uddenly ended, on the eighth innings, BY

suddenly ended, on the eighth innings, by
the umpire ruling and giving the game to
the Morris club, on the ground Of repeated
violation of the rules, and constant dispute
and abuse of the umpire. The purse of
$50 was awarded to the home club, al.
though the score was 10 to 10, in favor of
Glenwood. We regret to see so much bad
feeling, as it could and should have been
avoided. In our opinion, Mr.. Murphy
made mistake in not allowing the game
to proceed to conclusion, for it would
have been more satisfactory to have done
so, after the violation of the rules had been
countenanced,f for so long. The Glenwood
club we're indignant and disappointed, and
felt extremely sore over the result. We
think that neither club deserved. the purse,
although. under the rules it belongs to Nor
ris, yet, in face of the facts, they did not
actually earn it, and we would like to see
it again played for. The club offered to
play the Glenwood club at Benson, for q
purse of $100. but the offer was not accept
ed. We regret that the visiting club, or
some member, should have so far forgot
ten him, or themselves, as to make hotel
registers place in which to note scurril-
GUS and very mean remarks, as this one
thing has done much to lower the whole
club in the estimation of the public The
result of the game was not unexpected, but
it is to be regretted, and although, as we
said before, the rules gave the game and
purse to Morris, yet it would have been far
preferable had they really earned it, as we
of course think they could, in fair and
square contest. One thing We must say,
and that is that the members of the visiting
club should, like the Morris club, leave the
settlement of disputes to the Captain
Music AND AMUsEMENTs.-The Morris

the creditable manner in which they con-

serves credit for their pluck and persever-
ance, and the rapid progress and fine play
ing also speak much for the ability of their

gress during the past two months being
really surprising and highly commendable.
On Friday and Saturday evenings, the
Band had social dances, at Goods Hall,
and all present had very enjoyable and
pleasant time. The baseball club enjoyed
themselves Friday evening, by having g
social hop, at the new hall in upper town,
and highly enjoyable occasion is reported.

standingly, the question will be publicly
discussed. THAT great benefits are antici-

would bear the brunt Of it. Il Is Of course
advisable to proceed in this matter with
caution. We all want to know just where
we stand, and what we are doing; and to
vote understandingly and intelligently, the
question must be honestly and fairly placed
before the people. It is the intention al
these meetings to invite discussion. II any

"Deltas" dernier resort is to drag the
names and memories of the honored living
and dead down into the mud and slime of
disrepute, and conceal fraud, humbug, i'm
position and deceit. by using, or rather
abusing, their sacred memories and hon.
ored name as cloak under which to hide
rabble of simple and malicious impostors.
This style of argument is obsolete, it is not
argument at all, In fact II Is but bold and
objectionable impudence, assumption and
efrontery. If ''Delta" instead of attempt
ing to drag the illustrious to the dust, would
strive to raise his lunatic-ism to some re.
spectacle level, there would be seme atom
of sense in his rawlings.

Clairvoyance.

aos MILWAUKEE, Wis. July 9th, 1879.
 Editor Enquirer All ages have their spec ial revelations. That which has not yet been revealed is termed supernatural. AS soon as we out-think our last thoughts and the boun- da,ies of vision are extended the super-na- tural becomes reduced to the natural Through these progressive steps we learn to see that all is only natural, our ignorance alone making the difference. We come to see the Master even as natural being, and that all his ways are natural, and we no longer have need of the word supernatural.
 We are ceasing to be flied with fear at something simply because it is new.
 On the contrary we are learning to desire more and more that which is out of the old stereotyped modes. We are gradually pre- ferring free thought to bound thought. All that is asked is evidence theory is good but fact is better--where facts are obtainble.
 The woman's rights Idea has been popular ized by the observance of facts. It has been ascertained that in any town where given number of husbands are superior to their wives. an equal number of wives can be found who are superior to their husbands. Colleges are progressing out of the old ideas into the lIa- ven of the modern and progressive sciences. Clairvoyance has ceased to bea mooted theory; scientific tests having reduced it to an indls- putable fact. A counterfeit only proves a genuine. The brave and the true will not de- nounce that which they do not understand. .-.l z. .. .sF.g -st 't saS 4 ,.s K W Rgf.

On the evening following the events record ed in our last chapter our friend Edwin bent his steps towards the home of his lady-love. He was always welcome there they all liked him, and at many pleasant little musical evening his rich voice had played conspicu- ous part. On this particular night, however, he does not care to see any of the others; he wants only his Angelina, to make fully known to her GW his love, and to rest at last in the warm sunshine of that sweet smile which is for the future to illumine every day of all his life. Fortune seems to favor him. "Lina'' and her mother are for once quite alone. Tln. young people have gone to the theatre. Lima was a little over-tired and preferred to remain with her mother.

 She was knitting stocking, and little ball of cotton lay in her lap. He stopped forward from his chair beside her, and possessing hlm- self of the little ball, began slowly unwindng and re-winding the cotton. He had not i'm agined the words would be so hard to speak, but now, with those clear eyes and that un- concerned expression before him, he found it difficult to begin. "Lina, 1 came here o-night to ask you to be my wife" Better not to beat about the bush now it was done, and he sat up straight and looked at her. "Will you marry me? 7"
 A faint blush spread over the pale cheek, and slight start accompanied it, that sent the lit tie ball upon it's travels. After stepping for 6 moment to recover it, she turned upon him g face white as if the moon shone upon it ''No! I cannot marry you" Then rising she continued very quietly, but with tremu lous voice. ''l am very sorry, but 1 canno marry you," and would have left the room. At first he had seemed stunned; but wher he saw her going he sprang up and intercepted the movement.
 "Lina, you cannot leave me like this. Al least, explain your conduct"

"'It occasionally happens that locusts disap-
pear for a number of years in succession; il
is therefore presumed that in seasons Of scar
city they are compelled before the breeding
season, TO take long flights in search of food
and when this occurs millions of their dead
are found on the shores of the sea, and the
efluvia from their bodies often occasions
great sickness. In the year 1882 locusts lay
two feet deep in the Bay of Smyrna. Ship
and typhus and other fevers became so prev
alent in the town that many families in po-
sition to leave took refuge in the country vii
lagos. With proper government, this East
ern plague could by degrees be done away
with but the Turks leave everything to fate
and although occasional orders are given by
the governors in the interior for their de-
struction when they first appear in the spring,
only half measures are taken, and little is
gained by these futile attempts TO destroy
them. In former times Cyprus was annual
ly devastated by locusts; but of late years
this great inhiction has almost ceased to be
source of anxiety to its agricultural popula-
ton, owing to the intelligence of European
who holds property on the island and who
invented the following simple method of de-
stroying them in their infancy, which has
been already alluded to in the public Jour
mails.
"Locusts, as mentioned before are born on
the slopes of the hills, and when they are
sufficiently developed to commence their
work of destruction, descend into the plains
in long and regular columns, never deviating
from their path. Anticipating this method
of progression trenches are dug at the base
of these hills and when the locusts are with
in few yards of the pits, they are inclosed
between two long strips of canvas placed per-
pendicularly in parallel lines leading to tho
mouths of the pits. piece of oil cloth is
then spread on the ground, extending a few
inches over these trenches in a slantng posi-
ton, over which the locusts continue to ad-
vance, and are precipitated into these traps
in innumerable quantities, and Immediately
destroyed If the Turkish government fol-
lowed the example set them by the inhabi-
tants of Cyprus, Asia Minor would soon be
free of locusts but as there is little chance
of this being the case, we must expect year
ly increase of these insects, and trust to nat
ural causes for their destruction"
