Wright County Tmes:# Farmers
in the woods are finding young
grasshopp'ers in their stubble fields,
and they don't know what to do
about it. ~,
). lie Sueur Sentinel: Numerous
persons in this vicinity have dug or
plowed up thousands Of grasshopper
eggs within the past few days that,
on examination, were found to- be
rotten.
From c. F. Macdonald, editor OF
the St. c loud Times, we learn that
the general opinion in that section,
is that the recent cold wet weather
has destroyed very many if not all
the gra5Shopper eggs, and that the
farmers are feeling greatly encour-
aged.
GOD GRANT IT!
lie Sueur Sentinel: A Glencoe
correspondent of the Minneapolis
Tribune reports that farmers in that
section are deriving much comfort
from the belief that the grasshoppe1
eggs have been largely destroyed
by the recent wet and cold weather;
He says that experiments made
with thousands of them failed tc
hatch one.

A Greenborn Driving Oxen

OF course we can drive the oxen home, we
told the farmer. TIE idea of doubling our
ability, when we have seen them handled,
every day, for the past month He handed
over the log whipand started them, we taking
the proper position in front 1t was easy
enough, though rather monotonous, till we
met q team coming the other way then we
"geed' those oxen into ditch, and running
against tree, came to stand-still. We re-
ceived pleasant smile from the teamster,
as we had given him the whole road. But
there we were We hollered "gee, 'haw,"
and "back" till our throat felt rough. We
couldn't get ahead unless we borrowed an
AK and cut the tree down, and when we tried
to back them, they spread out from the pole
and stood face to face, nearly choking them
selves. Then our patience gave out; we
kicked the near one in the ribs; he play
fully retorted by switching us across the
face with his fly dispenser. We lit pipe
and puffed smoke into their nostrils This
was happy thought; they sneezed over us
and backed, but forgot to stop till they got
a stone wall between them. We went home
to borrow a steam derrick, and before the ar
rangements were made the oxen came in
view and calmly stopped in front of the
barn. You may think there is nothing hu-
man in an OK, but we are ready to swear that
beth winked when they saw us, and one had
positive grin on his face. We refrain from
expressing our opinion of oxen.-NeO York

HARD on EDITORS. Soon after CHER
Justice Chase assumed the guberuatorial
chair in Ohio, he issued his proclamation
appointing Thanksgiving Day. To make
sure of being orthodox, the Governor COM
posed his proclamation almost entirely ol
passages from the Bible, which he did not
designate as quotations, ,presuming that every
one would recognize them, and admire the
fitness of the words as well as his taste in
their selection. The proclamation meeting
the eye of a Democratic editor, he pounced
at once upon it, and declared that he had
read it beiore-couldn't exactly say where
but he would take his oath that il was a
downright plagiarism from beginning to end.
That would have been pretty good fair
Joke; but the next day the Republican edi-
tor came out yaliantly in defence of the
Governor, pronounced the charge libelous,
and challenged any man living to produce
one single line of the PFC anation that had
appeared in print before.

Mutton shonld be Of clear pink tint; firm

wether mutton may be recognized by the

Opinions of the Press.

- New York World: In view Of the
fact that we are to have the State redis-
tricted this winter, every little piece of
information in regard to gerrymandering
will be appropriate. The Washington
correspondent Of The World furnishes an
account of the boldest stroke Of work in
that line that has yet been ventured up
on. When the State of South Carolina
was divided into Congressional districts,
under the Apportionment act of March 3,
1873, the Legislature in order to preserve
an unbroken Radical delegation con-
structed the Third District in the most
marvellous fashion. They selected the
counties of Newberry, Abbeville, Lau-
rens, Anderson, Oconee and Pickens for
the mainr part Of the district, and then
flung in Rfchland, q county twenty miles
away, as make-weight, 30 that the map
of the district looks like sG 0id-fashioned
map of Prussia. The ingenious gentlemen
who arranged the political divisions Of
the State in this way did 30 in direct vio-
lation of the provisions Of the bill under
which they acted. The law expressly
declared that the districts should be
sscomposed of contiguous territory, and
containing as nearly as practicable an
equal number ofinhabitants." It Is clear
that the Third District of South Carolina
Is not entitled to representation under
these provisions. For the sake of politi-
cal honesty the word contiguous" ought
to be strictly interpreted. The most
