A Sporting Opinion.

George Wilkes, the editor of the Spirit
of the Times, a trenchant writer, whose
voice is very apt to be heard in every
political crisis, has come outin a very
able article, giving his opinion OF the
chance OF Grants election. Mr.. Wilkes
we'll known GOODNESS and shrewdness
give his opinion great weight, but his
habit OF backing his opinion with his
money, in any desired amount, gives it
still greater weight: The public feels
that he does not speak as a partisan,
but as u betting man. Mr.. Wilkes de-
cidedly thinks that Grant will be elect
ed. and offers to bet heavily upon that
issue. He complains that the sup.
porters of Seymour and Blair will not
bet. They talk, but their money don't.
In answer to numerous cores
pondents who wish to know the theory
upon which Mr.. Wilkes bases his con.
fidence in Grants election, Mr.. Wilkes
gives in substance the following: There
are probably million of men in this
country to whom politics is profess
sion-an occupation. These men are,
for the most part, entirely mercenary.
They worship success. AT the present
time they are balancing the chances OF
the rival candidates, preparatory to
making rush for the one they suppose
will win. These men, thanks to our
want of civil service system, will de.
eide the election. Not patriotism, not
even partisanship, will decide the issue
between Grant and Seymour, but the
instincts of employment and profit, OF
this mercenary class. a humiliating
fact, but still fact.
Now, to which candidate are these
American "courtiers" likely to incline?
We will let Mr.. Wilkes answer this
question himself.
Taking the problem at this point,
we find the public almost universally
| believing that General Grant will be
elected over Seymour; and though the
politicians of the Seymour "ring" will
protest, till they are black in the face
tEat they entertain contrary opinion
they will accept no bets against Grant
even at the rate of two to one. This
may be said to be no argument; never
theIess, it IS a very significant sign i'll g
party which is very fond of bettingi
and it warrants us in the expectation
that when the progress of the canvass
confirms this want of confidence in the
prospects of the conservative candi-
dates, the mercenary army which IL
now swarming under the shadow o
their banners In the hunt for spoil, will
abandon the copper camps and turf
their faces to the rising sun. Governed
by no principle, sustained by no seuti
ment, and actuated simply by thirs
for gain, these men will not be willing
to be put beyond reach of the snui
little nookS in the Custom House anc
Post Office Tor four long years, but viii
Join the conquering army under Grant
Other and better influences will, o
course, animate other and better mer
to swell the ranks of the only mar

MARCH oE THE LoCTsTs.-If locusts
presented themselves by hundreds of
thousands or even by millions, people
might contrive to deal with them by
frying, grilling, pounding and baking
by pnilfuls in ovens; but usually, when
they visit any region, it is in swarms
and clouds which darken the whole at
mosphere for miles; and when they
reach green place they descend upon
it with noise like that of high wind,
or the beating of innumerable drums
in the distance. They conduct them
selves, however, not like disOrderly
rabble, but like q well ordered army,
with Ghengis, Timour, or Napo-
leon al his head, marching forward in
squadrons and columns, without turn
ing to the right hand or to the left,
facing everything, guawing everything
to pieces with their saw.like teeth.
They eat up everything green-the
and bark from the trees, the blossoms
and fruit trOmihe gardens, the thatch
from the houses. yolney, in imitation
of the Hebrew prophet, observes that
the plains before them looked like a
verdant carpet but when they passed
over it, eating, Burning, and poisoning
everything with their saliva, it exhib-
tied the appearance of n volcanic re-
gion covered with lava, scoriae and
ashes. Syria and the countries north
of Mount Atlas are often desolated by
the locust. Sometimes a few light
skirmishers preceding the main
host, cause the hearts of the
inhabitants to thrill with terror, for
they know what they have to expect
They arrive, drifting with the wind
from the south or southeast. At first
gentle murmur is heard high in the
air, then loud buzzing; then low,
continuous roar like that of distant
thunder; then, show their fronts to the
sky, alighting in countless millions as
they advance. The terror of the popu-
lation then makes itself evident; they
climb trees, and boot and shout, to
scare away the needless and invincible
intruders; they kindle enormous fires
on the mountain Tops, which difuse
their smoke in dark volumesi they cut
broad trenches across the plains, and
flood them with waterfall in vain; the
locusts, by their multitudes, extinguish
the fires; I'LL up thetrenches with their
| bodies, and march over them; climb
| up the trees after the natives, whom
they speedily bring to the ground
pour Into the towns and villages, in
wade the houses through doors and
windows, crawl into the beds, cover the
walls like tapestry, eating verything
they can find, tumbling into the sugar
| basins, plunging into the milk jugs and
teacups, making free with the skirts OF
the gentlemen's coats, filling their
pockets, creeping up their sleeves and
down their necks, covering the skirts OF
the ladies, dresses inside and out,
spreading themselves over cradles, and
what is worse, gnawing the flesh from
the cheeks of sleeping infants.

Thnt n1oundsvlIIe Camp Meeting.

Editors IHteItigeIcer
Brother Arthur takes it for granted
that because Rev. John s. Inskip and
wife, DIR. and Mrs. Palmer, Rev. John
Thompson, Rev. Benz. Pomeroy, and
others, will be present at the meeting"
that 1--WE shall have such a camp meet
ing as has never been held in this region
of country" That these are all persons
of eminent piety, we have no DOUBT
and that their preaching, eXhortations
and prayers will contribute no small
amount to the interest of the occasion,
is equally clear, but that their presence
alone will insure "sUch camp meet
ing as has never been in this region OF
country" is not SO clear. But while
some men glory in men, and trust in
men, and others trust in horses and
chariots, we should trust in the Lord
Jehovah, F." for in the Lord Jehovah ts
everlasting strength" He is greater
than Jonah, Solomon, 1nskip, Palmer,
or any one else, and His presence and
power is:greatly to be preferred, If we
would have a soul reviving feast. How
weak is poor human nature! In
stead of stimulating the people to
attend this feast of tabernacles by
saving that certain distinguished
persons will be present, how much
better it would be for a minister
of Christ to stimulate the people
to come out by saying 10 them. "lhe
Lord of Hosts will be with us in an
swer to prayer" The work to be &C
complished will require more than
mortal energy, and Except the Lord
build the house they labor in vain that
build it; except the Lord keep the city
the watchman waketh but in VAIN
Let Mr., A, and those DESTROYS OF haV'
ing "such a camp meeting as has never
been in this region of country" ask
largely OF" Him who is able to do ex-
ceeding abundantly above all that we
ask or think, according to the power
that worketh in us; and then If these
distinguished persons are not present
and If the humble ministers of Wheel
ing and Brother Arthur should be
compelled to do the preaching and al
tar work, great good will, nevertheless,
be accomplished. A METHODIST.

Haunted House in England.

An English journal, PutnGm'S Week
Ly Ne,CS. has the following:
The haunted house at Muchelney is
one of those extraordinary cases which
puzzel the scientific, furnish food to the
saperstitious, and excite the sneers OF
the supercilious and would-be know
ing. The farmhouse, an old substantial
one, stands alone at the entrance to the
village MucheIney, about three miles
from Langport. Its only occupants are
Mr.. Traves, his housekeeper, and a
young servant girl. Soon after Christ
mas u slight shock of earthquake, as
supposed, was felt in the neighborhood,
and since then the farmhouse has been
the scene. from time to time, of the
noises and manifestations" before de-
scribed in these columns. The most
common form is a noise resembling at
first the running of fingers over a
hollow partition, or as If passing rap
idly up stairs, and always ending alb.
ruptly with kind of discharge AS loud
as that of rifle, but with no reverbe-
ration wlIatever-merely dead thud-
often followed successfully, kept up
at intervals for days together, and then
becoming silent for weeks. For some
time the tin cover OF copper Kettle IN
the kitchen was wont to be thrown vto'
Iently upon the floor, and the bells
about the house to be set ringing. But
these are at present quiet; and the new
est manifestation is in one of the pasSa'
ges, where clock stands with table
near against the wall. and over it some
bride bits hung upon nails, About a
fortnight since, during Mr.. Traves' alb
sence in the bayfield,, the housekeepeI
and servants were terribly alarmed by
the table being turned suddenly upside
down and the bits thrown of the nails
on which they were hung. The females
Immediately summoned Mr.. Travesl
who came in, and, expressing his de
termination to Judge for himself, took g
seat near the table and watched. He
had not been seated i've minutes ere the
table was again suddenly dragged, as ii
were, along the floor, and dashed down.
We plainly saw the breakage which re-
suited, and heard the story from Mr..
Travels own mouth. 1t was only one
of several stories ofan equally startling
nature. The mysterious part is that
the walls are entirely mistaken and the
floors updisturbed,
