AN OPPORTUNE BUG.
Chicago Tribune.

One Of our merchants has received
letter from a correspondent IN Ne
braska containing information which, if
true, must prove gratifying. 1t is to
the effect that, though the grasshoppers
have developed in that locality by my
riads, there Is an active enemy preying
on them IN the form of a small red
bug, of a description not hitherto seen.
This bug attacks The grasshoppers in
bulk, and destroys all it attacks. If
this be true, and the bug become gen.
eral in the grasshopper districts, then
its appearance will be welcomed. That
bug ought to be cultivated, that it may
prove the deliyerer Of the country from
the threatened plague

nor, as a general thing, get up In the

among the Changers Of Michigan. The

retaliates by charging that the higher

Vim. +. Gill & Co., Isl Washington

peachment of the House of Brunswick, -
by Charles Bradlaugh. This work COM
prises Mr.. Bradlaugh's famous lecture on
the same subject, which elected such ex-
traordinary commentator when delivered
throughout the United States last season.
The book affords the writer much fuller
opportunity for the development of his
powerful attack upon the royal family of
England, than was possible within the linn
its of lecture. The work has an histori-
cal interest aside from its political import
ance, and as literary curiosity presents
unique and engaging attractions.
Opinions of Wendell Phillips and
Charles Sumner.
or the lecture which forms tie basis of this book
Wendell Phillips writes:-
heard Mr. Bradlaugh the first time he spoke in
Boston. What Mr., Sumner. who sat near me- said
of that lecture, will deservedly have more influence
Bradlaugh was speaking Sumner looked to mt, and
said This is very fine" At the close of the lee

For a considerable time past rumors
have been afoat regarding the cratic
wanderjngs of the Rev, j. r. Stilwell, OF
the west side Tabernacle, among the flock
oyer which he has so long been the con
trolling power. 1t was considered best
for all parties concerned fnot to make pub
lie anything in regard to the matter until
such time as an investigation could be had,
and thus determine just how far Mr.. Still.
we'll had gone in his nefarious conduct.
The charges made against him we're for
improper CELEBRITIES taken with several
lady members of the charch, but the one
upon which the Investigation was made
was improper advances made toward lady
who was not a member of the church over
which Mr.. Stilwell presided Yesterday a
meeting of the official members of the
Tabernacle was held in the residence OF
James Jackson, of the West Side, and
upon the allegations being made known,
Mr.. Stilwell made a statement confessing
that be had been guilty of these indiscre-
tons, but pleading extenuating circum-
stances. and resigned his pastorate on the
spot. Of course this settled the matter,
aud the next duty of the officers was to
find some person to take the place of the
erring pastor, which they did by appoint
ing the Rev j. NJ Chafin to fill the va
cancy Mr. Stilwell left Immediately after
for Indianapolis, whittier he goes TO make
preparations for the removal of his grief
stricken family,
This revelation is sad indeed, coming as
it does in the midst of most successful
revival, in which many accessions were be-

issued book called "MLISS, an Idyl Of

is not by Bret Harte, at all. and Mr. Harte
sued Dewitt and got an order from the
court forbidding him using his name in con

passing Champions book store Friday
Mr. Harte' attention was attracted to pla-
card in front of the store which reads as
follows: Bret Harte's New Novel,
Miss, story of California in 1863"
Annoyed to find this man Dewitt still
using his name to sell the trash, he walk
ed in and purchased copy aud procured
also copy of the placard and sent both to
bis lawyer in New York to see if the man
cannot be made to cease injuring him by
selling such trash under his name Dewitt
has taken Hartes name out of the little
page. but still he sends out placards to de-
ceive the public and injure Mr.. Harte. |.
is not only fraud upon Mr.. Harte bu,
upon the public generally,
