THEIR INVASION OF NEvADA-wHENCE THE
COME AND WHITTIER BOUND.
The Territorial Enterprise, of Virginia
City, Nevada, on June 29thi said:-The State
has been 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
numbers. The Elko independent does not
trace their course eastward, but they evil
IDENTIFY come from Utah, the home of the
cricket, grasshopper, and polygamous Mormon,
and are. endeavoring 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 appear to be the birthplace of
the cricket and grasshopper plaques of the
Great Basin. For the past eight or ten years,
if not longer, that territory had been sorely
afflicted with orasshoppers, and it has some-
times seemed that the Saints would be COM
PEELED to yield their fields and pastures to
these innumerable and remsrseless destroy
ers. The cricket pest, however, has been
less severe, and from the habits of this in
sect, we do not apprehend that the present
invasion will prove very destructive. They
sometimes appear in prodigious numbers,
but they travel slowly, and their advance 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 COW
cred with crickets-large, fat, clumsy, wingless
fellows-that the wheels of the emigrant's
wagon became almost clogged with the
crushed carcasses of these insects. Is their
course could easily be traced, it was manifest
that they had not travelled far, and winter
probably overlook them before they swept
over a very wide scope Of the country. They
advance steadily, however, and multiply a
hundred and fifty fold each year. Hence,
crickets, now that they have entered the
State, may be expected for some years to
come.

The Supposed Sensation Of PIe-existence

The Supposed Sensation Of PIe-cxistence.
From the v. y. Nation.
A writer in the London Practttion6r has
something very interesting to say in regard to
q curious sensation which most of our readers
have felt, and which if they believe what is
said by the writer, they will not be pleased to
feel again. The sensation in question is thus
described by Coleridge:-
soft DER my brain does that strange fancy
Which makes the present (while the flush
doth last)
Seem @ mere semblance of SOM unknown
past,
Mixed with such feelings as perplex the soul
Self-questioned in her sleep; and some have
said
We lived ere yet this yoke of flesh we wore. "
Tennyson, also, among a great many other
poets, ancient and modem, refers to it,
Moreover, something is or seems
That touches me with mystic CLEANS
Like glimpses of forgotten dreams
"Of something felt like something here;
OF something done | know not where;
Such as nc language may declare"
And Dickens, in David Copperfield, regards
the sensation as one common to all men,
'We have all some experience of q feeling
which comes over us occasionally of what
we are saying and doing having been said or
done before, in a remote time-of our having
been surrounded dim ages ago by the same
faces, objects, and circumstances-of our
knowing perfectly well what will be said
next, as if we suddenly remembered it,"
This description is either fuller than that
of the two poets, or else it is @ description of
q considerably stronger sensation than that
which they had experienced. The Prdcti-
toners correspondent says that he had been
from boyhood familiar with the feeling, but
that it never came so frequently nor with
such intensity as a year or SO ago, Just pre-
viously to a fit of epilepsy, which disease
then, for the first time, attacked him. He has
since had but few occurrences of the feeling,
but on two of the few occasions it was followed
within twenty-four hours by an e~pileptic
seizure. There seems to the writer, then, apart
from all the pretty things that philosophers
and poets have made ont of this experience,
that it has for it's chief interest a therapeutic
interest. The sensation of pre-existence, oil
whatever it may be called, ought, he thinks,
"to be regarded as showing disturbance oil
brain Junction. and he doubts if its recogni
ton and removal might not prevent much
more important disorders. He suggests, too,
that Enquiry in cases of epilepsy may detect
something of this sort put aside as not being
of sufficient consequence to speak of, and YET
in truth being a m~imimizsd form of petit NAL
warming to precautions against a larger
seizure The chief precaution he would
take is cessation from work done. 1t would
be curious to know if Mr.. Dickens, by whom
this sensation seems to have been felt sc
often and so wildly, and who died, it is said
of o%verwork, had experience OF it in the lat
ter days of his life. o

back. II you are a young man you at first
feel embarrassed, but her perfect suavity of
manne soon sets you at ease. Clapping her
hands, q servant brings in native fruits and q
bottle of native wine, and you are expected
to partake of some of them. If the daughter

you converse, they can speak a little French

can seldom more than read and write. Yet
while they maintain 'that other lands may
be beautiful, bat give me Peru-other cities
famous and great, but 1 care for none but
Lima" you are charmed by their polished
manner, the hearty embrace they give you
on entering, the reception and welcome they
bestow upon you, the hospitality and absence
of apology, and the charming freedom and
innocence of their address. They all play
(from ear mostly and well, without
urging. They dance most gracefully and
naturally as possible, and they urge you
to repeat your call or visit, with the most
sincere expressions OF pleasure at your COM
ing. The soft, languid black eyes, the clear
olive complexion, the straight black hair-all
growing upon their heads in such wonderful
p~rofuslon-the liquid, Spanish accent, the
perfect ease of their manner, all
serve to fascinate you, and you fail
to observe that they are perfectly illite-
rate and ignorant; that their hands are often
dingy, though covered with diamonds; and
that the tiny foot, peeping from the trailing
white wrapper, has often no stocking Cor a very
dirty one), and torn old slipper"
