THE REVOLUTION IN MEXICO

The chronic affection of our neigh
boring Republic appears to have
broken out in more aggravated
form than usual, and the Bandit
gentry and their Greascrs seem to
have been gathering strength during
the short CAIN which preceded the
storm. The turbulent element o.
that unfortunate country seems to
have taken advantage of the compare
lively peaceful administration of Pres
ident Lerdo to muster their forces for
the present insurrection, which has
assumed more formidable proportions
than any of those outbreaks, of which
The country is so prolific, that have
disturbed the peace Of Mexico for
many years. Diaz has taken posses
sion of several States, among which
may he reckoncd the State of Tamau-
lipas since the fall of Matamorss,
while it is said be commands the
powerful influence of the Catholic
Church, which is dissatisfied with
the liberal views of Lerdo in permit.
ting religious liberty. @ s'y
OF course the principal object Of the
leaders in these instructions and their
military followers is to plumber the
citizens, but they nevertheless threaten
the overthrow Of the Government.

A means Of utilizing these insects, the destruc-
ttvc effects Of which described in the Times Of
Wednesday, has been devised by d French physi-
clan, Dr.. MorTan, OF Douarnez, Finistcrre, and
consists in preparing them in different ways "a bait
for fish. In America, where swarms Of grasshop-
tracts OF country, traps have been devised for
catching these insects; but, except in q few In
Stances where they have been used for manure,
they hnvc not been made to serve any nacful pur-
pose. DR., Morran dries tho locusts in the sun
presses them into barrels, and subsequently
smashes them into paste, which ia made into
small balls and thrown into the sea during fishing
before making them into paste. This bait is OF
an oily nature and is said to be eagerly dcvoured
by the sardine Or pilchard. Large quantities Of
codfa roc IRE used on the coasts OF Brittany
in the prosecution OF this fishery, but the
increasing high price Of this bait has lately
been serious addition to the expenses Of
the fishermen, who haye eagerly availed them
ally used in the English pilcha7d sardne fishery,
different modes Of fishing being adopted by those
employed in France, but in those Instances where
codfs roe has been tried it has been found to at-
tract large numbers Of fish,. The increased de-
mnnd for pi!chards which the operations Of the
Cornish Sardinc Company Of Falmouth arc likely
to create, for the purpose Of preserving sh il OIL
will probably lead to the more extended use Of
bait, and locusts or grasshoppers will no doubt
come into rcquisition In Cornwall, rs we'll as in
France. The experiments OF Dr. Morynn were
considered so important by the French Govcrn-
ncnt that 100 barrels OF locasts we're supplied By
to Brittany to be tried larger scale ut the cost
OF the State. The results were satisfactory that
during the ensuing fishing the locust balt is
expected to be hugely used.
