Prof Riley, the entomologist, with
saying that the sezenteen=year To-
Gusts win abound next June in Mar
quette and Green Lake. counties,
Wisconsin, in the neighbofhood of
Wheeling, West Virginia, and proba-
bly, in Maryland, Virginia and the
District of Columbia. They may
also appear, he says, in the west
part of North Carolina, in North
eastern Ohio, Lancaster county, Pa,
and West Chester county, New
York. There are two broods of
these periodical locusts, one appear
ing once in seventeen years, and the
other once in thirteen, Both broods
will appear this year, but not in the
same localities. The Professor says
that the thirteen year brood win
probably be seen in Southern Illi-
nois, in all of Missouri except the
northwest corner, in louisiana, Ar
kansas, Indian Territory, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, North Carolina and South
Carolina. The two kinds of locusts
differ very little in appearance.

KENTUCKY SADDLE STALLION.

f. w. Taylor, Jr., Of this county
and w. S. Shields, Of Granger coun-

Clark county, Kentucky, the cele-
brated Kentucky saddle stallion,
Saddler, and he is now on his way
to Tennessee to make the season OF
1881 at Greenwood farm near Rus
sellville and Clinehdale farm near
Beams Station. Saddler is said to
be horse of fine style and action,
high breeding, and goes all the gaits
naturally, and is considered one OF
the most elegant saddle horses Of the
blue grass region. lie made a large
and successful season in Kentucky
last year and is probably the best
bed saddle horse ever brought %
Tennessee. Mr.. Vanmeter, in his
letter, speaks of Saddler and his fam
lily thus
~ have bred the stock from which
he is descended for more than thirty
years, and every one Of them have
been extra good for the saddle
and l believe Saddler will get a good
saddle animal from any well bred ac-
tive mare, as / know from a personal
acquaintance with the stock that his
dam, grand dam, and great grand
dam, as well as his sire, grand sire,
great grand sire and great great
grand sire were all first class saddle
animals. His dam was the best
saddle mare that / ever rode, and
his grand sire was the best saddle
horse that | ever rode. This horse
goes the saddle gaits naturally and
well without training and is very
stylish
The stallion viii arrive in a few
days and will be shown at Rutledgc
on the first Monday in March and
at Morristown on the first Monday
in April. The price of service will
be placed at figures so reasonable no
to allow any one who desires 10

celebrated stallion.

cHLLI AND PERUBOLTHIA WAR.

CHILL AND PERUBOLTVTA WAR
The terms of peace which Chill
proposes to force upon Peru and
Bolivia are extremely onerous. The
principal points are: The cession OF
certain Peruvian territory; the sur
render of the fleets of the two de-
feated States the payment of an
Indemnity of $4,000, 900, of which
$2O,OOO,O 900 is demanded of Peru
and $1O,0OO,OOO of Bolivia. The
Chillians also propose to occupy
Callao, which is the seaport of Lima,
the port Of the latter having been
destroyed by an earthquake in 1746.
One of the most humihating and
onerous of the terms proposed to be
imposed by the conqueror, however,
is that Chill is to work the guanO
deposits, also the Peruvian copper
mines, and, worse than all, the nitre
deposits of Terabaca, concerning
the disposition of which the war
originally arose. The present terms
Of peace are of such character
that, if imposed upon her, Peru will
hereafter virtually cease to be an
independent State

GAINESVILLE TobAcco-Leaf.
We have been gratiied at-theun-
form courtesy and kindly treat
ment which Senator Bailey has re-
ceived at the hands of the press of
Tennessee dufing the recent Sena-
torial contest at Nashville. He Is
our own citizen He has reflected
credit upon his native city as web
as upon his native State. We say
again that it has been a source of
much pleasure to US to read SO
many favorable endorsements of
him as man and as public officer.
One or two papers have undertaken
to sneer at his course in allowing
his name to remain before the Leg
islature as long as it did, but they
have been papers that had no par
ticular influence. The following
from the MurJreesboro Ncocs is gen
tlemanly, and in refreshing contrast
to the remarks on the same subject
made by one or two small yelpers
Of the State:
x K x While some others, who
coveted his seat in the Senate, were
endeavoring to curry public favor,
either by pandering to popular
prejudice, or by Sinking the re
sponsibilities of station and main
tanning a crafty silence, he raised
his voice in the advocacy of a cor
rect state policy. He believed it
his duty to do this much, and it was
eminently proper that he should do
it. For such audacity his fate was
decreed. The leaders of the oppos-
ing party faction demanded his re-
tirement and they had the power to
prevent his election. Their revenge
may be sweet, but it is petty, and
lacks every element Of the heroic.
We are glad Mr.. Bailey did not
write one of those elusive, trangpa-
rent letters of withdrawal, which
have become so common. His de-
feat needed no explanation. 1t does
not affect his standing as an able
and pure minded statesman. Under
the circumstances, it rather re-
bounds to his credit.
