Far Matters.

At the regular meeting of the Capital
State Fair Association, held on Tuesday
last, it was decided that each exhibitor of
stock should be allowed an attendant foi
each animal exhibited, and an attendant for
each herd or pen of sheep or hogs. The
attendants will be furnished daily with one
entrance ticket by the director i'll charge of
the gate, which will be taken up by the
gatekeeper.
Exhibitors in any of the departments are
allowed to erect pavilions or sheds in which
to exhibit their goods and wares. under the
supervision of the respective department
superntendents, and those intending doing
so are advised to confer with the proper
SUPERINTENDENT at an early day.
Messrs. Phillips and Sayers, superinten-
dents OF the stock department, resigned
their D. sitlons as such. The latter also re-
signed his position as general superinten-
dent, and is succeeded in that position by
Col. N. L. Norton. The appointment of
superintendent Of the stock department
has not vet been announced.
A trotting track will also be made. The
exhibition hall is under contract and work
already commenced. Pens for sheep and
hogs and enclosed box stalls for horses are
also being constructed.
1t Is proposed to have balloon ascension
on one of the exhibition days if the proper
arrangements can be effected with the aero
naut in time.
A novel feature has been introduced,
which, we think. will take we'll. Il is pro-
posed to furnish families who live at dis

where they car do their own cooking and
feed their own teams il they 50 desire.
Special C imp entrance tickets will be issued
1, them at reduced rates. This is certainly
vrea; inducement to attract those who
live at a distance 10 cume.
The association is fully impressed with
the responsibilities it has assumed, and
will leave nothing undone on their part to
mske the exhibition q grand success and
an honor to the State. IL now behooves
our citizens and those surrounding ouI
city to take a lively interest in the
matter. Hotels, boarding houses and all
those interested in having good fruits,
good vegetables, good butter, fine flowers,
etc, should offer special premiums for
these articles. as is done At other places.
Let all turn in and help to make the fair s

citizens il they viii only put their shoulder.

We would suggest that the Firemen''

THE GkAssHoPPERs.-Some msthemati-
clan should gather IN cotemporaneous &C
counts given Of the flight Of Iocusts over
Texas and the West. Thess moasureless
swarms must cover vast districts, and while
40 OAe could dream OF their Numbers, it
would be possible to give some idea of the
width and depth of continuous swarms
that go down to the sea. Everywhere,
from the Rio Grande to Bunham, and from
this line drawn east and west to the Gulf,
countless hosts sweep over the country.
What force drives them to the South2 Is
the winter to be of extraordinary fierceLess,
and do insects, as we'll as birds, foresee vio-
lent climatic changes2 We will know when
spring time comes. Meanwhile, chickens
and swine, dev1uring vast numbers, be-
come for tim. valueless. Their flesh
tastes as if the odOrs of grasshoppers had
been infused into the blood and flesh of
birds and beasts that feed upon the insects,
and not the least of evils incident to the
lncursion of the plague of Syria and Egypt
is discovered In these alleged facts.

THE board of direct~rs of the C1T't',
State FAIR Association have arranged to ac-
commodate people from the county who
may wish to attend the fair and avoid the
expense of stopping at hotels, or the risk
of losing their teams from camping in un-
protected places, by furnishing, free of
charge, camp privileges in the large and
well enclosed grounds adjoining the fair
grounds. There is an abundance of good
water on the grounds, but campers will
have to furnish their own forage and fuel,
and will be required To keep their stock

destroyed by water; and viewing the tenac-
ity with which men hold on to life, it is
surprising to all how recklessly they snap
the links one after another by paying no

of the parts of our delicately complex or
