The Eggs a GrasshOpner LAYS.

How many eggs does a grasshopper
layY Mahomet, according to the Kha-
lif Omar, said, when these insects fell
upon him, that he could read upon their
wings the words: 1--WE are the legions
of God and we bear ninety nine eggs.
When we produce hundred we shall
devour the world" In paper read
before the Paris Academy of Sciences,
M. Kunckel d Herculai says that Ma
homet was wrong in supposing that the
locust laid exactly ninety nine eggs at
a time, although he was quite right in
attributing to it extraordinary fecund.
ity. NJ. Kunckel has been carefully
watching some locusts for months, and
he finds that one of these insects will
lay as many as from five hundred to
nine hundred eggs during a season of
from ten to twelve months. He points
out that if the French Government wish
to get rid of the locust plague from
which Algeria suffers, it is particularly
advisable to kill the insects just bef ore
the season when their eggs are laid

The Calculation Trick.

When the pot politicians of the Puri-
fcation Bureau were at work whipping
Democratic members of the General
Assembly into the unconstitutional
and disgraceful scheme to keep Gov.
Turney in office they mouthed contin-
ually and pathetically about frauds
and the necessity of having a fair, full
and exhaustive investigation in order
to purge our election system and bring
about ballot reform.
But after deceiving many Democrat
lc members. who were led to believe
that full investigation of all frauds
would be of benefit, the Publication
Bureau changed its programme and
started out on a very different line of
action. 1t is no longer investigation -
that is insisted upon, but the scheme
now is expressed by the word "calcu.
lation." Investigation, fair investi-
CATION, would not answer the purpose
of counting Turney into an office for
which he was defeated by Democrats,
and so the scheme now is to "calculaten
him into another term.
This is to be done under the provis.
ions of "Rule s" of the Turney maiori
ty committee plan. Rule asseverates
that the taking of evidence of individ-
ual voters is impracticable and expen-
sive, and provides that in order to dis.
cover how many persons in county
are liable under the poll tax law, the
census estimate that 25 per cent. of the
voters are not liable for poll tax will be
taken as the basis for estimating the le-
gal vote of the precinct, district or
county.
In other words, the committee pro-
poses to calculate the legal vote for
Governor in disputed counties on an
assumed proportional basis. This ma
jority rule provides that 'in the alb
sence of proof as to which of the can
didates such not liable voters voted for,
they shall be pro rated among the can
didates for Governor according to al
the votes cast for them at the same
precinct for. them respectively.
What an absurdity this. Instead of
investigating and discovering how
many illegal votes were cast, the Tur-
ney majority proposes to make calcu.
lation upon an assumed basis and by
allowing % per cent, of voters not liza.
BILE for poll taxes, calculate and sub
tract the illegal votes. In Republi-
can county for instance-and the Re-
publican counties are aimed at by rule
S-if Evans has received, say, 1900
votes and Turney 400 votes, pro rata
substraction from the vote will take off
great many more Republican than
Democratic votes, and by this means
Turney may overcome the plurality
which the people gave Evans.
Calculation, not investigation, is now
the chosen method of the Publication
Board.-Nashville Bonner.

tigation. The memorandum saws
Where Republicans allege that Re.
publican ballots cast for Evans were
counted by the officers of election for
Governor Turney, show by the officers
that it is false and untrue; and in
cross examining the particular wit.
nesses that they produce, it can prob.
ably be shown that they really do not
know, in point of fact, for whom they
voted. Most of the witnesses of that
class will be found to be negroes, able
to testify merely that they wanted to
vote for Mr.. Evans and thought they
had, but were unable to read their own
ballots; and if you have some old bal
lots, Democratic and Republican, and
show them to them, they will doubtless
be unable to tell one from the other.
In such case exhibit the ballots with
the deposition, but be sure the witness
or negro is unable to read before you
try that experiment.
And yet the Turney organs have
been shedding hypocritical tears over
the frauds in the November election,
and with urgent vehemence demand
ing "a full, fare and searching investi-
cation of the fraud committed, and if
Mr.. Evans shall have been found to
have received majority of the legal
votes cast, let him be seated" But in
arriving at who received the legal votes
no scruples must be had in disfranchis-
ing negroes who were unable to read
their ballots" In plain words any
chicanery, double dealing or deception
is admissible, provided always Mr..
Turney g cause is to be helped thereby.
In the name of decency let the farce
cease and let the politicians complete
their job of usurpation without any
further clap trap ado.-Chattanooga

81 A YEAR IN ADVANC E
WASHINGTON'S PRAYER.
Al a Critical Time He Adopted the
Words of Joshua,

Words Of Joshua.
The remarkable selection made bv
washington from the book of Joshua
IN prayer which he uttered in public
on Valentines Hill, in Yonkers, at
ABOUT the time of his departure for
what proved to be the battlefield of
Chatterton Hill, was revealed from
among the unchronicled traditions Of
the ancient family of Valentine tbro,
publication in recent issue of the
New York Times. The language of the
selection was as follows:
THE Lord God of gods, the Lord
God OF gods, He knoweth, and Israel
lie shall know, if it be in rebellion or
If in transgression against the Lord
save us not this day.n)
The time referred to was period of
great anxiety for the friends of the
revolution. The American army of
raw volunteers, imperfectly disciplined
and poorly supplied, was suspended
along the high grounds in Westchester
County, from Kings Bridge on the
south to point near White Plains ON
the north. 1t had just come from the
disastrous campaign on Long Island
and the battlefields of Harlem and Fort
Washington Height, and was retreatinp
northward with painful difficulty to.
ward the hilly. country about White
Plains, The losses in battle and from
munger, exposure and fatigue had re-
duced its effective force to 10000 men,
ana these we're so dispirited by defeat
that they inspired no confidence in the
mind of the Commander in Chief.
This feeble force was confronted by
the triumphant army of the King. num-
oering upwards of 10000 disciplined
troops well equipped with supplies of
all kinds for an active campaign and
supported on the adjacent waters of
the Hudson River and Long Island
sound by strong naval forces, leaving
Il brigade to protect Manhattan Island.
LORD Howe had transported the main
army by way of the sound under the pro.
lection of number of ships of war
and had effected landing on the east.
ern shore of Westchester County, at
throgg's Neck, while the ships of war
Phoenix, Roebuck and Tartar. car.
rying ll6 guns, had forced a passage
up the Hudson and were harassing the
westerly shores of the county, cutting
OH at the same time such of Washing
tons supplies as were coming to him
by. way of that river.
In this prayer the man Washington
unconsciously revealed himself in a
most interesting way. To mis- mind
his mission as the leader for the strug-
gle for freedom was akin to that of
Joshua and the children of Israel.
Considering the nature of this crisis of
the campaign, the very existence of the
revolution depending upon the out
come Of the then impending and most
unequal contest, this revelation of the
inmost thoughts of the Commander in
chief of the revolutionary forces has
power to appeal and 2 dramatic COM
pleteness which was thrilling to con.
template. The sentiment expressed by
him in this paragraph from the book
OF Joshua is in entire harmony with
the exalted personal character of the
Father of His Country as the perspec-
tive of tim has revealed it to us.

part of Virginia, Col Preston, Col.
Christian and Col. Evan Shelby, they
established Browns line as the bound.
ary between the Indians and white
people, which in ITS was inserted as
such, in an act of the General Assem-.
bly, of North Carolina, passed in this
year. They transmitted the treaty to
the fall session of 1777, though no rec
ord was made of it, nor any formal rati-
tication; but the boundaries were re.
Cured to, and recognized, in the public
act aforesaid, as established by treaty.
Several massacres having been com
mitted by the Indians during the sus
pension of hostilites, the commission
ers accused them with the perpetration
of these ac is, and reproached them with
breach of faith. They laid them to the
charge of the Chiccamaugas, the name
by which those Cherokees have been
called who settled on the creek of that
name, with Dragging Canoe refusing
to accept Of peace on the terms which
Col. Christian had offered. The treaty,
however, proceeded, and the Indians
resigned their lands as far as to the
mouth of Cloud Greek. The commits.
sionerS agreed to give them two hun,
dred COWS and calves, and large num-
ber of sheep, which, at the request of
the Indians, were exchanged for goods,
and the articles of the treaty were ac.
commodated to The exchange. The Vir.
ginia commissioners signed the treaty,
but those from North Carolina, refused
to do so; no doubt believing at the
time, that the greater part of the set
Elements were in Virginia. The deliv-
cry of the goods and cattle, was of
course made by the Government of Vir.

A Miserable Business.

The miserable counting in scheme of
the pot politicians of Tennessee is con-
demned by all fair minded Democrats
in and out of the State. The audacity
of the scheme in the face of protesting
public sentiment is astounding. Every
body can now see that the SO called
investigation" is an abominable
farce. The chance of a fair investiga-
ton has been precluded by the parti-
san and arbitrary action of the majori-
ty of the committee, and it now only
remains to wait and see to what length
the committee will go. Will the scheme
be pushed ahead regardless of all pro-
tests, and of all the interests of the
State, or will the committee be at last
forced to make an inglorious and alb
ject confession of its follyp 1t looks
now as if the counting in scheme is to
be pushed 10 the last extremity and
that the States disgrace is to be consu-
mated. .-Nashville Banner.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, July 25.-Another boom in wheat has gone wrong. Prices closed 13sc lower today than they did yesterday and there was not the least indication of excitement to the trade. The outside refused to be tempted and local bulls failed to live up to their asserted belief in better prices. Sep tember wheat opened from 72l2 to 71Hc, declined to 70lRc, closing at 7078c, with the loss mentioned above. Cash wheat was easier and 1@1l3c lower.
 Corn displayed complete sympathy with the easier feeling of wheat. Yesterday the advance in the coarse grain, whilst made by the virtue of the strength of the finer, seemed nevertheless to be rather reluctant ly achieved. Today there full con shows the under current of weakness ruling in corn. September corn opened from 44A to 44Rc, declined to 433sc, closing at 439sc, 1Bc lower than yesterday. Cash corn was 1c per bushel lower.
 Oats-The crop of oats maintains a fair promise per the Price Current. This is generally understood but when repeated by weight to the weakness of prices Decln- ing wheat and corn extended some measure of depression to oats today and prices were in consequence lower. September oats closed 1Ac under yesterday Cash oats were F to %c lower
 Provisions-Business was dull and monot- onous in product today. The hog market was reported firm, which lent some steadi- ness to provisions at the immediate start. The speculative feeling of wheat furnished the latter easy tone in this market and prices lost their early strength. At the close September pork was 10c lower than yesterday, September lard was shade low CT and September ribs 21aQ5c lower.
 The leading futures ranged follows.
