^ A GRASSHOPPER ROAST.
Among the choice delicacies with which
the Digger Indians regale themselves during
the summer season, says the Empire County
Argus, is the grasshopper roast. Having
been an eye-witness to the preparation and
discussion of one of their feasts of grasshop
pers, we can describe it truthfully. There
are districts in California, as well as portions
of the plains between the Sierra Nevada and
the Ro&y Mountains, that li terally swarm with
grasshoppers, and in such astonishing num
bers, that a man cannot place his foot to the
ground, while walking th ere, without crush
ing many. To the Indians they are a delica
cy, and are caught and cooked in the following
manner: A piece of ground is sought where
they most abound, in the centre of which an
excavation is made, large and deep enough
to prevent the insects from dropping out when
once in. The entire party of Diggers, old
and young, male and female, then surround
as much of the adjoining grounds as they
can, and with each a green bough in hand,
whipping and thrashing on every side, grad
ually approach the ceutre, driving the in
sects before them in countless multitudes, till
at last all, or nearly all, are secured iu the
pit. In the meantime, smaller excavations
are made answeriug the purpose ot ovens, in
which fires are kindled, and kept up till the
surrounding earth, for a short distance, be
comes sufficiently heated, together with a
flat stone large cnougu wverureuu-n.—
The gra»hopi»ers are now taken in coarse
bags, and, after being thoroughly soaked in
salt water for a few moments, are emptied
into the oven and closed in. Ten or tittecu
minutes suffice to roast them, when they are
taken out and eaten without further prepar
ation, and with much apparent relish, or, as
is sometimes the case, reduced to powder
and made into soup. And having from cu
riosity tasted, not of the soup hut ol the roast,
really, if one could divest himself of the idea
of eating an insect as we do an oyster or
shrimp, without other preparation than sim
ple roasting, they would not be considered
very bad eating, even by more refined epi
cures than the Digger Indians.
INFIDELITY.
The Richmond Enquirer thus notices some
of the ways in which Science has lately been
employed to discredit the authority of the
Scriptures: .
In the “Types of Mankind,” a work just
frem the press, an elaborate attempt is made
by a corps of savaos to overthrow the theory
of the unity of races. They do not undertake
to establish any theory of their own, for they
agree only in assailing the prevalent doctrine.
The writers are ail able men, and it is but
just to concede that their book displays much
original research, curious information, and
ingenious speculation. T hey have un
doubtedly contributed many facts to the
science of Ethnography, but they tall far short
of solving the problem they discuss. 1 he
book will excite a sensation, and will be the
occasion of much controversy, but we do not
think it will impair, much less destroy, the
authority of the scriptures, touching the ques
tion of the unity of the races. Like the “\ es
tigea of Creation,” the “Types of Mankind”
wSl perplex the weak, delude the superficial,
and provoke the wrath ol the combative pi>
lsmic, until some man of genuine science and
competent genius exposes its absurdities and
discredits its authority. Uuless the cham
pions of Christianity decline the challenge,
and refuse to meet the adversary with tin
—tlmir faith is assailed.
they will lose nothing by the controversy ti
which they are invited. If, however, they
seek shelter behind the dogmas of bigotry,
and by discouraging freedom of imiuiry, !*?■
tray an apprchesion of the revelatioua of
science, they will suffer as much by their
pusillanimity, as by a positive repulse. ( hris
tianity has nothing to fear from genuine
science. It is upon the hasty generalizations
and rash conclusions oijalxc science that Iu
hdelity takes its stand. Driven from this
position into the open held ot tree discussion,
it must succumb.
RACE AROuSTtUB WORLD.
Two elipper ships were towed to sea from
San Francisco on the .'51st of March last: one
of them the David Brown, of New York, left

left on the lbth of December, and arrived

A QUESTION AND ANSWER.
Here’s your money, dolt. Now, you intol
erahle noodle, tell me why your scoundrelly
master wrote me eighteen letters about thi>
little contemptible sum?, said the exasperate*
debtor. “Iam sure. Sir, 1 can’t tell, Sir
Rut if you will excuse me; Sir, I think it w;u
bekase seventeen letters didn't bring tin
money.” _—

SILVER'S PLASTIC PAINTS—CHEAP
DURABLE, AND PROTECTIVE—WEA
THER AND EIRE PROOF.—This Paint will
stand any climate, without crack or blister, and
hardens by exposure, thus making in time an
enamel ol stone,protecting W ood from decay, and
Iron and other metals from rust and corrosion.
This Paint differs from the so-called Mineral
Paints of the day, which are principally Ochres
and Clays colored, and are entirely worthless.
Silver's Plastic Paints are purely Metalic, con
taining no Alumin or Clay.
They are levigated finely, mix readily with
Linseed Oil, (without the trouble of grinding,)
and flow under the brush as Ireely a» the best
White Lead.
These Paints excel all others in body or cover
ing properties, one pound of which will cover
as much surface, as two pounds of White Lead.
There are lour natural colors, viz: Black or
Slate, Brown, Olive, and Chocolate.
Directions.—This Paint flows freely under the
brush, and its covering property is increased by
using it mixed as thickly as possible, with pi ke

J. S. Silver, Esq—Dear Sir, We have used
your ‘Plastic Paints' for more than a year, and
for painting Bridges, Depots, Kc., Kc., we have
found it quite equal to any paint we have used.
In fact, we now give it a preference over all
others we have tried for such purposes. Yours,
respectfully, (Signed,)
JOHN TUCKER, President.

Dear Sir: You ask me for my opinion o!
“Silver's Mineral Paints," which you have put on
my Machine Shop and Planing Mill. I give you
with pleasure my full and hearty recommenda
tion of it as a preventive of Eire communica
I ting from chimneys, or from adjoining buildings,
j The Paint which you put on my roof, has now
! become as hard as slate, and 1 feel as secure from
j Eire, in this direction as is possible. A lew
; weeks after the roots had been painted. I made
i an experiment on two or three shingles, by pla
cing them in the furnace under the boilers; the
result was, that the portion uncovered was en
tirely consumed, while the Painted part was ap
| parently sound, though upon examination tne
, wood was found to be charred; the Paint, how
i ever, was firm, and but little blistered. I consider
! this as severe a test as your Paint can be put to,
and under the circumstances, I do not hesitate te
commend it as an invaluable preventive against
Fire. Respectfully, &c.,
(Signed,) ' AMBROSE SPENCER.
