering on the spoils of of
fice, bloated witli millions stolen from tho
public treasury.
Now, wo well know how strong nro party
ties and that it requires independence of
spirit, a degree of moral courage to enable
one to sever old-time associations political
or otherwise It is only when tho public
good demands tho sacrifice of party fellow
ship that men can bo expected to rise
above their prejudices, and, trampling them
under their feet, join hands with former op
ponents and with the firmness and determin
ation of tho truly bravo soldier when tho
danger is greatest, and tho peril most imi-
ncnt, march shoulder to shoulder with them
in the thickest of tho fight. Tho breach that
has been made in tho Constitution must bo
repaired. Wrongs must ho righted Cor
ruption must bo driven out and justice,
economy, purity ami undcfilcd patriotism re
established in every department of tho pub
lic service. If this is not soon dono with
tho peaceful ballot it cauuot.be dono nt all
without an appeal to the last resort of an
outraged and o 'pressed people. If the rem
edy must bo revolution it will be such an
uprising as will startlo tho civilized world.
It will bo said that no danger threatens,
that no fears need be entertained of tho
stability of our freo institutions and tho
eventual pcaccablo re-establishment of gov
ernment. Wo trust that it may bo so; but
this result cannot possibly follow a contin
uance of the methods contrived by thoso in
authority to wring from the hands of honest
toil tho hundreds of millions squandered on
political favorites or placed within tho easy
reach of tho thousands of straw-bid con
tractors, government pimps and tho army of
camp followers that hang to the skirts of the
party now in power and which lias control
of the public treasury.
Thero is discontent throughout the land
not, it is true, in tho palaeo of tho million
aire, not in tho gorgeous parlor of tho
"bloated bondholder" but in the minds of
tho millions whoso daily labor furnished
bread for themselves and families, but who
aionow compelled to bo idle, who aro not
permitted to earn the necessaries of life,
whose hearts acho at tho sight of despairing
wives and hungry children. And all this is
a land of plenty I Yes, plenty for all.
Had pestilenco passed over tho land and a
blight brought famine to tho hearthstones of
tho suffering, the visitation would have been
of God and the murmuring could not be jus
tified. Hut nil tlio distress, tho prostration
of business, tho compulsory idlene is, the gen
eral inactivity in all tho branches of trade,
aro tho results of unwise legislation, State
and National tho consequences of trust! ng
tho administration of the government to dis
honest and incompetent hands.
Chartered monopoly has much to do with
tho present unhappy condition of tho coun
try. A spirit of wild speculation, the direct
result of government aid to chimerical and
bogus railroad enterprises ; chartered capi
tal crushing out individual competition in
most branches of business; government sub
sidies to bankers and brokers; tho govern
ment itself a speculator in thi gold market ;
tho money power placed in tho hands of
Shylocks; tariffs for tho exclusive benefit
and "protection" of monopolists; govern
ment tax on nearly everything tho poor man
consumes; needless expenditure in tho col
lection of tho revenue and its extravagant
disbursement fur the benefit of tho few ; leg
islation which lias paralyzed the South and
crushed out all business cnterprho in nearly
one-half the States of tho Union; govern
ment interference with tho laws of trado;
want of governmental knowledge of what is
best to bo dono for tho good of tho people
it must follow as tho night tho day that tlio
aountry cannot bo relieved of its trouble
and distress until there is an entire change
In tho management of public affairs.
This change cannot be effected as long as
tho Republican party is perinitte 1 to remain
in power, It has been fairly tried and has
proved itself incompetent to restoro prosper
ity to tho country, Let it bo no longer
trusted. Judged by its acts it is worthy of
tlio severest condemnation. Having abused
its power and utterly failed in all tlio re
quirements of good government, let it be set
aside and tho old party under which our
people greatly prospered nnd under whoso
vise and prudent administrations our coun
try bceamo the wonder nnd admiration of
tlio civilized world, bo again permitted to
tako hold of tho helm of tho ship of State,
Wo aro so near tho rocks that oven tlio most
experienced and wntchfuljpilot may not bo
able to avert tho Impending peril, At sucli
a timo delay or hesitation may prove fatal to
tho hopes of tho millions who havo tlteir all
at slake. "To tho rescue I" should go up

(Irani Speaks for tlm Third Term.
At last Grant has spoken. Tho spontane
ous action of tho Republicans at Lancaster
lias unonled his Hps, unllmbcred his digni
ty nnd mado him nlfor a Inmo apology for his
reticence, nnd weave Into It a positive vindi
cation of all those who havo faithfully favor
ed his third-term pretensions, I to had been
advised that the Lancaster Convention
swelled Its highest note of enthusiasm when
tho resolution was presented absolving tlio
patty from tho folly nf Its l'rcddcnt, and
that so rejoiced wero the delegates that they
had not been mado to grind in tho prison
housoof ofllco holders nnd cowardly leaders,
that they compelled tho re-reading of the
resolution to cnablo them to glvo vent to
their hearty outburst of joy. All theso facts
havo been borno as unwelcomo messages to
tho Whito House, and with them went tho
pointed declaration that tho dollvcraneo of
tho parly in Pennsylvania was a public pro
test against the midsummer madness of n
Kcpublican President, nnd nn nbsoluto dl
vorco from his political fortunes. His hench
men were there nud spoko for him as they
plead and threatened to savo him from per
sonal indignity, ills Washington organ,
whose editorials on matters personal to him
self are at times revised bv his hand, made
war upon every Kcpublican who declared
against n third term ; but Lancaster struck
tho tldal-wavo of Kcpublican sentiment,
and ho responds with an utteranco that is
painfully inconsistent alike with tlio occasion
and with itself, that is stupidly Illogical, that
is pitiably egotistical, and that is a stubborn
bid for tho Kcpublican nomination in 1870.
In the fail of 1874 the samo issue was prom
inent in the great States, and when such
men as Governor Dix had to violato their re
serve and speak at the eleventh hour in tho
vain hope of escaping tho load of tho Presi
dent and tlio cowardice of tho party, it
would not havo been "beneath tlio dignity
of the ollico" for Grant to havo said that he
would not bo a candidate. Hut ho was not
merely silent; ho was agre3.?ive, and vindic
tively aggressive. From the day that Dlx de
clared against a third term tho Grant ollico
holders wcreagainst him ; Roberta was open
ly stabbed by Conkling for tho samo offense,
nnd the President resented the appeal for au
utterance from him, immediately after tho
elections of last fall, by pointing in triumph
to tho defeat of Dix and Roberts in New
York; to the defeat of the Republican ticket
in Pennsylvania, with Hartranftnsadeclared
candidate for President, and to tho success of
tho Republican ticket in South Carolina,
whero a distinct declaration had been made
in favor of a third term.
Hut ho declares that ho "should now
speak," because tho second Stato in the
Union has flung defiance into his face. Hut
how docs ho speak? "Now for tho third
term I do not want ila.vjtnorc than I did
the first," nnd then follows a dissertation on
the utter impotenco of a mere resolution of
a Stato Convention. Firsta resolution of a
convention makes him speak, and he speaks
to say that sueh a resolution amounts to
just nothing; that "tho people cannot bo re
stricted in their choice by resolution further
than they aro now restricted as to age, na
tionality, etc." Ho breaks his bilence to si
lence the arrogant pretensions of tho conven
tion. Its importance decides that ho "should
now speak," to prove that its deliveranco is
entirely unimportant, and then-he lectures
the politicians for undertaking to do impos
sible tilings in their zeal to stop him from
getting what ho don't now want and never
did want, but may take again, "iVit should
come under sucli circumstances n toym-iko it
"an imperative duty." And lest they might
lose sight of just "such circumstances," lio
puts tho point unmistakably that it may hap
pen, in tho future history of tho country, that
to change an Executive becauso ho has been
eight years in office will provo unfortunate
if not disastrous." Thero is tho principle
proclaimed in open defiance of tho "unwrit
ten law of tho Republic so solemnly affirmed
nt Lancaster, and tho issue is squarely mado
witli the important convention that mado
him sjeak to provo its impotence, and to
nullify its law to which it called the high
sanclionof unbroken history. Honestly an
alysed, tho letter of President Grant is a
bold vindication of his third term ambition,
a bolder bid for its advancement, and a still
bolder defiance of the deliverances of party
conventions and tho unwrittfcti law of sacred
usage ; and ho may now bo considered as
fairly in the field for 1870. Office holders

itors has been parceled out to favorites. One
man drew out of the bank $10,000 more
than the whole capital stock! Theso defal
cations and misappropriations of tho money
of the depositors commenced when Mr. Mil

al years ago. Ho was kept in tho dark in
regard to many of tho transactions of thoso
behind tho counter, and was as much if not
moro surprised than any ouo when tho truth
of tho bank's difficulties wero brought to his

this can bo accounted for only from tho fact
that ho had confidence in tho officers of tlio

atic work which can nlouo secure tho success
of democratic principles and democratic can

confidenco of tho people wo must deserve it,
Ourcounty conventions must bo composed of
our best men nud must present candidates in
whom tho people have reasonable ground to

WAsntMiTON', May !J0. President Grant
has written tho following letter to General
Harry White, President of tho recent IVnn-.
sylvniiia Republican Stato Convention
Kxmn'ivn Mansion, Wasiiinhion, D,
P., May !!'., 187. Dear Sin A short lime
subsequent to tho Presidential election of
182, tho press, n portion of It hostile to tlio
Republican party and particularly to tho ad
ministration, started the cry of Ciesarlsnmud
"tho third term," calling lustily for mo to de
fine my position on the latter subject. I be
llcvo it to bo beneath tho dignity of tho of
fice, which I havo been twice called upon to
fill, to answer such a question before tho
subject should bo presented by competent
authority to mako a nomination, or by a body
of sueh dignity nnd authority as not to make
nicplynfalr subject of ridicule. In fact I
havo been surprised that so many sensible
persons in the Republican party should per
mit their enemy to forco upon them and
their party an issue which cannot add
strength to tho party, no matter how met.
l!ut a body of tho dignity and party author
ity ofa convention to mako nominations for
St-to officers of the second Stato in tho
Union, having considered this question, 1
deem it not improper that I should now
speak. In the first place, I never sought the
ollico for a second, nor oven for a first nomi
nation. To tho first I was called from a llfo
position, one created by Congress expressly
for me for supposed services rendered to ths
Republic. The Vosltlon vacated I liked. It
would have been most ngreeablo to mo to
have retained it until such time as Congress
might have consented to my retirement witli
the rank nnd a portion of tho emoluments
which I so much needed to my home, whero
the balance of my days might bo spent in
peace and the enjoyment of domestic quiet,
relieved from tlio cares which have oppress
ed mo so constantly now for fourteen years.
Hut I was made to believo that tho public
good called mo to mako tho sacrifice. With
out seeking the ollico for tho "second term"
tho nomination was tendered to mo by a
unanimous vote of the delegates of all the
Status and Territories selected by tho Kc-
puuiicans oi cacu to represent tlicir wiiolc
number for the purpose of inakinir their
tiomin
at'.on. 1 cannot say that I was not
pleased at this, at thcovcrwhclmingcudorsc-
inent which their action received at tho
election following. Hut it must bo remem
bered that all tho sacrifices except that of
comfort had been made in excepting the
"first term;" then, too, such a firo of person
al abiiso and slander had been kept up for
fouryenrs, notwithstanding the conscientious
performance of my duties to the best of mv
understanding, though I admit in tho liglit
of subsequent events, many times subject to
fair criticism, that an endorsement from the
people, who alone govern republics, was n
gratification that it is only human to havo
appreciated and enjoyed. Now for the "third
term." I do not want it any more than 1
did tlio fir.-t. I would not write or litter a
word to chouse the will of the people in ex
pressing and having their choice. Tlio ques
tion of tlm number of terms allowed to any
onocxecutivo can only como up fairly in the
shape of a proposition to amend the Consti
tution, a shapo in which all political parties
can participate, fixing the length of lime or
tho number of terms for which any one per
son shall bo eligible for tho office of Presi
dent. Until sucli an amendment is adopted
the people cannot be restricted in their
choico by a resolution, further than they are
now restricted as to age, nationality, etc.
It may happen in the future history of tho
country that to change an Executive becauso
he has been eight years in ollico will prove
unfortunate if not disastrous. The idea that
any man could elect himself President, or
even renominate himself is preposterous. It
is a reflcction upon the intelligence and pat
riotism of tlio people to supposo sucli a thing
possible. Any man can destroy his chances
for the office, but no man can force an elec
tion or even nomination To recapitulate, I
am not, norliavo I over been a candidate for
a renomination. I would not accept a nom
ination if it wero tendered, unless it should
come under such circumstances as to make it
an imperative duty, circumstances not likely
to arise. I congratulate tho convention,
over which von presided, for tho harmnnv
which prevailed, ana for tho excellent ticket
put in tlio Held, and winch 1 hope may bo

l'i'ivato anil Public Roads.
Two cases were decided in our Courts last
week which established a principle of con
siderablo moment to land owners in this
county as well as elsewhere. And to the ef
fect that the mero permission ofa laud own.
cr to allow tho public to use a road not le
gaily laid out as a public road, does not by
time give the public a right to use it without
the owner's con-cnt. Tho cases wo allude
to were McWilliams vs. Ciimmiugs it Auten,
indicted for malicious mischief and Mc
Williams vs. Cuiamiugs & Auten in n suit
for "trespass and damage." In theso eases
it was proved that McWilliams owns prop
erty on tho north side of Montour Ridgo,
near the villago of Moorsburg, Liberty town
ship, over winch a private road leads from
the base of tho Ridgo to a distance higlier
up. Tho defendants were in possession of
somo land near tho crest of tho Ridge, off of
which they cut tho timber and conveyed it
to market. To reach tho railroad where they
desired to convey their .timber and bark, it
was necessary to pasi over tills road on Mc
Williams' estate. Tho prosecutor warned
them not to pass over the road and locked a
galo swung across tho road to prevent it.
i lie uolenuants disregarded tins warning or
the impediment of the gate, and removed
the latter forcibly, out ot which grew tho
indictment for malicious mischief and the
additional charge of trespass and deniage
Uuiuinings and Auten believed tliey Iiad a
legal right to uso the road and thoy founded
their claim on tho long timo that it had been
used. It had been thero for at le.v-t two
generations, had been repeatedly used and
from tho fact of its being so used and for so
long a period, tliey claimed that in effect it
was a public highway and could bo ued as
such. On tho other hand while tho prose
cutor admitted that tho road had been laid
out and used for tho length of timo alleged,
ho proved that it was only used by his per
mission, and that although persons had
passed over tho road occasionally without
asking that permission, tliey wero allowed to
do so on sull'raiice and not by any right they
possessed in tlio premises, and when said
owner denied such permission, as ho proved
that ho had dono frequently, it daro not bo
used. Moreover, to provo tho right that tho
prosecutor held, bars originally, and subse
quently n gato was placed acrois tho road,
tho latter locked to prevent person Using
the road without permission.
Tlio principle involved In theso eases was
whether tho road had become a public one,
through lapso of timo and usago, Tho evi
dence In botli tho suits was about tho Mine.
In tho fir.t, for "malicious mischief," lis
truo the defendants wero declared "not guil
ty," but they wero mulcted into tho costs
which was a recognition on tho part of tho
jury that they did not believo tliav tho de
fendant acted from malicious motives, yet
they had no right to pass over tho road.
Tho suit for trespass and damago was
moro stubbornly contested and much legal
ability displayed both for thosido of tho pros
ecutor and defense, and a vast nunibcrof de
cisions wero brougfit forward bearing on the
case, Mr. Comly, Esq., counsel for tho
prosecutor, brought a small library of books
to sustain Ids caso and his argument was an
exhaustive ouo. Mr. Ilaldy, on the part of
the defendant, nlQ mado a clear argument.

exceedingly repugnant to tho austere moral

A Happy Angary.
Tho Secretary of War has granted permis
sion to tho Southern Memorial Association,
with their friends, to enter the Arlington
cemetery on Juno 15th, for the purposo of
decorating the graves of the confederate
dead, with liberty to uso tho grand stand
whero the exercise, including an address will
take place.
At last, tho cxamplo set by tho Southern
people, is going to bo followed by the Gov
ernment nud people of tho North. Several
years ago, tho peoplo of tho South com
menced decorating tho graves of Southern
and Northern soldiers alike, thinking that
by-gones ought to lie by-gones, and remem
bering only that the men who fell in deadly
battle against each other, wero once broth
ers and sisters of a common country. Hut
it is only now that the United States Govern
ment, which ought to have been first to set
tho holy example of forgiveness, begins to
see that tho sentiment of tho Northern peo
ple, from whom it derived its power, is
against such littlene, and meanness of con
duct ; and hence the order has gone forth
from Helknnp to allow the Southern peoplo
to honor the graves of the men who fell in
defence of them and their "Lost Cause." It
is only now that tho Government begins to
look upon thoso brave but unfortunate and
mistaken soldiers, as American heroes ; but
thank Heaven, it is not yet too late. Here
after, wo shall notkuoweither "thoHluo" or
"tho Gray," but tho gallant soldiers who
fell on cither sido will bo duly honored by
friend and foo alike. Tho Southern hero,
sleeping in a Northern grave, shall havo his
remains cared for and his tomb beautified
with flowers; and so tho Northern hero in
his far oil" Southern grave, shall havo his
mouldering dust honored by the peoplo ho
went among to slay. Henceforth, let the
memories of tho war bo forgotten, or only
remembered with sorrow for tho woo and tho
ruin caused by the tcrriblo contest,
Truly, the pcoplo of tho South have causo
to rejoice that tlicir beautiful cxamplo of
fjrgiveness to their enemies has so softened
and touched tho heretofore hard heart of the
Government, that it lias given their "memo
rial association" tho privilege of entering
Arlington cemetery to decorate the graves
of their fallen and beloved ohcs. Last year,
wo believe, this right was denied them ; but
"timo at last makes all things even," and
soon the only icsen tin cuts that will bo felt
between the North and the South will exist
alone in the hearts of tho basest and mean

Tho Alert mi l the DinoVi.-y, two newly
ron ii issioncd veels of the Royal Navy of
England, sailed from Portsmouth on Satur
day, cn route for tho North Pole. The ves
sols have been lilted out with tho greatest
care.nnd ho ono hundred and twclvo officers
nnd men who go out upon them wero chosen
wllh especial reference to tho arduous duly
they will bo called on to perform. The com
mander of tho expedition Is Captain Nnres,
Into of tho Challenger, nn officer of great ex
perience, who distinguished hlmelf by his
extraordinary sledgojourneys dining the Po
lar expedition of 1832-5-1, for which ho vol
unteered ns mnto of the Resolute. Tho sec
ond olliccr of tho Alert, Commander Mark
hnm, has also had some experience in Arctic
exploration, The DKcovery is commanded
by Captain Stevenson, nuother good sailor,
nnd most of the subordinate officers are men
who havo made themselves notable in somo
way. It Is expected that tho vessels can
reach S2 degrees north latitude before win
tering, and every exertion will be made to
accomplish that task. From this point to
the goal of the enterprise is computed to bo
in the neighborhood of six hundred miles,
and in traversing that distance dog sledges
will lie employed. The outfit nnd prepara
tions for this portion of tho frigid task arc
most co.-tly nnd minute, and nothing is omit
ted that experience or science could suggest
Tho failures of other parlies in this depart
ment of Polar discovery were examined with
great care and circumspection, and all tho
weak spots strengthened in the best possible
manner. The plans and movements of Sir
John Franklin, Capt. McClintoek, Dr. Kane,
Dr. Hayes, nnd other laborers in tho frozen
fields of tho north were gleaned by compe
tent harvesters, and each grain of wheat col
lected and Used to the advantago of the pres
ent attempt to pierce the mysteries that sur
round the North Pole. It can thus be seen
that tho present British Polar expedition
starts upon its mission fully equipped in all
respects, Tho vessels aro firm and staunch,
tho officers competent, the crew nblo for the
work required, tlio outfit ample. Will tho
Alert and tho Discovery solve the question as
to tho North Pulo and the sea by whict it is
surrounded? Will they breast thoso waves,
which up to this time have never floated
keel of ship? That is tho point. It is well
settled that the barrier to be overcome is not
cold That can be provided for. It is how
to master distance in that part of tho globe
immediately surrounding the Pole nt the
North. That is tho real work to lie done.
Thus far in the matter of Arctic explorations
tho Americans hold an even baud with all
other nation). Dr. Kane, Dr. Hayes, and
other American pushed ahead on the icy
path, until nature had put an insurmounta
ble obstacle in their way. Morton and his
companions declared they had a sight of an
open water, which they believed was tho
real Polar Sea. It may have been the loca
tion and tho latitude all favor tho Moitou
programme. Thus matters stand at present.
And now tho British havo entered the field
for another efibit. The operations of the
Alert and Discoveiy will bo watched with
great interest in all parts of tho world, and
in no country will their success bo hailed
with greater demonstrations of real pleasure
than in the United States. Tho interests and
advancements of . science aro of toocosmopol

The (Irasshonper Scourge.
The hopes which wero raised in somo sec
tions of the West, that the severo cold of tho
past winter had killed tho grasshoppers, had
but a short duration, and the parasitic in
sects of which wo heard, that wero expected'
to destroy what tho winter spared, appear to
havo been altogether visionary. From
Southern and Western Kniis'.i, from Missou
ri and Nebraska and from somo parts of
Minnesota and Iowa, wo have the most dis
tressing accounts of the ravages of what is
now a completely naturalized plague. The
grasshoppers are still quite young and small
but they appear to be correspondingly uctivo
and voracious, devouring every green thing
in their path. A correspondent of a West
ern paper, writing from South-western Mis
souri, says: "Tho pcoplo aro nil panic
stricken; cattle and horses are dying by the
hundreds from starvation ; they can find
nothing to cat, not even buds or leaves on tho
trees in tlio woods ; everythinghas been eaten
ui) by tho pests." In the neighborhood of
St. Joseph, wo read, "millions of grasshop
pers havo mado their appearaneo and are
eating up cvcryling." In Minnesota, where
the eggs were deposited over tho wholo ter
ritory visited last season, considerable num
bers have been destroyed by natural causes,
especially in the low, damp lands ; but on
dry soil, the St. Paul Press says, "the eggs
have hatched or are hatching in such num
bers that the phiguo of Egypt stands shad
owed upon every knoll." A letter from
Western Kansas speaks of the grasshoppers,
less than a quarter of an inch in length,
swarming over everything. "Rose bushes
and nil tho plants aro stripped of every leaf,
and not a blade of grass is left ; tho wheat
is completely mined." From Southwestern
Nebraska comes a similar report, with tho
desponding remark that "after the long and
patient work of the Stato Aid Society, I fear
all tlicir labor will bo lost; our fanners had
n great deal of seed sent to them, and plant
ed good crops, only, as we dread, to feed our
lCgyptian foes." It is tho story of last year
over again, only worse, sinco thoso who boro
up under ono stripping of tlicir fields can
hardly bear a second. The pcoplo of Mis
souri, overcome by tlio magnitude of tho ca
lamity that has befallen them, have now be
taken themselves to prayer, and tho Govern
or of tho Slate has set apart a day of fasting
nnd supplication fur deliveranco from this
bcourgo.

The Twin l'lagnes
Between tho carpet-bagger and tho grass
hopper, our country has been greatly scourg
ed the past few years. Our information from
the far west, is to the effect that from all ap
pearances tho latter will repeat their ravages
this summer. If this should prove true,
thousands of families will be compelled to
abandon the west and make their way cast
as best they can, to get out of reach of the
pest. The indications in the south are that
tho carpet-baggers will do but little damage
this year, and bv the next he will be killed
oil' or find his way north to prey on his an
cestors. It will thus bo seen that while one
section of our national heritage is being de
vastated, anolhe ris being relieved nnd ren
dered prosperous, free, and happy, thus bal
ancing circumstances. The cnrpel-bng ques
tion is wholly under the control of the peo
ple, anil should long sinco have been abated ;
but the grasshopper phiguo re-t.s with Piovi
deuce, and if lie, in His wisdom, sees fit to
continue the scourge for another year, frail

nn empty pi-tol at Iho citizen, lie was
arrested, but escaped from the lock-up at
about five o'clock, by crawling through a
small jhole in tho roof. In the descent ho
fell head long upon a pile of rocks and was
badly cut nud bruised. Covered with blood
and clad only in a shut, he ran through tho
principal streets, and being recaptured and
returned to the lock-up again ell'ected his
escape. For a third time ho was locked up,
hand-cuffed and shackled to a staple, but at
eleven o'clock ho had disappeared taking his
