,SECRETARY ROGERS.
geance.

The Chicago Times pays the follow
ing handsome tribute to our old friend
w. K. Rogers, now private secretary
to the president:
gave an entertainment in Washington
in which she personated the gentle
Juliet. Rogers attended and was
delighted. This was another of the
things upon which a Private Secretary
might speak in his own name. SO he
repaired to his boudoir in the White
House and with dainty pen upon
perfumed official paper indicted this
tribute to female genius:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, .WAsH1SGToN,
Thursday Morning, May II, 1877.
Will Miss Boyle accept this basket OF
flowers from friend to whom she gave a
long to- be- remembered pleasure last evening?
You will say they are beautiful. Allow me
to say trust hey will be regarded as in some
degree fitting tribute then to the beautiful
coincidence of childhood and OF genius W hich
brought before us by it's spell the child-sweet
heart of Shakespeares dream, Juliet-such
is the mystery OF genius-more real than she
who lived and loved beneath Italian skies in
the home OF that ancient Capulet-the Juliet
of the human heart.
Very truly your friend, w. X. Rogers
Beautiful flowers Beautiful coin
cidence F! Beautiful Boyle !! Beautiful
Rogers! We enter fully into the
spirit of the occasion. Who will say
that the thorny pathway Of official life
has not it's verdant spots when a Prl-
vate Secretary, upon who the cares OF
a nation and a reading room rest, can
find time to daily thus with Melpomene
and Aphrodite! Far be it from us to
discourage such pastimes; cultivated
tastes must be indulged, and better
Rogers taste for newspapers and the
drama than Babcock' s taste for whisky
and paving stones. Rather would we
foster these aspirations toward the
true, the beautiful and the good
But as friend of Rogers and of the
President we feel called upon to warn
the nimble scribe that there are sacri
l6ces that Private Secretary must

CONCLUSIONS AS TO THE
GRdSSHOPPER.

Having spent some time recently in
Stevens county during a raid of that
most horrible insect, the grasshopper,
we have reached several conclusions
herewith embOdy:
/. A grasshopper visitation is a
good deal like war. A terror seizes
upon the people and they become the
victims of all manner of exaggera-
tions; and the farther you go from the
scene of action the more extravagant
are the reports that reach you.
III. We have further learned that
grasshoppers are only destructive

THE TRUE REMEDY.

General O'Neill, the ex-Fenion
leader, is doing a good work by
inducing his countrymen to leave the
densely packed, sin-afflicted cities OF
the east and make themselves homes
on the broad prairies of the great
west. We quote the following
interesting account of his Nebraska
