Bradford opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1874-1881, 1876-08-26

The american Grocer, after recon-
mending the busy mothers to take a day
now and then to HE away to the woods
with their little ones, tells what to take
to eat: Sandwiches can be made in the
following way: Boil few pounds of
ham, and chop it very fine while it is
still warm-fat and lean together. Rub
dry mustard in proportions to suit your
taste through the mass; add as much
sweet butter as would 60 to the spread
ing of your sandwiches, and when it is
thoroughly mixed split light biscuits in
halves, and spread the ham between.
These can be eaten without trouble, and
will be found excellent. Add to them
some oranges, or any other fruit in sea-
son, loaf of cake, u bottle of cold tea
we'll sweetened, small lump Of ice
wrapped in fannel--and you are well
provisioned for the day. Ii your excur-
sion is to the seashorc, instead OF the
woods, you can hoist your blanket upon
four sticks and make tent, under which
you can sit or lie shielded from the sun,
while your children paddle in the water,
dig CLAIMS, or do any of tho thousandand
enc things which children find to do on
such occasions.
A taste for this kind of outdoor living
needs to be cultivated among the women
of our county, taste which would
smooth the wrinkles of care from their
brows, and chase the sallowness from
their cheeks

The GrasshOpper Plague.

The plague of grasshoppers is upon
Iowa again. and devastation is stalking
over the northwestern part of the State.
Clay, Osceola. O'Brien and Lyon coun-
ties are being overrun by them, and re-
ports from there say that they stretch
away to the British possessions, and ex-
tend one thousand miles east and west.
The ground is covered by them. In
twelve hours after they reach field OF
grain every vestige of vegetation will be
gone, and the earth as bare as stub
BILE field. They confne their present
ravages to grain; but their eggs, which
are being deposited by the million, give
promise that the prairie grass will be
devoured next year. When it is consid-
cred that $40 of these eggs have been
found in square inch of soil, and 1,340
in space six inches square, the pros
pect is rather discouraging in that sec.
ton for farmers, many of whom are
now raising their first crop, and need
ing every possible resource to improve
their new farms and furnish food for
their families.
The raid appears to be more extern
sive than q few years ago, when the
State, to relieve the sufferers, appropri-
ated 100000. While in all other parts
of the State this year insects nearly de-
stroyed the wheat and barley, and the
corn was but an average, in these north
western counties there was prospect of
an unprecedented crop of all cereals, and
especially corn, but it is dubious now,
while that OF the time to come. when
the eggs already deposited shall become
developed, is worse yet.

Bounty for Grasshopprrs.

Gov. Pillsbnry, OF Minnesota, has in.
formed some interested inquirers that il
is his intention to recommend to the
Legislature of that State at it's next
session the appropriation of fund to
be used as bounty for the destruction
of grasshoppers in their embryo state.
He writes: =" The serious problem in-
volved in this subject has OF late ocou-
pied much Of my attention, and share
with you and all good citizens the APP
prehension to which the repeated and
prolonged devastation of the grasshop-
pers gives rise. believe the time has
arrived when an organized and deter
mined effort for their determination by
the combined action of tho State,
county and township authorities is not
only justified hut demanded by due
regard to the public welfare; and it is
my intention to earnestly commend the
subject in my next annual message to
the prompt and thorough consideration
Of the Legislature, aud invoke from
that body such action as in their judg-
ment will best contribute to the end de-
sired. The latest reports, it is true, Gu
courage the hope that the pests are
about taking their departure for the
present season, but the experience OF
the past forbids the conviction that they
will not hereafter reappear in equal
numbers. In view of the magnitude of
the interests involved, l have invited to

Seryia's Gibraltar.

The headquarters of the Servian army
is thus described Nisch, the Nissa of
the Romans, was once splendid city,
and was the birthplace of the Emperor
Constantine the Great, who adorned it
with magnificent palaces and other
public works. It was still further en-
bellished by the Emperor Trajan, who
built the famous bridge over the Danube
near the "Iron Gates" Not one stone
of all these splendid constructions re-
mains to tell the story of the magnii-
cence of the Roman empire in this now
half wild country. The bridges site
was even disputed point until nine
years ago, when an extraordinary low
stage of water in the Danube revealed
the foundations of the piers that once
supported the massive arches of that
splendid structure. The majority of
persons in America have not stopped
to recall the fact that these semi barbar-
GUS provinces of European Turkey
once formed q principal part of the
gigantic and highly cultivated empires
of Greece and Rome. Nisch, or Nissa,
was populous and splendid city when
London was wilderness. To-day it is
a wrctched Turkish town, possessing no
features of interest, intellectually speak
ing, with rambling old fortress which
owes its origin to the early days of the
Roman empire. AS the spectator re-
calls all these changes of time, he can
almost imagine grim smileof contempt
from the gnomes of these old mountains
as they lock down upon the throngs of
men who to day are engaged in the same
drama which these old warriors of the
frontier have SO often witnessed in the
past. Who knows but the present strig-
gle may end in the formation of strong
Sclavonic empire that shall once more
restore this land to the cultivation and
power it enjoyed 1900 years ago.

The Right Time to Get Married.

One Of the things which young people
seem to be tho most anxious to Know, is
"the right time to get married." as
some of them put it.
The great majority of young people
are poor. and get comparatively small
wages. They naturally suppose that il
they get married it will cost more to live
than it costs them while they are single.
So the question with them is: Shall we
marry while we are young and poor, or
wait till we get older aud better off 2
And that is the real question in their
minds when they inquire us to "the
right time to get married."
Thc re can be no rule laid down on
this subject which will fit all cases.
Some people are naturally SO Indus
trious and thrifty that they will get
along under almost any circumstances.
Others are so lazy and shiftless that
they cannot get along under any circnm-
stances. The right time for the first
class to get married is whenever they
choose to do so, while the right time for
the other class to get married seldom
comes at all.
A young couple who truly love each
other, and are willing to work hard and
live economically, and patiently build
up their fortune little by little, may
safely send for the clergy man as soon as
it may be convenient. But young peo-
pie who are lazy and extravaganza, and
care more for show than for solid well
fare, should wait till they acquire cor
rect notions of life and thrifty habits be-
foro marrying.

A Walking Dry Goods Store.

A lady correspondent writing from
Paris SAYS They have q new way O.
wearing their wells. They tie them OF
tho back OF the hat with large orpa
mcnt, the shape of shell, then tie then
around tho neck and fasten them on the
left side. The effect is odd and conspic
uous. 1t originated at the races, where
one OF the fair but frail sisterhood eel
the example. 1t requires a great guam.
tity of tulle to carry out the effect of this
eccentric yet contagious mode. =
Imagine a single undergarment of lady
costing $40 for plain silk and $50 for
embroidery, and even with this costly
necessity modest woman would scarce,
f'c6drd scarcely believe there were wives
who INDUCED in such Injuries, but my
doubts were soon turned into strong
convictions. was at the house Of the
Countess M, charming Ia ~ of wealth
and position, who in a friendly way nd.
mitted me to the privacy of her dress
ing-room. When she completed her
bath the first thing she put on was M
Oriental bath wrapper which cost 800.
I expressed so much curiosity Mt her ex-
travagance that she said : Swat and
see how much I'm worth when dressed"
and, az matter of course, [ took
note of her personal adornment as she
dressed, and give it as mere epitome OF
how much money may be spent in lux
uries. Her chemise was pale blue silk,
richly embroidered in white silk, all
hand work and
