The Northwestern papers are full of
accounts OF experiments with grasshop.

vitality of this pest. 1t seems pretty
we'll established that the grown locust will
resist any ordinary means OF destruction.
He revives after drowning and freezing,
and will eat his weight Of the common an.
imal poisons with impunity. Coal oil,
turpentine, alcohol and crotOn oil are fatal
to him. Some experimenters with the
eggs are Of opinion that the January thaw
destroyed them. Others say that those
taken from the open prairie, where they
had been subjected to the action Of the
sun and wind, were dead, hut that those
taken from under snow drifts would hatch
easily. Some Of the efforts to hatch them
may have failed because the natural con.
ditions Of their incubation were not com.
piled with; heat Of sixty.five to seventy
degrees for eight or ten days in moist
earth. Prof. Riley, the Missouri State
Entomologist, gives it his opinion that
certain counties in the western part OF

the counties OF AtchisOn, Holt, Nodaway,

a Circuit Court Decision in Favor
Of Hampton.

CHARLESTON, March 2O.-Judge Reed,
in the Circuit Court to-day, rendered n
verdict in the Flynn habeas corpus case
releasing Flynn on the ground that Cham.
berlain has no lawful authority as Gov
erner. The decision concludes as follows :
u am OF the opinion that Wade Hampton
was made Governor in and over the State
OF South Carolina through the bnlIot-box,
in accordance with the Constitution, at
the election held on the 7th of November
last; that he qualified (if not following the
letter. in the spirit and intent OF the Con.
Stitution on the the 18th OF December last;
that he has been since then and is now the
lawful Governor OF South Carolina, and
should be obeyed and respected. Accord.
ingly, it follows from these views that D.
II. Chamberlain was not Governor on
the Sd OF January, 1877, the date Of the
commission Of W. +. Dover as Trial
Justice for the City Of Charleston, and
that his appointment and commission
were without lawful authority and

More BaIdwins in the Field.

We observe that the Cleveland people
are being highly entertained and instruct.
ed at this time by exposures OF Spir-
itualism at the hand OF Mr.. W. Irving
Bishop, who ofiers to put up $1,000 that
he can duplicate any performance OF any
so.called Medium, under the same con.
ditions, after witnessing any manifesto.
tion three times. He has been perform

Cleveland, just as Professor Bald.
win did here, and inasmuch as some per.
son who had witnessed his exposures
ventured to say in public that there were
some things done by the Mediums" that
he could not do, he offers 10 forfeit to
charitable purposes the sum named in
case he fails to duplicate any one
spiritual manifestation.
This sort OF straightforward and prac.
tical way Of coming at spiritualism is u
mode Of dealing with it that everybody
can appreciate, and that tells powerfully
on public opinion against that delu-
sion. The mediums will be obliged,
in order TO maintain their hold
upon the credulity OF those who are
still inclined TO believe in them, to rise to
the demands of the occasion, as Aaron did
with the Egyptian magicians, and find
some performances that will swallow up
anything that such men as Baldwin and
Bishop can expose. It is now time for
Aaron's rod to come forth and assert its
superiority, for at present it is trick for
trick.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-Joseph l.
Lewis, Of Hoboken, N. j., died short
time ago, aged So years, bequeathing his
entire estate, valued at million dollars
TO the Government to help pay the Ma.
tional debt. Lewis lived in quiet re.
tirement in Gordon street, surrounded by
few servants, after he gave up business
% years ago. He was accredited a
bachelor by everybody that knew him,
and often declared that he had no rela.
tions in this country or England, his ma.
tive land. Yesterday, however, a richly
dressed woman appeared in the Surro-
gates office, claiming to be his wife, and
that she was married to Lewis one year
ago. Another woman, claiming TO be a
niece Of Lewis, has filed claim for the

there, and this without reference TO the

This wool growing region, and can be

ginia. The Wool counties, par excel.
lence, are Belmont, Harrison and JefIer.
son in Ohio; Hancock, Brooke, Ohio and
Marshall in West Virginia, and Wash
ingtou and Greene in Pennsylvania.
These nine counties alone can produce
say, 100000 pounds Of wool. supposing
that / 900, 900 pounds should be stored in a
large Warehouse here or at Steubenyille
il would establish an important market
for Eastern buyers. There ia no Ques-
tion but what it would tend 10 strengthen
the home market. In union there il al-
ways strength. By combining the weak
and the strong. wool growers into one or.
ganizatlon, they could, more certainly,
realize the maximum price Of the season
for their product, and the weaker grow
ers would not thus constitute, as they do
now, the material for an early raid on
prices, as they did, for instance, last
season.
But in order to control the wool mar.
ket in the interest of the growers, cen.
trail depot, such as is proposed, should
represent much larger constituency
than the nine counties named. Itshould,

mia. Then it would concentrate the
whole strength Of the market at some
given point, and would afford field for
a high order Of superintendent and
financial management. We doubt il
a small concern, purely local in
its character, can be made to
realize the expectations OF those who
are projecting this experiment. Still,
tall oaks from little acorns grow, and
inasmuch as it is not always possible to
do things on the most complete and best
paying scale to start with, perhaps it is
well enough to start this project in
modest way, and thus ascertain the like.

CHICAGO, March 2O.-A special to the
Tribune from ST. Paul says: In the mill.
tAry tribunal to-day, Judge Advocate
Barr summed up the evidence against
Major Reno. The specifications are as
follows:
!. That Reno being commander Of Fl.
Abercrombic, called at the quarters OF
Mrs. Bell while her husband was absent
in New York at the bedside OF his sick
father, and took improper liberties, at.
tempting to draw her to his person.
2. Being repelled he stepped outside,
but remained inside OF the storm door,
and when Mrs. Bell was passing out
some time after, caught her hand and re-
newed his attempts. This outrage she
reported to his vile.
3. Reno afterward threatened to make
il hot for her because she did not invite
him to a social gathering at her quarters,
and to drive her out.
4. That he cast reflections on her char
acter in speaking to the chaplain of the
garrison, and had insisted on his not
stopping at her place and holding reli-
gions services there.
Specifications 8 and G cover substan.
TALLY the same ground.
Z. Reno said to Lieut.. Wallace that
Mrs. Bell had better cease fighting him;
her character was vulnerable, aud he
could easily blast it.
s. Afterwards, he pHbliCly humiliated
Mrs. Bell, by giving orders that she
should not play the organ at service.
The prosecution called Mrs. Bell, Chap
lain Main Wright, Capt. Benton, Lieut..
Wallace and others, and clearly estab.
lished each specification. The defense
had little evidence accused, not being al
lowed to testify, nor to produce witnes.
ses against Mrs. Bells character.
Ex-Gov. Davis summed up for Reno
and was answered by Barr, after which
the case was taken under advisement
and verdict will be forwarded to army
headquarters. The general opinion is
that Reno will be found guilty and dis.
missed from tho anrvirn
