Dr. MAuRIs recommends placing in the open
windows Of inyalids canvas well wetted As Is
known, water, in passing from a liquid to a CASE
GUS state, absorbs caoric. That chemical process
will lower in a few minutes the temperature of a
room by five or six degrees, and the humidity dis
tributed in the air makes the heat more support
able. by that system the patients find them
selves even in the height OF summer, in an at
mosphere refreshed, analogous to that which pre-
walls after storm.

Tuf rHRp TEEM.-One Of the most fool
ish of all criticisms is that which, because
the President says 81 do not want third
term any more than I did the first" repre-
scnts this as conclusive proof that he wants
a third term. The President declaration as
to his purpose is clear aud emphatic. lie is
not a candidate, and will not allow his name
to 20 before the convention. What he says
in the expression we have quoted is simply
an enforcement OF his personal wishes. 1t
is true that he did not want even the first
term. The New York Nal, referring to
this point, says " If it were necessary, we
could mention the names Of at least half a
dozen prominent citizens of this city, who
found by actual trial the -trcngth and reality
Of his rspucuauce TO an abandonment of the
life Office that was the appropriate reward Of
his military services" fIo didn't want to
be President: he doesn't want third term
any more than he wanted the first which
was not at all and, unlike that case he en-
braces an early opportunity to take hisname
unmi stakably out of the way

determination Of The Iocnsts.

We are happy 70 learn from Western eS-
changes that the prospects are now fair for
the prevention Of any such serious damages
to crops as occurred TASTY year Then farmers
were literally helpless in arresting the calam-
ity. since the insects we're grown to full size
when they frst made thoir appearance, came
in immense swarms, and devoured every va
r.oty Of growing crops. But atpresent There
is time while they are maturing to destroy
them. aud The most is being made OF that
time. Ingenuity has not been wanting for
deyising methods for The destruction Of these
voracious posts As thair Matching grounds
aro confined 10 small tracts, no efforts to kill
them before they ar, large enough to fy are
neglected Many device. for the accomplish
mout Of this result are rcsoucd TO, all Of
which are successful u greater or less de-
gree Sometimes they are crushed under a
large roller, drawn by horses but this is only
efiectual where the earth is thoroughly hard
ened. Another plan is TO dig ditch drive
them into it, and bury them,
In localities bounding the praires, they
are driven out into the dead grass, which is
fired, and they are thus burned. One Kan
sas farmer prefers the use Of a canvass trap,
invented 10y himself upon the plan Of o fsh
net, which be drags over a field, and which
gathers them ia like miunows. The lenc-
ing process however. Is thought to be the
most certain This consists in closing a
tract occupied by Young hoppors with boards,
placed edgewise and rising six or eight
inches above the surface, thus securely i'm
prisouiug the hedgling rayagers, and holding
them there until they starve to death. Al
these combined methods are operating to ef
fectually destroy so many of these yoraciou'
ravagers that in all probability there will be
no repetition Of last years disaster. Tn,
farmers Of the West are not inclined to FOLD
their hands in idleness when once way has
been pointed out whereby they can prevent
the destruction of their crops and between
burning, starving and crushing, the grass
hoppcrs will be allowed no chance to grow
large enough to commit any considcrabl,
amount of depreciation upon grain or corr
fields, or growing vegetables

BROOKLYN, Jan. 21.-A case of great
interest and mystery has appeared In
the Brooklyn Supreme Court. Henry
Shields. an opulent Hour merchant OF
New FORK, died March 10Th, 1874,
leaving a large estate, the greater part
Of which was devised to his children,
without mentioning them by name. -
The win was duly admitted to probate
Soon afterward lady residing In the
Eastern District, and calling herself
Jane Shields, began an action against
the executors OF Henry Shields for
dover, representing herself a. the WI
dow of the deceased fiour merchant. -
The facts of the case have been so far
carefully kept secret by counsel on
each side, and only a very faint out
lipe OF the interesting story can be OBJ
tained.
Itappears that between thirty and for
ty years age, ,as alleged by Jane Shields,
tile plaintiff In the suit referred TO, she
was married to Henry Shields who was
then in comparatively poor circum-
stances. She had five children by him
some of whom are dead. About TWEEN
ty-six years ago, when Mr.. Shields
circumstances had considerably i'm
proved be began toabsent himself from
his family who resided in Brooklyn.
He returned to them only at long In
tefvals, but what excuse he gave for
his absence has not been yet revealed
He continued however, TO support his
wife and family, and did 50, 1t Is be-
lieved, until his death, or shortly be-
fofe After his demise, Mrs. Jane
Shields ascertained that he had left q
lady in New Y York, calling herself Mrs.
Shields and claiming to be his wife,
and that she and nine children borne
by. her TO Mr.. Shields had, inherited a
vast estate under his will.
1t Is alleged that twenty six years
ago, at the time when Mr. Shields be-
gan to absent himself from his Brook
lyn family,he married the lady now
inheriting as his widow He established
himself in an elegant residencein New
York, and the lady with whom he was
living asknown as his wife. The nine
children before mentioned were born,
and their education was conducted in
the most expensive manner. They
are said to be very highly accomplish.
ed and physically perfect. 1t is stated
that Jane Shields the plaintiff in the
suit for dover, has 1t in her power to
establish her claim to be the widow OF
Henry Shields, and that she can salts
factorily explain her quietly submit
ting to her husbands prolonged alb.
senee from home, and other circum.
stances which at present appear to
throw doubt ON her allegations.
The matter was before Justice Tap
pen to-day, on motion.
