The San Francisco Bulletin observes
that grasshoppers deposit eggs in very
limited space-seldOm more than an
area of two or three acres. An expert
has no difficulty in the proper season to
discover the Matching bed, and ascertain
when tho young insect is likely TO
emerge from the egg. 1t is not many
wears since Russia was infested ~ tho
gras shopper plague and its broad wheat
lands devastated year after year a.
completely - Utah has been devastated
BY them during late years. The Russian
Government hasenlisted science to ITS aid
in carrying on the war OF DETERMINATION
against the grasshopper, and has sue
ceeded 40 well that the armies formerly
Matched on the plains have totally disap-
peared, and but few of those incubated
on the great steppes of the Ural Noun
tains ever reach the valleys. The mode
of warfare Is as simple rs it is effective,
the insects being captured before leav
ing the Matching grounds by small boys
with fy-nets. Experienced men are en-
pioyed to ascertain where the grasshop
pers' eggs are deposited, and the time
when incubation takes place. If by
these simple m cans the grasshopper,
plague can be expelled from the land
i. would certainly seem desirable tina
the experiment should be tried. II

Couycrsation With bismarck.

A correspondent of the World, writing
under date of Berlin, June 10Th, makes
public most remarkable conversation
with Prince Bismarck, in which the
prince, after giving expression to his
WEAKNESS Of spirit, is made to say :
The truth is, there are not half dozen
men in Germany on our side-l mean
who clearly comprehend the real mean
ing of the conflict in which We are en-
gagged, and in which, Notwithstanding
our successes thus far, if there is new
breach, we shall be beaten. Tho en-
peror does not understand it, and ii he
did, he would change sides in moment.
The crown prince perhaps understands
it, but he will put himself on the other
side, if he is not already on the other
side. Tho fight is the empire against
the church. 1t is fight of the state,
tho empire, monarchy or republic
against God, and in this fight the state
will get tho worst of it, unless it sue.
ceeds in describing the idea Of q God
and placing itself in his place. Men
must have something to worship. Wei,
then, let them worship the state, let il
be all in all let it take the place of the
family as well a. of tho Deity let it be
the Deity. In two generations, If We
had the field to ourselves, We could OBJ
llterste the idea of God, and the imagin;
ary rights bestowed on man by Him ai
their creator; that the substitution o!
the state in His place would be effected
and the state, As in pagan Rome, be all
in all.
The correspondent giving in his OWL
language the spirit of the continued
conversation with Bismarck, says: Thu
seminal idea Of the whole was that the
aspiration for liberty grow ont of a
belief in God that it would DO impos
sible to make perfectly subservient peo
pie out of mon imbued with the dogma
of christianity, and that while all form
of christianity were alike, he protested
to war against none but that OF the
Roman Catholic church, for the reason
that it alone was formidable. He said
"Nothing has amused me more than ih'
praises which l have received iron
protestant christians of England ant
Amerca. have wished to cr1sl
Rome that l might crush christianity
They praise me for my services in tn
cause Of what they call reformed chris
tianity. If anything could console M
for tho christianity which l foresce
am to endure for some time to come,
would be to witness the amazement
these good friends Of mine when the
understand the truth; but understand
it they never will.

What the Shah Admired In England.

Nothing seems to have struck the
Shah more than the soft and brilliant
vcrdure OF England, in which, indeed,
this country is without rival anywhere.
He found the turf beneath his windows
ut Buckingham Place SO much to his
liking that he forthwith caused mes
sage to be sent to the Queen, requesting
that it should be reserved exclusively
for his own use, and that nobody else
should be allowed to walk on it.
Thereafter he was observed pacing up
and down On it, delighting in its color
and its velvet surface beneath hrs foot ;
"caress,nc it Is he walked was the
phrase of ono who saw him. He de-
clared there was nothing like il in Persia,
which is doubtless true. l hope some
body repeated to him tho English max
i'm that it takes three generations to
make q gentleman, but three hundred
years to produce q perfect sward.
Next to the grass and trees, or per.
haps before, tho women Of England
have had the honor to interest the Shah
Regarding them naturally from the
Oriental point of view, His Majesty
had made . number of remarks which
will bear repetition in print The pre-
vaiIing fashion of dress has given him
abundant opportunity to compare their
attractions with those of his own harcm

One of the three told me she was in
clined to accept if the money couln b.

Granville's party at the Foreign office
on Tuesday night, it was an American
lady-or rs some say, two or thrct
fair Americans-who had the honor tt
attract this noble savage's regards.
