Pointed Rebuke.


A certain Oregon professor was very
fatherly sort of man, particularly toward
his young lady pupils. Whenever a young
lady would ask question he would place
his hand lovingly on her head and make
considerable more fuss than was necessary.
OF course the girls got tired of this and
conspired to break him of his fatherly pro-
cliyities. One of them hit upon plan.
She fixed up nice little pin cushion, had
the pins inserted so that they would stand
on their heads, point upward, and then ad-
iusted the internal machine on top of her
head, covering it with just enough of her
hair to hide it from view. This done, she
left her seat during the session, walked de-
murely up to the professor desk, stood a
moment in his august presence, and then,
in meek and plaintive tone of voice, she
asked him for the information as tc
whether Washington crossed the Delaware
on the ice or on horseback when he left
Trenton. He raised his hand over hel
head and soothingIy said, why, my deal
little child"-We'll have to end this sen
tence there. for the balance of the excla
nation was a sort of half howl, half whoop
which we can neither write nor print
Just as he said child he lowered his hant
caressingly but forcibly upon the crown 0
the girls head, and the whole surface 0
his extended palm felt the tickling and ex
hilarating sensation of a couple of dozen o
pin points.

Grasshopper Soup.


From the Warreusburg (Mo.) News, June l,
Yesterday afternoon Messrs. Riley &
Straight determined to test the cooked
locust question in regard to its adaptablhty
as food for the human stomach. Getting
wind of the late affair, and being always in
haste to Indulge in free feeding, we made
bold to intrude ourselves on our scientific
friends. We found bounteous table
spread, surrounded by the gentleman
named, accompanied by Mrs. Straight and
Miss Maltby Without much waste Of
ceremony there were five persons seated
and we were helped to soup which plainly
showed its locust origin, and tasted like
chicken soup-and it was good; alter sea
soning was added, we could distinguish a
delicate mushroom havor-and 1t was bet
ter. Then came batter-cakes, through
which locusts were we'll mixed. The soup
had banished silly prejudice and sharpen
! ed our appetite for this next lesson, and
batter-cakes quickly disappeared also.
Baked locusts were then tried (plain hop
pers, without grease or condlment), and
either with or without accompaniment.
It was pronounced an excellent dish. The
meal was closed with dessert la John
the Baptist-baked locust and honey-and,
if we know anything, we can testify that
the distinguished scripture character
must have thrived on his rude diet in the
wilderness of Judea. We believe this is
the first attempt at putting this insect te
its best use, and the result is not only
highly satisfactory to those brave enough
to make the attempt, but should this in
sect make his visit oftener and cause
greater destruction, future generations
will hail its presence with joy. 1t will b.
jubilee year-like mama in wilderness. Of
quails in the desert-food without none!
and without price Now, dear reader, vol
may shrug your shoulders and smile, bu
henceforth we shall esteem grasshopper
as luxury to be classed with oysters
truf1es, mushrooms, &c. AS soon as ar
rangcments can be made an assortment o
locusts will be sent to St. Louis for tria
by the scientific researchers of that city.
