Grasshoppers in Mexico.

PAso DEL NoRTE, Mexico, Sept. 15.-.
Wealthy residents of Vera Cruz who have
recently fled from that city to escape the
ravages of yellow fever say that the State
of Vera Cruz is being Invested Of its crops
by myriads of grasshoppers, which made
their appearance the latter part of Au-
gust. They are similar to the Kan
sas grasshoppers, but smaller and
more destructive. They devour every
thing green, even to the tender shoots of
trees. The bean crop, the main reliance of
the population, has been entirely destroyed
in localities over which the insects have
passed. which will entail great distress and
suffering upon the poorer classes The
grasshoppers have appeared in great clouds
in other southern States of Mexico, where
their deyastations are reported TO be equally
as destructive as in Vera Cruz.

A New Postal Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA Merchants who
are working to build up trade in Mexico
will be gratifed to learn that there will
very shortly be considerable reduction in
the postage rates OH all mail addressed to
points in our neighboring Republic. At
present the rate charged on Mexican mail
is the regular international rate-five cents
per half ounce for letters, but inside of a
month or two it is expected this will be
reduced so that all matter directed to
Mexico will go at the regular domestic rate
of this country-two cents per ounce, which
is Just one-ffth of what is now charged A
little less than year ago-that is, on
October 20, 1SS4-a new postal treaty be-
tween the United States and Mexico was
agreed to, but under the laws of Mexico
had to be submitted to the Mexican Senate
before going into effect. In the United
States the approval of Postmaster Gen
eral Hatton and President Arthur was all
that was required, and it was calculated
that the confirmation of the Mexican Senate
could be secured in time to put the treaty
into effective operation on the 1st of last
January. There has been unexpected de-
lay in Mexico, however, though it is
thought the necessary action will soon be
taken and new date be fixed for the treaty
to go into effect. vy sE.f .Fr IL
