DANGEROUS WEALTH.-The London
Globe says: 1t is said among the posses
sions inherited by the present duke of
Richmond was found a bank note for
$2,500,000. This unique piece of paper
money, of whose existence we have no
ooubt, was preserved with great caution,
and by means which must have been a
source of peril to friends and foes. We
are informed that the late duke caused
the note to be deposited in casket, and
this casket was 80 fastened that any one
who attempted to handle it at once re-
ceiyed six pistol shots. The ingenious
casket, we are told, beceme burdensome
possession to the present duke. His an
cestor had not transmitted to him the
secret by which it might be opened with
safety and he was, therefore, not unnat-
urally timid in the examination of the
treasure. Upon these circumstances we
are not surprised to learn that he finally
determined to deliver the casket and its
contents to the Bank of England, and
to permit the officers of that establish
ment to investigate the ingenuity of the
terrible contrivance. The duty of prop
erty would even be in excess of its
rights if every inheritance was "tied up"
in this WaV.

MELANCHOLY JUSTICE.

In Detroit they have a j,stice who,
while there is much justice in his decis-
ions, has peculiar way of giving them,
Here is an instance:
Somehow or other, soda water isn't
what it used to be-" said His Honor, as
he leaned back behind the pile of war
rants and brushed the chestnut shucks
off his lap
"And the world itself seems dreary
waste to me-" replied Bijah, sad look
coming to his eyes. 81 sometimes don't
care how soon l am called upon to CO."
"My feelings, exactly" added the
clerk. "This world has no more pleas
ure for me-"
The wind sighed drearily around the
gables. A dog under the table uttered
mournful howl. A small boy in the cor
ner wiped his eyes on his hat. The en-
trance of half dozen additional specta-
tors, together with the thunder-like noise
of passing dray, a"ted to snap the link
of sadness, and His Honor forced smile
and told Bijah to reach in and grab the
first person he could get hold of.
His name was VIM. He admitted that
he could not bay door-knob if brick
houses were selling at q shilling apiece,
and he further owned up that he had sat
on the dock for hours and looked the
wolf of starvation in the face.
81 don't think this world has any fur
thur use for you," remarked His Honor,
after taking long look at the prisoner,
Il see you havn't got any get-up-and-
vote-twice in your nature, and your
character has been allowed to tumble
around until you feel like an old omni-
bus horse"
Don't abuse me-" replied the prison
er, in mournful voice.
"But it annoys me to see a big, fat
hulk of loafer idling away his life and
chewing apple-rinds to keep from star
vation. I'd get under a pile-driver, go
to sleep on a railroad track, or walk off
the wharf before I'd drag out such life.
However, it's no use talking to you.
Consider yourself elevated for three
months, and when that's out come back

ORIGIN OF WESTERN GRAssHoPPERs.-
/ have been much in crested in the pa
pers of Mr.. Dodge and others on this
subject. The origin of these pests is
still obscure, and happily it is likely to
remain so, as it is doubtful whether we
shall be visited by them again for num-
ber of years.
In conversing with resident of Mon
tana, recently, he said that several years
ago he excavated the side Of a mountain
for stamp mill, which was placed upon
the solid ground, the loose earth lying in
front of it. The ensuing spring the
bank of earth had strange appearance.
On examination it was found filled with
grasshoppers' eggs, then Deing hatched
out. Of course they left when fully
aedged, and nothing more was seen of
them in that locality.
AS no sign of grasshoppers could be
previously seen, whence could these
eggs have come? only tell the story as
it was told to me. If true, it is, as Dun
dreary says, one of those mysteries that
no fellow can find QUIT. of Iowa." in

FREAKS OF A DRUNKEN NEGRo.-A
colored man in Baltimore, while under
the influence of liquor few days since,
climbed out upon his roof and amused
himself by jumping thence to the roof
of the adjoining house, and thence to the
next, till his antics had attracted quite a
crowd of persons in the street below.
Seized with a sudden idea that the spec
tators were going to shoot him he sought
refuge in chimney, and slid down to
within few feet of the first floor, where
he became wedged in beyond the power
of extrication. At about the same mo-
ment the inhabitants of that story, una
ware that the draught was choked by a
human body, lighted a fire. The un-
earthly noise which proceeded from the
chimney was attributed to some agency
similar to that which recently caused the
mysterious bell ringing in the same city;
and it was not till two police officers en-
tered the room and made an attack upou
the fireplace that the scorched inebriate
was rescued from his perilous position.

FORESTRY AND DEFoREsTING IN CEYToN.
"A writer in the Ceylon Observer, from
facts in the official report on the forest
department of the Madras presidency,
concludes that the rainfall would be
equally abundant on the tops Of the noun
tains, 1000 to 5000 feet. high, if there were
no trees higher than coffee, tea, or Gin
chona shrubs. He states further that all
observation and experience in Ceylon
tends to prove that the substitution Of
coffee bushes feet, for forest trees 40 or
30 feet high, on eievated lands, will not
be followed by a diml milton of rainfall
in the slightest degree. Those who clear
away every tree from their land infict
great injury on their own interests and
those Of the country, not because they
diminish the rainfall, but because from
such lands the rains run off more rapidly,
the moisture issooner dissipated from the
surface, and there is no vegetable deposit
from leaves and decayed wood for enrich
ing lower lands.
