Advance of Innumerable Grasshoppers

ST. LoUIs, May 20.-A special dispatch to
the Republican from Austin, Texas, says grass
hoppers in innumerable numbers have made
their appearance in that State, and are laying
waste all vegetation. In some localities they
have entirely destroyed the corn, consuming
it down TO level with the ground. They
seem to he moving northward and it is feared
that Mississippi, Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska
will be visited.
The Democrat this morning publishes large
batch of correspondence from all parts of Mis-
souri,, Southern Illinois, Kansas and Iowa,
which predicts large and excellent wheat
crop, but short crops OF oats and corn.

The Vienna Commissioners.

VIENNA, May 1.-THE investigation into the
charges against the suspended commissioners
to the exhibiion.have been completed and the
voluminous details have been forwarded TO
Washington. The inquiry developed the fact
that the appropriation made by the United
States Congress for the exhibition is nearly
exhausted, and the charges of bribery have
been fully sustained. 1t was also brought to
light that $50, 600 were expended on the roof
of the sewing machine department when the
actual cost was not more than one-tenth that
sum. Other reckless expenditures was also
proven. Matters are row better under the
direction of the new commissioners. Goods
are arriving rapidly, and it is expected the
American department will be ready by the

BRIDGE PETITION.
To tic Honorable Board Of Commission

To tic Honorable Bourd Of Commission
ers for Montgomery County:
yNTE, the undersigned, citizens and tax
w payers of Montgomery county, re-
specially represent to your Honorable Body,
that the public convenience requires bridge
across what is known as the 'Long Branch"
on the road leading from the old Badens-
burg road to the Brookevile Turnpike at
Blair's Gate. The county has built bridge
across Sligo branch, on the same road, which
is nearly valueless without bridge across
the stream above named. There is a steep
hill on the west side of ''Long Branch, .
which can be made easy of ascent only by the
erection of a bridge about len feet high and
about twelve feet wide A large and thickly
settled neighborhood cannot use the road in
reaching market and the proposed Silver
Spring Depot, on the Metropolitan Branch
Railroad for the want of a bridge. We there
fore earnestly petition your Honorable Body
to havega bridge built across said branch as
early as practicable

A ROMANTIC SToRy OF THE LATE Chief JUS
TICE.-In mind so subtle and cultivated, and
possessingrare gifts both of capacity for anal
ysis and generalization, there was implanted
an imperious ambition which gnawed like the
worm that deth not, and burned like the fire
that wonld rot be quenched, While a student
of law nnder William Writ, he addressed
beautiful aud accomplished lady of Lynchburg,
Virginia. She discarded him. Stung to the
quick by this wound on a proud and sensitive
spirit, be told her she had discarded man
who would some day be President of the Uni
ted States. Throughout his life this was the
goal of that ambition which, even in after
years, illumised with a strange light his clear
cut and classic features. - C0uier-JournaI.

CONFESSION OF HoLLoHAN.-Of his own ac-
cord Hollohan, one of the murderers of, Mrs
Lampley, has made full confession impicat-
ing Nicholson as the principal. He says that
Nicholson proposed the murder as necessary
TO robbery of the house; to this Holohan
objected, that the proposition was afterwards
renewed by Nicholson when he consented The
two entered the house on the night Of the
murder, when all the other members were alb
sent, where the poor old woman entertained
them as friends, when he at a signal given by
Nicholson, seized her by the throat, whilst his
haser companion struck her violent blow
they then laid her down on the floor, Hollo-
han remained with the murdered woman whilst
Nicholson went up stairs for the money Mich
olson was familiar with the house and knew
where the money was kept. He also states
that he had his pistol ready to take care of
John Lampley or any one who should intrude
upon them. Hollohan exculpates Tucker and
freely coniesses his own guilt, but says he
wants Nicholson to stand on the same .plat-
form with himself.
CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.-The N. Y. Sgr
dwells on the causes, or probable causes, Of
sudden deaths of men in public life which have
recently taken place, aud comes to the conclu-
sion that overwork and want of rest are at the
bottom of it.
Innutrtion and overwork (it says) cause
degeneration in the coats of the blood vessels
in the brain, and then, by bursting or over
distension, death may occur at anytime
Again the majority of people in this coun-
try use largely such inferior food, as flesh
meats and preparations of iue -four, half de-
composed with yeast or Soda and also use in
their cooking operations, lard, butter, sugar,
salt, spices, etc, which is not food in any
sense, and as many who live thus, work hard
er than any ought to work who live on the
best diet, the editor thinks il is a wonder that
apoplexy is not more frequent than it is.

port, and its aim will be to deserve it by pre-

MARYLAND INSTITUTION FOR THE EDUCATION
OF THE DEAF AND DuMB.-We have received
the Fourth Annual Report of this Institution,
and thus early in lis career it presents bright
record. The whole number of pupils is l0l-
sixty-four males and thirty-seven females
OF these So are from Baltimore City, the re-
mainder from fourteen counties in the State,
one being from Londoun county, Va. There
is but one reported from this county, but there
must be others in the county who ought to be
enjoying the blessings of this noble charity
We were sorry to see from the Report, that
''the idea prevails among too many that this
is an asylum where patients are received for
an indefinite time, instead of School, in ali
essential points like other Schools, differing
only in methods of instruction, into which
children are received to be educated and from
which they graduate when the prescribed
course is Finished The object is to educate
these unfortunate ones and learn them trades
by which they may earn a livelihood. When
its advantages are fully known and properly
appreciated Gas they will be) we venture to
say that but few, if any, will not bless the day
when they entered this Institution. The cdu-
cation Of the deaf and dumb and blind is the
greatest triumph of the nineteenth century.
This Institution is located at Frederick City
and is incomplete, the appropriation of $loO,
600 by the last legislature having, through
some defect in the law, ftiledto be madeavai-
able.
All letters addressed to the Principal (Chas.
w. Ely will receive prompt attention.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT A short time since
in this city,a brlliantand much admired lady
who had been suffering for some time with
trouble OF the eyes, was led TO fear a speedy
change for the worse, and Immediately con-
suited her physician. An examination dis
covered a sudden and fatal failing in the optic
nerve and the information was impaired as
gently as possible, that the patient could not
retain her sight more than a few days at most,
and was liable TO be totally deprived of il at
any moment. The afflicted mother returned
to her home, quietly made such arrangements
as would occur TO one about TO commence so
dark journey of life, and then had her two
little children at.ired in their brightest and
sweetest costumes, brought before her; and so,
with their little faces lifted to hers, and tears
hardly realized, the light faded out of the mo-
TIERS eyes, leaving an inefiaceable picture Of
those dearest to her on earth--a memory of
bright faces that will console her in many a
dark hour Copington (Ky,) Journal.

contains the following:
"Thc day will come when the evil passions
of the great civil strife viii sleep in oblivion,
and North and South will do Justice to each
others motives and forget each others wrongs
Then history will speak with clear voice of the
deeds done on either side, and the citizens of
the whole Union DO justice TO the memory of
the dead, and place above all others the name
Of the great chief Of whom we have written
In strategy mighty; in battle terrible; in ad-
veTsity, as in prosperity, a hero indeed, with
the simple devotion to duty and the rare puri-
ty of the ideal Christian knight he joined all
the kingly qualities of legder of men. 1t is
wondrous future, indeed, that lies before
America, but in her annals of years to come
as in those of the past, there will be found few
names that can rival in unsulied lustre that

FoRETGN DEMAND FOR GRAM .--Itis cstimat-
ed that the United Kingdom Of Great Britain,
by the 3lst of August, wiz have imported
between the LIST Of April 1873, and that date
about az, 900, 600 bushels of wheat 1t is fur
ther estimated that the United States, on an
average furnishes one fourth of the importa-
tions into that country. According to careful
calculations, the total visible supply Of wheat
in this country at present including stocks in
granary at the principal points Of accumula-
ton, and cargoes in transit, is I, 400, 900 bush
els. AT this time last year it was s,344, 2ls.
Assuming that America furnishes one-fourth
of the supply to The United Kingdom, her
proportion, from the above figures, will fall
about 1000, 600 in the present crop, some Of
which will be ready for market before the 3lst
of August. This exhibit would argue consid-
cradle stimulation to the price OF wheat and
certainly sustains the belief that breadstulls
will rule steady and firm at present prices at
least. We give these facts to our readers, pre-
ferring that they should draw their own con-
illusions, rather than form them from any COM
ments Of our own.

In another column viii be found the ad-
yertisement OF the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing
Machine Company. The Wheeler & Wilson
is the leading Family Sewing Machine, and
is the only one making the lock-stitch with
out recourse to the old weaving principle Of
the shuttle, which requires so much more pow
er to drive it, and the stop and start motion of
which is so much. harder on the wearing and
lasting qualities of machine than the simple
rotating hook of this machine. This simple
device produces a continuous forward move
mcnt, thus escaping that incessant vibrating
motion which makes the shuttle machine SO
noisy, and causes them TO wear out so soon,
besides costing so much more Cor repairs
Durability, simplicity, and range of work are
the strong points Of this machine, and we
would advise such of our readers as contem-
plate the purchase of Sewing Machine TO ex-
anime the Wheeler & Wilson. Mr. Henry G.
Lochte, of this place, is agent for the county,
and will be pleased to show the machine 10
all desiring 10 see it in operation.
