the balloon was first seen to burst, it

The parachute arrangement attached

When she regained her senses she

the beautiful eight disclosed to view
that she commenced taking notes and
writing down her impressions when
the melton of the balloon suddenly
changed. The balloon sheered around
from its course and appeared to be
trying to go in two different direc-

Some Of the words Of Abraham
Lincoln, spoken in his first inaugural
address, SAYS the Lynehburg Tir-
ginian, seem now about to be fulfill
ed. At all events, they will be ac-
cepted in o very different spirit at this
time from that feeling of derision and
seorn with which many Of the people
of the South receive everything that
fell from the lips Of the man who
was regarded then as the enemy Of
their section. We have often won
dered how that uncOuth looking man,
the coarse joker who spent some Of
the years of his early life among the
rude boatmen Of the West, and near
" all OF it on the froatier, could origi-
nate the beautifully poetic idea con-
tanned in the subjoined extract, and
the still more striking aRd eloquent
passage found in his address at the
dedication Of the Gettysburg ceme-
tery-a passage which, for beauty Of
diction, we venture TO say, is not sur
passed by anything in the English
language. But to the words Of the
inaugural. Mr.. Lincoln said:


Eve are not enemies, but friends
We must not be eEemies-though
passion may have strained, it must
not break our bonds Of affection.
The mystic chords Of memory,
stretching from every battlefield and
patriot grave to every living heart
and hearthstOue all over this broad
land, will ret swell the chorus Of the
Union when again touched, as surely
they viii be, by the better angels Of
our nature. y

The aspect of the political situation
has changed very materially within
the past three weeks. When BID
WELL was placed in the field by the
Independents it was universally con-
ceded that his strength before the
people was more than double that OF
PHELPS the Republican nominee. So
popular did he appear that our san
guine Independents indulged in the
hope that he would be elected. This
of course was impossible from the
first, but there is no doubt but that at
an early period of the campaign BID
WELL would have polled many more
votes than he could now or will on the
first of September. His supporters
have fallen away. At first by ones
and twos, but of late by fifties and
hundreds until there are but few left.
No leader ever decimated his ranks so
rapidly before going into action as
General BIDwELL. His speeches kill
more of his own men than fall by the
arguments of his opponents. They
are worse than combined attack of
cholera, yellow fever and small pox.
They are potent for driving men out
of the Independent party. The result
is that PHELPS who at one time was
likely to be distanced in the race, will
now come in ahead of BIDwELL. 1t
is probable that IRWIN will distance
both PHELPS and BIDwELL but no
matter how far behind PHELPS is
when IRWIN crosses the line, BID
WELL will be behind PHELPS. Wher-
ever BIDwELL is seen and heard the
people are convinced that he does not
possess the first qualification befitting
him for Governor. Mr.. BIDwELL
will not carry this State, he will not
poll as many votes as PHELPS and the
chances are almost even that the
combined vote of BIDwELL and
PHELPS will not greatly exceed that
polled for Governor IRWIN.

What farmers there are in Colorado,
says letter writer, are fighting grass
hopperS with water, and fire, and smoke,
and death-dealing ambuscades, and engines
of destruction. OF all these the "grass-
hopper hell is the most popular and per-
haps the most eficacious. Its name gives
a very good conception Of its practical
workings. \ long sheet-iron box, open at
the top, is swung close to the ground be
tween two wheels by which it is moved
over the field Rising two or three feet
above the top Of the box, and bending
forward from the rear, is broad sheet Of
tin or sheet-iron. When in use fire is
built in the bottom of the furnace, which
is then pushed against the wind, the over
hanging wing or sail taking the hoppers as
they rise and feeding them to the flames in
hurry. Sometimes miniature windmill
is added to the outfit, and sucks in all the
locusts for yards and yards around, de-
stroying them by millions. Millions more
have been drowned in irrigating bitches by
cunningly devised traps which prevent
| their escape from the water. While they
were young and green, and before their
wings were grown, several tons of them
were destoyed by a confidence game which
deserves description. Between the young
hoppers and the young wheat long rows Of
dry straw were strewn, which soon became
literally black and alive with the wrigglin2
little insects. When no more hoppers could
be accommodated, the straw was fired
Another device was to drag over the hopper
infested regions a talpaulin plentitully
coated on the under side with coal tar
which is instant death to the pests, Still
with all those disadvantages against them
grasshoppers are apparently as numerous
| as ever.
