Tt seems that we are not to be touch
ed by the comet 5 tail. 1t is a matter
Of Indifference to most people, since
the tail, not understanding it's immense
size, would not have power enough to
switch off a mosquito OF a horse fly,
if it should strike the earth. Prof.
P;,rkllurst, III the New York Tribune,
shows how narrowly we escape 10y the
following illustration:
a tall man, having an Inlia-rubber
club two feet long, and three inches in
diameter 1T the end, sees a spider run
ming very rapidly across table. lie
RAISES his club aloft at arms length, and
brings it down with q terrible blow
He aims for point two feet in advance
Of the spider. SO as to allow for its mo-
ton, and strikes very nearly the point
which, the spider would have reached
when the club struck the table but in
consequence Of the club bending a lit
tie more than he anticipated, the spider
escapes by one inch. This is an approx
innate representation on a small scale,
of what will take place within the next
two weeks, with two exceptions. In
the first place, the club, instead of be-
ing Of rubber, is of such attenuated
material that if the spider were hit he
would not know it and secondly COM
mon spider would be many thousand
times too large to represent tile earth.
Perhaps should add third, that the
size of the club is only known from es-
Inmates, since it may increase in thick
ness during the blow.

THE RELIEF.

AS stated in our last issue, the Ram
sey County Commissioners promptly vo-
ted $1,000 for the relief of the destitute.
Gov. Davis also went before the Hen
nepin County Commissioners and urged
upon them the necessity Of promptly
voting aid, but they have refused to
do so. One of the st. Paul banks
promptly accepted 81, 600 worth of No.
bles county orders at par and the
money was paid to our County Auditor,
and has been mainly expended in pur-
chasing food. There are from 80 to 100
families in this county who will need
aid. The Relief Committee are now is
suing flour and pork.

HANDS WANTED.

We published last week the call for
400 or 500 hands in Freedom county,
and for several hundred about Cottage
Grove, just below st. Paul. We notice
further a letter from Chatfield, in Fill
more county, saying that crops are
good there and that from 800 to 400 men
can find employment at good wages
An item in the Minneapolis Tribune
also says there is quite a demand for
farm hands about Atwater, OH the st.
Paul & Pacific railroad. Wages there
are from $3.50 to $500 day during
harvest. Good stackers command So, 90
to 50, 80 after harvest.
We learn also that Mr.. Slough, of
the Okabena House, has received letters
from LIE Mars. requesting him to direct
harvest hands there for work.

The departure OF the grasshopporS,
mentioned in last weeks paper, seems
to have been final. There are few left
in this and the surrounding counties
and We are 1T length relieved of them,
let us hope forever. They left before de-
posting theireg SO that unless there
is al invasion next year. we need not
fear them. We learn, however, that
they are still in Brown county in con-
siderable numbers and are depositing
their eggs. On Friday of last week
they were flying over Sioux City in
great numbers and flying high. by
this time they must lie several hundred
miles southwest Of us and are doubt
less too far to return this year.
Now that they are gone, and the
smoke Of the battle has cleared away,
we call count up the killed and wound
ed. Their ravages have been greatest
III Watonwan and Martin counties in
this state and in Emmett county, Iowa,
three counties extending in line north
and south. They extended over the
greater portion of Southwestern Min
nesota and Northwestern Iowa. The
st. Paul Press estimates the damage
done to crops in Minnesota at over
So ,000,W0. We have conversed with Il
number of farmers during the week,
; and they estimate the losses variously,
some saying one-fourth, others one
third, and others still one-fourth of the
crop. This county suffered severely III
the townships of Hersey, Graham
Lakes and Seward. The rest of the
county escaped with but a partial loss.
In the region tributary to Worthing
ton, the destruction will not amount
to more than one-fourtll OF one-thirt]
Of the crop. Taking the whole Of No
bles county, there is scarcely any one
who estimates the loss at more than
one-half, while the more general esti
mate is one-fourth or one-third. III
Rock county and in Dakota west Of us
all Of which is tributary to WOrthing
ton, the crops have scarcely been touch
ed by the gra5shoppers andare in splen
did condition.
We think it safe, therefore, to say
that in this county, if there are nc
further drawbacks, the crops raised
this year will be nearly double that Of
! last wear. while the counties west of us
will pour into our warehouses mucl
greater quantity of grain than we have
ever before handled. At present tht
crops are suffering somewhat for rain
but the prospect now is good, and W.
think it safe to predict the liveliest bu
siness in Worthington the coming fal
| which has ever been known
