TOO PREVIOUS.

The Rev. Garvy Bradsted, of New Jer-
sey, is a disappointed man. Through
some occult process of the working of his
ihnerconsciousness he predicted that his
death would occur upon Saturday, Sep
TENDER s, the present year of grace. The
Rev. Mr.. Bradsted's gift of deviation did
not enable him to state the exact hour and
moment of time when he would shuttle of
his mortal coil, but he was sure that dur,
ing the calendar day of September 8th,
he would become an angel, and with the
angels stand. So sure was he that he made
public announcement of the intent; he
babe his congregation a last = long fare
well and it was a very solemn time; he
drove around to his undertaken and made;a
contract in due form for Acknowledgements
for the last sad rites. even chaffering with
that politely sedate parsonage az to the
prices Of the carriages, the trimmings
upon the casket, even having the handles
changed and more costly ones substituted.
Finally, in subdued and sepulchral intona-
tions, he besought the favor of the gentle
man to make the customary reduo-
ton to clergymen.
Having accomplished these things. and
otherwise set his house in order, the Rev.
Gavy calmly awaited the coming of the
day by himself appointed. He duly ar
rayed himself for the tomb and made his
toilet with scrupulous care, even to a hand
some white neck-tie with embroidered
ends, and the parting Of his hair in the
middle He wore at his batton-hole q
boquet of dark flowers, and so he awaited
the arrival of the hour in a state of solemn
expectation. His family grouped them
selves about clad in the habiliments of
fashionable woe. The undertaken arrived
and held himself in readiness
t. discharge his lugerbrious duty.
Quite a collection of curious people
gathered within and about the parsonage
in a state of expectancy, and some among
them with incongruous levity wagered
upon the chances, pro and con as to Gar
WIS climbing the golden stair. They all
waited, but no signs of dissolution we're
discernable, aud something of vexation
was discernable among the ~bystandtrs.

AscaGOtd Gives Way.

Between 8 and 4 o'clock yes erday afternoon
the middle section of the scaffolding in front of
the Northwestern Manufacturing l. Car compa-
ny's warehouse gave way, precipitating three OF
the men to the platform beneath, a distance of
twenty-five feat. The injured parties are Low
Connors, Ole Anderson and Matt Hslberg. Con-
nors was cut and bruised about the face and
head. He was takea up in nearly an uncsn-
scious state and placed inside the warehouse. By
the frequent application of cold wafer his vitali-
ty was in a great measure restored, although
much weakened by the loss of blood. Mr.. Al
derson had his jaw broken, and in addition was
badly cut about the hesd and face. MIR. Halberg
complained of soreness internally. Outwardly
he was apparently uninjured. The cause of the
accident is attriba ed to overlooking the scsffold
with brick and mortar, which happened to be
placed directly over the cross-piecs, causing it
to break. Il lie stated that no piece OF the same
slze s the one retired to could bear the necu-
mulated weight that caused the ons in question
to give way.

A single spot has measured from 10000
to $4,000 miles in diameter, in which, as
will be readily seen, We could put our earth
as a standing point OF observation, and
note how the vast f~acElar waves roll and
meet about the edge of the spot, and also
how the metallic rain is formed from the
warmer portions of the sun. I%nJune, 1S43,
a solar spot remained a week visible to the
naked eye, having a diameter of 1900
miles, and in 1887 a cluster of spots cover
ed an area of nearly 1000. 100000 square
miles. When we call to mind that the
smallest spot which can be seen with the
most powerful telescope must nave an area
of 10000 miles, we can readily see how
large a spot must be iii order t. be visible
to the uraided eye. Pastorof, in 1882,
measured a spot whose umbra had an ex-
tent four times greater than the esrth's
surface. In August, 1858, q spot was meas
ured by!Newail, aud II had a diameter of
$1,000 miles-more, AZ you will see, than
seven times the diameter OF the earth.
The largest spot knowa to astronomy was
no less in diameter than $4,000 miles.

At about 6 o'clock a force of 100 men

vsy for the Wisconsin, Iowa & Nebraska
railroad CROSSES the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Northern tracks In the city and
q track was laid along this survey which

grade toward the river. Il was stated to
be the intention to lay 1000 feet of track.
Of it, but it il claimed by
Burlington i Cedar Rapids that the grant
by the city of the right Of way along the
old grade, placed it at the disposal of the
company first occupying its 1t looks like
a bold attempt on the part of the Burling-
ton company to prevent the Diagonal from
coming into town at that point. The city
voted q 8 per cent. tax in aid of the dag
onal- One of the conditions was that the
track should be built to the city and ACROSS
the river here before the 1st of December
next. The track is now laid within eight
miles of the city, and the only point
where a bridge can be built
across the river inside the time specified
is at the end Of the old grade which the
Burlington folks took possession of this
morning. Some claim the track is being
laid for the Diagonal folks to get through
on q route which is Objectionable to a por-
ton of the people of the city without
being enloined, but this is stoutIy denied
by the Burlington.

BLUE EARTH COUNTY FAIR.
The Closing Day and b Address of O..
Cof3a

TIL Closing Day and Able Address of o. L.
Gotta.
Especial to the Globe.l
MANKAro, Sept. Is. 1SS3.-The last day
Of tbs Blue Earth county fair was the
most Euccessful of the three. A large at
tendance was early on the grounds and
crowds of people continued coming and
going all dey.
1t is estimated that fully 1000 people
visited the grounds during the day. Some
new stocks was noticed in the stalls, and
floral hall had evidently received many ad-
ditiens to what it contained on the prev
ious days.
The interest. however, centered in the
address by the Hon. S. l.. Coffin, rail-
road commissions of Iowa. Mr. Coffin
is a forcible and earnest speaker and com
mands. we'll the attention OF his audience.
His address was a plain practical and
earnest talk to the farmers of this section,
in which he contrasted the methods and
opportuait es Of farming east, north and
vest of US, and after a thorough review of
thsir facilities and ars,announeed that no
richer soil or arabic lard for all agricul-
tural purposes existed on this continent
than the broad fertile acres of Illinois,
Iowa, and Southern Minnesota.
He counseled the farmers to turn their
attention to grass cultivation, the raising
of cattle for stock and dairy purposes, and
dis2pproTed of the plan of selling OF
the young heifera To stock Montana
ranches. He urged that the surest way to
improve land in producing qualities wGs
to raise grass aaa sock and keep the stock
on the farm. He cited as All illustration
that a dairy farm near Elgin, ILL.,, has just
been sold for 800 per acre that was worth
no more than an ordinary farm before 1t
was used for dairy purposes. He claimed
that whisky, general shiftlessness, and
wheat or one idea farming has been great
~ injurious to the agricultural connun-
ity, and he urged his hearers to cultivate
habits of sobriety, and to carefully care
for machinery, fences, buildings and stock,
and by careful inbrseding:and selecting the
latter, herds and focks would increase,
land richen, and competence, wealth and
independence would surely come, and a
peaceful aud contented old age would
await them.
The address was listened to with marked
attention, and carried with it a conviction
that will result, no doubt, in much COED.
At the conclusion the officers of the fair
announced that all orders, including those
of previous years, unpaid, if presented,
would be cashed. The fair has paid ex-
penses. premiums, and enough to take up
old orders.

4 decided change, however, has taken
place in the Shaker dress within the past
40 years. Skirts were tornsrly quite plain;
now they are laid in lengthNiss folds an

killed, and in the soft grars ana stona

little girls wear white csps, instead of
