LOcusts as Food. I.

St. Mark describes the Diet Of John
the Baptist as consisting Of "locusts
and wild honey Some commenta-
tors have explained 'locnstsD as de-
noting some kind Of bread or wild
fruit. This is an error, for locusts are
eater as food By many people in the
East. A recent writer on the cnriosi-
ties of food accords to the locust the
first place, in the purely insect world,
as an article of diet He says:
From the remotest antiquity the
locust has been used for rfood-witness
the sculptures of Assyria- and ct the
present day they are devoursd il
enormous quantities by many differ
|ent races. Yet there is wide DIVER
gcnce Of opinion regarding the value
of locusts as food.
"Some travellers describe locustS as
desperate makeshift; others as pass
able; others, again, as resembling
sllrimps in delicacy and flavor. They
compete with meat in the market of
Bagdad; they are called "terads in
Yemen, and "annep in Dancali, and
they are frequently used as food by
the wandering tribes of Asia and AT
rica, who, after broiling them, sepa-
rate the head from the body, and eat
them as Western nations do shrimps-
In some parts of Africa they are
ground and made into bread. In SEN
egal they are eaten by the highest.
classes. They are the main support
of the bushmen of South Africa

Dog sense.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
is responsible for the following:
An old Nantucket, Conn, bird dog
showed a remarkable degree of intel
ligence recently in carrying four pups
of a choice breed from the railroad
track just before train time. He
would seize one by the nape of the
neck, carry it off the track to the mid
die Of the street, then return for anoth-
er; in the mean time tue first would
be back again, and the pups seemed
to be enjoying the sport hugely. The
old fellow sat down apparently in des-
pair, but it seemed that be was only
|devising a plan to get the little ras-
Gals home, for after minute he seized
one as before and bore it off to the
street. On putting it down he watched
it few seconds as it started back to
the car track, he gave it a sharp bite
which made the pup howl and start
for home. The old fellow proceeded
in this way with each separately and
then followed after them. Occasion
ally one of them would turn back,
when the old dog wonld seize it and
linflict another bite. The whole pro-
ceedirg occupied about an hour.

the same dommeering spirit is evident,
but they have lost their terrors. Their
assertion is no longer met with truck
ling submission; they cannot fail to ex-
cite resolute resistance.
The work of retribution is not fin
ished yet. The wrongs of century of
denominations cannot be wiped out in n
decade. The power that for three gem
erations oppressed race and made the
Government the instrument of its des-
potic purposes, that made compromises
and broke them, that waged war and
acquired territory for slavery, that set
its fangs in newborn States TO tear
them from the bosom of liberty, that
smote at the country's heart and tried
to sink the Union in a deluge of blood
what has it done to expiate its crimes
and expunge the horrid recordP The
work of retribution is not done, nor can
the hand of man prevent it from going
on to completion. It's chief instrument
is the character of the people, which
was produced by slavery, and which it
will take more than one generation of
freedom to regenerate. The South
cannot fail to be rehabilitated in time,
and put in the enjoyment of great pros
perity. But il must be in other hands,
and under the prevalence of different
spirit. The heritage of the dark times
yet remains. There must come up new
generations, more and more free from
the old faint, and there must come in
from other quarters, as the spirit of in
tolerance and oppression gives way,
new blood and new purposes. Then,
and not till then, can the sectional line
disappear from our map, and the South
be reduced to point of the compass in
one common and homogeneous nation
ality.-N. y. Times.

Die Of the country are not cabafIe 81

pie Of the country are not capable Of
self-government," he says, falsely.
Government, by means Of afaithful en-
forcement Of the laws made by chosen
representatives of the people, through
the agency of civil officers sustained
with che Army and Navy, il need be,
by President elected by the people, is
exactly what the Republicans demand.
They affirm that ''the people of this
country cannot possibly g0Uern them
selves in any other way. The abolition
of that faithful enforcement of law by
the aid of the force provided in the
Constitution, is surrender of govern
ment by the people to government by
mob law, red-shirted ride-clubs, white
leaguers and banded Democratic assas-
sins. No man living knows better than
Mr. Hill that this is the precise issue:
Shall the country be governed by law
breaking mobs and armed partisan
clubs, or shall the people govern them
selves by laws enforced with all the
power at their commando
Arc the States of this Union capa--
BILE of holding their own electionspn is
the other issue, according to Mr.. Hill.
A truthful statement of the issue would
be this: Shall the Union have power to
secure honest and free elections, if at
any time a State refusesP Mr.. Hill and
the Democrats intend that the Union
shall not have that power. The Re-
publicans intend that the Union shall
have it. They point to many elections
at the South, in New York and other
Northern States as proof that the ex-
ercise of such power is sometimes nee
essary to protect the rights and freedom
of honest voters, and to prevent self
government from degenerating into a
farce. To make it a farce, whenever
any State government refuses to pro-
tect all citizens in their rights, fs the
meaning of the Democratic demands.
Until Democratic white leagues, Demo-
cratic mobs, Democratic repeaters and
tissue-ballots, and Democratic natural
ization frauds, had gained such control
in several States that an honest cleo
tiOn there without Federal supervis-
ion had become an impossibility, the
need of such supervision was not real
lied. But now the country knows that
it has to choose between government
by force and fraud aud the maintenance
and enforcement of the laws which rev.
olutionary Democrats desperately strive
to Overthrow.-N Y. Tribune.
