WICHITA, Dec. Goth, 1874.
W. o. CROSBY: The following clip.
ped from the Citizen OF Dec. 4th.
The total vote cast in Kansas at the last cleo
ton was $4,000. nearly ls.o0Q less than two
wears ago. osborn. republican, tor governor
has i3.44. majority. The average majority fo'
the rest Of the stale ticket L. about 1000. The
opposition vote WAS about Loo. and the re-
pubiican vote was 40 less than two year,
ago The legislature is two-th;rds republican.
Which I presume is true. have
made no effort To fluid il not so. and
coucede il TO be true. Still! il is liable
to mislead. You of course insert il
with no such intention. That. how
ever. is none the less an injury TO our
state. Counting the usual number OF
five inhabitants to the voter. the con-
clusion is Of course there is 1900 less
number of people in Kansas now than
there were two years ago. The truth
however. is, there are nearer twice that
number now.
Then why such disparity in the num-
Der of votes poilcd The following
taken from a Parsons paper tells part
of the reason, but not all Of il:
Iii ascertailsi By absolute count that 10
four miles square. around Parsons. there are
more than seventy voters. al democratic,
who didn't 70 10 the pals on election day.
The same ratio throughout the state wetau
have been sun -ieat to elect the entire Op-
position ticket by very large majority Pr
seas Esi.nss.
Parsons is in the extreme southeast
of the state. 10 miles from this coun-
~: and still what Is true of Parsons
is true OF this county, sad OF most the
other counties ia the state.

For the EAGLE:
CRASH oppere.

Mr.. EDIToR:-l would like through
courtesy, to answer some eastern
friends, asking me to tell them all
about the choppers"
During my five years residence
here, can say that our native grass
hOppers are ne more numerous, or de-
structivo than they are in the New
England and Middle States, generally,
and the past season they were below
the usual quantity until the first week
in August, when the travelling scourge
came down on our cultivated fields
and splendid growing crops, and left
them the last week, in the same month,
like storm swept desert.
The male hopper varies from seven
eighths to one inch in length. with
their wings and legs each the same
length as the body. The female is one
and one-fourth added to the size of the
male, and seen ut q little distance
clustered on crops or trees, in color
they resemble bees, but flying in the
sunlight, high in the air, they look like
fakes of snow, showing their under
wings. Their fligh: is from five to
twenty miles per hour, some times. as
[ viewed them with my marine glass,
they seemed to be flying about, anus
ing themselves, like buzzards on the
wing.
Before stating the numbers aud guam
tity, will state that made ii partly
by count, aud mostly by estimate. ]
ascertained the number in cubic inch
and multiplying it by the number of
inches in bushel, found it to be 49,
900 and took what thought might be
an average rod in my sons corn field; l
found it to be ten quarts, or fifty BUSH
els to the acre, or 5000 bushels on his
even hundred acres, and 5,000x4S. 900,
is 2l5,O00,O00 grasshoppers and as
there is 5000 acres of cultivated land
in this county, and if all average alike,
il would make on the cultivated fields,
alone the sum of 100000 bushels, or
81, 400, OOO, 900 grasshoppers, there was
but very few females, comparatively,
with them, and found it very difficult
to estimate their lumber. I put it
down at one in 5000.
Fifty bushels Of corn to the acre is
not a large yield; but who that saw
the large clusters hanging on each hill
of corn, and other vegetables, includ-
ing the little fruit trees, will say that
the estimate is too large.
Imade no estimate of the millions
| on our uncultivated fields, and forest
trees.
Iwould speak Of the effect of the
loss Of our crops, but the public, and
our good and charitable friends, have
been appraised of this from other and
variable sources.
Although our past::year's crops are
wasted, aud our sustenance, and grain
for stock. gone, still the light Of the
sun never shone upon richer or bet
ter farming country, nor did the breez-
es of heaven ever fan more healthy
people, or blow on country where
| there is a more energetic, or piucky
race, with hearts TO help the needy,
and souls 20 sympathize with the At
ficted.
December Slsf, hour Of midnight,
1874. is gone. and the clock is striking
the knell OF the departed year, with all
Of its joys and sorrows, and may its
grasshoppcrs never rise again. A
happy New Year to all.

SAYS:
One of the questions of the day is
whether Phil. Sheridan is TO ride down

before: his reputation as rider aud
raider stands high. but as a seother of
political troubles and correcier of po-
litical abuses he is anything but n sue

Butler county pays twenty cents less
taxes on the hundred dollar valuation,
than any county in the state. This IL
owing to the fact that they have voted
no bonds; and the further fact
that they have always had an econo-

In December the Druggists Circu-
lar, of New York, published an ac-
count of man in Gilroy, California,
who is in the habit of taking large
quantities of strychnine after a pro-
tracted debauch, in order to counter
act the effects of whisky, and a re-
cent number of the Gilroy Advocate
fully coroborates the story. He has
been known, under such circum-
stances, to eat the eighth of an ounce
of this deadly poison in a few hours,
without experiencing any unpleasant
effects; but, on the contrary, after
swallowing a few doses of the stuff,
he would quickly recover from the
excessive, nervousness and prostra-
ton. He has been in the habit Of
using the drug for this purpose since
1856.
