The Hebrews had several sorts of
Ocusts which are not known TO us.
The old historians aud modern trav-
elers remark that locusts are very nu-
merous in Africa, and in many places
of Asia-that sometimes they fall like
every thing they meet with. Moses
describes four sorts OF Iocusts. Since
there was prohibition against using
locusts, it is not to be questioned that
these insects were commonly eaten in
Palestine and the neighboring coun-
tries. DIR. Shaw, Niebuhr, Russell and
many other travellers in the eastern
countries, represent their taste as
agreeable, and inform us that they are
frequently used for food. DR.. Shaw
observes that when they are sprinkled
with salt. and fried, they are not un-
like, in taste, to our fresh-water cray
fish. Russell says the Arabs salt them
and eat them as a delicacy. Niebuhr
also says that they are gathered by the
Arabs in great abundance, dried, and
kept for winter provisions. The raw
ages of the migratory locust have been
1T particular times, so extensive as to
lay waste the vegetation OF whole dis
tric;s. and even kingdoms. In the
year 593 of the Christian era, these in-
sects appeared in such vast numbers as
to cause a famine in many countries.
Syria aud MesOpotamia were overrun
by them in so. In So immense
swarms took their flight from the east
ern regions into the west, ard destroy
ed all vegetables not even sparing the
bark of the trees nor the thatch OF
houses, after devouring the crops of
corn, grass, sc. Their daily marches
were observed to be about twenty miles
each; and iU is said that their progress
was directed with so much order that
there were regular leaders among them
who flew first and settled on the spot
which was TO be visited at the same
hour next day by the whole legion.
Their marches were always undertaken
at sunrise. In 1lil, incredible hosts
afflicted Poland, wallachia, and all the
anjoining territories, darkeninS the
sun with their numbers, and ravaging
all the fruits of the earth. The years
l747 and l74S, afforded memorable
instance of the ravages of these insects
in Germany and other parts of Europe
as far north as England.

Wonderful Tenacity of Life.

Thirty-three years ago, an Egyptian
desert snail was received at the British
Museum. The animal was known to be
alive, as it had withdrawn into its shell,
and the specimen was accordingly gummed,
mouth downward, on to tablet, duly Ia
beled and dated, and left TO its fate. In
stead of starving, this contented gastropod
simply went to sleep, in quiet way, and
never woke up again for four years. The
tablet was then placed in tepid water, and
the shell loosened, when the dormant snail
suddenly resuscitated himself, began walk
ing about the basin, and finally sat for his
portrait. Now, during these four years,
the snail had never eaten mouthful OF
any food, yet he was quite as well and
fiourisling at the end of the period as he
had been at its beginning.

war him. presenting his heart as the
mark to shoot at. There the Texan
stood. with his arms folded and an ex =
preston of quiet melancholy on his
face.
IL am ready" he said, casting sim
gle glance at his brother, with whom
he had previously shaken hands, ana
then turning his gaze toward the river.
The brother took deliberate aim, and
pulled the trigger. The cartridge did
not explode. Jack flung quick look
at it, and seeing his brother about to
try again, once more gazed at the river.
After another long aim the brother
suddenly threw the pistol into the riv-
er and wheeled about. Jack advanc ID
in anger.
YOU'RE pejurer," he said. 81
would have killed you.''
The brother did not reply, but turn
ed and walked toward home.
Jack followed with the greatly re-
lieved witness. He did not utter a
word until they parted in Denver. He
made repeated efforts to induce his
brother tn carry out the compact, and
seemed more anxious to die the more
he reflected upon his escape. He ap-
peared to court death with moody anx-
iety, and long after this affair had ceas-
ed to torment him, this strange, rest
less desire to meet death by violence
seemed 10 haunt him. At three o'clock
on the morning of his death (he re-
manned up because he was filed with
the suffocating sense that death was
coming, he walked down Sixteenth
street with a friend, and said:
''lt's coming, coming, | feel it in the
air; but | don't know how, and I'd
like 10 know, I've got the sand to die
game, and I'll die in my boots, but I'd
like TO know how it's coming"
"You ought to go somewhere, Jack, :"
said his friend.
"There is not spot in this western
country where Jack Finehart is not IN
DANGER" he replied.
At ten O'Clock he was attending to
his duties as yard-master. A switch
engine was going down the yard be-
hind passenger train, and Jack know
ing the engineer to be Denver & Rio
Grande man, and being distr sttrl of
him, jumped on the step and rode along
with him. The ricketty engine was
going very fast. Ii went of the rails
and fell over, and Yard-master Fine
hart was crushed to death and badly
mutilated. The engineer was also
killed.
To think that man who was cover
ed from head to foot with knife and pis-
toi scars a man whose death was many
times due, perhaps, from the hands of
other men, should meet it at last by a
railroad accident. His funeral was at
tended by great numbers, and as he
lies in the cemetery, one sees over his
grave the simple inscription, Jack

DIR, England, of Newark, New Jer-
stomach of a colored woman in that
place. When called upon the doctor
exhibited two of the lizards, preserved
in alcohol. One is four inches in length
and the other about two and one-half
inches. They are of a light mud color,
and are perfectly formed. The larger
one is half an inch in diameter at the
thickest part, near the shoulders and
head. DIR. England said that when he
drew the large enc from Lucy Davis 5
throat she screamed so loudly that a
score of colOred people flocked into the
room. When they saw the lizard
crawling on the floor they stood with
mouths agape and eyes starting from
the sockets. He never saw such ter
rified set of people in his life. Lucy
Davis's case, DIR England added, was
an unusual one, although lizards had
before existed in the stomachs of hui
man beings. He tempted the largest
lizard up in Lucy's throat by putting a
decoctiOn on her tongue. When the
head of the lizard appeared, he seized Ii
with an instrument and quickly pulled
it OUT. "When | was student with
the late DIR. T.. Z. WhetmOre of Brook
lyn," said DIR. England, II assisted IN a
somewhat similar and very peculiar
case. DR.. WhetmOre was summoned to
attend lady living Lear Flatbush. He
took me with him. We arrived ut the
farm iif the afternoon, and saw the pa
tient. DIR. Whetmore told her not TO
eat anything that evening, and he
would attend to her the next day
Early the next morning the old doctor.
without saying anything to me or the
lady, procured pan of fresh, warm
milk from the barn. He carried the
milk into the house, and told the lady
to sit in a chair near the window. lie
then bandaged her eyes, and made
me hold the pan of milk close to her
mouthnnd nostrils. Ia few minutes
the lady began to breathe as though
she was being smothered. DIR. Whet-
more, who had been anxiOusly looking
down her throat, suddenly inserted an
instrument, and in few seconds pulled
out a milk snake. The lady went into
convUlsions, but soon recovered. The
snake was as beautiful 4 specimen of a
milk snake | ever saw. 1t was nearly
two feet III length, and half an inch In
circumference. 1t was of q blue-water
color, with cream-brown spots. The
lady recovered her health -apidly. DIR.
Whetmore lad not said what was the
cause of her illness until he pulled out
the snake

THE INDIAN TROUBLES.

THE GOVERNMENT DISPOSED TO HOLD
CANADA RESPONSIBLE FOR SITTING
BULL.
fNN WASHINGTON, July 25, 1870.
There has been a conference OF gov
ernment authorities to-day relative to
anticipated raid from Sitting Bull over
the Northern boundaries. The Inferior
Department authorities are disposed to
think that there will not be any serious
trouble. The War Department Is less
confident. Should Sitting Bull reall,
make raid upon our settlements the
indications are that our government will
be disposed to hold the BRUSH Govern
ment responsible on the ground that Sit
ting Bull has been naturalized as a
Canadian Indian. This, from the outset
has been the position taken by Secretary
Evarts, and Secretary Schurz is inclined
to the same view. The dispatch from
Ottawa this mOring, which seemed to
show that the Canadian Home Govern
ment regarded Sitting Bull as a Cana
dian Indian, helps to strengthen this po-
sitiOn with our government.

ILLINOIS is gaining an enviable repu-

A law has recently gone into operation
which requires every medical practitioner
to obtain license from the State Board
of Health, and It is estimated that near
ly half Of the $500 medical pretenders
have already emigrated. But what is
fun for Illinois will be death for the ad-
joining States, unless they enforce SINH
lar laws. .H
