The Coming transformer.


Republican, writing from Denver, Col,
gives not very assuring picture of the
coming grasshopper crop. He says:
Young grasshOppers are going to hatch
out this spring, by the ton, not only in
Colorado, but also in Kansas, Nebraska,
Minnesota, etc., for the eggs are here
waiting for warm days. They report in
Kansas that the young ones Matched in
the fall and afterwards died, which may
be true, but the eggs of these were laid
early, and there is no doubt but a good
supply is left of later broods. 1t is
tolerably cafe, in a grasshopper country,
to disbelieve every word that is said of
these insects as being in favor of the
farmer, for it will be sure to turn out
that evil prophecy will be true. The
experience of our veteran farmers is, that
when flying grasshoppers come in the
fall and stay more than twenty
four hours, they will lay eggs,
and that these eggs will hatch
in the spring as surely as the moon
about worms and other parasites eating
into the entrails of them, and that so the
plague will disappear.
Possibly, worms and birds, too, and
chickens and skunks and other things
destroy ten hundred thousand millions
of billions of grasshoppers, but what of
that, since nobody misses any? It's safe
to believe all you know about grasshop-
pers, not any more. The farmers are
now so used to these fellows they are
about as much concerned az if they had
the itch in the family. 1t is bad job,
surely, but it must be cured. Grasshop-
per machines are as common as mowers;
they run over the ground much in the
same way, and having in front burning
wood or coal, or tar or oil, the young
ones hop up, are burned to death; and
so, ten or twenty acres are
cleared in day. The great
dread was of the young ones,
but now it is of the flying ones, and what
can be done with them is the question.
They seldom come early enough to in
jure wheat or early planted corn, but
they are omnipotent in gardens and on
lawns, and they clean out women's plant
ings, such as flowers, garden herbs and
nice things, almost in the twinkling of
an eye. Their case is still on.
THE inventors of BURNETT's COCAINE
knowing that when the loss of hair occurs, it
is generally from that part of the head where
the greatest heat is necessarily generated,
and that animal fats by their nature induce
heat rather than alleviate it--turned their
attention and pharmaceutical science toward
vegetable oils, as the basis Of a medicament
to promote the growth aud preserve the
beauty of the hair. The oLeum cocos, or COCOA.
NUT OIL, presented itself most strongly, as
possessing many properties peculiarly adapt.
ed for the purpose; but its Cdor was objec-
tionable, and its density Except when ex-
posed to heat) seemed for long time to defy
all efforts to render it available, for popular
use, in cooler climates. BY ascientific selec.
ton of other ingredients. those which will
chemically combine with the oil have been
discovered, and they together have produced

In the form pres ented, this oil is perma.

which peculiarly adapts it for the toilet
BURNETT's COCAINE is unrivaled in del
icacy and agreeableness-cooiing in its ma
ture - and possesses such penetrating
affinity for the secretions Of the skin, that it
is rapidly absorbed.
Its greatest efficacy is best secured by a
perfect cleansing, before its application, OF
the hair and scalp, under which circum-
stances this oil aLdyS irritation, removes all
tendency to dandruf, and invigorates the &C.
ton of the capillaries in the highest degree.
Its effect upon the glossness and richness OF
the hair is such as cannot be surpassed; and
it is offered to the public in the firm belief
that it only requires to be known to super.
cede all other preparations. We are con.
fdent that no one who will make trial OF
It's efficacy will be willing to return to the
use Of any other preparation.

not Washington's body servant but body
servant of Washington's father, which is
a refreshing novelty.
