Miss Clara Norris, the celebrated TRACE
dienne, will appear at Granite Hall, on Thurs
day and Friday evenings of this week, in the
character of Lucretia Borgia in the play of
that name, and of Iago in Shakespeare grand
tragedy of Othello. Notwithstanding the
high expectations raised by the fame of Miss
Norris, her audiences have invaribly been sur
prised at her admirable acting. Her dramatic
talents are of the highest order, and with the
strong support that accompanies her to Angus
ia, cannot fail to draw full houses.

The Trustees of the North Kennebec Agri-
cultural Society, to avoid collision with
neighborng societies, decided to hold their
Fair week earlier this year. but as often
happens when two individuals turn out for
each other, they both turn the same way and
bump their heads together, so they found that
the old Kennebec society had done the same
at they had They therefor concluded to go
back to the old time, and the Show and Fair
for 1871 will be held at Waterville, on Tues
day and Wednesday, Oct. and 4.

Insects as Musicians.

We frequently hear people speak OF the
singing of crickets and grasshoppers.
These insects are very noisy, 1t IS true,
but they are not vocalists; they are lnstru-
mental performers. Each one is furnsheo
with a sort of violin, upon which 1t plays
without any instruction. In the crickets,
a norton or rib of each wing is furnished
with teeth, which serves as the bow, ana
a hard, smooth rib answers for the strings
of the fiddle. The insect rubs one wing
over the other, and then Ieverses the
movement, and by the scraping OF these
two parts together the s1und Is produced.
The grasshOppers manage somewhat ol,-
ferently. The long hind legs are tne no,
dle-bows. The inner surface of the broad
upper part of these legs is furnished with
over eighty small, lancet shaped, elastic
teeth, and these the insect scrapes against
the sharp ribs upon the wing cover-or
outer wiur-first one and then the other.
The loxdest instrumental performer among
onr insects is the Katydid. In still night
the constantly repeated katy y-did-she-dld"
NAV be heard for the distance of quarter
of mile. The katydid produces its note
bv means of its wings, which are pecu-
liarly fitted for the purpose. In each wing,
cover there is a little tambourlne formed
of a thin, transparent membrane, or SKIN,
stretched in g strong, half oval frame. as
the Wing-covers are open and shut, tnese
little tambouIines rub against one another
and produce the sounds which give the IN,
sect its name. These notes are supposed
To he useful to the insects in enabling them
to find their mates. From the constancy
with which some of them keep up the
sounds we think that they must be pleased
with their own music. Boys just learning
to whistle make noise that, whatever 1t
NAV be to others, seems very pleasing to
themselves, and they keep it up for their
own qualification. 1t may be that insects
do the same.-Anaericdn Agi iculturtst.

The New York Democracy.

New YORK city is the chief seat and
center of Democracy. 1t is there it enjoys
its greatest triumphs. 1t is there the peo-
pie must look for its proudest achievements
for that practice which follows in the
wake of its boisterous professions 1t is
there that the great representatives OF the
party-August Belmont, the Chairman OF
the National ommittee-resides, and
rides at horse races with silver feathers in
his cap. with satin vest and velvet coat,
and other trappings to match. 1t is there
that Tweed wears the S20,0C0 diamonds
in his shirt bosom, as the symbol of chief
tainship. 1t is there all the real leaders
congregate, and parade the streets in cost
ly carriages with heraldic paBels and
liveried servants-riot in ILL., gotten wealth,
and talk Democracy while they practice
larceny.
The party tree must be known by its
fruit. With seventy thousand majority
even partisan impudence dares not charge
the astounding frauds that have come TO
light upon Republicans. As party ex-
hibIt it is complete within itself. Moth
ing is wanting to intensity the spectacle
but additional truth. And this is the
party that asks to control the national
government To what depths has de-
pravity reached when such a suggestion
Is possible !-CRicdgo Post.

Home Talk to Girls.

Your every day toilet is part of your
character. & girl that looks like "fury"
or "sloven" in the morning is not to be
trusted, however finely she may look in
the evening. No matter how humble
your room may be, there are eight things
it should contain, namely: A mirror, wash
stand, soap, towel, comb, hair, nail and
tooth brushes Those are just as essential
as your breakfast, before which you should
make good use of them. Parents who
fail to provide their children with such ap-
pliances not only make great mistake
but commit sin of omission. Look tidy
in the morning, and after the dinner work
is over improve your toilette. Make it q
rule of your daily life to "dress up" for
the afternoon. Your dress may or need
not be anything better than calico; but
with a ribbon or flower or some bit of or
nament, you can have an air of self-respect
and satisfaction that invariably comes with
being well dressed. A girl with fine sensi-
bilities cannot help feeling embarrassed
and awkward in ragged and dirty dress,
with her hair unkempt, should a neighbor
come in. Moreover, your self-respect
should demand the decent appareling of
your body. You should make it a point
TO look as well as you can, even if you
know nobody will see you but yourself-

DENSITY OF POPULATION IN CHINA
It is generally supposed that there are
more people on the average to square
mile in China than in any other country.
This hardly seems the case, judging from
facts recently published. In kwantung,
from which province most of the Chinese
in California have emigrated, 1t is reported
there are about 24O persons living on
square mile, and in the three provinces
next inland the population is seventy to
the square mile. On comparing the coun
tries of Europe with Chins, it appears
that in Belgium there are 436 persons to
the square mile, and in some provinces
there are as many as TOO to the square
mile. Again, England has $40 inhabitants
to the square mile; Ireland, $50, and scot
land 90. The average per square mile IN
Europe is less than $50, and Is about 3OO

Poetry.
UNDER THE STARS.

Twas on c1oudless summer night;
The moon threw down her radiant light;
The river ran, a silver thread,
Beside the curying road that led
Around the hiils-with laugh and song,
merry ctowd, we drove along.
Beside me sat-you know-a friend;
My gaz toward the stars did tend;
" How brightl' said. He answered Yes
As bright as starsl' Bat, dear, you guess
That while for me tn stars did shine
HIS eyes looked level into mine.
Just then, from blue moonlighted space
A Star dropped; all It's shining race
Looked after it and blinked away
In careless wonder: "Quick, pray,
And wish, before falls,aI cried
i've wished" he Quickly replied.
But whst he wished he would not tell
Although tteased him-.s All the spell
Were broken ii th might be told;
But when again the scattered gold
Should sprinkle all the heavenly blue,
He'd tell me, and 'twould all come true"
And all the night the stars looked down
Inquisitive till mornings frown
OF angry red obscured their light,
The day slow passed, then came the night,
And out they rushed in haste, pell nell,
To hear the wish he had to tell.
But all the night we danced. till they
Grew pale and weary with delay;
And then the fragrant fields between,
We homeward rode, and all the scene
Was magicai-our tones were low,
Our pacv was somewhat very slow:
'' Your wish," said, and all the dew
Clung round us as If listening toe;
y My wish THE stars bent do n to hear
IS My wish was-you might love me, dear"
The stars they must have freshed in glee,
For something blinded, dazzled me.
The silvery mist in their surprise
They must have rushed into my eyes,
For out Of them rolled, crystal clear,
A something very like a tear;
And just as he had said 'twouid do,
His wish, sure enough, came true.
The morning stars once sang to men.
And why should they not sing again?
You won't believe i.-but taey did
To rs; and when at last he bid
Good bye, tn -ir solemn light SAID, wen,
We saw it all, but we won't tell 9
