Comity The Whale Army Make a Solid
Cubic Mile nf Gnf-ilmppers,
Tlio gra-shoppcr question lins.it length ns-
suiiicil stupi'iHluus pnipoi lions anil alarming
importance.
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.

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

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

rer, Messrs. Audley lirowno and Elijah F
ii , , ... ...
i ouiiypacKcr, uavo written loners ol accep
tance. 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.
Wo can therefore cheerfully aud hopoful-
ly nddrciss oni'solvo to our work. I rcniaiu

Tlio Father or Waters.
Tho Mississippi river Is the guardian and
plcdgo of tho union of tho State of America.
Had they been confined lo the eastern - lopes
of tho Alleglienles, there would have been
no geographical unity between them, nnd
tho thread of connection between lands that
merely fringed tho Atlantic must soon havo
been sundered. Tho Father ofltivcrs gath
ers his waters from atll tho clouds that break
between tho Allcghcnles and tho furthest
ranges of the Hock Mountains, 'llio ridges
of tho eastern rhnln bow their heads nt tho
north nnd nt tho south; so that, long before
scienco became tho companion of man, nature
herself pointed out to thobarbarous races how
short portages join his tributary rivers to tlio
shores of the Atlantic coast. At tho other
sido his mightiest arms interlock with tho
arms of Oregon and Colorado, and by tho
conformation of tho earth itself marshals
highways to tho Pacific. From his remotest
springs ho refuses to suffer his waters to bo
divided ; but, as ho bears them all to tho
bosom of tlio ocean, tho myriads of flags
that wave abovo tho head are all tho ensigns
of ono people. States, larger than kingdoms,
llourish where ho passes ; and beneatli his
step cities start into being, more marvel
ous in their reality than the fabled creations
of enchantment. His magiiificicnt valley,
lying in tho best part of the temperate zone,
salubrious and woudcrfully fertile, is tho
chosen muster ground of tho most various
elements of human culture, brought togeth
er by men summoned from all tho civilized
nations of llio earth, and joined in tho bonds
of common citizenship by tho strong, invisi
ble attraction of republican freedom. JNow
that science has como to bo tlio household
friend of trade and commerce and travel, all
that nature has lent to wealth and intellect
the uso of her constant forces, tho hills, onco
walls of divisions, arc scaled, or pierced, or
leveled ; and tho two oceans, between which
tho republic has unassailably entrenched it
self against tho outer world, and bound to
gether across the continent by friendly liuks
of iron.
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.

Man's own safety is in doing right at nil
times, under all circumstances. It is Sa
tan's trick to mako our doing right depeud
on times and season, persons and places.
Ilo who does wrong becauso no ono will
know it, will bo terribly disappointed when
Ills sins find him out. Ho who ceases to bo
watchful and circumspect among frieuds,will
find that thoso friends in whom ho thus con
fided in an unguarded hour, will betray his
confidence and becomo his foes will rc-
buko what they before havo justified, and
license him of tho very nets which they aid
ed and encouraged him in.
Do right everywhere. There is no safetv
in sin. Confide iu no ono ; presume upon
nothing sufficcntly to do that which is wrong,
Tho watchful eyo of God is upon us, when
wo depart from Hun Ho has ten thousand
rods with which to chasten us and correct our
faults. Trust no friends ; trust not in ecrc-
iy ; trust not in" lies do right everywhere,
and trust to God to givo victory and rest.
IJo not follow the multitudo to bo evil. Do
not bo a time-server nor a tool. Stand bold,
ly up for tho truth and righteousness, and
ever livo with a solsmn coiucieneo of direct
and personal responsibility to God. Mako
no compromise with orror, sin, and wrong ;
striko no bargains with Satan, everything
which ho proposes is a delusion and a snare.
Man is weak, Satan wily, only God is true.
Trust in him ; do right everywhere, nnd Ho
shall protect, direct, aud save yon ut tho

A Shopkeeper purchased of nn Irish

which, intended as pounds, ho weighed iu

your own fault if they aro light," said Hid-

"it's your own fault, sir, wasn't it with n
pound of your own soap I bought hero that
I weighed them with?" Tho shopkcttir
had nothing to say on the bubject.
Ono of our physicians who had been great
