The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1880-05-30

my lot to see an entire public so detrauded
and imposed upon as were the thousands o:
people who went TO SOC the great National
boat race. 1t was advertised to begin pre-
cisely at $3.50. 1t began at $50, and after il
did begin what a disgusting fraud it was
Nobody seems TO doubt that Courtney
sold out, and the amount paid him is esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000 But the
crowd, the excitement the stir and rush
all the day OF the race were far beyond any
thing have seen hero. One old lady told
me she had seen every inauguration since
Harrison, but never saw "the Avenue" as
lively as on last Wednesday. The hotels,
livery stables, street cars and restaurants
reaped substantial benefits, but the "desr
people" were miserably deceived and disap-
pointed. There is considerable excitement
sort of after rath--sbout to morrow's
race between Hanlan and Riley but nothing
like last week.
The first cathedral built in England since
the Reformation, and consequently the first
Protestant cathedral erected there, is 10 be
built at Truro. The Prince Of Wales, Grand
Master of England, laid the cornerstone last
week with great pomp and ceremony. How
many changes have taken place since the
Roman Catholics built the last of England's
cathedrals!
The French papers tell us OF u "scientihc
excursion among the Clouds by four emil
nont scientists which had disastrous ending.
The balloon WAS caught in storm, and be-
ing unable to penetrate into the centre of the
storm ~here it is always calm the balloon
came to grief, and was being rapidly blown
into the ocean when the captain opened the
valves and the air-ship descended to the
earth, striking the ground with tremendous
force, rebounding to the extraordinary height
of 200 feet, striking the earth again, and re-
peating this gigantic game of bounce ball
six times in one minute. Some peasants
finally caught the ball and rescued the aero
nauts, nearly beaten to death. Strange to
say, none of them are fatally injured The
question that naturally arises, in the most
unscentitlc mind, is who Kept the "og of
the air ship while she was humping about at
that tremendous rate? draw the readers
attention to this Excursion among the
clouds" ms one of the signs Of the times. For
although this ended badly, Others have been
entirely successful, and more will be.
Speaking of excursions, the Howgate ey-
petition is to be commanded by Lieutenant
Greeley, United States Navy. | see also that
the revenue steamer Corwin left Saturday
for the Pacific coast to deliver the starving
people on st. Lawren island, the crews of
the wrecked whalers, and Captain DeLong.
Yesterdays Post reports n valuable dscov-
cry regarding cotton seed, which will perhaps
interest my cotton planting renders, which il

so that the "planter" can be used
in sowing cotton seed as well
MS corn or otEer grain. Seed prepared this
way also comes up five days earlier than
Others, The process Is simple: Put tho seed
in an earthern or glass vessel and pour over
them the ordinary sulphuric acid of con-
merce, until the seeds are entirely covered.
Stir with n wooden spoon or stick until the
seeds are perfectly free of cotton. Then
soak in fresh water and plant. 1t is not neces-
sary, however, to plant immediately-the
seed may be dried and kept until
wanted but the acid must
be thoroughly washed off, These prepared
seeds will be sent from the Agricultural Bu-
reau to whomsoevor sends for them in time
for next years crop. was surprised to
learn from this article in the Post that cotton
