tration by the body presided over by
Honest John. calls up some interesting
"reminiscences to the mind OF tha editor
Of the Silver State:
"Four years ago. when Hayes oecu-
pied the Office Of President. to which
every intelligent and unprejudiced citi-
zen now admits he was not constitu-
tionally elected, John Sherman. as Sec-
reinry Of the Treasury, caused the re-
moyal OF Arthur from the New York
Custom House, that the business Of the
Government might b. honestly admin
istsred. Two years later Ohio Rspub-
licans were denouncing Arthur aud
his Stalwart abettors hs tho
instigators of the assassination Of
President Garfield; but to-day, Sher-
man is q candidate for President, dnd
there is State election to be held in
Ohio, which the Administration Is eI-
pected TO influence more or less; SO
John Sherman presides in conven-
ton which indorses the man he re-
moved from n Federal Office for dishon-
esty, and the Republican leaders eulo-
gize the man whom they denounced two
years ago, with Conkling and other
Stalwart leaders, as having indirectly
caused the assassination OF the Presi-
dent. What will not politicians do 10

Perils of California Agriculture.

Briggs great orchard illustrates the
dangers of planting on riparian bot
toms in California. Briggs was offered
100000 for his orchard in Febru-
airy. 1t was on an afiluent of the
American river, that falls into the
Sacramentom miles below. He declined
selling. A few days later the whole
orchard was buried beneath ten thou
sand tons of coarse gravel and boulders
brought down in a rushing flood from
the auriferous gravel mines above. In
the twinkle of an eye every tree disap-
peared. Only here and there could be
seen treetop to indicate the locality
of the orchard which few months be-
fore was famous for its wealth of
varied fruitage. 1t is now forever de-
barred from resurrection by a dense
forest of willows thirty feet high COW
ering the whole surface. But the in
domitable. Briggs planted more extern
sively elsewhere, and he still leads in
fruit production and in successful
realization. In such a roaring flood on
American river, Sacramento, Smiths
extensive and most ornate public gar
dens, valued at 100000 an acre, were
swept away bodily, and the brother
owners were ruined. Every year such
floods destroy thousands of acres of
he richest bottoms along our rivers.

The Insect Population.

In 1S49 Alexander Won Humboldt
estimated the number of species of in
seets preserved in collection at between
one hundred and fifty to one hundred
and seventy thousand; Europe alone
being represented by more than three
times as many species of insects as of
phanerogamous plants. Ten years ago
DIR, Gerstacker estimated the number
of species of insects to be two hundred
and twenty-five thousand, five times
as many as the known species of all
other classes of animals together. If
we assume that there exists in the
whole world only three times as many
insects as there are phanerogamous
plants-the latest estimation of which
approaches two hundred and twenty
five thousand-we arrive at the start
ling sum Of about seven hundred and
fifty thousand. Bewildering as this
estimate appears, it is probably too
low. The oak alone gives shelter and
support to four hundred and fifty
species of insects, and the pine to more
than two hundred, and one moth alone
has thirty-iYe different species of para
sites. Without going any further in
our calculations we may quite safely
assert that, if the number of species of
all other classes Of animals should be
doubled by new discoveries-which is
rather improbable for some classes,
and quite impossible for the verte-
brates-the number of the species of
insects would be mOrs than five times
as many as that of all other animals
taken together.
