About 0rasshuppers.

These vegetable feeders for want of
numbers, have for these many years been
In this State. comperatively harmless, but
simply by their increased numbers, have &,
this season, become very destructive.
There arc several species Of the grass
hopper which infesttAe CROPS. That most
common and most tro1hlssnme in New
England, is the red-lsGgsA species. This
is our principal oGsader d the grasshop-
per line; whea fully grown Is ahost one
inch long, having two sets OF straight
wings, the under ones being gathered up
in longitudinal folds like fan.
They do not sisibls emerge from the egg
state In the form Of grub or worm. fol-
lowed by quisceut OF pgPa state, but on
the contrary, they come from the egg
perfectly formed insect. lacking only the
wings and size Of the adult.
There are gigantic species in Central and
Southern America which are four inches
long. In Mississippi there Is glossy
black species which measures two and
three fourths inches. The naturalist Pliny
found kinds in India which were three feet
on long. and having hind Shoulders 50
stout and thorny that the natives used them
for saws In California, and especially in
Utah, grasshoppers are known TO occur
periodically in destructive swarms. In
Maine, tor . period of - years. they have
not been 50 numerous As TO excite any
great anxiety. There Is wingless species
which infesis the Shasta Valley, and also
some parts OF Utah. that Is very destruct-
i've.
These insects are popularity known. both
in England and In the United States, by
the name OF grasshopers; but are
clearly allied TO the an-deyouring 40

From one OF the comedies Of Arisio-
planes We learn thX; grasshoppers were
considered 4 delicacy in Ancien: Greece,
aud were exposed for sale in their mar
kets. The Digger Indians, OF Gallo, nia
eat them al the present day. They de
prive the insects OF their wings and feet
and then beat them into thick batter, and
bake into a sort of cake. Sometimes they
are fried in their own oil. OF which they

to be by no means unpalatable, even tc

FATE OF THE IwPzAcHzRs.

Some industrious journalist has
devoted little time to tracing the
career of those who made haste to
advocate, and attempt the impeach-
ment of President Johnson. Iufa-
nous as was the scheme 60 dispose
Of Andrew Johnson because of his
devotion to law and liberty. those
who conceived and fostered it were

class of politicians who hourished
amid the gloom and violence Of the
days Of war, but who one hy one
have been consigned to oblivion in

and right prevail. It Is instructive
to follow them aud note how
promptly they have been repudiated
by intelligen: constituencies. Ash

infamous act, met with m iu-lor.ous

Tea Trade of San Francisco.

Facts are stubborn things, 10 matter
if time is money, and our friends of the
San Francisco Commercial Herald are
neither so dull as not to be able to see
them, nor so stubborn we hope as not to
be willing to admit shem when seen.
We therefore call their attention to the
following facts, and respectfully request
them to give their readers the benefit of
them as well.
Teas are imported from China in what
are called chops. A chop OF green tea
embraces, say, three grades of Imperial,
as many each at leat of Gunpowder, Hy-
son and Young Hyson and one each of
Hyson Skin and Twankay, and each chop
generally runs from 300 to 1,5OO chests.
The importer, through his broker,
breaks up his chop into lines, in order TO
sell out to the best advantage, and sup
ply the requirements of the trade of diff
ferent sections of the country. The
Western trade, for instance, takes only
the finer grades of teas. Now, then, the
San Francisco importer, to supply that
trade. sells out his better grades, and
having no other trade to supply, finds the
inferior kinds left on his hands, which
time and again he has had to sell through
New York brokers to go to 4 trade that
demands them. He cannot sell them at
home. California with its less than one
million of inhabitants, Is no market for
them. They seek either the Southern or
