The Louisville Courier says

Mr.. @. H. DELPHI. from Mississippi, has
shown US the wing Of a locust that has made
its appearance in numbers in Rankin and
adjacent counties. The wing is different
in hue and tint from any we have before
observed. On the top is plainly to be seen
the letter w. This is observable upon The
left wing of every locust that has appeared
this year. This fact is creating considsra-
bic excitement in the locust region, many
persons believing that the letter w betokens
war. Seven years ago the same rsgion was
Overrun by lOcusts bearing upon their wings
the cabaIistio letters P-W. The whole
face of the earth in portions of Mississippi
is covered with loousts. They are IS thick
as the leaves, and make the woods vocal
with their incessant minstrelsy.

In spite of the fruit which the birds de-
stroy, it is now conceded that the "fealher-
ed songsters" save more to the farmer, gard
ner and fruit-grOwer, by diminishing the
insects, than they they themselves con-
sumo. Spare the birds,-they are very
fond of sweet cherries and apples. but the
insects are universal in their Tsysges. AO-
oordiug to an sntomologist. nest Of young
robins will consume &c, 900 worms in three
months. Had these worms lived, their
progeny in four years would number 20,-
OOO, 200, 900. An hundred ehinch bugs
have been found in the crop Of single
quail and il is calculated that one of those
birds consumes over 100, 900 in s season.

are being quoted against him, and have al

such directaand undisguised bargain and
sale Of votes in convention as is going on
here tonight in the interest Of Governor
FentOu. AS much as Eve hundred dollars
is openly offered for influential votes in the
Southern delegations. FentOn has already
bought up Louisiana, and is bidding for
Virginia, Alabama. South Carolina and
Georgia. The Louisiana delegation cost IF
teen hundred dollars. In reply to a charge
of corrupt use Of-mOney, one Of FentOn's
friends said tonight that the Southern del
egates were poor men, and the money was
given to them, not to pay for their votes,
but to reimburse them for their travelling
expenses. The fight seems to be between
FentOn's money and Wade's promises Of

The Immensitv Of the Universe.

As q proof what an immense book
heaven is, and also cf the indsfatigabili}y
of the student, man, in turning over its
leaves. DR.. Niehol, in his work describing
the magnitude of Lord ROsss's telescope,
says that Lord Rosse has looked into space
a distance so tremendous, 90 inconceivable,
that light which travels at the rate Of 1885,
600 miles in one second, would require
period of ESQ, 900, 900 of solar years, each
year containing about 32,oo0,OoO of Sec
Onds, to pass the intervening gulf between
this earth and the remotest point to which
this telescope has reached ! How utterly
unable is the mind to grasp even fraction
Of this period to conceive the passing
events of a hundred thousand years only. is
an impOssibility, to say nothing of millions
and hundreds of millions of years.
The sun is niuety-fVe millions of miles
distant from the earth. yet a ray of light
will traverse that distance in 48o seconds /;
long as the distance may seem to be pass
ed in so short time, what comparison can
the mind frame between it and the great
distance, which Drs. Nichol and Rosse de-
mOnstrate, would require every second of
time TO represent more than SOC, 900 years
And recOllect the study of astronomy is
not OOly useful to excite emotions Ofgrand-
eur and sublimity at such discoveries, but
is the basis of navigation, and our note of
time, and unites the strictness Of mathe-
matioal reasoning with the most certain
calculations.

THE CHICAGO CROWD.
Slim Attendanee- Bribery-W hisky
Drinking,

The following kilograms to radical jour
pals don't speak very wen as to the char
acter Of the Republican Convention at Chi
HcagO. A dispatch to the Cincinnati Com
merOial says:
1t is unquestiOnably true that the num-
Der of persons in attendance at the ConVen-
ton is smaller than is usual for such occa-
siOns. The delegations are all full except
from the Southern States, but the crowd OF
outsiders is comparatively small. The
mass meeting last night vas failure, both
as to numbers and enthusiasm. The state
of affairs is easily accounted for By the fact
of Grants nomination having been for so
long foFsgone conclusion. The Office OF
Vice President, which is the only matter iE
dispute heres is one that never occasions
much contest or enthusiasm and never in
teTests that large mass Of people who con-
stitute what is called the outside pressure.
Hence the difference between the Chicago
Convention of 1860 and the Chicago Con-
vention of 1868.
THE CHARACTER OF THE CROWD.

who has been In prison in the county jail, White
PlatnA since August, 1865, for the murder of Ellen
Hicks on the second day Of the same and whose
appeal has recently been dismissed by the court at
Albany, was removed to Poughkeepsie early yes

SHOOTING CAsE.-Late on Saturday evening q
quarrel arose in saloon kept by one sobieski, on
the Boston road Morrisania near Second street, be-
tween four young men named Hassett, Howell and
two brothers, Niles and Chauncey Sherwood and
other men who were in the place. Words being
succeeded by blows oficer Pabst was called In, and
the row appears to have then increased instead OF
being queed. Clubbing 10 Is said was hrst resorted
TO- and then II Is alleged that Pabst drew his revolver
and shot Hassett in the leg, but he managed 70
escape. The other men were arrested and brougnl
before Justice Hauptman, who will investigate the
case to-day. The special c0nstabes OF Morrisania
are SO unequal TO the duties imposed on them, con-
siderng the size or the place and the regular Sunday
immigration OF New York roughs that the district
ought TO be placed under the superintendent OF the
Metropolitan Police, as Ia the case at fremont, vii
iage much further up tile country.
