THE SEvENTEEN-YEAR LocusTs ~ 1886
Statements that have been made to The effect that
the seventeen year locusts due this Summer

seventeen-year locust appeared in 1851, 1865,
and will appear again during the middle Of May.
in 1856. few specimens of tho loeusts may be
found during May, 1884, but they will be mem
bers of different brood. Most people seem to
think that the seventeen-year locust occur, but
every seventeen years in this county. This is
all wrong, since it is found every year. but only
occurs at intervals of seventeen years in any given
locality. This year is the season for the seven
teen year locust5 in Virginia.; next yeh- :s.the
season for she seventeen year l0custs in Maryland

DEATH OF TIE CHEVALIER NIKOFF.-
The Chevalier Wikolf, who had stoke Of
paralysis recently, died yesterday morn
ing at Brighton, England Henry WikoG
was born in Philadelphia ucarly seventy
years ago, and in early life was admitted to
the bar after which he became IL traveller,
and called HIMSELF citizen OF the world.
Flo obtained his title Of ''Chevulier" by .an.
tlerng some skilful service to royalty, and
was made knight commander Of a Spanish
order. For over forty years he WAS Il IA
.uilar figure in Europe, trequentiug the
best society and being made much of hy
diplomats, journalists and the stars Of the
stage. He wrote many books. Some of
the Chevaier's personal associations were
rs remarkable as they were unusual. His
devotion to the late Napoleon III began
many years ago. He visited him when ne
WAS a prisoner at the Castle OF Ham, in
1915, five years before he was made prcsi
dent of France, and wrote biography and
personal recollections'' of him in 1919.
Very near him when he became Emperor,
he enjoyed large advantages during the
brilliant era between the coup dc etat OF
1851 and the fight after the fall Of Sedan,
III 1871. Once more in exile, Louis Ma
poleon had no more devoted supporter than
Wikoff. A characteristic Of this citizen OF
the world was his attachment to celebrated
people. His early relations with Fanny Ellis
Ter, marked by bitter quarrel with James
Gordon Bennett, Of the New York Herald
closed in the warmest friendship with the
veteran journalist, which remained liu-
broken down to his death. The Chevalier
Wikof belonged TO a school fast passing
away.

Mason. the Crank.

JAMES NJ. Mason, who was here in Rich.
mond last winter as the agent of the hold
ers OF West Virginia certificates, is now
doing all he can to iniure Mr.. WILSON, the
Democratic candidate for Governor Of West
Virginia. MASON ought to be fired out OF
the State. For any public man to favor his
scheme would be Il sufficient reason for sus-
pecting that such man was interested in
that famous, that ridiculous scheme. The
jockey who asked two hundred and fifty
dollars for his horse, but who accepted
ten dollars, not wishing to stand on
trifes, Is MAsON's eXemplar. The debt OF
West Virginia, according to him, is many
millions, but he and his syndicate associates
are willing to accept very small percent
age of the whole amount. One million OF
dollars would perhaps ease their con-
sciences and induce them to own that West
Virginia was an honest state, or perhaps
good deal less.
II is charged that MASON is seriously
damaging MIR. WILSON by representing him
as a friend Of his (MASoN'sl scheme.

the nomination OF Croyton. | am neither
sore nor sour. which probably might be
inferred from tie statement in the Rich

worthy. and available. and, as the nominee
Of the Democratic party, am supporting
him cheeifully. candidIy, and theoretically.
He will be elected. our district will be
represented in the next Congress by Crox-
ton. and no other I'm Virginia or elsewhere
will have q more faithful aud efficient re-
preventative.

have supported any one whom that COnyen-
ton might have given the honor Of its nomi-
nation, for am IA Democrat,and as such re-
cognize and appreciate the fact that the

These new CHARGES against the South are
but part and parcel Of the old stock oil Sec
tionalism upon which the Republican party
has lived Der since It was born. IT has
succeeded whenever and wherever it has
succeeded at all by the bascst appeals to
sectional prsjudices. In 1856, In 1850, In
1854. In 1868, in 1872, IN 1876. In 1880, the
Republican party risked its success upon
these appeals to sectional preiudices. BE-
fore the war the southern people were
abused as aristocrats and shareholders,
and rs contomners Of poor men. and as
cracking the lash over the northern people.
Now oil is changed. They are abused be-
