A PLAGUEOF LOCUSTS,
APlague Like That of tho Mosaic
Tfmna

The Georgian town of Jelizawetpol,
near Tihis,sha suffered a plague OF
locusts almost as bad as that which
afflicted Egypt in the days of Moses
On the Goth Of April the insects invaded
the town in such numbers that the
merchants had to shut up their
shops, and walking about the streets
was exceedingly difficult. The Rus
sian authorities ordered the inhabi-
tants to make united effort to kill
the pests, but the generous people re-
fused, believing it sin to destroy a
locust, until the authorities threatened
to punish every householder who failed
to deliver daily given weight of dead
insects. The canals were filed with
locusts, so that the water for drinking
and washing could only bs obtained
by straining. The houses swarmed
with the creatures, and many families
went week without bread because
their ovens were literally filled with
them. They tried in vain to drive out
the locusts by lighting the holy candles
and burning incense. The Armenian
priests regarded the plague as vista
tion of God, and brought from a neigh
boring town the bones of Jacob, which
they carried through the streets ofthe
afflicted city in procession, fairly wadd-
ing through masses of dead and living
locusts as they marched along with the
relics of the patriarch. The energetic
measures taken by the police finally
abated tho evil, but not until the gar
dens, orchards, and vineyards had
been stripped bare, and the people had
suffered for more than week.

Moonlight and Music Tonight

We suppose that our readers have
not forgotten that it is this evening,
Thursday, June 2G, that the famous
moonlight concert on the Delaware,
takes place. The committee having the
matter in charge have arranged a pro-
gramme seldom found in one bill. The
American Rifles full Band, host Of
the best vocal talent OF Wilmington, and
other attractions will enliven the trip.
Among the vocal gems we are assured
that Misses Ida and Mollie Roberts will
render "Stars of the Twilight" which
was SO highly appreciated at the Opera
House on the occasion of Prof. Crabb's
Commencement. The Susie Mccall, on
which boat the concert takes place, will
leave Fourth Street Wharf, at s o'clock
this evening, and steam down the Del
aware stopping at New Castle on the
way down and back. Tickets only 40
cents, or IS cents for double tickets ad-
mitting two. Refreshments of all kinds
furnished on the boat. Those at New
Castle not having tickets can procure
them at the boat when it touches at the
wharf this evening. Go and enjoy a
ride on the Delaware by moonlight, the
scenery, the air, the music and the re-
freshmentS.

Equine Cruelty.

FOR the fepuDllcan.
MEssRs. EDITORS Two cases came in
this morning and as We only had time
to attend to one we chose the worst. A
young man driving for Patrick Maloney
hauling heavy stones from the quarry
at 9Th and Jackson streets, had poor
used up gray horse, and whenever it
faltered in its steps the driver pulled
OUT good sized pocket knife and stuck
him three or four times. A number of
persons testified to having seen him
do it all along the road to Jefferson
street where he emptied the stones.
Not long ago the same cruelty was
practised by George. ..Cochran's drivers;
they were seen to draw out the knife
and wipe off the blood on their coat
sleeves. In the case this morning the
horse gave out after the first load and
Mr.. Maloney took him home to the
stable wondering what was the matter
with him. The poor abused animal
could not speak and tell how he had
been stuck with a knife. The other case
was that of lame horse put up for
sale near the City Hall and whatever
man bought him and intends driving
him on three legs shall have our strict
attention in the near future. E. W.

DEMORALIZED.
ToO Much Veto DemOraIizss the

Heart and Getttng Worse. ..,,...

|
The correspondent of the "Evenin,
Bulletin" of yesterday says:
"lf any doubts exist as to the report.
OF decentralization existing among thu
Democrats in Congress, the actions O.
that party yesterday will certainly dis
pei them. A more demoralized party
never assembled than that which pre-
sented itself when the two chambers
met yesterday. The former vetoes were
harmless in effect in comparison with
that produced by the last, and notwith
standing the fact that caucus after eau.
Gus had been held by the Advisory
Board, or Committee of Safety, the dis.
sensions in their ranks were not heal.
ed.
All day yesterday the caucus COM
mittees were in session, and until 9
late hour last night. The uneasiaess
manifested by those who were not
members of the caucus committees was
observable to all. Wallace, the head
and front OF the seven implacables in
the Senate, lodged in and cut of the
House, and tried to induce his friends
there to hold out against any conces-
sions. Atkins and Springer took the
lead in the House and, with hats in
hand were ready to go out at mo-
ment's notice.
Things looked desperate, as the fiat
of the House Appropriations Committee
that they would not permit any bill
but the vetoed one to go through their
hands. against the earnest desire of the
Senatorial caucus to divide the Judicial
bill and make the deadlock between
the two chambers complete.
Randall was i'll at ease, and with
bowed head and abstracted air he pac-
I'D up and down the floor, after having
called Finley to the chair. Randall at
last grabbed his ha. and went over
to
cokhUEE WITH THURMAN,
and the result was more caucussing.
House, Democrat from Tennessee, an
implacable, offered a resolution to ad-
journ to-day at five o'clock. He now
wishes he had not done it, for the vote
showed that large number of Demo-
Gratis would unite with the Republicans
and vote against the adjournment with.
out first making provision for the Judi
ciary. Springer got scared, and rushed
up to the desk, hastily scratched down
the names of those who voted with the
Republicans, and then left the Cham
ber, no doubt to deliver the names to
the caucus that was then in session.
Neither House accomplished much,
and the Republicans made no oppssi-
tion to allowing them to adjourn early
and continue their caucusing. Tom
Ewing and his Democratic friends are
nearly frantic over the position of af-
fairs, and they spent the entire day in
trying to convert the implacables to the
last surrender movement. If any one
supposes the day passed without any
profanity, he is very much mistaken.
1t was day of sorrow, and more bit
ter pill than the one Thurman has pre-
pared for his party to swallow before
they get out Of the slough of despond-
ency has not been administered this
session.

An Unmitigated Nuisance,

Complaints from tired and toll worn
mothers come in from the neigh borhood
of Eighth and Madison street, against
ice cream venders who, every afternoon,
just as the Madison street babies get
fairly to. sleep in their cradles, put in an
appearance and commence their often
sive iingling. The noises irritate the
babies nerves and as natural conse-
quence there issues from the various
Madison street habitations a general
infantile protest loud and emphatic.
We would impress upon the minds of
those ebony-hued ice cream venders that
babies-and Madison street babies
particularly have rights which the ice
cream men are bound to respect
