The KANSAS GRAssuoPPER.-It is
reported that the citizens of Helena, Ark e.,
were recently aroused early in the morning
by what seemed to be heavy rainstorm,
but they found the sky perfectly clear, and
the air full of dark fakes which afterward
proved to be cloud Of grasshoppers. They
p,ttered against the roofs and windows
Of the houses with so much force and in
such large numbers that they simulated
rain. People who had seen the dreaded
pests before, when they deconded upon the
grain fields of Xmas and consumed every
blade in few hours, say the numbers ex-
cecded even that visitation. They were
passing westward. Many Of them were
disabled by hitting against buildings and
other distractions, as they few very l'w,

TREASURE FOUND NEAR PENDLEToN.
"A week or two ago colorcd man while
riding horse to water on the old Nave
rick place near Pendletop, Anderson coun>
ty, found coin on the bank of IA creek
where the stump Of a hickory tree had
been undermined by the carins of the
earth. lIo supposed it to be biz copper
cent and readily sold it to Mr. GillSepie,
his employer, for a doll.r. 1t was really
twenty dollar gold piece. Mr.. Gillespie
subsequently, dug under tho stump with
hoe and found seven other double eagles
making the find altogether Sl6O. Some
Of the coins were dated 1862 which pro-
hibits the iuea that they were buried dur
ing tho war, aud destroys another theory
that they had been buried by old Mr..
Maverick, who is said by neishborhood
tradition to have lost a large quantity of
gold in some mysterious way long before
the war. The generally accepted theory
is that the money was buried under the
hickory tree while it stood, some years ago,
by Mr.. Gillespie's father, who is said to
have concealed money on several occasions
and forgot what he had done with it.

land folks of distinction have very recently
been celebrating some Of their Puritan ira
ditions, with deal Of wit aud eloqueuce not
10 say self-satisfactiop. Among the most bril-
liant speakers were Rev. Henry Ward
Beacher, at New York, and Ex-Governor
John D. Long, of Boston.
Much as tho South's ultra partisan voice
may condemn Mr.. Beecher, We take it that
the conservative majority will not fail to ap-
preciate his splendid compliment. IIc
made the point that all 'Purtaus' did not
come from New England and did not cxclu-
sively reside there; the type was in Georgia
and South Carolina, as we'll as il Massachu-
setts and Rhode Island; and dis definition of
Puritan was the man who did what ho
considered to be right, in scoru of conse-
quence. Of the Southern men who adher-
cd to their cause in 1S60-65 he said I
have no doubt there were multitude of
men there who thou sht they were uphold
ing the cause Of liberty aud they gave
themselves to upholding that cause as
almost think no other people did on the
face Of the earth. When I see what the
South dared and s:rove to do, aud every
thing passing away from them their. sons
slaughtered, entire families of wealth grows
ing poor, everything that could make their
land attractive disappearing, yet struggled
to the last-I say that there was heroism
there that, whom party lines are effaced and
party feeling have gone down, the historian
will delight to celebrate. [Applause.] In
the presence of my fellow citizens of the
North I wish to pay this tribute to fellow
contrymen of the South. I, that was
an abolitionist |, that fought slavery as
old Putnam fought the wolf IN the folG l,
that urged on the war, and relaxed no whit
until victory was assured /, that stood at
the recons,ruction Of this land-now, after
twenty years, desire to go on record rs
say ing that sine, the human race has ex-
istcd on cSrth there is not spectacle of
great, proud people spread over some
twelve or fifteen States that, after a war,
accepted submission, accepted this con-
dition--not without some remnants pas

presents spectacle that tho historian has

Personally, in conversation with Gov.
Long, as he journcyed to the Boston

lips that people of the North were rapidly
turning to the white people Of the South as
the great conservative element of the
country in an impending conaic; between
| order aud communism, not to say a serious
combat between faith and rationalsm. This
is significant. 1t means that as all kinds
Of social combinations grow formidable at
the North and will inevitably seek alliance
with the cclored politicians at the South,

three or four years, by death. At that
time Mr.. Watson was living in Baltimore,
teacher in the Bryant-Sadler Commercial

and in his absence only temporary burial
was given the body, awaiting hi. return

grave, and i natural desire to look upon
the face of the child which died and was
buried in tho fathers absence, prompted
MIR. Watson to ask Mr.. Jcffrevs to remove
the liz covering the glass panel over the
face. The lid was unscrewcd and removed,

FODDER-CORN.


The Best Method of Growing This Profit
able FOod-Crop.
1t has become a common practice
among our farmers to grow fodder
corn with which to exc out their past
ures when the dry weather strikes them
in summer. The term ''fodder-corn"
is used, by common consent, to desig-
nate corn grown specially for fodder,
either for soiling or for curing for win
ter feed. Corn fodder is the name
given to corn-stalks after the corn has
been husked. 1t is term better I'M
derstood in the East than in the West,
since in the West, as rule,
little account is taken of the corn-stalks
in field of corn. They are much Oft
ener left standing in the field, after the
corn is harvested, than saved for cattle
food. When the corn is gathered, the
cattle are given the run of the field,
and crop such portions of the stalks as
their tastes or necessities dictate. But
the growing of fodder-corn is yearly
becoming more popular in the West,
as we'll as in the East, and. with the
ensilage boom, is likely to come into
general practice.
We, wish to say few words about
the best method of growing fodder
corn. The custom used to be to SOW it
very thick, so as to make the stalks
grow slender under the impression that
they would be better relished by the
stock than the coarse stalks of the full
grown corn. Many still continue to sow
fodder-corn in this way; but it is a great
mistake. When so thickly grown it is
but little else than crude fibre and
water, containinga very small percent
age of nutriment. For soiling. for
curing, or for ensilaging, it is better to
grow fodder-corn not more than twice
as thickly as we grow field corn.
Planted in drills, dropping the kernels
four to six inches apart, with the rows
three and Il half or four feet apart, or
planted in hills eighteen inches apart,
with three to four kernels in the hill,
the rows us far apart as we have Just
indicated, will give much better results
than planting more closely We must
let in the air and sunshine, in order
to develop the gums, starches
and sugar, which give the stalks their
nutritive value. Cultivating and STIR
ring the soil help fodder-corn just as
much as they do field crops. For early
feeding it is best to plant early. so as
to give the corn n chance to reach full
maturity before being cut and fed, or
otherwise disposed Of Do not allow
the corn to harden or the stalks to
ripen, but to reach the green-corn stage
of the ear. This is the time when it IL
in its best condition and the most val
liable for food.-NatiOBGl Lige Stosk

Black tulle tabliers embroidered with
colored beads appear.
Beaded gloves are a novelty which
are promised us for street wear.
Triangular jets are very stylish for
trimming all sorts of head-gear.
White chenille embroidery and Roman
pearls are the trimmings of bridal
gowns.
Chenille and beads are worked in
effectively together on the new flounc-

If the hair is worn high bonnet
must be small to form the apex to the
monument.
Silk skirts of every hue, fascinating
with their different trimmings of lace,
are shown to cover the maillots.
Beaded silk stockings are pretty
enough, but woe betide the wearer if
any one should accidentally step on her
foot.
A bright ribbon, a gauze scarf or
trimming with lace, transforms last
years costume into new one to all
intents and purposes.
Single fiat and raised designs in silk
pas sementerie are very effective in trim
ming the fiat panels tabliers now so
much used.
Silk cashmere comes in many of the
pretty new shades. Stripes or spots in
chenille appear on almost all of the
novelty dress goods,
The claque or opera hat will be worn
during the spring. Little trimming ex-
cept band and bow on the side can
be worn on these hats.
Black grenadines with beaded designs
woven into them are to be among the
most elegant of the new fabrics and for
summer wear the beading, when woven
in, has the great advantage of being
durable,
In Paris it is quite the thing to trim
wool and cloth dresses with these bead
ed garnitures: but as yet we have not
used them for such purposes. The
coming season will, however, see hand
some worsted materials trimmed with
fancy beads in all colors.
A pretty variation of the wearing of
ribbon about the neck is to run a ribbon
a quarter of an inch wide, or even mar
rover, around the throat and passing
the ends out through two horizontal
button-holes in high linen collar, and
tying them in a diminutive bow at the
front of the neck.-N Y. Mail and En-
