adventure near the Georgian town Of

town the soldiers encountered the wing

push on double-quick for Elizayetopal
| but the road was so blocked with lociIsts
that the soldiers grew frightened, and.
after wavering u few minutes, regular
! stampede took place! Led by a non
| commissioned officer of keen vision, who
had observed few huts short distance
from the road, the troops dashed across
the fields, slipping about over the
crushed and greasy bodies of the lOcusts
as though they had been on ice" The
huts were soon reached and the officers
rushed inside, Jut the refuge proved to
be oflittle value, as the premises were
already in possession Of the enemy. The
peasants told the correspondent of the
Kavkas that for days they bad been be-
seiged by the vermin, the insects filling
the wells and tainting the waters, crowd
ing into the ovens and spelling the
bread and preventing any food being
cooked or stored. At intervals the vii
layers issued frem their houses and made
onslaughts on the locusts, killing them
by thousands, and earting them away
afterwards TO the fields for manure. The
soldiers were detained prisoners by the
insects for forty-eight hours, and on their
march to ElizavetopOl, in the rear of the
locust army they found every blade OF
grass and green leaf DESTROYED and the
peasants reduced TO beggary.

WASHINGTON, January Will there
arc many warm expressions of friendship
for Garfield, there are also regrets that
Stanley Matthews is not again to appear
in the senate-at least for some years. A
leading Southern Senator who has been
long in the Senate, said TO our correspon.
dent to-day that Judge Matthews was one
ofthe greatest men in the Senate, and that
his speech during the extra session was
superior to any other speech made during
the session. This gentlemen said that
II Of tue strongest facts in our political
history was the number OF really great
men which Ohio manages TO turn out
when occasion demanded.
General Gartield's friends here have
been in good humor to-day over the selec.
ton Of their favorite TO occupy Thurman's
seat. Both parties speak Of General Gar
field as q man Of great possibilities. A
prominent Democratic Senator said to-day
that General Garfield was in the line Of
Presidential succession on the Republi.
can side, and was one Of thegreatest Of the
illnstrious Ohio men who had come to the
front within the past ten years. Senator
Pendleton speaks very highly Of Garfield,
rs do all the Democrats. II was remarked
to-day that Garfield would enter the
Senate without an enemy on either sideof
the chamber.

BALTIMORE, January 7.-Adyices from
Pocomoke City note a curious sequel to the
sensation caused a fortnight ago by the
s%candalous charges brought by Mrs. Polk
against x.state Senator Aydelotte, Of en-
tering her house during the absence finer
husband and attempting to violate her per.
son. Aydelotte is a conspicuous pillar Of
the Presbyterian Church. The Rev. Mr..
Brown Is an eloquent speaker and popu-
lar pastor OF the Presbyterian flock, having
accepted a call from the west to take the
Pocomoke City charge. The congregation
has been violently agitated by the charges
against Aydelotte, and a split is threaten
ed. On Sunday the church was crowded,
but in place OF a sermon the Rev. Mr..
Brown gave from the pulpit q scathing di.
atribe, denouncing Aydelotte and the
whole community. He came there, he
said, supposing he was coming into o
Christian, moral community, but found
himself among a people without principle
or morality, lost to all sense OF shame, rot
ten to the core. lie was ashamed to nc.
knowledge hisresidence there, and recent.
ly in Philadelphia he could not acknowl-
edge to a brother clergyman that lie
belonged to Pocomoke. He ended by re-
signing his passionate, and the congrega-
ton dispersed in high dudgeon. The OK.

rvo propOsItIons Before Congress for

WAsH1xoroS, January 1.-The great I'M
~portance OF the agricultural interests Of the
country, SO plainly shown by the relations
recently assumed by the wheat-producing
sections Of the west toward European
consumers, and by the marked effect OF
the condition OF our crops upon the
country's prosperity, has inclined Con-
gress 10 a more respectful hearing oil the
demands for an Agricultural Department
Tran has been accorded hitherto. The
indications are that this subject, anu
the existing Bureau Of Agriculture,
will receive considerable attention before
adjournment. While Commissioner re
Due Is undergoing an investigation, when
will begin tomorrow, the Senate Is threat
ened with n deIuge Of statistics. Alter ~

into the expediency of establishing an ad'

Agriculture and Commerce" Senator
Window announced that he would make
a speech upon the subject at au early day.
Thereupon, Senator Davis, OF West VIZ
ginia, made haste to declare thathe heart
ily agreed with Senator Window US to
tile desirability OF establishing such q de;
partment, and at once introduced o OIL
providing for the creation oil It.
Senator Carpenter sarcastically asked
the gentlemen 10 show him the clause in
the Constitution which gave any, more
authority or power to establish o depart
partment OF agriculture and mining, than
Il did to create n department oil shoe
making, or one which would cover the
interests OF any other industry. There Is
much dissatisfaction with the name IN
which the Agricultural Bureau is con-
Quoted, and a growing sentiment in favor
OF a more effective recognition OF our great
soil interests and agricultural resources
Congress can hardly escape q consldera'
ton Of the whole question.

Toledo Blade, Dec. 81.
One year ago the late Sam Gary said
that it was as impossible for tho United
States Government to resume as It was
for a pyramid to stand upon its apex.
One year ago to-day at least 100000
young men, who have since paid enough
for beer and tobacco to build the Wabash
Railroad, solennly promised to neither
drink or smoke for ayear.
One year ago to-day many young gen.
tlemen who now nightly walk the floor
with a screaming baby in M hand and a
bottle OF soothiug-sirup In the other, were
begging those babies mothers to make
them the happiest Of men.

THE treasury department has prepared
a comparative statement OF revenue re-
ceipts from July / to December 81, 1877,
1878 and 1870. The statement shows that
the receipts from customs during the last
half of 1879 were, in round numbers,
SIC, 8o2, 900 greater than during the last
half of 1873, and sls,344,OOO greater than
during the last half OF 1878. The increase
in internal revenu was much less, it hav-
ing been 1913, 900 over 1878, and $685.
600 over 1877. The receipts of revenue
from all sources were SlS,00S, 600 greater
during the last six months than during
the corresponding period of 1878, and
500, OO4, 600 greater than during the cores
ponding period of 1877. The gain may be
due in some measure to greater efficiency
in collecting revenue, but it is doubtless
principally due to the revival Of industrial
and commercial activity. The indications
are that the gains from duties on imports
will be still greater during the current
wear,
