 General Crooks Movements.
 CHICAGO, August 2.-Couriers from Gen. Crooks command are expected daily. No news of any very important movement is au' thenticated at tlast advices. Crook was simply making a change of camp on account of scarcity of for age. Contemplated movements are kept with great secrecy. Sherman admits that the Indian problem grows in difficulties daily. He is now ordering to the field every available soldier that can be spared from the South west.

 NEW YORK, July 3l.-The Times Washington special says the House Committee on bank ing and currency meets to-mor- row, but it is certain no de- finite action will be taken on the bill for repeating the re- sumption act. It is asserted with good authority that a letter has been received from MT. Tilden or some one speaking for him, in which @ request is based upon an understanding had at Saratoga between Tilden and Hendricks, that it is considered as settled that there will be no more agi- tation of tn is question dur ing the Presidential canvass.

Reported Defeat of Gen. Crook and
 Loss of 300 Men--FTOre Cavalry
 Ordered to the Seat of War.
 The Globe Democrat has a spe. cial from Leavenworth, giving what seems to be an exaggerated account of Crooks battle with the Sioux on Goose Creek. Dispatches say a letter from the post sutler at Camp Sheridan arrived at Sandy to-day, and reports the arrival at Camp Sheridan last Wednesday of Lame Deer, friendly Indian, who brings information that Gen. Crook suffered terrible defeat at the hands of the Sioux on Goose Creek, but details of the battle are not given. 4 scout states that Crook lost nearly three hundred soldiers, who were driven across the creek under a terrible fire from the Indians. The fight was more of slaughter than @ battle. It is further stated that the Indians are greatly elated over their vic tory and intend after driving the miners out of the Black Hills to clean out all the Americans in the northern Territories and all the stations along the Pacific railroad. The dispatch is so dated that it cannot be stated whether this is an account of another battle or one ofrecent date. Therefore it is given for what it is worth. All the Cavalry now on duty in South . ern Kansas and Indian Territory have been ordered to join the commands of General Terry and Crook.

It is conceded that Gibson and others. opponents of the pending silver bill, have gained Democra- tic strength since last week, and that there are grounds for post ponement of this subject until next session, and they will probably hold the position now taken by Cox.

MIR. IOODY,S INCOME.

When asked-as they often very nat
urally are asked-how do Messrs. Moody
and Sankey manage to live? who pays
their washing bills? and whence come
their means of subsistence? the execu-
tive committee reply as follows: Mr..
Moody is constantly receiving from
friends in this country and from friends
in Europe, from men and women living
in almost every locality that he has ever
visited, voluntary gifts of money
thank offerings, SC to speak-for the
good which these persons believe that
Mr.. Moody has done them, expressions
of their affection and gratitude. 1t is
not known how much money Mr.. Moody
has obtained from this prolific source.
1t is not known even that Mr.. Moody
has kept an account of it himself.
Sometimes he has been known to return
to the donor the amount of the contri-
button, because the manner or the meas
ure of the gift did not please him. But
such known instances are few Mr..
Moody alone-if indeed he is able can
tell the financial gain that this revival
and his other revivals have brought to
him. The secret just now is his own.
But tho opinion is freely expressed-not
by the executive committee, but bv
other gentlemen-that during the last
year Mr.. Moody's income has not been
less than the least of the incomes OF
other metropolitan preachers

WILT WHITMAN.

The man is capable OF poetry, and al
ways ought to have written it. The best
that he has done has been to set down,
in the toughest condition, the raw mate
rAl. Other men have done the same
thing better, and never dreamed that
they were writing "songs." Even a
"chant has to be rhythmically sung, or
it can not be sung at all. The materials
in butchers stall and green grocer's
shop contain the possibilities and poten-
poetry in them until they are cooked and
served to men and women dressed be-
comingly, and come and so upon the
table in rhythmical courses, yielding
finest nutriment and goodliest flavors.
There is no melody without rhythm, and
a song must be melodious. Emerson
says that " meter begins with pulse-beat, y
and quotes Victor Hugo as saying: d" An
idea stepped in verse becomes suddenly
more incisive and more brilliant; the
iron becomes steel" Here is distinc-
ton, certainly, between prose and verse.
He quotes, too, one who says that Lord
Bacon "loved not to see poesy go on
other feet than poetical dactyls and spon-
decs;" while Ben Johnson said "that
Dome, for not keeping of accent, de-
served hanging" If he had only quoted
these sayings to Walt Whitman in that
letter, should we not all have been richer
by the sum of Il poet DR.. j. q. Holland

Perhaps one of the most significant
facts concerning the women of the Bible,
is that they were not debarred from the
prophetic office. "Women as well As
men were seized with the gift says
Stanley, and he instances " Miriam, Deb
orah, Huldah, Anna, and the four daugh-
tiers of Philip" Miriam seems to have
been inspired by the first breath of free
dom which she drew upon the shores of
the Red sea, whilst Deborah burst forth
in her jubilant song after the victory
had been gained over the oppressors of
her people. We read also of prophet
esses at later date. Huldah, who lived
within the college of Jerusalem, and to
whom King Hilkiah and the high priest
himself repaired when they sought coun-
sci upon weighty matters. There is
mention made also in the Old Testament
of false prophetesses as well as false
prophets; for Ezekiel, in denouncing the
false prophets who deceived the people
by lying words, says: "Thou son of man,
set thy face against the daughters of
The Canton mail. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 18??-1882, 1876-05-13

thy people, which prophesy out of their
own heart " Ezekiel, xiii. ~. Another
popularity of the women of the Bible
is, that neither prophetesses, teachers,
nor heroines were severed from the ordi-
nary domestic ties of life. Deborah was
the wife of Lapedoth; Judith was the
widow of Manassas, whom she had
mourned for three years; Hannah was
the devoted mother of Samuel; Ruth,
the loving daughter-in-law of Naomi;
and the Maccabean woman is only known
as the mother of seven sons Monkish
celibacy, with its train of attendant evils,
never-except partially among the Es-
senes-had any place in the ethics of
Judaism. Numbcrless are the traits of
tender domestic affection to be found,
like wild flowers in the wilderness, mex
pressibly cheering in the midst of those
sandy wastes, which we come across in
some of the historical books of the Old
Testament. Who does not recall that
exquisite little touch of pathos relating
how Isaac refused to be comforted after
his mothers death, till the young wife
Rebekah comes to live in that mothers
tent? What can surpass among other
Greek and Roman idyls the story of
Jacob and Rachel?

GRAssHopPEn rHos.4nI1rr1Es.

"Will the grasshopper come again this
year? ?" is the important question asked
again and again this spring, by the farm
ers of the great west and northwest. An
examination of the fields devastated by
these pests last season and the season be-
fore, will enable the investigator to an
swer the question with tolerable accu-
racy.
1t appears that in Minnesota and adj
Joining regions there were some eggs laid
by the passing locusts last year. If the
winter has not killed them-and it prob
ably has not-these must hatch out with
the coming of warm weather, and the in
sects from them may be expected to fly
away with the assumption Of their wings,
and alight to fill their greedy maws al
most anywhere in the west.
In Nebraska and Kansas there were no
locust eggs laid last season, SO far as can
be ascertained. This is an important dis
covery, and would indicate the probable
ity of year of comparative immunity
from the plague in that hitherto devas-
tated region.
In Colorado, however, the prospect is
not as fattering. The Colorado Farmer
publishes letter from leading grain
raiser at Boulder, in that territory, which
says: "The eggs are in the ground, and
we can rest content that in due time we
will have a struggle on our hands that
will require all the energy of both brain
and muscle we may possess.
Such is the fear of these embryo de-
stroyers out there that the Coloradans
are preparing to put in practice all
methods used for annihilating the pests
as soon as they shall begin to wiggle into
life. Water, coal oil, tar, fire bitches
and fre-machines will be employed to
this end, experience having proved that
the plague can be averted, or at least
greatly abated, if fought persistently by
these means.
Viewed generally, there is reason to be
hopeful, as regards the grasshoppers, that
the western husbandman will receive no
serious damage this year. But the advent
of summer and autumn alone will prove
just how wisely these probabilities
have been arrived at.

found her in my room, vainly search
ing for the ornament l had fast in m,
pocket, but my face caused her to paus
in the task.
"What good news does Stephen brin.
that makes my little girl 50 radiant? p
she asked.
I put my arms about her, and holding
her fast, 1 said, almost sobbing in my
eagerness:
Marjorie, since the day you lifted mt
from my poverty and suffering to uttel
happiness, have never ceased to pray
| that at some time 1 might be permitted
to bring some brightness to you.'
"Dear child, every hour you are with
me answers your prayers" she said, low
ingiy.
"But never hoped" said, "that ]
could bring you such glad tidings as
have now"
"To mel" she cried, her sweet face
growing pale.
"Of Arnold Halcombe," said, softly
"of his true, unchanging love for you
of his faithful devotion to the one deep
affection of his life; of-Marjorie, Mar
ljorie, of his presence here to-day to tell
you this himself!"
was sobbing by this time in excited
10y. But Marjorie, only little paler,
her eyes slowly irradiating with glorious
light, said:
"Here? Arnold here ?'
In the library, waiting for you,"
answered, suddenly releasing her, plung-
ing down stairs, rushing in upon patient
Stephen in the drawing-room, and exc
cutting a pas seul for his benefit that
certainly would have admitted me to any
lunatic asylum in the country. Then
pulled him down, and, in whispers, told
him about it, laughing and crying, till
he declared would wind up with fit

But l didn't. I was az proper and
prettily behaved as possible when Mar
jorie came in. leaning upon Arnold Hal
combe's arm, with every lurking shadow
chased from her face by the gentle hap
piness there, while he, erect and proud,
looked as man does who gains the SUI
preme desire of his heart after years of
waiting.
If ever true, fervent Thanksgiving as
cended from a grateful, happy heart, 1
am sure it rose from Marjorie's on that
November day when Arnold came to her.
We had a double wedding in January,
and Stephen carried me to his London
home; but we make frequent holidays to
the lovely home where Marjorie gives us
cordial welcome, and where. am sure,
she has the desolation 1 dreaded to leave
all swept away in the happiness of her
husbands presence and devoted love.
