LIBERALIZATION OF GrasshOppers.

A gent lcman by the name of Ira Tlnk
ham, writing from Greenwood, Cass
County, Ncb., to the Omaha Bee, gives
a novel plan for the destruction of grass
hoppers, that will be of interest TO our
readers in those sections that have the
misfortune 10 be afflicted with them.

Having seen several modes suggested
for destroying the grasshoppers next
season while they are growing, have
concluded 10 make public plan of my
own for doing this business. | have

Ro,ganfIc Mechanic.

Forty years ago there lived in Provi-
dence, within stones throw from
where Grace Church now stands, q
young man Of great intelligence and
wonderful mechanical ability, who
spent little fortune in the vain attempt
at making perfect representation OF
! Russia iron, and after as many failures
a5 attempts in this undertaking he be-
came utterly ruined, financially. His
ambition for the secret increased as his
fortune grew smaller, and when absolute
want stared him in the face be became
possessed with deter animation to accept
Of the only means of obtaining one OF
the greatest secrets in mechanical art,
and TO gain this he must suffer penal
servilude in the dungeons OF Russia.
The rulers of Russia are the only pos
SCISSORS Of the art of making what Is
known 10 glazed Russia iron, used ex-
tensively for all kinds ofstoye and stove
pipe work, and which has for nearly a
century been made within the walls OF
Russia's underground prisons. None
cnt lite convics are allowed 10 be initat
ed into the secrets of the Manufacture OF
the principal means of income 10 the
Russian government, and when once
within its walls no one need ever hope
.or pardon, for none have ever been
granted, while but one has ever been
known to escape, and when once the
door has been shut TO tho outside world
1t Is never known what has been the
fate of the unfortunate. This, then,
was the Providence mans last resort
for gaining possession of the secret
which had become his only ambition.
Ho left his home for Europe and the
simple rumor of the attempted assas-
sination Of the Gar by American,
and supposed to be insane, was all that
was ever known to the friends of what
became of the ambitious mechanic, and
as nearly half century has rallied on
since he set out on his perilous under
taking hardly q citizen will remember
the circumstances which is here record |
ed. There is one person, however, in
Providence who remembers well the
day The hero of our sketch babe her q |
farewell, promising that before
she reached her twentieth birthday he
would return and fulfill his promise.
All through these long years she has
never forgotten her promise TO wait for
her lover, nor cease to believe that he
would come for her. She now lives
within a moments walk Of the chimes
OF Grace Church, and is still well pre-
served, and her grace and beauty make
her far more attractive than many whose
years are the same as were hers when
her lover separated from her so long
ago. Last week she received tho glad
Iidings from far away over the water
that he who had so long kept her pa
liently waiting was on his way to fulfil
his promise of forty years ago, and let
us hope he may bring the secret he
paid for so dearly, and that he may
i've to sec some reward for his great
sacrifice.
