Il CHICAGO DISCOVERY.

And there came out of the smoke
locusts upon the earth; and unto them
was given power, as the scorpions of
the earth have power. And 1t was
commanded them that they should not
hurt the grass Of the earth, neither
any green thing. neither any tree, but
only those men which have not the seal
of God upon their foreheads. And to
them it was given that they should not
kill them, but that they should be tor
mented five months: and their torment
was as the torment of scorpion when
he striketh a man"
These words are from the ninth chap
ter of the Book of Revelations, and if
you will believe 1t Chicago preacher
has discovered that they foretold "the
kissing bug" When this preacher
asked his wondering flock how many
OF them realized that this was so one
trusting man raised his hand. This
performance indicates what can be
done in Chicago.

HE DIDN'T KNOW.

Robert G. Ingersoll Is dead, and
everybody who reads the news of his
death will wonder if he now knows any
more than he did when on earth. When
he began to publicly proclaim his ag-
Mysticism he was looked upon by many
as a very wicked and very dangerous
man. He made large stir at one time,
and incidentally made money out of It,.
Lately he has not been very conspicu-
GUS as a "foe to Christianity" He was
much misunderstood, as free thinkers
are apt to be, and he was charged with
much Of which he was not guilty. He
lived respectfully and kindly, and he
had the good things of this life He
was not certain that there is any other
life, and if he should find there was he
did not expect to be punished for his
lack of knowledge about it, or his eff
forts to clear away what he thought
were clouds of superstition. His case
was an interesting and conspicuous
one, and his death lends new interest
to it. There will be much guessing and
no certainty about what has happened
to him.

LOBSTERS.

If any men deserve to be called lob
sters those men who have made Holsters
scarce deserve It, What has been going
on is illustrated by the ruin Of the lob
ster-f1shing industry on the coast Of
Maine. Ten years ago an experienced
Machias Bay lobster trapper, with
twenty traps could take from the water
200 Holsters per day, which We're sold at
five cents each, the fisherman realizing
Under these conditions this class of la
borers along the shore prospered, their
homes We're kept in good repair, and
they were solvent in all business trans
actions. This, however did not satisfy;
the twenty-trap system was increased
to fifty, and in some cases to one hun
dred; the old sail sn1acks were put
aside, and the improved steam-well
smacks took their place The increase in
the catch was so enormous that the lob
ster could not mature sufficient to hold
its own. Legislation prohibiting the
taking Of Holsters under a certain
measurement was obtained, but the
large lobster over ten inches is left I'M
protected by the law, and the scarcity
of this particular kind of shell fish has
increased the value until the present
prices which the smacks are Offering the
trap owners are ranging from 20
cents to 27 cents apiece. Notwithstand-
ing this high price, the fishermen are
unable to exist upon the products of
this branch of business alone, and it is
believed that only a close season for
term of years will make the industry
profitable again.

EXPANSION IN BOSTON,,

Boston Is puffed up over the way her
export business is growing and there
is reason for her swelling. The total
value of the exports Of Boston for the
year ending June 80 was SIPS, 037, 1889, a
gain of 100000 for the year. Boston
exported nearly $27 100000 of bread
stuffs, an increase over the preceding
year of IS per cent. All the other prin-
cipal ports in the United States show
a decrease, with the sole exception of
Philadelphia, which increased per
cent. over the preceding year. The de-
crease at New York was % per cent,
at Baltimore 20 per cent, Newport
News q per cent, New Orleans 3S per
cent, and San Francisco 70 per cent.
OF provisions, Boston exported nearly
SIS, 900, 900 in value, as compared with
$S4 900, 900 in New York, $22, 100000 in
Baltimore, $9,000000 in PHILADELPHIA,
and smaller amounts at other ports
There was no appreciate change in
the distribution of these exports among
the various ports, as compared with
the preceding year. AS to cotton, the
showing is somewhat remarkable The
exports at Boston We're 1872, 900 bales,
valued at $12,150, 900, an increase over
the previous year of 20 per cent. On
the other hand, the exports Of cotton at
New York decreased rs per cent, at

exports of this staple from the country
as a whole was II per cent.
Pretty good for a city that is charged
with being too sentimental too Gull
tured, too anti expansion, etc, etc. There
will be no protest from the Antrim

Results of the contest in the South
between the square cotton bale and the
round bale will be learned early in the
fall, when the heavy shipments begin.
It is three-cornered fight, between
the old congresses and two kinds of
round baling, one a packed bale, and
the other wrapping about core. On
the eastern seaboard the struggle, ac-
cording to the Charleston News and
Courier, is between the round COM
pressed bale and the square bale, with
the Inman interests behind the former,
and offering inducements for cotton
packed by that system. Each side APP
pears to be confident of the result.
Nearly every steamer from Boston
brings one or more round-bale presses
consigned to persons in Georgia But
there is no diminution in the orders
placed for the bagging and ties for the
old stvle of bale. The jute bagging
used in the old square bale is not used
in packing the round bale, but a closer
knit cloth, like that placed about bales
of dry-goods, is the style.
