a Plague of Insects.

New Orleans is suffering from an in
vasion of insects. They come at night
and are everywhere, but are most nu-
merous around electric lights. The pests
are so thick that people in the streets
arr obliged TO steer clear of the lights or
dodge under them. Millions of little in
sects cover the sidewalks, IN some places
deeply, making g most dIsagreeable
sound as they are crushed 10 death un-
der foot. Not only this, they fill the
eyes and nose and drop down in ones
neck, with sn unpleasant wriggliDg and
tickling. At the theaters and other
places one night last week 1t became
necessary TO extinguish the electric lights
in order to end the insect attack. They
are said to come from the swamps
around New Orleans borne in by the
wind. The Times-Democrat says the
plague is increasing every year.

now being 80 extensively signed
throughout the state as to Quantrell
raid petition. Il ie a petition tor the
state 10 assume the certificates tor losses
by raids into Kansas during the years
1852 3-5, by guerillas and maurauders
SAID certificates were issued by q com
mission, appointed by the state legisla-
ture in 1875, and the commission sat al

places, and audited claims for depre-
datiOns committed in johnson, Miami,

gomery and other border counties; the
burning. sackIng and raiding of Hum
boldt, Gardiner, Mound City, Olsthe and
many other places, by other bands of
guerillas besides Quantrell's. The i'm
preston that it is simply for Quantrell's
RAID into Lawrence, is erroneous. As
it now stands il is for the relief of the
whole state. AS duTng the past twenty
years those who have lost property have
moved and scattered oyer our state, un-
til we find them In more
than forty counties of Kansas
and have petitions in the hands of losers
DY Inc Idlu IN oil OI IDOSc COuQJleS, anu
although the impression is abroad that
1t is all for Lawrence, we wish to state
that if payment is made for the certlfl-
Gates issued by the commissioner, there
will more go into the other counties IN
the state than into this county. Topeka,
Leavenworth, WyandOtte, EmporIs,
Olathe, Humboldt and Fort Scott will
each get from 1000 to $50, 900, besides
various amounts In their counties out
side OF their city limits. Wichita, Dodge
City, Ottawa, Mound City, Garnett,
each haYe from s., 900 to sec, 900; Atchi.
SOD, Doniphan, Morris, Usage and Sedg-
wick counties haYe good amounts. We
therefore wish the correction made that
it may counteract the impression that
this payment is for the benefit of Law
renee only. 1t is for the benefit of the
Wholesale, and from correspondence in
the hands of the committee, from secre-
teries of states that have paid their raid
claims, and from our senators and repre-.
sentatives in congress. we have no doub;
but the general government will REIN.
burse the state of Kansas for all monies
paid for these raids.
