Mr.. Ell. Gilbert of Mankato relates
an interesting incident which he wit
messed at Sioux Falls few days since.
A man entering the hotel where Mr..
Guilbert was stopping inquired in ra-
ther an offensive tone how 'old Grant"
was getting along: A pleasant looking
dignified appearing gentlemen sitting
there reading a paper replied quietly
that General Grant, was getting bet
ter. ''Well," said the newcomer, "if
he had got his just deserts he would
have been shot long ago.. At that the
the quiet old gentleman arose laid
down the paper he had been reading,
put away his spectacles, stepped delib-
erately up to the inquirer after old
Grants health and Knocked him down
fiat and hard. The fellow scrambled
up and "lit out while the old gentle
man put on his glasses again and quiet
ly resumed his reading. There was
not word spoken, says Mr.. Gilbert.
1t was an occasion where actions spoke
louder than words.

Red Sunsets.

Professor Kiessling, of Hamburg, has
given especial attention to the famous
sunset question, and during the past
year has devised number of expert
ments for illustrating the action of min
ute solid or liquid particles on sunlight,
by which sky colors are produced. He
has lately summarized his result in a
pamphlet, entitled .'Die dammerungs-
erscheinungen in jahre 1883 und ihre
physicalische erklarung.'' Difraction
is considered the most important opti-
cal process that contributes to the re-
sult,as the dull reddish ring around the
MONDAY sun, the horizon colors at sun
set, and the purple and other glows
half an hour later, are all ascribed to
this action. The explanation Of the
purple and pinkish glows is especially
apt and ingenious, and more to the
point than any other solution of the
question that has been presented. An
important supplement- to his pamphlet
describes the construction of an appar-
atus designed to illustrate his .explana-
tons experimentally. He is q strong
supporter Of the volcanic origin Of the
particles on which the diffracting wa
lter-particles have conde Science.

New Ulm weekly review., 1885-07-01

The marriage and divorce laws of
Pennsylvania have come under clerical
condemnation. Bishop Howe having
denounced them in the severest terms
at the recent meeting of the Central
Diocesan Conyocation in that State.
ln.thecourse of his address he said it
was slime ''that an organized attempt
shoulG be made by Christian men to alb
rogate these licentious laws which breed
iniquities. The laws of church and
State should be in harmony with the
law Of God. Have we not, in easy al.
yorces and frequent remarriaees. . he
added, '.polygamy as bad in essence,
though not so openly proclaimed, as
that among the Mormons?n These
laws, which the good bishop denounces,
are not q whit worse than those in oper.
alton in most Of the Western States.
The evil is generally admitted but the
way to secure their modification is
beset with difficulties.

W. j. Chamberlain, the Ohio statis-
tlclan, in May estimated the general
wheat crop at 800, 600, 900 bushels. His
June estimate is 27o,o0O,0oo, and he
says further: ''The wheat failure is
the most disastrous for twenty years,
and their is no use denying it, or letting
the public down gently to the knowl-
edge of it." With all these dismal es-
Inmates and predictions the markets do
not seem to sympathize at present to
any great extent, but higher prices
must inevitably result from the dimin-
ished yield.

months of the present fiscal year,
amount to $103, 697, 164, which is de-
crease of $8,620,414 over the same

Is owing largely to the reduction in the

Tho Locust Plaque Scare.

WARRINGTON, July lS.-Since the
latter days of May last alarming re-
ports of swarms of young locusts or
grasshoppers in the valley of the Ar
kansas river and in other portions oi
the State of Colorado have been pull
ished, and fear was expressed that
Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri woulC.
be visited by an invasion OF Rocky
Mountain locusts-melanoplu spre-
tus. Under the direction OF Professor
Riley, Mr.. Lawrence Bruner, the Ne
braaka agent of tho Department OF Ag.
rlcuture, has visited portions OF Col
orado, from whence the reports came.
His report has just been received
and is of such q nature
as TO allay all fears. Tho principal
parts were from Salida, Rice, Canon
City and Pueblo. During his s0iourn
in the State he visited all points along
the line OF the Denver q South Park
Railroad, between Denver aud Lead
vile, aud from Leadvile he followed
down the Arkansas River, stopping at
Buena Vista, Salida and Canon City,
and thence going to Granite, Pine
Creall, Garros and Como. In every To-
cality visited from which grasshoppers
were reported, II was found that the
number had been greatly exaggerated
and in no case was migratory the spe-
cies found. All reports arose from
rather undue abundance of the native
species and which are present overy
year, most OF which have for their pre-
ferred food plants in the shape of
wild growths and noxious weeds.
