The Presidents Southern Policy

The sentiment of the country, espe-
cially the sentiment controlled by the
commercial and business interests OF
the country, undoubtedly sustain the
course which the President has pur-
sued on the southern question. In
speaking of this the Albany Journal
says:
1t believes not only that the expert
ment of free unrestricted local rule
must be tried as matter of necessity,
but that it ought to be tried as "a mat
ter of expediency. Its tone is one of
approval mixed with solicitude-ap-
prevail of the spirit of the policy, So
licitude as TO whether the southern
temper will fully respond to it. If
there are any misgiviDgs they relate
not TO the wisdom of the Presidents
determination, bat to the difficulties
which attend any course in the south.
Some earnest Republicans hesitate at
what they fear is a surrender of the
faithful men of that section TO their
opponents. They feel disposed to re-
serve judgment for the result. AT the
same time they are weary of strife and
sincerely deslrous of true pacification.
And after all their doubts they come
back TO the conclusion that the Presi-
dent has struck the right course We
cannot be worse off with the expert
ment and may be much better of.

The Destiny Of Canada.

A paper by Mr.. Goodwin Smith in
the Fortnightly for April, on "The
Political Destiny of Canada" will be
certain to stir up discussion among
our neighbors over the border. 1t is
most temperate and patiently rea-
soning paper, but it will anger that
class OF Canadians-certainly the moi
siest, if no the best class-who thrive
by politics. Mr.. Goodwin Smith says:
Canadian nationality being a lost
cause, the ultimate union of Canada
with the United States appears now
to be morally certain; so that nothing
is left for Canadian patriotism but TO
provide that it shall be a union indeed
and not all annexation; that an equal
and honorable alliance, like that of
Scotland with England, not submis-
sion of the weaker to the stronger;
and at the same time that the political
change shall involve no change of any
other kind in the relations of Canada
with her mother country.

Haggard Hcppers.

Weekly reports from counties in the
South Platte region of Nebraska point
definitely to three facts in reference to
grasshoppers.
First. The eggs laid in the fall are
the degenerate products of degenerate
scions. The hopper of last fall was a
weakly animal and did little damage,
as very large crop testifies, and the
eggs deposited rotted and disappeared
in most cases. The small number of
hoppers hatched out are found only in
isolated spots and are radidly disap-
pearing with the spring rains.
Second. The damage this spring
will be very triiling and not appre-
ciable.
Third. This region has reached the
end of the hopper troubles for long
series of years, at least. A strong
feeling of confidence and security is
pervading the minds of the farmers
and business hen everywhere. 1t was
laid last year in Nebraska, Kansas,
Dakota and Minnesota, and uncon-
genial soil and elements have destroyed
the seed and offspring.
When the grasshopper scare shall
have come to an end, this fact will
stand forth, that with the exception
of the raid in the fall of 1874 the farm
ers of Nebraska have had their crops
injured by grasshoppers only to a
trifling extent. The chief damage has
been done by the grasshopper scare
abroad, which prevented immigration
and created want of confidence and
dissatisfaction among the people here.
This is drawing to an end and the fu-
ture is looking bright.

That Machine.

VALLEY CENTRE, April 80, 1877.
EDITOR EAGLE:-I wish, for the
benefit of those who are troubled with
the little hoppers, to give, through
your paper, description of my plan
Of catching them, which has proved q
success. The machine was mentioned
in the Beacon last week and credited
to Mr. c. r. Miller, which was mis-
take, as | superintended the making
of that machine.
Now for the description: Take
three pieces of 2x6, five feet long, cut
them down to one and half inches
wide at one end and use them for run
ners. Nail any kind of lumber you
have, sixteen feet foug. on these run
ners, making platform skis feet, two
and half inches high at one side and
seven inches at the other. Put a stake
two and half feet high in each
corner and one in the middle runner
at the wide end. Now take nineteen
muslin, cut two pieces of five yards
each; sew up the seam, then take the
nine yard piece, sew that on one side
of the two pieces, starting two yards
from the end, leaving cloth enough to
turn and sew across each end of the
first two breadths, making muslin
box, minus one side; now hem the
long piece clear around the top, run a
fence wire through the hem, hand it
on the stakes in platform. nail or tack
the open side to the lower side Of the
platform, hitch horse to each lower
corner and drive against the wind.
When through the field reverse the
machine, slip the loops off the stakes
and shake the hoppers off into grass
or anything prepared for their de-
struction. The capacity of this is fif-
teen acres per day and a very clean
job.
Hoping that every one will do all he
can for the destruction of the little
pests, give this to the public.

More Married than She Thought.

The case which has so long hung in
the courts, in which that notorious old
shorter, Ann Eliza, sued Brigham
Young, was settled last Saturday by
Judge Rchafler. He adjudged that
the defendant and plaintiff were mar
ried April IS, 1868, de fGcto but not de
.jure that at the time of defendants
marriage plaintiff was competent 70
enter into a valid contract of marriage,
but the defendant was not, because he
had lawfal wife then living. The
parson, Sidney Bigdon, who perform
ed the marriage ceremony between the
defendant aud Mary Ann Angel, in
Kertland, Ohio, in 1888, had no license
authorizing him to perform such cere-
mony. None was needed to make the
marriage valid. The plaintiff and de-
PENDANT cohabited together as man and
wife for several years after their de
fdcto marriage, the defendant i'll
treated and neglected the plaintiff, but
such de facto marriage was not Undue
ed aud effected by undue influence and
coercion.
In CONCLUSION the plaintiff is not en-
titled TO decree of divorce that the
alleged marriage was and is polyga-
nous, and therefore null and void
that during plaintiffs life with de-
fendant as polygamous wife, she was
serving him as mental servant and
would be entitled TO a reasonable CON-
pensation for her services, but having
received, in this instance, the form of
alimouy pendent, little more than
such services are shown by the proof
to be reasonably worth. she should 60
hence without further compensation.

The Harper County Settlement.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I thought it would
not be out of place to inform you that
the pineer colony that advanced from
Iowa in March last, and in this month
made our appearance in Harper coun-
ty, Kansas, for the purpose of COM
mcncing settlement looking to the
founding of the county seat OF Harper
We made our surveys, starting, first,
two and a half miles northwest of
Kingman in Kingman county. We
run a line due south to the supposed
centre of Harper. We then run line
due west, commencing on the line di-
viding Sumner and Harper, till we
formed ajunction with the line we run
from the north. We found the center
of the county not practical for town
site, and we moved back northeast, on
section one, township thirty-two,
range seven, and located the town of
Cora City. When we first arrived
there were five teams and about seven
teen souls, part of our colony being
detained at Hutchinson on account OF
sickness, and otherwise. Soon after
our arrival, others began to come in,
till now, April %, 1877, there are some
twenty families numbering about
eighty persons in all, and still they
come. Cora City is located en- a beau
tiful prairie about fifty miles from
Wichita in southern direction. The
general lay of Harper county is good,
the land gently rolling, plenty of living
water and good soil. We find the
pure gypsum, the same as is ground in
the eastern States and applied to the
soil to help the growth of crops. We
have not explored sufficiently to know
all the prospects as to coal and stone,
but from what we have seen we believe
both are plenty. We are sure that
persons wishing to own good soil and
enjoy good water cannot de better
than to come to Harper county.
Cora City is located on the Wichita
and Medicine Lodge road, crossing the
Minnesota below the forks of same,
and at point where the Wellington
road forms a junction with the above
described road. NJ.

A Lstter From Alton.

EDITOR EAGLE: The EAGLE reaches
our office regularly the evening of the
day of its publication. Please accept
our thanks for your part of this well
regulated arrangement.
Since the copious showers of We'd
nesday afternoon and evening all ma
ture seems to be in perfect working
order. Some enterprising young
farmers have finished planting and
commenced turning over the sod.
Oats and barley look well. The spring
weather has been favorable for wheat,
causing it to stool beautifully, rem
dering the prospect better for boun-
tiful crop than that of last spring. In
this vicinity there are Miller's 800
acres; Henry Lawrence, so acres;
Loomis & Son, 140 acres; Southwick
& Son, 100 acres; w. Ii. Taylor, 100
acres; Lewis Il Son, 120 acres, aud
James Tierney, s. acres. Many other
fields are looking remarkably well,
ranging from twelve acres upward.
James Tierney sold the quarter last
week known as the Cherry claim for
500, reserving the crop. No build

No. 66 will commence April 3Oth. L.

ty meath the old mans roof.
have recently made inquiries of
farmers from different parts of the
township and learn of no damage be-
ing done by the hoppers. In conclu-
sion, Mr.. Editor, let me say you need
not hurry up that east and west rail-
road on our account, as we are to have

Rice's farm, in Greeley, to G. Wood |

Spiritualism.

E. V. Wilson, the champion of Spir-
itualism, will lecture in Eagle Hall,
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May II,
IL and Is, proximo, and will give pub
licly, test-readings of character, incl
dents in the life of persons present,
describe spirits, and other mental phe-
nomena through the laws of spirit
control. Mr.. Wilson is clear think err
and close reasoner, and gives such in
dubitable proofs of confined pro-
gressive life in the land of souls, the
happy and exalted condition of our
friends, parents and children, who
have been born in spirit life, that all
will be richly repaid for their expense
and time by the soul-cheering satisfac-
ton that there is no death. Thous-
ands Of spiritualists converse daily
with their dear bosom companions and
children who are in the Summer land,
and of how they lang upon their
words and eagerly inquire about their
homes, their companions, their occu-
pations, their schools, their recrea-
tions, their scenery, the naturalness
and actuality of the world they live
in. Here, then, is all opportunity pre-
scented to the citizens of Wichita
which they may not soon again have.
Remember that Spiritualists make no
effort to proselyte, they have no church
organization, no monied corporation,
the movement was originated, and is
still carried on by spirits. Their
speakers are all mediums, and when
the opportunity is presented is gaining
knowledge concerning the great here
after, let each one embrace it, or if he
chooses to be ignorant, ''let him be ig-
norant STILL" Is it not strange that
any one should prefer to tremble and
cover before an imaginary angry God,
and dread an almost omnipotent devil
and fabulous hell, when with little
expense aud time could actually know
the state and condition of
the so-called dead.
Arrangements can be made with Mr..
Wilson after the 18th of May to hold
private seances, at reasonable terms.
He can be found at Judge Fishers.
Those wishing his services should call
early.
Mr.. Wilson comes as an Independent
speaker and small fee will be taken
at the door. RICHMOND.

Will Stay in Washington.

During the summer the President
and his family win occupy the house
at the Soldiers Home. about three
miles from Washington, where Presi-
dent Lincoln spent his summers dur.
ing the war. The house has remained
empty since 1867, though it was fur
nshed last summer with the expecta-
ton that Grant would occupy it. 1t
will be put in complete order, so that
the President can move into it as soon
as hot weather begins. The location
of the "Home" is very pleasant, being
on the highlands overlooking the city
with beautiful shrubbery and flowers
around the modest house.

The President on Kellogg's Case.

The President is reported TO have
said that ifKellogg was legally entitled
to seat in the Senate at the time the
Senate committee on Privileges and
Elections reported that he was, he is
certainly entitled to the seat now, as
nothing had been done in Louisiana,
in his opinion, to inyalidate any ones
legal rights. Judge Spofford, who re-
ceived the votes of the Louisiana Leg
islature for Senator, OH Tuesday. is
the man who prepared the Democratic
case in Louisiana for presentation be-
fore the electoral commission. As
kellogg will, of course. contest his
claim, the question will come before
the Senate.
