The YioItntc Locust.

The gardens and pastures now are vocal with insect music. Our common meadow grasshopper's generic name signifies literally ''I dance in the meadow" Their sharp, stri- dent calls are emitted by the males, and are produced by the friction of the overlapping wing-covers. Rising above the whizzing, whirring sounds of the grasshoppers and the crickets, which increase as the summer wanes, comes the shril violin tones of the locust
 - ''marvelously delighting the hearers, filling their minds with a train of summer ideas of everything that is rural verdurous and joyous.'' Their instruments may be lik- ened to violins, their hind legs being the bows and the projecting veins of their wing covers the strings. People of fashion in Spain keep these insects, which they call grillo, in cages for the sake of their music Hartford Times.

 Arrivals From New Raven-The
 Bankers Convention.
 SARATOGA, Aug. 15.-The grand rush to Saratoga is on the increase. We are informed that the United States Hotel Wednesday had to refuse the applications of two hundred people, and this at $5 day apiece is quite an item to be obliged to decline, but people are coming and going. Some days about as many depart as arrive, so that it keeps the Saratoga population pretty evenly balanced during the busy season.
 New arrivals from New Haven are: At the United States Hotel-Mrs. J. English, Miss English, H. O. Hotchkiss, Miss Hotchkiss, Justin S. Hotchkiss and wife; American Hotels. w. Hur1burt and family; Colum- bia Hotel-Dr. Mailhouse, w. M. Anthony; Continental Hotel-Mrs. Stockwell and daughter.
 The American Bankers association com menced it's convention here on the 14th inst A very large representation of prominent bankers of the United States were present. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Harper, of Philadelphia, and was followed by the inaug ura1 address by President Gage, of Chicago. The address was quite lengthy and embodied much of practical interest to the business man. He spoke of the great importance to fnanciers of the establishing at a proper point a grand library which should contain all the valuable literature upon banking, general finance and political economy, and in it should be collected the published statis- tics of all the governments of the civilized world. Such library would be standing invitation to scholars from all countries to explore it's hidden treasure and would thus IL II I,e- in acquiring the information such store house would contain. Among the various speakers on banking subjects and general finances was MT. George A. Butler of the Tradesmens bank of New Haven, who spoke forcibIy on the resolution offered relative to to Congress the discontinu- ance of the silver dollar coinage (of 412115 grains) MT. Butler concurred with the sentiments of the resolution and thought that the coinage of silver should be suspended until other countries joined with the United States. The convention has been @ success.

The Army Nm RrfdgeDort.

The Salvation Army meeting at the depot last evening was more than usually repellant in some of it's features, made so, however, by the crowd of roughs who take delight in de riding and mocking these servants of the Lord. The captain pushed man out of the way, and the man retorted with two heavy blows. The captain did not knock him down as might have been expected. When the Army marched on through the streets they were followed by a yelling, hooting crowd. Such spectacles are demoralizing. If the Army must parade they should have an or derly passage through the streets by the aid of police protection Bridgeport Post.
