The marvel is that it did not sveep ovar A.
whole region, when We read of the wanton e Sn
structlon of its birds. An item in a Chic.
paper not long since, stated that 10000 ouaiIs aSJ
prairie chickens were fed to swine in a single 5ay
IN the city. 1t goes on to say that in the eonntTr
west OF Chicago, quails, ruffed grouse, and nrai,
RE chickens are destroyed by the million. ;rra-
spectlve of law or season. Tons of birds spara5
and shot out of season are boiled down and fsJ
to swine. On one day there stood in the corner
OF two streets a wagon containing one hundred
and eighty dozen of prairie chickens, Will. on
the near sidewalk were piled thirty-seyen boxes.
containing five hundred and sixty dozen OF
quails, corrupt, decomposng, and condemned bv
the health officers rs only fit for swine They
arc trapped, shot and shared, and sent to m.
market, where they find n ready sale up to the
middle OF March, and yet the indiseriminate
slaughter continues. The young birds and set
ting hens are alike captured and sent to Chicago
and other cities ON commission, and destined to
be fed to swine. The birds must soon disappear
before such recklessness and vice. Yes, the birds
have disappeared, almost entirely, from many
western localities, and grasshoppers and other
noxious insects have multiplied and swarmed
forth to spread famine and desolation. The di-
vinely arranged balance between birds and in
sects has been destroyed by ruthless bird killers
and the cry of famine rings out over the land.
Such is the retribution for the violation of the
equipOise of nature, aud making of diseOrd in the
divine harmony of natures work.-Harttord ct }

ENDoRsED.-The st. Joseph Gazette is eminent
ly sound on the Providence question. We sub
scribe to its platform. 1t does not believe that
the assassination of Lincoln was dispensation of
Providence, but the work Of a misguided assas-
sin, carrying out the plans of worse but less cOur-
ageous men than himself To believe otherwise,
would be to regard Booth as chosen instrument
of Providence whose name will be execrated as
long as the world stands, for having done the
will of Heaven. Neither does the Gd-ette believe
that the grasshOppers are sent by Providence as
a special punishment for the sins of the people
of Missouri, nor that they can be prayed away !;
but that they are the natural result of natural
causes. Other States besides Missouri suffered,
that did not commit her sins What cruel and
unjust being God must be, if we hold to the doc
trine of special Providences- The people of a
State or district [an1aJoffty Of thein) commit a
great sin and God sends special punishment
bringing misery npon thousands of good and in-
nocent people, who have not sinned, that the Of
tenders may be punished. Or, the holy people
offer up prayers and make sacrifices and thereup-
on the plague is removed, not only from
them, but from the wicked ones who brought it
down, and who have not prayed If God sees fit
to send down special curses or blessings, he has
the power to send them directly upon the
wicked or the good, as the case may be, although
they may reside upon adjacent lots. Whenever
that comes to pass, as rule, we shall believe in
special Providences; but until then, We prefer to
believe in natural causes.

OHo.-The Republican Convention of OHIO,
last week, did a good work. They nominated
Gen. Rutherford B. Hayes for Governor, and re-
pudiated third term. Other strong candidates
were before the Convention, and Hayes positive
ly refused to consent to his name being used 4;
but the Convention disregarded his refusal, NOM
mated him by large majority, and demanded
his acceptance. This is an evidence of popular
ity not to be mistaken, and if Hayes is not cleo
ted, it will be because of gross apathy on the part
of Republicans. Hayes has already twice been
Governor of the State.
Judge Taft, who was a leading candidate, is
doubtless good man, and his decisions were
probably correct, but if nominated, he would in
evitably have been defeated. In closely con-
tested State like Ohio, when a mans friends
have to explain and apologize for his record, to
satisfy his own party, whatever that record may
be, it is certain defeat to nominate him.

SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE GRAssHoPPERs.-
That the pestiferous insect, with buoyant wings
and monstrous legs, is bound to have a very i'm
pressive effect upon the prices of grain and pro-
visions there can be no question. No such panic
as now promises to prevail in the Northwest
provision marts can fail to have prodigious in
fuence upon politics. The ravages of grasshop-
pers may save the United States by reminding
the people that ever since Sumner, Greeley,
Grant & Co. have come upon the scene of action,
to reconstruct society and defy the mandates of
Jehovah, the country has, in the long run, had
no genuine prosperity. The Radical factions of
the East and West have tried their foolish ex-
pertinent long enough to everybody's cost. Let
them return to the principles of the fathers of
l775, and perchance We shall be freed from hu-
man grasshoppers as well as the bug which now
swallows our sustenance.-Augusta( (Ga.) Constitu-
tioRdIst 23d

A Mrs Jennie Short of Fredonia, Wilson Coun-
ty, went to Kentucky last Winter, and succeed
ed in raising nearly fifteen hundred dollars for
the destitute in Kansas" Some of the contrib
utors to the fund, fearing that the agent "went
short on the distribution, called for a report
The sister made one, and among the items for
which it was shown thst the money was expnd-
ed, were $3.50 to pay of debt on the Christian
Church in Fredonis, and for the purchase of a
bell; and $3.50 was kindly appropriated to Mrs.
Short for salary aud travelling expenses. The
rich part of the affair is that Sister Shorts hus-
band was the party who held the Indebtedness
against the church, and to whom the money was
paid. The other Sufferers" received the benefit
of S53S.46, which was about all Sister Short SEEM
ed to think they were entitled to.-Wichita Bea-

A PANACEA.-"The grassbopper panacea seems
to have been discovered at last. W. d. Arnett,
who lives on Bear Greek, about ten miles from
town, has discovered q process for their extermi-
nation which he deems infallible. He spread a
canvas with coal tar and then spread the canvas
on the grasshoppercovered ground with the fol-
lowing beneficial results. Every hopper that is
the least mite touched by tar is defiled to such
an extent that death is bis certain fate, and, as
may well be imagined, the process is quite as
comprehensive as it is effective. With sufficient
force at work it can be spread over no inconsid-
cradle extent of territory in a comparatively
short time, and in no instance, they say, has it
proved failure. All Mr.. Arnett's neighbors are
trying its beneficial results, and millions of hop
pers have already suceumbed to the pressure."-

No UsE.-Several farmers have been urging us
to sound the warning to farmers not to fall into
the clutches of the men who are offering to lend
money at big per cent, to be secured by FIVE
year mortgages on their farms. They say it is
bound to break every man that goes into it, and
leave him more deeply involved than before.
They say, better let the Sheriff sell them out at
once, and they will have five years in which to
try to get start somewhere else; but by bor-
rowing and mortgaging, it will be five years
struggle against fate, only to sink deeper in the
mire of ruin each year. There may be truth in
this, but it is useless to say much about it. 1t is
like man who knows he must die, yet will fight
every inch of his way, even if he expends his es-
tate in his hopeless efforts, and leaves nothing
for his family in the end. In fighting against ru-
in, men will seize upon every plank, upon every
straw, and upon every shadow, to keep their
heads above water to the last moment Nothing
but actual experience will satisfy them.
