Aw. Interesting Sketch.
[From the Lancaster Express.]
hMiey ” iS W3a loousts and wild
Passing aiong one of the principal
streets of the City of “Brotherly jLove,”
near the close of a beautiful day in the
monm of October, I indistinctly ob
served upon a fruit stand a number of
C f*** oblong, flattened objects,
“Jght % very easily have been mis
takeix for what the loversof the narcotic
weed call “Plantation cigars.”. On in
-11-was informed by the obseqcffous
and 'somewhat loquacious vender, of!
these and other et ceteras, that thev
were “St. John’s Bread”-thebread that
John the Baptist lived upon in the
Wilderness of Judea—and “going for
only five cents for three of them.” I
tasted and purchased; and found them a
targe, brownish colored bean-like pod,
the largest about six inches in length
and in saccharine substance and flavor
unlike that of the common
•date, .but not so moist and soft. In short
these ppds were the fruit of the “Carob
Tree” —Ceratonia siliqua— which i« ge
*endly considered to be, the locust tree
•of Scripture, and; hence ‘ many people,
and specially in Spain, where it grows
abundantly and is, eaten, call the fruit
of it ‘Saint John’s bread,’ and believe
that John the Baptist partook daily of
Tins fare whilst he was preaching in the
wilderness.- A want of a knowledge of
natural history, as well as of eastern
manners and customs, has induced
others to fancy that the “locusts” which
John the Baptist fed npon were the ten->
her shoots of plants, and that the “wild
.honey”, was the pulp of the pod of the
Carob tree.
The seeds or beans of this tree, are said
to be veiy nutritions, and in the South
•of Spain, where it is very common, they
often formed the principal food of the
.British cavalry horsed during the war
•of 1812. There seems to be better reason
to suppose, according to some writers,
that the shells of the carob pod might
nave been the “husks” which the prodi
gal son desired to partake of with the '
swine; because, although the seeds no
■doubt are most nutritious, yet the pods i
themselves contain an agreeable saccha
rine matter, not at all ungrateful or un- !
appeasing to the appetite of a hungrv '
man. , . J
The common American locust— RdbU
niapseudacaciar- bears a similar p o d to
to the.carob, only much smaller and less
fleshy; yet, before they become too dry,
they are often sought by the boys, for
the sugary matter which some of them
contain; and this is especially the case
with a species commonly called the
“honey; triacan
thos—which, although always a larger
thorned and podded tree, yet does not
naually. attain the large size of the for
mer, or “post locust,” as it is sometimes
called.' * ' ■“
Bat in good truth, without denying
the possibility of the thing, and without
assuming any force from the literal re
cord that John’s meat was locusts and
wild honey, we do not think that the
fecriptures alludes to the pod of the
'Carob tree at all, as the bread of John the
-Baptist. Availing ourself of the only
other biblieal reference to which we
have access, we find in our German -New
testament that “seine speise aber war
Jieuschrecken und wilder hona." Now
speise means food, nourishment, vic
tuals: avd “heuschrecken” literally
translated, means, according to the Ger
man dictionary definition, lScusts, grass
hoppers. Prom this and other testimony ’
* h ® re isabimdantreason to infer that
John the Baptist’s food was locusts}
that is,msectmod—probably the Locusta
migratorm of Asia and Africa- the
nearest resemblance to which, in habits
and form, in this latitude, is what we
■commonly call a “grasshopper.” The
name of loaust —the seventeen year
locust for instance, which we apply to
an insect of another natural order, and
'®f different antomical structure,
•different form and different habits,
us entirely a misnomer. That insect
belongs to the genus Cicada; and
although the seventeen • year' spe
cies, is peculiar alone to the con
tinent of North America, yet, there are
over two hundred and fifty species of
'■them described, as existing in different
marts of the world, not one of which
has received a name that can by any
means be translated, corrupted or con
torted, into that- of locust. In England
they have revived the common name
cf “harvest flies,” and among other
nations, other appropriate common
names. In the United States alone
they appear to have received the name
5* IO . CUBfc - Any thinking reader of
bcripture, or of profane history, giving
-an account of the ravages of the migrat
gratory locusts of Asia and Africa
could not be very long in coming to the ;
•conclusion that the insects there alluded

tQ could not possjibly have been of the
same.species of order* as the. one to
which illiterate Americans apply'that
®’ rom the fi rst appearance of the
" Cicada septendeoim until its final
death,and disappearance, it does notiiu
clude a term, ordinarily, longer than
.three weeks, and during that period,
nothing has been recorded, and no ob
servations have been made, eliciting the
fact that it eats anything at all; its
Whole-mission ( appearing to be, to pro
vide for the continuance of its species
shortly after which it dies, and becomes
foor for other animals.' . ! > ?■;
The three locust, or pod-bearing trees
which I have named, must not be by
any means confounded with a plant
called the lotus,-ot which both theseeds
and‘roots are edible. This latter is an
fquatic plant, and belongs to the
‘ Water-lilies’ '—ZympAea— abounding
in thehottestparts of Ihdia, Africa, and
America, but more particularly in the
F£rt 8 a N dn 7fu a °f..Jamaica, and along
the banks of the Nile, in Egypt. It is
afindo tl y fh ther f f °! e ’ thatthe Scriptures
#? to this plant a 8 the meat upon
which the Baptist fed. That locusts
were eaten in various ages and : by vd-'
nous people of the world, has been well
and therefore; that John
P^ Bfc - sh6tlld miade'themhis
chief food, is not at all remarkable. It
' ti- to, feed on
catching them and preserving
them tor future use. Pliny remarks that
even the wealthy Parthians made their
rood of grass-hoppers, or locusts—as they
S® A mo ®t commonly called—and
the -Arabs who inhabit the desert
of : Sahara often welcome the ap
praach of the locusts—as a perfect
God-send, and as a means of saving them
from famishing with hunger; notwith
standing their presence is such a terror
to the inhabitants the more fertile
parts of the country. Indeed locusts are
regarded as a. great delicacy among na
tions who are abundantly supplied with
other kmds of food, especially among
the Moors, Arabs and Jews of Barbary,
and when the locusts abound in Central
Africa, the natives become quite fat in
feeding on them. Boasted locusts is a
common dish among the A&yrian Arabs
offlthe present day, and we need not go
beyond the Continent of North America
to find abundant examples of locust
eatmg. A very esteemed, intelligent
pnd, long-standing friend of ours, who
spent several years in California, informs
me that several tribes of Indians in
that country feed almost exclusively on
a large species of locust, of grasshopper,
during that portion of the year when
they are in season, and esteem them a
great delicacy. They scald them in salt
water, and after divesting them of their
legs, wings, and antennse, they pound
them into a paste in a mortar, and after
wards bake them in cakes, which he has
often tasted,’ and were it not for the pre
judices due to our civilization, they
would be deemed excellent, and of an
agreeable flavor. Were we indeed to
quote_only a tithe of the testimony to
which we have access, that locust eating
is a common custom now, and has long
been so among many nations of the
earth, we could form a book upon that
subject, of very respectable magnitude;
.out tins is not at all necessary.
T for granted therefore that-
John the Baptist preached and fed upon
locusts and wild honey in. the wilder
ness of Judea, what does it all amount
to? mid how muchare we really wiser in
the knowing of it? if there is not a spirit
that underlies the literal history, which
is applicable to .the moral experience, and
spiritual proaress of the human family
in ah piaces and all ages of the world.
John emission, and the mission oiHim
whom he foreshadowed,and the corre
spondential representative of whose word
he was, were both short; but in that short
period was accomplished the most sub
lime work ever witnessed in theinfinity
of worlds—nothing less in fact than mi
king possible the salvation of a fallen hu
manity, that otherwise must have been
irrecoverably lost. How often in the
daily experiences of mankind is a John
the Baptist beheaded, and a Christ cru
mfied! yet the eternal principles of truth
which they embodied and reflected are
9till living as freshly,and are as binding
upon the consciences of men as they
were in the days when the “generation
of vipers” were warned to “flee from the
wrath to come.” To show how far the
word of God transcends any other word
truth, or doctrine in the world, it is said
that among them that are born of wo
men, there has not risen a greater than
John the Baptist, notwithstanding he
that is leastin the Kingdom of Heaven is
greater than he.” In other Swords,
that the internal or heavenly quality of
God s word, superior to its ex
ternal quality and meaning, such as
John the Baptist' taught it; and such as
the literal teaching of that word is at
the present day, among so many who
assume to “prepare the way of the Lord
and make his path straight.” The
truths John taught were of the most
common and general character, and
yielded a pleasing delight to those to
whom they came with acceptance; and
hence, it is said that. u his meat ivas
locusts and wild honey"— locdsts, in sub
ordination to use, and not in abuse, as
with Pharaoh in Egypt, where’ they have

i ®° 9t or Bnildlng in' New Torh. '
• , Commercial and Financial Chron
icle of New York city has the following
interesting article on the cost of build
ing: • • ■
. ‘Until about the middlebf 1863 build-
sympathized but little
with the general advance of prices: for
the reason that large stocks were on
connection, with a dull-?
negs in the trade and moderate wages.;
enabled new buildings to,be erected at a
nominal advance upon old prices. From
that time up to the spring of 1865 the
advance , was by no means proportionate
with that of produce and manufactures.
At! that period, however, the demand
[ became so pressing, and the stocks of
timber and lumber so largely reduced
while wages were also doubled, as com
pared with former rates, that the prices
of materials at once rose to about one
hundred per cent, over those current
at the commencement of the war. This
advance was / followed by a reaction of
about ten percent.; which has sihce been
succeeded by another upward move
ment; so that to-day the cost of building
averages more than at any previous
period. Below we give an interesting
table showing the prices of the various
building materials in September for five
y6&rst

As a natural result these high prices
have led to the use of inferior workman
sbip.iii the ereetion of A. lower
class of timber, imperfectly seasoned
lumber,and inferior materials of masonry
and furnishing have been in greater de
mand. The scarcity of labor has alao
necessitated a freer employment of infe
rior workmen, and at the full rate of
wages. Asa consequence a large propor
tion of the buildings now being erected
are of a elass less adapted for durability
than formerly. In fact the exhaustion of
the supply of well seasoned lumber
| has caused an advance in that kind
of material out of proportion to that of
other descriptions; and, considering
that lnmber, to be well seasoned,
has to be kept five to seven years, it is
apparent that a considerable time must
elapse before the market can be ade
quately supplied. This probability is
all the greater from the circumstance i
that dealers will be reluctant to buy, at '
present prices, stocks to be held for years
in the face of a sweeping decline in val
ues during the interim. For this rea
son it would seem reasonable to antici
pate that, for a somewhat protracted pe
riod, building is likely to run largely
upon second-class erections. This is one
of the thousand disadvantages flowing
from the derangements consequent upon
the war, unnoted by the common ob
server, but which really tell very mate
rially upon the comfort and welfare of
.tne community.
V.T°, th ® very common inquiry—What
is likely to be the future course of values
connected with building? the obvious
answer would seem to be that the cost
must be controlled in great part by the
same considerations which determine
the value of products generally. The
question is, perhaps, chiefly one of
wages.- The cost of a building depends
not merely upon the rate paid for the
laboremployed in working and putting
together the several materials, but stifl
more upon the wages paid for the pro
auction and transportation of those ma
terials. In fact, it may be said that
the principal cost of a building
resolves itself into wages and interest
upon the capital employed in its pro
duction. It can scarcely be argued that
the great scarcity of dwellings, by ne
cessitatmg a demand for more houses,
will tend to keep up the cost after com
modities have begun to decline: for there
is the same Comparative scarcity in pro-
K," ? 1^ gener ?! ly il as exiate in relation to
buildings. If, then, there is reason for
anticipating a decline in wages, there is
ground for expecting a fall in the value
of house property. That the price of
labor must be reduced there will be no
question; but there would seem to be
httie reason for expecting that the de
ehne wfll be immediate, or that it will i
b f ° tbe^[? e and protracted.
~: -• could wish it were possible
to present a more satisfactory prospect
as to the future cost of building, for the
current high rents have a direct ten
dency; to support the prevailing high
wages, and the heavy eost of erecting
buildings of industrial purposes neces
sarily checks investment in new manu
facturing enterprises. The marvelous
recuperative power of the country may
however, be relied upon to work out an
earlier relief from the restrictions upon
budding operations than would oceur
under similar circumstances, in any
other country.” 1 y
