GrasshOppers az Food.

Some of the grasshopper- stricken cit-l
izens of Warrensburg, Mo, have adopt.
ed the sage military maxim about "livina
on the enemy.N They are eating the.
grasshoppers-stewed, boiled, fried and.
baked. Such was the peculiar fare set
before five or six epicures of Warrens.
burg the other day, and they pronounced
it excellent
1t Is tie first step that costs, as every
body knows, and tie little company sips
ped the grasshoppet soup with some mis1
givings as to the constancy Of their
stomachs. That ordeal passed in safety,
they proceeded to discuss grasshopper
served in batter cakes, plain, fried and
baked, With honey as a desert. -
= What, if any, wines or liquors were
used to wash down these strange messes,
the account before us does not say. II
would also be worth while ito know
whether the eaters had prepared them
selves for the trial by course of starva
ton. We only learn that the gtasshop-
per banquet was really goodI9no'7 sfF
! And, after all az enc may say, why
should it not be--to those who like it,or
cannot get anything else to eatf Wild
Arabs and Africans enjoy nothing better
than q full meal ofSlocnsts, which, are
only another and uglierlooking variety
of insects, living ON the same food as
grasshoppers. The true son of the viii
derness regards these repusive creatures
as his best windfall-as veritable mamma
from Heaven. II he was living in Ne
braska, Kansas or Missouri, he would
iet the crops 60 Into the grasshopper and
Ytheh put the grasshopper into himself,
and be thankful for the blessing. 80
1 The daring men Of Warrensburg have
only done what millions of Odentals
/ have been doing since the locust frs,
| few. That item on the bill Of fare
sSrasshoppers baked with honey"-only
recalls j ohm the Baptist's fayorite viands
though Scripture does not tell US wheth
er he took them baked together, Or sep
ara:e and plain. 2a'
i It's one thing to prove by experiment
that food against which mankind is
strongly prejuiiced is palatable and
healthful. 1t is decidedly another thing
to cosx mankind to eat it. Those whC
have partaken of horse, cooked after al
the methods of the French cuisine, say
tt is first-rate every way But the worlC
would not believe them. Hippophagy i
now an almost extinct reform 9Ga .
i And 80 we do not expect that the tes
timony from Warrensburg will place tht
grasshopper as a standard dish on tn
tables of the West. 1t will only show
and thatis worth knowing-that peopl
need not starve while grasshoppers ar
around. - R sGi So 2s5st .2aA'fe

Last night James Dixon, "The Sala,

to call himself, gave private exhibit
ton of his powers to "a representative
of this paper. The man is a negro,
black as the ace of spades, and badly
pock marked. AS model for Apollo
he would fail, but as hot coal HEAVIER
he has genius. He applies red hot irons
to his face, arms and legs, and seems
rather to enjoy the sensation. He be-
gan his performance by sprinkling some
resin over a quantity of oakum, on a
Tin plate, and then setting the mixture
on fire. When it was in full tlaze he
cut the oakum. Into small pieces, and
chewed it by bites until the flames were
extinguisbed. While the Salamander
was taking his meal Of fire, an iron rod,
with a flat crescent; shaped blade, was
being heated in small furnace, such as
is used by travelling thinkers, and when
he drew it out its heat was intense -
He drew the red hot blade up and down
his arms and legs and across his face,
after which he licked it with his tongue
until the blade became as black as if
just plunged into water. A cylindrical
tube, about six inches in length, and a
six pound cannon-ball were next heated,
and the Fire King pushed them over
the floor with his bare feet. he The sizze
of-the scorcting noofs; ard the smell
with which it, was accompanied, make it
desirable that this poftions} Of the per-

show that his internal arragements are
as fre.proof as his external. he boiled
some sweet oil and drank off a cup with
evident relish, his eyes turning upward
in apparent ecstasy. = In conclusion, he
heated several strips of fiat iron at one
end, and holding the cool ends, of The
strips he bent the ends into the form of

The American rife team left New
York for Ireland by the City of Ches7
ter on Saturday, followed by the hear
test good wishes of a multitude of
friends. The approaching internation-
al shooting match to be contested in
that country, with the choicest pick of
her rihemen, rises far above the impcr-
tance of an ordinary pastime. 1t is a
great deal more than trial Of skill at
cricket, or football, or running, or other
athletic game aasiia a!7is lgl
The riflei is the mans reliance of mod
ern warfare, and, other things being
equal between two armies, that one
which has the most effective long range
weapon, and can use it best, becomes
the victor As long as war continues
to be the occasional painful resort for
the settlement of difficulties between
nations and sections, practise with the
rifle cannot be safely neglected by reg.
ulars or by militia. 1t isaan indispen,
sable part Of any military system, as
much as uniform, grades, discipline and

This conviction led to the establish
ment of the rife range at Creedmoor,
from which the members Of the Amer.
lean team have graduated with distin-
guished honors as marksmen. The pro-
moters Of the Creedmoor enterprise are
officers high in the National Guard, and
their object is to strengthen tue militia
in this part OF the State in a branch OF
military training where they have here
tofore been notoriously weak The ex-
pertinent has been highly successful.
All the regiments in and about the
city have. practised in turn at Creedmoor,
and have attained much proficiency in

: The American team which has sailed
for Ireland represents the best Of all the
men who have contended at Creedmoor.
Whether they beat or are beaten by the
flower Of the Irish sharp shooters, the
novelty and romance Of the expedition
cannot fail to stimulate an interest in
liie practise among the militia of the
Union, and thus to fit them better to
discharge the duties of sotaier-

The American team goes to ireland
first, by invitation. to accept return
for the hospitalities extended to the
Irish team which visited New York last
year. Should the Americans be chal-
lenged to shoot in England, they will
probably 60 there also, and before their
return may give an exhibition Of skill
in France and Germany. 7fl' 4a2e
