General Sherman, who under
stands the geographical advantages
of Russia aud Turkey aud their ar :
mements as well as, and perhaps
better, than any man in America,
expresses the opinion that the
threateDed conflict will be one of
the bioodiest in the history of the
word, and will extend beyond the
two great powers that begin the
work until all Europe is more or
less involved. He thinks Russia
will whip Turkey if let alone, while
Admiarl Porter says that Turkey
can hold her own without aid. He
agrees with Sherman, however, that
Europe generally will become in
volved, and that the result tar as
the United States is concerned +,
will be very beneficial to our pro-
duciDg. manufacturing and com.
merciaI interests.

AS Kansas grasshoppers LaYe no
doubt been affected by the weather
the same as in Nebraska, this will
apply to both States:
A gentleman in Nebraska has
since last Dece mber been expert
menting with grasshepper eggs. In
Decem Der every egg Matched under
q certain and uniform heat, in six
weeks. In January about one-half
the eggs Matched in three weeks.
In February q less number. In
March not over one-tenth Matched,
and they were eight days doing it..
At the last experiment, which we
conclude must have been about the
first inst, about one in twenty eggs
Matched. They were all taken from
the same piece of ground. His
theory is that at first all the eggs
were capable of producing q hop
per, but successive cold and wet
weather, freezing and thawing, etc.,
has destroyed nineteen twentieths
of them.-Commonwealth.
