American Grasshoppers

THE number Of astonishing and often absurd
L blunders perpetrated by translators is
without limit The first man to translate
Cooper's novel, The Spy" into French made
numerous errors, among which are these.
When the translator came to the word
"Locusts' which was the name of the Whar-
tons residence in the story, he turned to his
dictionary and found the rendering of the
word to be Les Sdnteyelles." the grasshop-
pers." He was a trife puzzled later when he
came to the passage in which dragon was
represented as tying his horse to one of the
locusts on the lawn.
He had never been in America; but taking it
for granted that the grasshoppers of that coun-
try must be of tremendous size he solemnly
informed his readers that the trooper fastened
his horse by the bride to grasshopper which
was standing near the door of the house.

 Owing to the fine weather that has prevailed throughout this section of the State during all of the present month. farmers have already commenced their spring work. Oats are being sowed. and corn and cotton land plowed and gardens planted. The season thus far is several weeks in advance of prevt- ous years. II is usually the middle of March here before oats are sown and early gardens planted. Tbe maple trees are in bloom and the peach buds are greatly swollen. There is much danger of the peaches being killed by late freeze.
 Duck shooting at tho lakes across the river near this city is better than it has been for years, and as a result, the sportsmen are killing many mal- lards Quail shooting in this vicinity Is also better than for yearS
