Still, it was thoroughly understood who was the author, and, of course, the play must be accepted. Mr. Dwight became very help ful. He seemed to have forgotten his usual bashfulness, and was even brave inough to suggest having a professional z» drill them. This seemed too extrava* jant, but when they remembered that if was to perfect the acting of the play their seloved minister had written, consent was {iven; and somehow Mr, Dwight showed io much kindly interest that he was given tharge of finding a suitable person, The first rehearsal was called. The professional looked through the play, page after page. “Ladies and gentlemen," said he, “this play is too long. Five acts is hard on professionals and for amateurs apt to be •Iresome. I think it must be cut down to three." “Not for the world!" cried a chorus of voices. “We will not have one word ihanged.” “Dwight," he said, taking him aside. “You know these people better than I do. Tell them what I say. This play is badly written and worse in its construction. From its looks I suppose it is written by ay some one here. If it is to be saved from ;otal failure, I must be allowed to cut it" Mr. Dwight's face was the picture of Usmay, “Perhaps a little cutting might help t," he admitted, “I might just mention t to them. You are sure,” he asked hesitatingly, “that it would be an im provement.” “Why, my dear sir! The whole thing s simply bosh! nothing but bosh! No professional would look at it!” “Oh,” said Mr. Dwight, greatly flus tered, the blood rushing into his neck and face. “If you think it necessary, and as you look at it from a professional riew, why of course we are not quite up to that, you know, I suppose I had better ipeak to them.” “Of course! make haste, for we lose time.” Mr. Dwight rose with a very red face, and his soft voice showed signs of agita tion. “Er—my friends—er my professional friend, thinks from a professional point of riew that our play is perhaps just a little too long and (looking with a pro fessional eye) he thinks it might be im proved by cutting in a few places. “Mr. Dwight,” said the leading lady, stiffly, “you will be kind enough to tell rour professional friend that we do not took at this play with a professional eye, but with a very friendly eye, as the work of our beloved minister. We will not allow one of his words to be cut. To your professional friend I have no doubt his lofty thoughts may seem prosy, but to his congregation, not only amusing, but improving.” Mr. Dwight was so dumfounded at hearing the whole credit of the writing of his play given to the minister, that he re mained speechless. He had thought the author would remain a mystery, that he would hear the flattering remarks and en- Sthem. Then, perhaps, wben the ole thing was over, was not sure—he would come blushing!y for ward and acknowledge himself as the modest author. But now it seemed he was not the author. “Is this true about the parson writing the play>” asked the professional. “I had not heard,” hesitated poor Mr. Dwight. “Oh, come now, of course you know. You ought to have told me this before; I’m in a regular fix.” “I give you my word I never thought he wrote it” “1 must get out of it the best way I can. Excuse my suggestion, ladies and gentle men, I was not aware of the authorship of the play. I can easily understand now why you do not wish a change. I have no doubt from the earnest desire ex pressed to do justice to the writer, aud the (slept fit oqj ws ibaU fichfcvs Defective Page s success. If you please we will com mence.” As is usual in such eases, one or two had some natural taste among others that were perfect sticks. Mr. Dwight was so flustered that he could not remember the very lines he had written. The play was long and tedious, difficult to remember and tiresome to the listener. The last act closed with a reception in s private drairing room. The professional suggested that it could be made very ef fective with elegant dressing, flowers, fur niture and decorations. He trusted this last scene might help to efface the past misery. The eventful night arrived. Many tick ets had been sold, as it had been well whispered about (in confidence) who was the author. Mr. Dwight had worked night and day, and was in such a fright ful state of nervousness, that he felt like riving it up altogether. The professional seemed to think that there was a long task before him, and had evidently forti fied himself to such an extent that he ap peared somewhat confused. His first mistake was to ring up the curtain with out warning, which gave a view of the figures flying in every direction. It was hastily dropped with a violent bang. The audience waited patiently for it to roll up again. A gentleman stepped out from the side, and said he hoped the audi jnce would have patience, as one of the jompany was late arriving. At last the play began and proceeded in ihe usual manner of amateur theatricals, jome parts good, others very bad. Loud prompting was heard from the sides hronghout. Mr. Dwight, who only had a very short sentence to deliver, in his inxlety made his entrance too soon, and, finding he was not wanted, looked about Helplessly until loud voices called him to :ome off. He attempted to return by the loor through which he had entered, but itruggled in vain to open it on the side ivhere the hinges were. Finding the door would not open, he slipped off at the side in such a state of fright, that when his dine did come, he hod to be pushed on, and could only mumble something that ao one heard. The play dragged on. The audience was tired and bored, but too polite to leave. At a quarter to twelve the last act ame, much to everyone’s relief. The inrtain rolled up, showing a beatifnlly set room, elegant furniture, and a profusion >f flowers wherever there was a place for them. The dialogue was just begun, when to everyone’s amazement an un sxpcctod figure was seen at the center ioor. The figure which attracted so much at tention was that of a footman dressed in on elegant livery of crimson plush. Im mense calves to his legs showed plainly they were not of natural growth. A white wig completed this costume. This was a character entirely new in the play; on closer inspection this elegant person was found to be the professional himself, who evidently thought to give the room more elegance and an appearance of ease by' adopting this character. He carried a tray covered with glasses. As he crossed the room with a dignified but unsteady itep they jingled violently. As soon as the actors could recover from their sur prise, they continued their parts, but were constantly annoyed by the offer of refreshments. As soon as he disappeared through one door be appeared at another, knocking over flowers in his unsteady meanderings. Finally, when the act ended at 12:30, he occupied the center of the stage, and bowed to the audience’as gracefully as his ihaky legs would allow, Financially the play was a success. In every other respect it was about as suc cessful a failure as ever was. One of the papers came out boldly and criticised the entertainment severely, say ing that the Rev. Mr. Morgan might be able to write an excellent sermon, but not a play. Also they were much astonished that he should introduce the character of on intemperate waiter, for, though it might cause laughter from some people, it was a sight that all right-minded people would discourage. The Rev. Mr. Morgan published a card expressing his astonishment that the authorship of the play should be credited to him, and denying it emphatically. Mr. Dwight was so crushed at the re* suit of his dramatic effort that he retired to his favorite back seat, where he still keeps very quiet, He is not writing plays as busily as he was; and to this day his tingle effort remains anonymous.—Olive Storm in Tid-Bits. MISCELLANEOUS. Thadden* Steven* and Bia Club Toot, Talking recently with a relative of Thaddeus Stevens, I learned of an act in his youth which resembled the stoical heriosm that was taught to ths youths of ancient Greece, He was born with a club foot, which was not only malformed but was twisted on one side. His brother, who afterward sat on the bench in Ver mont, was similarly disfigured in boii his feet. Thaddeus was lame and sickly up to his sixteenth or seventeenth year. His twisted foot was always a great eyesore ft him, and one day while the family was living in Peachain, Caledonia county, where he was born, his mother heard him groaning and talking to himself just out tide the door of the house. Going out she found that he had taken his clubfoot in his lap, and with his penknife had deliber ately severed the tendons and was forcing the foot straight, where he bound it with iplints on the side, tying them on with his handkerchief which he had torn into ihreds, saying meanwhile to himself: “I’ll flx you straight if I have to cut you clean off.” When his foot healed the limb had been somewhat straightened, but the club foot remained as a deformity up to his death.—N. Y. Tribune. Extensive Buslncu in Drying In Italy an extensive business is carried on in drying tomatoes. They are dried in preference to being canned. The tomatoes are allowed to lemain on the vines until they are quite ripe, when they are picked and pressed into bags made of coarse doth, which allows the pulp to press through while the seeds and skins are retained. The pulp is then spread out thinly on doth, boards or shallow dishes, and ex posed to the sun to dry. When it has be come quite dry it is broken up fine or ground and put into boxes or bags and sent to market. It is largely used in soups, but much of it is employed as wo do tomatoes preserved in tins or other cans. When used, it is soaked for a few hours in warm water, and then cooked in the ordinary manner, —Exchange, Running Aero** In Three Day*.

Bat the vessel could only carry passengers.—Exchange. Chancing the Ground. One way of flanking our insect foes is tc change our planting ground.

Ex-Sen. Charles H. Russell is vainly endeavoring to-day to stop the circulation of as pretty a little story as ever caused a general Eastern District to chuckle. Last night Mr. Russell was the principal orator at public school No. 18, South Second and Tenth-sts. where cles exercises were held. There was a large attendance, and the ex senator was so loudly applauded when he arose to speak that he drop ped at once into his most pleasing vein, and related a humorous anec dote of a man who spoke too fre quently and too long at school com mencements, and was therefore called a bore. “Now children,’’ asked ex-Sen. Russell, “what is a bore?*’ There was no response. “It is not possible, children,” said the ex-Senator, “that you are un able to tell me what a bore is. Now I see a bright-looking little fellow sitting in that front row. lam sure he knows. Tell me sonny, what is a bore The bright boy looked just then a trifle bewildered, but said nothing, and Mr. Russell, to encourage him, remaiked: “Come, my boy, speak up I know you can tell me. Now what is a bore?’’ The boy’s face reddened. He seemed anxious to avoid observa tion as he twisted uneasily in his chair, but the whole school, with parents, friends, teachers, princi pal and distinguished guests await ed eagerly and in dead silence his answer. There was no escape for him, and just as the long pause was becoming painful he blurted out: “A Senator!” Sueh a shout of laughter was never heard before in a Brooklyn school building. It was so pro longed that ex-Sen. Russell waited three minutes before attempting to renew his speech. Then the audience roared again, and again the ex senator was compelled to wait till the laugh rolled by. A few minutes later during the course of his speech he tried to aim a witty shot at the bey who had knocked him out, but the audience was in sympathy with the bright boy, and for the third time the laugh was against the ex senator. Mr. Russell says that he would now rather deliver an ad dress to a hostile political mob than attempt again to catechize an au dience of school-boys. “But,” he added, “I shall not mind much if the story is kept from the news papers.”—Brooklyn Eagle. The hero of the following true anecdote is a broken-haired terrier of the most common type, with nothing in his appearance to recom mend him except a pair of honest brown eyes, which look from under his shaggy eyebrows with a most pathetic expression. In color he is black, with light tan paws and chest, while a sprinkling of white on bis head and face gives him a venerable look to which he has in reality no claim, as he is now only eight years old. But “Rough” has never been young; from bis infancy his gravity of deportment has bven such as would become a dog of age and ex perience. One day, some years ago, he was seen coming up the avenue, followed at a short distance by a poor starved looking dog, who kept gazing about with a timid air, as if uncertain whether to advance or not. Rough, who was evidently encouraging him by every means in his power, at last succeeded in getting him as far as the kitchen door, where a basin of water was standing for the use of the dogs. To this basin Rough ad vanced, as if to draw the attention of the stranger to the fact that there was water in it. The thin was enough for the poor tired beast, who at once began eagerly to drink, Rough standing by, wagging his tail gently, the deepest satisfaction ex pressed In every hair of his wiry coat. When the stranger had quenched his thirst by drinking every drop of water in the basin, bis courage seemed to revive, and he looked ready to follow Rough, who now marched into the kitchen, walked straight up to the cook and wagged his tail, looking alternately in her face and at the starving dog, who had followed him so closely. There was no mistaking the expression of Rough's eyes, and the cook collected some scraps of cold meat on a plate, and placed them before the strange dog, which began at once to devou r them hastily. While he was eating, Rough stood by, still wagging his tail and evidently much pleased. When every morsel bad disap peared, he once more invited the stranger to follow, and this time it was the drawing-room that he led the way. On being admitted there, he introduced the outcast to the lady of the bouse, and after looking round on all present with much ap parent satisfaction, and once more wagging his tail, Rough left the room. He seemed to think the stranger’s fortune was made. I may add, that Rough's confidence was not misplaced, for a good home was found for the wanderer.— G. W, What is a Bore? A Generous Dog. SCIENCE. Of Interest to Doctors. Dr. Robert Taylor,formerly associ ated with Dr. L. A. Sagre, of this city, reports the cure of a case of traumatic tetanus, er lock-jaw, re sultant from a wound, which is, it is said, the only instance in which a fatal conclusion to such an attack has been averted. On May first Miss Effie Masterton, daughter of Mr. Robert M. Master ton, a retired New York merchant, residing at Brcntville, had the bones of the toe and instep of the right foot crushed. Dr. Taylor dressed the wound, removing a number ot pieces of bone, and trim seed off the little toe, which could not bj saved. Recognizing the extreme probabil ity of lock-jaw, he put the patient under the influence of morphine. He began by giving her sixty drops of Majendie’s solution of the sulphate of morphia (one quarter of a grain to the drachm) at each dose, three doses a day. This he increased grad ually until it was doubled, and dur ing the worst period of suffering that amount even was exceeded enough to keep her in a stupefied condition all the time. Twice a day her wound was dressed with balsam of Peru and oakum, and the bandage pressure was carefully regulated and constantly watched to prevent the matter burrowing. It healed admirably, showing a healthy tendency from the first. But eight days after the injury the first symptoms of look-jaw appeared—se vere and increasing pains in the sides of the face, followed by violent twitching in the muscles of the face and limbs. The pain in the sides of the face became so’great that it could hardly be allayed, even by the enormous doses of morphine given. In four days after the first symptoms developed the tetanus was fully es tablished. The girl's jaws were tightly locked together, the muscles of the right leg, arm, and side twitched convulsively, and the body was bent like a bow, resting upon the head and heels. These violent symptoms lasted nine days. During that time, in ad dition to the morphine, large quan tities of rye whiskey, brandy, cham pagne, sherry, egg-nog, milk punch, and other stimulants were given to her. The loss of a tooth permitted their introduction into the mouth through a rubber tube. At length the first indication of recovery ap peared in the cessation of the twitch ing of the muscles, and then the opening of the mouth far enough to peimit the passing of a knife blade between the teeth. From that point the progress of recovery-was rapid, until now the foot is well and the lock-jrw has disappeared. Interior Heat of the Earth. The German government is having a deep shaft sunk near Scliladebach, with the object of obtaining various kinds of scientific information, and especially trustworthy dnta concern ing the rate of increase of the earth’s temperature as we descend into the interior. The excavation is being carried on by a diamond tipped bor der driven by water. So far back as the beginning of this year the shaft had reached the depth of 1,382 me tres, which is believed to be the low est depth yet reached by boring. The temperature at successive stag es is ascertained by an ingenovs instrument which serves as a special thermometer, the principle of con struction being the fact that as the beat increases the mercury will expand so as to flow over the lip of a sufficiently short open tube in gieater and greater quantities. The measurement of the differences of those overflows will give the rate of increase of the temperature. It has been ascertained that the tempera ture at the depth of 1,382 metres was 49 deg. centigrade, or 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature In creases regularly at this rate, the boiling point of water ought to be reached at a depth of 3,000 metres, and at 75 kilometres we should And the heat at which platinum melts.— This would go to show that the earth’s crust cannot be more tnan about one-ninetieth of its radius. Shooting Stan Feed the Sun. The aggregate weight of these small scattered streams must be beyond comprehension, and is prob ably to be estimated by billions of tons. These small masses are con stantly towards the earth, some reaching its actual surface. So it must be with the moon,and with the other planets and satellites which compose the solar system; and this continual impact of meteors, howev er inappreciable its influence on earth, cannot be without its heat producing effects on the larger bod ies of our system. If this be so, how much greater must be the result produced by the enormous number of these bodies which, from a variety of causes, would be iacessautly pre cipitated upon the sun’s surface; and the suggestion has been put forward that we may find in this a sufficient* explanation of the apparently inex haustible emission of light and beat which the sun is ever radiating into infinite space. FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Get the Bat’s Confidence. An attempt to catch rats by traps, or by poisoning them suddenly, will fail. Old rats know too much and can only be caught by kindness. To destroy them, give them a good meal every day. Do not put any poison in the food, but simply pre pare a dish for them daily, as a free lunch, composed of corn meal moistened with milk, into which an egg and a little salt (to season) has been beatten. At first they may not touch It, but keep it before them making it fresh daily. They will soon try a little and if not in jurious their suspicions will be allayed. In a week or ten days they will accept it and every rat on the place will be at the appointed place for the treat. Give plenty of it, so as to induce all the rats in the neighborhood to join in. Do not be in a hurry to poison ths"’. If they eat all the food, give them a larger quantity next time. As soon as they have thrown off all suspicion go to your druggist, get some phosphorous paste or other rat poison, mix it with the food and be sure you give them enough and something to spare, so as to induce all to eat. They will either be killed or become so suspicious of all other food as to leave, and not a rat will remain Hence to destroy rats, take plenty of time, gain their confidence and finish them when they least expect it. The Digestibility of Oysters. The general practice of eating the oyster raw is evidence that the pop ular judgment upon matters of diet is usually trustworthy. The fawn colored mass, which is the delicious portion of the fish, is its liver, and is simply a mass of glycogen. Asso ciated with the glycogen, but with held from actual contract with it during life, Is its appropriate diges tive ferment —th e hepatic diastase. The mere crushing of the oyster between the teeth brings these two bodies together, and the glycogen is at once digested without any other help than the diastase. The raw, or merely warmed, oyster is self-diges tive. But the advantage of this pro vision is wholly lost by cooking; for the heat immediately destroys the associated ferment, and the cooked oyster has to be digested, like any other food, by the eater’s own disgestive powers. “My dear sir, do you want to ruin your di gestion?” asked Professor Haugh ton of Trinity College one day of a friend who had ordered brandy and water with his oysters in a Dublin restaurant. Then he sent for a glass of brandy and a glass of porter, and put an oyster in each. In a very short time there lay in the bottom of the glass of brandy a tough lealhery substance resembling the finger of a kid glove, while in the porter there was hardly a trace of the oyster to be found. To Thoroughly Olean Silk. To thoroughly clean silk, lay the breadth on a clean deal table, and, following the grain of the silk, wash it with a thin lather of soft soap and soft water. Rinse frequently in clear hard water, and roll in a cloth to dry. Next day sponge with sour porter or stout, and iron while wet, putting a thin cloth between the silk and the iron. The silk will be glossy and stiff, but the stiffness will wear off in making up. Strong coffee strained is also very good, used after washing as above. Ammonia is apt to turn the slik brown in a little time. Ox gall is recommended, but the porter can be safely and strongly recom mended. Green Corn and Peach Pudding. One cup of the pulp of green corn* which is obtained by cutting the kernels with a silver knife aad press ing out the pulp with the knife, being careful that the kernels are not loosened from the cob, one cup of sliced ripe peaches, crushed slightly, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one cup of water. Mix thoroughly, put in an earthen pud ding dish, placing thin slices of peach on the top. Bake from twenty minutes to half an hour in a a moderate oven. Servo cold. Mulberry-trees are good to plant in a chicken yard. They make a dense shade, afford a good deal of fruit for the fowls and the owner,and then are useful If one ever cares to go into silk culture. The fruit is healthy, excellent in flavor, and is a great favorite with children, and much better for them than green apples. Take some fried fish, two table spoonfuls of cream, a dessertspoon ful of butter, three or four onions, green chillies (when they are to be had), a piece of ginger, and two or three tablespoonfuls of vinegar; boil for ten minutes, then serve. This is an excellent breakfast disb. To kill worms in corn ground, plow late in fall, just before the ground friezes.— F. M. Woodard, Silvtr Lake P. 0., Washington Ter* ritory. Fish Moolie.

Centre Jerald. CHARLES F. HENDRYX, PUBLISHER. Thursday. Aug. 19, 1886. DEFERRED MATTER. The Journal Press has this to say of Stearns County politics While it conveys little information, yet it is all that is lying around loose at this time: County politics remain in a state of quiet simmering. There are can didates—all Democrats—in the field, and the woods are full of “feelers” who are cautiously touching the pulse of the honest voter. The task of ousting “the ins” is not so easy as at one time it was supposed to be. They are very much dis posed to stay in if they can. Rumor says that “Uncle Strong” will be the hardest man in the “circle” to beat though there are several persons whe would not object to relieve him of the cares of office. Mr. A. L. Cramb’s name is mentioned in connection with this office, as is also that of Mr. J. R. Bennett, Sr., the present efficient deputy. Bro. Remer, of the Nordstern, is said to be industriously reaching out for the seat of Auditor Vossberg’s official chair. He or any one else will have to get up early and stay up late to capture it. Treasurer Moosbrugger so far seems to have little to fear, though it is hinted that Mr. M. Gans, his predecessor, may be a candidate and warm up the political horizon of the treasury office. County Attorney Biuener is hold ing down a very uncomfortable po sition on the fence. He wants an office, there is no question as to that; and he is not so very particu lar as to which one it is, just so he can get it. He would like a re election, but he is not at all sure that L. T. Storey, of Sauk Centre may not warm the Attorney’s chair in spite of him, and if he were con fident that he could scoop Judge Brick he would not object to yield ing his present place to Storey and becoming Judge of Probate. Judge Brick, however, proposes to hold his own fort, and Mr. Bruener's agony of mind finds no relief in that quar ter. Judge Evans is also numer ously mentioned for the probate office, and if he should run would make the campaign a lively one for any opponent. Sheriff Mickley is also a candidate for re-election. The Sheriff's rotund figure is recognized as one which cannot easily be jostled aside. It is generally supposed that John P. Hammerel will be the opposing can didate for this office, though he does not say so. Mr. Andrew Kraemer is also spoken of. Register of Deeds Zapp and Superintendent Krebs are both still awaiting further developments. They will probably both have a pic nic to attend, as this is the year for office-getting, but the opposition to them does not seem to have even begun to take definite form as yet. It is generally conceded that the “slate” candidate for the Senate is Joseph Capser, of Sauk Centre, at least two offices being yielded by our generous Democratic brethern to the west end of the county—if it can get them. The rumors are just loud enough .to give promise of future developments, and whoever may be the candidates, the one thing certain is that any man in Stearns county who gets an office this fall will have to fight for it. THE GOVERNOR. Four weeks intervene before the state convention, and they will be active ones for the several candi dates for state office. The lines on the gubernatorial canvass are now sharply drawn and the three candi dates stand in this order Gilman, McGill, Gibbs, with the probabilities of a clear majority for neither of them on first ballot. What the re sult may be it is beyond human fore sight to certainly predict, but the chances are that Mr. Gilman has more "second strength” in reserve than either of the others, in which case he will secure the honorable preferment on second or third bal lot. The presentation of his claims and qualifications to the readers of the Herald is a work of supereroga tion. They are practically a unit in their enthusiastic endorsement of him. Elsewhere are given some ex cerpts from the state press which in dicates that he is just as enthusias tically championed elsewhere as here where he resides. He has every qualification which fits him for the position to which he aspires. His nomination and election would redound to the interest of the state. IN THE FIELD. The following is a verbatim copy of a letter being sent broadcast throughout the state to prominent politicians by Henry A. Castle of St. Paul, announcing himself a can didate for lieutenant governor. Each letter is in type writer and marked “confidential,” and a stamp is enclosed. Dear Sir—Having received much en ouragement from friends whom I have con sulted, I have determined to be a candl date for the Republican nomination for lljutenant governor. I am in combina tion with no other candidate on the state ticket, and my slate candidacy Is entered upon in good faith, to be persisted in to the end. Ido not know of any other aspirant for lieutenant governor, but the field is open, and several may develops as the cam paign progiesses. Hence I must begin to ascertain what strength I may hope lor In case ofa coutest. I shall be very glad to have your support If it can be given me without violence to your feelings or Interference with other ob ligations. I should also be pleased tc re ceive your suggestions as to what will be jny prospects with your delegation. Very respectfully yours, Henry a. Castlx. STATE DEMOCRACY. The democrats have departed from their time-honored policy of making a defensive campaign in Minnesota, and have assumed an un wonted aggressiveness, calling their state convention a week in advance of the Republican. What effect this will have upon the canvass remains to be seen. Mayor Ames of Minne apolis considers himself as good as nominated for governor, and relying upon his popularity in the Republi can county of Hennepin believes he can be elected. The Republicans have a clear majority of thirty or forty thousand in the state, but past events prove conclusively that party lines are not as strong as they once were. Other issues are drawing away votes from both parties. Pro hibition, Antimonopoly and the la bor question are all liable to enter into the coming canvass, and exert an unusual influence. It the Re publicans would be wise they mustnominate a strong ticket. A GOOD IDEA. It is suggested that a “Sauk Centre day” be made one of the features of the district fair at St. Cloud. A number of our citizens are interested in the scheme, and it could be made a most enjoyable occasion. If taken hold of in the right way it would be a brilliant success. A special train with low rates could be secured, leaving here in the morning and re turning in the evening, giving the entire day at the fair grounds. Would it not be well for our Board of Trade to take hold of this matter, stir up a little enthusiasm, and get up an excursion which would show this section of country that we are alive and can appreciate a good thing. One day given to this sort of recreation would be thoroughly en joyed and would do the village a vast amouut of good. Let us have a Sank Centre day. The Glyndon News, always level headed and conspicuously un preju diced, in a very able article on the gubernatorial outlook, pertinently says Sometimes it is asked, what great service has Gilman done the State of Minnesota that it should raise him to the chief place*? Verily, the News cannot tell—but if that be the gauge why dally with any of these three? It is as fair a question, why not reward him for running the batteries of a dozen campaigns for elective office with no more smell of lire upon his garments? What bad things has he done in his long pub lic career? Has he stolen, been bribed, betrayed official trust? He must have made a record, being so continously in public life. Unless his detractors furnish some sort of a bill of particulars soon, there Is danger that Gilman will be “loved best for the enemies he has made,” and get nominated and elected gov ernor on a sympathy issue. Now we ain’t saying anything against Mr. Gilman, nor for him. We are just protesting against the style ot argument so prevalent among weekly newspapers of the State, made up chiefly of vigorous trouncing of Gilman without saying what is the matter with him, along with praises of Gibbs or McGill so faint as to be a confession that the authors know little or no good of them.” The hundreds of donors through out the land said that they gave what they did contribute for those who lost their property by the cy clone—Sauk Rapidt Sentinel. The Sentinel is clearly putting un said words into the mouths of “hun dreds of donors.” A spontaneous butburst of sympathy on the part of the public, at the news of the ter rible disaster at Sauk Rapids and St. Cloud, prompted the hundreds of donors to contribute their money to relieve the distress which the re ports so widely depicted. Physical suffering, sorrow and destitu tion were the features demand ing relief. Now, If the Sentinel’s theory be correct, that the money contributed should be expended to repair prop u rty damages and make good losses, irrespective of the necessi ties of the losers, would not the Northern Pacific road be entitled to its share of the fund? Its losses were about second on the list. A severe rain and wind storm vis ited northern Minnesota and Dakota on Monday afternoon. At Norman considerable grain was destroyed and several persons struck by light ening. At Abercrombie several buildings were wrecked, cars were blown a hundred feet from the track. It was reported that at Breckenridge great damage was done and several lives lost; later advices say this is a mistake, as no lives were loit and the damage is trifling. At La Moure the Presbyterian church was blown down,and several buildings unroofed. At Brown’s Valley a large amount of property was destroyed. Near Fer gus Falls barns were blown down and houses damaged. At Larimore a church was blown down, In fact, a large area was visited by the de structive wind. At a meeting of the Republican State Committee, held in St. Paul on Thursday last, it was decided to hold the state convention in St. Paul on Wednesday, September 22d. The basis of representation will be one delegate from each county irrespect ive of its vote, and one delegate for each 400 votes, or major fraction thereof, cast for the Blaine electors in 1884. Under this apportionment Stearns County will be entitled to four delegates, as the Blaine vote in this county was a trifle more than 1300. Republican sentiment at the na tional capital is divided between Senator Sherman and James G. Blaine as the Presidential cam didate in 1888. The feeling prevails among Mr. Blaine's friends that he could win the next battle by avoiding the mistakes upon which his camdidacy stranded in 1884. Mr. Sherman’s supporters rely upon the Senator's splendid record both as senator and cabinet officer to pull him through the national convention. It is firmly believed that Mr. Cleveland will accept renomination at the hands of the Democratic National Committee. The wonder ful fatality among the active work ing democrats of the Empire state during the past year leaves the New York democrats without an ac knowledged leader, and there is not the confidence of success which otherwise would be asserted. The Fifth district congressional committee met at Fergus Falls on Tuesday, the following being pres ent George C. Waters, chairman, Fer gus Falls G. I. Becker, Brown’s Valley Nathan Butler, Barnesville; Thomas Cowing, Alexandria; John Ives, Crookston, proxy for E Will. The apportionment was decided upon by adopting the Cleveland vote and a basis of 250. The date of the convention was fixed for Sept. 24 at Sauk Centre. The committee then adjourned. Hon. John L. Gibbs says that any convention slate upon which his name is not written in bold face caps will be found to be a delusion and a snare. He is satisfied with bis prospects, he says, and of course he would not be unless he was con vinced of his success. Can either of the other candidates say as much? Verily, the coming man must be Mr. Gibbs! The Minneapolis exposition will open on Monday next, the orator of the occasion being Hon. C. K. Davis. At the close of his address the wheels of the machinery will be set in motion by President Cleveland’s wife, by telegraph. The circuit will be so completed that a touch of the key in northern New York will start the machinery in Minneapolis. Hugh Dolan, a barkeeper at Brain erd. was shot through the body by a rough customer known as Red Ray, and contrary to all precedent and ex pectation, the injuied man will prob ably recover. This will be fortu nate for the assailant, as a lynching party had been organized. The Millers’ Association has re organized for the season, and will purchase in the open market from commission men and dealers, and will withdraw local purchasers. This plan if not modified, will give better satisfaction to the grower. The breeziest exchange which makes its welcome weekly visit to our table is the Princeton Union. It is as fresh as a daisey and as crisp as a Saratoga potato. It may not always be right but it is always hon est and fearless. John Cain, an employe of the Min neapolis electric light company, was instantly killed by an electric cur rent while at work making some re pairs. He was virtually struck by artificial lightning. Mr. McGill was in Winona and Mr. Gibbs in Mcorhead on Monday,work ing the political situation at the ex treme ends of the line. Mr. Gilman was meantime covering a’.l the terri tory between the two. The knowing ones seem to see an advantage to C. A. Gilman’s candi dacy in the late date fixed for the state convention. This is an im plied compliment, if Ills chances improve with age. The Herman Herald and Ashby Avalanche are exchanging journal istic courtesies of an exalted type. Liar, knave, fool—-are mild epithets in their respective vocabularies. Wisconsin has been visited by heavy rains, checking the forest fires and giving much needed relief to vegetation. President and Mrs. Cleveland have gone to the Adirondacks for a four weeks fishing excursion. By the bursting of a boiler in a wood-working shop at Ashland,Wis., five persons were killed. The II ouston County delegates are outspoken for C. A. Gilman for Governor. The Glenwood fire department has anew bell. GILMANIA. The remark made by tbe Dispatch tbe other day that Oilman’s strength was not confined to Northern Minnesota finds Its proof and Illustration in the ease unanim ity with which Mr. Gilman carried Houston county last week. Mr. G’s recent trip through some of the southern counties was almost In tbe nature of an ovation. The manner in which he was received by tbe people generally, demonstrated the fact tbe slanders tbat have been heaped upon him by a certain portion of the press carry no weight. The merits of Mr. Oilman’s two leading opponents may be freely acknowl edged, but that they have any stronger hold upon the respect and affection of the people of all sections of Minnesota than Lieut. Gov. Oilman Is not capable of demonstration.— St. Paul Dispatch. Lieut. Gov. Gilman attended the conven tion at Preston last Friday. Oilman Is an aggressive candidate for Governor and has high hopes of success. Judging from his past exploits, we should not be at all sur-. prised to see him draw tbe longest straw. Seven years ago, when he was first nomin ated for his present position, he went into the state convention without his own coun ty and yet he licked tbe whole crowd. Three years ago they had him beat sure, but when ‘•the rural districts were heard from” lie again found himself on top. It behooves Messrs. Olbbs and MuGill to look well after their topknots, or Gilman will have th m.— Preston Times Gov. Oilman happened to be present in Preston on tbe day of the republican con vention, called to elect delegates from Fill more county to the congressional conven tion. A committee was appointed to invite him to the convention and to deliver an ad dress. He accepted and spoke half an hour, giving his views upon the issues before the people of the state. He was kindly received, and has reason to feel complimented at the treatment accorded him.— St. Cloud Times, (.Dem.) One thing Charlie Oilman’s enemies will find out at the meeting of the state conven tion if not before—which Is that kis friends will stand by him through thick and thin. They have a firm belief that he will be nom mated, and this will be strenghtened to knowledge after the convention.— Perndale Journal. The business in which Mr Gilman is en gaged makes his Interests identical with those of the farmer and laboring man and it Is a well known fact that be has done more for northern Minnesota in the past dozen years than any other man in the state.— Todd Co. Argus. "Oilman for Governor.” is the voice of a great number of our state press. McGill will no doubt be the second onolce with a following to hear from.— Granite Falls Tri- Ifhie, Il is now In order for the Herman Herald and papers of its ilk to assert that Oilman Is pledged to release the Younger boys if he is elected Governor, and that a corruption fund has been raised by the friends of the Youngers for the express purpose of electing Oilman.— Princeton Union. While be has enemies that are busy in their schemes to injure him, be it said to his credit that they have yet failed to bring up one distinct charge against him, and con sidering the long time he has been before the public in office, this is something won derful. He is very popular in his own coun ty, and always runs ahead of his ticket.— Glenwood Prut Bulletin. Gilman is net only a politician but he is a practical farmer, a hard-headed business man, a public officer of wide experience, and has a better knowledge of the practical needs of the great state ol Minnesota than any other public man within her borders. And, while we are on this subject, we may as well remark that if straws are *ky indi cation as to which way the wind blows it will be Governor Oilman after November.— PUlard Bulletin. The governor question is growing warm and it now looks as if the contest was be tween Gilman and McGill with Gilman in the lead, Kanabe Timet, BPEOIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Washington, D. C., Aug. 16,1886. To the Editor of the fferald Now that Congress has taken a recess to recuperate for the responsibilities of next fall, the President is perfecting arrange ments to have a romp in the Adirondacks for a month or more. It is probable that he will (leave Washington this week, and will not return before Oct. Ist. He is now engaged in the consideration of matters which he wishes to dispose of before leav ing the city. The principal question is in regard to filling vacancies existing in the Civil Service, many of which are due to the failure of the Senate to act upon nomina tions submitted to it. In a large number of such cases the President has commissioned the persons nominated to serve during the recess of Congress, and it is believed that this rule will be followed in all oases. Local polities are much surprised and indignant at the action of the President in commis sioning Matthews as Recorder of Deeds for the District, in defiance of the Senate’s re jection. After all that has been said and done to outwit Matthews 4it does not seem hardfor the District Democracy to get the cold shoulder from the President who has ex pressed himself la favor of home men far home offices. A large number of rejected nominees have already been renominated and commissioned by the President, and in consequence the air is full of rumors of what the Senate will do next fall. There are still some forty members of Congress in the city and a few Senators. These are mostly members who have been renominated and have remained to en deavor to obtain the offices promised for support in the canvass for renomiuatioa. Some of the members, however, are from the Districts in which appointments had been made and either rejected by the Senate or not acted on at all, and these “nice plums” the members are looking alter for faithful consltuents. Some of the most astute politicians suffered tbe offices to be filled byßepublicans until the adjourn ment of Congress, and then asked lo have such officials suspended and Democrats ap pointed in their places. Such a policy gives the places to the new appol .tees for at least five months without danger of being de prived of them I y the Republican Senate in less time than that. It is supposed too il.at when a removed official has been out for six months he will lose some of his thirst for revenge by the time Congress re assembles, and will not trouble himself to nave the new man rejected. He wll become used to being out of office and not care so much for it nor feel so sore over his removal. I heard a member of Congress say 1» a street car one day this week that the dwy be fore he had a plain talk with the President and told him that he had received a reuom -1 nation but could not be elected unless the President would at once give him tbe Fed eral appointments in his district. To lose the district would be to lose a Demon rale member, and the President should not per mit a loss to his party when it is in his pow er so prevent it. The member said that the argument was a “knock down one,” and Ibe President told him to make out his list and send it with the papers in support' of each applicant and he would make the appoint ments. Plain talk is the most effective af ter all, and as many members are usiig the same argument, appointments in large numbers may be looked for before the Presi dent leaves for his vacation. The offices be long to the Democrats by right of conquest, argue the petitioners, and the evil Is not in appointing men of your own party, but ir not selecting the best men of the party to fill them. The work of remodeling the President’* country house on the outskirts of Washing ton is advancing rapidly, and day by day it begins to look more picturesque and less an tique It is expected ibtit the work will be completed about October Ist, and the bouse placed in condition for immediate occu pancy when the President and bis wife re turn from their summer vacation. Mean- while the grounds have been placed in charge of a landscape gardener, who consults Mrs. Cleveland as to what she would like and then plans to please her. Mrs. Cleve land spends some time of every day at the cottage, watching the workmen, as tbey gradually transform the somber old mansion into a pleasant, comfortable and attractive suburban villa. Th e features of the exterior are the broad and pleasant piazzas surround' ing the house and the high and picturesque roof of tiles. Two very interesting additions have been made to the National Museum lately. Mrs. Lilia May Pavy, the widow of the late Dr Octave Pavy, naturalist aud surgeon of tne" Greely Arctic Expedition, has donated to the Museum the articles collected by ber husband on his trip to the Arctic regions. Among the articles thus donated are two suits of eiderduck worn by the Esquimaux women, a fur suit, paper knives mad* from walrus tusks, a footstool made of the skin of black and white polar bears, a model of the sled used by Dr. Pavy in the south ef Green land, whist counters made from walrus tusk and a piece of the flag of the Polaris, carried by Dr. Pavy to latitude 88°. The Grant rel les, accepted in the last hours of Congress by a Joint resolution of both houses, have been placed on exhibition in the museum, and will remain there p ermanently. They al ready attract more attention than anything else on exhibition. H- The following patents were granted to citi zens of Minnesota, bearing date Aug. 10,1886.

The Fair to be held at St. Cloud on September 7th, Blb, 9th and 10th, promises to be by far the best local agricultural exhibition ever held in central Minnesota, and will rival the state fairs of a few years ago. The number of entries in all de partments is much larger than last year and the premium list far more inviting in its liberality. The district specially interested, embracing the Counties of Stearns. Benton, Sherburne and MilleLacs, are among the wealthiest in agricul tural and natural products of any in Minnesota, and this District fair is meeting with cordial response among the farmers and breeders. Very few of our agriculturists fully appreciate the extent of our fine stock-raising interests. There are a number of as fine herds of cattle and studs of horses embraced in this territory as car. be found in the state, excepting two or three very noted stock farms a little farther south. And there is a pleasing variety, too. The choicest animals of all these herds and studs will be on exhibition, and it will well repay any farmer to inspect them. The amcunt of information to be de rived and the stimulus toward im provement there imported will be of incalculable benefit. There will be special features, notably, a Farmer's Institute, which will be of great value. The best lecturers on agri cultural subjects have boen secured, and during the entire fair the Insti tute will be continued. Let Western Stearns be well rep resented, both in the list of exhibit ors and among the spectators. Money so expended will be well in vested. Send to the secretary at St. Cloud and secure premium lists, ex amine them carefull y and enter the best you have in competition. There is no reason why this portion of the district rniy not secure a liberal share of the premiums. Lake View. Father Cogan has builded up an educational institution eui generis, of which he has reason to be proud, and his fellow citizens of this village claim tbe privilege of sharing the pride with him. The plan of individ ualjinstruction on a large scale would seem, on its face, to be impracti cable, and yet he has demonstrated net its practicability only, but its peculiar value —making it exactly fit into a nichffin the educational sys tem which must have remained an unsightly gap but for him. The fact that he has had at one time un der his tu e age grown men, heads of families, and children whose years are numbered with one numeral, giving perfect satisfaction, is strong er than any adverse theory, or doubt as to the utility of the plan. Every student is in fact taught as thor ouglriy, conscientiously and individ ually as though he were the sole member of the school. It is gratifying to learn that the* prospects for a large attendance were never as fair as at present. The school will be crowded. A Distressing Accident. One of the most melancholy acci dents which has happened in this village for many months occurred on Tuesday forenoon. Frankie, the bright six year old son of John J. Gettys, who lives in the western part of the village, attemped to climb upon the side of a grain separ ator, or threshing machine, which was going along the road, near bis father's house. The little fellow slipped and so fell that one of the rear wheels passed over the lower portion ot his body diagonally, frac turing the pelvic bone, and it is feared inflicting fatal injury. He was conveyed to the house, and medical assistance summoned with out delay, and evtrtbing possible done for him. His physician, Dr. McMasters, considers the situation very critical, to say the least. Frankie was a bright little fel low, the oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Gettys, and a great favorite with all who knew him. The Oakland Property. The Evening Journal has the fol lowing relative to Minneapolis prop erty, Messrs. Geo. M. Bennett and F. G. Burke being the attorneys for the plaintiff. It will be seen that the plaintiffs have gained a very materi al point in their favor, In court: The Oakland property case was before Judge Lochren again this morning on a de murr -r to the defendants’ answer. Two months ago the plaintiffs demurred to tbe defendants’ answer,and after argument the demurrer was sustained Leave was given to the defendant te make an amended an swer. This amended answer was made by the delendants, to a portion of which the plaintiffs ng tin demurred. This phase was argued before Judge Lochren today. The court said he did not desire to hear any aigument upon it from the counsel for tbe plaintiff, but that he weuld hear counsel tor the defendant if desired. Messrs. Woods Savage, for the defendants,were present, and Mr. Savage argued in opposition to the demurrer at considerable length, but the court sustained the demurrer, stat ing that the mortgagee being dead at the time of the foreclosure proceedings complained of that the act of R. B. Galus slia in pretending to foreclose the mortgage was false and an absolute nullity, through which neither Galusha, the purchaser at the foreclosure sale in 1870, nor the defendant who claimed title through him, acquired any rights in the property whatever by rea son thereof. The court has virtually decided that the plaintiffs are the legal owners of the prop erty. The property in question consists of 169 lots in Oakland and Silver Ijike additions, about 25 of which are occupied, and which the plaintiffs claim were not occupied before 1883. Fine Orayon Work. Mr. J. I. Fenner of Minneapolis, has on exhibition at the photograph ic gallery of Kertson Cour tea u several fine specimens of crayon work, enlarged from small photo graphs, ambrotypes and tin pictures. There are several pictures which will be recognized, notably one of “Pet,’’ Mr. E. J. Harrison’s dog. It is true to life. .63 .59 .54 .59 Mr. Fenner is a fine artist, and guarantees all his work. lie extends a cordial invitation to the Herald readers to visit the gallery and give his work critical inspection. He will remain about two weeks, and will receive orders for work in his line, Tliis is a line opportunity for persons desiring pictures enlarged, as they can be assured of satisfaction. He makes a specialty of family groups. It will repay anyone to call at the gallery and see his work there on exhibition. Real Estate Transfers.

Farmer Gibbs was in town for sev eral minutes last Saturday. He stepped off the train at the depot, where he was made acquainted with some very unpalatable facts relating to the canvass in this vicin ity. He was on his way to Otter Tail county, which by the way is the political Mecca at present, it hav ing been noised about that that Em pire county is opposed to Gilman. Mr. McGill was up there week before last.Mr.Gibbs lat&week,and it is quite possible Mr. Gilman will be there next week, or the week after. The condition of the streets of this village is simply disgraceful. The weeds fairly obstruct the high way in places. It would take but a few minutes for each individual to cut the weeds in front of his own property, and the result would be such an improvement as one can hardly appreciate. If this is not done it would be well for the council to repeal the pound ordinance and let the cattle run the streets. They would make quick work of most of them. Cut the weeds or dis charge the pound-master The Manitoba road will sell round trip tickets to the Minneapolis ex position, including admission ticket to the exposition.at $5.30 each. Sale to commence Aug. 22 nd and to con tinue every Tuesday and Thursday of each week during the continnence of the exposition, the return por tion to be good until the Monday following date of sale. The Pathfinders will te-appear at the opera house on Tuesday next, with an entire new program. Since the company was here they have been strengthened by adding two artists, and are now one of the lead-' ing companies on the road. Their band has also added new members, which puts it in better condition than ever. Do not fail to see them. This new play, “Six Peas in a Pod” is the most laughable comedy ever produced. The remark was made in a barber shop other day, that there had been more dog talk in town during the preceding week, than for a year. The Brower dog, the Keller dog, tbe Maire dog and tbe disputed Jordan- Barrows-Apf eld dog bad furnished abundant topic. “Yes,” said Harry Parker, who occupied one of the chairs, it’s dog days,” and a square yard of lather in his mouth cut him short. Served him right. The following are among the ar rivals at the Sauk Centre house dur ing the past few days: W. S. Thomp son, J. C. Winans, P. C. Edwards, Chicago F. W. Foster, Dundee, Ill.; J. D.

He not only enjoyed the trip, but returned in far better health than he has enjoyed for several years. Frank Telman, the gentlemanly and efficient secretary of the District Agricultural Society, was in town on Friday and Saturday. He says the fair will be a brilliant success, the management already having abundant assurances of that fact. The entries are pouring in, the premium list is large, and the num ber of exhibitors will be double that of last year. W. P. Howe, who spent some time here as manager of the Little Falls and Dakota supply store while the road was in course of construction, was in town last week distributing advertising matter for the state fair. W. P. is a rustler, and what he don’t know about advertising could be condensed into a very smail pamphlet. Dorman B. Pike, son of Rev. A. J.

Win Reyleck has returned from a collecting tour for Henry Keller through Morrison and Benton coun ties. The Hubbard Hammock Chair fac tory has been compelled to shut down all its machinery, as it has no power.

The oldest inhabitant does not rec collect such a low state of water in tbe dam. The Keller factory has completed its first installment of farming mills, which are being shipped rapidly to fill orders. The mills have been improved in several ma terial points, making it much more desirable than ever. Ths grain in this vicinity is all cut and at least one third of it in the stack. There has been a little threshing done from the shock, but as a rule the farmer prefers letting ths wheat go through the sweating process in the stack.

HOW TO DETECT COUNTERFEITS. Description of n Peculiar Bank-Note Pa per —Dangerous Imitation Greenbacks. The United States treasury department has, of late years, adopted for bonds and currency, u peculiar paper described be low, and which is deemed a stronger pro tection against counterfeiters than that used by the Bank of England, which has recently been dangerously counterfeited in £SO, £IOO and £SOO notes. As the first issue of greenbacks, which were not printed on liber paper, were most dangerously counterfeited, but have almost wholly disappeared from circula tion, therefore, receive them with great caution, or refuse them if in doubt about their genuineness. All other genuine greenbacks, gold and silver certificates aud later issues of na tional bank notes are printed on the gov ernment fiber paper; the first kind with the fiber distributed in short pieces, local ized with a blue tint, detected by picking it with a pin; the other with the liber in two parallel threads, red and blue silk, running lengthwise through the note, seen be holding the note up to the light. The public are cautioned not to draw these threads out of the paper. If in doubt about the genuineness of any bank note in the report, refuse it un less printed on government fiber paper. All national bank notes not in this report are genuine, whether printed on govern ment paper or not. The counterfeit $lO and S3O silver certifi cates are not on government paper. Some of the counterfeit $5, $lO and S2O green backs (series of 1875) and SSO and SSOO (se ries of I 860) are an imitation distributed fiber paper. Very dangerous. These are all the counterfeits on the new greenbacks worth noticing. Better refuse all twenties, fifties and one hundreds on the banks in this report un less printed on the government paper. All genuine bank notes having brown back and seal, have both kinds of the fiber paper combined; while the counter feit $lO, on the Third National bank of Cincinnati, 0., and the photographic coun terfeit $5, on the First National bank of Milwaukee, Wis., have no fiber. These two are the only counterfeits on the brown backs. Better refuse all pieced notes. All United States currency having a brown seal has the parallel threads or cables. All United States currency printed slnu 1809 is on government fiber paper. There are in circulation a great many very dangerous counterfeit $lO green backs, dated 1875. AH the genuine of that date are on distributed filler paper.— Detroit Free Press. Who la It That Settles Fashions f There is one thing which it is difficult tc comprehend. Who settles the fashions! Who invents them! Upon whose ipse dixit are they established so firmly that every body who is anybody must bow down to them? You never hear of a convention of hatters to deliberate upon the spring style of hats, whether it shall be of this form or that. Suddenly, as if by miracle, it appears in the shops, and everybody puts it on—that is, all who care for the good opinion of their fellow creatures. The old iiat may or may not be worn out, but it is sternly deposed, whatever its con dition, and its successor elevated to the crown. it is so with so many other things. By what authority were boots so peremptorily declared unfashionable? Who was it said white waistcoats should no longer be worn How came tail coats to be forbid den except for evening wear? Who is 1’ enacts that shoes shall sometimes be pointed aud sometimes square-toed? Whc banished white stockiugs and substituted black ones? Alas! we know not. We obey a hidden dictator. We surrender at discretion to some power, we know not oi whom, nor what it is. We only do as we are bid, and are only too happy to be obe dient. The change is not an improvement; if it were we should abide by it, which is the hist thing we expect to do. All we can say is that we would not be thought singu lar, and that we are under a sort of moral obligation to do as other men do.—Charles T. Congdon in Chicago Times. Origin of the Buffalo Grub. Otto Lugger, the naturalist formerly connected with the Johns Hopkins uni versity, but now of the agricultural bu reau uf Washington,has been through Ten nessee and Mississippi investigating the buffalo grub, which during the months of March and April is a dreadful scourge in the southwest. The insect is only about one-third the size of the common house fly, and obtains its name from its resem blance to the profile of the buffalo. These pests suddenly appear in myriads, attack ing horses and cattle and killing them by blood poisoning in a few hours. Mr. Lug ger says this gnat is the most unceasingly active insect in existence. Heat only quiets them, and when the weather be comes warm they disappear. He traced their origin to a small worm which breeds in swamps and along running streams, and the only remedy he can suggest is to clear out the streams aud permit the run ning water to carry the worms away.— Ban Francisco Chronicle. A Monument for Arnold Winkelrled. Most school children have read of the heroic conduct of Winkelrled, how he gathered to his own breast the spears ol the Austrian phalanx, and thus broke the ranks of the enemy. This deed ot courage and of sacrifice was performed in the bat tle of Sempach, fought between the Swiss aud Austrians just 500 years ago. Meas ures have already been taken to commem orate this event near Luzerne, in Swit zerland, on the occurrence of the 500th an niversary in July. A monument is to be erected on the battle-fleld, and the neigh boring cantons will furnish a grand his t- ical procession in the costumes ot T jukelried’s time. —Cincinnati Enquirer. Jerusalem’s Long-Lost “Second Wall.” Prof. Hayter Lewis, who has just re turned to England from Jerusalem, brings the news that the find of the wall north of the “Citadel” in the Holy City promises to be a discovery of the very highest im portance. The wall is from eight to ten feet thick; it is built of masonry exactly similar to that in the lower courses of “David’s Tower”—that is, of large stones with the well-known and characteristic marginal drift; and there is a deep rock scarp at its foot. These circumstances point very strongly to the presumption that there is here the long-lost second wall.—London Athenaeum. To Popularize Fish In Germany.

Thinking to have a little sport, Mr. V. asked John if be would like a nice goose for his dinner the 'd, next day. “I tank you a hundred million times ef you gib me de goose, ’deed I will,” John ex claimed; and in due time the skinless body of the eagle was wrapped in a newspaper, and Johnson started off with it under his arm, still volubly expressing his gratituda Ai out a week after Mr. V. met Johns n on Union street, and asked him how he liked the goose he had given him. “Dat goose," said Johnson, showing his ivories. “Dat war de toughest goose.

They are claimed to be beneficial for rheuma-. turn and kindred troubles. Mr. Charles* P. Griffin, a butcher of Stuart, la., re cently made a trial of them and, while they appear to have done him some good, he afterwards discovered a cure which proved infinitely more efficacious. He gives this account: “My attack was a very severe one, and for three months I was compelled to elose my store, as I was not able to attend to business at all. My joints were swollen and there did not seem to be any part of my body that did not ache. After suffer ing in this way until the pain weft almost beyond endurance I went to Colfax Springs to try the effects of the waters. The day I left home I had to be carried down stairs. After remaining at the Springs a month I came back home feel ing somewhat better. A few weeks later, however, I had a relapse which prostrated me the same as before. It was at that time that I learned of Athlophoros. I sent for a bottle of it, and in fifteen minutes after I had taken the first dose I felt the effects of it, and when I had finished my third bottle I was well. I have not had any rheumatism since and have attended to my business every day, which is a thorough test, as I am obliged to be out all kinds of weather and at all seasons of the year. If I had known of Athlophoros in the first Slace it would have saved me hundreds of ollars and the detriment to my business in closing my store. I take great pleasure in recommending it to others.” Dr. L. D. Rounds, a dentist, for six teen years a resident of Oskaloosa, but for the past three years of Albia, la., relates an equally pleasant experience with A th-, lophoros: Rheumatism,” he says, has been my most serious trouble until about ayear ago, when I used a bottle of Athlophoros. Since that tin e I have not had a twinge of it. Previously I had been subject to sciatic rheumatism for several years, many times so badly that I could scarcely drag myself around. When I commenced with Athlo phoros my legs wert so stiff that I could scarcely get up the steps to my office. But I am not troubled that way now, and the joints of my legs are as free as they ever were. I had tried so many remedies be fore that I had no faith in Athlophoros when I began with it, but I changed my mind after I had taken a few doses and found relief. All I used was one bottle. It is the grandest medicine ever heard of for rheumatism. My wife has also used Athlophoros with success equal to mine.” During the years I have been in busi ness,” says O. E. Givins, a druggist at Stuart, Mr. Griffin’s home, u I have sold many different kinds of proprietary medi cines but none that has given such uni versal satisfaction as Athlophoros has for rheumatism. I always feel when I hand out a bottle of that medicine to a custo mer that I am giving him the full value of his money. Since I have seen its won derful effects among my customers I gladly recommend it in every instance for rheu matism.” If you cannot get Athlophoros of your drug gist,' we will send it express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn’t it, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us, as directed.

HALL'S Vegetable Sicilian HAIR RENEWER was the first preparation perfectly adapted to cure diseases of the scalp, and the first suc cessful restorer of faded or gray hair to its natural color, growth, aitd youthful beauty. It has had many imitators, but none have so fully met all the requirements needful for the proper treatment of the hair and scalp. Hall’s Hair Renewer has steadily grown in favor, ami spread its fame and usefulness to every quarter of the globe. Its unparaL leled success can be attributed to but one cause: the entire fulfilment of its promises. The proprietors have often been surprised at the receipt of orders from remote coun tries, where they had uever made an effort for its introduction. The use for a short time of Hall’s Hair Renewer wonderfully improves the per sonal appearance. It cleanses the scalp from all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It stimulates the weakened glands, and enables them to push forward a new and vigorous growth. The effects of this article are not transient, like those of alcoholic prepara tions, but remain a long time, which makes its use a matter of economy.

IY lara lerisi xzi IJ oco-n«i’»«» /("CLEOPATRA'S ASP. 1» Actors accustomed only to the short tourneys and civilized sourroundings which are connected with a tour through the English provinces can have little no tion of what it is to be “on the road” in the western states of America. It is not inly that the country and the people are less civilized, but both are so different. Side by side with the strongest marks of primitive habitation you find instances of the latest Inventions. The Pullman car startles the antelope and the prairie dog In its passage; advertisements of Mustang liniment are daubed upon immemorial cliffs; and every little township of wooden houses has its church, its newspaper, and its lyceum. It was in the latter buildings (which, for the benefit of the uninitiated I may ex plain, serve mnch the same purposes as in English town hall) that the traveling company that I had arranged to join at Kansas City, in the spring of 188—, usu ally gave its performances. The company was about to join was one of those strug gling combinations of which there ire so many traveling the states. Upon the basis of a sit all amount it capital and a large stock of histrionic enthusiasm, the “leading man” »f the company, who was also the mana ger, had “organized” the troupe for the txposltion to the benighted denizens of lhe far west of the beauties of the legiti mate drama in general, and of his own icting in particular. His wife was a little roman from Florida, and the darkness of her complexion and a certain blueness of the tinge of her finger-nails spoke pretty lecidedly of an admixture of negro blood In herself or in her ancestors. I found, won after I joined the company, that she had been tried in Shakespearian leading parts, but had so egregiously failedin them that even to the partial eyes of her spouse the fact was evident that a substitute for her in these roles must be found. The re mit was an advertisement in a New York theatrical paper, and my acceptance thereof, decided partly by the fact that i had been “resting” for a tediously long period, but more by the opportunity which seemed to be offered to me of gaining experience in the higher walks of the drama. I found the manager, who rejoiced in the Fransatlantically aristocratic name of Calhoun, extremely polite, indeed, per haps rather too much so, considering that sis wife was a member of the company. I must say, however, that this amiability >n Mr. Calhoun’s part arose much more from histrionic selfishness than from any thing approaching gallantry. Like most mthusiastics, he would have sacrificed mything to Improve the effect of his per formances; and the fact that in me he found a leading lady who, whilst compe tent to sustain the characters allotted to her to the satisfaction of his audiences, was yet sufficiently modest to adopt his views of the proper treatment of a dramatic situation, had, I am sure, more to do with his cordiality than any per sonal admiration for myself. I need hardly say that the “views” alluded to generally dictated giving a prominence in his own performances and a retiring re serve in mine which was not in every case warranted by the author’s text. As for Mrs. Calhoun (Pepita, as her husband called her—an example we may is well, for the sake of brevity, follow), the showed her dislike forme the moment we met. It was, perhaps, too much to ex pect an actress who hud made a failure in ‘leading business,” and who had been relegated to the Charmians and Emilias jf Skakespcriun representations, to welcome with cordiality the individual who came to take her place. At the same time. I think Pepita tnight have been a little less demonstra tive of her antipathy. When we met in the passages of the various theatres which we visited she swept past after the slight jst of nods, turning to me with marked iisdain her rounded, though somewhat swarthy shoulders; and whilst 1 was upon the stage I often caught a glimpse of her standing in the wings, glaring at me with eyes that shone with the lurid glare of bitter detestation. I soon discovered that, in addition to her hatred of me as a dr latic rival, Pepita sherished a feeling of jealousy of anomer kind. Knowing how de- ply artistic egotism irowned every other voice in Mr. Cal houn’s breast, I was much amused at thh ridiculous fancy on her part; and lam ashamed to say that, to annoy Pepita, I aften elaborated the “business" between Mr. Calhoun and myself, especially in scenes of an amorous nature. 1 had, how ever, to be careful how I did this; for the tragedian, whose mind was entirely occu pied with himself and the effect he was producing upon the audience, was inclined to be uneasy at my thus putting myself forward; and I saw clearly that the day an which 1 cast him distinctly into the shade would be the day on which I should receive a firm but courteous “notice.” I will pass over several weeks of experience of this sort, during which 1 had firmly established myself ir the good graces or the various member of the company, (with the exception al ways of the hostile Pepita), and come to the time of our visit to the little city of Selma, in the state of 1 generally made a point, in the places in which w> played, of making the acquaintance of few of the more respectable of the inhabi tants. Manners are much franker ano more simple in this particular than with you in England, and a well-conducted young woman in a traveling company ti received with hospitality by the unconven tional people of the western townships. During our stay at Selma 1 had made thti acquaintance of the family of Deacot Clay, which consisted of one strapping girl and three stalwart sons, all about (or over) six feet in height. The eldest and most stalwart of these three was named Saul, and it was be who in the forenoons during the first three days of our stay at Selma showed me the “lions” of the place, the water-fall, the saw-mill, and the “Maiden’s Leap”—for Selma, like other places, had its romantic traditions. On the fourth, as I, like Oliver, “asked for more,” he proposed to take me on a visit to “Old Leathers.” I consented, and on our way to this curious personage’s abode he gave me some information about him. Old Leathers, appears, was a harmless lunatic, who lived on odd jobs and the charity of the neighboring farmers. His particular weakness was a friendship for snakes in general, and rattlesnakes in pai Cicular. To avoid the danger of being bitten by these reptiles, he invariably wore a suit of soft leather, boots, jerkin, In all—hence his cognomen. We started from the town in one of those boxes upon wheels, which are digni fled in the west by the name of “wagons;” and after a jolting drive of several miles arrived at a glen between the two “bluffs." At the top of this Saul fastened the horses and led me carefully down the narrow path which wound its way to the bottom of the little valley.
