There are a few patriots in New
Orleans who argue that Constltu-
tional Convention would be disinte-
grating in its effects on the party
There is no telling the depth of the
anxiety of these people for the pub
lie safety. We will give them credit
for sincerity, and assure them that ne;
the better thinking portion OF the
community do not altogether share
their anxiety. They believe that a
party that has solemnly pledged It,
self to reform, and fails, is not to De
trusted again, and We agree with
them. But we respectfully submit
if there is anything disintegrat'ng IL
this, it will not come from the hold
inc of the Convention, but from a
failure to hold one. We assure those
persons, when the people say reform
they mean it, even though it may in
yolve a certain amount of decaplta
ton, and the reduction of a few over
o., own salaries. We feel sorry TO
these people but cannot give up tn
Convention.

ELEVEN MoLLIE MAGUIREs HANGED
Last Thursday eleven of the Mollie Ma
CURES of Pennsylvania expiated on the
gallows the crimes which have made the
name of that organization by-word and
reproach. Six at Pottsville, four at Mauch
Chunk and one at Wilkesbarre suffered
the most ignominious punishment known
10 the laws of civilized nations. Five years
ago the Mollle Maguires were the terror of
the coal regions. They formed brother
hood in which reckless men had gained the
control, and stopped at no crime to effect
their purposes aud avenge the real or fam
cled wrong suffered by any of the mem
bers. They detied the laws and resisted
their enforcement with bloodshed. They
planned murders in secret aud executed
them in broad daylight. So powerful and
dangerous were they popularity believed to
he that the people dared make no effort to
bring The perpetrators of crime to justice
and the officers OF the law scarcely made
the attempt. 1t has been said that they con-
trived 10 make themselves a political pow
er through their influence with the miners
and TO secure the conniVance of those high
in authority and in the councils of parties
at their atrocious deeds. At length they be-
came such a menace 10 the interests of cap
ilal aud to the community in general in the
coal regions, that they were no longer to be
endured. A detective was employed to go
among them and join the brotherhood, in
order to learn the secrets of their Infamous
doings and gather evidence of their crimes.
He lived with them for three years, becom-
ing an officer and trusted associate Of the
leaders in the organization. When his
work was completed, an account of the
Aollie Maguires and their bloody deeds
was published, and steps we're taken for the
arrest of large number who had been con-
cerned in conspicuous murders. Since then
the processes OF the law have been working
toward the fearful elimination, which was
reached on Thursday. The funerals Of the
criminals, which took place on Sunday,
we're made the occasion of great public
demonstrations on the part of their friends.

GEN. GRANT IN LoNDoN.-A special per-
formance at the Royal Italian Opera in
London was given in honor of Con. Grant
last Friday night. The house was filled.
Gen. Grant, Mrs. Grant, and Gen. Badeau
arrived at $50. The curtain Immediately
rose disclosing Mile. Albani aud the full
chorus of the company, behind whom was
group of American flags. Mile. Albani
sang the "Star Spangled Banner" with the
full chorus and orchestra. Gen. Graut, for
the first time since his arrival in England,
was dressed in the full uniform of major
general. The entire audience rose on the
generals entrance and remained standing
during the singing, as did also Gen. Grant
and wife. After the song was finished
Gen. Grant WAS loudly applauded and
bowed in response. The Daughter of the
Regiment" was then performed, with Mile.
Marimon in the principal role. Gen. Grant
was obliged to leave early to go TO the
Queens bali at Buckingham Palace. The
generals box was decorated with flowers
During the remainder OF his stay in Eng
land Gen. Grant will be the guest of Com
sui General Badeau, who was one of lis
staff duIing the war.

GENERAL GRANTS TRAVELs.-I had q
little conversation with General Grant, last
night, writes Mr.. Jennings from London,
and found him full of animation and de-
light at his visit. To be sure, General
Grant is never a very demonstrative man,
but he is not a cold-hearled one, and he is
much touched by the immense cordially
with which he is everywhere greeted,
whether by the poorest of the poor in
crowded streets, or by princes and mobiles
in "gilded Saloons" He did not expect
anything of the kind, and feels very
strongly that most of the compliments
paid to him are meant for his country. His
health has much improved since he left
Philadelphia-he looks better than have
seen him for some years past, and eccen-
trio As our climate Is, it seems to suit him
very well. He has laid down for himself
somewhat extended range Of travel, and
evidently proposes to make the best of his
holiday now that he has got one. He will
go from here TO France, and intends seeing
Sweden and Norway and India and Japan,
and, in fact, TO survey mankind from Chi
ma TO Peru. Perhaps, after all, he will not
be sorry to escape from the process of eli
ouizaton" which he Is now going through.
On that point he Is, of course, dlscreelly
relicent. lie goes through a reception of
two or three hours with his usual imper-
turbability, and the people here have taxi
en- fancy to his quiet manner aud serious
face. Altogether, am bound to tell you
that he Is a great success.

The Seventeen Year Locust..

These insects, which are, in reality, in
no sense locust or hopper, but a fly, ei-
cddd Septendesinl, have made their appear
ance, this year, in great numbers, on Stat
en- Island and in the rural districts of New
Jersey, and the sound of their wbirring,
which constantly fills the air. is described
as being something like the musical cry of
frogs, but still nearer TO the sound of innu-
merabe tree toads. In size they are about
an inch long, with large transparent wings
dellcately vened, and spreading some
three inches. 1t is said that they do not
eat anything, the male being without di-
gestive organs. In June they come out of
the ground under the trees; in some cases
in great numbers; soon al(er shed q thin
transparent shell, gain their wings and
crawl towards the nearest tree, which they
climb, going to the smaller limbs and twigs.
They soon become able to fly and swoop
downward from tree TO tree. The male,
with his kettle drums under his wings,
max es all the music, while the female does
all the mischief with small piercer under
its body about as large as a needle; the fe-
male pierces the thin bark and deposits in
Vulnerable very small eggs, from 800 to
1000; these destroy the twig. These eggs,
at later period, after Matching, drop to the
ground, which they enter, and the pupa
continues its residence there, feeding upon
roots and tibres, for sixteen years and nine
or ten months, and then reappears as de-
scribed. The insect never hops, but flies
from tree 10 tree, so that continuous whirr-
ing sound is heard in the orchards.
This appears to be about tue history and
character of the fly known as the seventeen
year locust. There does not appear to be
any preventive TO their depredations or
known means of destroying them. They
live only two or three weeks after they are
able to tlv, so that it would almost seem
to be Il ground insect, which comes to the
surface in the breeding season. The har-
vest fly, as il is popularity named, is not
unknown in New England. 1t is mention
ed as early as 1888, at Plymouth, where it
was called a fly, nike for biguess unto
wasps or humble bees" These, 1t is said,
came out of little holes in The ground, just
as now, and "did eat up the green things
(this is mistake), and made such a con-
slant yelling noise as made the woods ring
of them, and ready 10 deafen the hearers"
They appeared at Sandwich in 1887, 1904
and 1921, and 1t was said of them that they
sawed The twlgs partly off, so that the wind
felled them 10 the ground, and this process
is still spoken of. 1t is very clear that they
are seventeen-year pest, although they
may appear in different localities in differ
ent years, but in nearly all cases seventeen
years apart. When turned up by the plough
the black birds and hogs are said to be very
fond Of them. They have never appeared
in the northern parts of New England
though they have appeared repeatedly in
Massachusetts They seem to be put in
periodically, as it were, TO occupy the time
of the farmer, lest he should he getting bis
living too cheaply or some other enemy
should fail him.

A BLOODY AFFAIR IN ONO. Quo Of tho
most atroclous crimes ever perpetrated in
Ohio Is the murder, near the village Of
Care Hooking County, of john Weldon,
his widowed sister, Mrs. Susan McClurg,
and Miss Nancy Hlte, daughter of Mrs.
McCurg bv a former husband. Tho muir
derers are now in jail, and one of them,
William Terrill, has made a confession
which charges the crime upon Joseph
King. King, however, denies any knowl-
edge of the crime, and the prevailing opin-
ion is that Terrill did most Of the horrible
work. The murdered man was a thrifty
farmer and was generally supposed TO have
money about his house. Terrlll says they
met him about half mile from his house I;
that King, without warning, deliberately
shot him in the bowels, and afterwards shot
him In the breast once, and twice in the
neck. Weldon picked up an old corn cut
ter and threw it at King, and struck him
in the back. King seized the corn cutter
and struck the old man over the head,
cleaving his skull, and then finished his
bloody work with club. They then went
to a small stream near by, and washed
their hands, and then went TO the house.
King took au ak from the porch, went into
the house, and presently carne out eth the
old lady. They walked together mo-
ment, when, without warning, he struck
her with tho ak across the head, nearly
cutting it IN twain. She fell, and he struck
her across the neck, severng the jugular
vein. lie then ran into the house, and the
young lady seeing the ak bcsmeared with
blood, ran out of the front door. King
pursued aud overlook her before she had
taken many steps, and dealt her blow
upon the shoulder, sinking the ak to the
handle. This brought her to the ground,
and he struck her ON the back of the head,
splitting it wide open. lie again lifled his
weapon and struck her across the neck, al
most severing her head from her body. lie
then went into the house to find the mon
ey. When arrested they had about Sll on
their persons. The excitement over this
triple murder is intense. About 1900 peo-
pie gathered about the premises Sunday,
and fears were entertained that there would
be an attempt at night TO take the prisoners
from the Jail and lynch them. The latest
developments throw doubt upon Terrills
story, as King is known to have been at
Logan-seven miles distant-at o'clock
on the day of the murder and at s o'clock
the same night, and Terrill says the muir
der was committed between 6 and o'clock.

The GROWING IMPORTANCE of Spring
field, Mass, as a centre of wholesale trade
is again illustrated by the great extension
of the sale of fruit. BY general consent the
largest wholesale dealer in fruit is b. +.
Steele of that city, who has extensive ware
rooms at 49l Main St. He opened business
about four years ago, and his sales have
rapidly increased, ill now they are six
times as large as The first year and nearly
double that Of 1873. The retail dealers as
far north as Bellows Falls seem to find
