The Grasshopper.

ST. PAUL, July 29.-Thc terrible de-
vastation Of grasshoppers on the north
western, westernSand southwestern
borders of this State has not been be-
for alluded to in these dispatches
The damage done by these pests is in
calcuabel, but the amount of crops de-
stroyed is so far inconsiderable, coun-
ted as whole, although hundreds OF
industrious, hardworking settlers, have
lost their all and have nothing to live
on. The Pioneer Press of to-day says
that the greater part of the region west
of and including Jackson county to
Eastern Dakota, and south through
Western Iowa is covered with the des
vouring pests. and our reports indi-
cate that entire crops of the region
are being swept away and that many
of the discouraged settlers are tempo
rally leaving.

A curious phase of the labor conflict
is presented in New York. Thousands
of deserving men are suffering through
enforced idleness. and yesterday a
mass meeting of the unemployed was
held for the purpose Of uniting in an
earnest address to the authorities ask
ing for work. Almost at the saroe
hour the longshoremen on the west
side "struck." and abandoned their
work, being dissatisfied with their
wages.
The Banking and Currency Com
mittee met again yesterday, but took
no action in regard to the repeal of
the Resumption act. Mr.. Cox was
present, but Mr.. Goode of Virginia,
was absent, yet the hard-money men
were still in the majority, therefore
the repeal resolution was not adopted.
1t is now proposed to refer the ques>
tion to subcommittee for considera-
ton during the recess of Congress.

RUBBER and CAPCINE.

extensive use of Ordinary Persoi ated or Por-
GUS Plasters, is testimony to its merit.
The only objection ever found with the or
binary Rubber Porous Plaster is that it acts
too siow!y-requiring days and continuous
wear to relieve pain or to effect cure.
A celebrated Physician Of New York. who
has long made the medical properties of Ruh

SOME BOTTOM FACT,

LITTLE JOHNNY DAvENPoRr's JOB
WHOLESALE FRAUD IN NKw YORK.
Special Dispatch to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-Thc COM
mittee on expenditures in the Depart,
ment of Justice will be ready to pre-
Mt their report to the House to NOR
row or the next day. The part relat
ing to the use of the secretT service
fund for political purpose. in New
York city is quite voluminous. 1t
shows. conclusively from the evidence
taken in New York that Johnny Dew.
enport in endeavorins to furnish vouch
ers for the money of the secret service
fund turned over to him by order of
the President used receipted bills
which had been paid by the commit.
tee OF seventy and others paid by prt
vate contributions from prominent
politicians; the testimony of Albert
Curry is quoted, to show the loose
manner in which the secrtet-service
money was accounted for by Colonel
Whitley. 1t was quite customary, ac-
cording to Cnrry, to pay local politi-
clans out OF it who rendered no service
to the government. Moreover, when
certain parties came from Washington
and elsewhere, who were useful to
Whitley and Babcock, they were en-
tertained in various ways and the bills
paid out of the secret service money.
In conclusion, the committee show
that the use of the secret-service
money by Davenport was an illegal
diversion of funds from the purpose
for which it was. appropriated, and
that in ordering the money to be paid
over to Daveport, the President was
guilty of violation of law. There
was appropriation in terms to pay all
legal expenses attending the execution
of the registration law, but this money
could not be drawn in advance of the
rendition of accounts and hence
Davenport wasted the secret-service
fund, which is disbursed on the order
of the chief of the secret service divi-
sion, and vouchers were not required.
Whitely's simple receipt being sufs
ficient. This loose and irresponsible
mode of accounting for public money
is severely commented on and the
President and his attorney generals are
held resposible for system which
has probably enabled dishonest men to
misappropriate and apply to their own
use tens of thousands Of the peoples

Reno's Soldiers Speak.
THE MEN HE SAVED ASK HIS PROMOTE

THE MEN HE SAVED ASK HIS PROMOTION.
General Sheridan has received letter
addressed to the President and Congress,
signed by all the 230 nome commissioned
officers and privates of the Seventh
Cavalry who survived the Custer mas
sacre, earnestly requesting that the
vacancies in the Regiment be filed by
the promotion of Major Reno, Captain
Benteen and other officers of the regi-
ment, according to seniority, for their
services in saving the remainder of the
regiment from massacre. They stite
that although such promotion is against
the rule, it would be deserved, for if Reno
and Benteen had taken position one hun
dred yards back from the brink of the
heights overlooking the river, the troops
would have been cut off from water, en-
tirely surrounded and shot down in de-
tail from behind the heights, and not
one would have escaped.
1t is not likely that the request will be
complied with. The promotions are
always from the senior officers in the par,
ticular branch of the services to which
regiment belongs, and not from any
particular regiment.

UNIQUE CENTENNIAL CONTRIBUTION
FROM WELLsBURG.-Prof. Maury, Di-
rector in charge OF the Centennial col
lection from this State, has received q
communication from Geo. B. Crawford, Of
Wellsburg, asking for place in the de-
partment ut Philadelphia for a unique
piece OF woodwork which he is designing.
Mr.. Crawiord's idea is to represent all the
useful woods used in building, etc., found
in the State. The design will be an
American eagle, flags, ETC., on an arch;
beneath which will be tho historical
figures "l776" and the first sentence Of the
Declaration Of Independence, followed by
the names Of all the signers engraved
upon the wood. Then will come the
names OF all the Presidents from Wash
ington 10 and including Grant in.
scribed on shield; then "lS76" and
"Esto perpetual" The thirteen orig
inal States will be represented by that
number OF stars in tho arch spoken Of,
and the remainder OF the States by stars
surrounding the whole. There will be
many other patriotic devices connected
whit. The work will DO in the form Of
an ornamented bracket, from 4! to 8 feet
in length and from q to 8! feet wide.
The woods used will consist Of black and
white walnut, lynn, locust, poplar, oaks,
cedar, hickory, ash, sugartrec or maple,
cherry, yellow pine, sycamore, beech, elm,
chestnut, dogwood, etc. These will be
worked out 10 u uniform thickness and
fastened together, when the design will
he sawed and carved out.

THAT INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE Gov
ERNoR AND THE AuDrToR.-An interview
which occurred between Governor Jacob
and Auditor Bennett a. the State House
the other day in relation to insuring the
State library has been the subject Of con.
versation in political circles for day or
Two past. The gist Of the whole matter
can be told in a few words. The appro'
priation bill for the current year, as pass
ed by the Legislature during its recent
session in this city, provides for the in
surance Of the State Library and other
property OF the State, said insurance to
be paid out OF the contingent fund and
not in addition thereto, and to be paid
upon the order Of the Governor. The
Governor accordingly proceeded to in
sure the State Library Tor S20,.
900, and several days afterwards went
to Auditor Benefits office and inquired
why he had not issued the warrants for
the payment Of the insurance. The
Auditor replied that he had tho matter
under adyisement, when the Governor
stated that us he had made out the orders
three days previously he expected and
demanded m immediate answer. The
Auditor still declined to give the Gov
ernor any satisfactory answer, and ad'
vised his Excellency to go ont and run
his own office. The Governor then gave
notice that he expected an answer before
8 o'clock that afternoon, when the Audi
tor ordered him out OF the office.
Mr.. Bennett, We understand, holds that
the Librarian himself should contract
for the insurance, and that the bill for
the same should go the Governor for
supervision. However, the bill clearly
implies, as already stated, that the money
is to be paid only upon the order OF the
Governor.

di Gras is theI French for .Shroye-
Tuesday, the Tuesday following Qnin-
uuagcsfma Sunday, and precedin 6
the first day OF Lent, or Ash-Wcdnesday'
Webster tells us that 1t was former ly
customary in England, on this day, for
the people to confess their sins, one by
one, to their parish priests, after which
they dined on pancakes or fritters, and the
occasion became one Of merriment. The
bell rung on this day was yulgarly called
pancake.bell, and the day itself Pancake
Tuesday. Mardi Gras in this country,
however, is principally a Southern institu'
ton, and is nothing more or less than a
grand carnival.
