Two DISTINGUISHED GoDMoTnERs. Queen
Victoria has lately paid very unusual honor
to little subject of hers by, in person, staEd'
ING sponsor to him. The infant thus .distin'
guished is the Earl of Burford a direct dcscen,,
dant of Nell Gwynne, being the eldest son OF
the Duke OF St. Adams by the daughter OF the
Queens late valued friend and Secretay, Gen.
Grew. The boy was born under very melan'
choiy circumstances, for his grandm other lay
diving in an adjoining room. The other god,
mother is lad as popular, and almost as we'll
known as the Queen-Nliss Burdett Couttss,
and it may be added, one whose sponsorship Is
likely to have more solid result.

TURNER STATISTICS. There are one hundred
and iifty six Turn Vereine or associations OF
Turner'S 10 the United States, with 1920 mem
bers. OF these only 1850 are actively epgag-
ed 10 gymnastio exercises, willis. the others
merely belong to the society as passive mem
bers, who represent the other clements con-
neoted with turning, such as socability, patr-
otism and elevation of scientific culture within
the society. The Germans habitualy count SIX
millions as the minimum number OF their coun'
trymen in the United States. This would give
one Turner to every six hundred Germans;
But, inasmuch as the most numerous Turn We:
refine, are in the cities, the proportion is about
one turner to seventy or eighty lnhabltants OF
markabIy high rate in favor OF these societies.

A MYSTERY SoLvED.-The mystery of the
huge foot prints seen in the sand at Babble
Creek, Caledonia, bas at last been solved,
and Iaughable solution it is. 1t seems that
McNaughton, the song writer, was tormented
with mischievous boys depredatiug in the woods
and making it vocal with unusual music. By
comica ruse he got rid Of them. He mould
ed in the sand giant foot prints two feet in
length and PAGES eight feet apart as if entering
the thioket. The next day the whole neigh
borhood vas gathering in hot haste to see
the steps of live Cardiff" the boys tremb
lingly clutchiug their fathers hands ana
mothers nervously pressing their babies to their
bosoms. One glance at the hugo toot;ma Inss
and the long pace pes Hsr ,ean 4ro WAS WAS
enough A putting stampede away ot tbom and
daughters hurrying home, and furtivey glanc-
3 ing back to see if pursued by the giant OF the
thicket!

Reunion Music.


Some few weeks since, notice was
given through the daily papers OF
the musical project connected with
the Soldiers Reunion.
The harvesting well advanced; the
excessive heat also having passed,
we can now concentrate all our ener-
gies to aid in the success of this fast
approaching, once in a life time event.
AS Americans, We are to prone to
trust to chance, and the efforts of our
foreign citizens for thesuccess of such
TESTS, but as citizens Of Des Moines
particularly, and Of Iowa generally,
let us unite for once, men, women,
and children, native and foreign, in
one grand chorus, that shall make
the hills re-echo.
All the varieties of programme
can be fixed when we come together;
and all those who have heard or have
read Of the grand TESTS along the
Rhine, and throughout Germany,
Switzerland, &C., as well as in New
York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and
other cities of this country, where
every one makes it an individual
interest-and where every Saenger-
bund, Mannerchor, &C., feels ma
tional pride, all can form some idea
of the SCI, naasse" pleasure, and can
exert themselves in like manner for
this great jubilee.
Do not therefore say Il can't sing
and therefore ana not needed. Yes,
you are, every one, scientific and
amateur, you all know the national
and popular airs that will be sung;
no scientific display is contemplated,
but a whole souled, jubilee rejoicing,
where every one can sing, shout or
whistle. Come then, everybody.
All bands, societies, or clubs contem-
plating being present, will please
practice the national airs, "Hail
Columbia" "Star Spangled Banner. :"
and also the popular airs, "Tramp,
Tramp" "Battle cry of freedom"
"Johnny comes Marching Home,"
&C., in strict time, and they, together
with several drum corps, will please
notify me on their arrival in the city,
