simultaneously with the utterance Of
the official announcement it was instan-
taneously communicated by telegraph to
the exhibitors in Machinery Hall, by a
system OF gongs in that building to the
exhibitors, and to the visitors generally
by gong in the general telegraph office
on the grounds. and by an Independent
wire cabled directly to London For this
purpose two wires had been introduced
into the hall. an instrument stationed on
one side OF the platform and attended by
two operators. The announcement was
made at thirty-tiye minutes after 3 O'clock
and the signal to stop the Corliss engine
and machinery in Machinery Hall, OF
which prior notice had been given to ex-
hibitors, was the striking of the gongs
seven times and then six times, or as the
operator briefly expressed it 1.-THE signal
OF 7G." SPECIAL gong for the occasion
had been placed beside the great engine,
and the signal strokes upon this, as upon
the other gongs, were followed by the i'm
mediate stoppage of the great engine and
ali the machinery connected with it. The
gong IN the general telegraph Office also
sounded at the same moment, while the
news flashed across the ocean that the
great exhibition had closed. All present
here united in singing the doxology, the
chorus and orchestra joining. AS the
least echo died away the audience quietly
dispersed. President Grant. after leaving
the hall, proceeded to the Office of Presi-

In August, 1916, Barney Williams
returned to this city, and became man
ager of Vauxhall Garden, and while
he was manager there, Dan Bryant
made his debut as a boy negro dancer.
Not finding ultimate success in Vaux-
hall Garden, Barney drifted back to
Chatham Theater, where Miss Maria
Kathleen Pray was in the ballet. She
was soon married to Charles Mstayer,
and after his death returned to the
Chatham, and became popular as a
fancy dancer and second sou6rette. In
1850, Barney was still in the company,
and Joe Jefferson was the low come
dian. His first wife, Maggie Lockyer,
whom he first knew as young ballet
girl of the Bowery Theater, was dead
and he began to admire the pretty
Mrs. Mestayer. Barney was also i'm
pressed by her, but both were too shy
to offer themselves, and neither knew
the others feelings, One evening Joe
asked Barney, as they were both dress
ing for the stage, to make Mrs. Mes
layer an offer on his behalf. Barney
was staggered, but he heorically re-
solved to abide by the lady's decision.
He fulfilled his task between the first
and second acts of the first piece. say

THE Two WEBsTERs. When Mr..
Webster visited England, after he had
attained fame enough to precede him,
an English gentleman took him one
day to see Lord Brougham. That
eminent Briton received our Daniel
with such GOODNESS that he was glad to
get away and back to his rooms. The
friend who had taken him at once re-
turned to Lord Brougham in haste and
anger.
My lord, how could you behave
with such unseemly rudeness and dis
courtesy to so great lawyer and states
man? 1t was insulting to him and has
filled me with modification.

and having other tastes in common
besides law and politics, they made a
royal night of it.

the Te-eIftctfHcub Oh WHICH, - j near, -
to be pressed at the present session, It
but It repeals the Southern Homestead
law. and contains no provision recurring
agricultural lands to be sold to settlers
only In limited quantities. Without this
provision our Homestead law must
continue to be what 1t has been
in the pasta halting, halfway
measure. What justice demands and
the people have been earnestly pleading
for Tor years Is that the policy Of land
speculation shall be cut up, root and
branch. This can only be done by posi-
tive legislation. 1t will not do to say
that no more lands can be sold to specu-
lators unless the President shall issue
his proclamation OF public sale, and
that no such public sales have been pro-
claimed for years past, or are likely to
be. This is begging the question.
We live, under government OF
cretion It's theory is that our rulers
need TO be hedged about by restrictions
and prohibitions. To say that the Pres
idenf, having the power to throw the
public lands into the grasp Of specula-
tors and monopolists, as so many OF his
predecessors have done, will not exer.
else that power, is to say that he is proof
against temptation, and beyond the
reach Of lobbies and rings OF all sorts.
I think no man will say any,
thing so extravagant who has PAID
any attention to the civil service OF
the Government, or the general course
Of the present administration since 1T
came into power Congress, and Con,

. THE GRASSHOPPER&Is.

-
Reports reach us that the grasshop-
pers are Matching in considerable num-
bers III Watonwan, Cottonwood and
Murray Counties, and also in portions
Ct Ja ckson. Scarcely any eggs were
deposited in Rock County, or in Osceola
and Dickinson Counties, Iowa. In our
own county, the deposit and the hatch
are confined mainly to about five towns,
viz: Graham Lakes, Seward, IIersey,
Elk and Worthington. There are a few
i'll Indian Lake, Dewald and Summit
Lake, but not many. The damage, if
any is done, will be confined to five or
six townships.
The little pests are thick in places
and have got the regular minnesota
appetite" They will undoubtedly eat
us long as they are with US. As we
have often said, the farmers must fight
them. Much can be done III that way
to save the gardens at least, and often
whole fields can be saved. Better drop
everything and turn out, men, women
and children, and fight the common
enemy.
We hear that a few full grown hop
pers have dropped down in Rock and in
portions of this county. Where they
come from we cannot say. ( If we should
have il steady southwest wind for some
days, we may have another invasion
from Colorado, but otherwise we feel
safe from invasion.
