view published in the Posi-, says there are
two broods of locusts. One appears every
thirteen years and the other every seven
teen years. BY coincidence both broods
are to appear together this year, but not
in the same places.
SIN what localities ," was asked.
THE seventeen-year locusts," the pro-
lessor replied, >" will be particularly plen-
tiful in Marquette and Green Lake coun-
ties, Wisconsin. and may also appear in
the western part of North Carolina, in
northeast Ohio, and few in Lancaster
county. Pennsylvania, and Westminster
county, New York. They will also be
abundant in the neighborhood Of Wheel
ing, and will probably extend down into
Maryland, Virginia, and the District. OF
this, however, am not quite sure: The
thirteen-year brood will in all probability
appear in southern Illinois, throughout
Missouri with the exception of the north
western corner, in Louisiana, Arkansas,
Indian Territory, Kentucky. Tennessee,
Alabama, Georgia, and North and South
Carolina"

The Effects Of Mental Exhaustion

Many diseases, especially those of the nervous
system, are the products of daily renewed mental
exhaustion. Business avocations often involve an
amount of wear and tear very prejudicial to ply
steal health, and the professions if arduoutly pur
sued are no less destructive to brain and nerve
tissue. 1t is of the NEST important attributes
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters that it compen-
safes for this undue loss of tissue and that it i'm
parts new energy to the brain and nerves. Tho
rapidity with which it renews weakened mental
energy and physical vitality is remarkable, and
shows that ita inyigorating properties are of tho
highest order. Besides increasing vital stamina,
and counteracting the effects of mental exhsus-
ton, this potential medicine cures and prevents
fever and ague, rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia
and constipation, kidney and uterine weakness and
other complaints. Physicians also commend it as
q indicated stimulent and remedy.

English walnuts; beets, carrots, onions,
cucumbers and lettuce, are luxuries
nearly unknown here. The dust and
dirt are fearful. I cannot describe it
and do justice to the subject. 1t fills
your eyes, nose and ears and mats your
hair and whiskers; and as for clothes,
the natives, who wear none, have the
advantage, as the water is hard and
miserable, full of dirt, and sells for six
ty cents per barrel for washing purpos-
es; and as for drinking, something
stronger is the common beverage here.
But the diamonds! 1t is truly land of
diamonds. Already over $l25, 100000
have been discovered. In the late war
one of the chiefs (Saccahuni) offered a
quart measure full of diamonds for a
cannon. Claims of thirty-one square
feet have sold for $4S, 1000 per claim.
The mines are all worked by large
companies. The largest is French
company. The manager informed me
that their expenses were $4,000 a
month: They take out of their claims
four hundred loads of diamondiferous
earth per day, worth on an average
$l4.40 per load. There are several
large companies in the same mine. A
mile and half from here is another
mine called old De Beers mine. Three
miles further there is one called Du
Tait's Pan, and one mile from that is
another called Bulpantein. All these
are extensively worked by large COM
panies.
Bulpantein mine was originally a
farm, on which was built a brick house
and on the discovery Of diamonds the
house was found to contain the pre-
cious gems in the plaster used to lay
the brick, and in the plastered walls,
while the children played with what
they called the "shiny stones" There
has recently been diamond mine dis
covered eight miles from here, called
ELEPHANTS Fantein. Claims to the
number Of nine hundred have been
surveyed and sold in that mine, and
people here are wild with speculation.
An acquaintance of mine bought
claims in Jnger's Fantein mine, forty
miles from here, which cost him 800,
and in a short time he was offered $685.
600 for said claim.
1t seems that men are like bubbles
the world over. Some 60 up and ex-
plode financially, the exploding portion
being by far the most numerous. The
penalty for buying diamond of a ne
gro is five years Imprisonment at hard
labor and fine of $2,40O for the first
off'ense, and ten years for the second.
And yet the temptation is so great that
of a population of 16, 900 there over 600
now in prison for illicit diamond buying
and diamond stealing. Some of the
prisoners are worth $4,000 to $500, 900.
Surely, the way of the transgressor is
hard.

FROM the published correspondence
between the United States and Canada
in relation to the rights of wreckers, it
seems that the course of Canada has
not only been unwarranted, but in di-
rect violation of existing treaties and
agreements, to say nothing Of the laws
of humanity. The understanding is
that any vessel may assist any other
in distress, no matter in what waters,
in cases where delay may cause loss OF
life or cargo, yet whenever an Amerl-
can vessel has undertaken to render
assistance to crafts wrecked on Cana
dian shores the act has been followed
by seizure and fine. In one instance,
a fine of s40O was imposed upon an
American tug which went to the relief
of stranded schooner, several mem
bers Of whose crew had frozen to

The Lions Tongue.
Land and Water,

Lana ana W atef.
The very peculiar formation of the
lions tongue did not escape the notice
of our anatomist, but he does not say
very much about it. 1 have now in
my hand the dried tongue of lion; it
is covered with sharp, pointed, horny
papilla, set very thickly upon its sur
face. The papilln on the front portion
of the tongue are much larger than
those in the rear part ofthe tongue, but
the smaller ones are much closer to-
&c ther than those in front. Each pa
pila consists ola horny spine, the point
of curved and set directly backward,
reminding me much ofthe spines on
the tail of the thornback ray. On ap-
plying this lions tongue to the cheek,
l find that the roughness is so great
that with little pressure wound
might easily be made in the human
skin. The use of this is to scrape off
the meat from the bones Of the ami
mails, for the lion is not a great bone
eater, he leaves the bones for the hye-
mas to crack, those animals having teeth
especially constructed for the cracking
of bones. This peculiar roughness of
the tongue is also present, but in less
degree, in the common cat, and it can
be seen when the cat is tapping milk,
but still better if the tongue of de-
funct specimen be taken out, put for a
while in spirits, and then pinned out
tight on board. This rough tongue
is of great importance to the health Of
the lion.

The frequency with which domestic
ouarrels between man and wife are set
tied with double-murders is startling.
The last instance is that Of German
farmer in Christian county, ILL.,, named
Vortren, who, as the result of a quar-
rel, shot his wife and then shot himself.
At least a dozen of such cases have
been reported in different parts of this
country within few months past.

WINTER IN ENGLAND.
A Lively Description OF Nee
TnSDirlt1OE Scene.

"A Lively description Oh Nee. An
Inspirlt1nE Scene.
A writer in BLdckvoods Magazine
says: 1t has become apparent that the
weather has fairly broken, and there
is even some prospect of scent on the
grass and the fallows. There is a gen
eral coming, up from all parts of the
country, for, though squires and farm
ershave had their more serious avoca-
tons to distract them, yet too have
been vexing their souls over missed
chances of sport. Each man is on the
q1ai uive. and the horses are decidedly
more so than agreeable. Even the
cover-hacks seem to have quicksilver
in their heels which is all very well;
and the horses in the vehicles of many
fashions which are pressing forward to
the muster are tossing the foam about
their chests and rattling their frothing
curb-chains. Sober old hunters, war
ranteo steady when sold, and carrying
certificates Of irreproachable character
in their faces and ordinary demeanor,
are INDUCING in gay and unaccustomed
gambols, while the giddier youngsters,
although they may" be free from
vice. are showing themselves playful
as kittens, and as full of tricks as so
many monkeys. We think it is Mr..
Benjamin Buckram who remarks in
/" Mr. Sponge's Tour in discussing the
character of the redoubted Hercules,
that if gentleman gets split it does
mt much argufy" whether it is done
from play or vice. And not few gen
tlemen now seem to be much that way
Of thinking, as their mounts, catching
the contagion or excitment in the
crowd, disport themselves like fresh
caught mustangs from the Texan prai-
ries. Here is silken-coated young
one on his muscular hind legs grace
fully improving on the antics of q dan
cling bear, and threatening to topple
back upon rider who has scarcely
nerve to bring him back to his bearings.
Another, arching his crest and tucking
in his launches, shows an English
edition of the Australian buck-jumping
trick, while most of them are lightly
laying back their ears, or shooting
flashes out of the corners of their eyes
and not q few are unpleasantly ready
with their heels. But if it is oil in good
temper on the part of the steeds, the
same can hardly be said of the riders.
The josting, and the chance of q hum.
iliating accident, throw some gentle.
men off mental balance who are al
ready uneasy as to the " safety ofseats, y
and it would appear that some lowering
clouds are fitting across the general
hilarity. But the hospitality Of the
worthy master brings incipient unkind.

An Ungratefml Colony.

Bearing in mind that Canada is a
dependency ofthe British crown, and
that her governor general is appointed
by the English ministry for the time
being, the speech made by the mar
quis of Lorne in opening the Domin
ion parliament, few days ago, sug-
gests at first sight a striking incongru-
ity of position and sentiment. He
congratulated both houses on the pros
perity Of Canada, and pointed out that
the new tariff had promoted its manu-
features and commerce, besides in
creasing its revenue. He further said
that parliament had been summoned
earlier than the usual time, in order
to decide as to the carrying out of the
Pacific railway, contracts for which
had been entered into with European
and American capitalists. Now, the
tariff which Lord Lorne or his advisers
think so beneficial, is strongly protec-
ZIONIST in character, and bears with
special severity on English manufac-
turers. 1t may be remembered that a
deputation waited upon Sir John Mac
donald when here last autumn and re-
monstrated with him on this very sub
ject, receiving a somewhat oft-hand
reply. The Canadians will take as
many millions of money as England
will lend them for the construction of
their transcontinental railway, yet their
fiscal policy is, so far as the mother
country is concerned, anything but FL
ial or friendly, being avowedly based
on the model of the United States,
which foster home manufactures by
excluding, except at high duties, the
products Of foreigners Britain
being the chief of these. This very
one-sided sort of reciprocity is favored
in Canada, which is sedulously build
ing up cotton-spinning and other in
dustries designed to supply all the do
minion without recourse to England.
In the long run neither country is ben
Gifted by such a policy, yet it is the
hard fate Of the marquis of Lorne, a
native of one and the official head of
the other, to express approval.

away from this city shortly before o'clock yesterday morning with about one thousand people on board. The boat reached New London early in the afternoon and secured its station in the harbor, but as little could be seen of the sham battle, which was already far advanced, or in fact anything else owing to the peculiar hay or foggy state of the atmosphere (which hung all over the water and land and delayed the passage) there was grand rush for Groton by the excursionists as soon as landing could be effected. The ferryboats plying between New London and Groton were perfectly iammsd with passengers, jam does not begin
 to describe it, and many people, much as they wanted to cross, were afraid to venture
 in such dense crowd. A guard
 of soldiers was finally stationed on
 the New London side to prevent people
 from crowding on the boats, or crossing, as
 already more had crossed than the boats
 could bring back. The Second and the oth- CT regiments had to wait an hour on the Groton side before they could be transported across the river. The rush to Groton was far larger than the most sanguine had antlcl' pated, and consequently the means for trans poftation were inadequate, but the affair was grand success. Not an accident is reported and all praise is given the committees for their unwearying and able efforts. AS anoth:
 that Valley railroad train of nine cars had ], 1000 passengers on board, about 500 more
 than could be seated.
 The Elm City did not reach this city until nearly o'clock this morning.

ALtveIy Time in Milford

The machinery and tools of the Inter- changeable Tool company. of Milford, that went to New York by the Rosedale from Bridgeport Monday, were seized on their ar- rival by New York deputy sheriff who still holds them. All the machinery in the com pany's works had been seized upon two att tachments, one lot being attached by Q United States marshal. The latter were taken to the barn of D. W: Fisher in Milford, and Mir. Fisher was appointed their keeper. The other lot was removed to the premises of Sheriff Miles. Sunday night at two o'clock the barn in Milford where the tools and ma- chinery were was raided upon in the interest of one of the parties and the stuff transferred to wagons. MT. Fisher was aroused and fired pistol at the intruders. He finding out that tn ey were hired servants let them go. The machinery and tools were taken by steamer to New York from Bridgeport, and they were to be seized on their arrival there.

A Curious Sky.

The sun yesterday morning for time was of light pink color, and the sky was of a yellowish or brassy color. Up Boston way the telegraph dispatches say the sky was of ''an old gold color,'' but Boston is always ses- thetic.
 It was weird sky, that of yesterday morn ing, and nervous ladies kept at home to avoid the ''crash." It was one of the most singular atmospheric effects ever seen in old Connecti- cut since the famous ''Dark Day" of May, 17SO. It was the fourth consecutive dark day with rain seemingly close at hand. At the entire sky was filled with the strange pale yellow effect. It grew more and more marked till 10. The light on the grass was unearth- ly. The explanation of the business is prob ably the great pail of smoke from the great forest fires and the excessive vapor. It was a bad kind of day for the sight seeing at Gro- ten, as many hundreds of New Haven people can testify.

Police Notes.

Patrick McNamara kicked up row with his wife yesterday, and created such breach of the peace that his arrest followed : Timothy Hushen was drunk last evening and when Officer Maurice Higgins went to arrest him he resisted seriously. He will have to answer before the City Court this morning.
 At about half past twelve o'clock last night @x-Mayor William R. Shelton was placed un- der arrest and brought to the station house. He was arrested under two charges, one of seduction, the other of being party to pro- curing an abortion, both referring to young lady of this city, Miss Mary Hartenstein,s aged 19 years The warrants were drawn by Lucius P. Deming, the assistant city attor noy. Bonds in $1, 900, $500 in each case, wore given by responsible party. It is to be hoped that the charges will prove un- founded and Mir. Shelton be exonerated. As yet suspension of judgment is proper until all the facts are heard. A warrant was also issued for the arrest of Dr. Brown, who is charged with being party in the matter.
