can look dentist square in the face
without blushing
These insect-cannibals are very regu-
lar in their habits, only eating one meal
a day, commencing at four o'clock a. m.
and continuing until the same hour on
the following morning. Their principal
article of diet is ATrhenatheruna arenaceum,
which in vulgar parlance means grass"
If the grass crop happens to be little
short they can easily accommodate
themselves to the situation by eating
corn, and when they tackle field of
growing maize the owner also grows
amazed, and demands the appointment
of a receiver in bankruptcy.
The above are some of the peculiarities
of the grasshoppers as seen on farm,
where they can be studied with much
prolific everybody except the farmer.
In the city, where the grasshoppers have
pre-empted the front yards, and amuse
themselves by turning hand-springs, run
ming foot-races and playing croquet, the
scene is entirely different, and the
GTylluses and young piridissimusses show
to much better advantage. Topeka

The Little Sidewalk Artist.

His name is James William Carlin, and
he was born in Liverpool of Irish par
ents. He is now thirteen years of age,
and an orphan With hair that could
hardly have made the acquaintance of
comb or brush, threadbare sack coat, a
greasy vest, pair of blue overalls,
through the rents in which the old, worn
pantaloons are visible, and pair of
coarse, unblacked shoes, he resembles in
everything but his face the familiar
street gamin. But the broad, high fore
head, the large, dreamy, blue eyes, and
thoughtful, varying expression OF his
countenance tell of his living in an inner
world, unknown to the rude, unsenti-
mental bootblacks and newsboys with
whom he associates.
The crowd thickens, and the last COM
ers strain their necks to see what is go
ing on Inside the circle the older peo-
pie stand silently watching the child
with that reverence that true art, crude
though it be, always inspires.
With the broad flagstones for canvas
the foot of wooden stocking for an
artists case, and crayons of various tints
for colors, resting his knees on his bat
tered felt hat, the childs plant fingers
sketch with quick, nervous movement a
floating battery discharging its guns at a
fort by moonlight, grotesque figures OF
men and animals, or portraits OF distin.
guished men, and the eyes OF the crowd
follow every movement Of the crayon as
it leaves its mark upon the rough stone.
The crowd press upon him and he stops
his work to gently push them back, the
mass obeying his motion as readily as II
he had the authority of an officer
Returning again to his sketch he
stops his busy fingers to give the pc
culiar sidewise look at his unfinished
work that every artist bestows upon his
progressive picture, and then proceeds
again until his task is done.
Rising from his knees, and taking the
hat which has served him for cushion
in his hand, he presents il to the crowd
for gratuities, and men drop cents and
five-cent coins into it as if they were pay
ing mite of merited tribute to genius,
not as if giving aims for charity's sake:
What will be the future OF this waif OF
an artist would be hard to tell, but IT Is
not impossible that James William Car
lin may have more written about him
before he dies.--HeaTth and Home.

The Grasshopper Scientifically
Treated.

The grasshopper is an orthopterous
insect of the Gryllus pulgaris species, de-
scendant of the great grasshopper known
in England as the 0iridisstmus. We be-
lieve we hazard nothing in saying that
the " subject of our sketch" is everything
that its 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 GTyttus Uut-
gurus is mere plaything in comparison
with its great English ancestor, Uirtdtssi-
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 GryLtus, but upon reflection we have
concluded that it would be useless ex-
pense, as most of our readers are already
familiar with his general cast of counte-
nance. 1t will be noticed that this
grassating or 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 GrytIus Is therefore never admitted
unless he comes himself
Although his wings are transparent, we
have never heard anybody accuse him OF
being "too thin" When his wings are
opened out for business they take up as
much room as woman's hat at theater;
but when not in active use they are
folded longitudinally like a japanese fan.
GrylLns possesses very fine head, the
features being about as expressive as a
Chinese nut-cracker; his nose is of the
aquiline order, with an independent
respiratory apparatus, which is used as a
sort Of weather barometer. His teeth
are well developed and very sharp; each
grassbopper carries bottle of Sozodont
In his side pocket, and owing to their
excellent preservation he is rarely called
upon to secede from one OF his molars !;
his jaws know nothing of the joys Of
toothache, and there isn't Grytlus in
Kansas or a viriGsssimus in England that

THIS is the time for snake stories. One
of the latest is told by man in Della
ware. He was attacked by one of those
reptiles some time ago in Sussex County
he says, and in order TO escape he jumped
behind tree. Thereupon the snake in
its rage struck at the tree, and thirty
minutes afterward dizziness in the leaves
was perceptible. In another hour they
began TO fall off, and now nothing is left
save withered, naked trunk. Not so
bad, that

PRAIRIE FIRES.

The autnmn frost begins to blight,
Rut here and there late blossoms linger;
rhe maple leaves are glowing bright,
Red painted all by Autumn's finger
The birds are gone; the chill wind grieyes
Among the dry and withered grasses,
And showers of gold or scarlet leaves
n eings from every tree 1t passes.
Ru, ace a spark has fallen there
Among the grasses Of the prairie;
And HIGH and higher in the air
The flames are leaping light and airy.
Wow. farmers, guard your boarded grain;
The flames are wider, dercer growing,
And. urging on the fiery train,
The raging wind is wildly blowing.
The sun sinks low, the waning light
Is fading fast from hills and meadows;
The NIGHT. SO strangely, granGly bright,
Mantles the earth in fitful shadows.
Now Bercer still the wild winds blow
The sky the fiery color catches;
And brighter yet the red flames glow
And vide the blaekened prairie stretches.

MUSICAL.

In our musical notice of yesterday morn
ing the typesetter made blunder
in giving the name of the generous donor
OF music to Mr.. Mietzke, as Or. Seares,
instead of Rev. Or. Seaver, the former
pastor of the Rutland Congregational
church, and in this connection we must
commend the skill AMI energy of Mr..
Mietzke in his selection and training of a
double quartette choir, which Is pronounced
by those who are competent to judge of
their merits unsteady, as being quite up to
the standard of any amateur choirs of the
city churches in America, In the morn
ing service last Sunday was introduced an
exquisite composition of Mr.. Mietzke to
the words of the 6S0th hymn of the church
collection, commencing so eyes that are
weary,"-in which the soprano solo, sung
by Mrs. Metzke, was extremely effective,
and was enunciated with the taste and vo-
cal power of some Of our most celebrated
artists.
The bass solo of Mr.Aldace F. Walker was
rendered with his usual force and skill,
while the choral harmony was so perfect
that the entire performance left mos
soothing and reverential impression upor
the entire congregation.
We anticipate great pleasure in listening
to the future efforts Of this choir, wheI
they have had the further advantage o
practice under their talented director.

Burlington Election.
BURLINGTON, Aug. 81.

BURLINGTON, Aug. 81.
The Free Press, this evening, questions
the eligibility of d. B. Smalley, the demo-
cratic candidate for representative on the
ground that he is clerk of the United States
Circuit and District Court. Great excite
ment prevails and the democracy are not
50 jubilant as they have been over the
prospect of electing Mr.. Smaley. Judge
Parker's chances are improving every hour.
The claim Of ineigibility is under de-
cison of Chief Justice Willard, we believe
of New Yo.k, and section 26 of part of
the Constitution of Vermont. The Free
Press holds that if elected Mr.. Smalley
cannot hold his seat and the city will be
unrepresented.
Henry N. Newell, Esq, will probably
be the successful candidate for representa-
tive in Shelburn, although the contest will
be close between him and Edgar Nash.
The intelligence received here this even
ing shows the canvass at St. Adams to be
spirited and bitter between Park Davis and
Lawrence Brainerd.
The election of Gen. Henry, as Senator,
is conceded by his opponents here tonight.

Important Meeting of Locomotive
Engineers.

PoRT JERvIs, Aug. 81.
An important meeting of the brotherhood
of locomotive engineers connected with
the Erie Railway was held here to-day.
The exact business of the meeting cannot
be definitely ascertained, but it is believed
to be of an important character. 1t is also
stated that convention of all the engi-
neers connecting with the trunk lines cen
tering in New York 10 soon to be held in
that city.
Notices of reduction of ten per cent. in
the pay of shopmen were posted in the
Erie shops of this place to-day, and it is
rumored that this action of the engineers
was in reference to contemplated re-
ductlon in their pay. The meeting was
large and has excited much interest.
