R Dodge, of Washington, Mr. Dodge contended that the dutfes of a frea gorernment extended furtber than the mere * gathering of taxes or the conservation of the . In his oninlon there was no danger of {hls country being groverned too much, and the outery About centralizatfon was uncalled for. Government nlready protects tho nfety of the ocean travelor, and there seems no reason why Government ald to com- merce should mot be given. Our advanced manufacturcs of woolens, cutlery, and glass- ware coukl not have so astonished and alarmed forclgn competitors at tho late Internationa!

Sucli fs thecase in Great Britain, which gained its supremacy through the most arbitrary mensures of repression, both in buying and sclling. A patlon’s circumstances must ever declde {tepolicy n this regard, and none hut philo- sophleal theorlsts will adopt an inflexible rule, whether it be the rule of absolute free trade or of everlasting protection. Ten millions spent aonnally, nrmrnnuy solely for the benefit of commerce, i really devoted to the general wel- fare. An apparent advantage to manufacturers limits over-production and {ncrenses tho von- sumption of agricultural products, thus en- pancing thelr market price, Iad the South pever prospered in cotton protduction New En- gland would never have becomo rich in its man- ufsctures.

Kural produc- tous CANNOT DU LIMITED without advancimg the cost of manufactures. Ithas often been asserted In commerclal papers that the Natlonal Department of Agricuiture bss no right to exist. It f8 o narrow and stupid jdes that what hua always buen accorded to commerce eannot properly be sccorded to agri- colture. 1L foreign Governments, liberal or satocratie, encourage rural Industry by vhe con- struction of dykes and irrigating canals, by ro- furestingz denuded areas, by the establishment of tchools, aud other direct and ncidental aida, why may not the Goyernment of the Unl Btates dothe samel In the past half century ouly 8 trille over £3,000,000 has been expeudeil for the Uepartment of Agriculture and the Agricultural Division of "the Yateut Office.

Admitting that the dis- tritution of comon aceds {u minute parcels, as personial (avors or Conigressional perquisites, ia utterly fndefensilile, it can stitl bo shown that the good done by the judiclous distribution of the remaining malcty has more than repald the coat of the whole, In concluefon, the speaker demanded tho creation of & Department of Industry, which should be considered s the pocr of any of the Departments, and shoukd be mppll:c{ with a well-truined stafl of oflicers, with proportionate rank aud pay. In this should be included the preseut Agricultural Department, and ali Kin- dred subjects, Economic meteorology, the commerelal distribution of agricultural produc- tlons, the census, and all_otlicr brauches of in- vestlzatfon aliing to facilitate the devclopment of natural resources shoutd begatheredunder the shelterlye wing of this denartment. Amerfea Is far bebind other nations fn this regard, and the expenditure of $4,000,000 In such n depart- ment would not equal the outlay mude for siml- lar purposes in France, Ausf or Hungary, and would require a tax of lesé thun one dime per caplta per anuum, On motlon, the thanks of the Congress wera voted to Mr, Dodgro for Lts ablo puper, sud he Wwas requested to prepare a suemorial to Con- gress embodyng his views.

ARASSIOPPERS NIAVR LONG LEGS and long feclers: locusts have short lozs,and aro mute; orif theyatridnlate at all it is by rubning the hind thighis avalnst the sldes of the folded front winga. (irasshoppers are nofsy (the katydid and the ericket being specimens of thelr canne- ity). ‘The proper name of the Ameriean locuat 18 ealoptenua spretus, and it 18 indirenous to this Contioent, It dovs not ocenr east of the Mis- sissippl. The species inhabits the plaing of the Rocky Monntains. It breeds continuously and to perfection only In those high and dry platns and prafries, but al {ntorvals overruns much of tha lower, molster country to the cast and sotitheast, There are, however, somo specics enst of the Mississippl 8o closely . nllied that tho ordinary farme er cannhof without special knowledge, appreciate tho difference, while even entomolo- st aronot of a mind us to whether they snoald bo termed specles, varfeties, or races. ‘The two species moat nearly allied to the one under dlscussion are the red Jocust and the At~ fantic focust, The principal difference {s that the locust proper Is much the larger, thoughnot by any means an [nsect of vast proportions, scldom exceeding an inch and a half in length, The femnale is supplied with two horny valves, with which she bores a hole In the ground for the reception of her eggs, which number about thirty, and ore placed in regular order, ‘The young Insect requires abont slx weeka to accomplish {ts growth, and unitergoes five different changes, finally recelv- ine {ta winga, It fs a mistake to supposa that the female cliooses barren ground for her ‘' nest.” ‘The cnemices of the locust conslst of quadrn- peds, birds, reptiles, and {nscets, the most de- structive bel ng to the [atterclass, An fo- sect knuown as the scarlct mite attacks the eges, as does alsoa emall two-winged iy, Varlous other parasites, mice and binls, attack both the insect and the egg. The halr-worm also attacks the insect, and a fly, rather larger than the common housu-fly, deposits fts cgags under the wings of the jocust, whero they underzo a change into larvee, which prey upon the fnscct, and finally destroy it.

The locust flourishes best on short, dry prass land, and will not Increnss In sandy soils. Firing tho orafries in the - spring would bo of untold value, and {3 consfderc feasible. It might be posaiblc to prevent the fail fires, and to burn the prairics over whenthe young cts can be best attacked. Co-opera- tion Letween the Canndian snd United States Qovernments would be needed, for the favorite breeding-place of the locust is north of the boundary line. The cost would be but light as compared with the devastationaof the inscct. The history of the locust, and ita mieration from the higher plain recious into the more fer- tile country cast and southcast, {s most inter- cating. The inscct starts from ils breeding- grounds In Wyoming, aontana, and British Amcriea, to descend on the 'Heh prairies further “south. The cegs are seldom Iald thickly in the same scction two yenrs in - succes- ston, ~Manitoba waa devastated in 1575, but in the following year the insects avoided that country entirely. In times of afiliction people readily turn to prayer as a remedy, and thie fact ust mentioned would tend to strengthen &hem n thelr belfef In tho overruling power of Prov- {dence, ‘The writer conctuded his paper with an elat- orate account of the movement of tho locusts during the spring aud summer of 1377, and prophesied that there wus littlo fear of a Jocust plague in the Southwest this fall. On motion of Mr. Hinman, of Colorado, & vote of thanks was given to Prof. Riley for s ablo papor. Mr. Hinman aleo oxpressed tho hope that the work of the Entomologlcal Commission would not bo allowed to drop, and that Congress would devote an approvrlation to its support.

W, Weston, whom he offerca as bondsmen, and immediately upon his presence hetng announced Lhie State's Attor- ney stated that .his offense was the etnberzle- ment of £200,000, and asked that bis bail be fixed 1o accordance with the grasity of his crime. ‘The Court asked, nfcer some reflection, what was the largest ball ever required, and was In- formed $100,000 in the case of David A, Gage, The Court replicd that in a case of the character of Hilliard's a little consideration s to the rulo which should govern was required, and then spoke At gome length on the subject, holding that the ohlect of the prosecution was not to ohtaln the amonnt embezzled, but Lo puniah the crime. 'The delendant was, of course, presumed to be Innorent until he was convicted, and he was not committed to prison previous to teial s punishment for nls crime. 1t was only o be done when he eould noty, or did not, furnish surcty for his (utare attendance In cotrt. is Tlonor was not inclined, {n there cases (meantne the fndictment returned Welnesday), to fix the bail so larze that It would Kkeep the de- fendants In prison untll they are tried, Ifn person has emnbezzied moncy an indictment would notget It back. If hé has embezzled moncey and hins it, thero wasa remedy in the civil courts. Ball ‘would not be fixed with the urpose of making thewm disgorre, It could not be ot In that way n the Criminal Court, The Court would conslder the offense, fis surround- Ingze, and the character of the defendaut, in tix- ing the ball, and 1 conclusion named the sum of £20,000, Mr. Hilllard's bondsmen then quallfied, and he was diecharged from custody, [t was not long thereafter hefore AW, Edwards, the Sccretary of the defunct concern, was Lronght in ‘pufling and blowing. He was enlln:l{ composed and calm, and, upon belng in- forined that the bal m\,ulred was §20,000, he was nllowed sn ofliclal gnide for the day to hunt up some one te aign his bond, He ‘returned Iate in the afternoon accompanfed by Parncll Munson and Johu B. Lyon, who qualified and allowed hitn to nzaln breathe the free alr, L. M. Sawycr, snother of these who helped the Protection in its lifcthne, was hrought in daring the day, but, nnt being able to give ball, ~—which in his casc was fixed at £5,000 on ac- count of his being a mere emplo'vc of the con- cern,—he was taken over to the jail for the night. Ife will try to give bail today.

The latier is a lengthy document, and enters somewhat into the his- tory of the act charged, upon which Messrs, Hilliard, Edwards, aud 8awyer will doubtless be required to give further ball to<lay.

They were disenssing in a Dircelors’ neeting the cel- obrated case of Ielen Reed, the “date .of whose death was put forward scveral months, 1 don’t like that fca,” sald one of the more cautious and conservative oflicers; “it's a risky busincss, and it's doubtful It the money that we moke by it compensates us for tho chances we run. Bonicbody will be surc to find ft out, and then there’s bound to be trouble.”” Ho Bthpned ight for awhile, and then he continue] I'll tell you what we'll doy we'll ut forward the date of lier death 80 as to bring t over into the next yvear, and in printing the notlces for policy-holilers we'll use a blurred 1ype for the last figure of the yesr, and then if anyhody finds out "that anything is wrong, and coines back on usabout it, we'll lay It on the printer, and say It was his fanlt.” The sugpes- l!nn waa an fngenlous one, and was fmmeddinte- ly adonted.
