The Standard Critic Criticised.

The dramatic critic C?) of the Standard
promulgates some new ideas relative to the
nature of an encore, and also discovers
what before was never known-that Augusta
| audiences are somewhat profuse in this direc.
tion. This idea must strike the average
theatre going person in Augusta as somewhat
ironical, though evidently not intended as
such.
In the first place the aforesaid critic con.
veys the impression that an "encore" is ian
offence" to an actor or actress, in that the
audience are simply trying to get their
moneys worth twice over" and not giving
expression to their appreciation of some par
ticularly good piece of acting or singing.
Charging an audience with selfshness, and
the actors with Indifference and want of
feeling, is certainly new view of the sub
ject! and one for budding critics to ponder
over, that they may hereafter show it is not
necessary for a critic to be lone skilled in
judging" but simply to have the ability of
expressing has oVn preJudices.
1t has always been considered by actors
and actresses that a prolonged applause
| amounting to an encore, was an expression of
sympathy and appreciation on the part of an
audience, for the ''artist, and the pride
and pleasure they feel when such applause
is given, never dies within them.
Many performance has been spoiled, and
an otherwise fine actor or actress rendered
unable to rise above mediocrity during play,
through the absence of this applause. c.

Harvest ofReetIes.

The provincial official journals of Russia give some curious statistics of the harvest of beetles in the southern provinces. In many parts of Kharkof the only harvest reaped this year by the peasants has been that of the -Ants0pliG G,cst7fdcd, for collecting which the local assemblies have granted some small sub sidies The results of this harvest are week. ly published in the Kharkoff government
 Vet50nl0Sjj, and the number received to-day contains a long list in continuation of previ- ous ones. From this we learn that two tons of beetles have been reapedin the commune of Veselandskij, five tons at Vasiievsky, seven tons at the German colonies at Eigen- field, ten tons at Belozersk, and fifteen tons at Prishilsk. Such figures as these but faint ly bring home to the mind the ravages wrought by the insect pests of Russia, and their prostrating effects on the prosperity of the country. The visitation, indeed, is as extraordinary as it is beyond human skill to cope with. Fifteen years have elapsed since the waters of the Black Sea first washed on the Russian shores the eggs of the AntsopkG CslLstTtGcd, and yet, so far from the phenome- non being exceptional in it's character, it has been constantly repeated since, and the Od- essa Vestaatk received this morning contains another announcement that fresh 'swarms are ripening in the sun on the sands near Sebastopol" Where they come from is a mystery. The larv@ is first seen floating on the waves of the Black Sea, the beetles break into life as soon as the eggs get stranded on the shore, and then swarm after swarm of A1assopSG 0ustrtGcd pass over the Crimean valleys into the interior every year increas- ing the area of their ravages, and every year diminishing by millions the sorry earnings of Russian peasants. How to deal with the evil is one of the great problems of to-day in Rus sia Machines of all descriptions have been tired, but have proved more or less worthless as indeed must all mechanical appliances -A T IL
 Kharkoff was calculated in the spring to con- tain 35O, 1000, GOO insects. A short while ago it was said that 0 fly had been discovered with propensity for killing corn beetles and it may be safely assumed that 1t will only be by means of some such antagonistic insect or by the agency of birds-at present absent from the Russian steppes-that the evil will be ultimately suppressed.

l There has been vigorous effort to show that no confederate flag was displayed during the recent Democratic demonstration in Washington. It is now said that the flag which was reported to be 8 rebel banner was the national flag of Liberia, displayed from the stand. But the reliable Washington cor respondent of the Boston Advertiser says that the Confederate flag which was display ed hung from private house near for some hours before the meeting began. Two gen. tiemen of standing, one of them southern man who was well acquainted with the rebel flag, went to inspect 1t and found it to be the real article.

The behavior of the doomed passengers was heroic, even the chil- dren being quiet and reasonable.
