A Grasshopper Story.

Near Topeka, Kan, I talked with a
farmer who planted thousand acres of
corn, but did not gather an ear. Last
year he sold corn for II cents, and this
year he was shipping it from Iowa at
81. 25. He sat on the balcony mourn
ing the utter destruction of his crop.
Chow did they come-the grass
hoppers ?" asked.
''Tkey came like shower, SIR" he
replied. "They came in great shower
from the west. They filed the air.
They dalkened the sun. They covered
the stalk of corn until it was black
Then they ate every leaf, ate the stalk
down to the young ear, and then ate the
little ear, too
"Cob and all, sir?"
''Yes, cob and ALL sWhy, don't
You see that 1000 acres of corn out
there now ?" he exclaimed" standing
like broken whip stocks ?''
"What else did they eat ?' asked.
why, they ate every leaf off of the
peach trees, ate the young peaches,
leaving the stones, and there stood my
trees leafess, bearing a crop of peach
stones. They ate little cottonwood
limbs an inch thick /; they ate my beets,
turnips and onions clean down into the
ground-hollowed 'em out, leaving the
rind-ate cigar stubs, sir, and"
Hold up - I said, 't that's too
much that's"
But it's the solemn truth, sir"
Why, dne night I sat on the balcony
with the engineer of the Santa Fe road.
The hoppers had piled up against the
west side of the house three feet thick.
It was a crawling, stinking, nasty pile.
The balcony was covered. threw
down quid of tobacco, and the hop
pers covered it and ate it up in few
minutes, and when put my foot on
pile of them, the rest sailed in and ate
the smashed ones up. WhB, when /
went to build my fires this fall, the
stoves wouldn't draw, and, on examin-
ing to learn the cause, I found the dues
full of hoppers. They filed the air
with horrid stencil. They covered
the pools and springs with their poison
GUS green excrescence, and made the
cattle sick, they made the hens and
turkeys sick, and they fairly made me
sick. Why. I've seen them SO thick on
the railroad that they'd stop train
grease the track till the locomotive
wheels would roll over and over.
What became of them ?" asked.
"They few east. They always few
in the daytime, and ate at night. They
went through my corn-feld in day.
and the next day they were half mile
to the east. ;"
And the trees ?''
why, they all leaved out again, and
many of them blossomed over again,
and tried to bear fruit, and did bear it
till the frost came. In my trees you d
see dead peach-stones and pink bios
soms-al together. Oh, it was mourn
full sight, sir--dreadful - and the farmer
drew a long sigh.-Cor. Nea0 York ISt,s.

over fifty voyages from Boston to Fayal,

great credit was the saving Of 306 per-

Gratitude in 1866. He transferred all
to his bark, the cargo of which he was
obliged to throw overheard TO make
room for them. and brought them to

" Some may weep and some may laugh,
So runs the world away"

So it is with men upon whom wealth
is suddenly thrust. Some weep be-
cause they have not enough. Others
laugh because their less lucky brethren
have not equaled them in the strife for
wealth, and others still bemoan their
fate because all their friends, relatives
and acquaintance have not become
rich as well, SO that they may never
have to assist them.-GoEd HUI (Nev. J

PRINCE BoRALoJovsK, Servian noble,
who died in Paris the other day, had
been obliged to leave his own country,
from the idea among the country peo-
pie that he belonged to . family of
vampires, the eldest son of which for
three generations came out Of their
graves to suck the blood of living peo-
pc. Tt 10 said that FIVE days before his
death he told his landlord that it would
be well, after his decease to remove his
heart, so as to prevent his rising from
the grave.

Why the Butter Didn't Come.

They have a new hired girl over at
Keyser's farm, just outside of New
castle, and on Tuesday, before start
ing to spend the day with a friend, Mrs.
Keyser instructed the girl to white
wash the kitchen in her absence. Upon
returning, Mrs. Keyser found the job
completed in very satisfactory man
ner. On Wednesdays Mrs. Keyser al
ways churns, and last Wednesday,
when she was ready she went out,
and, finding that Mr.. Keyser had
began to turn the handle. This was at
8 o'clock in the morning, and she turned
untih10 without any signs of butter ap-
pearing.
Then she called in the hired man and
he turned until dinner time, when he
knocked off with some very offensive
language addressed to the butter which
had not yet come After dinner the
hired girl took hold of the crank, and
turned it energetically until o'clock,
when she let go, with the remark which
conveyed the impression that she be-
Eeved the churn to be haunted.
Then Mr.. Keyser came out and said
he wanted to know what was the matter
with that churn anyhow. It was good
enoughs churn If people only knew
enough to work it. Mr.. Keyser then
worked the crank until half-past 3,
when, as the butter had not come, he
surrendered it again to the hired man
because he had an engagement in the
village. The man ground the machine
to an accompaniment of frightful ina
precautions. Then the Keyser children
each took turn for half an hour, then
Mrs. Keyser tried her hand, and when
she was exhausted che again enlisted
the hired girl, who said her prayers
while she turned.
But the butter didn't come. When
Keyser came home and found the
churn still in action he blasted his eyes
and did some other innocent swearing,
and then he seized the handle and said
he'd make the butter come If he kicked
mp an earthquake in doing it. Mr..
Keyser effected 400 revolutions of the
crank minute, enough to have made
any ordinary butter come from the ends
of the earth aud when the perspiration
began to stream from him, and still the
butter didn't come, he uttered one wild
yell of rage and disappointment and
kicked the churn over the fence. When
Mrs Keyser went TO pick it up she put
her nose down to the butteEmilk and
took sniff. Then she understood how
it was. The girl had mixed the white
wash in the churn and left 1t there.
A good, honest and intelligent SER
want who knows how to chuln can
find situation at Keyser's. There id
vacancy.

spies; we are well armed and on the
alert. There are from seventy.five to
one hundred strange Mexicans just below

all having little money, looks ominous.

report large number of idle Mexicans
in Treat Valley and number of horses
