The Kansas GrasshOpper Region
Shows Her Gratitude.


Concerning the munifcent donation
from the grasshopper region of Kansas,
sufferers by the Ohio river floods, which
was received recently in Cincinnati and
distributed from that point. we take the
following account of the decorations, &C.,
from the Wichita, Sedgwich County,
Kansas, Eagle. The Eagle had its ac-
count headed by large cut representing
an Indian astride of large hopper, and
the following expressive head lines
"Grasshopper Redivus- The Land of
Canaan Pays the Land of Egypt Back
Her Borrowed i-Nunificent Offer
ing of Generous People.-The Full
Handed Farmers and Prosperous Busi-
ness Men of the Great Valley County
Send to the Ohio River Sufferers Sub
stantial Sympathy" The cartoons, pic
lures and notices accompanying the
train were sold On Change in Cincinnati
for big prices for the benefit of the flood
sufferers. The following from the Eagle
tells the whole story:
Ten years ago, when the earlier settlers
of this county were struggling il their
poverty to subdue into profitable culti-
walton the wild soil of this great valley,
and the business men, mechanics and
other residents of this city were, with
their means and credit, eDdeavoring
with all their powers to give name and
stability to what was a mere border
town of unknown possibilities, there
came down all of a sudden and all unex-
peeted, from the unexplored mountain
regions of the Northwest, dense clouds
of grasshoppers which covered the whole
land and which devoured every living
green thing from the growing fields.
While the older portions of the State
were able to take care of themselves,
they were utterly unable to help the
newer settlements. The writer of this
together with five OF six other gentle
men met in Topeka and issued call,
which was sent to the older States ask
ing for aid. How nobly, heartily and
promptly the great western States re-
sponded to that will never be forgotten
by the people of this city and county.
Ever since that black year heaven has
smiled upon our people, upon their
homes, their fields and their fiocks until
now, for three or four years past, no
more prosperous or happy people can be
found any where. When, therefore, or
weeks since, few gentlemen of this
city cited. in set of resolutions, the
fact of the disastrous food of the Ohio
valley and the suffering which must in
evitably follow, calling upon the people
of Sedgwick county for a helping hand,
the response was as prompt as it was
open-hearted and liberal. One gentle
man was named for each township in
the eouRty who was to solicit and re-
port at meeting of all the gentlemen
named to be held the following week.
The first meeting developed the fact
that the 20 townships of the county
would contribute at least one car load
of corn each. A transportation COM
mittee was then appointed. whose ap-
peal was answered by the managers
of the Satna Fe railroad to the effect
that so generous an effort would be j
met by them in the same spirit, and that
they would not only agree for them
selves and eastern connections to see

ANNABKL LEE.

1t was many and many a year ago,
In kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may
know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no Other
thought
Than to love and be loved by me-
Twas child and she was child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with love that was more
than leve.
and my Annabel Lee;
With love that the winged seraphs OF
heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out Of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea-
The angels. not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me;
cbl-tldt was tuO IcdoOH IDS oil AnCA
know
In this kingdom by the sea-
That the wind came out Of the cloud by
night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee
But our love it was stronger by far than
the love
OF those who were older than we
OF many far wiser than we;
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
For the moon never beams, without
bringing me dreams
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee:
And the stars never rise but feel the
bright eyes
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, lie down by
the side
OF my darling-my darling-my life and
my bride
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

POETRY.
THE CLOUD ON THE BROW.

The sky may be clear
And the landscape look bright,
And full of good cheer
In the suns golden light.
When over the scene comes an omlnous
The prospect serene in deep darkness to
shrOud.
A cloud on the face
Of friend that we love
Will hide every trace
Of the sunshine above,
Fill the heart with its gloom and the at
mOsphere chill,
Like a shadow of doom, the foreboding
of i'll.
The infant will smile
In the fond nurses arms,
Who strives to beguile
And to sOothe its alarms;
But soon i'll at ease its distress viii avow
Whenever it sees there's cloud on her
brow.
All. many will roam,
Seeking places more fair,
When the gardens at home
Need their culture and care;
And many bright flowers brief race have
run
Because of long hours kept out of the sun.
Let the sunshine come in
1t viii do us all good;
Its way let it win
Where the shadows now brood.
And once in the heart, it will manage
somehow
To dispel with wierd art the cloud from
the brow. Josephine Pollard.

diseases of the scalp and the first successful re-
storer of faded or gray hair TO its natural color,
growth, and youthful beauty. 1t has had many
imitators, but none have so fully met all the re-
quirenents needful for the proper treatment OF
the hair and scalp. HALLS HAIR REVIEWER has
steadily grown in favor, and spread its fame and
usefulness TO every quarter of the globe. Its un-
paralleled success can be attributed to but one
-suse: the entire Ju!fluaent Of its promises.
ahe proprietors have often been surprised at the
receipt of orders from remote countries, where
they had never made effort for its introduction
The use for a short time of HALLS HAIR
REVIEWER wonderfully improves the personal
appearance. 1t cleanses the scalp from all i'm
purities, cures all humors, fever, and dryness,
and thus prevents badness. 1t stimulates the
weakened glands and enables them to push for
ward new and vigorous growth. The effects of
this article are not transient, like those of alco-
holic preparations, but remain q long time, which
makes its use matter of economy.
