The Grasshopper Outlook. A Des Moires correspondent says Professor C. V. lint-v, chief of the Unifcet States Entomological Commission, or a: it is popularly spoken of the " Grass hopper Commission," has been here foi a day. He is a young man of evider. acquirements as a naturalist aud fltnesi for his present work. Professor Rile; belives as follows, if I correctly repor what he said: The Rocky mountain locust, differing in color and in length and texture o: wing from the familiar red locust {Calop tenus femur-rubrum ? our commor grasshopper) ? more active, voracious and capable of long flights, has beer known for two hundred years. Its home is in the sub-Alpine plains of the Northwest, the Red and Saskatchawan river countries, in* a vast country north of oui territories in the British Dominion. II is an annual insect and dies with the frost. It does not migrate except when driven by hunger. In dry seasons or in a series of dry years^or when the number has enormously increased, migration becomes necessary, and the States are invaded in swarms. Against their descent there is no known obstacle. In sparsely settled regions they will strip farms of every green thing 'in n short time, and then either fly or march to other fields. In thickly settled, entirely cultivated regions they would dc great damage in spots, but "innumerable " as they are, they cannot master an old country. The question I heard asked in the East is then answered: "Will the grasshoppers drive us into the Atlantic?" No. Professor Riley has a better answer yet. They never have and they never will pass east of, say in a general way, the limit of the present invasion; this limit will recede westward. Then they have an irresistible instinct to return to their native habitat?tho?e hatched here invariably fly northwestwardly, attempting to reach home. They cannot perpetuate themselves here. They would never maintain existence after the second year, even if let alone by birds and parasites, which destroy both eggs and insects, and men. Now what is the prospect for the next and for future years ? This: The region from which such vast swarms have come for three years must be about drained of its surplus. The dryness there is not likely to continue longer, and witn food plenty the locust will not migrate. The return swarms of 1877 do not return? they are destroyed. Birds have increased enormously in all this region and destroy myriads. There is some compensation; hogs thrive on them. There was no return in 1876?they came late and perished. They will not invade the States this fall, and this is the last year for the present, perhaps for many years, possibly for twentv vears?tliiR ifl his niWlinfinn and he says: " When the locust scourge is fully understood, and the farmers unite in determined effort to counteract it, it will cease to be so much of a bugbear and no longer interfere with the settlement of the beautiful and productive western plains which it visits at irregular intervals. " The Luxnry of Cold Water, The plague of winter is cold, and the plague of summer is heat, but we can do a great deal to lessen the miseries of bath seasons. Now that we ore approaching the* dog-days, it may be well to point out that by means of a liberal use of water one may pass through the summer furnace without suffering any serious discomfort Water is good for other things besides the allaying of thirst. It has a permanent determination to evaporate, and as it cannot evaporate without heat, it consequently diminishes in the process the heat of our rooms. Pans of water, the cooler the better, stationed about a bedroom will positively reduce not only the sensation of heat, but the heat itself. Should any one doubt this, let him have a tub, with its shallow deDth and wide surface, filler! with spring water, or water with a good block of ice in it, and place in the bedroom, and mark in half an hour hew many degrees the thermometer has fallen. It ought to be six degrees, at least, and will be eight if he is not stingy with his ice, and. this improvement in the temperature will last for hours. If the heat still remains too great, throw up the bedroom windows, fasten a blanket, or traveling rug across the space, and drench that well with water. In live minutes the air in the room will be reduced to t: lat water's temperature. Never mind the breeze. Honor Old Age. Bow low the head, boy ; do reverence to the old man as he passes slowly along. Once like you, the vicissitudes of li e have silvered the hair and changed the round face to the worn visage before you. Once that heart beat with aspirations oo-equal to any you have felt; aspirations crushed by disappointment, as your* are perhaps destined to be. Once that form stalked proudly through the gay scenes of pleasure the beau ideal of grace; now the hand of Time, that withers the flowers of yesterday, has warped that figure and destroyed that noble carriage. Once, at your age, he had the thousand thoughts that pass through your brain?now wishing to accomplish something worthy in fame; anon imagining life a dream that the sooner he woke from the better. But he has lived the dream nearly through. The time to wake is very near at band; yet his eye even kindles at old deeds of daring, and his hand takes a firmer grip of his staff. Bow low the head, boy, as you would in your old age be reverenced. # Too Practical a Joke. % A short time ago the treasury officials received a check from an apparently conscience-stricken individual at Boston. The check was for a sum of money which the writer said was due to the United States. He said that he had been converted by the ministrations of Moody ? and Sankev, and he made haste to restore the money out of which he had defrauded the government. His newly awakened religious sentiments were expressed in such beautiful and pathetic language that several of the stern-hearted officials were melted to tears. The check was sent on to Boston for collection, and today it came back with the indorsement of the bank on which it was drawn that they had no knowledge of the drawer. A Tragic Temperance Movement. Ludlow, a Ruburb of Cincinnati, had a temperance movement of a tragic kind. Nicholas Ochsner was several times indicted for selling liquor without a license, but he'wriggled out of the law's meshes every time. The temperance folks determined to make one more effort to close his place. A warrant for his arrest was given to two^inarshals, and a large party went along with the officers to see the capture. Ochsner barred his door, aud fired at the enemy from a window. The village physician was wounded. The citizens were excited, and several shots were fired at the house. Ochsner was killed, but by whom has not been ascertained, as the fight was on a dark night. HIS HONOR AM) BIJAH. j 1 Au Iluur ut tbc Dvlroit Ccnlinl Station 3 Court. . 1 Ho wits lame arid ragged and timer w >rn. Few boys of twelve could have ! pres?uted a more forlorn appearance, s lie sat on the door-step as Bijali, the old j court jauitor, came out, aud the old mau t took in the situation at a glance. "Ah?ha! come West to grow up / with the country, did you?" lie ext" claimed. . j "Yaas," mournfully replied the boy. i' "You are an orphan without parents i ?hard up?ragged?hungry, and exi pecting tc be kicked every niiuute." >: "Yaas." "Come out here from New York or r Boston hoping for a healthy change, I ; suppose ? And you've got it. You used t! to go hungry half the time?now you are > i hungry all the time. You are a nice i specimen of the rising sun of manhood, l j ain't you!'.' " i The boy began to shed tears. . i " Come in here, young man!" con| tiuued Bijah as he reached down for the ;! boy's collai*. "I know about how you feel, for I used to be in thejorphau business myself. Don't be afraid of me , j 'cause I ain't handsome. It isn't always the best looking apples which* taste the best." ?I He took the boy to the waslistand and I scrubbed him for ten minutes. Then lie handed him a comb, brushed his clothes, gave him an old blouse and second-hand hat and then went on with : "Now you look more like a patriot. ; Take this money and get some breakfast, and then come back and I'll see what can be done. There?don't go to crying, my son! This is a great big world, with room for all.of us, and I hope to be ba' dheader than I am now all my days if I don't help a'poor lad whenever | I can. Trot along, now." INVITED TO A WEDDING. "There are palliating circumstances! ! in my case," remarked Agustus Cresur i Paddingtoll as he crossed the Danube and appeared on the dead-line. "No doubt?no doubt," blandly replied his honor, "and we will now take them into consideration. You were found lying on two sides of an old board fence, far from the scenes of busy strife and the hum of industry. You had evidently intended to crawl through the fence, but at the hidf-way point you got tired and took a rest. You were arrested in halves, sir, there being an officer on either side ii t i? " i oi ine ieuce. "I now dtsire to say to you," continued Augustus, "that I was invited out to a wedding." "And. you went?" "And I didn't go. I was on my way there when?when ? this?fence you spoke of insisted in crossing my path. I tried to dodge it. I sought to climb over it?I offered to nght it, and finally I tried | to crawl through it. I think I must have been temporarily insane." " Certainly you were. I know just how you felt. The ground seemed to be ' skylarking around?all buildings were ; on the move?there were more than a million lamp-posts around. I suppose 1 your defense is that a clean shave and a * top-dressing of bay rum produced the mental and physical condition spoken 1 j of." I kind o' lay it to that," replied the I the prisoner. " Yes, you might as well, for the fine ; will be five dollars in any case. Please propeed to hand over the cash as fast as possible, as the clerk isn't very well this morning." 1 "That's pretty tough," said Augustus J as he felt for his wallet. "But consider the trouble of arresting you at two different times and in two different places. Had you been on either 1 side of the'fence it would have saved]1 half the work. It 8 cheap, sir?dog J I cheap. It's on the same ratio as straw- 1 ! berries at seven cents per quart, and \ that's as low as the law can be enforced , and make enough to pay our rent. Thank you sir. You can now walk around and kiss the bride." HIS WAS A FUNERAL. "My brother died, you know," began Ephra'm Cowles as he emerged from Duga Pass and stood in the full light of the morning sun. " Yes, brothers are dying all around ' us," replied the court. "If I had any brothers I should expect them to take ; their chances with the rest." "H ? died, sir, out in Springwells, and I was going down to the funeral." "Of course you were, Mr. Cowles, . and of course you felt very sad at the ] bad news. But you didn't get down l there." , "No, poor John! ldiunt! exclaimed the prisoner, wiping his eyes on liis sleeve. "I met with a bad accident, sir. The horse ran away and threw me out." "Correct, Epliraim, entirely correct, but wasn't it funny where you landed. You were thrown a mile and a half to a foot, landed in a Woodbridge street saloon on your feet, and you walked directly to the bar and said you'd take some 6ugar in yours." " Y/as I in a saloon ?" asked the prisoner, seeming greatly astonished. " That's where you were, my boy, and it wasn't a first-class saloon, either. When our folks first saw you you were i trying to bite the bar-tender's thumb off, and he was getting ready to gouge your eye out." "Is that possible ?" gasped Ephraim. "I'm telling you nothing but the best brand of truth to be had in the market. I You had already demolished two tables and broken several bottles of rare old wires made of alcohol and logwood. When a man is going to his brother's funeral, and the horse runs away, you can't tell what strange things will follow."" Well, you seem to know best about it," said the prisoner, as he buttoned his coat, " I'll go down and tell the man ! that I didn't mean to bite him." i " All 11 n r/m -wwri'l T oont Tiim rnnf J VU ??

"And 111 go up as soon as I see about * the funeral." i1 " Delays are dangerous, Mr. Cowles. t You had better go up right aAvay." ? "I won't!" ' But you will!" And so he did.

I The I.oiie Walrh nml Desperate Attack of Four nifii on a Itnilrond Train?A Terrlble IJattle at LiuliiiiiiiK Speed. Au attempt was recently made to rob the United States Express Company's car on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad a short distance east of Ligouier, Ind. The railroad authorities had heard of the contemplated raid several weeks previous to its taking place, and had taken steps to foil the robbers, t The four men who were afterward captured were seen loitering around the station at Elklmrt, Iud., and were watched. Chief of Police Purdy and Lve assistants boarded the eastern train, No. G, and secreted themselves in the express car. The officers went out as far as La Porte, as they were confident no one there knew them. Conductor D. C. Smith, who had charge of the train, was in the secret, and so arranged it that the officers were enabled to board the train without being seen. On the right of the do ir through which the robbers were expected to enter was concealed Detective Cavanaugh behind a pile of boxes, and 011 the left Tibbits ami Brown. Chief Purdy, O'Sullivan and Hart were concealed at the other end, so as to confront the rob- j hers, and Express Messenger Oarleton was busy at work in the open space in the center of the car. It is learned that there was not far from ?200.000 in the car ; of this only some ?18-, 000 or $20,000 was in currency ; the balance was in coin, in transit from San Francisco to New York, and was packed in boxe3 containing 820,000 each. The express matter was so arranged that the passage was left only sufficiently wide to compel the robbers to pass singly from the door to ; the center of the car, where they expected ! to have a struggle with the messenger. Chief Purdy graphically tells the story of what tnen transpired : " Nothing transpired to arouse suspicion till | the train was leaving Ligonier, when four men leaped on the platform. E^ery man's breath beat quick, for we knew then that the attack was shortly to be j made. The train got under way, and was about two miles from the station, running at full speed. A key was inserted in the lock, and while every man was strainieg his eyes and ears, the door, first slowly, then quickly, swung open, when four powerful, strapping fellows, two of them with blackened faces and two wearing masks, leaped into the car. The messenger was quietly looking over h.s bills. The robbers quickly and quietly passed up the aisle that had been left for them, and Cavanaugh as quietly and quickly shut the door behind them and fastened it. They did not notice the move. The first robber to enter reached Carleton, and, roughly laying his hand! on his shoulder, said: 'Hello.' Carleton looked up, and four ugly-looking revolvers were thrust into his face. He did not^change a feature, but regarded them as coolly as though grim death j was not threatening him from their black j muzzles. The man with his hand on Carleton's shoulder was about to pull the ropes from liis pocket with which to bind and gag him, when I gave our agreed signal, and we all sprang from our places of concealment. I sliouted 'Surrender.' The robbers started for. the back end of the car,but Brown, Cava-: augh and Tibbits interrupted them. I We each of us selected a man and pounced upon him. It was .one of the * most desperate fights I ever witnessed. The desperadoes knew they were contending for libeVty, and fought like tigers. We did not desire to kill them, : Fmd, although each of us had a cocked revolver in one hand, we only used our billies, and we first knocked the revolvers out of their hands,and then clinched them. They were powerful men, and ' gave us a desperate struggle. It was the first time since I was on the police ! force that I cocked a revolver intending to use it. One of the robbers, Latty, I was the most desperate man I ever saw. Two officers bore him to the floor, but i lie struggled to his feet, shook them off, and regaining possession of his revolver, endeavored to cock it, when it was knocked out of his hand by Sergeant O'Sullivau, aud lie was then secured, i Within five minutes the struggle was over, and every one of the thieves tfas : secured, and, strange to say, not one ol us was injured, and Latty was the only robber who received any serious wounds, mostly blows abouttlio head. There were seven or eight passenger coaches in the train filled with passengers, but not a soul of them knew of the terrible battle that was going on in the express car, while the train was whirling along at lightning speed." The prisoners were taken to Toledo find locked up in the Central station. Their names are : Milton M. Latty, a j farmer; A. C. Bellman, formerly a con- ! luctor on the Lake Shore; Emory Christie, at one time a brakeman, but now a farm laborer, and Frank Hathaway. They were all taken back to Noble county, Ind., Saturday, handcuffed, under jharge of Detectives Tibbits and Cava- j aaugh. Latty is a tall, raw-boned man, iwkwarilly dressed, and is the worst j looking one in the crowd. He wore a button-hole bouquet, and as he came out A the station on the way to the depot muttered: "Disgraced, disgraced for3ver." He was handcuffed to Hathaway, a middle-aged, heavy-set man, with lark hair, mustache aud goatee, and aearing in his countenance evidences of lissipation. Latty is a nephew of Dr. Latty, a prominent citizen of Goshen. Christie is a small man, with light hair, red face and quite talkative. Bellman s the typical square-shouldered railroader. Bellman and Latty liave families; j ;he others have not. Christie is the mly one who would talk. He said the ;hing was planned eighteen months ago, out it was not until the present time that ;hey could bring themselves to make the ittempt. He says: "When I entered ;he car there last night, and saw the nessenger sitting so unconcerned, I jnew we were caught. If there had not; ?een more officers than there were of us, ve would have got away." Their Derivation. The word pamphlet is derived from ;he name of a Greek lady, Pamphylla, , vho compiled the history of the world in J: ;hirty-five little books. "Punch and i ludy " are the relics of an ancient mys:ery play, in which the actors were Poniu8 Pilate and Judas Iscariot. " Dollar" j j s from the German thaler, which is derived from Thai, the Valley of Joachim, j: n Bohemia, where the silver works were situated that made this coin.

I ] An Invent ire Convict. John Bryant, of Alexan bin, a convict now serving out his term in the penitentiary at Richmond, Va., has made what he calls "a Castle of patience." It represents his labor during three years and a half when he was not employed in prison duties, ami is a structure about seven or eight feet long, four wide and from three to four feet high. In general shape it looks like an English castle of feudal times, with towers, battlements, gateway, etc., and is made of 365,000 pieces of wood, each1 about two inches long and of the width | and thickness of a small knife blade. The wood is from twenty-live different kinds of trees, and to fashion each' splinter or " jack" it had to be handled eight times. No nail, screw, wedge, | glue or otlier things of the kind are used in holding the material together. It is j interlaced or latticed much after the; fashion in which many picture frames j are nowadays made. The castle is adorn-; ed with photographs and pictures, which, while not in keenincr with the design, give it a pleasant appearance, i In one part of the castle is a room meant | to represent the prisoner's cell, and it is | a faithful portrayal. This work, which j is the result of an immense amount of j calculation and labor, was all done by: Bryant, under many disadvantages, and I the only tool or instrument employed bv ! him was a shoe knife, the blade of which has been worn down nearly to the, handle. Bryant looks upon the castle with great pride,4 and when visitors ! speak in praise of it he can hardly sup-! press his tears. It is a monument to I his industry and patience, though it may be considered of no great practic al value. Brjant is allowed to sell to visitors small picture frames made in the style of the castle. Before entering the penitentiary' he was a waterman ! at Alexandria. Stop at Leland's Ocean Hotel Long | Branch, and get the best accommodations at a reasonable price. " The Conflict of Avea." Men differ on nearly every issue. There have I always been opposite parties in politics and religion, though the measures fought over one day may be universally adopted at another, and those sacrificed regarded as heroes ana martyrs. Medicine has also been subject to revolutionary disturbances. When Drs. Harvey and Jenner announced their discoveries, they were held in contempt and ridicule by an incredulous and ignorant public, yet to-day they are received and honored by all as benefactors. When Dr. Pierce announced his Discovery, many seemed to doubt, and were skeptical concerning all medicines and doctors, but proof of merit lias dispelled all doubt and to-day the Golden Medical Discovery is the standard remedy in curing the most obstinate diseases of the liver and blood, having almost entirely superseded the old-time sarsaparillas by reason of its superior merits. Norwich, Chenango Co., N. Y., Nov. 3,1876. ! R Y. Pierce, M. D.: I was afflicted with a scrofulous affection on one of my legs. It was very troublesome for over two years, so much so that I could not wear a boot, and I had to keep my leg bandaged. It resulted in a raw sore. It got so bad that it became a general talk that I would have to undergo amputation of the limb. One physi- i cian told me he never saw such a sore cured. I commenced taking your Golden Medical Discovery together with your Pellets as directed on tile bottles, and when I had consumed six bottles of Discovery my le g was entirely well, and has remained so ever since?a period of over two years?and I would not swap it for ' fifty wooden legs.

JAMES BUELL, - - PRESIDENT. . THE SUN. 1877. NEW YORK. 1877. The Sun continues to be the strenuous advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of the snbstitntion of statesmanship, wisdom, and integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and frand in the administration of public affairs. It contends for the government of the people by the people and for the people, as opposed to government by frauds in the ballot-box and intheoountmg of votes, enforced by military violence. It endeavors to supply ita readers?a body now not far from a million of souls?with the most careful, complete, and trustworthy accounts of current events, and employs for this purpose a numerous and carefully selected staff of reporters and correspondents. Ita reports from Washington, especially, are ful', accurate, and fearless; and it doubtless continues to deserve and enjoy the hatred of those wpo thrive by plundering the Treasury or by usurping what the law does not give them, while it endeavors to merit the confidence of the public by defending the rights of the people against the encroachments of unjustified power. The price of the Daily Suit is 55 oents a month, or , 80.50 a year, post-paid; or, with the Sunday edition i ?7.70 a year. The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, 91-20 a year, poet-paid. The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56 broad columns, is furnished at 81 a year, post-paid.
