WW ia THE GRAJSSHOPPERS. W«r on the Peatlferoua InMcta--lavoMng; th« Aid offOongrewi--Prof. Rllejr'a Sag- geit torn*. A document signed by the Governors of Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota and Dakota Territory has been presented to Congress, asking for a commission to examine into the ' gfasaliopper plague, and report upon the best methods for guarding against its annual return to the districts devastated during the past few years. Individuals have been able to do littJe toward liia Huceeosiul opposition of grasshopper ravages, and States have only partially checked the corse; but it is hoped and believed that a combined effort will in time do much in the direc­ tion of the annihilation of the insect- pfcste. In aid of the proposed national work, the State Entomologist of Missouri, Prof. Charles V. Riley, contributes sugges­ tions. to be followed out by all oon- eepned, as follows : Protect jour fields and prairies, M far aa possible, from burning this fall. Ask your railroad mantgen to cooperate by burning ofta! Airing tho dry weaiher, and by iu8trnct- " Sag tlisi? section masters to bavo a few hun­ dred feet carefully burned each aide of their track. Then net all theee fieMa on fire next epilog alter the new hutch and before they commence to travel. 8ave all straw, old hay. ' and other cheap combustible material ttrnt can be get to use in the spring in burning the young. Harrow and drag wherever you cau. This is the bee<» work that c*n be done in tbe j fall. A revolving harrew will more than pay for itself on aewly-tixmed ground, and a sharp- toothed harrow cm be used to good advantage on the bars and uncultivated places, and along roadsides where the eggs are known to be laid. Ditch! flbminoiice at onoe to surround your field or garden with a ditch as here recom- meuued. Employ the flr*t two weeks that would otherwise be devoted to planting next spring either to ditching or making pits, or to plowing or deep harrowing. Don't plant un­ til, by burning, crashing and trapping or starving, you have got rid of the bulk of the peste. Sow your grain in "lands," or strips fifty to 100 "feet wide, to permit of ditching between them, and those of you who have fall wheat up and doing well, where the eggs are thickly laid, should make ditches at intervals through the field to facilitate the saving of it in the spring. Qrgsnijw, NO as to insure intelligent and con­ certed action. Demand of your Legislature that it enact a bounty law which will render the labor bestowed on the destruction of the eggs, not only valuable as preventing injury to yonrsiolvci;, but doubly remunerative to those Who take the trouble to collect them. Make provisions for procuring aa large a sap- ply of hogs, aud ot hatching as large a num­ ber of chicken H, turkeys and ducks, next spring, as possible. These suggestions are, in the main, sensible and practical, and the reme­ dies offered are much more to be relied upon than unusual climatic influences or- premature hatching to destroy the eggs and young locusts. It is useless to stand idly by and see crops destroyed. There must be action, and by the concerted efforts of farmers, scientists and legislators the onward march of the all-consuming insects may be broken, and the myriads successfully driven into their "last ditch." Terry, Brigadier General; E. O. C. Ord, Brigadier General; a C. Augur, Briga­ dier General; George Crook, Brigadier General. The.names of the Major Gen­ erals and of the Brigadier Generals are given in order ef seniority of Poland's Opportunity. Referring to the partition of Poland and its subsequent results, an English paper says: "It is impossible to help seeing that the iniquitous partition of Poland has had, sentiment apart, en­ during practical effects. If justice has not overtaken the wrong-doers with a full measure of retribution, it is always ad­ ministering little doses of vengeance, which are troublesome, and fraught with dangerous consequences. Had the three monarchs who divided the old kingdom only annihilated the race which inhabited it, they might have reigned in peace over a solitude of their own making; but they let it 5 brokenly live on,' and hence a series of revolts, sanguinary wars, conspiracies, and discontents which Qn at least three occasions taxed the utmost power of Bussia to subdue. In 1793, when the heroic struggle under Kosciusko awoke the muse of Campbell to a burst of pathetic eloquence which the world will never let die, in 1830, and even so lately as 1862, it required two years of tremendous effort on the part of the hosts of the Czar to extinguish the conflagration and stamp out its smoldering fires. Even now, when civil and religious liberty under its feroeious masters.is a mere name, when all emblems and memorials of na­ tionality are prohibited, and the lan­ guage of the nation is proscribed, aud Eioat of its natural leaders are in exile, so indestructible is its vital force that a large army, protected by three of the strongest fortresses in Europe, is needed to prevent another rising. Nor is that all. Russia's peril is Poland's oppor­ tunity, aud whenever war approaches the dominion of the Czar the Pole begins to plot to prot est and to threaten, as an ally of any power, no matter what, which would only repay to the destroyer of his country a small debt of the ven­ geance due ever since the days of Cath­ erine. At this moment Russia stands in the attitude of a power determined to pick a quarrel with Turkey, and the Poles are again stirring." Dirt M Medicine. Some very extraordinary properties have been discovered inv the earth of New Jersey It seems to be an infallible cure for chronic diseases, for rheuma­ tism, wounds, bruises and corrupting sores. The application is very simple. The earth is bound on to the limb, and changed onoe a day. Some very extraor­ dinary cures have been performed, and people carry off quantities of the earth and apply it at home. It can be found not only by the acre, but by the mile. It is as good for animals as it is for man. ^ iarmer had a hog that was fearfully lacerated. Inflammation set in, and the hog was turned out to die. He crawled to a hollow filled with swash. He laid himself down and continued to wallow. In three days the inflammation was gone. The animal began to eat, and in lees than a week was perfectly cured. Whether the medical properties are chemical or mineral no one can tell as yet. The farm on which this remarkable earth is found is owned by a New York merchant. His friends already distin- frim as the Mud Doctor. tienerals of the Army. The names and rank of the general officers't the United States army are as follows: William T. Sherman, General of the Army; P. H. Sheridan, Lieuten­ ant General; Wmfleld S. Hancock, Ma­ jor General; John M. Schoti« ld, Major General; Irvin McDowell, Major Gen­ eral; John Pope, Brigadier General; Q. O. Howard, Brigadier General; A. H. The Ashtabula Horror. The Cincinnati Times, in an article on railroad accidents and their causes, con­ cludes as follows: There is this peculiarity about the Like Shore road--there have been fewer accidents in its history than ou almost any trunk line on our continent, but those few have been such as can never be forgotten. It is one of the best built and best managed roads in the world-- double steel track, stone ballast and best of rolling stock. It will go for a decade without damaging a car, breaking a wheel# or even missing a connection, and then, all of a sudden ft plunges into a catastrophe that makes th« world shud­ der. Thrice in the last fifteen years it has suffered from accidents that are typi­ cal of railway horrorg--Ashtabula, Painesville. Angola! And each of these seem to have been the work of fate, of which no prescience could warn, no prudenee provide against. The soil from Cleveland to Buffalo is a mixture of sand, day and gravel, and the streams running lakeward have dug for them­ selves deep and narrow gorges. Across these the road passes by double- track viaducts of the fiuest character.^ That at Painesville is a massive stone structure which can stand the wear of ages. Most of the others are iron bridges of the best make. And yet, amid the fierce cold and heavy snow storms of the lake shore many of these gorges have been the scenes of sad disaster. At Angola a rail snapped by the frost, and the train plunged into the gorge, lighting on end, and burning up with the passengers in it. At PftinesviUe, some years ago, at just this season of the year, and amid just suoh a snow storm, one of the trains was brought to a standstill by the drifts. A trustworthy officer was sent out to flag following trains, but, blindfolded by the tierce storm, and overcome by the cold insidiously creeping through "his veins, he failed to attract the attention of a pursuing express, which crashed at ter­ rific speed through the blockaded train. Mr. Schuyler's Report on the Eastern Outrages. Sir. Schuyler's complete report is ready. It states that seventy-nine vil­ lages were burned, many more pillaged, at least 9,000 houses burned, 72,000 per­ sons deprived of shelter, 15,000 killed, and that many more died from disease,, exposure and imprisonment. The re­ bellion was insignificent and the massa­ cres unnecessary. Mr. Schuyler vainly tried to obtain from the Turkish officials a list of out­ rages by the Bulgarians. The vague statements in circulation were disproved during the investigation. He heard most of such statements in Constanti­ nople. They became less exaggerated and diminished as he approashed the locality. He obtained proof of 115 per­ sons killed by the Bulgarians, including twelve women and ohildren. De­ tailed lists are given of the popula­ tion of the Christian villages killed, likewise of the Mohammedans. At Panagurishta only two women were killed amidst the fighting. No Turkish women or children were killed in cold blood. No Mussulman women were violated ; no purely Turk­ ish village, excepting Uruthi, was at­ tacked or burned ; no Mussulman house was pillaged ; no mosque sacked. It has been maintained that the massacres and outrages were not ordered by the Porte, but Mr. Schuyler has strong reason to believe that Abdul Kerim Pasha, Hus­ sein Avni, and Midhat Pasha had cog­ nizance of these deeds, if they did not actually order them. Men the most dis­ tinguished for their cruelty have been promoted or decorated, while an attempt has been made to punish some Turkish officials who did their best to spare in­ nocent lives.--London Daily News. A Six-year-old Boj's Suicid e. The 6-year-old son of Dr. A. R. Eaton, of Elizabeth, N. J., committed suicide, on Saturday, by shooting himself in the breast. It seems the little fellow has been very despondent during the last few weeks, owing to the death of a sis­ ter who had been his constant com­ panion, and on more than one occasion threatened to kill himself. His parents endeavored to cheer him and divert his thoughts, but to their efforts he re­ plied that he wanted to be an angel and , live with his little sister. On Saturday morning his mother chided him for something, whereupon he went away ap­ parently much afiecte# Shortly after this Mrs. Eaton heard the report of a pistol, and rushing up the stairs was met by her son, who, pointing to the bullet wound in his breast, said: " Don't cry, mamma ; I won't die ; the bullet didn't .hit my heart." He retained his consciousness until the bullet was ex­ tracted when he died.--Boston Globe. The Texas Frontier. It is announced from Washington that the subjeot of outrages upon A marinftn citizens on the Mexican bor­ der of the Rio Grande by the revolu­ tionists is occupying the attention of our Government, and that orders will soon be sent to our army and naval forces in that quarter with a view to their protection, as there is now no Government in Mexico to which an ap­ peal can be made for that purpose. As regards the Indian marauders who cross into Texas, the question is likely to be brought to the attention of Congress whether outrages on American citizens shall be permitted to continue, or whether this Government shall take into its own hands the manner of re­ dress. THE citizens of Gatesville, Texas, de­ sire that their home shall be more peace ful than is general in that State. There­ fore when a party of rowdies from a neighboring place were disorderly on their way through Gatesville to a ball, firing into houses and breaking down fenoes, the citizens promptly held a peice meeting. The consequence of the consultation was that, when the rowdies on their return repeated their bad be­ havior, a volley of bullets killed two of *bem and woun ed more.

Mc­ Lean, 314 Chestnut, St. Tjooia, Mo. HBNBY G. SHAW ("Josh Billings") said to a St. Louis reporter that he had been told by Ossian E. Dodge of a fact in Arte mas "Ward's career in contradic­ tion of the accepted history of that humorist. Mr. Dodge was traveling in the Western States with a show, consist­ ing of a musical machine and yoealism. He met young Browne, liked his wit and sprightliness, a«d employed him as an agent. While thus engaged Browne wrote the quaint letters about the "nnoix and wax figgeis " that introduced him to the public aa "Artemus Ward, moril showman." Tag Minnesota State railway bonds, issued in 1858, will become due and pay­ able in about a year. They amount to $2,275,000, which, with twenty years' interest at 7 per oent., will make the total principal and interest $5,460,000. The people voted a loan of five millions, and if all the bonds had been issued, as was originally intended, the State would have had 812,000,000 to p iy.

Cowardly Amalta, When a candidate for high office isao weLi liked and so popular with the masses as to innfce kis defeat difficult in a fair and honor­ able fight, mean and cowardly men are t ot wantiug ~ho delight in mfeiiufaoturing lies at.d slandering his good name. There are also tbme selfishness prompts them to prosti­ tute their honor, pervert truth, and ignore risjht, for the sake of injoricg a competitor iu business, whose prosperity they eury, and with whoao bosiness mgaeity they have not the tal­ ent to successfully compete in an honorable way. These thought# are euggeeted by the moan, cowardly attacks made upon me and my ire.dicfnes. by ISsc»e who imagine their po- ouniary prospects injured by the great popu­ larity which my standard medicines faava cc- qu red, and tho continued growth of my pro­ fessional practice. Narrow-minded practi­ tioners of medicine, and manufacturers of preparations which do not possess sufficient merit to successfully oompete for popular favor, have resorted to such cowardly strategy as to publish all sorts of ridiculous report* about tho composition of my medicines. Al­ manacs, M Receipt books," and other pamph­ lets are is-mei and scattered broadcast over the laud, wherein these contemptible knaves publish pretended analyses of my medicines, aud receipts for making them. Som« of IIIPB# publications are given high-sounding names, pretend to be issued bv respectable men of education aud position, for the good of the people--the more completely to blind the reader to the real object iu their circulation, Which is to injure the sale of my medicines. "The Popular Health Almanac" is tho high- sounding nam© of one of theee publications, which contains boguB receipts, without a grain of truth in tlscm. " Not less devoid of truth are those which have been published by one Dr. L., of Detroit, in the Michigan Farmer, and by other manufacturers of medioines, in sev­ eral so-called jouifaals of Pharmacy. They are all prompted by jealousy and utterly fail in accomplishing the object of their authors, for, notwithstanding their free circulation, my medicinal continue io sell more largely than any others manufactured in this country, and are eoiiei,ant|y inoroamng in sale despite the base lies concocted by such knaves. Tho peo­ ple find that shese medicines possess genuine merit, accomplish what their manufacturer olaims for them, and are not the vile, poison- OQS nostrums which jealous, narrow-minded phya icians and sneaking compounders of com­ peting medioines represent them to be. Among the large number of pretended analyses pub­ lished, it is a significant fact that no two have been at all alike--conclusively proving the dis­ honesty of theii^authors. It is enough for the paoplcrto know--1tnat while thousands, yes, I may truthfully say millions, have taken my medicines ana have been cured, nc one has ever reoelved injury from their use. * R. V.

The DIEE'JIORY «ouvoy» the best obtained infomation coaoermtug tho elxsraoter and valae of siowspapei-e. Ite patsrojis are tho men who expend money in. ach-esrfctemg' (a large and im­ portant oiaae), &od it is from th(.-m that the pub- liahers of the DIltECrOili', in their capacity of advertieir g ageutu, derive their profit and sup­ port. It is to them and not to newspaper pub- liahers that they owe the duty of ffutiuul service. The theory that '•'>«rhniiig Bgenc es are the aervants of nfjwapaptra, and shou3»l advance their interaste first, U auui'uilated by tuuigrBteui loui; adopted by publislsere, almoat without ex­ ception, of ignoring auy idea of protecting the so-called ageucy and maintaining the right to appoint competitor* iu the earns fiold without the consent of Uuvse already occapying it. AS THE MOST IMPORTANT PORTION OF THE IN­ FORMATION 8PPPLIKD EY Jk MEBOJLNTILK AQIVNOT OONSIS'fS OF A REPORT OP THE FINANCIAL 8TB1JJGTU OF THE PKR80N ATIOTJT WHOM INFOH- MATION 18 ABKEI>, BO 18 THK CIRCULATION OR A NFAVHPAPEP. OKNKRALLY CON8IDERK1) THE POINT UPON WHICH UU-ORUATIOK WILL BK OF MOST •AI.UF. TO THE ADYEHTI8SR. There are, among morehanta, some who deny the right of a mercantile ageuoy to inquire Into their private affairs, and who decline giving any information upon which a report may bo bseed; bat the mercantile agonoy does not-, on that ac­ count, neglect to m»k© a report, it get« from •ther eonxcoa the best obtainable infoi'iBAtiou, and upon this its estimate is based, although it cannot bo denied that the reticence of the party in question is almost always attributed to a knowledge upon his part that a true report would be prejudicial to his credit. The report made is, therefore, likely to be less favorable than it might have been had the information asked for boon cheerfully and frankly fur wished. Bo alto there are among newspaper publishers some who deny the right of any one to iuquira into their affairs. It liae been the policy of the publisher* of the DIRECTORY to omit all in­ formation about circulation whenever plainly and unequivocally commanded to do eo. In audi cases the matter is disposed of by annex­ ing to the report the words "objects io stating circulationIn every case whore the above eosnniwd is not plainly and unequivocally con- veyed to the publishers of the .OIIJECTQRY, they make np their report in same manner pur­ sued by the mercantile agencies in estimating the financial strougth of a merchant, and, like tho institutions referred to, (hey decline to re­ veal the sources from which they have obtaiued their information. It is undoubtedly true that no publication of this ohar^oter is privileged, and that in an in­ stance where a merchant or a newspaper is seriously injured by an unjust or materially in­ correct report the courts furnish a remedy, and both mercantile a^onoy or Directory publisher Will be held responsible for actual damage shown to accrue to an injured party from a report proved upon trial to have been erroneous. This in a liability which the publishers of the DlUECIOliY cannot escape; it is, therefore, one which they hold themselves st all times ready to meet. The greatest possible oare is taken to make tho DIRECTORY reports correct. Every pub­ lisher is applied to very oy^tematio&lly. All information is taken iu a form which oxclades any but deilnito st Htements which cannot bo misunderstood, while every effort in made to protect honest publishers against suoh m would resort to lying or perjured reports to gain an unfair advsnuge. It hati rare3j baen found that a cause of com­ plaint has arison against any report which has appeared in either of tbe seven annual volumes of the Directory already issued which has not resulted either from the neglect of a publisher to respond to appeals for information or an effort on his part t) substitute other and differ­ ent information instead of answering the plain questions upou tho blanks furnished for the purpose from the DIRSCIORY othoe.

"i^cient time allowed to elapse for the statement to tcaie to hand h?'l zziy such been forwarded. It is believed that no publisher of a newspa­ per expresses dissatisfaction with the circu­ lation accorded his journal in the AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY who does not desire to impress the public that his edition is greater tiisn it Is ia reality. The reason given by several publishers for not furnishing an authoritative statement of their circulation for publication in the AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is that many ad verliaers believe the circulation to be greater than it really is, and that this is an advantage to the publisher which would be lost if aotual facta should be made'knowu. An unusual number of publishers of the lead­ ing daily papers are this year furnishing the AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY with the actual figures of their circulation. In addition to the Above information, the AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTOR! for 1876 contains classified lists as follows : PERIODICALS PUBLISHING OVER 5,000 COPIES EACH ISSUE; RELIGIOUS NEWS­ PAPERS AND PERIODICALS; NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS DEVOTED TO AGRI­ CULTURE, HORTICULTURE AND STOCK- RAISING; MEDICINE AND SURGERY; ED­ UCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, OR DEVOTED TO EDUCATIONAL MATTERS; AMUSE­ MENT AND INSTRUCTION OF CHILDREN; FREE MASONRY, ODD FELLOWSHIP, TEM­ PERANCE, AND KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS; COMMERCE AND FINANCE, <INSURANCE, BEAL ESTATE, SCIENCE AND*MECHANICS, LAW, PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS, SPORT­ ING, MUSIC, FASHIONS, AND WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE; ALSO, NEWSPAPERS AND PE­ RIODICALS PRINTED WHOLLY OR IN PART IN THE GERMAN, FRENCH, SCANDINA­ VIAN, SPANISH, HOLLANDISH, ITALIAN, WELSH.
