Some old bachelors git after flirt, and can't
travel so fast as she doI, and then concludes awl
the female group are hard to ketch, and good for
nothing when they are ketched.
A airst is rough thing to overhaul unless the
right dog gets after her, and then they are the
easiest ev all to ketch, and often make the very
best Of wives.
When firt really falls in love she is as pow
erless az q mown daily.
Her impudence then changes into modesty, her
cunning into fear, her spurs into a halter, her
pruning hook into cradle.
The best way to ketch flirt IL tew travel the
other way from which they are going, or sit down
on the ground and whistle some lively tune till
the hirt come round.
Old bachelors make the firts, and then the
firts get more than ever, by making the old
bachelors.
\ majority of frts git married finally, for
they have great quantity of the most dainty
tidbits Of woman's nature, and alwus hav shrewd-
ness 10 back up their sweetness.
Flirts don't deal in poetry and water grewel /;
they have got tew hav brains, or else somebody
would trade them out of their capital at the fust
sweap.
Disappointed luv must ov course be all on one

The se0UaGE OF UTAH. {
Aareh Of Destroying Army Millions of
Grasshoppers. - .'-''i

VI Countless nyriads of graSshoppers
have latelySmade theirsappearance on
the north and eastern shore of Salt
Lake, and are marching or hopping
toward the city of the Desert. The
ground around Promonteryl Point is
literally black with the young and
rapacious insects. They are now
about three-fourths of an inch in
length, black in color, and more re-
sembling aaericket than grasshopper.
But as they increase in size their color
changes to brown. About two weeks
since, these pests made their first ap-
pearance in that section, being then
about the eighth of an inch in length,
and having the appearance of sand
erickets. They grow rapidly, and are
very voracious, destroying everything
in their way. For miles the track of
the railroad is black with these de-
stroying insects, the ties and rails be-
ing hidden from view by the th0us-
aIds perched thereon. Salt Lake City
has been cleared of vegetation before
by these pests, and in each case the
countless hosts have made their first
to the north and west of
the city, devastating. their. fields and
gardens swheni passing, through ON
their way to the south and westward.
Two years since, such a scourge
swept over the city, destroying every
green thing, even to the growth OF
wood and vine of the previous season. |
Millions of the insects perished in the
lake, for it seems that nothing turns
them when on their destroying march. !
In "a day the beautiful gardens and
orchards Of the city were feft as bare I

hordes have appeared in the extreme

they are destroying everything before 1

Hamilton and Stokes arranged that
the former should succeed Senter as
Governor. Sharpe says that Stokes
told him that Hamilton was very
odious to him, and that he was the
most obnoxious man he ever met.
He also charges that Hamilton
offered the editor of a Chattanooga
paper 1.-THE Republican, one thousand
dollars to support him for Governor,
but Stokes got the inside track by
making said Editor postmaster. He
asks Stokes if ne was not a Johnson
man in 1866 and was not bought from
the President t-wfthA money. Sharpe
also charges Stokes with selling the
last negro in Nashville, because he
tried to violate the npgro's WifeI also
charges him with releasing guer-
rilla during the war, on bis (guerril-
