VItaIftU and Cunning Of the Locust.

Correspondence of the Milwaukee News.I
In 1865 l made experiments to see
how soon locusts would drown. After
confning them in water twelve hours
they soon showed signs of life when
placed in the sunshine, and in a few
minutes began TO move. I tried freezing,
and came to the conclusion that they
could be frozen up any length of time,
and the warm sunshine would revive
them. In 1S47 tried animal poisons to
see what effect they would produce on
locdsts. l put the poison on celery,
which the locusts prefer to other vege-
tables, and after observing the effect
formed the opinion that they could eat
their weight of any animal poison with
out i'll effect to them. As soon as they
Matched out and began eating in April,
1875, l took a can of coal oil and pan
for the purpose of making fagot to burn
some that had just began to eat my
wheat, coming, from sandy knoll in the
field. 1 poured the oil in the pan, and
in moving about the pan caused two or
three to leap into it. 1 perceived that
they changed color instantly, and to all
appearance were dead. 1 then forced
them in and observed the same results.
On placing them in the sunshine it failed
to bring them to life again. 1 Iafterward
tried coal-tar with the same happy re-
suit. Turpentine, alcohol, alkali and
croton oil will kill them, and from the
results of my experiments l believe that
anything that will kill vegetable life
will destroy locust life under the same
conditions.
know no insect that exhibits the cum
ming of locusts after they are four weeks
old. Wien very young they appear to
have no sense, as they will leap into
water or fire if in their course. After
four weeks old they will perform acts of
cunning that are incredible to the unob-
serving. In 1875, after they ate my
neighbor's crop on the east, they set out
for my field. turned water between his
and my field, and caused it to flow four
or five feet wide in places, and let it flow
through the wheat ten or fifteen feet wide
in places. I soon found them crossing
by thousands, swinging from blade to
blade of the wheat that stood in the run
ming water. 1 then cut the wheat out,
but at the junction of ditch l had left
two fence poles in the form of letter v,
the lover ends crossing near the water of
the creek, and the upper ends on either
side of the ditch. They soon found pas
sage, and would and did climb down a
pole fifteen feet long over the water of
Bear Greek, and up the other pole into
my field. They were making the pas
sage in one continuous stream when
made the discovery, and the ground and
wheat were covered near the passage by
those that had crossed.

SPECIMENS of Western oratory are
rather stale but here is bit related by
a trustworthy authority, which has not
been in print before: Whar is Europe
with America I? Nowharl They call
England the mistress of the sea, but what
makes the sea? The Mississippi River
makes it ! And all we've got to do is to
turn the Mississippi into the Mammoth
Gave, and the English Navy will be
houndering in the mud.

The new interest law of Connecticut
fixes the rates for future contracts at six
per cent, three hundred and sixty days
being counted as year. Sheuld bor-
rover agree in writing to pay taxes and
insurance, the sums actually so paid
may be legally collected, in addition to
the six per cent.

An eminent French Psychologist holds
that the numerical proportion of giants
in each generation is the same, and that
taking a hundred of the tallest men of
any generation they will present just
the same varieties of stature as the
hundred tallest men of the preceding
ones

Editors Telegraph-The author of the
accompanying verses now residing at BAY
City, Mich, is our old friend, and former
fellow citizen, Thos. Pendleton. While at
Bay City recently l had the pleasure of
having very interesting little visit with
him. found him to be very warm sd-
vocate os temperance. He said he wished
all his old associates would follow in the
same train with him. Thinking that the
following lines will be read with interest
by his many friends, offer them for pub
heation in the TELEGRAPH. By the way
Tom has taken to himself a wife to help
him along through life's rough journey.
May peace, happines, and long life he their
portion is the wish of P.
Ashtabula Dec. 8. 1877.
In all our dealings with others,
With conscience let's always confer,
And Wen not go far WRONG oh my brothers,
Though in life it is human 10 err.
Let US never be guilty OF blaming
Others for what We have done,
Nor charge all the crimes Of our drinking
To venders of whisky and rum
'Tis true true well we all know IL,
Though 10th we may be TO confess
Twas our fault, not theirs. that we drank
OF their whisky and beer TO excess.
To our appetites then we gave needing,
And they forged every link in the chains
Which bound down our manhood all bleed
ing,
Whilst for whisky we squandered our gains.
But now, thank God. we are freemen;
Free from their sOul-damning yoke.
And our future with sunshine is cleaning
Since from their base thralldom we broke.
Now we will night out Iife's battles
Unshackled by whisky and rum.
And we'll try to atone in the future
For what in the past we have done.
Stand by your pledges men, steady,
And for temperance strongly combat,
You'll be blessed by your dear wives and
children,
And there's millions on millions in that.
Let US never disgrace our Red Ribbon,
'Tis OF far more value than wealth,
For the world doth honor the courage
OF the man who conquers himself -
The Ribbon, my lads, is a tailsman.
That will guard when the tempters assail,
Then wear it in sunshine and shadow,
And DER them you'll surely prevail,
With the warriors front let's go forward,
With 'Dare to do right for our guide,
And if we prove true to ocr colors,
We will end with the conquerors stride.
