All cur histories, theories anil iiroiiliccics of 187-1 are iipsct by the fuels of 1S70. Then tve saiil that the only proline anil durable home of this pest is tho high, dry, hot and stony plateaus of Arizona, and Xeiv Mexico; that away from their fatherland they suddenly degoneruto and perish in tho third generation. Then, wo said, that ex cept in ono county in Kansas, no egg depos its were made that would hatch this year ; that ono portion of tho army of 1S71 propa gated early in tho season, and their progeny laid eggs which hatched before tho iarly frosts, and tho tender hoppers pci'Micd ; that the remaining portion 'cumo too lato and laid no eggs. Xotv, what aro tho facts? Grasshoppers havo hatched out in every county in Kansas and Xebraska, and in portions of Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri, tvliilo in south-eastern Xebraska, eastern Kansas and western Missouri, whero tho seourgo was comparatively light in 187-1, such an army has como forth from the ground and perpe trated such ruin, ns had not been known in tho history of this pet. Thus all our wKo ascertainments prove fallacious, and tve might as well stop proph esying. Much, however, as wo aro iu tho dark re specting their pa-d, and much more as tvoare in tho dark respecting their future, several things may bo put down ns certain and oth ers at probable, and taken together, theso facts and probabilities present a most up palling view of tho situation : 1. Tho American locust will ncclimato and thrivo in any part of tho continent. If his eggs will live through such a long severe winter as last winter was iu Minnesota and Nebraska, pressed in solid (ro.en earth, then they will endure any winter that will ever occur on tho continent. 2. They aro increasing in numbers aud general distribution, and getting farther ca-t year by year. Wo know this from personal observation for tlio hist thirteen year?. 3. Wherever hatched, their custom is to rise up iu swarms aud migrate, when fully Hedged. They cannot go against tlio wind and aro disposed to yield to Its course. Hut it seems ipiito plain that, when they onco mako a start with the wind, thy will not materially change their cmiro if tho wind does change, but settle down and wait till it conies around again to favor their first direc tion. After making a long journey they are liable to return over substantially tho samo course. Their principal havoc was mado last year on their return trip. 1. Tlio winds provident in tho whole coun try west of the Mississipi, from spring tn fall nro from south to north, and return, llenco their progress eastward has been, and still may bo slow. lint still, just assoniodc' tachnicnt, meeting a curieiit iu high alti tudes was borne- to Wayno county, Indiana, this year, so another may do noxt year, or a smaller or larger number may thus bo homo to Ohio or Pennsylvania, 5, It seems impossible to give people, who havo not seen with their own eyos, any nde ipiato idea ut tho numbers, destructive pov ers, and utterly uncontrollable movement of Ihoso pests, It Is really amusing to us who know, to read tho advice of our eastern friends, to guard against them, by raising lots of turkeys, letting tho birds live, dig ging dltchts uud setting pans of lime water in them, smoking with straw, setting nets, ke. What aro such playthings worth against millions on millions ot insects, each of which can jump 20 feet at a jump, or fly 20 miles per Hour, 10 hours nt a stretch 7 If all tlio turkeys nnd birds of tho continent had been collected in l'latto county In 1871, they would havo mado no perceptablo Impression ou them. What the incvitablo Yankee niav yet in vent ns an instrument of effectual fright or destruction, wo would not call In question nirr i.ook at this piciri:i: and hi: AMAznn. Tills year, tho locusts that were hatched in Xebraska, Kansas and Missouri, commenced passing over tho latitude of Columbus on Juno lath, and continued to fly for thirteen days, omitting only threo days In tlio time, they continued to fly at tho rato of 10 miles an hour, r hours a day, and tho vast nnny measured 400 milc9 cast and west, from flank to Haul;. At tho universities of Kntnas and Xebras ka, measurements were mado with optical and mathematical Instrument-, nnd tlio ver tical depth of the army commencing 500 foet abovo ground, was found to bo a full mile. This data, being nuito ascertainable, mav be safely assumed. What number of insects should bo reconed to a glvcu space, is more ilillictill to determine but wo venture to say one to tho cubic yard. Many good judges would say ono to tho cubic foot ; but wo will say, what perhaps no ouo will question, ono to the cubic yard. Now, take a forly-acre-fleld, how many locusts would bo directly over it at any given moment? Forty acres contain lD.'l.OOO square yards. Multiply this by tho vertical yaidsofthe army 1.700 and the result is the amaztng total of 330.737.000. Over a homestead tiiere would bo four times this number, or 1.282.011.000. Over a square mile, fi.l!U.77G.OOO. Over a township, 181,743,041.000. Over an ordinary county, threo trillions. Leaving off a largo fraction, fivo billions of tlicso insects aro directly over each square milo at any and every moment, for five hours daily during ten days, aud are passing at tho rate of ten miles per hour. Xow come to our aid, thou grand old ar ithmetic and let the army bo numbered. 1'Asstxo ovmt oNi: SQi'Anr, mimi. Fifty billions per hour, 200 billions per day, and 2J trillions in 10 days.

Passing over each mile north 20 trillions per hour, 100 trillions per day, and 1 quad rillion in all during tho 10 days. lint becauso neither wo nor any of our readers have any proper conception of tho value of such numbers, as applied to insects, wc chango the figures to denoto quantity and bulk. Wo havo taken somo pains to as certain the facts near enough for practical purposes. There are about O.GOO livo locusts or 10.000 dead ones to the bushel. From this data we get the following estimate. Passing over a furly-acre-lield at any mo ment 3.1.172 bushels. Over a homestead. 151.SS8 bushel, or if theso were all dead, 31.083 bushels to the 40 acres, and 130.202 bushels to the homestead, or more than five bushels to the square rod. Kissing over ono square milo 5.20S.333 bushels per hour; 2ii.031.0li.) per day, and 200.41C.G.)0 bushels iu 10 days. This would make a pile 1 milo square, G feet 3 inches high. Passing a square township 187.490.9SS bushels per hour, 037.430.910 bushels per day, and 0.374,999.400 bushels iu all. This maks a pile, ouo mile square, two hundred mid twenty-five feet high. Passing over a common sized county 3 billion bushels per hour; lo billion bushels per day, and IfiO billion bushels in all. This would mako a pile 4 miles square and 225 feet high. Wliolo army passing ouo milo north 1.- 0S3.333.333 bushels per hour, 10.41G.GGG GG5 bushels per day, and 101.1GG.GliG.G50 bushels in all. This would mako a pile of 4.800 -202.331 cubic yards; or, including largo fractions omitted in all the foregoing calcu lations, ono full cubic mile a mountain of locusts a mile long, a mile wide and a milo high. Como ou now witli your turkeys and birds, your ditches and limo water 1 Ha ! ha ! ha ! Hut, alas 1 this is too serious a matter for sportive words. Tho calamity is fast assuming a national aspect. Unless somo adequato natural cause or somo divino cause shall interpose, one pait of this continent will havo to clothe and feed tlio other for many years to come, Tims far, tho damago which tho locust could do if his armies were to light down in forco in a cultivated country is only feebly foreshad owed. Xot ono in a million iu this west ern world has ever tasted tho cultiva ted fields, but wo havo the most tcrribio proofs (jf their capabilities. Whero they hatched in vast nbinbers this year, they took everything clean within forty days after their incubatiuu. Then going north at an av erage ilistaneo of fifty miles per day for tho whole army, somo portions much more uud somo much less, n mere fraction of thoso passing over would light to rest and feed, nml in many cases not a stalk would be left to mature. In IS hours, or 21 hours, some times in fivo hours, all is'gone. This year, thank Heaven, they commenced their work so early that gardens and grain fields could bo replanted. For somo reasons, nlso, tlio iminenso swarms that havo lighted down iu central Xebraska havo douo but little eat ing, their object being rather to rest. At this date, (.luno 20) they are mostly beyond all tho settlements far in tho north. Hut tho laud is iu dread suspeme, and will bo until tho crop is matured, lest, as last year iu J illy, tho devouring host shall consume what is left. Hut suppose these legions should next year como down ou tlio gardens, grain fields, meadows, vineyards and orcnards of Ohio, human power would bo unavailing nothing green would survive, l.ct tlio inappropriate term, grasshopper ho diopped and thlscontinentarpont be dig nllled by his lit title of American Locust, For Ills aspirations anddesilny nro continen tal invasion and national calamity, Was it this or somo other similar post that destroyed tlio mighty agricultural and com mercial nation? of pre-lilstoric America? Xo theory is so feasible. Tho process is easy. fs',i!)sstenco inn t como out of tho ground, it would only require tho coincidence of a few prolldo years of this insect spreading over tho nation upon tho tciuler crops to lay tho people in tho dust from starvation.

Tho following is tlio letter of Mr. llrowne, tho tiomlneo for Governor : .1AMII3 IJI.ACIC, EQ., ClI.UH.MAN OF PltO- liinrnoN Statu Conviintion Dear Sir: "Your letter of tho 10th inst.. has already been briefly acknowledged, and now with tlio resolutions to which you referred before me, I am able to answer more formally. I accept tho nomination mado mo by tho Prohibition party us their candidate for tho ollico of Governor of Pennsylvania, with the issues involved and approval of tho princi ples announced, and am happy that I share the responsibility of being their standard bearer with so excellent and eminent a citi zen as Mr. Penny-packer, and thus to bo by their act a public representative of the deep moral and religious convictions of thousands of tho purest citizens of tlio Commonwealth, who aro painfully impressed wltii tho need of a general reform lu politics and deliver ances from tho rttlo of unscrupulous party leaders, and who now feci this need with new force aiuco tlio lights of tho people havo been recklessly sacrificed by theso leaders to tho demands of tho liquor traffic. These party leaders are upon ono sido and con science upon tho other, and tho contest be tween them is tho pressing issuo of tlio times. Tho position assigned mo iu tho con test is ono that I could not have sought ; yet it is ono from which, when thus assigned, I cannot shrink. Tlio causo is unmistakably God's; His providenco works out tho way. and men aro of small account, except as in struments to do His will and accomplish His work:, it is a l.ivorablo omen for our work that thoso wo opposa havo themselves pre sented tho issues so clearly, and that as the result ol their action, so profound a sense of indignation pervades tho entire State. To tlio wrongs essential to tho lecalized traffic in intoxicated drinks is now superadded tho fact at tho bidding of this traffic, tho Lt. -laturo and Governor have stricken down tho local option law, and by so doing I!lV0 removed tlio protection of prohibition en joyed by the people of two-thirds of the State, anil restored this traffic against tho expressed will of tho citizens. Tho local option law was a tender of protection ; forty-one out of sixty-six counties had accept ed it. The Supremo court had approved its constitutionality ; under its provisions these counties enjoyed a protection which they es teemed their just right against a destructive traffic which lives only by tho snares it sets for tlio wealth growing out of tho people's productive industries, while it ruins the lives and morals of citizens, imposes heavy burdens of taxation, and sows tlio seeds of indolence, tliriftlessness, disorder, underline. The law provided fur an election every tltiid year to adopt anew or reject its provisions. Tho people concerned were satisfied with this law. Within a year, if dissatisfied they could havo declared the fact at tho polls, and their verdict would havo afforded light to every legislator's mind. If they were sat isfied, who, under our popular system of government, and with a law constitutionally affirmed, had a right to object ? Legislators aro elected to represent the popular will, especially tho popular conscience ; and in this easo thoso wero so definitely expressed as to bo beyond mistake. Yet we havo tho spectacle of a Legislature stripping entire communities of their dearest rights as citi zens and most valued safeguards, and of tlio liovcrnor of the Commonwealth sanctioning tlio outrage by appending his signature to tho bill aud thus making it a law. Hut tho ballot remains to us tlio most of- fectiveprntest against political wrongs and surest piotection of tho freeman's rights, as it is also tlio dread of every public servant who has betrayed his constituency and stands again before them for their votes. That wo should now use it for our defense iwakcns tho liveliest alarm ; and we nro met with appeals to keep this question out of polities, as if it wero not already in ; and sinco prohibit on and licenso aro each of them political measures, cauuot by any pos- sibilty bo kept out. Wo nro also appealed to nut to maintain a party on this issue, but to seek our object through existing parties, although it is existing parties that havo per petrated this gross and monstrous wrong, and wo aro also warned that by our separate action wo will bo responsible for the destruc tion of "tho only party that can save tho country," as if a party could save tho cotiu try which can no longer avo itself. In con tradiction to all this tlio first need of tho hour, citizens should teach their public servants that conscience is an clement of power in American politics never to bo aban doned ; that tlio senselessness nnd temerity of party leaders who ignore tlio conscience of enlightened and virtuous citizens and count on their votes to indorse unrighteous acts, must bo rebuked by thoo very votes ; and that if parties follow their leaders to a merited destruction, new and healthful or ganization will nriso and fill their places and accomplish their destiny tho better as they tako warning by tho fato of parties be fore them that havo onco been popular but havo perished for their sins. Our own party leprescnts tlio spirit of reform demanded by tho times. It is uo artificial chim'iery, but a creation of God oud an outgrowth of tho convictions of a great christian people, who will never ceaso their protest at tlio ballot box while tlio cm uf God and humanity require it.

How Tin: Hindoos lino aud Wojin.v. Tho famous passago of tho lulnia Parana, translated by Abbo Dubois, has been part ot tlio domestic code of tho Hindoos four thous ands of years. According to tlio Hindoo lawgiver, a woman has no God on earth but her husband, and no religion except to grati fy, obey, and servo him. Let her husband bo crooked, old, infirm, offensive ; let him bo irascible, irregular, a drunkard, a gam bler, a debauchee ; let him bo rcckle.-a of his domestic afiiiirs, ns if possessed by a devil; though ho livo in tho world without honor; though ho ho deaf or blind, and wholly weighed down by crime and infirmi ty still shall his wife regard him as her God. With all her might shall she serve him, in all things obey him, see no defects in his character, and give him no cause of uneasi ness. X ay, more; iu every stage of her ex istence woman lives but to obey at tlio first her parents, next her husband and his pa rents, and in her old ago sho uuut be ruled by her children. Xevcr during her wholo lifo can she be under her own control. Theso aro tho general principles upon which tho lifo of woman in India is to lo conducted. Tho Hindoo writer was consid erate enough to add a few particulars : "If her husband laughs, sho ought to laugh ; if ho weeps, she ought to weep ; if ho is dis posed to speak, sho ought to join in tho con versation. Thus is tho goodness of her na ture displayed. What woman would eat till her husband had his fill? If ho abstains, she will surely fast nlo ; if ho is sad, will sho not bo sorrowful ? and if lie is gay, will bho not leap for joy ? In the absence of her hus band her raiment will bo mean." Such has been tlio conception of woman's duty to mau by all tho half-developed races from time immemorial, and such to this day aro tho tacit demand and expectation of tho brutal ized males of tho more advanced races.
