NC Locusts Disappearinp.

The seventeen-year cicadas have
almost entirely disappeared. Even
now the drone of the males is heard
only occasionally, for the large major
ity of them are dead. A few of the
females are still alive, and are active
ly engaged in depositing their eggs
in the tender twigs of the trees. The
large oak, chestnut and other forest
trees have the appearance of being
covered with sprays of fruits or flow
ers of some kind. Closer examina-
ton reveals the fact that the brown
clusters are dead twigs which have
been pierced by the female cicada in
laying her eggs. In some places the
ground is strewn with the dried twigs
which have been broken from the
branches. Foliage, however, is so
luxuriant this year that the involun-
tary pruning by the cicadas can do
very little damage to the trees. Anne
Arundel has not been troubled to
that extent some other counties have.

GOOD FOR WOOD RIVER.
The Railway Refuses to Make Rates
| on Ore From B!ackfOOt.

The Union Pacific and Ores on
Short Line Companies have refused
to give rates on ores from Blackfoot
this year. This will compel all ores
east of Wood River and west of Black
foot to seek market at HALEY and
Ketchum, or shipping point on the
Wood River branch line. If the
Muldoon, Little Wood River, Lava
Creek, Lost River and Yankee Fork
country fulfill the promises held out
by the reports received from those
regions from time to time, the refusal
of the railway companies to make
rates will prove very advantageous to
Wood River, as it will secure to us
the ore yield and trade OF a vast and
rapidly developing region oil country

BACK FROM NEW ORLEANS.
Our Commissioner Returns Home
ldaliO'S EXhibit-Etc.

Joseph A. Rupert, Wood Rivers
Commissioner to the New Orleans Elk
position, got back to-day. He states
that our exhibit of galena ores caught
the eyes Of the visitors as nothing else,
and that our exhibit was all the more
creditable because the other mining
States and Territories were but poorly
represented. The average small size
of the specimens initiated against us,
however, as they conveyed no idea of
the BULK of our ore production.
Our exhibit was the general and
favorite headquarters, and Mr.. Rupert
speaks in the highest terms of the lib
erality of Colonel Shoup, our Com
missioner, who circulated tons upon
tons of printed documents relating to
Idaho, at personal expense of thou
sands of dollars.
Mr.. Rupert swung completely
"around the circle,' and went as far
East as Bosting, "a city which has at
tanned some notoriety because of the
excellence of its pork and beans,) and
as far north as Montreal, the city Of
winter carnivals and toboggan slide.
and the original home Of the sealskir

THE MINING MEN.
They May Agree to Reduce Wages 10
$3.50 Per Day.

At the meeting of Superintendent,
in this city day before yesterday, it
was agreed that the participants should
act concertedly to secure low rates Of
freight, etc.
A proposition having been made
that, on the 18th of June, notices be
posted up at all the mines that, on
and after that date, wages would be
reduced to $3.50, Colonel Wall, w.
H. Watt, and Professor Jenney made
decided objections.
Colonel Wall was as much opposed
to their fixing any rates for Others as
he objected to anybody fixing any
rates for him. He was free to say
that, just at present, with the price of
lead and silver, he thought "a "a day
too high; or, rather, more than some
Of the mines could afford. But he
believed in the right Of every Ameri-
can citizen to regulate such matters to
suit himself.
Professor Jenney and Mr.. Watt did
not want to employ men that could
not earn 81 per day.
A resolution was adopted that an.
other meeting should be held in this
city June l, to talk the Mater over
and ascertain what, if any step.
should be taken to reduce the cost Of
mine exploitation in this region.

A CHANCE FOR SETTLERS.

They can Get Money to Prove Up
for IL Per Cent. Interest Per An.
mum.
An Eastern capitalist who desires
to invest on good security writes the
TIMES, offering to assist pre-emptors
and homesteaders to prove up on
their entries bv loaning them the
money for long or short periods, (but
long terms preferred, at II per cent.
per annum.
The capitalist controls all the money
that may be required, and writes that
the more settlers avail themselves of
his offer the better-that he can sup
ply enough for 1000 or only enough
for 100. But this much he says posi-
lively, and that is that the TIMES must
get at least 25 settlers to apply Tor as
sistance before he will send any
money, as it would not pay him to
bother with less. If he once invests
here, however, the capitalist writes,
he will seek to increase his invest
ment, and will forward as much capt.
tai Cn sums of $500 or over, as may
be required. His offer will stand for
the next GO days anyway, and he may
renew it at the expiration of that pc.
Rod.
HOW TO PROCEED.
Every pre-. emptor or homestead en-
tryman or woman who has resided con-
tinuously for over six months on hi'
or her presumption or homestead has
the right, under the land laws, to make
final proof by paying the cash price
($1.25 per acre,) to the government
There is no other requirement, as IA
as the government is concerned. Blu
the capitalist will require reason
able amount of Improvements, as I
guarantee that the owner will cult
vate the land in good faith, us securi
ty for safe loan is the capitalists OBJ
iect, and he does not want the land.
The best way to proceed is this
Let the ranchers who wish to prove u
appoint some one in their district t
take their names and brief descrip
; tons of their lands, stating CAREFUL,
the extent and value Of their improve
ments. AS soon as the list is com
plete, Git should not be of less than fiv
names or entries, send it to the TIME
Office. A reply will be sent by retur
f mail, and if the showing is satisfac
| tory, the money will be Forthcoming
= This is a really magnificent oppo'
v tunity, as once a man obtains govern
, ment title to land he stands ia
6 show, if industrious, to soon acquire
4 competency. His credit is good; h
e can therefore buy seed, provision
}. farm implements, ETC., on time; and
he wishes to sell his land he can easil
f find purchaser. Without title Il
f land cannot he sold to advantage.

Not long ago one of Barnum's elephants was found to be in dan ger of losing his sense of sight. A surgeon who had been called to ex- anime the huge animal declared that if the elephant could te in duced to submit to an operation the eye could be saved. Accordingly the poor animal was tied down, and some caustic fluid was dropped into one of his eyes. He roared with
 pain, for the treatment was severe. On the following day the eye was much better, but the surgeon thought that he was going to have a terrible time in operating on the other eye. Fancy his sur prise to find that as soon as the great beast heard his voice he stretched himself onsthe ground and peacefully submitted to the painful ordeal. The elephant had simply recognized the skill and friendly purpose of his bene-

The Living Skeleton.

From the Albany Journal.
 Isaac W. Sprague, the living skeleton, or ''the faint shadow of an excuse for a man," as he was called to-day, gave a private re- ception to the medical fraternity at the museum this morning. He seemed greatly amused at the thorough examination made of his attenuated frame by some of the physicians. He chatted glibly to everybody, while the collection of tropical birds in the adjoining cage chirruped and squawked. MT. Sprague has given his body to the Harvard University for the enlightenment of science. He ex- poets to live to ripe old age, but as he is drying up" at the rate of four ounces a year, he will per- haps not survive many more birth days. He is A years old, and weighs 43 pounds. His wife weighs l90 pounds, and they have three boys who enjoy good health. The eldest is 16 years old. The doc- tors pronounce his a most remark able case of progressive muscular atrophy.

Changed His Notion.

From the Argonaut.
 Theodore Barriere once con- templated suicide. He had loaded a pistol, and sent for friend to impart to him his last wishes. The friend came and made not the slightest attempt to turn him from his purpose, but sat down and coolly wrote out his instruc- tions. Now, while Barriere was writing a last farewell epistle, his friend carelessly took up the pistol, which was at full cock, examined it and pointed it at the writer. The latter at once slipped under the table with marvellous agility, and shouted: "Great heavens be careful! That thing is loadedp' The extreme oddity of the situ- ation provoked irresistible mirth, which cured Barriere of his nor bid tendency.

The people of the United States connot very well refuse their sym pathy to the inhabitants of British Columbia, which adjoins Washing ton Territory on the north. They have figured out that there is a Russian vessel only twenty-seven hundred miles from them and that in the event of war there would be nothing to prevent 1t from capturing them and their country. The British Columbians must be getting lonesome out there anyway, and if advlce is what they want we would urge them to run up the Stars and Stripes and knock for admission into this glorious Union.

As an instance of the great age to which elephants sometimes live, it is said that when Alexander the Great had conquered Porus, King of India, he dedicated to the sun a great elephant which had fought valiantly for the king, and let him go with this inscription: Alexander, the son of Jupiter, dedicated Ajoh to the sun." The elephant was found $50 years after ward, still bearing the above in scription.

The telegram read: ''The Ma harajah of Nepaul has rendered 15,O00 picked Goorkhas for service in Afghanistan." The printer made it read: "The Maharajah of Nepaul has rendered 15,000 pickled Gherkins for service in Afghanistan." It might have been worse.
