THE BIRDS AND THE INSECTS.

1t is extremely likely that the Kan
sas paper which claims that the 10000
prairie chickens and quails sent to east
ern markets from Kansas, last year,
would have devoured their half-milhon
of grasshOppers had they been left I'M
molested, has hit the truth. 1t is to the
reckless slaughter Of birds-whether
game or song birds. the effect is the
same-that the enormous multiplication
and variety Of hurtful insects is in great
measure due. The killing Of robins,
sparrows, thrushes, blackbirds. bobolinks
and the other birds of our lOng-settled
states has unquestionably increased the
enemies Of fruit trees and the green
growths of the gardens. The ravages
Of the eureulio, for instance, which has
destroyed plum culture in New England
and seriously lessons the peach crop ev-
cry year, in those states where there is
such crop; or of the caterpillar whose
white nests are the sign of ruin to tie
apple orchards and the oak trees; and
of many other insects, have increased as
the birds have decreased. There is lit
tie chance to doubt that the wholesale
destruction of the prairie hens and other
western game birds has caused the in
crease of the western grasshoppers. In
some states. We read. prairie chickens
have been trapped by thousands and fed
to hogs, on the theory that pork can be
salted and sold and birds cannot There
is no protective law. we believe, in any
western state, and the check which the
eastern states have endeayored to oppose
in their strict statutes, forbidding expos
ure to sale after fixed date, is escaped
by shipping the game abroad. 1t is true
that. before game law can be made
useful, public opinion has to be engaged
in Its behalf The insect scourges Of
the past few years ought to have done
this efectually in the West In this
state, except in few localities, the pro.
lection of birds is not very strenuously
enforced. In the mountain districts
there may be said to be no enforcement
at all. unless occasionally in relation t.

The sensible young man is now living
near Council Bluffs, Iowa. Not long
ago be became involved in a quarrel
with no less than FIVE different men. and
challenged each one Of them to mortal
combat. All accepted, and were upon
the ground in time. Then the hero of
the affair said that he wouldn't fight
them all at once, but would fight the
best man first The five began discuss
ing the question of who was the best
man, and got to fighting. They strug-
gled over the subject for about quarter
of an hour, the champion sitting on a
log as uupire, and when the question
was finally settled. the "best man" could
have been whipped by anybody. and
wasn't ready to fight The challenger
walked of with all honors. and was hap
py and proud.

OH! THESE WOMEN!

There really seems to be no end to the
trouble that women are destined to
make for men, and all on account OF
their determination to choose their own
occupations. The last account illustrat-
ing the obstinacy of the sex in matters
of this kind comes all the way from New
Jersey and runs somewhat in this wise:
Mrs. D. w. B. Jones, the jailor of Hud-
son county in the State mentioned, is
the only woman holding official posi-
tion in the State. Her husband, who
had been a soldier in the Federal Army,
had been jailor for some time, and died
about three years since. His widow
was elected by the Board Of Chosen
FreehOlders to the position for the un-
expired term, and was afterwards re-
elected for the full term. A few weeks
since the counsel OF the Board made APP
plicatiOn to Attorney General Vanatta,
who decided that under the State laws
no woman could hold official position,
and an effort was made to remove her.
1t was found impossible to procure the
two-thirdS vote necessary for her re-
moval, however, so this effort failed.
Not to be out-done, these women pro-
tectors of New Jersey who are in favor
of the removal, hold that as the office is
held illegally, the county is without a
Jailor, and hence no removal is neces-
sary. In pursuance of this idea, the
Board at their next meeting resolved
upon the election Of new jailor. and
seven or eight eager candidates were
nominated. This caused such a disvis-
ion of the vote that no choice could be
made. Since the agitation began, Mrs.
Jones has, become an object of sympathy
with many lovers of fair play, and has
received numerous letters, urging her to
hold her position, unless commanded to
surrender it by court of justice. She
has taken counsel in the matter and
will contest her right to hold the office
in the courts of the State. The Board
will, in the meantime, continue their
manly efforts to oust ber-and all be-
cause she is-horrible to relate-she is a
-a-woman. Who says that men do
not strive with might and main to pro-
tect women?

SILENT WORKERS.

Those who are but little interested in
the enfranchisement and further devel-
Opment of woman, or those who are op-
posed to any change in her position,
often suppose that the workers in and
supporters of the cause of Woman Suf
frage consist of the prominent few whose
names flash across the telegraph wires,
and become subjects Of daily comment
for the press. They imagine that the
person who embraces this cause imme-
diately, or as soon as possible after con-
viction, blooms out into lecturer, editor,
or officer of some society or convention,
not dreaming that the great body Of
workers and ardent believers consists of
those whose names are seldom if ever
mentioned in print; mothers at their
fre-sides, instilling the doctrine Of lib
erty and equality into the growing
minds Of their children; men at their
counting-rOoms or shops, influencing all
those around them by their firm belief
and vindication Of right and justice
But, as it is true that the plumed hats
in battle are few, and that victory or
defeat depends upon the soldier without
shOulder-straps, who, marching side by
side with determined tread, push for
ward into the very ranks of the enemy,
so is it also true that behind the promi-
nent workers in tie Woman Suffrage
reform there is mighty force, phal-
anx Of advanced minds, urging on to
action those who baYe talents, abilities,
and opportunities to reach the public
ear. They assist in countless ways, but
so quietly and unobtrusivsly that the
world does rot know them personally,
though it isels'the power of their dsin-
terested benegolence.
