SOMETHING ABOUT NEWSPAPERS.

That the Americans are a reading peo-
pie is manifest by the statistics Of the
newspaper press of the country, as given
in the Newspaper Directory for 1877,
just issued by S. NJ. Pettingill & Co., the
we'll known advertising agents of New

cal, etc. and names of publishers of no

semi-weeklies. 6.6O6 weeklies, 122 semi
monthlies, I'll monthlies, Is bi-monthlies
and 80 quarterlies, published in the
United States and the British American
Provinces. The directory shows the
number of each of these editions which
are published in each State, Territory or
Province.
The book contains 376 pages, and en-
braces an immense amount of valuable
information, showing great labor and
care in its collection and preparation.
1t gives all necessary facts for an adver'
tiser to know about 1914 separate pub
locations, while it is also interesting and
valuable for the general reader. the stu.
dent of American periodical literature,
and the observer Of American institu-
tions. The book is sold at the low price
of $1.00 per copy.

atient is rarely able to lie on the left
de; sometimes the pain is felt under
nc Shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
ends to the top of the shoulder, and is
umetimes mistaken for rheumatism in
ne arm. The stomach is affected with
loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-

pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with a painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A 81 ut, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains Of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred wherefew ofthem existed,

has shown the LIVER to have been ex-

The DICTIONARY As AN INSTRUCTOR.

We notice as matter we'll worth men,
tioning, that at the recent great publish
ers' trade sale in New York, the books
that were most in demand and brought
the best prices were Webster's Diction-
aries, from the famous quarto to the neat
and handy pocket edition. This fact is
q good indication of the almost univer-
sal popularity of these books, and of the
growing public demand for them. It in
dicates also fact of far greater import
ance, and that is the interest the people
are taking in the study of their own Ian
gusge. This is encouraging, as no other
branch of education is now and has been
so much neglected as the common
branches of spelling and defining. It is
often astonishing and grievous to see
how grossly ignorant are children and
even men and women, of the orthogra>
ply, pronunciation and meaning of ordi.
nary words and phrases. They cannot
express their thoughts for the want of
words, and often they express thoughts
very different from what they intend, be-
cause they do not understand the words
they employ. And very frequently,
from the same cause, they take no idea,
or wrong ideas, from what they read or
hear.
The remedy for these evils is the proper
training in the study of words, by the
use of the Dictionary, and this training
should begin as soon as the child can dis
tinguish one word from another, and con-
tinue indefinitely. The apparatus for
this study should, of course, be the most
complete and thorough to be had, and
this is abundantly supplied in Webster's
Dictionaries, which are justly recognized
wherever our language is spoken, as the
standard authority in English. Parents
and teachers can in no other way 30 effect
ually or 80 cheaply promote the educs-
tional interests of their children, when
they are of suitable age, as by putting
in their hands some one of Webster's
School Dictionaries, for their daily use
in connection with the study of their
lessons, and by placing ON the family
center table, or the teachers desk as the
authoritative guide and standard, q copy
of the Unabridged.
The unabridged contains 5000 illus
trations, over Ia, 900 words in its vocab-
ularies, and 10000 words and meanings
not in any other Dictionary; the abridg-
ed editions comprise "The Primary"
which has the largest sale, and which
has some capital rules for spelling. "The
Common School, is similar, but larger,
with tables of synonyms, &c. "The
High School," still fuller, with many
useful tables; "The Academic" and
Counting house" for advanced schools
and for general house and business use.
The latter has some specially valuable
commercial and financial tables. The
little "Pocket" edition, with its bright
gilt edges and morocco binding, is truly
invaluable. It contains more than
$1,000 words, rules for spelling, many

THE GRAssHoPPER PROBLEM.

We notice in our State exchanges a
good deal of speculation in regard to the
grasshopper question. We have, hereto
fore, said little or nothing on the subject
for the reason that the reports were con-
ficting, and we did not wish to create
any unnecessary alarm. Besides, in this
county and in those adjoining, no dam
age has yet been done that we can hear
Of, and the farmers generally do not an.
ticipate any serious injury this year from
the red-legged pests. They have been
Matching out more or less in this vicin.
ity since the LIST of April, and do not
now appear to be any more numerous
than they were two weeks ago.
Later reports in our exchanges, how.
ever, show that there is now some reason
for believing that damage to crops may be
apprehended from the locusts this sum-
mer, and in many counties the people are
organizing, and preparing for vigorous
war on them. We give below couple Of
extracts which will explain themselves:
Professor Riley, of the United States
grasshopper commission, has returned
from Texas. In Southern and Central
Texas the hoppers have begun to rise,
going north in immense numbers. In
Northern Texas they are all Matched out,
and in various stages, doing damage in
spots, but not over the whole country.
A month ago there was the same talk
which for the last ten days has been pre-
vailing in Kansas, that the eggs were
spoiled, those Matched were dead, and
there would be no damage to crops, but
they have Matched out, and are doing in
Jury. Professor Riley has examined
eggs at Fort Scott. Parsons, Manhattan,
Topeka and some other localities. He
says enough have vitality that will hatch
and do great injury. He urges people to
prepare for fighting them, and believes
that if this is done systematically, the
injury will not be great, while he has
hopes that the weather may be such as
to cause but little injury, as in 1867, yet
there may be the same injury as in 1875,
unless measures are properly taken to
destroy them.-Special dispatch to Topeka
Commonwealth.
If other localities are like this one, and
from what we learned we believe many
of them are, either the farmers have got
to fight or they have got to lose their
crops. There is false confidence re-
spscting the threatened danger. The
general sentiment is that very little
damage will be done, but when you ask
gentlemen why they think 90 they re-
ply. 'teggs spoiled" "frosts," Gao much
rain" newspapers" "luck."
Now, the facts are that in this neigh
borhood quite two-thirds of the eggs are
good: that every warm day matches out
droves of 'hoppers; that those already
out are sufficiently numerous to eat up
the crops before flying; that five-sixths
of the sound eggs are yet to hatch and
all this in spite of the "cold," ''rains,"
parasites" "preeedents," and general
sentiment" Luck is good thing, but
pluck is better; and if this part of the
State is going to rely on the former with
out exercising the latter, our belief is
that it win lose all its crops except corn.
and this also, unless We have unusual
summer rains-lnd1strialist, Manhattan.
