Millions of Crickets.
dallas Naval

For the past three years about the mid
die of August Dallas was visited by a
fight OF small hard-shell beetles, which at
night would strew themselves over the
sidewalks and occasionally crawl down the
backs of passers-by. This year there has
been q change in the programme. and in
stead of beetles there has come vista
ton of crickets OF the singing variety,
which has been immortalized by the poet
who wrote The Cricket on the Hearth "
A single cricket hidden away behind a
large friedrich occasionally touches a ten
der chord, but when tho horny-looklng
things cluster by millions, frying IN the
electric lights and crawling over the side
walks. the idea of the poetic gives way to
that of the hldeous. The creatures seemed
to descend from the clouds. as if attracted
by the electric lights while migrating in
tie upper regions Of the atmosphere.
The dip OF their descent was toward the
south, indicating that they came from the
north.

ever. that he should certainly discover tns
difficulty.
But he was deeply discouraged. All tne
day and night he pondered and examineu
and tested and tried to move the ms-
chinery. But still It remained motioniess;
At length, heart sick and weary, he leaned
his head against the machine and fell asleep
As he slept he heard distinctly cheerfui,
friendly voice saying, why don't you
chalk the bands, Sam" He started UP.
broad awake, and knew at once that
slight friction in the working of the ma
chine was what was wanting, and again
summoning his friends he saw in the
smooth action of the jenny the trium.
plant result of his work. II is pleasant
story, and the Slater legend ID not an in-
vention, unless MIR. Slater deceived hiIn-
self.

CHICAGO, September 6.--The Ecening
Journal says: The Central Georgia and
East Tennessee has. it is reported, pull
chased the Louisville, New Albany and
Chicago road-the Monon system--and
made it q part of its great southeastern
system. This gives it a terminal line into
Louisville over popular road. and thus
enables 1t to fight its strongest rival. the
Louisville and Nashville; also line into
Chicago. making powerful triangular sys-
TEN from such southern points as Rich

BOOM FOR THE TERMINAL.
The Monon's position makes the West
Point Terminal powerful competitor in
Chicago with the several big systems that
now control southern freights to and from
the Northwest.
IL is rumored that the Louisville and
Nashville will secure The Marietta and
North Georgia contract calling for 40 per
