The publication in a San FnR'ico iwjwr of a statement purporting to be furnIlM?d by Pinney, tlw absconding Chief Clerk of the Marc Inland Naval l'ay-omce, has crvated in the Pacific Coast metropolis an excitement similar to that which resulted from Tweed's confession In New York. Pinney lias jut returned from his wanderings, and his revelations are said to implicate a large number of prominent politicians as members of the Mare Island King, all of whom, however, deny the soft impeachment. The Catholic HMiop of the Omaha diocese has issued circular letters to the clergy, callingfor special niawes during May and June that the people 'of Xebraka Iks relieved from kw on aceeunt of grasshoppers.

Prof. Riley, Chief of the National Entomological ComminiioH, after a threw weeks' investigation of the grasshopper problem In Texas and Kansas, says, that hi those localities where the eggs have already hatched the, young ,hopiers have almost entirely disappeared ami no great damage may be apprefafidadt. In a communication to Gov. Anthony hit says: "lam Aim last to desire that (his favorable repert should lull your farmers intoan undue sense of fcecurity. The security against injury will depend altogether on tho proportion of eggs Which have lteen hatched, TIihs, In the more sandy licit west of a line roughly drawn through Junction City and ITloreMoe, not one per went, of tho eggs remain unbatclied, while eat of that line, where tho eggs were laid later and the soli is mostly colder and more tenacious, from onehalf to three-fourths of them are yet unhatclied, ami, with a few exceptions, sound. In the former area a few Helds may suffer, es,leelally along the river courses, but there will be no general destruction in the latter. The Injury may yet btt great and should be provided against."

The tight lasted 1 over eight hoUrs. The Russian loss was said jto bo 4,000. I War news of the 15tu: A Russian corps rei ported to have crossed the Danube IntoDrobmNcha, near Potback, and an engagement In progress, Another Turkish victory re- ' ported In Ala, tho Russians being driven out of the fortitled town of Sukuui Kaleh, ! on the Black Sea, with great lo-.

'rak h walk any day in tliu centers of thuAnancml, insuntuce, coimneieial and mamifHOturiiig interests-, and you can point out it score or two of men vyho.sti Hftlaricrf are over $.i0t000, many Inore who receive $25,000 wr yonr, anil hundreds whose income from salarv alohe runs from $5,000 to 20,000. Not by any means does tho remuneration depend" us on educational advantages. On the contrary, some of tin! highofit priotid oflieials ar .self-made men with good common "cart-horsu sense." Away up town is the wiperiiitetulentofa refinery who gets $60,000 peryear. Many years ago he canm hens a pfmr sugar-ix'hiiur, and worked for day wages. lie was fertile in genius, extwriinentcd a great deal, stud inado valuable discoveries in the refinen process, lie wa.s rapidly promoted in salarj and position, and when lie received and was uliout to aceejit a wtlary of $25000 front a rival relinety, he was ottered $50,000 to remain. In the brewer interests we recall persons whose salaries run away up into the thousands. Two managers of large breweries In this city and neighlMirhood are paid $25,000 each, live are paid $16,000 each, and seven receive $10,000 per year. Manv of our railroad oflieials receive princely .salaries. Jewett, receiver of the Erie, gets $50,000; Toueey, Superlendont of the New York Central and Hudson Hiver Railroad, jl is said, receives J2t),lKJ0, tho General Manager of the Pennsylvania Railroad is credited with receiving 976,000; tho "head man " of the New York a.nd Boston is paid $256,000, while few general managers of leading Eastern roads receive less than $20,000. The batik presidents receive enormous sums. At least si receive $50,000 per year each; nine range from $25,000 to $;;0,(KO, and a number get from $10,000 to $16,000. The same is true of the steamship interests a largo number of tho higher ojfflcials pocketing all the way from $10,000 to $:0,000 per year for their services to tho corjajra"tiou which they represent. Life and lire insurance furnished a field for great expectations on the part of those who aspire to become presidents and secretaries of oonimnios.. The companies have alw ays been shv of exposing the sums paid to their chief olllcials. Fortunately our Legislature took the matter into consideration, and forced the leading companies to give tho information dual red. Kightcen companies responded very reluctantly. Three presidents received $:K,000 or over per year, thn!o$15,000 orover,threo $12,000, ami the balance ran from $!l,000 to $1.S70. Mr. Hyde, of the limiitablu Life, has had a "riuh placer" since 1850, when he began at $1,000. In the past eighteen yennj he lias received $l&V05.-JVrcM Yorker The London police have had to keep a sharp lookout on tho movements of a patriot -who has intimated that lie deems it incumbent on him in the interest of his country to slay Mf Gladstone.

i ioik V"wwe.y correspondent thus tells t),0 story: Years ago, nobodv knows Jmw t many, an old riimniirrd or an -Indian ithu legend isn't positive which-lived somewhere in the .Slmwuiigunk Mountains, but whether it was near Port lien, Pott Hiokson or Port Kwen, is equullv t as (mdiwidtfdr The mm went lv tim I name of Ninetv-nino, He likeUvlii-k, and it was Ids favorite pastime when drunk to scatter gold pieces about the settlements; to pull a handful of dia- . melius from one poekut,a siring of pearls ' from anotlter, clusters of rubies from some other place, and parade in front of the aniaed old Dutch settlers, an ani- . mate (iolcomia. No one? could ever find where Ninety-nine lived. He never i permitted any one to accompany him to , tho settlements until a short time before he disappeared, One lJenny " Depue of Mnmakating was a favorite of the. unknown. Qjice they wore drunk to- , gether, and Ninety-nine premised to show " Benny " his home. When lie 1 got sober ho" wanted to back out, but benny " persisted, and so one dnj they started oil" toward the mountains together. Two days passed aw a , but "benny" did not return, Then his friends thought "Xinetv-nine had killed j liini. But u the niglit of third dav lie ; returned and said that Xiiu't-niio''had ; conducted him into the heart of the i .Shawangunks. They came to tin "lion of a large lake tho" first night, where , they slept. The next day the) walked j up a ravine until noon. Then lUnny" f had to be blindfolded. When the baiid1 age was removed from his eye- lt Uhi in the middlo of a cave. It wax lighted ?by candles that hung on evcrv iU'. Uich carpets covered the lloor. Vdup'nI ous jiietures hung on the walN. ami ! there was a piece of statuary that I5rii1 uy" only glanced at. Heaped on the j floor were piles nf gold in bars and nun; i the mo?t roplendont jewels glittered 1 from boxes around the cave, and the ! Maniakating Dutchman was :ilm crazed at the sight. But thegreeih old j fellow permitted him to feast hN eyes i but a short time, and then lie wa again J blindfolded and led awav. W hen the I bandage was renmved "llenuy" Um ' on the top of one of the highest peak I of tins Shawangunks, overlooking the LMamakating Valley. Ninety-nine had disappeared. He described the stirMonmiiogs as lie saw them, and from that description it is suppoed that I " Honnv" was left, by his conductors nacK oi j on jiick.hoii, auu inai i :ui the explorers knew alwint it, and Ilcnnv" l)eiHi0s extnivagant story is all ithey have to work upon.

It is called I'hvtologica Klectrica, ami possesses strong electromagnetic qualities. The band w lamed by touching it, and the magnetic inuuence is felt to a distance of eight feet. The magnetic needle is disturbed, and the nearer the middle of Ihe plant is approaehed the stronger becomes the notation, until dually it. assumes a circular movement. The intensity of the phenomenon varies according to the tinieof day, and at night is scarcely perceptible. It reaches its highest point about two o'clock in the day. Stormy vviathcr increases its activity. No insect or birds are known t" approach it. THE MAKKETS. SKW YOUK. May 1. N... HKEVKS N'atlva Steers io,(!o ijHKKl' tnslM)ra ....
