The village OF Ellsworth has been visited
by remarkable plague of flies, which sim.
ultaneously covered an area of one mile. At
some places It was impossible TO move with
out closing the eyes and mouth. Around
every lamp in the town the spectacle was
most curious. Attracted by the light, thick
swarms abounded, and their buzz resembled
that Of . hive of bees. At the postofiice,
where the upper portion Of the door Is open
for ventilation, and where necessarily the
light Is kept burning till early morning, the
Insects covered the sorting boards, letters
and bags, and had to be continually swept
of with frushes. At one lamp they simply
hung down In clusters. In the window of
the Office they are now to be seen In thick
buRches. Bicyclists coming from Havant
were in several instances compelled TO slight,

The Salt Lake Tribune of August % has
the returns of the election held on the first
Monday Of August for members of the Leg.
stature and county officers. The result Is
rather discouraging to the opposition. Out
Of total vote Of Is AIS the opposition only
cast 1,795, and more than half OF this was
in Summit county, the only one carried by
them out of23. In IL counties not an oppo
stion vote was Cast. Even Tooele, that used
to be carried against the Mormons, has gone
over TO the majority. In Salt Lake the vote
stood 4,451 Mormon to $50 opposition.
There Is not much comfort in these figures
and not much sign that the power of the
priesthood has been Northumberland.
The discovery has been made that Nor
mon missionaries do not let their foreign
converts know Of the polygamous doctrine

"Last, but not least" said my friend, "the
Territory will be admitted TO the Union,
with Montana, and 1t will not be divided.
The Territory will be admitted with Bis
marck As Its Capital, and such 1t will remain
forever. The only thing that can break
down Bismarck would be railroad combin-
alton, and that will never be made. As
soon - the Territory becomes State you
will see the Chicago q Northwestern and the
Milwaukee & St. Paul making . gigantic
race for Bismarck. They will build more
miles Of road In less time than was ever be-
fore known In the world. They can't get
there too soon. Before Mr.. Cleveland has
been President one year he will have an op-
portunity to sign, and will sign, the bill ad-
hitting Dakota and Montana 10 the Union.
Bismarck will be the Capital. "-Intsruiep !;

Roland Reed tells this story In regard to
himself: ain one Of my ne-night stands
last year, was much astonished on going
to register at the hotel, to have the clerk,
WHOM. had never seen before In my life, |
hold on. bis hand and greet me with
hearty, How are you, old man! Glad to |
see you again. answered him with CON-
mensurate cordially, and on going to my |
room found 1t Of palstial nsture-a beau
tiful apartment, bath room and long tables |
disposed against the wall. The entire outfit |
appeared too extravagantly rich for my cir |
culation, and was evidently . mistake. / |
returned to the Office and accosted the clerk |
with the query: who did you think / WASP
why, your name Is Singleton, isn't 1t |? !
NO, sir my name IL Reed-Roland Reed

amazement the clerk whispered tremblingly,
'Good God! I'll have to change your room.

This Is one Of the curious things floating
about: Take . piece of paper, and upon It
put in figures your age In yesis, dropping
months, weeks and days. Multiply 1t by
two; then add to the result obtained the
figures 3,76S; add two, and then divide by
two. Subtract from the result obtained the
number Of your years on earth, and see II
you do not obtain figures that you will not
be likely 10 forget.-Scientifc american.
