A Dangerous Paper.

The green paper used to wlap
about lozenges, sold in shops, rail-
road cars, and on street corners,
has long been suspected to con.
tain arsenic, and with the view of
ascertaining the fact by analysis
we recently purchased roll of
lozenges covered with this paper.
A qualitative examination of this
paper afforded all the characteristic
reactions Of arsenic and copper.
The wrapper contained twenty
fqnare inches of paper. Of this
sixteen were taken for qualitative
analysis. The result of the ex-
animation showed this portion
contained 2.4l grains, 2 81 grains
in the whole of wrapper quar- .
tity sufficient to destroy lie in an
adult person. Children in all
parts Of the country are allowed TO
purchase the lozenges covered
with this poisonous paper. and
the rolls are often put into the
hands of infants as a play thing.
As everything goes into the mouth
of young children, it is easy to
see that no more dangerous sub
stance can pass into family than
these packages of confectionery.
1t is quite probable that instances
of poisoning have occurred IRON
his cause which have been of
1 serious or fatal character.
There should be laws prohibiting
he use of poisonous paper for any
purpose.

The Grasshopper Plague.

THE actual existence Of a fam
Inc in Nebraska must equally
shock and astonish the more fol-
tunate inhabitants of our other
States. No other country in the
world can compare with America
in It's prodigious fertility and al
most iufiuite natural resources.
1t is the richest and greatest of
food and fuel-producing lands on
the face of the earth, and supplies
lwo-thirds of civilization with ed
ible exports. Yetin one of our
most naturally fertile States,
where corn is ordinarily SO cheap
and SO plenty that it has been the
farmers custom to convert a large
portion of their prOdigious crops
into winter fuel, ten thousand
men, woman and children are liter
ally starving, and even destitute
Of the clothing and fuel necessary
to save them from perithing of
want during the bitter winter. 1t
would be an everlasting disgrace
upon the Nation should any of
these unfortunate, hard-toiling
people be suffered to perish during
the winter from cold or famine,
while plenty teens to north and
south, west and east. The visi-
tation under which Nebraska now
suffers was sudden as the legenda.

upon the part of its helpless vic
tins. A day might yet arrive
when our own State might be de-
vastated by some such awful
Scourge.

Stocking Brooks with
Trout.

A farmer in Wisconsin sends
to the Western Farmer the fol-
lowing statement in regard to
the ease with which those hav-
ing brooks running through
their land may secure trout
streams for themselves, suppos-
ing that there is a reasonable
immunity from the incursions
of trespassing fishermen
"a year ago, having more
young front than my pond would
accommodate, | put few thou
sand into a barren stream near
by. They were then about one
inch long. A few days since |
thought I would see what they
had done. / took my rod and
a couple of my little boys and
went 10 the branch, and in less
than an hour caught thirty, all we
wanted, and might have caught
hundreds, as We could see them
in schools Of fifty or a hundred
in place for a mile up
and down the brook. They
were about seven inches long,
or what would be called nice
catch. AS this same thing can
be done by every brook of pure
water (either hard or soft in
the State, | submit if it would
not pay the owners of the
brooks to stock them, if in moth
ling else in furnishing one more
attraction for the farm. If not
for themselves, for the boys; re-
creation is as necessary to them
as meat and bread, and if they
can't find it on the farm they
will hunt it in the village.
Many of us can recollect how
attractive the brook on our faith
er's or neighbours farm was, and
how its willy denizens taxed and
developed our young skill and
ingenuity in their capture. "

How to Head the Army
Worm.

The army worm has, in Cali,
fornia, met an actual defeat.
These creatures appeared in vast
numbers on the be,t fields near
Sacramento, and opposition was
utterly powerless by trenches or
by fire, but the experiment of set
ting turkeys against them proved
completely successful. The birds
rushed at them, aud for several
days lived upon no other food,
supplying themselves almost to
surfeit with this delicious treat
For a while it was uncertain
which party would prevail, but
latest accounts report complete
triumph for the birds. The tur-
key crop has disposed of the worm
and saved the beet crop-lnd in.
asmuch as the beels were in hun
dreds of acres cultivated for SUI
gar, the victory saves an impor
tant industry that was threatened
with entire destruction. Some
of the birds suffered. One, in.
deed, died, and being dissected was
found to contain 1882 worms, of
which were sill alive. There
were about 5000 turkeys engaged,
and the total number of worms eat
en- may be calculated at leisure.
The method of removing the
pests by putting against them their
natural destroyers is eminently
sensible, and there is lesson in il
Tor more Elstern farmers.

considerably improved.
The Middle States have been
considerably enlarged. and i'm
proved their yield, New York
reporting an increase Of sixteen
per cent.
Of the South Atlantic States
Maryland falls one per cent. and
Virginia six per cent. below last

three and Mississippi two per
cent. Texas a decrease of seven
per cent. In quality Alabama

of these States are q third grea-
ter than that of the census year.
North Of thesOhio, Illinois G.
quals that of last years crop
while Wisconsin on account of
the grasshoppers, falls 30 per
cent. short, which reduces the
aggregate yield of this section,
below last year. Ohio increa-
ses her yield Is per cent, Mich
igan % per cent. and Indiana
8 per cent. All show improved
quality except Wisconsin, which
declines % per cent.
The. aggregate yield Of States
west of the Mississippi is also
short of last years. Missouri

braska 1 per cent, but Mime
sofa declines 16.p cent, Iowa
2'per cent, land Kansas 5 percent.

is greatly increased and is fully
so per cent. above the census
year. California has increased
her yield 10 per cent, and Ore
gon equals the quality of last
years crop. California improves
hers by 3 per cent. The total
yield will be nearly, if not quite
equal to the census year.

RAPE-MURDER.
Swift and Terrible Justice.

Swift and Terrible Justice.
One of the most diabolical murders we
have ever heard of, was committed in this
county last Sunday. The affair is more
shocking because it is the double crime Of
rape and murder, and the victim a
child. Little Alice was a daughter Of
Geo. w. Moody, deceased, a we'll remem>
bered citizen of Carter county, and a
grand slaughter of J. b. Farr, Esq, with
whom she was living, her mother and
father both being dead. On Saturday
last her grand mother allowed her to 20
to hei Uncle's on q visit, who lives some
two miles distant, not thinking that any
thing serious could befall Der, as she was
frequently visiting backward and forth,
passing through a thickly settled neigh.
borhood, only a small strip of woods in
~tervening. Nothing more was thought
Of Alice until Thursday--election day
when her Uncle and grandfather met at
the polls. She had left her Uncle's house to
go home on Sunday and he thought she
was at home, while her grand parents
were thinking all the while that she was
only prolonging her visit to her Uncle's.
Thus, toar days had passed and the facts
was revealed now, for the first time, that
the child was missing. The alarm was at
once given aud soon spread throughout the
neighborhood. The idea seemed to pre-
vail upon the mind of every one, from
the first, that something terrible had
happened to her this apprehension was
deepened when it was aseertained that
nc one in the community had seen or
heard of her since Sunday. Parties were
sent out in different directions to search,
and without difficulty, she was soon found.
Her Uncle, with another party, pursuing
a small pathway leading through the
strip of woodland referred to, came in
contact with q disagreeable odor, which
was u~nmistakable, and following this
some forty yards from the path into a
small thicket Of under.brush and weeds
they discovered the body. The discovery
was at once announced and o q sorrow
stricken community were gathered to the
spot to witness the appalling spectacle of q
little girl-snly elecea years old -way>
laid by some iucarnate fiend. violated and
murdered. The writer will not attempt
to describe this scene, and the one which
followed although Alice was an orphan,
no father nor mother there to weep for
her, she had a world of friends and tley
were there to bemoan her sad and un>
timely end. Before removing the re-
mains, experts were summoned, and a
thorough examination Of the person aud
