Prof. RI : oy Introduces!! Reporter to a New nnd Rnre Dio, and Ha Llkse It. WainniOTOB, Jnno 1.—A gentleman who had an engagement with Prof. Jtlley called at his house this morning and found the entomologist alone In his dining-room read ing tbe morning papers as he finished a late breakfast. "Conte right In here," paid the Professor. “I want an nnprtjndiced opinion about a little matter.” Then be called to the ser vant, "Bring me some hot ones." Tbe visitor, despite the fact thit he bad breakfa-ted, was induced to seat himself at the table "just for the experiment," ami was served with a spoonful of dark brown objects, like very small fried oysters, lie eyed them enspfc'onaly a moment, having discovered beneath tbe crust nf bread crumbs a laminated back, something like that of email shrimp. “What do you call it?” “The cicada. They ought to have been cooked In " "What? Bags?” "No, nol not bags, only the cicada— mls-called tbe fitteen-year locust. Don’t be afraid ot them. They are only tbe quintessence of vegetable Ijnlcev, and eve rything In nature feeds upon them raven ously.^ Thereupon the host took one of tbe things, bit It In two. mnnebed and swal lowed it with an appearance of relish. The gnest abut hlt|eyes,and at'.etr pled to bolt a whole cicada. The object crushed in his mouth, and proved t > be little else than a delicate shell, bat its flavor was found to be far from disagreeable. "AU its jnices were absorbed In the b»t- r,” said tne Profeasor, explanatorily. Neither tbe entomologist nor his visitor was able to liken the flavor to anything with wnlch they were familiar, bnt they agreed in the opinion that vnlgar prejudice once overcome, the oicada would he es teemed a rare tidbit—rare, certainly, alnce It required seventeen years to ripen—and that it italgbt take rank with frogs’ legs, birds' nests, shad ran and whitebait. "I spent en hour last night,” said the host, “gathering them, nnd they were very beantltol when freah, I took them jnst as the pnps began to break. They were oreamy white and plnmp, and looked good enough to eat raw, bnt t didn't venture. I think tbeee should have heen stewed In stead of tried—stewed In milk. I presume they wontd be nearly as good as grass hoppers." "Do you eit grasshoppers?” "Cepteinly 1 I once ate nothing else for two days, and I found them delicious when properly cooked. This is only an experi ment, ot course, hot my eating of grass hoppers had a practical object in view. The Ineecti had eaten nearly everything In a large region ot country, and many fami lies were on the verge of starvation." Having lighted a cigar the entomologist described kii experience in attempting to Introdnee a grasshopper diet In tbe West. He cooked the insects In varlons ways, and tound them always palatable and nu tritions. People Invited to partake elways evinced aversion at first, bnt, prejudices baring been overcome, the dieh became a favorite with those who essayed IL ."Both the ntdlpoda mlgratoris,” he said, "and the accidnm perigrannm have been esteemed as food hysome nations in all past ages, as far beck at least as tbe Nine- van era. Indeed, soma trlbea have been called Acrldopbivi, tram the almost exclu sive preference they gave the diet. HIBBS'S SHARP PRACTICE. The Manner tn which He Swindled the Coiernment out of Several Thou sand Dollars. Postlaxd, OEtoo!t,Jnne5.—A specie from Lewiaton, Idaho, to tbe Oregonian gives more fatly tbe story ot the defalcation o Isaac Hlbbs, postmaster at Lewiston. Ho was appointed tn March, 1881. Last Janu ary the registered mail punch was robbed, hot on official investigation developed nothing end the affair was eventually for gotten. On May 22d, Hlbbs left for an alleged allvermine on the upper Columbia. The postal inspector, alarmed at his continued absence, investigated the affairs of the cflice and found In Hibbs's writing receipta for a large number of reg istered mail poaches destined for fietttous persons in different offices supplied from Lewiston. The modus operandl was as fol lows: LaRlston is the miU distributing point tor a large number ot offices in Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington Territory. Hibbs would issue many orders to fictitious names at these offices, drawn In favor cf the Hank ot Iowa, where orders were payable. The customary letter! of ad vice were forwarded ihepajiog postmaster, lflbbs then wrote to the Dank mat he would shortly visit the town, enclosed the money orders aud requested the bank to cash them and place the aruonnta on deposit to his credit until he arrived. Later he wrote the bank that he conld not make the con templated visit, and requested that a draft for the amount of money on depoiit be re turned by registered mail to the fictitious names attached to the money order. When the draft! arrived Hlbbs signed fbe fictitious nsmes end returned the receipted cards, and tbe trans action was completed. Money orders are limited to 1300 in favor of one person, bat with forethoagbt and a judi cious distribution ot dates and places, an opening offers through which an uuscru- p .lnns postmaster conld bankrupt the United States. The amount of the defal cation exceed* >30,000, and is expected to reach >30,000. Tbe postal Inspector says the robberies will necessitate the authori ties reorganizing tbe money otder system of the United States elsewhere. The scheme ts surprisingly simple, and the officers are surprised that It was never thought ot and worked before. John Kvans.casbter of the First National Bank, wm. Kittonback, cashier of tbe laiwiston National Bang, and Alexander Theisser n-.-l Wo. dwi.rth we'.- 11 to- - loud.men for >8,000. Alexander and rnriiter were secured before Hlbbs left.

RAIDING BY APACHES. Closely Pursued by Armed Cltlrens-.A Battle Exneoted. Oalyistos, June 4.—A special to the News from El Paso saye; “The latest news received here concerning the raiding by Apaches comet Irom the neighborhood Hillsboro, New Mexico. Fifteen armed men under the leadership of one Jackson left Hillsboro Tuesday morning, and before no.n bed recovered 28 horses. They continued on the trail, which before night been me very fresh, and the men concluded to go into camp and send for reinforce ments.

The Indiana apparently are driving a lot ot captured stock- before them. Unlees they abandon the atcck and take to flight, Jackson la certain to overtake and attack them. AFFAIRS IN THE STATES. A Civil Service Commissioner Interviewed --Ex-Governor Halo’s Disastrous Failure—A Fight In Indian Territory—Accidents. Washington, Jane C.—The President to-day appointed John W. Nelms, of Geor- gia, to be United States marshal for the Northern district of Georgia. Mr. Nelms is at present principal keeper of the Geor* gia State penitentiary, which office he has h&'d for many years. He was strongly indorsed for the marshalahip. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day received a strong protest against the con* tinned coinage of the present silver dollar which contains the signature cf almost every banking association and business man in tbe 8tate of Sonth Carolina. Among tbe signers are tbe treasurer and comptroller general of the State. Commissioner Eaton, being asked what foundation there was lor the rumors put lisbed in some of tbe papers lately that there had hern i.m b-'ween »li** Civil ■" ‘rvice i’onimi'.-eion and tl.e h«n«l * of d«* pannier,t--. iri which Hit unfriendly spirit was manifested on the part of the latter, and f specially on the pArt of the Seretary of the Interior, toward the commission, - ty- there m no fotimUtion whoever for -m h rumor-. They appear, he says, to have thetr origin among the enemies of reform and of the policy of the administration. No bead of i department has shown toy disposition to evade the rules or to embar rass the commission. The story about tbe oommisaion rebuking tbe Secretary of tbe Interior in connection with a desired cer tification from Dakota was utterly baseless. Secretary Lamar bts done nothing of which tbe commission has the least ground of complaint. _ Another Teller Coes Wrong. PBOTil'iNCE, K. I.. June 6.—Wm. T.

Miller, of Angnete, submitted tbe application. At- torney-Geceral Anderson was present rep resenting the State. Hon. J. C. U. Black concluded his argu ment late this afternoon, arcing the Gov ernor to revoke the warrant, holding that it was clear he had the right to revoke it as Umg as Roberta is within the juriidlctim of the 8tate, and that the manifest spirit and intent of the law is that he shall not be turned over to the courts of another State until all the demands of jaatlce In Georgia have been satisfied. Mr. Black cited many authorities, and made an able and earnest argument. If the application fails, it will not be throngh any fault of his counsel.

Coin ing to town last week, Trammell had a deed to the land written out. conveying It to him in the usual form, then taking it home, nnder pretense of its being a road commission, he prevailed on oldman Jchmon toalgn it, thus convey ing away a valuable property. Haring got the possession of the coveted land, the next act In tbe tragedy was to get the old man ont of the way, ao that Trnmmeli might eDjoy nndlsrnted the fruits of hie •O'irmlag. To do this a most villainous plan was concoced—nothing less than to lock tta old man up in Bis boose on Satur- day night, eatnrato it with kerosene and then apply the torch,to burn up tbe help- man alive! Thta tithe tale that Williams teds, lie ea d everything was prepared for this to occur Saturday night; bnt even hta own mind revo’trd stanch a horrible thing, end ho prevailtd on Tram mell to forego It and try some more mere! fnl mttbod.

They took a near cat through the field, overtook the old man nr nr the ford of tue creek in which he was found, and there finished the nefarloos crime, i rora an examination of the body by the coroner a jury it waa shown that he old man was struck a severe blow on the back of hia head, which probably atun- ned him, and then cooked by a crip around the neck. Te prints of finger grips were perfectly plain on each aide of hts neck, rhe old man,although helpless iobisluwer linn*, was unusually muscular in bli arras, and it ii raid was more than a match for an ordinary man. So tie precaution they ®° t m,D ff upon him unaware* and striking him from behind is obvious. Af ter committing the crime they threw the ad man’s body In the water near his rart, and then unvoked the steer from the cart and tied the lines to the cart body.
