GRASSHOPPERS.
''If your State did not have the reputation of
being 'urasfhoppered' every year, I would have
had to pay twenty dollars an aore instead of tit,
and the grasshoppers have done me solid ben
elll." ' '
We heard these exact words from the Hps of a
farmer from McLean County, Illinois, the other
day; a man of eiperlence and observation who
hasJiiHt purchased half a section of land in Flit
more County, on the Hue of the Burlington &
Missouri River Railroad Company,
There Is a great deal of truth bottled up in this
confession. Men from Illinois and other States
who come to A'ebraaka and, examine for them
selves, go away .convinced of the fact, tbat tho
Grasshopper Is by no means as destructive as the
Chlncu Bug, they see that the stories they bave
heard are either wholly false or greatly exagger
ated, and they realise that in the young State of
Nebraska men can raise bigger crops, and make
more money than they can further east notwith
standing that we do have an occasional Grass
hopper to worry us. . ) v i ' ,
The Grasshopper trouble of the past two yeats
have done u no damage of any consoquenoe,
and everything goes to prove the truth of what
Professor Riley says, which la, that Grasshoppers
will only trouble Nebraska onoe or twice In a
long series of years, and thnt year by year the
ohauces of our being troubled will grow less.

have known better than to bave called on her
with any serious Intentions on all Hallow ran,
but he did so regardlessly. It was In the third
ward, and they bad been seated on the parlor sofa
very comfortably close for about fifteen minutes
his youthful bosom heaved with the emotions of
undying sortnesi, which threatened to smother
htm to death if he didn't, soon open his mouth
and give vent to full expression. Presently he
moved closer, a sudden accident put his arm out
of place, but It didn't hurt Her drooping eyas
were gazing listlessly at figures on the Brussled
floor, and In each curve she saw a cheerful cot

he wan'ed to say, and as she believed he had at
least 11200. a yuar. she longed for hi in to cough It
out, and soon he began, his nervousness soon
wore off and presently be made a spurt and said
"Dearest Cordelia, I have long"
Cr r-r-r-r-aok I came something against the
window, and Cordelia screamed "burglars," but
he soon quieted her fears with the Information
that It was Hallow e'en, and the boys were only
having a little fun with corn. She was glad to
be quieted, and in a moment George resumed :

toward the door, simply snytng "hanged If I don't
break np that gang ;" and he opened the front
door ostensibly to dem illsh the gang, when a big
cabbage st ick struck him in the mouth aud the
muddy root spread lis branches all ovtr
his shirt lrunt ; tho boys ran away but he couldn't
follow Just then, and after a few hssty ejacula
tions which gave the surprised Cordelia an in
sight Into a new trait of his character, he rushed
back Into the house, seized his hat and cane, and
with as much dlgn ty and coldness as he eould
command, remarked:
I think I recognized youf brother as the boy
that threw the cabbate; and moreover, Iflsa Cor
delia, I find the objections In your family entirely
too strong for me to overcome, so permit me to
bid you good night and good bye."
iie backed o t as stiffly and coldly as an icicle.
and as he reached the door he heard Cordelia's
gentle voice sighing :

But Geawge had gone, vanished into the dark

Have We a Police.-Canton people have been
of the opinion that we had a police to keep tbe
peace in the city, to prevent law-breaking,: pre
serve order, Sic,, &a. From the council proceed
ings we see they are very punctual In drawing
their pay from the city. Under these circum
stances the city have a right to their services ;
but it seems one or more has been doing duty
for and dancing attendance on Esquire Hhopp's
court at Louisville. Are our police ready lo do
duty any where in" the county? If eo, what
cla'ms have they on the city of Canton T Would
It not be well for our city council to take this
matter Into consideration ? It may be well to as
certain whethei members of our police force are
serving the city, or the city merely rued to ac
commodate them. It might be well to under
stand some of these points. If Canton need no
police, or if we have a larger force than necessa
ry, let the council act accordingly. . 1
