A fow of the government thieves have been con victed for their crimes, hut rirant's par don ha* opened the prison door*. and they are free to try it again. That's what's the matter. The Wisconsin Grangers luxe gone hark on the regnlarly-conslituted Ufo in surance companies, a* they think they detect a swindle about them, and have organised a company oftheirown. The features of the insurance company, or society, are in many respect* similar to those of the Odd Fellows' Life Insurance Company, being on the co-operative plan. Any member of a Grange, IU good health and under AO years of age. is eligible to membership in the compa ny. The fees of membership, when ad* milled, arc: Less than X 5 year* of age. $d ; from Si to 45 years of age. inclusive. $5 ; from 45 to 50 years of age, $8; from 50 to 55 years of age, sl2 ; from 55 to years of age, sls. Two thousand dollar* is the limit of insurance allowed. At the death of a member an assessment of $1 per member is made. It is now said by a party that has reached the Black Hills country, that there is no gold there; such is the dis* patch received from the Geological Ex pedition, which further states that the formations thus far discovered are of re cent geological ajre and "not aurifrroua" Oh, my that's too bad—either the first set that made tho "discovery" were a set of asses, and lied out of ignorance, or else these tatter parties are lyingin order to discourage others from going there ( thus leaving the Black Hills a prey for themselves. The thing may he as mys terious as the jewell in the Beecher- Tilton case, and somebody is lying. The headquarters of the national grange of the patrons of husbandry which even since the organization of the order in have been in Washington will probably be removed to Louisville, Ky., in a short time. At the last session of the national grange in Charleston, South Carolina, in February last, the executive committee was charged with the selection of a new point for the headquarters to be located in one of the five western states named, and the change was to be made within six months from the first of March last. The committee it is nnderstood have af ter due investigation selected Louisville, Kentucky, as the most eligible location, although it was expected that St. Louis would have been chosen. Kentucky stands number five as regards to the number of granges having J539. They have brought "reform within the party" says the Times, to a rather pain ful climax in Washington. The Repub lican, the administration organ, comes with over fifty-two large seven-column pages of advertised property for unpaid taxes, and nearly one-fourth of theprop erty-ou ners of the "city of magnificent distances" will find themselves homeless in a few days to illnstrate the reforma tory achievements of Grant's rule. The Republican intimates that "the sale of property will bear hard upon delin quents," bat it adds "that in no other way can governments be supported, and the payment of taxes is one of the oner ous duties which accompanies the many privileges of citizenship." "The many privileges of citizenship" outside of the Pilgrim-Tammanyites in Philadelphia, and the Grant-Shepherdites of Washing ton, consist chiefly of paying taxes for officials to squander upon themselves. Elections had to be abolished in Wash ington by a Republican Congress to es cape irretrievable bankruptcy, and in Philadelphia revolution'is about to come to protect the people from their own nominally chosen rulers. The question of having the doors of all public places to open on the outside is being agitated by the press, as it should be. The Chicago Tribune thus makes reference to it : Since the burning of the Catholic Church at Holyoke, Mass., it has been remarked that Canada has a law requir ing ontward-swinging doors in all charches, theatres, halls, schools, and other public buildings. This law affixes a large fine for its non-observance, and it has been rigidly enforced. It is cer tainly worthy of imitation, and would frequently save life and limbs in case of fire, or false alarms in public halls which frequently produce as much of a panic. Church-architecture is generally liberal enough in its provision of win dows, but exceedingly stingy as to doors, notwithstanding churches are usually built at sufficient distance from every other building to admit of egress on all sides. It is the duty of every communi ty to make and enforce careful precau tions against lha destruction of human life, and the dreadful church disasters during the last few years teaches tliat it would be well to require that there shall be a certain number of doors to every church, and that they shall open out ward. An outrageous stab at the liberty of the press was perpetrated a few days ago t by a Pittsburg jury, in a libel suit of D. W. Moore against the proprietors of the Pittsburg Post, awarding the plain tiff damages to the amount of SIO,OOO. The "libelous" article was published during a political campaign, and is of a nature for which no other jury on the continent would have rendered a verdict for more than a few hundred dollar at most. This verdict is unneoeemrily se ffcre and unjust, and looks mors like Spitework than the shadow of justice Such a jury belongs to the days of Jeff rie* and the bloody assises, rather than to this enlightened day when we boast ®o fondly of the liberty of the press. Messrs. Barr A Co., have our, as well as the sympathies of all just men.

The court of apj>ealsof Maryland, .*U liug at Aunapoli*, have decided the case of the Knickerbocker life iusu ranee com pany va Magil.-tlciia lVtcr*, under an ap peal of the company from a decision ol .he lower court. The company defruds its actiou under the clause in the policy which makes it void "if the assured shall die by his own hand or act." The court say* it is now too well settled to admit of question that the clause is not to be consttucteil a comprehending every possible ease in which life-is taken by the party's oxxi act; for instance, all the authorities con cur in the view that an unintentional or accidental taking of life is not within tin meaning and inteutiou of the clause. Thus, if by inadvertauce or accident a party shoots himself, or takes poison by mistake, or in a sudden frenzy or delu sion tears a bandage from a wound aud bleeds to death, in the literal sense ot the term* he die* by his own act ; yet all the decisions agree that u reasouabli construction of the proviso, according to theplaiuand obvious intention of the parties, would exclude such canes trow its operation. The action of self destruction in this case washy hanging, and the court in structed the jury that the clause in ques tion would not prevent a recovery if they found from the evidence, first, that the deceased killed himself in a tit of insan ity which over powered his conscious ness, reason and will, and thus died from a mere blind and uncontrollable im pulse, and that, aAer they are satisfied he died by his own hand, it becomes in cumbent on the plaintiff, on her part, to offer proof sufficient to prevent theopcr ation of the clause, and she does not comply with such exigency bv prool merely that he was insane at times. She must prove that he was insane when the act was committed, and in the absence of proof of his condition at the precise time when the act was committed, they must presume he was then sane, and they cannot draw an inference that he was insane from the fact that he de stroyed his own life. These instructions, says the Judge, state the law more ex plicitly and more favorably for the in surer than is found in any of the Amer ican authorities to which we have re ferred, or to which attention has been called in argument. The court say in effect that when the act of self-destna tion is done during insanity, it is a dcatl by accident. They have examined th* record in the case and cannot say thai "there was no evidence legally sufficient to authorize a jury to infer and find that the deceased killed himself in a fit ol insanity." The judgment of the court below, the court of common pleas of Bal timore, which found for the plaintiff. Magdelana Peters, was affirmed. FRESH FOOD FROM PASTURES SEW. From being eaten up by grasshoppers, the people of the West have taken to devouring their visitors themselves. Tin other day at a Missouri town the exjK-r --iment of serving up a dinner composed exclusively of these tin that region) in numerable insects, was tried, and, as we are informed by the local pa[>er, witl, the most complete success. The course* were not all complete, it is true, and what there were of them were confound ed, but, nevertheless, the entertainment passed off very pleasantly ; the several dishes were not only palatable but deli cious, and as the editor of the Warrenc burg News did not write his report until several hours after rising from the table, it is fair to presume that the effects were not unhealthly, and that his digestion is still unimpaired. f*oup was first served, of course ; "it tasted like chicken," and after a little seasoning—there is nothing like condiments—had been added, the gourmand of an editor detected a deli cate flavor of mushroom, upon which most noble esculent the grassliopj>ers had doubtless breakfasted that very morn. Then came lmtte- cakes, in which grasshoppers were well mixed, and these were so good that this journal istic fine feeder tells us they "quickly dis appeared," a remark as full of meaning as the grasshoppers were of meat. Next baked "hopj*>re," as our facetious feeder, now in the midst of the delights of the appetite, familiarly called them at this stage, were tried, and with the utmost satisfaction. No taint ofgrease or suspi cion of sauce was permitted to accompa ny this course, which was undressed and unadorned. Like its predecessors, it was pronounced excellent. To cap the climax of the feast desert was brought on—it was the food of John the Baptist when preaching in the wilderness of Ju dea—honey and wild locusts, and the glutton of an editor, now deep in his dishes, declares that he does not wonder that the great apostle thrived ujHn the fare, although he seeins to forget that it was probably the fruit and not the insect which was referred to in Matthew, third chapter, fourth verse. Finally, to grace the whole affair, the satiated newspaper man of Missouri tells us that henceforth he will esteem grasshoppers as a luxury to be classed with the juicy bivalve, the inspiring mushroom and the seductive truffle. We have from the first believed that the best way to get rid of the grasshop per wa 6 0 eat him, and if we ever had any doubts & the subject they are now completely dissipated He is a dainty insect this agile traveler frog} plains, cleanly in his habits and fhslidipuy ML, renting hi* food.

T>U, <>. MINN: ASP NIN H HOAI Two ca*c* were decided in our t'ourt.* I last week which established a principle of considerable moment to land owners in this count) tut v eil ti*elsewhere. And j to the effect that the mere |H-rmi**iott of I a land owner to allow the public louse a road not legally had out a* a public j road, doc* not by time give the public a j right to use it without the owner's con- > soul. The case* we allude to were Mi'- i Williams v*. CummingsA Auten, indict-; ed for malicious mischief and McWill iams vs Cumming* A Auten in a suit for "trespass and damage." In these cases it was proved that Mc William* win property on the north sideofMon tour Ridge, near the village of Moors burg, Uliertv township, over which a private ro.nl lead* from the base of the Unlgv to a di(aucc higher up. The dc-! fondants were in possession of some land near the crest of the Ridge, off of which | they cut the tiuili-r and conveyed it to market. To reach the railroad where they desired to convey their tiuilwr aud bark, it was necessary to pass over this road on M. Williams' estate. Tlteprose cutor warned them not t> jigs.* over the road and locked a gate swung acr<>.** the road to prevent it. The defendants dis regarded this warning <>r the iwpedi ment of the gate, and removed the latter forcibly,out of which grew the indict* ureut for malicious mischief and the ad ditional charge of tn*|vi.s* and damage. Camming* and Auten believed they had a legal right to Use the road and they founded their claim on the long time that it had been used. It had been therefor at least tw" generations, had been repeatedly UMII and fremi the fact of it* leing so used ami for so long a pe riod, they claiui sl that in effect it was a public highway anil could Is- used a* such. Oa the other hand while the prosecutor admitted that the road had been laid out and used for the length of time alleged, he proved thut it was only used by his permission, and that al though jiersons had paused over the road occasionally without asking that j*-r --missiou, they were allow ed to do so on suffrance and not by auy right they pos sessed in the premises, and when said owner denied such permission, as lie proved that he had done frequently, it dare not be used. Moreover, to prove the right that the prosecutor held bars originally, and subsequently a gate was placed across the road, the latter locked to prevent persons using the road with out permission. The principle involved in these case was whether the road had become a public one, through lajse of time and usages. The evidence in loth the suits was about the same. In the first, for "malicious mischief," its true the de fendants were declared "not guilty," but they were mulcted into the costs which was a recognition on the part of the ju ry that they did not believe that the de fendant acted from malicious motives, yet they had no right to pas* over the road. The suit for tresjoss and damage was more stubbornly contested and much le gal ability displayed both fur the side of the prosecutor and defense, and a vast number of decisions were brought for ward bearing on the case. Mr. Couily, Esq., counsel for the prosecutor, brought a small library of books to sustain his case and his argument was an exhaus tive oue. Mr. Baldy, on the part of the defendant, also made a clear argument. After a lucid charge from the Judge, the jury went out and soon agreed on a verdict in favor of the prosecution. As we have stated, the principle established is an important one and will )• uf much benefit in preventing trespass in the fu ture, creating bad blood ami in the end protracted and expensive litigation.— DanritU lutrlligenrrr. THE THIRD TERM. A KKI'TTIMCAN VIEW OF GRANT'S LETTER. [ liorton TrarfUer.] President Grant, on the 29th of May, wrote a letter to General White, C hair man of the late Republican State Con vention of Pennsylvania, in which lie disposes of the third tenn business. Un fortunately, the letter is so worded that it confirms the impression that the wri ter of it did mean to run fora thin! term, should he be offered a third nomination for the Presidency. The entire tone of •the letter favors the view that he would have broken through the rule of Wash ington—a rule enforced by the great ex amples of Jefferson and Madison, MODS roe and Jackson—had he been request ed to do so ; and we all know that n President is uncommonly well situated for obtaining a nomination. It is not an agreeable thing to read; the President's letter, for the language in which it is written is that ofa man who thinks lie has been ill used, generally, and partic ularly when he was taken from the i*st of General of our standing army to lie made President of the United States. We must confess that we can't see the ill usage to which he has been subjected, for if he did not wish to leave the place he held in 18(14-09, he could have mid so —and it is just possible that the coun try could have found sonic one else to take the Presidential chair, six years since, jVs to the rewards for his m rvj ces, they may not be equal to the value received, for his deeds were great and have won for him immortal fame, which is no light thing in the estimation of nil generous spirits. HUH, we think the re turns for his services have been large, and we know that they are all the couu try hail to give—und whoso gives every tiring, gives much. He was mode Major- General, Lieu tenant-General, aud Gen eral. He was elected to the Presidency , of the United States, in 1808-0, by u I great electoral vote, speaking the sense of a very great majority in the populnr 1 vote. Then ho was re-clected to the Presidency of the United States by an ' almost electoral vote, speuk- ' ing the sense o tui jjioj-mous popular majority, such as no Presidential wJi "late ever before had received at trie close of a hotly-contested conflict, and , gycfe as.

We believe it appeared in a Williamsport paper about five years "A oor-e*pondent of the Clinton Deuio erst, in referring to the origin ef local nsmet in Clinton county, slates that "Bald Eage creek took its f.ame fr. m the large number of Agios of thst *p< cies that were formerly found along its entire course attracted thither probably by the large number uf fish and wild ducks that inhabit its waters. The mountain along that stream has been known by tbe same name." The wnter of this article having been born on the banks of tbe Raid Eagle, more than sixty years ago. and spent his boy hood there is able to give the true origin of the name >'f that stream, the valley through which it runs, and the mountain which forms their southern border.

WHY THE WHISKEY RAID' A -Milwaukee Journal Proftaea to Kxplaiu the Milk tu the Cocoanui. < Miwaukee News, June 4 ] v While Congress at Its late session was It perfecting the Tax law. raising the tax on n whiskey from 70 to yO cents a gallon— K stock on hanJ to be exempt from tbe ad r dmonal tux—speculators were active and - l-u-y securing vast stocks of whiskey in - expectation of the profil.lo.be derived from . the advance. J'roduction was greatly . stimulated, and whukajr "j,oo!," were formed in all the money centres, in nearly | t all of which rud cal members of Congress were interested. To this fact it is owing not only that tbe stocks on hand were ex t empted from the tax, but that the delays a and lucluglioi)* in tbe legislation on that. f subject occurred by which tiy.e and oppor-' i tunny were given the speculators to per-) ; fect their purchases and establish their. , margins. Singularly enough, after the { law had passed raising the tax nearly DO s per cent, there was no peacepliblc advance . in the selling price of trhiskey. The mar .j kols uid fcof respond as was expected. The . over production had mnta than supplied r the market, and the additional lax had been discounted >n advance. Theexpect ■ *d profits of the pools, including specula > fiye of Congress, were not real ised, and could net be realised unless the market should bo forced up. \J"hat way f: to be done? We will tell you. Certain persons high in authority mado a hasty visit to New York. Certain interviews . were there had. Shortly afterwards the Country was startled by the rmwt astound ing acts of confiscation and seizure. With- I out proceas of law $50,OU),000 worth of .property was taken from the rightful own j <>r and placed it; l ''o hands of irresponsi ble men. Npica, informars , w d officers swaruied over the country with in definite instructions and unlimited powers. As n result, on the 10th of may there was not, w illi a few exceptions, a distillery in operation in the North-west. The parties whose property was seized appealed in . irw.i to the courts,' asking under I the law the of giving bonds with ! sureties in open court for the resumption of their busincs. Instructions came from WashingPm not to allow bonds to be giv- 1 'en* The local district-attorneys, aided by 'miposfejtl pounsels and gang* of detectives were instructed to *gUo£' the bonding to the bitter end, and even distinguished lawyers were called in to thus keep the Federal courts from allowing a release of ' tbo property. Of course the production ol J spirits wus thus delayed, and tbo market . to thul extent was afTocted. After the < curt* had under the law roleasod tbe dia- 1 tilleriee, orders CHIUO immediately from \N ashinglon not to let distilleries resume. • Under tbo luw it is nescssary that a store keeper assigned b.v the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should be in attendance at the distilleries while running. When the court- uu- p~linouished the properly, ( in order to make further delay came t from Washingtonthutslere-kucpersshould ' be withdrawn and new bonds given. Thus ( further delay of several duy was obtained | in spite of the court*, utid somebody'* Je- < .-ires w>e p-'ailllcd. The production ol ' spirits haying been thus luvyoi.lc:', what c was) the result? Spirits went up in the I market. A Urge advance took place at " onpe, |ipd thus the heavily laden had an r opportunity to unload, and their hearts ! were made light. In ull ti.a past history ' of revenue, it ha* always been the policy of the government to allow a distillery to rosuine us soon as the government was 1 tii-.de secure. Why should these saiznrtj be mado un exception to the rule ' What i ittere*; hat the gorernoivut in cutting off U>e , feel and all, up on the chair / " W hat is the matter ?" said 1. "The dog, the dog." said he. "He will not bile you, >aid 1. "Rut tbe dog must not touch us," isaid be "Why not?" inquired I. Then before giving any one else a chance to put in a word, he delivered himsell thus: | "You ask why. but you mutt not ask why. i We have laws here in India which we .Must Obey Without Asking the Refit son. For instance, the judge of the court says 1 come at ten o'clock. 1 must not ask why. So we have these religious laws fb Hindoos had their law-givers, who -aid the Brahmins must not he touched by -logs, we do not ask why. They said, too. I must wear a string around my neck and 1 shoulders ; 1 wear it, hut 1 do not know - why. They said, too, I must make these i marks on my forehead which you see. 11 you ask me why, 1 cannot answer. No ' iuan knows why. If The Law >givera ' were now living you might ask them " They could tell you the reason. There wus a great man called Mahoinmet. He gave laws for the Mahon.tneuans, butlhey do not know the reasona Ho there was a ' man called Jesus Christ, wno gave you your laws, but you cannot tell the reason lor them N>w If Menu and Mshommet stid Jesus Christ were living, we might ask them for the reason of their laws, bui ' these men are ait d> ad and we must follow . iheir luw, but we do not know why." "Then you think Jesus Christ was sim ply a law giver, like Mahomuicl and Me nu T' Brahmin—' Tliee were all great men whom God sent into the world Menu was t sent to give laws tu the Hindoo*, Mab-.m met to another c ass of people, and Jesus 1 Christ to give laws to you." "You say God sent thenr Is there then only one God, and do we all helieva in the same ?' Brahmin—"Only one God.' "Is not this God a good being, and do you think He is pleased to see you Brah mins oppressing and despising the lowei qa*tes and Pariahs V (outcasts}. 1 Krahmin —"The-c laws of castes are giv en for the belter regulation of society here i'ln this world. In the neit world there is no cast . all who are seise (wholly sancl'fi ed are admitted into heaven, whether they are Pariahs or Brahmins or Chris : tians." "What if you should die to-night' Would you go to heaven?" Brahmin—"l do not know ; I wouid go I to the judgment of God. and if 1 should he \ found wise I would be admitted into heav en, if not I should be cast into hell '' "Will you be kind enough to explain : w hat you mean by the word "wise T' i Brahmin —"I can hardly d • that Our . books say that when a man is wise he hsr, no more need of any comforts, and he lakes no more notice of anything around i bun, but thinks only of God." 1 asked him then whether he had ever , seen a "wise" man At th.s he gave a hearty laugh, and said he believed he had f never seen one. I then compared with his the doclrinei of the Christian reliipon which teach that not works but by faith . we are justified, and that good men should i not withdraw themselves frm the world, but by contract uaka all around ibeui wiser and betteC Thus we talked far an hour. Pasting from the subject of religion to that of Female Education, ' . lie remarked that the Brahmin* and Su dra* of Guntur ilhe two highest castes were making an rffort to establish a girl's school "What," said I, "following the , example ol the Christians ? " At this he smiled, and said be did not see why I need ' look at in that war, for in the old tunc* the Hindoos did educate their women. Upon dismissing him (what this means, ; 1 will explain some other time), I present ed him with a copy of the map of our mis -1 si on field in India—prepared by the Chil i dreii's Missionary Society—which he ap preciated very highly. Byway of explan ation 1 may add that the concessions which this Brahmin made in favor of one God. one judgment- pa heaven, etc., are not ~ strictly what they but to avoid dis , cussion he waived for a time his Brahnii ' nical orthodoxy. We shall be aible to draw a ft wconclu ijsions from the toregoing : 1. That the high caste people of India, especially, hare acute, subtle and well in form'd minds. 1 That their caste institution* and preju dices are being gradually undermined bv ' the influences ofChrislianity and foreign ; intercourse. 1 8 Thst the efforts of the missions at fc . male education are inciting the natives to activity in the same direction. 4. That the real progress of the tnissien ary work cannot be estimated by thenum ber of converts, but by its vast indirect re Democrat. 111 1 ■ ■ 1 . . i.' ..." a. wtxsoy. t. *. aires. a.a arras WILSON & HICKS.
