Ravages Of the Grasshoppers in Southwestern
Minnesota.
Taiadelia Letter. July ., to st. Paul Prose- l

TMadelis Letter. July 9. to st. Paul Pross.l
1t is pretty we'll understood that the
grasshoppers in this immediate vicinity.
will nearly, If not entirely, ruin the entire
crop for this season. In fact and truth.
nine -tenths of all grain in this country ia
now entirely destroyed by these pests, and
thousand different opinions are given as
to their migration. Many seem to think
that 1T is not in the nature of things that
they should continue for another year.
Others claim that there is a prospect of
everything in the shape of vegetation being
destroyed during the coming season but
none seem to have theory at all salts

were In good circumstances last week, are
now confronted with starvation, as wheat

up the whole means of their supplies md,
that beingsentirely destroyed, their all is
and good faith in the future, with their
heretofore heroic courage and ambition.
are all gone. By one whirlpool of destruc-
tion they are left on deserted and, at
present, q barren soil, with nothing but the
wants of large and dependent families to
console them, and yet many of them seem
to imagine that they can endure this great
loss for another year; but others cannot,
and ought to receive prompt attention.
At this writing July 2, at noon, the sky is
really darkened with the myriads of these
pests' now passing over the village to the
North, and, in case they leave Immediate
ly, Madelia may be able to save sufficient
for bread and seed. All the counties in
this State, south and east of us, have been
completely ravaged, there is no room to
doubt and it seems that the State Gov
ernment ought soon to take action in this
important matter.

Dssultory Reading.

Some distinguished writers have laid
down very simple principle for the guild
ance of ordinary readers. Read, they said,
good books and good books alone. Be
and preserve your mind from the trash OF
the circulating library. The motives which
prompt the advice are only too palpable.
In days when q large proportion of the
population is more or less reading, it is
melancholy to see that the effect is in one
respect the very reverse of what might
have been hoped. The greatest writer's,
though they may have positively larger
audience, have relatively O smaller audi
ence than ever. Their works are pushed
aside by masses of ephemeral literature,
and even when read they are read with
little attention. The mind becomes de-
moTalized by the habit of desultory and
superficial study =; and man who reads at
ga;lop expects that Shakespeare will yield
up his secret as easily as the last new nov
eiist. The greatest men are distinguished
from the little men in nothing more than
this, that the tenth or twentieth reading of
their books is more fruitful than the first
whereas a modern reader is far too impa-
tient to give more than one audience to the
most venerable of teachers. Nothing,
therefore, Is more natural than to denouace
as debilitating practice all study of infe.
rior authors. Life is shorter than ever 10
proportion to what has to be crowded into
~ u uui uiaSs are DOt larger. We
should, therefore, lay down immovable
regulations against the invasion of dis
tracing influences. The time which we
oawdle away over the valueless parts of
newspapers would enable us to become ia.
mlllar with the thoughts of the wisest and
best Of men. If man had to choose
whether few months hence he would be
familiar with the ins and outs of the Itch
borne case, or have made a careful study
OF the Greek dramatists, no reasonable
being could hesitate. In one case he would
simply have enjoyed questionable
amusement, which leaves no trace behind
1t, In the other his imagination would have
oeen stored with perpetual source of de-
light. Yet hardly anybody has sufficient
foresight or resolution to sacrifice the tenn.
porary excitement in consideration of the |
permanent advantage. The case, indeed, |
ls, up to certain point, too plain to admit |
OF argument. Every body should have an
inner circle of friends amongst books, to
which none but the really great writer's |!
should be admitted. So far as the reading |
Is not mere pastime, but part of the |
Systematic cultivation of the faculties, it is |
only valuable in proportion as it implies
close and intimate knowledge. No poetry
ls really worth reading unless it is worth
learning by heart. A man may say that |
he has read Shakspeare's sonnets, if he has
through them as he glances through |
. leading article ; but he has not read them |
in any profitable sense, until they have |
fascinated his imagination and sunk into |
his memory. Really great books, in short. |
must be assimilated, and they scarcely be. |
gin to produce their true influence until |
we know them SO well that actual reference
becomes almost superf1uous.-London Sat |

was once asked by a very able man, -
says the Table-Talker in the Gentleadn's
Magazine, to believe that we frequently
had presentiments just before the advent of
friend or acquaintance, for which we
could not account except on the hypothesis
of some spiritual emanation casting, as il
were, the shadows before our coming
friends. thought it an interesting theory.
and imagined that could recall many
instances of this order of presentiment.

me. For a week I keptpsy Geological watch
over my spiritual warnings; but, in that
time, had drawn go many blanks and
never prize, that went to my friend and
advised him to apply my method of-inves
tigation. He did 40, aud the "ccu:t emaua
tlon hypothesis collapsed. So l susp ct
would many another theory of tokens and
presentiments if we only had half as good
a record Of the signs which signify nothing.
and the fora warniDgs which begin aud
end with themselves, as we have Of those
which are-accidentaily aud exceptionally.
| say-followed by events" We once tried
similar plan with a lady, who talked
much of her premonitions: the result was.
that many important events, and even
calamities, came like thunder ont of q clear
sky, giving NO forewarning sign; many
premOnitions ended in nothing and those
that were justified by the event proved,
upon analysis, to be mere predictions OF
posei bilities - predictions that any one
might have made if he had calculated like
1ihoods.

Francis Defreitas, Esq, has invented 1

Francis Defreitas, Esq, has invented /
gun, which is now being manufactured in
this city by S. Defreitas, gunsmith, which,
We are assured, from tests already made,
bids fair to outrival the famous French
mitrailleuse, in the great number of shots
which can be discharged in given time,
with the advantage that it is a email arm,
no larger than the average Chassepot or
needle guu. Mr.: Defreitae in company with
a couple Of friends, a few miles north of
this city, on Monday last, made test of
the gun, which places it's success beyond
cavil. Thirty eight shots were discharged
in less than one minute. The inventor
claims that when fully perfected the gun
will discharge sixty shots per minute with.
out damaging effect by heating, with re.
serve of one hundred shots. 1t has been
in process of construction in this city and
New York, under Mr.. Defreitas' su-
perintendence, for over two years. The
central idea on which the gun is con-
structed was conceived shortly after the
battle of Nashville, where Mr.. Defreitas
was himself wounded through his right
lung.-6prinatSeId Register.

"When a man has been out in the world
long time," remarks the Tribune, earn

astonishing how ignorant he soon becomes,
and with what awe he listens to little girls
bounding the principle countries of Eu-
rope, and stating the latitude and longi-
tude of capital cities-perhaps spelling
with ease and accuracy many Of those
