sW John Deboos, formerly citizen of
this county, writing to the Arena Star,
from Biglow, Mobiles county, Mimi, under
date of July 10, 1877 4, says:
The grasshoppers are making heavy
raid on US, and have already taken about
half our crops. If they stay with us a
few days more they will clean our county
as bare as floor. We have more hoppers
this year than last, ten to one, and if they
deposit their eggs here this season woe to
this country next season. 1t is indeed
heartrending to be cleaned out two years
in succession. Many of our people are
talking of leaving the country, but many,
most of them, have not dollar to leave
with Many arc in debt and have large
families to look after. 1t is going to be
hard to live here through the winter, but
J--and propose to stick it out as
long as there is any thing left at all.
/ went to Worthington yesterday, and
upon meeting persons found myself accos-
ted, not, good morning." but swell, how
much damage is being done by the grass
hoppers at Biglow, and what are you 60
ing to do" | never saw so many down
hearted men in one day as did yesterday.
They all looked "blue'.
And now if the Changers want to show
their liberality now is the time to display
it. not only in this State, but in Iowa.
We have at present seven counties to be
taken care of, and northwes tern Iowa is
catching it pretty lively. The Governor
has called on the State Grange for relief,
aud st. Paul has donated $4,000 to help
the homcsteaders for the present. until the
grangers can make their contributions. And
if they respond as literally as the Iowa state
Grange did last year for the relief of
northwestern Iowa, shall have some faith
in their organization.

Large Settlement Of County Bonds.

Large Settlement Of County Bonds.
The Iowa county Fund Commissioners
have within the past week completed the
settlement of $165,077.69 of the railroad
bond claims against the county, using for
the purpose nearly all of the 500, 900 late
ly borrowed from the State, the claims
being settled at sixty cents on the
dollar. The claims paid included those
of Hon. Luther Beecher and Hon. Matti H.
Carpenter. This makes a total of
s37S $1,000 Of claims which have
been paid off by the fund Commits
sioners since the first of last; March,
the Commissioners having heretofore paid
off $2ls,
The Fund Commissioners have several
thousand dollars on hand, and there is yet
$4,000 due them from the county on de-
linquent taxes of last years assessment,
and it is thought that an additional loan
of perhaps $4,000 from the State will be
sufficient to finish the business.
Considering the predictions of some of
those supposed to be best posted in regard
to these bond matters, last spring, that the
county was but entering on its troubles in
connection with them, and that the Fund
Commissioners would shortly find them
selves involved in endless litigation with
the bondholders, or, even leaving all that |
out of the question and considering merely |
the difficulties with which the Fund Com
missioners have actually had to contend, the
county is certainly to be congratulated on
the manner in which the settlements are

A QUAKER PRINTERS PROVERBS. New
er send an article for publication without
giving the editor thy name, for thy name
oftontimes secures publication to worth
less articles.
Thou shouldst not rap at the door of a
printing office; for he that answereth the
rap sneereth in his sleeve and loseth time.
Never do thou loaf about, nor knock
down the type, or the boys will love thee
as they do the shade trees-when thou
leavest.
Thou shouldst never read the copy on
the printers case or the sharp and hooked
container thereof, or he may knock thee
down.
Never inquire OF the editor for news, for
behold 1t is his business to give 1t to thee
at the appointed time without asking for
1t.
II is not right that you shouldst ask him
who is the author Of an article, for it is his
duty to keep such things unto himself
When thou dost enter his office, taxi
heed unto thyself that thou dost not look
at what may concern thee not, for that is
not meet in the sight Of good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof sheet,
for it is not ready TO meet thine eyes, thou

WILLING TO OBLIGE.-A very prepos-

look at it, even il you don't buy. should
like to have you read some portions of 1t

broker took the volume and glancing at
the title-page, commenced perusal of the
introduction. This finished, he began at
the first chapter and read carefully and
leisurely along. 1t was about 8 o'clock
when he commenced, and an hour passed
silently away. Then the book agent began
10 exhibit signs Of nervousness, which
were apparently unnoted by the broker,
for he never raised his eyes from the vol
ume, but read steadily ON. Eleven o'clock
came, and the lady began to walk rather
smartly about the room, glancing OCCASION
ly out Of the windows. At noon the brok-
or was still reading, and the agent wore a
decidedly troubled countensnce. A few
minutes before o'clock the broker laid
the book down, leisurely donned his over
coat and hat, and remarked blandly, "That
is very good book. I am sorry that can
not read moro of it, but I am obliged to go
to,dinner. If you will call in this afternoon,
1 will read some more of it."

The Centennial Exposition.

An immense building is now in process
Of erection in Paramount Park, Philadel-
phia, for the International Exhibition in
connection with the National Centennial
in 1879. The building is chiefly of iron
and glass. 1t is In the form of parallelo-
gram l,6Ss feet in length and AGA feet in
width. The main portion is one story in
height and covers nearly Is acres. This
will be increased by second floer projec-
tons, towers, etc., to total of nearly 10
acres. The central avenue is l,640 feet in
length, and the central towers rise to a
height of 100 feet.
The Exhibition, which Is under the d.
rection of the National Centennial Commits
sion, appointed by act of Congress in 1871,
with Mr.. A. T. Goshorn as Director-Gen-
ersl, will open on the 10Th Of April, 1875, and
close on the 10Th of October. Its design is
q complete array of the arts, manufacture
and products of the soil and mine. The
classification of contents will be in ten de-
partments, as follows: 1. Raw materials;
II. Materials and manufactures resulting
from extractive or combining processes
III, Textile and felted fabrics; ". Furn-
iture and manufactures relating to dwell
ings; v. Tools, implements, machines
and processes; VI. Motors and Transport
tation; VII. Educational apparatus and
methods; VIII. Engineering, public
works, etc. TX. Plastic and graphic arts I;
X. Objects illustrative of efforts for the
improvement of the physical, intellectual
and moral condition CT man.
The arrangement OF products will he on
what is known as the dual system that is,
the departments will occupy parallel zones
lengthwise of the building; but countries
and States will occupy similar parallel
zones crosswise OF the building, with pas
ssge-ways distinctly separating each so
that any visitor or studentdssiring to com
pare products Of the same kind from diff
ferent parts of the world, may do so by
passing through the building lengthwise,
keeping in the zone devoted to the partie-
ular department or any one desiring to
examine only the products exhibited by
any particular country or State, may do so
by passing through the building crosswise,
in the zone devoted to the particular coun-
try or State. The department of art will
occupy a spacious and elegant building of
its own, to the northward of the main
