We learn, through Mr.. Tubbs, Mr..
Pierce and others from the southern part
Of the County, that in that section the
grasshoppers have Matched out in quite
large numbers and have gone to work in a
pretty lively manner. Any eating Of crops
that they may do for so ne time yet will
not be of permanent injury and it is hoped
that they will get rid of them before it is
too late for the crops to recover.

How to Break a Colt.

"Ephraim Sleek" in the willamette
Farmer, INDUCES in little pleasant
irony concerning abuses in horse train
ing. He gives the following rules for
breaking a colt: Get him into large
corral. throw a running moose on him,
get on the outside and draw him up to
a post, make the rope fast, poke him
with sticks, spit on his nose, and yell
like a Comanche. Never mind if he
chokes and beats his head against the
fence, he can't feel he ought to have
more sense, anyhow. Keep this up
till he won't jump. Then get on the
inside ; take blanket and throw it un.
der his heels, on his back or anywhere
to frighten him. Don't forget your
yell good pair of lungs goes a great
ways toward tanning a wild horse.
Should you get hoarse, set your dogs
on him. Tell your son to bring you
some old tin cans bang him with these
till you think you have conquered him.
Then scream whoa !" Go up to him
and give him a good familiar slap on the
back. If he gets frightened, and treads
on your toes, curse like a sailor; pum-
mel him with fence rail, and tell him
you'll learn him who he is fooling with.
He'll understand you. Go for him till
you are completely exhausted then sit
down, and tell your son to bring your
saddle. and the briddle with Spanish
bit. Don't forget, to. curse. Then get
up, throw him down and put on your
saddle and briddle. Draw the cinch
tight enough to cut him half in two !;
new one is the best, as it tickles most.
Put on a big pair of bell spurs besides
being good thing to frighten your
horse with, gives you the appearance of
good horseman. Let him up get on;
and if he promises to go along quietly
give him good dig with the spurs
this will cause him to buck and yeu will
have an opportunity to show your fami-
ly what a good rider you are. If he
don't succeed in getting you off, run
him about ten miles and backs Put
him up, and don't feed or water him
for a week. If he isn't broke by that
time give it up as bad job.

Pat Murphy's Dilemma.

One day, in attending to 'applica-
tions for situations on the police force.
the Mayor of a certain town, it was sup
posed, was about to invest Patrick Muir
ply with star, when some of his Irish
competitors outside the railing cried
out 'tAre you goin' to pint Pat, yer
honor He can't write his name, yer
honorl" II am only receiving appli-
cations to-day in fortnight we make
appointments, said the Mayor, and Pat
was told toeall on that day two weeks.
The friend through whose influence
Pat had been induced to apply for the
Office said to him, as they came away
from the hall. ''Now, Pat, go home,
and every night doyOu get / big piece
Of paper and good stout pen and keep
writing your name. I'll set the copy for
you" Pat did as directed, and every
night for q fortnight was seen putting
out his tongue and swaying his head
over Patrick Murphy" Patrick
Murphy in a style of chirography
generally known as a coarse hand. !"
When the day for appointment came
Pat found himself before the Mayor,
ami urged his claim. "Can You writer"
said that excellent functionary. "Troth,
an it's meself that jist kin, answered
Pat. Take that pen" said the Mayor.
t'and let Us see you.write. Write your
name. He took the pen as directed,
when a sort OF an explanatory laugh
burst from his surprised competitors,
who we're in attendance. "Howly Paul /
Dye mind that, Mike? Pats a-writin'
-hes got quill in his fistl" $50 he
has. be jabers n said Mike, :. But small
good it will do him he can't write wild
it, man." But Pat did write he record
ed his name in a bold round hand.
" Thatn do, said the Mayor. His foiled
rivals looked into each others faces
with unfained astonishment. A lucky
thought struck. them. "Ask him toiwrite
somebody else's name, yer honor, said
two Of them in a breath. "That's well
thought Of" said the Mayor. "Pat,
write my name." Here was a dilemma |;
but Pat was equal, TO It. r.Mefvfite
yer honor's name r. exclaimed he with
well-dissembled horror. "Me commit
forgery, and going on the pelisse I
can't do it yer honor !"

Sagacity of Elephants.

Hove's circus was showing at In
dianola when the storm of the Fourth
came on, and because of injury to the
railroads was compelled to remain
there until the track was temporarily
repaired. Then the circus started for
the next place of exhibition. When
about eight miles out, one corner OF a
bridge gave way, and three cars con-
to;ning animals ran off the track and
tnrned over into the mud, very gently.
The first car contained horses, the sec
ond an elk and camel; the other three
the five elephants. The small animals
were easily liberated, but the elephants
were all in a heap. To remove them
the car was cut away, exposing the tops
of the unwieldy animals backs. Then
was exhibited the intelligence which
marks these half-human brutes. They
obeyed every command of the keeper,
crawling on their knees, turning on
their sides, squirming like eels, and as
suming more wonderful and novel posi-
tious then we're described on the show
bills. When released from their peril
GUS position there was not q scratch
upon them, and no school boy ever gave
more emphatic expressions OF relief
from confinement than did those ele-
plants. They trumpeted, swayed back
and fourth, and did everything but talk.
The remaining distance was made over
land, and a happier crew never started
on a narch than were those animals.
The cool, breezy atmosphere and the
bright moonlight were all inspiring.
As the bridges were gone, at each
stream the elephants took fresh enjoy
ment of their liberty AT no time were
they obstinate or disobedient, but
seemed to realize the situation. On ar
irving at Des Moines, railway cars had
to be procured, which was not easily
done, as ordinary cars are too low.
Some were finally found which were
about one inch higher than the tallest
elephants back. They we're brought
alongside and the platform properly
placed, when. Jack noticed that it was a
strange car, seized the door-frame with
his trunk, gave it a vigorous shake and
then tried the floor Satisfied that it
was strong he marched slowly into the
car, placed himself lengthwise, gavf a
rocking motion and bumped his back.
A bolt overhead hit his back, and he
marched straight out of the car. "It's
no use, said the keeper, che won't go
back there again." The ribs which
support the roof were removed, the ele-
plants closely watching the operation.
When this was, done Jack, went in,
swnyed himself, rocked the car, bumped
his back, found everything all right,
trumpeted his satisfaction and went to
eating.

An UnparnIIeIed InventIop.

Take away our improved Machine and ma
chinery and the articles Of utility, comfort and
elegance which emanate therefrom, and what
would be the result? The reply Is obvious and
the contemplation not at al pleasant The
prosperity OF our country is in measure largely
due TO invention; directly but indirectly our
people as q whole are entitled TO q large share
Of credit, as the hberality Of our patent laws
compared with those Of European Government
and the eagerness with which we receive new
articles and invest money in their purchase hAl
called to the shore Of America the finest inveu.
tive genius Of the age. The principle Of sewing
by machinery has been in practical operation ol
over quarter OF . century, but the proper ap-
plieation Of that principle has been a subject
which has engrossed the attention Of the whole
people as well as the master mechanical mind,
and vast amounts Of money have been lavishly
expended in the constant anticipation that ere
long the acme Of perfection might be attained
That such is the case we cannot deny when we
witness the croWning points Of mechanical ge-
MUS as developed in the New American Sewing
Machine, q few Of which are the self.threadin0
shuttle, the first and only one the world has
ever seen; selt-setting needle points Of superior
excellence which save time and annoyance to
the operator, being especially favorable to those
whose eyesight Is impaired; unusual lightness
and ease OF motion, natural result Of the SIM
plicity Of Its action durable, being made from
the best material the country can produce and
one that will last you q lifetime For the past
ten years the New American Sewing Machine
has withstood the tests Of the severest criticism
and malignant abuse from rival agents who
have done their utmost to prevent the introduc-
ton Of a machine so superior in all its parts
and which possesses so many valuable and i'm
portant improvements. The rapidly increasing
demand for the American wherever IL is known,
fully demonstrates the popularity and efficiency
Of this unparalleled invention. The American
Sewing Machine Company have recently opened
q Branch Office in San Francisco at i24 Fifth
street. TO supply want long felt on the Pacific
Coast All those who contemplate purchasing
Sewing Machine will consult their own inter.
ests in examining this latest and eminently su-
perior invention, which surpasses in points Of
excellence any Sewing Machine Manufactured.
