Prof. G. v. Riley. in a recent adj
dress before the American PomOlogi-
cal society, said that if he were asked
to enumerate the six most important
substances that could be used for des-
troying insects above ground he
would mention tobacco, soap, helle-
bore, arsenic, petroleum and pyre-
thrum. The first three. he said, were
well known, and comment on thsir
value was unnecessary. But it has
only lately been learned that the
vapor of nicotine-that is. tobacco
yapor-is not only very effectual In
destroying insects wherever it can be
confined, as in greenhouses, but that
it is less injurious to delicate plants
than either the smoke or the liquid.

Jay Eye-Sse had beaten his record. An

C0e<fs as the "rwin Cities.S
AT MINNEAPOLIS.

AT MrNNKAPoLIs.
MNyElPoLs, Sept. This has
been the most eveutful day in
the history Of Minneapolis. The an
nouncemsnt that President Willard aud
hrs guests would stop in Minneapolis on
their way to witness the driving Of the
golden spike on the Northern Pacific
| caused the citizens to stretch every
nerve to make the visit a memorable
one. The day davned clear and bright,
and nothing occdrred throughout to
mar the festivities. For several days
every one has been busy fashioning
matters and designing novelties in the
| way OF decoration When the hour of
noon arrived all business houses in the
principal thoreughfares we're lavishly
adorned with flags, etc. At the inter
section of the Nicollett House, from the
First National Bank across to Harrison
Hall, Was a section of the Northern Pa
cific bridge over the Missouri river at
bismarck, With train OF cars upon it.
between the bank block and johnson
block, across the alley, and facing the
NiooIlet House, vas a representation of
Minnehaha Falls, the water falling over
aud through a mass of evergreens.
Across Hennepin, at the intersection Of
washington, WAS a section of the Mani
toba viaduct, now being built across the
river at Minneapolis, and over which,
on leased tracks, the Northern Pacific
trains will run from the eastern termi-
nus in this city to connect with st.
Louis landing down the river. Across
the avenue, in trout of Anthony Kelly's,
was another magnificent arch, and still
another sp0nned the street in front of
the Window block. All along the av-
enue were novel notices and deoora-
lions. One of the prettiest was on the
Window block, where, among other
things, we're piled large stock of -four
barrels, with the motto, "Give rs the
wheat. and We will feed the world"
In front of the Nicollett house, facing
on washington avenue, q grand stand,
with accommodations for 1000 people,
had been erected and deliberately deco
rated for the distinguished visitors.
From this elevated position the guests
had magnificent view of the dsoora-
tons on the opposite side of the street.
Conspicuous among them we're large pic
lures of Willard and Jay Gould, hand
sOm ely decorated in flowers and ever
greens, large paintings representing the
scenery along the Northern Pacific road.
The news that President Arthur, Gener-
ais Grant and Sheridan, and Secretary
Lincoln would be present, had spread
far and wide, and trains coming into
the city we're jammed and crowded to
their utmost capacity. 1t is estimated
that fully 10000 visitors we're in the city
oday.
At 30 carriages containing President
Willard and guests we're driven up to the
