sects. The egg-laden bodies of females Of
Alta cephalotes are industriously collect
ed by Indians in South America, and the
taste of their roasted and sailed bodies
has been appreciated even by Europeans.
The African negroes can hardly get
enough Of termites, which are eaten fried
at the Cape and in other regions are
made into cakes. Roasted termites taste
somewhat like marrow or sweet cream.
The seventeen-year locust has been eaten
in North America, and is said to have
been used in soap.making. Cakes are
made in Mexico with the eggs of two
kinds of water bugs. A cake made in
Fezzan of insect eggs is described as hav.
ing the taste of cavaire.
The Romans were fond of larva
which they called cossus. A favorite
dish is prepared in Jamaica from the
larva of a beetle that lives in the trunks
of palm trees. Another wood insect is
preserved in sugar by the Chinese and
Malays, and liquor is made, with the
addition of some water, from a beetle in
Mexico. Caterpillars are eaten in Aus
tralia and at the Cape, at the risk Of wo-
full pains in the stomach, and even spi.
ders, abhorred by every other race, are
eaten by the Hottentots and New Gale
domains, with the same liability. Worms
are accepted as food by very few people.
A kind of grub is collected and eaten in
Brazil, and nereid worm in Somoa, and a
rced.worm by the Amos of Japan. The
Australians around Port Adelaide are
said to have lived exclusively on worms
and mollusks, while they abhorred beef.
Some persons in Naples eat tape.worm,
parasite of the carp, fried in oil, and
call it by the name Of macuroni patti.
Sea.urchins form quite important item
in the cookery of some lands, and are
popular in some Of the Mediterranean
districts of Europe. Vestiges Of them
are found among the remains of feasts Of
Pompeii, and 100, dozen of them are
still sold in the markets of Marseilles
every year. They, with holothurias,
form important items in the food con.

1t is conceded, we believe, that the
Lick telescope, when completed and
mounted in the observatory prepared fol
it at Mount Hamilton, will be the largest
instrument OF the kind in the world.
The whole country feels an interest in
having this splendid telescope put in
place. 1t is understood that the lenses
have been successfully cast and only
need polishing to be ready for use. In
looking through the telescope it ia reck.
oned that the moon will be brought
within thirty miles of the earth, and that
discoveries will be made on that planet
to solve problems that have heretofore
been held to be unsolvable.

A telegram recently received from
Alliance, Ohio, illustrates is a forcible
manner how the roller.skating craze has
taken possession of the people of that
town. The story has just leaked out
that a well.known married lady, who
has long been a regular skater at the
rink, was suddenly taken i'll while skat-
ing, and a physician was summoned.
Her condition was apparent, and sug-
gestion was made that her skates be re-
moved. This she objected to positively,
saying she had an engagement to waltz
when the music began playing. A few
minutes later she gave birth to twins.

A stage was upset in Apologize Creek
in southern Oregon the other day by a
rush Of salmon. The horses were cut
loose and the driver escaped on their
backs. The salmon crowded the river
from bank to bank, and the school was
over a mile long. Hundreds Of them
jumped out upon the banks and wrig.
gled around until they died. The farm.
ers of Applegate are feeding their hog,
upon the fish, and dozens of the farmers
boys are spearing the salmon for fun.

We would like our vaqueros to tell us
if the following holds equally good Of
Nevada horses: The Arabs of Sahara
are very particular as to the color of
their horses. White is the, color for
princes, but does not stand heat. The
black brings good fortune but fears rocky
ground. Tho chestnut is the most active.
If one tells you he has seen horse flying
in the air, ask Of what color it was; if he
replies Chestnut" believe him. In a
combat against chestnut you must have
a chestnut. The bay is the hardest and
most sober. If one tells you horse has
leaped to the bottom Of precipice with
out hurting himself. ask of what color it
was, and il he replies ebay" believe him.

A Washington dispatch Of the 9th says
that leading tradesman Of that city,
whose family was in the Confederate
army, predicted yesterday that the West
and South would drop old party lines
within year or two and oppose the
monoyed power in the East" The Ma
tional conventions held by both the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties last year
leads one to believe to the contrary. The
action of the Southern delegates to those
conventions plainly showed how the
South stood, and where she stood. In
both cases the Southern delegates stood
in with the monopolists and moneyed
powers of the East. When the Wall
street brokers and bankers failed to secure
the nomination of their nominee (Mr.
Arthur in the Republican convention,
in whose interest the South fought nobly,
and Mr.. Blaine was nominated, these
monopolists and moneyed powers of the
East turned their faces toward the Demo.
cratic party. and opening their arms,
the learders of the Democratic party in
South rushed into them, eyclaiming, 1--WE
are your meat These monopolists of
the East had no trouble in nominating
Ir. Cleveland, their choice, at the Dem
cratic National Convention. The pro-
gramme was made out before the con-
veution met, and was in effect that Cleye.
land was to receive the nomination for
the presidency, and if this could not be
accomplished, then Bayard Of Delaware
was their next choice. The aim of the
moneyed power Of the East was to defeat
Thurman at all hazards, and the South
fought nobly for the accomplishment of
this end. Having carried successfully
the nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland, this
moneyed power Of the East, both Repub-
licsns and Democrats, devoted their en-.
tire attention to the defeat of Mr. Blaine,
which was accomplished through the aid
Of the Solid South and wealthy Republi-
cans of the East. The West can expect
no aid from the South except, perhaps,
the small portion south of the Missouri
line and west Of the Missippi river. The
balance of the South will remain loyal to
moneyed power of the East. 1t is to
their own interest to do so. This thing
of the South dropping old party lines in
u year or two is as liable to happen as the
changing of the spots of the Leopard
in the same length of time. The West
will have to fight her own battles un-
aided by the South. The "Gold Bug"
now roosts on the top-most branch of the
Nations family tree, and the "Silver
Fly" has crawled into the hollow of the
tree, and dragged the hole in after it,
where it will remain in sweet repose
awaiting the bidding of the moneyed
power Of Wall.street.

The second of the games between
the Iancasters and Virginias proved to
be one Of toe closest and most ex-
citing of the season. Neither side was
able to score until the fourth inning,
when the Virginias, by good batting
and fortunately punching their hits,
brought two men across the plate.
They added two more in the sixth.
Up TO this time the visitors were un-
able to hit Pyle only fer three scatter
ing singles, and the apprehension that
they would be shut out began to grow
very strong. This, however, was soon
removed. In the eighth inning Wetzel
led Off at the bat, and was hit by Pyle,
giving him his base Parker, Hiland,
McTamney, and Smith each made
hits, bringing in five runs-four
of them earned-putting them one
in advance of the home team.
The home boys then went to the bat
and made two runs, not only tying the
game, but putting them ahead again.
The Laneasters, in their last chance,
added one to their score and tied the
game. Here excitement ran very high,
and the crowd was in such suspense
that for several minutes whisper might
bs heard almost across the grounds.
This, however, was soon changed. La
than led off for the home boys, and
got his first on seven called balls. Pyle
made a two-base hit, and Greenwood
made a single, on which Latham scored,
winning the game for the home team by
the score of 7 to G. The playing of
both clubs was unusually fine, and the
Yirginias' heavy batting won them the
victory. As will be seen from the
score, Glenn, Nash, Parker, and Old
field did very fine work at the bat. The
appended score tells the rest:

he became easy and fell asleep. In the
morning she discovered that he was

and had lived here for about thirty-tive
years. He was an estimable citizen

MERCHANTS AND VETERANS.
The Proposed Visit OF the south CaroiInians
to Richmoud.


TO Richmoud.
On Thursday the survivors Of the
Sixth South Carolina regiment, with
one company Of active troops and large
number Of merchants and others, will
come here to visit the battlefield Of
Seven Pines, and after that to see the
city Of Richmond. Their committee of
arrangements will reach here this
morning, and will confer with Messrs.
John S. Elicit and Grin l.. Cottrell,
representing the Chamber Of Commerce
and citizens generally, and Lieutenant
W. NJ. Evans, Of the Blues, represent
ing the military.
The visitors will number between
four and five hundred, and among them
will be many Of the best merchants of
that portion Of South Carolina. 1t is
an excursion projected by the veterans
who wished to view again one of the
many fields where their valor was dis
played during the war. They will re-
ceiye cordial welcome from our COM
munity. The First regiment, the Blues,
and the Howitzers will see to the COM
fort of the military company, our
veteran organizations will extend greet
ing to the survivors of the Sixth, and
our merchants will no doubt see that
their brethren, many Of whom are also
their customers, have an agreeable time.
The excursion train will get here
about 8 A. NJ. Thursday. The party
will be breakfasted here. Then all
who wish will proceed on the same
train to Seven Pines, where the survl-
yors will view the field and have a re-
union and an address from General
Bratton. They will return here in the
evening. Next day the entire party
will be in the hands Of their hosts here.
The programme for their entertain
ment has not yet been made out, but
will contemplate giving the Carolinians
a good tims-a warm fraternal well
come rather than elaborateness Of cers-
mODy.
