FIGHTING GRAsSHOPPEas.
The Method Adopted by Some Iowa Farmers
to Rid Themselves of the Pests.

WRIGHT COUNTY, Iowa. July Is, 1874.
For the past month the people in this
county have been living in a state verging
between hore and fear on account of the
grasshoppers. While we sincerely hoped
that the pests would not visit us, we great
ly feared they would. For several weeks
we had been hearing reports Of the terrible
ravages they were making in counties to
the west and northwest Of US, and otcourse
we could not help but exhibit considerable
anxiety The days were counted, and
people would say, if they only stay away
two weeks we shall be all right Then it
came down to twelve days, next to ten,
then to eight, and finally people began to
to feel more hopeful and said there would
be no grasshoppers at all. This was the
state OF the people when all at once some
thing like
A CLOUD SWEPT OVER THE sun,
and down they came in countless billions.
If the cry of 1.-The Greek the Greek
they come ! they comet" struck conster-
nation into the camp of the Turks, that OF
| the grasshoppers' made the people in
this locality look rather blue. The grass
hoppers were not allowed to have it all
their own way, and, if they had to lose
their crops they were determined not to
let them be destroyed without struggle
No sooner had the curses taken up their
positions in the grain fields than old straw
piles were hauled out, and old grass, which
was Immediately set on fire, and on this
was thrown green grass, which created a
dense smoke, and as the wind swept this
through and over the grain fields, the
grasshoppers, with noise resembling
distant thunder, would rise in clouds,
ascend above the smoke, and soar away
for other parts. believe this is the first
county that has tried the experiment Of
smoking the pests, and to this is to be at
tributed the saving OF their crops.
The damage by grasshoppers in this
county will be very light, and if we can
only succeed in keeping them off for a week
longer the harvesting of the most boun'
tiful crop this county ever yielded will be
commenced. Wheat, oats, and corn never
looked so well, but potatoes are suffering
a little from drought

The Fatal Duel at Naples.

In commenting upon the duel, attend
ed with fatal results, which has just
taken place at Naples, the London
Morning Post observes that one of the
figures best known for some years past
in the public resorts of Rome, in the
Corso, and on the Pincio, Signor Agas-
sa di Rombello had insulted Signor
Achille Raspantini, at present lieutenant
in regiment of italian cavalry. Di
Rombello went so far as to strike Ras-
pantini. This was referred to jury of
officers, who decided that duel must
take place; that they must fight with
pistols; that the duellists must aim at
the breast; that the duel must
continue until one Or both of
the duelists should be wound
ed, and that on no account either of
them should be permitted to fire his
pistol in the air. The seconds, we are
told, mitigated; though we do not learn
in what way, the above conditions. The
party arrived at o'clock in the morn
ing at the churchyard of Ariengo, in
the province Of Caserta, that spot hav-
ing been chosen as the scene of the en-
counter. At the first signal Signor Di
Rombello received bullet in the heart
and died simultaneously. His corpse
was consigned to the Mayor of Ariengo,
and the whole party returned to Naples
9 affected and sad," the italian papers
inform us.

Sowing and Roaming

We live by thought, and by the men who SD AXE
The darkness unto light
Who babe the spirits morning break
Forth from the womb of night
And i'll that great deliverance assts
Revealed new world at a glance.
Yet oft that living thought is born of death.
Arid the stern land lies
No springs invisible beneath,
No rain-clouds in the skies
The martyrs blood, and tears and toll
Alone may irrigate the soil.
The crimson fountain bubbles in deep Clio
The funeral pyre's aglow ...
And all around the yawning tomb
The harvest gins to grow,
Lo forth the sturdy reapers come
So shout the welcome Harvest Home
The sickle sheathed, the crop is gathered in.
And ga1nered in the brain;
Not all the kings who victories win
May root it out again;
Nor check the spread, through years unknown
Of future harvests to be sown.

A Little Fun with a Dog.

Wayne Hovey, editor of Mr.. Bergh' s

meanest specimen of cur [ ever knew
-mangey, bow-leged, and yellow at
that. But he had pair of eyes like
black beads, and what he lacked in
natural talent he made up in practical
experience. My father liked the dog
because he was useful. He drove the
COWS up in the morning, kept the boys
out of the watermelon patch, and was

ebrated brought disaster to our house,
or rather barn, which I shall never for

Spring for rousing the family when we
came home late nights, and, boy-hke,
we proposed to pay him off. My elder
brother had bought bunch of the
largest size fre-crackers-a kind that
do not see nowadays Spring had
been induced by many fair promises of
meat to accompany us up the road,
about quarter of mile from the
house. Here he was ruthlessly seized,
and before he could turn to bite he was
he was pinned to the earth by at least a
dozen of hands. The next thing he
knew he had not less than 100 fire

were lighted, and he was released.
Never did dog make better time for
home. Every time he jumped he
yelped, and every time he yelped fire.

house some time before we did, and in
the excitement of the day was soon for

we were permitted to forget him. In
less than half an hour the old gentle
mans barn was discovered to be on fire,
and when the flames had reached point
at which we gave up all hope of saving
the building the dog crawled out from
beneath the underpinhing. In his fright
he had carried the fire. crackers with
him into the hay and set fire to the
barn. He came off with a signed tail,

looked upon it as sort of Judgment,
and have ever since been more careful

La Dame Aux Camelias.
BY T. 3. ALDRTCH,

BI l. b. ALDhlCh.
K think that was the play;
The house was packed from pit to dome
With the gallant and the gay
Who had come to see the Tragedy,
And while the hours away.
There was the ruined spendthrift
And the beauty in her prime;
There w@e the grave Historian,
And there the man of Rhyme,
And the sllrly Critic front TO front,
TIE see the play of crime.
And there was pompous Ignorance,
And Vice in flowers and lace;
Sir Cresus and Sir Pandarus,
And the music played apace,
But Of all that crowd I only saw
A single, single face
That of a girl whom had known
In the summers long ago.
Nhan her breath was like the new-mown hay,
Or the sweetest flowers that grow;
When her heart was light, and her soul was
white
As the Winters driven snow.
And there she sat with great brown eyes,
They wore troubled look
And I read the history of her life
AS it were an open book;
And saw her soul, like Shiny thing
In the bottom Of a brook.
There she sat in her rustling silk
With diamonds on her wrist,
And on her brow q cleaning thread
Of pearl and amethyst
"a cheat, q gilded grief p" I said,
And my eyes were filled with mist
4 could not see the players play;
1 heard the music moan;
&c moaned like a dismal Autumn wind,
That dies in the woods alone:
And when it stopped I heard it still
The mournful monotone
What if the Count were true or false?
/ did not care not |;
What ii Camille for Armand died?
did not see her die.
There sat d woman opposite
With piteous lip and eye!
The great green curtain fell on all,
On laugh, and wine, and woe,
Just as death some day will fall
'Twixt us and life, know,
The pay was done, the bitter play
And the people turned to go.
And did they see the Tradgey? &
They saw the painted scene;
They saw Armanda the jealous fool
And the sick Parsian queen ;
But they did not see the Tragedy
The one I saw, mean.
They did not see that cold-cut face,
That furtive look of care:
Or. seeing her jewels, only said,
The lady's TIC, aid fair.
But l tell you. twas the Play OF Life,
And that woman played Despair!
