The GrasshOpper Scientifically
Treated.

The grasshopper is an orthopterous
insect of the Gryllas uulgaris species, de-
scendant of the great grasshOpper known
in England as the riridissimus. We be-
lieve we hazard nothing in saying that
the subject of our sketch" is everything
that it's horrid appellation indicates-a
bug with so much Greek and Latin in its
name cannot be anything but horrid.
And yet we are told that the GryHus rul-
gurus is mere plaything in comparison
with its great English ancestor, uiridissi-
mus. The latter can destroy an eighty
acre field while the former is getting up
an appetite.
We had intended presenting in this
issue life-size photograph or grassotype
of Grylius, but upon reflection we have
concluded that it would be a useless ex-
pense, as most of our readers are already
familiar with his general cast of counte-
nance 1t will be noticed that this
grass-ating or grass-eating individual has
four joints to each foot-a sort of leg
quartet-each joint being as long
as Theodore Tilton's hair. Conse-
quently, when he assemblies in joint
convention, every precinct is sure to be
represented. No proxies are allowed,
and Gryllus is therefore never admitted
unless he comes himself
Although his wings are transparent, we
being "too thin" When his wings are
opened out for business they take up as
much room as a woman's hat at a theater
but when not in active use they are
folded longitudinally like a Japanese fan
Grylius possesses a very fine head, the
features being about as expressive as a
Chinese nut-crackcr; his nose is of the
aquiline order, with an independent
respiratory apparatus, which is used as Il
sort of weather barometer. His teeth
are well developed and very sharp; each
grasshopper carries bottle of Sozodoni
in his side pocket, and owing to theiI

The testimony Of competent judges is
decided in the opinion that the use of
ardent spirits is huriful TO the health and
long life. and the old-fashioned calculations
of Nelson, in his IHal .SNtistica, are con-
iirmcd by the researches of the General
Life-olllcc. According to these estimates,
the probability of death among drinkers
between tWcnty-onc and forty years is ten
times as much rs among the whole po1ula-
ton; between toriy-Onc and sixty years.
four times rs much; and among habitual
tiprlers over sixty years of age twice as
much as among people at large. In England,
1SjO-j9, over 5000 cases We're reported OF
men who had literally drank themselves to
death. Nelson has given us his investiga-
tion of Gill tipplcrs, that out Of 900 5S.4
died annually. while out cf 1000 inhabi-
tanls of the same age only nineteen die.
Thus the mortality among drinkers is three
times NJ great as in the community at
large. He has carried ont his calculation
into all ages, and shown how this chronic
self-murder marvclously dlminishes the ex-
pectation Of life The highest point as To
numbers is found in the years lS5l-60,
which reported 1872 men and "A women in
temperate out OF 10000, in England and
Wales, and which reckon the diminu-
ton in the rate of expectation of life accord

consider that thebuilding of through road
which shall be devoid of existing objections
will enable producers of all classes to be
largely benefited, as five times the num-

then be safely run to transport grain and

SMALL Pox.-Ycsterday morning The
GLOBE announced the small poX prevailing
on the turnpike. 1t was reported to us
that three cases existed in that locality,
which we had reason believe, from the
fact that the question had been submitted
to the school trustees, whether children
living in the infested section should be
allowed TO remain in the public schools.
We are glad to learn from John A. Shell
don, Esq, one of the board of selectmen,
that one case has existed in that section,
but it was not brought to the attention of
the authorities until the patient was con
valescent. No new cases have arisen there
from and no small poX now exists.
