Honeymoon EniOympntS.

4 correspondent Of the Boston ,joT.
nal, writing from Saratoga, SAYS:
Saratoga seems to be the Paradise of
young brides and hridegrooms this sea-
son. Congress Hall has been fairly run
down by the new arrivals, and the par
lors have been monopolized by the
turtle doves, who have attracted great
interest by their billing and cooling.
Eight couples have been quartered in
the house, and the interest they created
never tired. The elevator is very at
tractivc and Frenchy affair. It's more
elegant than the Empress harouche. 1t
is favorite resort of bridal parties, and
their coming and going up and down
are watched with great interest by the
State visitors at the springs Mr.
Hathorn has happy faculty Of enter
tanning these gay visitors, and more are
on the way.
To accommodate the increasing
travel bridal car has been placed on
the Saratoga road, and connects with
Troy and New York 1t is one of the
most superb things ever built 1t has a
saloon, staterooms and private rooms.
The windows are very large, are of
plate glass, and are guarded by screens
to keep out the dust. 1t is curtained,
mirrored, painted and gilded in the
highest style of art. Ice cream, cake,
and the fruits Of the season are served
upon tables provided for the purpose
The whole is in charge of Mr.. Waters,
one Of the most popular conductors on
the route. The Saratoga road is now
under the control of the Vanderbilts.
They propose to lay double track
with steel rails, to this place.

Keeping Cool.

The intensely hot weather OF summer
is on MS, and persons working out of
door- are liable to sunstroke. and if
that is not always imminent, other all
ments are that an intense heating of
the blood and brain makes more or less
sure
II the head is kept cool, the man is
generally safe; and al experience in
the bayfield, that reaches over nearly a
dozen summers, before mowing-ma-
chimes were in general use, leads us to
say that bunch Of green grass worn in
the hat, moistening il occasionally when
it gets hot and somewhat dry, is one of
the best preventives to sunstroke or diz-
illness, as well as most agreeable ar
rangement for promoting comfort while
al work. 4 wet cloth is perhaps as
good, but the wisp OF moist grass is
always at hand, and if Appropriated as
suggested. will work wonders

CRICKETs ON THE EARTH.
The Cricket Invasion OF Nevada
whence they Come and whittier
Bound.

from the Territorial Enterprise, Virginia
~ City, Nevada, June D.
Thd State has t.en invaded by
crickets. Vast armies of them have
entered the eastern portion Of the State.
A week ago the advanced guard of the
devastating horde poured down upon
Elko, and as they swept past with their
silent tramp, the people stood appalled,
at their numbefs. The Elko Independent
does not trace their course eastward, but
they evidently comefrom Utah, the home
of the cricket, grasshopper and polyga-
nous Mormons, and are endeavorlng to
cut or eat their way through to the
green valleys of the Truckee. They
are destructive on vegetation, and their
advance should be stopped by some
means. As the malarious marshes OF
the Ganges seem to be the home OF the
cholera, so does Utah seem to be the
birthplace of the cricket and grass
hopper plaques of the Great Basin.
For the past eight or ten years, If not
longer, that territory has been sorely al
flicted with grasshoppers, and 1t has
sometimes seemed that the Saints would
be compelled to yield their fields
and pastures to these innumer-
able and remorseless destroy
ers. The cricket pest, how
ever, has been less severe, and from
the habits Of this insect, we do not ap.
prehend that the present invasion will
prove very destructive. They some
times appear, in prodigious Numbers,
bnt they travel slewly, and their ad-
vance is easily stopped. In 1850, for a
distance of twenty or twenty-five miles,
in Utah the whole face Of the country
was so densely covered with crickets--
large, fat, clumsy, wingless fe!-
lows-that the wheels Of the
emigrants wagon became al
most clogged with the crushed carcasse-
Of these insects. AS their course could
easily be traced, it was manifest that
they had not travelled far, and winter
probably overlook them before they
swept over very wide scope OF the
country. They advance steadily, how
ever, and multiply hundred and fifty
fold each year. Hence crickets, now
that they have entered the State, may
he expected for some years to come,

The funding bill was modified 80 as

latter under the control Of the currency

after all, is merely discretionary with
the Secretary OF the Treasury, now
simply proposes to fund the debt into
three classes Of bonds; two hundred
millions at FIVE per cent. for ten years,
three hundred millions at four and a
half per cent. for fifteen years, and one

copies OF the correspondence relative to
the questions pending between the
United States and Great Britain. Mr..

negotiations relative to the Alabama
claims were resumed, they would be re-
opened at Washington. 1t further ap-

1t is not absolutely certain that the
Democrats will carry every district in
the State, but, with the exception Of
Maynard's district, where the chances
are about equal, it is highly probable
that they will. The Republicans have
no possible chance except in the three
East Tennessee districts, and not much
in them. These districts are the First,
Second and Third, now represented by
Butler, Maynard and Stokes. Stokes
will, in all probability, be the Republi-
can candidate in the Third District,
and, to illustrate his brilliant chance OF
success, it is only necessary to refer to
the fact that at the Gubernatorial con-
test last year Senter beat him, in the
thirteen counties composing this district,
over eight thousand votes.

RUNN1NG A NEWSPAPER.

One of our exchanges is excited over
being asked to do gratuitous pufery
and relieves itself in this vigorous fash
ion:
"Some men who have paid two dol
lars at an early period in life for an ad-
vertisement worth four or FIVE appear to
think they are stockholders in the estab-
lishment for eternity. They demand the
publication of all marriage and funeral
notices, obituaries and family episodes
for the next forty years gratis. Speak
of pay and they grow indignant. Don't
I patronize your paper? Yes, but you
received the worth of your money for
what you paid. But, says the patron,
it will not cost you anything to put this
in, which is just as ridiculous as to ask
a man to grind your ak on his grind
stone, and graciously tell him that it
won't cost him a cent. 1t takes money
to run newspaper as well as any other
business, and no paper will succeed fl
nancially that carries a dead-head sys-
TEN. Any mention Of the peoples affairs
that they are anxious to see in print is
worth paying for, and when printed is
generally as profitable as any other inves-
tment of the same amount.
The newspaper business IS very ex-
acting on all connected with it and the
pay is comparatively small; the propri-
etors risk more money for small profits,
and the editors and proprietors and
printers work harder and cheaper than
the same number Of men in any other
profession requiring the given amount
ofintelligence, training and drudgery.
The life has its charms and its pleas
ant associations, scarcely known to the
outside world; but it has its earnest work
and anxieties and hours Of exhaustion,
which likewise are not known to those
who think the business all fun. The
idea that newspaperdom is the charmed
circle where the favored members live a
life of ease and are free from care, and go
to the circus at night on free ticket
and to the springs on a free pass in the
summer, is an idea which we dare to
explode practically and theoretically.
Business is business, and the journal
that succeeds is one that is run on a
square business footing, the same as
banking or building bridges, keeping a
hotel or running a livery stable"
