that paper draws the following en-
couraging conclusions:
l.. There are no grasshoppers in the
district devastated by them last year,
nor in any part of Minnesota north,
south, east or west, except in a very
small area and in comparatively small
numbers, confined to the grour of coun-
ties on or near the great bend of the
Minnesota river, consisting of a small
district Of Blue Earth County, some
townships of Brown, Nicollet, and lie
Sueur, with some very small and feeble
detachments Of skirmishers in Meeker
and Mcleod counties.
2. As the grasshoppers spread over
the whole western part of the State last
fall and the conclusion is inevitable
that their eggs have been entirely de-
stroyed, everywhere except in the small
area above designated, and that they
are in comparatively small numbers in
that district, the greater part Of them
were destroyed even there.
3. Lastly we conclude that there is no
danger Of general or devastating grass
hopper raid in Minnesota; that 1t will
be limited to spots in a small district, land
that the number in that district are SO
small, that most farmers can probably
protect their crops by taking the prope,
precautions.

full account of the destruction
wrought by the choppers" in Kan
sas:
We have had a very cold and
backward spring with very little
rain. 1t looks discouraging here.
The grasshoppers are Matching by
the million; in fact they cannot be
counted any more than you could
count the sands of the sea. They
are taking everything before them.
there are more now than there were
last fall, and not nearly all the eggs
are hatched, and they will have to
stay until they get their wings, and
those that pretend to know say that
it will take six weeks or two
months.
Almost the same report comes
from Missouri. Cattle are said to
be actually starving to death, and
the Chicago Tribune thinks that
Iowa and Illinois are liable to suffer
terribly from the same miserable

BILL OF FARE FOR A CAMPING
OUT PARTY.-For the benefit Of
our friends who may be able to get
few spare weeks from the drudgery
of the farm, the shop, office, Or store,
during the coming summer, either to
spend in the delightful recreation Of
fishing, or in exploring our frontier,
we give the following bill Of fare
from St: Nicholas. The provisions
named are designed for a party Of
six: in the matter Of cooking uten-
sils for the average party, little or
no expenditure need be incurred:
Here is a list, and perhaps even one
or two of these might be omitted: Hard
tack, salt pork, ham, potatoes, corn
meal, coffee, sugar, condensed milk,
salt and pepper.
We have found that a barrel of hard
tack will last party Of six between
three and four weeks, if they occasion
ally manage to get supply of softer
bread.
Of salt pork which we shall find in
dispensible in cooking the fish, We shall
want at least ten pounds. The corn
meal will be useful to roll the fish in
before frying them, as we'll as in MAX
ing corn dodgers, slapjacks and Johnny
cakes. Indeed, for any of those dishes
which our genius for cooking can invent
corn meal is far better than -four, and
twenty, or even thirty pounds will be
none too much for three weeks trip.
one good sized ham, six pounds of coffee,
twenty pounds OF sugar, four cans of
condensed milk, and liberal supply of
salt and pepper will complete our stores.
1t may be easier to get the potatoes
near the camp than to take them from
home.
The only things now left to be pro-
vided are the cooking utensils. A small
sheet iron stove is much more conven-
lent than Fireplace of stones, and any
good tinman will give us just what we
want if We ask for a "camp stove" "
This, together with coffee-pot, spider,
tin pail for boiling potatoes, tin plate,
cup, knife, fork and spoon for each
member Of the party, ought not to
cost more than fifteen dollars.
I These articles are all made especially
for camping parties, so as to 60 inside
Of the stove, which has handle at ca ach
end, and can thus be carried easily, like
small trunk.

finds that he means war to the
knife, in bis contest with Strait. If
he can prove all he says he can, he
ought to win, and we are more than
half inclined to believe him. We
heard the boys say after Strait was
here, that he was the most liberal
man with cigars that had ever been
around. Now we would like to
know what interest Major Strait had
in hitching the "boys" on to the
ends of costly Havannas at an ex-
pense Of several dollars a day if it
was not to bribe them to vote for
him? Strait can't speak but he can
smoke his friends most efectually.
Let him arise and explain. This is
part Of what the Mail man got from
Mr.. E. St. J. c. of his estimate of
the electioneering of his strait oppo-
nent:
1t was downright bribery and corrup-
tion. Men were paid money down to
vote for him. After being out in the
campaign and returning to my home in
St. Peter, ut noon on election day,
found nearly every saloon gainst me.
Money flowed like water. This condi-
ton of affairs was still worse in the
frontier counties, where he used money
among the poorest people in the dis
trict.
All of which and more he claims
to be able to prove. Go in Strait,
90 in Cox, we are for the best man,
and little showing up OF the mod
ern style of electioneering, on top
of the busting" up Of fraudulent
rings, will be a good thing for the
stomachs of the people.

MOSQUITOES AND GRACE.-In or
der that our readers may have more
grace to endure the Affections of the
little insect which has heretofore
been considered a useless pest and
may be saved from the frequent
temptation to break the sd COM
mandment, by the thought Of the
noble work the mosquito is doing
for the race, we give the following
pleasant theory of the learned Doc
tor named:
DR.. Samuel W. Francis says that it
is his " firm conviction that the mosqui-
to was created for the purpose of driv-
ing man out of the malarial DISTRICTS"
and "that no region where chills and
fever prevail can be free from the pest"
"Now," he adds, if man will not 20
after the warning is given in humming
accents, then the mosquito injects hypo-
dermically little liquid which answers
two purposes-6rst, to render the
blood thin enough to be drawn up
through its tube, and second, to inject
that which possesses the principles of
quinine.''
Hereafter, when the mosquito
bites, only remember that you are
getting a needed dose of quinine
and let him bite. Verify, every
thing has its use.
