DECORATING THE GRAvEs.-On Saturday
next, according to general orders from the
Commander-in-Ch Chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, Gen. John A. Logan, the
graves of the soldiers who fell in the late
war are to be strewed and decorated with
flowers. This custom has been observed
in the Southerh States annually since the
close of the war, and the day there is gen.
orally observed. Why three years have
been permitted to pass by without remem-
bering the dead soldiers here, it is difficult
to say, unless it is now gotten up for politi-
cal effect Churches, Preachers, Sunday
Schools, &C., are invited. Is it intended to
get up big display and to operate again
upon the feelings of those present. with
the view of making political capital and
promoting the election of Gen. Grant? 1t
looks good deal like it. The Grand Army
of the Republic has the name of being a
sort of a political organization. In order that
the decoration of graves may be we'll and
properly done, would it not be justice for a
SQUAD of the G.. A. r. to decorate the
graves of the relatives and friends of Gen.
Logan who were induced to join the
Southern army by him, and who fell fight
| ing for the Lost Cause? We do not know
what arrangements, if any, have been
made by the G. A. RS here to carry out
the terms of the order.

ADVENT OF LoCUsTs. - The Locusts,
which have been spoken of as appearing in
several counties of this State, are called sew
en-, fourteen, and seventeen year Locusts,
and it is hard to tell which designation is
right. The name implies the number of
years which elapse between one appear
ance and another.
In Asia and Africa they have an insect
resembling the American grasshopper,
which they call a Locust. These insects
often swarm over tracts of territory of great
length, and devour every green thing in
their path. We sometimes read OF these
grasshoppers travelling over counties in
Texas in multitudes that no man can num-
ber, and eating everything in the way of
vegetation. But the Locust we are now
speaking of is another insect altogether
1t is of the genus Cicada, has long black
oval body, can fly three or four hundred
yards, comes from the ground, makes a
loud harsh noise, eats nothing, and lives
about twenty-seven days. They are alto
gether harmless in our day and generation.
They bore small round holes into the heart
of limbs of trees, and there deposit their
eggs. Soon after laying their eggs they
fall to the ground and die. 1t is not known
by what process of nature these eggs are
transferred from the place of original de-
posit into the earth, but it is certain that
the species are propagated in this way. and
the Locust first appears from the ground

TEsr Your KERosENE.-In view of
the many lamp explosions resulting al
most invariably from the use of bad kerr

before using it. This may be readily
done by any man, woman or child, by
means Of thermometer, little warm
water, and tablespoonful of OIL Fill
the cup with warm water, the tempera-
ture of which is to be brought to 100
degrees, Fab. Pour the oil on the wa
ter; apply flame to the floating oil by
match or otherwise. If the oil is unsafe
it will take fire, and its use in the lamp
is dangerous, for it is liable to explode.
