GRAssHOPPERs AND DRAGON FLIES.

Turkey, it appears, is overrun with grass
h0ppers, and the Government has been com
PEELED to employ extraordinary measures to
overcome the plague. A particularly voracious
species has appeared in the Bodirnm District
(Smyrna), and the whole population is en-
ployed to combat the insects. At Angora all
business was, suspended for three days by
order OF the Governor General, and all the in
habitants were ordered to march out into the
fields to destroy the grasshoppers. Every in
habitant was compelled to deliver twenty Okla
(abont y cwt) OF dead grasshoppers to the
officials. The swarms are said to emanatc
principally from Persia.
In some parts of Germany dragon flies have
been unusually numerous. AT Kamcnz during

DOUBLE GLAZING FOR COLD WEATHER.

., DIR. James Edm!lnds, of London, points out in
4 ne Enghsh Mechaatc some OF the advantages
OF double glazing in promoting the health of
homes In winter. Skylights, he says, ought
never to be put up unless double or double
the sashes are grooved out for glass on each
side, and are then glazed with an air space of
one-hali inch or more between the panes of
glass. The glass must be put in with its inner
faces perfectly, bright and clean, and the glaz-
ing should be done on cold dry day so as not
10 include watery vapor, which, in cold weather,
mistiness. This double-glazing with air space
makes q window almost us warm as q brick
wall, and not only keeps up the temperature of
the room cool in hot weather, and it makes the
temperature more uniform throughout the
apartment. With ordinary thin glazing in
winter the inmates are always being chilled on
that side which looks toward the window, and
baked on the side which is toward the fire, and
no sooner do ladies leave the dining room than
the gentlemen instinctively move up to the
fireplace and proceed to bake the cold side Of

A Paris correspondent of The National Bap-
list, who recently heard Pere Hyacinthe preach,
writes as follows: "The Pere is occupying a
position midway between Romanism and Prot
estanJism. He conducts the service in the ver-
nacular, instead of in an unknown tongue he
abjures the enforced celibacy of the priest
hood; he regards confession as voluntary,
though he retains the confessional he uses the
holy water, though not attaching to it any
miraculous powers, but merely regarding it as
n reminder of our baptism he celebrates the
Mass, but does not q think believe in transub-
sanitation. Ii is the view OF the Perc and of
many of his friends, that in this position lac has
the ear of very many who would be repealed
from him if he were professedly a Protestant.
Others, on the contrary, are of opinion that his
middle position depriyes him of the support of
both parties that he loses the Romanists with
out gaining the Professionals they believe that
his movement is largely personal; that those
who attend his ministry are attracted by his
genius and eloquence, and that, whenever he shall
cease preaching, the new Church will fall to
pieces. They believe that If he should fully eman-
cipate himself from Rome, and should throw
himself wholly into the Protestant movement.

A Big meteor-or a Big Story.
[Frsm the San Francisco ca1Ll


 The fall of a meteor about o'clock yes- terday morning, in the bay near Goat Island, from the description given to CdU reporter by various persons on the water front, must have been sight seldom wit messed by man. Hearing that an old fisher man had been on the bay near where the aerolite fell, the reporter looked him up and got the following story:
 .tYes, " said he, ''I was near the place when that meteor fell, and let me say right here don't want to be there when the next one comes down. tell you what, young man, I've been in good many close places in California, fighting grizzlies and standing of. Mexicans in '49, but never said my prayers as many times in a second as I did when that meteor lit out for the bay this morning. was going across the bay to the Oakland flats to set my nets, as l do most every morning. We'll, when I got opposite the island, all of 8 sudden it got so light that thought the whole Edison electric light business had exploded right over my head. pulled for the island as hard as I could, for have always had 8 holy horror of making fish ball of myself. I had not made two strokes when it got all-fred hot andI looked around and was just in time to see the grandest and terriblest sight these old eyes ever looked upon Not ten feet from me the meteor struck the water. It looked as large as a horse. When it struck you could have heard the hissinR almost mile. I never heard anything like it before. Almost as soon as it went under my boat was over the spot, and the water bubbling and steaming as though 8 young volcano had broken out"
 s.Do you think you could find the exact place where the meteor struck" asked the reporter.
 ssI don't know. As soon as daylight came went back to see how things looked, and found number of dead fish floating around I think it was about POO yards from the island, little east of south. I was so badly scared that can't say exactly"

Saving the Dogs at Niagara Falls.
From the Rochester Express.]

JF. Brown of Suspension Bridge on Thursday afternoon, by daring feat, suc- ceeded in rescuing two of the imprisoned canines who have subsisted for many weeks on the charity of spectators on Taylor's Is- land, in Niagara river, just below the Rail road Suspension Bridge.
 MT. Brown, by means of a rope sealing ladder, started on his perilous descent. He worked his way downward from crag to crag, having to aid him 8 small, light step-ladder, while from the summit of the gorge large crowd of nervous and anxious people watch ed him with bated breath and almost in si- lence. When he had reached the waters edge he waded through the shallow portions and swam across number of eddies, and at last, tired but hopeful, reached Taylor's Is- land.
 He found the dogs, but when he attempted to get near them they fled in dismay. A bag of meat was lowered from the top, a distance of about 200 feet, by the watching crowd, by means of which MT. Brown captured one of the dogs, little setter owned by Michael Barnet of Suspension Bridge, and which got into the rapids back of Winners mill above the rapids, two months ago. and was cast upon the island The setter was put into a bag and hauled to the top of the bank and set at liberty.
 A big red and white dog was hard to get, but was finally bagged and gent up to his home, friends and liberty.
 The third dog was so badly frightened by his unexpected pursuer that he hid among the caves among the rocks, and no amount of persuasion, not even good fresh meat, would induce him to come out He was abandoned. The gallant rescuer was cheer ed by messages sent him by the crowd. He reports that he found, besides the dogs, a fine breed of potato bugs on the island.

BOnrd OfHeaIth.

There was no quorum of Board of Health last evening, and hence no business was transacted. Some of the members were out of town and the excessive heat no doubt kept others away from the meeting. The Sanitary Inspector, who was present, stated that there was great need of effective work on the streets, which had been suspended on account of the appropriation for street work being exhausted. The action of the Board of Aldermen Monday evening has set this right and work will no doubt be commenced to-day in a vigorous manner, under the di- rection of City Inspector Doyle. The gut ters in many of the principal streets and the streets themselves are in a most filthy condi- tion, and hence the necessity of prompt action to save the city from a visitation of some serious disease.

Fashionable Elegance in Paris.

 There is no city in the world that has grown to such refnements in personal be- longings and in the arts of the toilet as Paris, and the actual status of 8 lady or gentleman, and particularly of lady, is much more clearly exhibited by her personal habits and surroundings than by her clothes. There is none ofzthe baroness even in hotels abroad that we are so apt to find at home, and the care which in hotels gives sofa and mantel and toilet drapery, lavatory furnish ed with elegance, draper1ed bed, and mirrors in abundance, in private life supple ments all with dozens of little niceties, all tending toward delicacy and an exquisite re- inement in the care of the person. There are dainty instruments, fine as jewels, for the care of the nails, the eyebrows, the teeth the skin, and even the ears. Brushes for all uses include dozen ivory-mounted and inclosed in satinwood, satin-Gned cases. Per- fumed waters are distributed from.crystal fasks with silver tops that can be graded for removal so as to give it in quantity or drop by drop. Softening creams and velvety pow ders are concealed in priceless little jars of Indian or old blue china, and gloves and mouchoirs are kept in cases that communi- cate to them a most indescribable odor, faint yet most delightful.

How it is all kept so pretty and fresh looking is a mystery, but the French woman gives her mind to the care of her body.
