while a regular short cataract came
pouring down onto them until they
were about two inches deep, then the
hopping ceased in the trench. They
had nothing hard to kick against, but

in earth and buried them, and then of
to another trench and repeated the
whole operation. We continued this

Advice to Young Men.

THF true girl has to be sought for.
She does not parade herself as show
goods. She is not fashionable. Gener-
ally she is not rich. But, oh! what
heart she has when you find her! so
large and pure and womanly. When
you see it you wonder if these snowy
things outside were women. If you
gain her love, your two thousand are
millions. She'll not ask you for a car
rage or a first-class house. She'll wear
simple dresses, and turn them when
necessary, with no vulgar magniicat
to frown upon her economy. She'll
keep everything neat and nice in your
sky parlor, and give you such wei
come when you come home that you'll
think your parlor higher than ever.
She'll entertain true friends on dol
lar, and astonish you with the new
thought how little happiness depends
on money. She'll make you love home
(if you don't you're brute) and teach
You how to pity. while you scorn, a
poor fashionable society that thinks it
self rich and vainly tries to think itself
happy.
Now, do not, l pray you, say any
more, IL can't afford to marry" Go,
find the true woman, and you can.
Throw away that cigar. burn up that
switch cane, be sensible yourself, and
seek your wife in sensible way

Destroying L0custs.

The following is published in the
English papers, from letter recently
received from Ajmere, in Rajpootana,
India:
"The young locusts, which have for
several weeks threatened US, are now
taking their marches preliminary to
their wings having grown sufficiently
for fight, and they are doing enormous
damage. 1t is heartrending, after the
scarcity of last year, to see the fields
full of fine, tall, healthy crops one day,
reduced by the next to waste of bare,
brown stalks. l was congratulating
myself yesterday on the escape of our
garden, but this morning l saw our
Servants and several other men out in
an excited state shouting and waving
branches, trying to divert the hopping
masses past our boundary, and thus
save the garden. Twenty-eight men
have been at work since early this
morning."
The same writer continues few
DAYS later: II had heard but had
doubted the truth of the story as to how
to get rid of the army of young locusts
in Bikanecr. You know, I suppose,
they spring from eggs deposited by
previous fights of locusts, and when
Matched hop along in dense masses
while vet unfit for flight, and in their
progress lay waste all vegetation. l
had heard that in Bikaneer they dig
trenches to leeward of where these
young broods appear, and take meas
ures to drive the locusts into them,
and, the sides being perpendicular, the
creatures hop in but cannot hop out,
and earth is thrown in upon them. l
resolved to make an experiment. l
suggested to c., who was lament
ing the devastation going ON around,
that he should call out party of men
from his regiment and let US dig some
trenches and drive the locusts into
them, and 50 prove the truth or other
wise for ourselves. He promptly re-
sponded, so we collected spades and
organized fatigue parties and set to
work. Some time was lost in getting
matters into training, but in two hours
we succeeded in getting several
trenches dug, varying from twenty-five
feet to sixty feet long, one foot wide
and about two feet deep.
"Then we sent 'Sepoys' (native
soldiers) in . horseshoe direction from
the trench about one thousand feet
away to wave hands and drive the 10
Gusts on. They came and thickened as
they approached, one dense mass, hop
ping along till they hoped into the

The Sheridan and Schurz COntrO yersy.

The Chicago papers of November %
contain much of the correspondence
which has recently passed between Gen.
Sheridan, the Secretary of War, Gen.
Sherman, the Interior Department,
ETC., relative to the Indian question.
To the summary given in the Inter-
Ocean we have added liberal extracts
from Gen. Sherman's letter of Novem-
Der 18. The synopsis and letter read
as follows:
The discussion in reference to the attitude
OF the Interior Department toward the army,
concerning the conduct Of the Indians, has
had added to it an interesting chapter this
together In regard to events that occurred
previous to the letter of Secretary of the In
terror Schurz, which that official published
the other day In reply to certain statements
made by Gen. Sheridan in his annual report.
Last summer the Indian Agent at the Kiowa
tory, communicated to the commanding Off
Ger of Fort Sill that the agency under his
charge had been ordered consolidated with
the Wichita Agency. Gen. Pope, command
ing the Department, and Gen. Sheridan, COM
handing the Division, both protested
and removal of agencies that saved
only the salary of an agent to the Indian Bu-
reall, but at the cost of many thousands of
dollars to the War Office. The very vigorous
protest of Gen. Sheridan was based upon data
in his possession and an experience of over
twenty years. This naturally developed re-
ply from Sec'y Schurz, under date of Oct. z,
which is anterior to the letter from the head
Of the Indian Department, published the
other day.
Sec'y Schurz addressed the communication
of Oct. z to Sec'y McCrary, of the War De-
partment, and says, after going over the case,
that Gen. Pope reported he had no troops to
furnish the agent at Wichita, and that
he called attention to the fact that Fort
Sill was located and constructed. at great ex-
pense, for the protection of these very agen-
cies, and the control Of the Kiowas, Co
manches and Wichitas. The Secretary then
reviews the Endorsement of Lieut.. Gen. Sheri-
dan, which was to the effect that he (Sheri-
dan) fully Endorsed the views of Gen. Pope.

more than twenty years. that the principal OBJ

Among the Penguins.

A GENTLEMAN who passed some days
sketching in the Falkland Islands had
many opportunities of observing the
penguin populations; and he declared
them to be the most intelligent, impu-
dent and inquisitive of the feathered
tribe. He planted his camp-stool in
the densest part of their g rookery,"
where they crowded about him, picked
the buttons off and frayed the tails of
his coat, walked about his drawing ma
terials, and altogether behaved them
selves as if he had been sent for their
special entertainment. Fear there was
none, or, rather, it was all on the side
of the man; for nothing but an occa-
sional vigorous use of a walking-stick
enabled him to maintain his ground and
finish the beautiful series of water-color
drawings which we had the pleasure
afterward of examining.
The structure of these birds should
not be passed by without a word of
comment, so admirably adapted is it
to their mode of life. The fore-limbs
which in most other birds are wings
are tlattened out into pair of broad
swimming paddles covered with scales,
enabling the bird to follow its prey be-
meath the water with swiftness, grace
and ease contrasting remarkably with
its awkward movements on land. The
feet are broad and partially webbed.
and the leg is modified in order to
give stability to the body. Provision
is made for long-continued diving by
enlargement of the veins, which thus
retain and act as reservoirs for the VI
tiated blood until it can be renovated
by breathing. The bones are filed
with oily marrow, and the feathers are
exceedingly compact and well adapted
to resist water. When moulting, the
penguin avoids water, and the feathers
come away in patches instead of sim
ely; the whole process resembling more
nearly the shedding of snakes skin
than the moulting of bird. Fashion
has not spared the penguin! At one
time its skin was in great request for
ladies' muffs, and is still, we believe,
extensively used for many purposes of
ornamentation.- Chambers journal.

-"Mr. Moody" says the Pittsburgh
Commercial Gazette of Oct Is, "looked
last evening hardly day older than
when last here, ten years ago. He is
somewhat more rotund, and this makes
him look shorter than he is. His black
whiskers covering the greater part of
his face begin to take . slightly gray
tinge around the edges, but otherwise
he carries his years without showing
any ravages of time. He was dressed
in black cashmere suit last evening,
and wore small piccadilly collar, and
not a semblance Of jewelry. His voice
is still powerful and piercing as of old,
with an occasional Yankee twang, and
can be easily heard in the largest hall.
He speaks with vehemence at times,
and seems to have lost none of the fire
of his earlier years."

Every housekeeper in the country
knows that moths have been unusually
troublesome and destructive the past
season. The fact is said to be due to
the abnormal mildness of last spring
having set the moth-millers about egg
laying a few weeks in advance of the
usual time. In ordinary years furs and
clothing that are packed away before,
or early in May, are safe from the pest.
but last spring it is likely that many
housekeepers packed away their goods
with the eggs already laid therein.
But it is not only in goods packed
away, but on the carpets and uphol-
stery, that moths have been unusually
diligent.
