Guess What 1t Is ana Take One

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The commits
sioner of agriculture has issued bulletin
prepared by Prof. c. V. Riley, the en-
tomologist of the department, upon The
Periodical Cicada. In his letter of trans
INITIAL Prof. Riley says: ''On account of
the concurrence the present year of two ex-

one seventeen year and the other a thir-
teen-year brood, the inquiries in reference
to this insect will be numerous and have, in

An Editors Peregrination.

Last week the tired editor, after laboring hard in the vineyard, con. cluded that he would go out among the bretheren. While down in the Dry Fork neighborhood we preach ed at Ebenezer, and accompanied Brother Sam Hayfoot home to din ner. There were several brother en present, and among them we were pleased to notice old Brother lShopwell. He is an old servant of the Lord. and, had the smallpox kept out ot his way, we think that his countenance would haveescap- ed a great wrong. Old Sister Hayfoot, kind reader, knows how to get up good dinner. She has our idea of cooking cabbage, for, like us, she thinks that they should be boiled until all of their brittle ness mtltS Into the everlasting pot. After having served the inner man we again assembled in the sitting room, where Sister Stoveall favor ed us with hymn and 75 cents, for which she wanted six months subscription. One dollar would have struck us with a little more warmth, but in these days of sin and hard times a half loaf is much better than Boston cracker. Bro.

Had Thrown out Hints.

A subscriber sends up'the follow. ing, which he alleges occurred rec ently on the line of the Central Railroad. We will not vOuch for the .truthfulness of the incident, but it is so much akin to human nature that we publish it: Whena Texas father found out that his son John was sparkling certain farmers daughter for year or more without settling the question, he called him out behind the stack and said 10 him;
 John, do you love Susan Tin keri'
 'I guess l do, dad"
 "And does she love youf
 "That's what I dunno, and Pm afraid to ask her"
 Well, you'd better throw out 2 few hints tonight and find out. It's no rse wearing out boot leather un- less you're going to marry her."
 That night at ten o'clock John came home a wreck His face all scratched up, his ear was bleeding. his hat gone, and his back was GOV cred with mud.
 "John! John. what on airth is the matter?" exclaimed the old man, laying down his paper.
 "Bin over. to Tinkers," was the reply.

To President Grover Cleveland:

To President Grover Cleveland:
 DnAR SIR:-The painful duty of turning over the administration of these United States and the key to the front door of the White House has been assigned to mo. You will find the key hanging inside the storm-door and the cistern-pole up- stairs in the haymow of the barn.
 1 have made a great many sug- gestions to the outgoing sadminis- tration relating to the transfer Of the Indian bureau from the interi- or to that of the sweet by and by. The Indian, l may say, has been q great sourse of annoyance to me, several of their number having jumped one of my valuable min ing claims on White River. Still, I do not complain of that. This mine, however, 1 am convinced, would be good paying property, if properly worked, and should you at any time wish to take the regu- lar army and such othe, help as you may need and ro-capture it from our red brothers I would be glad to give you a controlling inter- est in i..
 You will find all papers in their appropriate pigeon-holes, and small jar ofcucumber pickles down celler, which were left over and to which you arc perfectly welcome. The immediate results of hot and unusually bitter campaign are now all buried. Take these pickles and use them as though they were your own. You deserve them. We may differ politically,b but that need not interfere with our warm personal friendship.
 You will observe. on taking po- fsession of the administration, that the navy is little bit weather-beat en and wormy 1 would suggest that it be newly painted in the spring. If it had been my good fortune 10 receive majority of the sullragcs of the people for the office which you now hold, l should have painted the navy red. Still, that need not inf uence you in the course which you may see fit to adopt.
 1 hope you will receive the tore. going in friendly spirit, and what ever your convictions may be upon great questions of national inter tercst, either foreign or domestic, that you will not undertake to blow ont the gas on retiring and that you will in other ways realize the fond anticipations which are now cherished in your behalf by a mighty people whose aggregate eye is now on you.

As one reads the huctuating tele-
graph dispatches relative to the
impending troubles between Rus
sia and England, the belief be-
comes fairly settled that whatever
the outcome of the matter may be,
a shrewd gang Of London sharpers
are making money hand over FIST,
gambling on the changing charac-
ter of the dispatches. In addition
to this there is hardly any doubt
that the money sharpers have such
underground connections with
Government officials that they are
able twelve hours in advance TO
speculate to a certainty. 1t IS not
assuming too much to believe that
many Of the exciting dispatches
are directly manufactured by the
sharpers to influence the price OF
securities. After all big war IN
Europe means commercial activity
in everything, an excitement that
will make money jingle over the
counters Of the tradesmen, and
whirl through the channels OF sale
and barter until the country will
seem alive with gold Every bomb
that bursts along the Baltic will
bring the comforts of life to some
artisans home in England or Amer
lea. Every charging squadron
means opulence to contractors aud
supply agents, and every ball that
finds a vital part in soldiers anat'
omy, means lessening of popula
ton and place to be supplied by
some hungry man. It is the bust
ness stagnation in the two coun'
tries that is making much OF thu
war talk. Both countries have Z
tremendous surplusage of idle mer
who are clamoring for bread, and I
chance to work.

its usual auxilleries OF famine ane
