the South Western and Central railroads are
damaged by the washing away of bridges and

Tears

With regard now to other tears-thOse
I mean which proceed from moral in
stead OF physical causes-the explana-
ton to be given of them is q prosy and
material one. Tears are caused both by
the sudden and rapid flow of blood to
the head, and by excessive nervous e1-
element. They are most frequent with
women and children, whose nervous or
ganization is less strong than that of
men, Amongst men, it is those of
sanguine ornervOus temperaments who
weep most oftens
Iymphatic natures, on the contrary,
and people Of bilious temperament,
rarely weep at all the former because
they have commonly but little sensibil-
ity, and the latter because they unsually
have hrm control over their feelings.
Whens therefore, man of lymphatic or
bilious temperament is seen to shed
tears under emotion, one may feel sure
that the innermost nerves Of his heart
have been Wrungy and one must bow
whose pangE must be intense.
Conversely, tits prudent to keep ones
coOlness before strongly excitable or
highly Imaginative people who weep ;
their tears are often genuine, but, as a
rule, they cost them but little effort, and
in nine cases out Of ten, are forgotten
as soon as shed. Actors of great talent
cali up tears at viii, by working them
selves into wild state of excitement.
A1ademoiselle Rachel, for Instance, than
whom no colder, more unloving VO-
man ever trod the stage, used, when
she put forth all her efforts, to weep so
passionately that she would set fifteen
hundred spectators crying with her.

A slander Refuted

A common slander regarding Gen.
Grant, which his enemies are now
busy circulating, consists in the pub
lication of military order rejecting
on the character and directing the ex-
pulsion Of all Jews from the Depart
ment of the Tennessee. OF course ev-.
cry general officer is responsible for
the orders issued in his name By his
adiutaat general, although, perhaps,
nine times out of ten, he never sees
them, and often never knows Of them.
When, however, a wrong motive is al
legged against any order, the question
of intent and knowledge becomes leg
itimate and geFmain to the investiga-
ton Of the charge A military cores
pondent of the New York Post, who
writes evidently from information had
on this ground, disposes very effect
uaHy of the sluT on cur candidate, stat
ing that it was we'll known in the
Western army at the time the order
was issued that Gen. Grant was utter
ly ignorant of the making of it, and
was then absent from his headquarters.
The officer who issued the order was
reprimanded, and the order itself was
revoked as soon as Gen. Grant return
ed to his headquarters. So the SLAM
ders explode as fast as they are dis
charged against the peoples candidate

Locust Year.

For some weeks the locusts have been
been growing in numbers inIllinois and
Missouri and IN the heavily timbeFed
regions becoming almost as numerous
as in 1855. A correspondent of the
Journal of Agriculture, writing from
Williamsburg, Missouri, says
This, I suppose. is locust year asaTn
-at least We have them quite nuueF-
0usly They began to make their exit
from the ground here about the 23d Of
May, and we have their peculiar noise,
which is very similar to that made By
the early spring frogs, when heard at
some distance, from rosy morn to dewy
eve. The males only are capable of
making this nosy note and on fair
days they began 1t so soon as they be-
gin to feel the warmth on the sun
feebly at,,frst, here and there an insect
tlHiRg his notes but as the day ad-
vanees, and the heat increases, others
join in till, when the highest heat Of
the day is attained, every male Joins
with might and nam and makes such
a din as to drown all other sounds in
the woods. When the weather is
cloudy and little cool they are very
| quiet. [ believe the locust is a harm
| less insect outside of the mischief they
4 do to fruit and forest trees in deposit
ing their eggs, which they do by split
/ ting the small branches with their owl
positors, and depositing -compactly
( double rows of eggs. The injury thus
done, the trees do not outgrOW for
years. / find the locust has many enc
mics all domestic fowls are very fond
of them, and hogs, and and even cats
and dogs partake of them freely.
/ Why are they called seventeen year
locUsts ? I believe this is a misnomer,
1 and for this reason We have had four
locust years proper, Including the pres
ent, in forty years. to-wit: in 1928, 49,
q, 1855, and 1865. So you camper
eieve that we don't have them here,
periodically, even every fourteen years.
l think we have a few every year, con-
siderably many every seventh year, and
numerOusiy every thirteenth or four
teenth year. Some are predicting that
we will have them again next year more
plentifully than we have them this, be
lieving that every fourteenth year is
I the one proper for their appearance;
there were none, however the follow
ing year after 1855 and it was thir-
teenth year. In 1855 the locusts made
their first appearance about the Mid
die of May aud disappeared In about
six weeks.

Grant as a HumOrist.

Flags OF truce were occasionally sent
back and forth between Cairo and Col
umbus, and the opposing Generals who
were in command of those posts were
sometimes present. On enc occasion
General Polk proposed q toast, which
he said all could drink. Those present
filed their glasses, and he gave t'Io

purposely at the end OF the name, the
company. commenced to drink, when
he added, ''the first rebel" General
Grant exclaimed, i'-That was scarcely
fair General, but will be even with
YOU some day" The laugh was OF
course against him, but the company
parted in good humor.
Some two weeks afterWard another
nag Of truce was sent down to Colum-
bus, General Grant accompanying it.
After business was over General Grant
adE0itlY turned the conversation upon
State rights. He allowed them to pro-
eeed at considerable length without
attempting to refute anything. a
length he arose to so, and proposed 8
toast at parting. Glasses were filed
and the General arose and gave, Equal
rights to all" He then paused, as Gen
era1 Polk had done, and when all were
busily drinking, he added, siwhite and
