going medicinal treatment to free it from a
severe attack of the ePizootic. Notwithstand-

The possibility of Richard H. Dana ever

realized, and the press of the country being
satisfied that such is the case are now men,

NEBRASKA At THE CENTENNIAL,
Gov. CARRIER Has 70 On the Right Step...
Let Others Follow in His Wake.

Gov. CARRIER has taken the question
Of Nebraska's representation at the
Centennial in his own hands, and with
out delay has made the preliminary
arrangements. We interviewed the
Governor yesterday.o on this important
subject and learned some very interest
ing facts concerning it. He informed
Us that Mr. Touzalio, land comuiss-
iooer Of the b. & NJ, had agreed to
ship upon request some three Or four
tons Of Nebrasks's product-uot as
40 advertisement for his road, but to
benefit the State, and furthermore,
that whatever other assistance could
be rendered would be done che, rfully.
Mr. Davis, holding the saue position
on the L. p, has also made similar
promises.
In addition to these encouraging
promise, which will surely be fulfilled,
Gov. CARRIER has secured q loan of
$1,000 frOw the banks of Lincoln, aud
q like amount from Omaha banking
establishments. The Governor will
Immediately proceed to PhiIadelphia
with q view to obtaining suitable loca-
tons for . building Of some sort 10
which to exhibit Nebrask's products.
1t is barely possible that this important
matter has been delayed too long. bu.
it is to b. hoped teat the necessary
grounds can yet be secured. IF success
crowns the efforts of our wide-swake
Governor; he will be prepared to re.
ceiveeN Nebraska products by the 10th
of next month.
Since sowed decisive step has been
takea'i 10 this matter, We suggest that
the Srats' papers comment upon it,
and do what they can towards working
up the required enthusiasm. Gov.
CARRIERS untirina energies should be
emulated IS far possible BY public and
private citizsns. so that We can be
fully represented in the Centennial.
Perhaps q good showing at Philadel-
phia this summer will prove to be tho
best I'd vertisement ever produced for
our young State. Put your shoulder
to the Wheel" oughtto be tho motto
of every man 10 tho State.

We don't like to talk as If We were
frightened, before there is any cause
for alarm. Still it is we'll to think al
the present Of sAe prospects of trouble
from ous old scourge, the grasshopper.
There does not seem just DOW ADV
great probability Of their presence iu
numbers Sufficient to injure the crops.
This is about the time however, TO,
the eggs to be batched out, and the
young to appear. There we're not auv
striking indication last fall of scourge
this spring, and we do not think there
is any strong likelihood of their ap.
pearance now. But it is we'll to be
prepared for the worst. It is well to
watch our fields closely. that the, usy
not come upon US unawsre. 1t is
desirable that our minds be directed 10
them, and if they do appear We may
not be entirely unprepared. In the
Southeastern part Of the State last
spring. the people made . vigorous
and partially successful 6gbt against
the young grasshopper. The leading
men Of those counties express their
conviction that the pest can be suc-
cessfaily overcome if the people geo.
orally take the field against them.
There were two modes used last spring,
dnching- and buEriag. The Young
grasshopper is readily driven, and
driving them into bitches proved very
ef6cacious. If We understand the
second mode, it is TO- scatter straw or
other conrbustible matter over the
5elds, upon which the infant grasshop-
per gathers in the evening. when the
straw is fred. As before stated. Ne
have no reason As yet to feel appre-

Among the throng of spectators at the
opening on Monday night was o slight,
/ pOorly-dressed man, with long yellow
hair, combed out into great cloud like
| Frou Frou's. He is az object of interest
in Washington, and, more than that, an
object OF infinite pity. His form is thin
and quaint; his step nervous and elastic
his manner abstracted; his hands twitch
convulsively when they should be at
rest and his face, i'll repose, is like the
picture of Adam in the Passion Play
at Oberammergau." His days are spent
in the galleries of the House when Con
gress is in session; and during the recess
at the Congressional library and in the
various newspaper Offices. Frequently
he is seen hurriedly pacing the street
with an abstracted, absent air; and
saw him the other day marking queer
hieroglyphics on the lettnr-bOxes that
hang from the lamp-posts. / followed
him from the Capitol to the Treasury,
and on every letter box he wrote differ
ent characters, crossing the street when
ever he saw box on the other side.

SLEIGHING.

The sleigh drew up before the door,
The horses tramped the snow,
Her eyes with fun were brimming o'er--
She didn't want To 90 (?);
Her little foot the runner pressed,
saw her dimpled chin,
Her little hand niy own hand blessed,
And then-l tucked her in.
Hurfah The horses bound along;
We reach the open plain:
My voice broke in merry song,
She followed in the strain.
How glorious was the star-gemmed night,
But, then, twas awful cold;
i shortly found it must be right
Her muff to help her hold.
Song followed song-in careless mirth
We dashed along the way.
All, how much happiness of earth
Was tucked into that sleigh
How lovingly the sweet blue eyes
Beamed softly in my own:
At last l caught. to my surprise,
A tremor in the tone.
The song we sang did not require
A shade of tremolo;
] raised my voice a trine higher
To hide the fault, i know
In vain my heart with love beat high;
And-how, | may not tell
i caught the sweet glance of her eye,
II faltered, and 1t fell.
Darling :" said, no other word
Was sung or breathed apart;
But list'ning close you might have heard
a singing i. each heart.
Her voice has changed bit, You see,
And somewhat sweeter grown,
And when we sleigh, take with me
darling of my own.
