TIE EXPOSITION.

We are all preparing for the big show
at the Exposition, ana we are not going
to be disappointed either. We are 60
ing to see the erandest electric display
that has ever been exhibited in the
United States. That is enough to make
every one feel good. The Edison cleo
trio exhibit, which was the centre of at.
traction at the Paris exposition. and
which carried off all the gold medals for
such exhibits, will be seen in Minneap-
oils In few days in all the splendOr of
the Paris view. People travelled from
the four corners Of the globe to see that
exhibit, and they all confessed that it
was the grandest display they had ever
seen. This Of course will he the leading
feature IF exposition this year. There
will be several other electric exhibits
which will be wonders in themselves.
The leading modern improvements hav-
inc electricity as q motive power, will
be represented as we'll. In addition to
these there will be thousands OF other
equally interesting attractions which
eYery Minneapolis man should see. We
often look upon such Things from .

RANDOM REFLECTIONS.

"A diver who was working at the foun-
dalton of railroad bridge near Boise
City, Idaho, gave signal to be hoisted
quickly. When he got to the surface he
held fast sixty-fve pound salmon that
he had caught by the gills.' That diver
''caught ON with a vengeance. If some
of Minneapolis men who go fishing
could strike such luck everyone in the
city would hear of it in twenty-four hours.

THE LETTER HOME.

.
Merrily DER the tossing sea
The gallant vessel flies,
Her hope is in the tickle waves.
The laughing wind and skies;
Her silver track, it stretches back
With purple weeds and foam,
And echoes of her Tapping sails
\ Breathe in the letter home?
The sailor, brown with sun and brine,
The hardy, bold and free,
He trolls song in every port,
A Jest for all has he:
Nor here nor there is now his care, ..
Ills heart forsakes the main,
And with fond familiar speech
Turns to its own again!
Once more before his dreamy gaze
The low green hills appear,
The pond where sailed his painted feet,
The friendly roof and dear;
The walks are gay with rose and bay,
With pinks and pansies dim,
And there the wrinkled mother waits
Whose thoughts are all for him.
Merrily DER the bounding sea r.
The gallant vessel flies,
But wars and perils range the deep,
And clouds and tempests rise.
And many wrack and whirlwind black
Is sent to those who roam,
Then blessings on the joyful day
That bears a letter home.

How to DESTROY Moths.

Close all the windows and doors
leading from the room about to I'M
dergo treatment, open each drawer
and closet, and hang the contents
over chairs or upon clotheshorse
brought into the room for the occa-
sion. Take piece of gum-camphor,
as large as hazel-nut for an .ordi-
nary room (as large as walnut for
a room 20 by 16), put it in an iron
pot and place the latter within an
other iron pot Or upon an iron stand,
Set fire to the camphor. It burns
very fercely, SO setit at a safe distance
from furniture or hangings; the mid
die of the room is the best place for it,
unless this be directly under a chan
delier, in which case it can be placed
more toward the side. as the heat is
apt to injure the gliding or bronze.
The dense smoke soon permeates
every nook and corner and suffocates
every insect that inhales it. Canary
birds or goldfish are to be carried from
the room before beginning operations,
and as soon as the campher begins
to burn the operator may leave the
room, as, provided she has taken the
above precautions, there will be no
danger Of the fire spreading. The

Safe Blowing Extraordinary.

Capt. William A. Pinkerton, the
noted detective, having seen that two
burglars ofhis professional acquaint-
ance were advertised to blow open a
safe on the stage in five minutes,
went to the theatre one night in Chi
cago recently and told them that
they could not do it in five. They
declared they could. Thereupon he
puts $500 in the safe; they did the
same, and he locked it with his own
combination. ''If you get the safe
open in five minutes" he said sthe
money is yours. If you don't, it S
mine" He then stationed himself at
the wings, watch in hand, and waited
for the burglary scene. The cue Civ
en-, they jumped through the window
and set vigorously to work.
In two minutes the diamond drill
had bored through the steel door.
Then q powder blower was inserted,
the bellows set to going, the crevices
around the door puttied, and the
crank drill was cutting the hinges.
The fuse was inserted; wet blanket
hung over the door, and the match
struck. AS Pinkerton's watch show
ed the passage of three minutes and
forty-eight-seconds there was flash
from the safe, a cloudle5 of smoke, a
heavy Jar and the massive door fell
on the stage. The detective remark

around the country for thirty years
and I thought I knew something
about the business But this is the
first time ever heard of safe being

with whom was one of the officers
from the barracks.
1t was fearful to behold the wild
look which the young man fixed
upon Capt. Fenton. Not once dur
ing the preparations did his eyes
wander from his brothers slayer.
While the pistols were being loaded,
Mr.. Martins whispered to him:
Don't lose q moment when the
signal is given. Aim low; it is your
only cllance!''
"No," replied the only man loudly;
Il shall strike him full in the head
1t is notknown whether this speech
reached his opponents ears, and in
some measure disconnected him. 1t
is believed that the steady gaze OF
the young man, who thirsted to
avenge his BROTHERS death, was not
without effect. Certain it is that
Capt. Fenton did not take his place
with his customary assurance.
The men were posted. The rest
retired to a suitable distance, leav-
ing the combatants steadily gazing
at each other. A minute or two Of
terrible suspense followed, during
which brief space the silence
Of death reigned over the spot.
Then the signal was given, and, al
most simultaneously, the two re-
ports were heard. For few seconds
the smoke prevented the spectators
from ascertaining the result, but as
it slowly rose they saw old Mr.. Mar
tin standing erect and firm, while
Capt. Fenton was stretched full
length upon the ground.
Both the seconds FASTENED toward
their principals. The two men from
the barracks also ran to Mr.. Martins
side, and eagerly inquired if he was
hurt. They found the old gentle
man bleeding slightly at the neck,
but he carelessly brushed the blood
away with the back of his hand.
Then, turning with a kindly manner
toward the youth whom he had risk
ed his life to save. he said simply:

Capt. Fenton's second now advanc-
ed and announced that his man was
dead. The bullet had penetrated the
left temple. He requested their assist
ance in removing the body. This
they readily granted, but Mr.. Martin
and his young friend held aloof. AS
the Others raised the dead man they
noticed a peculiar hardness and stiff
ness about the body. On tearing
open the garments of the deceased a
cry of horror and rage broke from
them. They found concealed beneath
his clothing tight-ftting coat ofmail.
The cause of his having escaped I'M
injured in so many duels was now fully
explained. He had evidently provid-
ed himself with this defense from the
old armony which his mansion con-
tanned. Though doubtless not per-
fectly bullet proof, yet in nine CAGES
out Of ten ball was almost sure to
glance off the network of steel.
AS to Mr.. Martin, his fame as a
marksman soon spread far and wide.
People were exceedingly cautious ia
what they said and how they acted
toward the old gentleman. None
ventured to trife with one who was
known to be a dead shot. True Flag.
