A farmers experience tor three years
among hoppers does not agree with the
, commissioners as reported. That the
female hoPpers bore themselves into the
ground backward leaving their latter
half in their 5olfmade graves, while their
heads and wings blow away, and that
the males lie dormant until spring."
It is q pity thatany one that Gao draw
so abundantly on their Imagination
could not be induced 70 try on the same
experiment and bury their intellectual
half and let their heads and coat tails
blow away.
The male does not lie dormant, On
the contrary he travels with his female
hopper who lays a nest full, (about forty
eggs, } several times during the season,
and he is very gallant and repeats his
gallant conduct IRON the first of July to
the last of September If cold weather
does not lay them both out for good at az
earlier date.
We have any amount of encourage
ment that u red parasite, a bug. a worm,
lies, birds, aud a thousand and one oth~
er things, are eating both hoppers and
eggs, and that now the eggs are hatch-
in out. The public prints TEEN with
such gasconade. We We're told tie
same thing two years ago and now
comes a rehash of the same again. but
there is nota farmer who thinks for him
self, that believes that those animals and
influences will perceptihly reduce
their number. There are ten eggs

years ago. and then there was enough

Ex-Governor Amss told his story about
the Vicksburg riot in December. 1874.
The testimony shows that the real and
deliberate author of the Vicksburg riot
was Governor Ames himself; that his
order to Crosby TO summon negroes was
given in the face of the advice of his
Attorney General; that there was a reme-
dy in the courts, and with his own words
he shows the deliberate intention OF
causing bloodshei and killing negroes in
order to advance partisan interests.
