THE PRESIDE.
BLUE AND GRAY.

'Oll, mother, what do you mean by blue!
And what do they mean by grayH''
Was heard from the lips of little child
As she bounded in from play.
The mothers eyes filed up with tears;
She turned to her darling fair,
And smoothed away from the sunny brow
Its treasures of golden hair.
,sWhy, mothers eyes are blue, my sweet,
And grandpa's hair is gray,
And % the love we bear our I'D darling child
'But what did they ~ persisted the
"For saw two cripples to-day,
The other, he fought for the gray.
''Now, he of the blue had lost leg,
The other had but one arm,
And both seemed worn and weary and sad,
Yet their greeting was kind and warm.
They told OF battles in days gone by,
Til it made by young blood thrill;
The leg was lost in the Wilderness fight,
And the arm on Malvern Hill.
''They sat ON the stone by the tarmyard gate
And talked for IN hour or more,
Till their eyes grew bright and their hearts
seemed warm
With fighting their battles DER.
And, parting at last with friendly grasp,
r1ab ca ai9da y, 1 So ynseS the time
Uniting the blue and the gray
Then the mother thought Of other days
Two stalwart boys from her riven;
How they knelt at her side, and, lisping,
prayed
"Our Father which art in Heaven;''
How one wore the gray and the other the
blue,
How they passed away from sight,
And had gone to the land where gray and
blue
Are merged in colors Of light.
And she answered her darling with golden
hair;
While her heart was sadly wrung
With the thoughts awakened in that sad hour
BY her innocent, prattling tongue:
1.-THE blue and the gray are the colors of God ;
They are seen in the sky at even.
And many noble, gallant soul
Has found them passports to heaven

GRASSHOPPERS.

St. Paul, July 2s.-The terrible devas-
tation of grasshoppers on the northwest
ern, western and southwestern borders
of this state has not been before alluded
to in these dispatches. The damage
done by these pests is incalculable, but
the amount of crops destroyed is SO far
inconsiderable. counted as whole, al
though hundreds of Industrious, hard
working settlers have lost their all, and
have nothing left to live upon. The
Pioneer Press of to-day concludes an
editorial article on the subject with say
ing that a great part of the region west
of and including Jackson county. to east
ern Dakota and south through northwest
ern Iowa is covered with the devouring
hosts, and our reports indicate that the
entire crops of the region are being
swept away, and that many of the dis
couraged settlers are temporarily leav-
ing. We record the sad fact as matter
of news which it would be useless folly
to attempt to conceal, for it might as
well be understood that northwestern
states have got to fight these grasshop.

cost or they will make a desert of the

Before you complain any more of the
hot weather here, read what Macaulay
said of the climate in Calcutta, India
I'VE are annually baked four months,
boiling four more. and allowed four
more to get cool if we can At this mo-
ment the sun is blazing like furnace.
The earth, smoked with oceans of rain,
is steaming like wet blanket. Vege-
tation is rotting all around u.s. Insects
and undertakers are the only living
creatures that seem to enjoy the eli,
mate" Tho year before, in May of 1850,
he wrote: lone execrable effect the
climate produces: 1t destroys all the
works of man with scarcely an excep.
ton. Steel rusts, razors lose their edge,
thread decays. clothes fall to pieces,
books moulder away and drop out OF
their bindings, plaster cracks, timber
rots, mating is in shreds. The sun and
steam OF the vast alluvial tract, and the
infinite army of white ants, make such
havoc with buildings that house re
quires complete repairing every three

THE EXACT TRUTH ABOUT MR. AND
MRS. TILTON.
IN. Y. Cor. of the Chicago Tr,bun.l

The exact truth about tho present re-
lations between Mr.. and Mrs. Tilton is
this: When Tilton was home to spend
the holidays, he sent his two daughters
to see their mother and carry her flow
ers. aud they were repulsed. He made
known to her lawyer that if she was
unpovided for, he would gladly send
her a check for $1,000. She sent back
word that she would die before she
would ever receive a dollar from him.
On returning from his lecture tour,
two months ago, Tilton one day receiv-
ed a note from venerable and we'll
known lawyer, asking him to call at his
ed that he had superseded MIR. Wheeler,
Mr.. Tilton's former lawyer; that the
purse of $1,000, raised by Plymouth
church for Mrs. Tilton's support, ,ofwhich
Mr.. Augustus Storrs was the almoner,
was entirely exhausted; that she was
living by her own hard labor. and that
she requested that he (TiltoM would
contribute to her support. MIR. Tilton
replied that he had always been willing
to support Mrs. 1ilton without any re-
gard to her feelings towards him or
others; and he drew on the spot, and
placed in the lawyers hands, check
tor 81 900. The money on the check was
drawn the next day, and Mrs. Tilton
has been ever since, and is now, living
upon it. She is apparently deserted
by the Plymouth church people, only
one or two Of them ever calling upon
her, and that at long intervals.
AS to the children, the case is as sim
pie as this: that they live exactly where
they please. Three of them choose to
live with their father, and the fourth will
follow soon. There is not the least con.
straint, under ''the laws OF the state OF
New jersey" or otherwise.
The success of Moulton in the su.
preme court, and the probability thai
the case will soon come up for tina
trial, have excited public interest In the
unpleasant controversy anew.

TILDEN's STRENGTH.
Republican Asses who Don't Know
What They Are Braying About.
From the New York Graphic, Rep.l

From the New 1Ork Graphic, Rep.l
It would be quite as we'll for the Re-
publicans not to take too much stock in
the reports of some of their papers as to
the unpopularity of Governor Tilden,
the dissatisfaction of his party with him.
the disaffection between him and Gov
ernor Hendricks, and similar yarns spun
out of the wishes of his opponents. 1t is
easy to see wonders through telescope
after flies have been shut into it. Some
of those wonderful discoveries as to the
strength and condition of the democ-
racy and the intentions of Governor Til
den and his relations with his party as
sociates are transparent frauds, ,manufac-
tured on purpose to gull whoever is
simple enough to believe such stuff.
The fact is that Governor Tilden is the
put in the field, and the strongest they
have nominated since James Buchanan.
He minds his own business, keeps his own
counsel, seldom slops over, makes few
mistakes, and has as clear and sharp an
eye to see what ought to be done as any
man in America. wilhelm executive force
he has few equals and no superior. He
doubtless knows as well what he is doing
and why he is doing it, and what he

mocracy means success, and are deter.
mined to win it if they possibly can dc
so; and they are too shrewd to quarrel
too plucky to turn the white feather, anC
too hungry to abandon chance so long
as the game is in sight. And the re
