The grasshoppers have so far de-
stroyed the feed in some pastures near
St. Adams, Vermont, that the farmers

Richafd Grant White doesn't be-
lieve in the study of grammar. He
says: 81 believe that the effect of the
study of English grammar, SO called,
is to cramp the free action of the
mind, to bewilder and where it does
not enfeeble and formalize, to pervert
the perception of the true excellence
of English speech, and in brief, to
substitute the sham of dead form
for the reality of the living shirt y

The Kansas City journal makes a
mistake W hen it states that the Leav-
enworth Times was founded by the
Vaughans. Hon. Robert Crozier es-
ablished the Times, the first number
of which was issued on the 23d day OF
March. 1857. We know this is a small
matter to raise fuss about, but then
we might as well be correct in these
little items of State history.

CAPTAIN King.

The Commonwealth insists that a
movement is on foot 10 have Captain
Henry King, postmaster at Topeka,
removed, and that it is the work of
politicians, for political reasons en-
tirely. 1t seems to us that the remov-
al of Captain King would not be a
healthy Job for Kansas politician. If
any representatives of this State, SEN
ators or Members of Congress, are en-
gagged in it, we think they had better
stop little, and make an estimate Of
its effect on public sentiment in the
State. If they do this, we think they
will come to the conclusion that the
business won't pay one-half per cent.
