stract, who teach by precept and not
oy example, that the measure is im-
meral-that it is gambling and should
not be licensed.
1t must be remembered that it has
always teen the policy of this State to
license gaming, in order to derive a
revenue from that source, and there
can be found no hhrd-headed tax
payer or legislator who will vote to alb
solutely prohibit gaming and thus cut
off all revenue to the State from
licenses of that character. The
farmers and business men would soon
make their wishes known about such
craftsmanship in Nevada.
Now why make fish of one and flesh
of the other? Why not put them all on
the same moral planet The State now
derives from gaming licenses @12, 900
per annum, in round numbers. from
all games combined, including faro,
stud poker, rouge-et-nolr, ETC., which
are all licensed and permissible under
our law.
The lottery alone proposes to pay
into the treasury four times as much
as all other games combined.
As to the matter Of the morality, the
argument ia in favor of the lottery.
All the surroundings of the present
legalized games-faro, poker, etc.
may Justly be said to be demoralizing.
Sitting up at night drinking whisky,
associating with dissolute people, max
ing home unhappy aud often losing all,
characterize many Of these games.
Not so the lottery. If a man wishes
to tempt fortune in the lottery he buys
his ticket and that is the end of it.
No generalization; no great loss; no
bad associations.
Out upon such alleged moral argu-
men.s when the same persons favor
our present license system.
The other benefits to the State from
lottery are numerous. We must ac-
knowledge that thousands of dollars
now go away monthly to the Louisiana
Lottery. This will in a measure re.
main at home. If the lottery should
be a success, hundreds of thousands OF
dollars will come into the State to the
offices of the company, which will be
here, and nearly or quite all will be
paid out in our State. It follows that
much of it will be expended in our
midst
Several hundred 6rst-class employees
will be given employment in different
branches of the business, and taxable
property will be created, buildings will
be erected, etc.
We should not be misled by the dis
sruntled arguments of alleged moral
lists, but all vote Amendment No. ~
Yes. TAXPAYER.

The name locust is composed OF two
Latin words, locus, place, and vestus'
burned, for the appearance OF countries
,ayaoed fy them is similar to regions
destroyed by 6re-the same awtui
desolation marking both.
OF these terrible.insects there are
many species. y The most celebrated
on account of its great size and terri
BILE destructive powers isfound IN the
E.st, especially in northern Africa'
western, Asia; and r. southern Europe;
from these last named countries 1t has
migrated to northern Europe and as
far as England. Owing to this natural
lists have named it Migratory" 1t

short. and d, not taper at the end like
most insects, W aich gives them appear
ancs of having been cut OFF; the boiy
is of a greenish color, with pale brown
wing covers marked With black. On
these wing covers, larle veins stand
out. and the males make loud noise
by rubbing their hind legs hack and
forth over them; they look very funny
when doing this, and it gives one the
impression that they are trying to inl-
tate the violin. Their hind l'gs are
very POWERFUL, so powerful, Indeed,
that il a jumping match could be ar.
ranged between locust and grass
hopper, the latter, though famous
old jumper, would stand very little
chance of winning; locust's wings are
long and narrow, enabling them to fly
very rapidly and for many hours at
time; an army Of locusts on the wing
sounds very much like the rushing OF
some mighty whirlwind. aud an awful
thing it is to see and hear, tool
In Autumn the female digs hole
in the ground by means OF four wedge
shaped pieces placed at the end of her
body, and which move up and down
like double nippers, enlarging the hole
as they are opened and Withdrawn.
When the hole is deep enough to suit
the digger, she lays her eggs therein,
and there they remain, snug and safe,
till the following spring, when they are
Matched.
The Carolina locusts of America are
next in size to the migratory. 1t is
about one and one half inches long, the
body is pale yellowish brown, with
dusky spots, black wings broadly edged
withyellow, and measuring three inches
from tip to tip when spread. This
locust liz noted for its sharp noise during
the hottest days of summer; swarns of
them may be found by the roadside,
oft,n flying before travellers many
miles, although it prefers warm and
dry places, it is occassionly seen near
salt marshes together with another
species called the red-legged.
The erouse-locust, found only in the
hottest places, is very small and pos
sesses the most wonderful power of
ieaping; it is remarkable on account
Of its keeled thorax resembling nina
ture boat reversed. Though l have
written the name in the singular 1 find |
there are as many as seven species
under the same appellation.
There are many insects injurious to
vegetation, but the locust is without
