Fighting the 'Hoppers--HOw "A Wife
Saved Her Husbands Crops.
From the Mankato UniOn.)

We are every day more and more con-
vinced that fighting grasshoppers can be
made success. Mr.. X. d. Hubbard
put in last spring nearly 800 acres of
wheat and other small grain on his farm
in the worst infested part Of Garden City.
lie spent about five hundred dollars in
fighting the 'hoppers. He estimates that
he has now about $4,000 worth of crops
ready to harvest.
In the town of South Bend. farmer
had so acres of wheat, and the pests
Matched out all through it and around it.
He gave it up for lost. Not so his wife.
She bought four sheets, sewed them into
sacks and told her husband to rig them
onto the one horse wagon. He did so
then she left a girl in the house to do
the work, hitched her own horse, which
was gift from her father, to the wagon
and drove him on a brisk trot back and
forth across the grain. She caught all
the hoppers off the wheat and then
caught them off the prairie adjoining it.
All she asked Of her husband was to bury
them as fast as she caught them and
emDtied them into sacks. She saved the
wheat and it is now ready for the reaper.
The pluck shown by this lady would have
enabled thousands of farmers to save
their crops. We are more than ever sat
isfied that fighting grasshoppers can be
made success.

The Cruelty of an English Butcher.

lPall Mall Gazette
1t would be difficult to imagine a more
disgusting case of cruelty to ANIMALS
than one which came before the macis.
tretes at the Newcastle. under.Lyme 20.
lice Court on Wednesday, when iour.
neyman butcher named James Heath
was charged with cruelty ill.treating a
sheep by partly sklnning it alive. II
seems that on the 25th ult., a police Off.
Ger, when passing slaughter house
where Heath was employed, had his at.
tention attracted to the place by the
sound of stifcd groans of some animal.
On looking inside dreadful spectacle
met his eye. The defendant was oper-
ating upon sheep which had been ain
etfectualiy stuck" He had removed the
skin from one Of the forelegs, the should.
er and the neck. and the foot.ioint was
cut through and broken off. The
wretched animal was seen to raise itself
and turn its head towards its tormenter.
This mute appeal for mercy failed to
touch his heart, and for seven or eight
minutes the sheep struggled while the de.
iendant still went on, when the police-of.
iicer, probably thinking that its agonies
had been sufficiently prolonged, stopped
him. The magistrates said the case was
a very shocking one, add that such cruel
ty must be put down by the "strong arm
of the law" They therefore fined
Heath 40 shillings and costs, or in default
sentenced him to one months imprison-
ment. This seems to be all the punish.
ment that the ''strong arm Of the law''
can intict for an act Of almost incredible
brutality. If Heath were partially fay.
ed alive by the cato -nine.tais, welded
by the "strong arm" of prison warden,
his case would doubtless excite more SYM
pathy than that of the sheep he tortured,
but his suferings would be slight com.
pared with those of his blameless victim

One of the most effective weapons of 0'Con-
nell was his wit, which was always At his COM
mand. There are hundreds of stories detail
ing instances OF his power in this respect. One
of these Is story where the victim was Dr.
Russell, known in this country as "Bull Run
Russell" the famous correspondent of the
London Times. On one occasion W hen O'Con-
nell was to address monster meeting in Ire
land, Russell was sent over by the Times to
report O'Conhell's speech, the purpose being
TO get evidence that could I've used against him
in case he should utter language capable of
being interpreted as seditious. BY 0'Connell's
advice Russell was provided with every posi-
bic facility tor his work. He was assigned a
seat near O'Connell where he could hear
every word. 0'Connell, before beginning
his speech, informed the thousands OF people
present that there was very aAe EngliShman
present, who came all the way from England
to report his speech that il was TO he printed
in the London Times, and that the gentleman
was very DESTROYS to get an accurate report, so
that he could swear TO it il necessary. He
therefore appealed to the Irish present TO be
quiet and orderly to make no noise, and to do
nothing that could disturb the English gentle
man, or cause him to lose word OF the speech
which he was 10 swear During these re-
marks he pointed out Mr.. Russell personally,
who was placed so conspicuously as to be
easily seen by all Then, turning to Mr.. Rus
sell, he asked him ii there was anything he
needed, If he was comfortably seated,
ii his pens were in order, and if he
were ready to begin. BY this time
Russell had become the most interesting and
conspicuous man in the crowd. Again APP
pealing to the crowd 10 become quiet and let
the gentleman get such report as he could
swear 10, he informed Russell that he was
about to begin. Russell dipped his pen in ink
and O'Connell began his oration-in Irish :
The multitude saw the joke. aud Russell was
he was laughed at. At intervals O'Connell
would appeal in English to the crowd to be ST.
lent, as the English gentleman did not seem to
get along very well, and would not be able to
swear TO the accuracy of the report Ever mo-
ment made Russel's position more painful,
until at last, mortified and Inundated at the
exposure OF the real purpose of his visit, aud
NJ its detea', he rose from his seat, left the
meeting, aud Quilted Ireland.

Discovery and Arrest OF a Murderer.
st. Louis Telegram, Aug. It'll


A year ago last January, andrew Eek.
man, an old and wealthy farmer of French
village, in Illinois, was shot dead while
passing through piece Of timber, about
dusk one evening, almost within sight of
his home. He had been to this city with
load Of grain, and had about $500 with
him, which the murderer obtained. From
that time until very recently there has
been no clue to the perpetrator of the
crime. A few days ago, however. St.
Louis detective became acquainted with
a woman named Harriet Saunders, now
living here. In confidence she told the
officer that at the time of the murder she
was living in French village, and was be-
ing courted by man named Frank Leon
ard. alias Linung On the morning of
the murder, Leonard quit work, came to
her house, and told her he was going to
Chester. In ten days he returned, and
the woman. al venture, bluntly asked
him why he had murdered Eckman. He
made no reply, but, she says, hung his
head and cried Then she asked him
about the money, and he pulled out
roll of over $500. Following this he
made partial con fession to the woman
and then disappeared. The woman kept
the secret until a few days ago. Since
then detectives have been Oh Leonard's
track. He was finally captured last
night at Kaneviilc, small town in
Wayne county, Southern Illinois. His
story, after various contradictions, con-
firms, to a certain extent, that of the
woman, and the evidence against him Is
considered strong.

FIowering OF Night blooming
Cereus.

An interesting event took place one
night last week, at the nursery Of Mr.
Fleischer, in st. Paul - the Towering
of night blooming cereus or cactus
grdndiforuS, queen Of the night. This
specimen of this rare flower is five wears
old, and this is the first time it has bloom.
ed For several days past it has been ev.
ident that it was about to blossom,
a process that actually commenced
at about O'Clock last evening. At this
time the bud was about five inches IN
length and an inch and half in diameter.
At II O'Clock the flower was in full bloom,
and measured about Is inches in diam.
cter. 1t remained in this condition about
an hour, when the petals began to close
up, and at o'clock this morning the bud
was in the same condition as at o'clock
the night before.
Mr.. Fleischer having informed some OF
his friends Of the anticipated event, large
numbers commenced to arrive at his
place early in the evening, the arrivals
continuing until after midnight. The to-
tai number present was estimated at fully
five hundred, many of whom stayed until
the petals had begun to close up, the
opening out and closing up being so rapid
as to be easily observable.
The flower was pure white, except a
slight yellow tinge near the juncture Of
the petals with the stem. When it first
began to open, it diffused no fragrance,
but when fully opened it gave forth a
strong, rich. perfume, something Tesem.
bling a thoroughly ripe pine apple.
Mr.. Fleischer Of course feels greatly
elated at the successful Towering of pet
ne has Satchcd and tended so long and
carefully. and the large number SO fortu-
nate as to be present at the full Tuition
of his hopes are especially grateful for
the pleasure thus afforded them.

The Connecticut Eartbouahe.

Connecticut papers devote considerable
space to the earthquake shock which was
felt in portions Of that State about four
o clock Wednesday morning, July 28th.
The Hartford COurant says that it was
felt in various parts Of that city, and by
numerous individuals, many cf whom
were aroused from their Slumbers by it.,
though at the time it is doubtful if many
supposed that the real cause was a dis
turbance under ground Early in the
forenoon reports were received from ether
parts Of the State, chiefly from towns
west Of Hartford, as far as Canaan, show
ing that an earthquake had taken place,
the effect upon buildings and contents
in many cases being so decisive as
to leave the matter in no
doubt whatever. One gentleman in
Hartford, who was awakened by the
shock, reports that it was the most severe
that he had ever felt, though how many
he has felt we are not told. A lady who
came to Hartford from Winsted said that
she felt the shock,and did not know what
it was. She was at first greatly frightcn.

The Hartford Post has kilograms Civ.
inE more details, from which it appears
that at Collinsvile the shaking lasted
about fifteen seconds. Windows were
shaken, dishes and lamps ratified, and
many people sprang from their beds in
terror. There was low rumbling noise,
with considerable vibration such as might
result from the explosion of heavy blast
near by. At Winsted the sound
approached from the north a
little before o'clock, with a rumbling,
gradually increasing noise. and retreat
ing in reverse manner to the south. Ii
was as loud as an ordinary clap of thun.
der. and its force was sufficient to shake
windows, shut and open doors, move
loose articles and considerably alarm
many people. At New Hartford the
shock was accompanied by a rumbling
noise as of a heavy wagon proceeding
over a rocky roadway. Windows ratified,
and houses were shaken so as to awaken
the occupants. In one house a number
Of pickle jars on shelf were broken. A
hatcher who was out in his yard at the
time of the earthquake describes the
noise as resemblinga heavy blast or large
wall falling. At Canaan the vibra.
ton of the earth seemed continu
Gus rather than in distinct shocks.
No property was injured, but many
people were awakened by the Earring OF
the houses and the rafting of windows
and crockery. At Ltchfeld the shock
came at 4:0S. At first low rumblng
sound was beard, which was accompanied
with a heavy tremOr running through
the ground, Dishes were ratified on the
shelves, the windows shook, and many
houses swayed as if about to fall. Many
persons were awakened from sound sleep.
and great alarm was felt. One family
was so frightened that they fed from the
house in alarm. The shock was also felt
in Waterbury, Morris, Sandisfield, Mass,
Winchester Centre, Wolcotville, and over
an area Of several hundred square miles
IN the northwestern part of the State.
which is a mountainous district. Per.
sons in Simsbury report nothing Of the
kind, and it is probable no shocks were
felt so fer to the eastward.
