IT isn't exactly cock and bull story; but
it's something marvellous torelate and difficult
TO believe, that our Smithsonian Institute Is
soon to receive a STAR full Of grasshoppersD
taken from the stomach OF q deceased Kansas
damsel. The way Of It, is this: A German
fsmily, named Boomershine, migrated from
the clay eating regions Of Georgia to the
'sbloOdy plains of Kansas" Shortly there
after the grasshoppers migrated to the same
section. To make long story short, one Of
the Boomershine children, a girl Of sixteen,
had, while in Georgia, contracted the habit Of
Clsy-eatipg, and the appetite for eiAg did not
desert her in Kansas. The result was that, in
the course Of time she deyoured much Of her
fayorits food. Finally there was eommotion
indescribable under that ffauleln's apron. She
lost her 'shsnkering" amer clay, and, Ike
Nebuchsdnezzar OF old, yeArned for grass,
eOrn-blades, and SIGH Ike. She began 70 swell
Ike one with the dropsy. AT the same time
time she exhibited An inclination to Jump. One
day, the day when the grasshoppers got their
orders to march, fraulein Boomershine sprang
from the embraces of her friends, sprang
ten feet into the air, and sprang into eternity.
In other words, she jumped as high as she
could after the manner Of grasshopper, and
fell to the ground a dead Boomershine. s'The
post-lnortem examination" says the St. 10.
Herald, revealed the fact that her inside was
literally sWRrming with full-grown grasshop-
pers, The theory is, p continues the Herald,
..thst she ate Of the clay in which the insects
had deposited their eggs; they were Matched
out inside Of her; her appetite partook Of
theirs; and when the time came for the grass
hoppers to migrate instinct directed those IN
side Of her to do the same" When this
startling piece Of Information first reached rs
we were inclined to suggess that the fraulein's
name should have been Boomerang, but
further reflection tmpelled Us to brief the story
in as small space as possible and pass It along
the line.

THE correspondents Of some Of the West
ern Journals present what purports to be
the views of General Sherman upon the.
Southern question. He is an ardent ~
lever, we are told, in the effectiveness Of
the posse eOnitGtHs and honest jury trial,
and thinks military power should be used
only as last resort, The preservation Of
order should be left to the civil authorities,
and the army employed only in extreme
cases It Is really refreshing and consoling
to hear this expression Of views from mill
itary man like General Sherman, who
commands our armies and, in the opinion
of some timid people, has it in his power
to overturn our whole fabric Of government
at any moment, if he were so inclined. So
far as the present condition Of affairs is
con cerned, the impression sought to be
conveyed in quoting General Sherman is
that the existing juncture of affairs in the
South does not warrant the interference Of
the military, as has been directed by the
President. But the probabilities are that
General Sherman is not as well informed
upon the subject as the purely Executive
branch OF the Government. he is not
in position to know all the facts as the
Attorney General knows them, and his ut
teTances, printed in what would seem TO
be a spirit Of attack upon the Administra-
ton, in Republican journals, too, ss stead
fast and devoted TO the party as the Entsr-
Ocean, should be read and construed in the
light in which the facts in the case are seen
by him. With ell the official evidence be-
fore him. we have no doubt he would take
precisely the same course of action that has
been taken by the Administration The
attempt 70 place him in any ether sttitude,
which is manifestly the object of the pub
location in question, does him grave in
Justice.

THE contest between Messrs. Hun
ton and Barbour for Congress, IN
the Eighth Virginia district IS be-
coming very warm. As between the
two, both being Conservatives, straight-out
Republicans viii find it difficult to make a
choice Mr.. Barbour, however, seems to
have been badly used by the wire workers
of his party, and perhaps for that reason
viii receive some sympathy from outsiders.
He is a gentleman Of more than ordinary
attachments, and would reflect credit upon
the district if elected; but we still adhere to
the opinion that the Republicans should
make regular nomination. Let them try
a colored man.
