Visitation Of LOcustS
From The Peoria Tran script.

The locusts during the pact week or
two have appeared at various points in
Illinois. They had previously appeared
IN the South, in Georgia and other por-
tons Of the sunny land, as early as the
Goth of May. In Illinois and the North
they have confined themselves almost
exclusively to preying on orchards and
young timber In Southern Kentucky
they made their appearance from the
direction Of Tennessee, and are moving
down everything in their path. Great
fears are entertained that they will de-
stroy all the young timber. The inees-
SAINT droning is represented to be deafen-
ing. They are not combining their at
tention exclusively to young trees, but
are also engaged in destroying the cere-
al crops. In the Blue Grass region of
Kentucky the skirmish line has just
made its appearance, and much ankle
ty is felt as to the amount of damage
they will inhict in that favored country.
Their span of life, however, appears to
be short, they having disappeared from
the vicinity of, Atlanta, Ca, the spot
where they first appeared. At the lat
ter place they came out from holes IN
the ground, and Immediately proceeded
to crawl up trees and shubbery.

Of London on taking his seat at the
/ Mansion House, gave expression to
the strong sem . of sympany of the citi-
zens OF London for the distress occa-
stoned by the attempt on Garfield's
life.
/ Among the persons who inquired at
the American legation to-day regard
ing the condition of the President, have
been Lord Moyor of London, Dean
Stanley, Sir A. f. 1alt, Canadian Min
J lister resident in England, on behalf of
the Canadian government; Judge Pea
lbody, New York; Sir John A. MacDon
aid, Canadian Premier; Messrs. McCul-
Tough and Barrett, American actors,
and Lord Provost Of Edinburgh.
| The Pal Mall Gazette, in leading
article this morning, says: Indignation
is universal wherever English tongue
is spoken. The eager interest apd SYM
patty are intentifed by the feeling that
the latcs; victim Of the assassin is sep
arated by no wide gulf OF rank or caste
from the people over whom he ruled.
Conkling newspapers say he acted I'M
der disordered Imagination possibly
aleadv impressed by the examples Of
the recent assasinations. Apart from
the mediate bearings of the attempt
on American politics, the effect of the
crime will not be altogether evil. 1t
diminishes the political significance of
the assassination throughout the world
by the execration it has provoked, and
will to some extent counteract
the mischief caused by the
sympathy expressed by some parties
with other assassins by the sympathy
it has excited, will tend to knit together
the composite population of the Uni
ted States.
The st. James Gazette, this evening,
says: The news that Garfield has been
shot and lay dying gave d greater shock
to the public mind in England, than
any we remember for many years, 1t
was not so much like anger, pity or
paralysis. The feeling was perfectly
explicable The attempt seemed to
confirm the opinion produced by recent
events, that reckless violence is becom-
ing a recognized agent in politics; that
President Garfield, "a man of the people,
sagacious, right minded and blameless,
should also be marked down for muir
der, added much to the CONSERVATION;
but now that we know Of the matter,
we may allow ourselves to think little
less of it, even to the President him
self. Sure he is good citizen, rs well
as brave and considerable. Now it
must make some difference to know
that he owes his wounds to the craze
of a vain, half demented creature, with
brains muddled with politics, and not
to the calculations Of political malice.
QUEENSTOWN, July 4. = The town
commissioners will forward through
the council resolution Of sympathy
with President Garfield. 1t describes
Garfield for the time rs the chief ruler
of a majority of the Irish people.

MONTREAL, July A strong feeling
is evoked here at the attempted assas-
sination of Garfield, which has not
abated in the least.
Crowds surround the bulletin boards
and telegraph offices to learn the latest
news. Newspapers denounce the crime
and express sympathy with the Presl-
dent. The city council adopted a reso-
luton of coincidence with the Presi-
dent and people of the United States.
1t was proposed by Alderman Grenier,
and seconded by Alderman G. Stevens,
and carried unanim ously.

ARTHUR's MOVEMENTS.
New YORK, July 4.-The Times
Washington special says: Vice Presi-
dent Arthur remained all day at the
residence Of Senator Jones. He has
received messages from time to time,
showing the condition Of the president.
Quite a number'of persons called at
the house, but many did not succeed
in seeing the vice president, who was
apparently not in good health. TO
tell the truth Mr.. Arthur has suffered
severely in mind since receiving the
news OF the shooting of the president.
Opportunities for misrepresentation
have been so many it would be surpris-
ing if some were not taken adj
vantage Of The statements which
have been made about him, the Times
correspondent has good reasons for be-
leving to be untrue. His demeanor
while in this city has been as carefully
watched as possible for a president.
His actions have been made the subject
Of very general scrutiny, and those who
have observed most closely are loudest
in their praises of his conduct. He is
not disposed 10 complain and does not
of many un rair criticisms which have
been made principally by men
who were piqued because he
was not approachable by them,
as they or their dignity deemed he
should be, is in fact not in condition
to complain. He was stunned at the
announcement of the attempt to assas-
sinate, and he is still in kind Of stu
por. He sees, Of course, what is going
on, and has not lost possession Of his
faculties, but he is overwhelmed by
the magnitude of the calamity, and Of
tasks which he may be called on to
perform.
