GRASsHOPPERS COM ING EAST.

WAsHINGToN,D c., Aug. 15.-Owing
to rumors of injuries by grasshoppers
in parts OF Montana, the signal bureau
has, at Prof Riley's request, instructed
its agents in the northwest to telegraph
at once the observations of injury or
movements instead of sending them
monthly as heretofore. Prof Riley has
also sent an agent to the field whose
reports confirm the previous state
ments. Not only are there large num-
bcrs of the destructive Rocky noun
tain. species at work, but common
native and non-migratory species are
also much more numerous than usual.
At the Fort Bnford and Popular agen-
cies locusts are very abundant and are
damaging crops. On July 27, during
the middle of the day, large proper
ton of the Rocky mountain species left
toward the east and southwest.

The Miller and the Maid.

A-back Of patient Dobbin, -,
The farmers daughter rides to mill,
And mocks the thrush and robin.
For saddle she's sack of grain.
She sidewise sits and chffrups;
A finger in old Dobbfn's name
Is good az forty stirrups. u.
The miller comes "a merry bisde!-
And doffs his hat and greets her
"What wish you here, my pretty mxid?'

"Not 1, we're poor. alsck! sir:
But take your toll "a tenth, l wi>t-

And with her apron fingered.

THE REFLECTING SOUL
On hotel piazza of morning, when
tired of specializing on the horizontal
extent of bustles, can soliloquize re-
garding wrappers. Mother Hubbards
flourish, yet for the piazza it is better
to belt at the back by a sash ribbon
with ends flowing at the side. In no
case, however, SO indisputably proper
as the wrapper of princesse shape with
Vatican plait extending all the way at
the back, and loose in front or partly
fitted all around. As to material, we
see pretty nearly rything, according
as the thermometer goes down or up.
Flannels, light wool, silk, muslin, null
or all over embroidery, one in this last
style made princesse shape, having
been worn lately by member of Jay
GOuld's family.
SASH WAISTS
Are among the prettiest of summer
ideas. A broad sash ribbon, sometimes
in gay Roman colors, or, again, in dark
stripes, is made into a waist and worn
with SKIRT of some other, but, of
course, harmonizing material. Lace
skirts, either black or white, are pecul-
iarly adapted to these cosuettish
hodices, because lace sleeves frequently
replace those of silk, and thus there is
a pretty uniformity with the advantage
OF showing rounded arm. A youth
ful member of Cyrus Fields family,
recently appeared in a charming outfit
composed of Roman sash ribbon
waist with black lace sleeves and skirt,
Roman sash to match. Her cousin
wore blue striped sash waist with
white lace skirt and sleeves. Hear,
shaped necks are often seen this season,

The Missouri Bond-sale Mares Nest.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Mr. Kohn, of Kohn,
Pepper 81 Co.. of this city, says the statements
in regard 10 that firms transactions with the
fund commissioners of Missouri are absurd and
altogether misleading AS matter of fact, he
says, the bonds were sold by tho firm to the
State through the commissioners, and the firm
was in no sense the agents of the State When
they had offered them to the commissioners, and
the price was satisfactory, they were accepted
He also called attention to the fact
that the average price Of Missouri
skies of 1886 was, in 1884, 104 a 1861
and very few sold below 106 and not at par, is
reported; skies of 1887 averaged los % 1919 and
of 1888, LOG 0l09s. Mr.. Kohn says that, as a
matter of course. they made money by the
transactions but there was nothing irregular,
nor can any fault be found with anybody, in his
Judgment in regard to the matter, when the
facts are known. He says it is impossible to
obtain large quantities Of inactive securities of
any class at the price at which they are quoted
nominally on the Stock Exchange from day to
that il would be impossible to obtain 81, 000, 900
of Missouri skies at published quotations.

idle gurface rumors. They reflect what is much
moro profoundly felt than 10 expressed in The
House, and the probability is that the estrange-
ment of the two houses is likely to eliminate in
an obstinate conflict at an early day. 1t has
been escaped this session, and the Mills resolu-
ton was the fitful fash of the coming storm.
This deep-seated estrangement of Senate and
House is the source or much of the muttering
against the Cabinet that takes three of its mem
beTS from the list of senator's There is a pauS-
ible il not just conviction prevalent in the House
that the Senate is not in sympathy with the new
President; that its devotion to the interests of
wealth is in conflict with Clevelands democratic
sentiments and purposes and that the leading
senators called to the Cabinet, while admittedly
of Democratic faith are not in sympathy with
the popular elements OF the party or the coun-
try. The facts that the Democratic Senators
were almost, if not entirely, solid against Ceve-
land at Chicago; that most of them went in
senatorial party to the national convention to
nominate Bayard as the representative of the
senatorial theory of government, and that three
OF the ablest of the senators who are alleged to
be in sympathy with the policy of contempt for
che popuiarsbranch of the government, and for
popular ideas in party direction are daily quoted
with considerable feeling by Democratic repre-
sentatives. They not only charge that the SEN
atoral theory of administering power has become
dangerous to the truo theory of popular govern
ment, butthey charge that most of these Demo
cratic senators have set the example of
collision with Republican power by soliciting
and receiving many appointments for relatives
and friends, and are therefore committed to the
continued collision Of Democratic power with
Republican senators In short the charge is
that the combination of wealth and social power
in the Senate is above party faith and party OBJ

The precedent of Lincoln choosing three Sena-
tors for his Cabinet in 1861, Messrs Seward,

Causes of the Growth of tho Estrangement
Between the Senate and House.
A. X. Mcclure IN Philadelphia Times.
The growing enlargement between the Sen
ate and the House intensifes opposition to the
new Cabinet in certain quarters. For some
years past, especially when Senate and House
have been under opposing party control, the al
legged encroachment of the Senate upon the pre-
negatives of the House and the alleged dscour-
tesy exhibited by the Senate toward the popular
branch have gradually widened and deepened
unfrendly inclinations toward the Senate. The
motion of Mills, on Monday, formally reseutng
the assignment Of the House in the inaugural
ceremonies, was admittedly foolish and child
ishly petulant; but the vote IL received, even ia
face of the improperly of tho movement, proved
how deeply seated is the resentment against the
Senate. It is openly stated by members of the
House that the old time custom of Senators
dropping into the House socially and keeping in
pleasant personal as we'll as In legislative accord
with the immediate representatives of the people
is falling into dsuSe. A senator is now seldom
seen on the floor of the House. and there is some
reason for the complaint that the Senate often
assumes to invade the distinct prerogatives OF
the House in important legislation In this con-
nection it is freely stated by members of the
House that the Senate is rapidly becoming the
distinct representative body of the great fortune
and monopoly interests Of the country; that with
rare exceptions only men OF great fortune can at
tain seats in the Senate; that the body s steadily
and surely drifting from the interests OF the
people to the exclusive interests of wealth.
speculation aud monopoly, and that these pc
culiar qualities of the Senate now assume 60
dominate not only in the political policy
of the government but also in the SOCIAL sur
roundings OF national authority. 1t is claimed
that the distinctive class that now controls the
Senate regards the peculiar interests it repre-
sents as paramount to party, and that Repub-
leans and Democrats cease to be party men and
act in unity when their speculative or social i'm
tercsts are threatened, regardless Of party con
nections or obligations. These arc not mere
