We bespcak for our foreign visitor a gol-
den welcome, not only on account of respect
for the nerve involved in making such a
singular and risky venture; and the un-
doubted magnitude, elegance and propriety
of the exhibition, but because rare good
faith is demonstrated in the emphatic dis
carding of the museum trash, largely
employed by other shows to swindle the
people and give prepostcrous idea of their
size and attractions. Our new candidate
for arenic recognition sticks bravely and
squarely in It's announcement text to the

the ones we really go to see and enjoy, and
beyond which lie the realms of fraud

struct and delight, but the feature of the
gigantic performing rhinoceros, 'IIimalya,

to seek the great double pavilions Of the

The potato bug is not the only pest the
farmers of Eastern Pennsylvania have to
fight, this year the cut-worm is exceed
ingly abundant, and is destroying the
young corn as fast as it comes up, being
more than usually destructive Tomatoes,
cabbages and other young plants are also
attacked by it. Large fields of corn, planted
in May, have now to be replanted, and
fortunately, it is not yet too late to do that.
Cut-worms have been present in the soil Of
this region from time immemorial, so that
this is no new visitation but they seem to
be about ten times more numerous this year
than formerly. As they burrow in the
ground, and come up to feed mainly in the
night, 1t is hard to get at them, and there
Is no application known of at present that
will insure their destruction. Many Il far
mer would be glad, just now, to know Of
something as fatal to this pest as Paris

The Laws DELAY.

lFrom the Harrisburg Telegraph
y case from Blair county has just been
decided by the Supreme Court which
illustrates to an alarming degree the un-
certainty and delay of the law. One Far
rell sold tract of coal land to Lloyd in
1854 for six thousand dollars-one thou
sand paid at time of deed, on the 1st Of
July, 1884, and the balance of the Sc. 900
secured By judgment notes payable in two
and three years. When these came due
Lloyd refused to pay because Of an alleged
defect IN the title to the extent Of two
thirds, that quantity of the coal tract hay
ing been recovered from him by reason Of
defect in Farrcll's title. On the trial Of
the issue raised on the first judgment note,
Farrell proved that Lloyd bought the land
at his own risk and on this he recovered
full amount claimed. Lloyd took the case
to the Supreme Court, and they reversed
the court below because Of error in admit
ting testimony to contradict the written
papers. The case was again tried before
Jury, and the court, following the supposed
rule Of the Supreme Court, directed the
jury to render a verdict for the defendant.
Lloyd, which they did, and then Farrell
took the case to the Supreme Court. That
tribunal reversed the court below the second
time because they said the case should have
been given to the jury. 1t was, therefore,
the third time tried, and a verdict rendered
in favor of the plaintiff, Farrell, when
Lloyd again took the case to the Supreme
Court, where it was argued last month by
IS. S. Blair, Of Blair county, for Lloyd.
and by l.. w. Hall, of this city, for Far
rell, and the court this week decided it in
favor Of Farrell, which is the end Of it.
Twenty years have passed since the contro-
vcrsy began, and the five Thousand dollars
due in the beginning has swellcd to twelve
thousand now. All the original parties to
the case arc dead except the lawyers, and
they have no doubt acattcd for their fees.
Oh for the laws delay.

The fair and respectful manner in which
the Republican State nominations have
been received by the Democratic and other
opposition newspapers is a subject for gen
eral congratulation. Both Governor Hart
ranft and Mr. Rawle are gentlemen of ac
knowledged ability and personal worth
and the Governor has been especially dis,
tinguishcd by his public services during
the last fifteen years, These facts are
freely recognized by most Of the journals
of opposite politics, and thus far we have
not observed single attempt i'll any re
spectacle quarter to assail their personal
reputation This is step forward in poll,
tics which we look upon with particular
gratifcation-the more so because it comes
from that side to which we are directly
opposed on many public questions. When
the time arrives for the discussion of the
Democratic nominations we hope to see at
least equal liberality shown by the Republi-
can papers The Democratic candidates
we may be sure, will not be rascals OF
thieves, and we shall have nothing to gain
by personal assaults upon them. We never
expect to see political millennium, but
we do look for time when our election
campaigns will be conducted with reference
to the public issues involved, instead Of the
personal antagonisms of the day. LIN this
view Of the case we regard the reception
Of the Lancaster nominations by the Demo,
