THE M" UPON THE DOLLAR" They

mel A Loudon Snowden, of the Philadel
phia Mint the other day, when shown
clipping from New York paper, in which
the discovery of the initial letter of the en-
graver's name on the standard silver dollar
was called humiliation OF the de- and
spoken of as an extraordinary fact. THE
fact is, it is the custom in every country
and among all engravers to place upon
the die some mark which will always show

the Colonel continued, displaying two s.
franc pieces; you will see one of them
was coined under the empire and one

THE DEVASTATING lIoPPERs.-From all
directions come reports that grasshoppers
are numerous and doing great damage.
The Marysville appeal says \ gentleman
who has been over the road between this
place and Red Bluff reports the gfaSshop-
perS are very numerous in places as the
foothills are ncared. Chipmans vineyard
has been completely stripped of leaves and
fruit and the hoppers are now at work on
Mr. Washington vineyard, which is only
two or three hundred yards from that of
Governor Stanford's at Nina. Strange to
say they have not attacked the latter. The
grasshopperS are small, and ditch of water
surrounds the Governors place. 1t is prob
able they cannot cross the water. The pests
are quite thick along the railroad. Just south
of Yuba station, and are working in a
southerly direction.
The Gait GGzeftc of Saturday says The
grasshoppers are playing havoc to an alarm
ing extent over the country surrounding
Clay Station especially north and east OF
that point The pests have not attained
their full growth yet, and seem TO content
themselves in travelling in a Southeasterly
direction rather than combining themselves
TO the total destruction of vegetation. In
some localities. however, they are quite
mlScmevous and are nipping the growing
crops ana grape vines. The community
where they most predominant is beginning
to feel very uneasy, and entertain fears of
losing the growing crops So numerous
are these dotructful creatures that they
impede travel of trains on tine Amador
Branch Railroad and last Tuesday the
train was delayed some twenty minutes
passing the grant liue at point near CLAW
Station. by their innumerable presence.
Should the dangerous -up-everything
pests continue their onward march and in
crease, the farming community will have
reason TO complain, and this section of the
country will suffer irreparably.n

OUR INSIGNIFICANT EARTH.-It is only
when we regard our globe as a member of
the planetary system, and that system in
turn as a unit among systems, that we real
ize how infinitesimal are its concerns, and
how really Insignificant it is. We may,
for practical purposes, consider the orbit
of Neptune as the circumference of our
planetary system, with diameter of about
five billions Of miles. But if we could
suppose this vast area converted into a
solid globe, instead of being empty space
as now, and given highly luminous sur
face, it would appear to an observer upon
the very nearest fixed star no larger than a
half-dOllar piece at a distance of some two
hundred feet from a human eve.
