New Artesian Well at Charleston, s. C,

A new ~artesian we'll is in progress
and has now reached the depth of near
~ three hundred feet. The drills are
still digging their way through the
eocene mari of the Ashley River beds,
and at depth of two hundred and sixty
feet q stratum of silicious rock, about
three feet in thickness, was struck and
passed through without much difficulty.
In this stratum are found millions Of
little microscopic shells, which are al
most invisible to the naked eye, but up
on being viewed through a magnifying
glass are clearly seen as beautiful nau-
.tilns-shaped shells, perfect in form ton
and color. The work is creating much
interest, and numbers Of scientific gen.
tfemen visit the well every day for the
purpose of inspecting the fossils. Sci

Pref. Huxley's Address to the Ameri-

BUFFALO, Aug. 25.-Prof. 4, Huxley
arrived here last night, and attended
the meeting, of the American Associa-

by the President, Prof. Rogers, in q few
fitting remarks of welcome. The au-

Prof. Huxley replied substantially as
follows:
Permit me in the first place to offer
you my most hearty thanks for this,

1 Successful Device for Destroying
2sa -Grasshoppers. -

We'll, the grasshoppers have almost
disappeared, and the crops as q whole
has suffered but little. They have de-
posted their eggs here, but no farmer
need be afraid Of these if he is willing
to work. There is not man in this
country who can not clean out every
hopper off his place in the spring, be-
fore they do dollars worth of damage,
If they will only go to work and do it,
instead Of sitting down and whining
about it.. Two farmers north Of Avoca,
Mr.. Priester and Mr.. Fritz Hull, saved
eighty acres Of barley this year by kill
ing about twenty-five bushels of grass
hoppers. They each of them got pan
sixteen feet long by about three feet
wide, put wheels on it and about one
inch OF coal tar in it, hitched their
horses behind it, and pushed it across
the field, the same as header. The
hoppers, not yet having wings, jumped
straight up for the pant pass under
them, and dropped back into it, stuck,
and were killed by the tar. The total
cost Of saving the grain was about $8
each, and it would have been less than
that had their neighbors done as they
did. You can save your crop and ami
hilate this pest in the same way if you

Turkey is the only empire in the
world where q council Of Ministers ap-
pointed by the sovereign, could seize
and handle the reins Of power and
change the sovereign at their pleasure.
Three months ago the Turkish Ministry
dethroned the Sultan, Abdul Aziz, who
thereupon committed suicide. They
put in his place, not his son whom he
had prepared for it, but the nephew,
who, according to Turkish law, was
legitimate heir to the throne. But now
the Ministry, finding Murad unsuitable
for their purposes, have in turn de-
throned him, on the ostensible plea
that he is afflicted with a "cruel dis
ease," which, we should suppose,
would now speedily terminate his life.
They have appointed in his stead his
brother, Abdul Hamid, who win
doubtless '.wear the sword" Just as
long as he subserves the ends which
the Ministry have in view. The Turkish
empire is in perilous condition. It is
in peril of trouble with the great pow
ers, and in peril from its Internal con-
WILSON'S; but the able and bold men
who constitute the present Divan are
evidently determined to conserve its
safety at the expense of any amount of
war and any number of Sultans. ss
The reinforcement of Murad was con-
.summated yesterday, as that Of Abdul
Aziz was in May last, in strict conform
ity with the provisions of Turkish law.
In both cases the formal deposition was
the work of the Grand Multi, who is
head of the Mohammedan religion, and
who is empowered to act in such cases.
The new occupant of the throne is the
second son of the former Sultan, Abdul
Medjid, and is thirty-four years old.
There have lately been stories of his in
sanity, but he would certainly not have
been called to the throne if these stories
were correct. From the accounts we
have of him we should think him to
be q man of the same character
and tastes as his uncle, the suicide
of last May. Like Abdul Akiz, he is an
exceedingly pious Mohammedan; like
him, he is fond of collecting strange
beasts, birds, and snakes; like him, he
is voluptuary; like him, he has rather
friendly feeling toward the Giaours.
We should suppose that, unlike him, he
would refrain from making any attempt
to exercise the power which he NOM
inally possesses. He must have learned,
by the events Of the past few months,
that it would be dangerous for him to
interfere inr any way with the present
Ministry, and that it would be safest to
obey implicitly their behests in matters
of State. It he has learned these les
sons, and knows how to heed them, he
may remain Sultan for an indefinite
period.-NesD York Sun.

Oy persons quite as Respectable as those
who occupy boxes. Our butchers COM
plain that there are no customers who
wish to buy inferior cuts of meat.
They arc looking for breed of cattle
that furnish nothing but sirloin steaks
and choice roasting pieces. As a rule,
our bakeries furnish but one grade of
bread, while similar establishments in
great European cities furnish half a
dozen kinds, suited to the means of diff
ferent classes of customers. .yy~yyvs. ss=e
1t is foolish to talk of the expensive
ness of food when flour can be obtained
for 50 per Barrel, potatoes for S1.25,
fish for $3.50; when beans sell for so
cents per bushei, butter for 20 cents
per pound, rico for g. cents, cheese for
g, and sugar for 10. The truth is, more
than half the expense for food comes
from little Injuries !. that are OF
hardly any value in sustaining life.
In foreign countries this expense is
saved altogether, or only INDUCED in
on particular occasions. We live in
the greatest corn-growing section of
the world, though the grain is scarcely
used at all as an article of food. We
are side of q lake full of excellent fish,
which are rarely eaten by our people.
The prairies are full Of hogs, only the
hams of which are eaten here, though
the inferior portions of the animals are
regarded as excellent food across the
water. In truth, we find little use for
any part of spring lambs except the
headquarters. People who are above eat
ing the meats furnished by our domes-
tic animals, the flour and meal furnish
ed by our ordinary wheat and corn, and
the cured fish taken from our lake, are
not in situation to complain of the ex-
pense Of sufficient supply of food.
As to materials for clothing, they
were rarely ever so cheap as now, if we
except the one article of leather.
Prints can be bought for from 6 to
cents per yard, cambrics for 6, cents,
ginghams 10, delaines 16 cents. The
trouble is, the making of the dress costs
three or four times as much as the ma
terial, and that dress making has passed
into the hands of professionals. The
sewing-machine that was to remove a
great portion of the burdens of WON
ans existence has added to them by
creating a demand for ruffles and
f1ounces that were almost unknown on
ly a few years ago. The cause of the
present trouble about getting a living
is to be found in every mans house.

can live cheaply and dress comfortably
for a very small sum of money if they
will only set themselves about it. The

The cause of hard times is the subfee4
selected BY most of the speakers at po-
litical meetings the present season.
They generally tell their hearers that
the difficulty in getting living arises
either from excessive taxation caused
by dishonest officials, or on account of
. currency too much or too little in
fiated. The remedy for existing evils,
they say, is only to be found in the bal
lot-box. People are always very willing
to look at distance for the cause of the
troubles that afflict them, and are rare
" willing to acknowledge that they are
themselves to blame. The fact must be
acknowledged by all who will investi-
gate the matter that the cost Of living
in this country was hardly ever less than
at the present time. People can live
very cheaply il they wish to, but they
are not 80 inclined. They acquired very
extravaganza notions about living during
the flush times of the War, which they
are unwilling to give up. Instead of
adapting themselves to the changed
condition Of affairs, they grumble about
the hard times and the exceeding diff
Guilty of gaining livelihood. By a
livelihood they mean living as persons
OF large means do, or as they themselves
lived during short season of unnatural
financial prosperity. Decent living
means porterhouse and sirloins, Chi k
ems, game, and most of the articles that
are classed as Injuries in other coun-
tries, and which, were SO regarded by
themselves fifteen or twenty years ago.
Respectable clothing embraces silk hats,
satin bonnets. garments made of silk
and broadcloth, French calf and patent
leather boots and shoes. It also includes
kid gloves, laces, and ornaments of va
rious kinds and descriptions Every
man is expected to carry gold watch,
and every woman to wear several pieces
of jewelry.
