On Thursday evening an unusually
interesting marriage ceremony took
place at the residence of Mr.. Daniel
l.. Sawyer, in Haverhill, Mass, the
Rev. A. A. Williams, officiating. The
bridegroom was Ebcn II. Little, Esq,
so years old, a native of Hampstead,
n. H., successful Boston merchant.
The bride was Miss Jerusha Palmer,
81 years old, a wealthy maiden lady,
formerly residing in Beacon street,
Boston, but late Of Scmerville. The
groomsman was Master Arson Aver,
II years old, and the bridesmaid Mel
lie NJ. Sawyer, a Miss Of 10. The
wedding party consisted of about thir-
ty persons, relatives and friends, inclu-
ding ages from the infant of thirteen
months, with its suggestive prattle, to
those Of threescore years. The par
ties to the union are hale and hearty,
with no abatement Of natural tervor
save that which attends advancing
years. Mr.. Little has been married
once before. and several years ago,
passed the period of his golden we'd
ding. To the bride the relations were
new. The early hours of the honey
moon are to-day being spent in an ex-
cursion down the river in the Queen
Of the Merrimac, the party being
joined by the Odd Fellows and Daugh-
tiers of Rebekah, to whom they will
present practical illustration of how
the odd are sometimes made even. The
romance of the affair is that Mr.. Lit
tie, "longing for a kindred spirit"
and yearring for heart that could
commune with his own, made prOpo-
sails 10 Miss Palmer several months
ago, which were then not looked upon
with favor. Within the past ten days
however, an answer was received, re-
versing the former decision and Assem-
ting to the proposed union. The mai
den became his aliianced, and the ne
cessary preparations for the nuPIial
ceremonies were fastened, so that the
event took place last evening. The
venerable pair are to make their abode
in this city, Boston Globe.

Mortal Enemy 20 The Grasshcpper
The st. Paul (Minnesota) Pioneer
Press, of Friday, says; "There has
heretofore been some talk about par.
asite having been found adhering TO
the grasshopper, which it was fondly
hoped would ultimately exterminate
that destructive insect. Early in the
spring several parties forwarded to
this office specimens Of the hoppers,
underneath whose wings could plainly
be seen a little bug, which, il was al.
legged, was surely killing the grasshop.
per. 1t Is needless to say that this
hope was never realized, and that no
substantial relief was furnished by any
labors of the parasite upon the live
hopper. Now, however, we have a
different story To tell, and there is al
most positive evidence to prove that a
remedy Is at hand in the shape of an
egg eating bug, which is surely and
certainly destroying all the eggs laid
by the grasshoppers this year, thus
insuring Minnesota nm exemption from
the ravages Of this voracious and de-
structive insect next year. This bug
is of deep red color, about the size of
a flea, or rather louise, resembling the
latter also somewhat in its shape and
movements. Ex-Gov. Stephen Miller
has forwarded to President Drake, of
the st. Paul and Sioux City road, a
box full Of earth which originally con-
tanned a mass Of grasshopper eggs, but
which had boen transformed by these
parasites into a quantity Of loose soil,
mingled with the remnants Of discol-
ored ogg-shells, with a multitude of
the fat little red bugs prancing around
on the surface, apparently in pursuit
of something more to eat. AS 10 the
utility and complete success Of these
bugs as destroyers of the grasshopper
eggs, there would seem to he no doubt
in the minds of those who have given
the subject a general examination, as
well as of those who have personally
inspected their mode of operation and
the places where they have utterly de-
stroyed the eggs laid by the hoppers a
few weeks ago.

One of the B0ys.

The Reading (Pa.) Eagle says
Saturday, at the Fair Grounds, in this
city, young Tony Espinosa, not yet IA
years of age, undertook and success
fully accomplished the feat of riding
twenty-five miles in less than one
hours time. The boy is dark
skinned Mexican lad, tough, brave,
healthy, and determined. He wore
blue knee brooches, and fancy colored
cap and white shirt. His father SUI
perintcnded the changing of horses,
which was Zone at the end Of every
mile. The first mile was run in 2:l4,
the second in 200, the third in 2:15,
and in about that time throughout,
with few exceptions, the miles were
run. As each mile was completed
one of the troupe would catch the
horse as he crossed the score in full
speed, and throw him back nearly ON
his launches while the boy would
jump off and in an instant would be
on the back of another animal and gal
Looping away. The sixth heat the
horse bolted from the track and ran
down over the rocks, but the boy mas
tered the animal and kept on his back.
By this accident three minutes were
lost. However, the lad determined
to make up for lost time and he rode
swifter than before. Round and round
the course he went, fifty-two times
without stopping, and as he came home
the last time he was received with
great applause when the judges, IL.
Herb and A. II. Kretz, announced
that the 25 miles had been accomplish
ed in 584 minutes. The boy did not
appear very tired, and all the refresh
ments he took during the ride were a
few swallows of water.

A Rich Dasf-Heap

This morning as n man in the EN-
ploy Of the government contractor was
dumping a load of ashes on the COM
mon, he discovered a large pile Of
notes lying in heap, and on over
hauling them, found that they were
bank notes Of various denominations,
cut up in small pieces about an inch
in size. II seems extraordinary how
the notes came in this state, as il is
evident they were cut by machinery,
some being perfect sphere, about tho
size Of twenty-five cent pieces, and
other different shapes. There were at
least half a peck of the pieces, and
the question is, where did they come
from The notes were apparently OF
the denomination Of 81 and 81, but
there were pieces that looked as tho
they might belong to a United States
S.. The entire pile must have repre-
sented Thousands ofdollar.- Halifax

The first aim and purpose Of every
business man. whether he is farmer
or a merchant, is to make money,
There may be, OF course, other mo-
tivcs connected with this, but UNI
doubtedly the leading object and in
centive to action, l. money. This
may seem like taking a low or sordid
view Of the subject, but If rightly
considered, il is not. The law Of our
nature that impels every maa to make
his business a source Of gain, is un.
questionably sound and wise, and all
that remains for us is TO regulate our
conduct in harmony with that law.
The man who pursues farming for
any other purpose than to make il pay
is simply an exception to a general
rule, and his success or failure is Of
little consequence to the world. But
the intelligent farmer who perceives
that under all doubts and difficulties
of his vocation there still remains n
clear margin Of profit. who steadily
works out his conviction to tangible
result, aud the conquerors final sue
cess, proves his good sense as well as
his capacity, aud by developing the
possibilities Of his business, sheds light
upon il that gives a new value, not
only 10 his own farm, but to every
farm in his country.
The world never grudges to such a
man the honest fruits of his labor, for
his example is public heritage be-
You'd price. He shows that the occu-
patton which feeds the human race is
able to remunerate those who EN- :age
in il: that the successful farmer, while
gradually accumulating an honorable
independence, is helping to reduce the
price of bread to the hungry. And
this, be it observed, is not mere alb
straction, but a great agricultural
fact.
The farmer, for example, who sue
ceeds in getting large yield of corn
from an acre, and at a lower cost per
bushel than ever before, thereby con-
tributes to diminish the market price,
as well as to increase the abundance,
not only Of this cereal, but of nearly
all the products of husbandry. If he
has been accustomed to get thirty
bushels of corn from an acre at a cost
of fifty cents per bushel, which has
been the experienc, of many farmers,
and if by persistent effort he works
out method that gives sixty bushels
at forty cents, which has also been the
experience of some, then his net profit
on a market price of seventy cents
per bushel, is 800 per cent. greater
than before. But this is not all. A
saving in the cost of corn indicates 4
corresponding reduction in the cost o.
beef and pork, of mutton and wool
of milk, butter and cheese, poultry
and eggs.

Go straight on, and do not mind
them. If they get in your way, walk
around them regardless Of their spirit.
A man who has no enemies is seldom
good for anything-he is made Of that
kind of material that is so easily
worked that every one has a hand in
it. A sterling character is one who
thinks for himself, and speaks what he
thinks, and is always sure to make
enemies. They are as necessary TO
him as fresh air; they keep him alive
and active. A celebrated character,
who was surrounded by enemies, used
to remark; "They are sparks which,
if you do not blow, will go out of them
selves" Live down prejudice" was
the Iron Dukes motto. Let this be
your feeling while endoavoring to live
down the scandal Of those who are bit
ter against you. If you stop to dis
pute, you do as they desire and open
the door to more abuse. Let the poor

The story Of the Present Terrible
Distress.

On Tues day evening, shortly after
retiring for the night, the matron OF
the Home went down to the front door
and found little girl stranger calling
loudly for help, snugly wrapped and
laid upon a bundle that proved to be
clothing for tie little one. A note
was also found, written in lady's
hand, plain and neat. The little one
is nice, healthy looking girl, appa-
rently about eight weeks old. The
letter read as follows:
