Just at this time the msiss of the people are more interested in the grasshopper question than smo other, and as this place seems to be the seat of war, it may not be out of place to say a few words-in regsird to that subject. It would have appeared strsingo in deed ten or fifteen years since, to ad vance (he idea thai, such little crea tures as grasshoppers would com mand the attention of whole States, ami cause such great destruction to produce, ami cause such destitution and suffering as there has been dur ing the psist year in Nebraska, Kan- caught lire and she v.-as horribly' burned and died of "Her injuries. We don't know much about" farming, but it seems that if the farmers would save their dry fields of grass until the young hoppers were all hsitchcd, and then set lira to it. many would be destroyed; and if every farmer would do thisv possibly it might be better" than no remedy. But svj our letter is already grow--ing to a greater length than was ex--pet-ted, we shall close for this time;, and as we e::pect to visit Xebrsiska City and probalvy other points, you need not be at' all surprised lo hear from us before long. rit h best wish es for your success with the Uevub-j-ICAX, I remain as ever, Geo.
