few days ago, in reply to the question,
"What will be some of the more i'm

undoubtedly come up, and I think it
will be settled by stopping the coinage

Look OHIf0r Them =.

Prof. Riley, Entomologist of the
ington, predicts the return this year
of the seventeen and thirteen year To-
Gusts. This prediction is. confirmed
by the statement of those who have
made an examination, and find great
numbers of the little pests, which are
just making their way to the surface
of the earth, and will probably very
soon make their appearance on the
trees and shrubs. In some places, in
spading the ground, these insects are
thrown up in considerable numbers,
| from one to half dozen appearing in
single spadeful of earth. The locusts
are supposed to shed their outer shell
and appear with wings, ETC., after leav-
ing the ground. They attach them
selves to trees and shrubs in vast
swarms, and subsist upon the foliage.
Many people will no doubt remember
the locust visitation of 1858, just II
years ago, and the noisy buZzing sound
which they kept up for weeks, and
the completeness with which they
divested trees and shrubs of foliage
Professor Riley says the seventeen
year lOcusts, whose visit he has pre-
dicted, are harmless to the growing
crops, and do no injury except to the
twigs of forest and fruit trees. Wher-
ever young orchards have been plant
ed on land which has been cleared
during the last seventeen years, the
trees are liable to suffer somewhat, but
it is probable that kerosene spray upon
the trees will protect them. The or
dinary locust, which is so destructive
to growing crops, has jaws which cut,
while the seventeen-year species, more
properly called the cicado, has only 6
beak through which he sucks his nour,
ishment.

If you have any of those diseases so
com mon with your sex, and state your
case to a physician, what is his inVar-
liable action? lie will regulate the
action of your liver, stomach and
bowels, and apply some healing astrin
gent to the part affected and you will
soon be well. But the natural timidi-
ty of women cannot he overcome, and
however much they may suffer, they
prefer to endure the pain rather than
submit TO the indelicata examinations
which often follow a physicians call.
To women thus suffering, Mexican F,s
male Remedy is, indeed, " Balm of
Gilead." no more embarrassing CON
sultatious regarding your symptoms,
no more indelicate examinations so
repugDant to your refined feelings need
occur. You alone know if you have
any of those terrible diseases. With
Mexican Female Remedy in your
hands a cure is certain if used as di-
rected.

The most simple, equitable and hon
orable way would be to pension all
surviving soldiers and the surviving
widows and minor heirs of all deceased
soldiers. The time has come when
such action should be considered, and
if found to be possible and practicable,
it should be done.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1885-05-28

The Pension Laws need revising.
There is large class of soldiers who
gave some of the best portion of their
lives in their country's service, who
need and deserve pensions, and many
of them have permanent disabilities,
more or less acquired in the service,
who are entirely unable to obtain pen
sions under the present laws. Sick
ness and suffering are the portions of
many an unrequited soldier, and death
is rapidly thinning out their ranks.
All worthy and needy soldiers should
be pensioned, and with no delay.

But still worse feature is the fact

Probably the muaL just solution of
the matter would he for the Govern
ment to deal literally with the indians
by giving them legal titles to u certain
moderate portion of the land, giving
each Indian enough amply for his
needs, and then rescue the balance,
promptly from the monopolists, and
open it up for sale only in hOmesteads
to acsual settlers, or at least adopting
some measures to keep it out of the
hands of the wealthy foreign and
American land grabbeis.
