"The saltatory orthopterous insect,
of the family locustidae, and the genera
aeiidium," is what the learned bugolo
gist calls him. We addressed one in
that way prefixing it with the Eastern
phrase of Oh I mighty, in order to avoid
i urn nine it on him too soon, but he
simply cast on us a reproachful look,
turned over on his back, held his limbs
up in a pitiful, appealing manner and
then died.

The panorama will be here in a few
days. It will be exhibited in the opera

new scenes recently painted by Mr. A.
L. Butt will be unrolled to the public
gaze for the first time.
The Devil Turned Loose.
A country magistrate said: "You
might say in the paper that the devil
seems to "be turned loose among the
colored women in the country. A great
many of them are leaving their hus
bands and I have had a considerable
number of amplications from the for
lorn spouses to assist them to reclaim
their strayed wives. They seem to have
imbibed a privilege that it is their duty
to rule their husbands, and when they
fail in the attempt they pick up their
"duds and leave."
Tlie Fact Ascertained that On Ci
of Varioloid Haa Been Discovered,
and Quarrantlned.
Early yesterday morning reports
were freely circulated that a case of
small pox had been discovered in Con
cord. It stirred up our people, and very-
many sought out the doctors for the
purpose of being vaccinated. The Con
cord Register, printed in the evening
gives the following particulars :
By virtue of authority vested in me,
and upon the advice of the board of
health of Cabarrus county, I hereby give
notice that a case of small pox having
developed itself in the vicinity of the
depot, all persons are hereby fore
warned to avoid going into that neigh
borhood, or visiting in the locality in
which the patient resides, being a
small white house on the east side of
the railroad, near the old tank. All
persons residing near that building, ex
cept those who shall obtain a permit
from the County Superintendent of
Health, are required to refrain from
visiting in the town of Concord.
Anv persons viol atine this order will
lay themselves liable to the penalties of
the law.
P. M. Henderson, M. p.,
County Supt. of Health.
Approved and countersigned by
W. G. Means, Mayor
The public are assured by the under
signed, the board of health of Cabarrus
county that all proper care will be taken
to prevent the spread, of the disease ;
that vaccine virus has been ordered,
and all persons are required to apply to
F. M. Henderson, M. D., or some other
physician for vaccination.

At night the following special tele
gram from the mayor of Concord, was
received:
Concord, N. C, May 13, 1881.
To the Editor ol The Observer.
There is no case of small pox within
the corporate limits of Concord. A
case of varioloid has developed near the
town limits. It will be moved to-night
to an isolated place two and a half
miles distant, and all precautions have
been taken to prevent its spread. Busi
ness is going on as usual.

lost to the human eye, and only reveal
ed to us through the microscope. .
Think of dividing a single spiders
web into a thousand strands, or count
ing the arteries and nerves in the wing
of a gossamer moth.
Yet, by aid of the powerful lens of a
microscope, it is found there are more
than 4,000 muscles in a caterpillar. The
eye of a drone contains 14,000 mirrors,
and the body of every spider is furnish
ed with four little lumps, pierced with
tiny holes, from each of which issues a
single thread, and when a thousand of
these from each lump are joined togeth
er, they make the silk line of which the
spider spins its web, and which we call
a spider s thread.
Spiders have been seen as small as a
grain of sand, and these spin a thread
so fine that it takes 4,000 ef them, put
together, to equal in size a single hair.

THE
SEVENTEEN YEARS APPEAR
IN MYRIADS
A Good Movement.
The police made a raid on several
dens for the nightly collection of col
ored people, last night, and arrested
twenty of them, under the vagrant act.
Those arrested are well known to have
no occupation or honest means of sub
sistence, it being their custom to lie
around the city in the daylight and dis
turb people in their neighborhood by
licentious brawls and carousing after
night fall. One or more were arrested
ulso for keeping gambling houses.
Second Appearance of the Juveniles.
The Juveniles, it is understood, had
another splendid audience last night,
and played their parts better than upon
the former occasion. The O. B. Club
appeared in costume and lent variety
to the performance by the rendition of a
number of beautiful songs. The un
dei taking has proved very successful,
and doubtless by the two performances
combined very materially replenished
the treasury of the Little Worker's Aid
Society, for the benefit of which it was
given.
Election of Officers.
At a meeting of the Hornet fire com
pany last night, the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:
President W. R. Cochrane.
Foreman Jas. McGill.
1st Asst. Foremaui P. C. Eagle.
2d " " J. H. Means.

False 'reports.
Some trouble has been created among
the colored washer-women in the city
by the report which has been spread
among them that the new city charter
imposes a tax upon their labor. On this
account many have refused to take in
the usual washing from their patrons.
It is a foolish credulity which will blow
over without much difficulty. It is on
ly one, however, of many false re
ports that are circulating about griev
ous provisions in the new charter, and
unaccountably so since it has been pub
lished and is open to the scrutiny of all
men. The fact is, the charter does not
impose a tax on anything; but simply
fixes a limit which the board of alder
men Arc nrnhihitpd from exceeedine in
levvine taxes for citv purposes. The
A Serenade to Blxa. Jackson.
The New Orleans
Democrat says:
Last niarht at 11:30 o'clock, headed by
a band, the officers and members of
Mississippi Fire Company Ho. 2 march
ed to the St. Charles Hotel and there
serenaded Mrs. T. J. Jackson and
daughter. The company formed on
the portico, whilst the band discoursed
pleasant strains. When the music-had
ceased the door of the ladies' parlor
was thrown open and the company filed
in. Forming a crescent in the parlor,
with their flaz in the centre, the com
pany halted. Mrs. Jackson and her in
teresting daughter with Gov. Nicholls
were standing within thecrescent, and
Judge W. H.Rogers, bearing a beauti
ful piece ofHoral work stepped forward
and made a graceful address expressing
the pride of the people of New Orleans
to have them in their midst and paying
a splendid tribute to the memory !
Stonewall Jackson.
"Mrs. Jackson showed how sensibly
she appreciated the compliment so
gracefully paid the memory of the great
chief tain, and during Judge Rogers's
speech nodded in silent approbation of
the sentiment'' , v '

And Give Rise to Any Amount of Dis
cussion as to Wnat They Will and
What They Will not Do.
Beyond a peradventure, the dreaded,
far-famed locust, is upon us. He is no
lenger an Eastern fable, but a living,
working, pulsating reality, springing
from the ground with life, health and
vigor renewed, casting off the shell of
the old grub, singing in the sunshine
after his long wintery sleep of paraly
sis in the cold bosom of the earth, feed
ing on the succulent foliage of the
trees, covering the landscape over with
his yellowish-brown-damask wings like
summer dusters on parlor furniture.
They come, millions upon millions,
they come. From every direction they
call to each other, "Come over and help
us eat them up." The woods are filled
with them; the ground alive with
them. Farmers from every section of
the county bring reports aoout tnem.
They do not seem to be alarmed, how
ever, the only expression of uneasiness
being the remark, made by one of
them, that the noise they make annoyed
him. It is like the sound of escaping
steam. There are conflicting opinions,
however, in regard to their destructive
tendencies. One man, who has observ
ed their effect on a former occasion,
predicts that in several days the trees
will begin to assume their late aspect
of wintery barreness, but that the crops
will not be hurt hy tnem. some iew
say they will eat up every growing
thing. The majority view them with
curiosity merely, and anticipate no
damage whatever.
As to the locust himself, and his
historv, the name is derived from locus
a place, and ustus, burned, from the
resemblance of districts ravaged by
them to a regeion desolated by fire. An
authority say: "The males make a loud
noise by rubbing their hind legs across
the protecting veins of the wing-covers
like playing upon a violin, the sound
being intensified by a sonorous cavity
in the first abdominal segment. The
hind legs are very powerful, enabling
them to leap mucn oetter mau mo
grasshoppers; their strong wings give
them the power of rapid and long con
tinued flight, accompanied by a loud
whizzing noise, compared in their im
mense swarms to the rushing of whirl
wind, the rattling of chariots, and the
crackling of burning stubble. It will
be sufficient to allude to the devasta
tions made by the locusts, destroying
as they do everv trace 01 vegecaiinu in
the districts visited by them. Their
numbers are so incredible that rivers
have been blocked and many square
miles covered by them. Locusts are
used as food in countries where they
abound; the legs aud wings being pull
ed off, the bodies are fried in oil, and are
considered a delicacy; they are some
times dried in the sun, pounded up and
used as flour for making bread." If the
worst corner to the worst, this will be
some consolation, me acwuni. kudj
on to say : "Locusts were considered
by the eastern nations as the avenging
armies of the Deity, and it is asserted
that a statement to this effect exists in
good Arabic on the wings of the in
ject." We haven't perused any Arabic
vet, but, curious to say, there is a plain-
ly marked vv on ea6ii wing ui tuo in
sect, which is generally interpreted to
be "War on Whiskey." The history of
the locusts in this section, as gathered
from old citizens, is that they appear
only at long intervals. It is thought
they are the seventeen year locusts,
It is a tradition that the eggs, after be-

work back the other half, the insect in.
the meantime developing into the gruo
and then into the chrysalis state, from
which it finally emerges from the
eround. This seems to be substantia
ted by the depth of the holes they leave
behind them, for you may pour as much
sand in them as you please and can't
fill them ud. and when a stick is run
into them and reaches a stopping place
by a little twisting it will slip down
further, showing them to be winding.
This is all we know about the locust,
but the First Presbyterian church yard
furnishes an easy resort to those who
desire 'to investigate for themselves.
They are not so numerous there as in
the country, but numerous enough to
illustrate what has been said.
