Mr.. D. G. HILL, Of this city, took
trip last week to St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Mankato, Faribault, and some other little
up-river cities, and after looking them all
over came to the very sensible conclusion
that Red Wing is, at present. the best place
in the State for remaining or engaging in
business. The only trouble with St. Paul
and Minneapolis is that they are too near
here, there is danger of their being swal-
lowed up by their new rival.

Size Of the Whale.

The sperm whale attains a very great
size. The measure of a whale in whal-
ing parlance is indicated by the number
of barrels of oil it will make. Ask any
old whaling captain of forty years ex-
perience how long is the longest sperm
whale and he will strive to answer the
question by estimating the known pro-
portions of his ship. Let me see.
From just forrard of the main sWifter,
well, say forty-ive feet, and you have
his eye allow one-third for the head
and you have seventy-twO. Well, now,
seventv-tWO feet is q long whale but I
never measured one.'' The largest
whale we took made 10Y barrels. Its
length was seventy-nine feet from the
nose to the bunch of the neck, twenty
six feet thence to the hump, twenty
nine feet from hump to tail, seventeen
feet 4; length of tail, sixteen feet six
inches height at forehead, eleven fe ct;
width, nine feet six inches at junction
of tail, seven feet nine inches lower
Jaw, sixteen feet long and fOrty-One
inches in circumference at thick part.
It had fifty-one teeth, the heaviest
weighing twenty-five ounces. Blubber

/ largest yielding 1877 barrels. The head
of this made fifty-three barrels, and the

New Bedford, took on the off-shore
ground a sperm whale that slowed 145

GrasshODper Surgery.


Grace Greenwood, in writing from
Colorado, says it was expected that We
should have a fine exhibition of farm
and garden products, but man pro-
poses and the grasshopper diaposes. ?"
He has disposed of everything green,
and now, as though acting on the scrip
tural assertion that sc all flesh is grass"
has taken to RECALLING himself on his
brother hopper. it is shocking to dis
cover what remorseless cannibals these
small creatures are. IF one becomes
disabled in the slightest degree, his
friends and relatives rally around him
in his extremity, and generally help
themselves to whatever Is eatable. They
generally go first for the brain, as the
morsel, cunningly abstracting it from
its cells; and yet he somehow lives On
for time, and hardly seems to miss
that rather important organ. The
younger ones seem the most voracious
and Fapacious, but, while they make
fatal charge, stout, grave-looking elders
will stand about, Watching their old
friends demise, evidently specializing
as to how he will Sc cut up" They are
in no haste, but are always in at the
| death. The other day I whiled away
half-hour in one of the summer-houses
near the springs in Watching Che pro-
! ceedings of a set of these small rufians
| toward a disabled comrade. He had
/ lost a leg-how I need not state.
! "Thou canst not say did it"-though,
/ if for the sake of scientific investiga-
| ton brought myself to perform that
/ little surgical operation, what harm ?
It is surprising to see how easily a
grasshopper's leg is detached. 1t seems
always to be a sort of semi-detached
member. The creature don't seem to
mind the loss much, and viii go on eat
ing as though grasshoppers' legs "grew
on every bush" This one evidently
did not realize his misfortune till he was
attacked, and found he could neither
walk nor fly. How he was beset, to be
sure First, a brisk young fellow, with
the cool, business air of a surgeon, be-
gan tapping his rather distended stom-
ach another probed him about the
Joint whence the leg had been removed ;
a third set himself to dissect the ampu-
tated limb. One slim starYeling began
browsing on the delicate tips of his
long wings then big bustling old
wretch stepped forward and interviewed
him, by deliberately boring into his
brain next yellow jacket settled on
him and stung and sucked here and
there, while, to add insult to injury,
two spiteful black ants pierced through
the joints of his cuirass and worked
their way into his vitals. He fought
bravely-it was astonishing to see how
pluckiIy he stood up against his fierce
assailants, like miniature Moulton.
He kicked furiously with his one sound
hind leg "against the pricks" of the
wasp. He struck out and gesticuIated
wildly with his arms or fore-legs-his
= L i
fance-but the great congregation of
his foes was too much for him, though
he did not cease to struggle while any
thing remained to struggle with. They
did not leave him till he was reduced
to the mere shell of q grasshOpper.
