There are, after all, some advan

this country from a truly paternal
system of government Intelligence
reaches us from the National Capi
tal that Professor Thomas, of the
Smythsonl&n Institute, has for years
been studying the social and migra
tory habits of the nimble grasshop
per, under instructions of the United
States Government
According to "Old Grasshopper
Probabilities" of the Smythsonian,
farmers in the Northwest have little
to fear from a repetition of the pres
ent incursion, next year.
Grasshopper Probabilities declares
that the natural hatching place of
the voracious Insect is on the high
table lands of the plains, and that
thoso hordes which occasionally
sweep down on the prairie lands bor
dering the Missouri Valley produce
no brood the second year, and their
race ends. In view of this fact, the
chances are all against a new incur
sion next year, providing always,
that Professor Thomas knows what
he is talking about

Wfi are gratified to notice that
the City Councsl is again moving in
the matter of water works. The
proposition to invite estimates from
a competent and experienced water
works engineer is well timed. It is
to be hoped that the Council will
soon be able to lay some definite
proposition before the people of
Osaka that will insure the estab
lishment of a system of- water
works at an early day.
Mr. Horace Williams, Presi
dent, and principal owner of the
Northwestern leased lines in Iowa,
has sued out a temporary injuction
against the Chicago and North
western .-Railroad to restrain that
company from complying with the
Iowa railroad law.
Although the allegations made by
the plaintiff have not yet been pub
lished, it is believed that there are
peculiar features in this case, which
will insure a decision from the
Courts against the validity of the
Iowa law.
According to the New York
Herald the Boston merchants and
people generally have of late been
a good deal exercised about the
trade of the West Several public
meetings have been held recently,
at which the Mayor and other
prominent citizens participated.
The Boston papers are also said to
be hammering enthusiasm into the
mercantile nabobs of the Hub, for
the purpose of improving trade with
the West, which they hope to ac
complish by new railway combin
ations and liberal Inducements to
western dealers.
If the statistical reports of the
Fostofio Department may be re
lied upon, the abolition of the frank
ing privilege has proved a very
economical measure. According to
these reports the resources of the
Department have Increased over
three millions during the fiscal year
ending July 1st
Although this increase of the rev
rave may, in a measure, be due to
the extension of the money order
system, the introduction of postal
eardsv aad other reforms, there i no
doubt that over one million has been
saved fythe discontinuance of the
dead-head matting system.

In justice to the State Superin
tendent, we reproduce the article in
question, which reads as follows:
"Our exchanges in various parts
of the State are expressing their pre
ferences for a successor to .Hon,
Grandmother Tipton, as United
States Senator from Nebraska, the
choice to be made next winter by
our legislature. From a pretty
careful survey of the whole fiefd, we
ore inclined to think that Governor
Furnas is and should, bf tfie "com
ing man." As a practical printer,
and an able and popular editor, he
will cheerfully receive the support
of the press ; as a model Governor,
statesman, and devoted promoter
of the Agricultural, Horticultural
and best general interests of our
young State, we believe the people
and Patrons in Nebraska will find
in him the man who will best repre
sent their interests in the United
States Senate and be a worthy col
league of Senator Hitchcock, who
has hitherto been so "unequally
yoked."
Danger from Lightning.
As experience shows, danger is,
less in a crowded town than a vil
lage or in the open country, and,
naturally, the more elevated struc
tures are the most liable to be
struck. Fuller, indeed, in his
"Church History," asserts that there
scarcely ever existed a great abbey
in England which had not been, at
one time or another, wholly or par
tially destroyed by lightning, and
his citations, taken in comparison
with the records of our own times,
are certainly remarkable. In all
cases it is the spire, the tower, or the
dome which has been mutilated.
As to ordinary habitations, all sorts
of theories are in vogue on the subject
of danger and safety, borne rely on
thick glass in windows, and some
on register stoves; others recom
mend stone roofs instead of slate.
and others tell timid people that
they should live in a hollow. It
is contended on this side that there
should be the least possible admix
ture of metal in the combination of
an inhabitable structure, and on
that, that all the bells beneath the
roof should be kept continually ring
ing, just as, In obedience to an old
superstition, cannon are fiied at sea.
The mass of evidence upon this
topic, however, points to the one
conclusion already suggested, that a
good lightning conductor is the sol
itary safeguard, but that, unless
good, it is worse than none. Van

Ludicrous Effects of the Appear
ance o'f a Comet in 1712.
As everybody is on the qui rive In
regard to the comet, and as all sorts
of Ideas are "around" in regard to
it, we give the following amusing
sketch gleaned from an old paper :
"In the year 1812 Mr. Whiteon
having calculated the return of a
comet which was to make its ap
pearance on Wednesday, the 14th
of October, at five minutes after five
in the morning, gave notice to the
public accordingly, with a terrify
ing addition that a total dissolution
of the world by fire was to take
place on the Friday following. The
reputation Mr. Whltson bad long
maintained in England, both as a
divine aud a philosopher, left little
or no doubt with the populace of the
truth of his prediction.
"Several ludicrous events took
place. A number of persons hi and'
about London seized all the barges
and boats they could lay their hands
on in the Thames, very rationally
concluding that when the conflagra
tion took place, there would be the
most safety on the water. A gen
tleman who bad neglected family
prayer for better than five years, in
formed his wife that it was his de
termination to resume that laudable
practice the same evening; but his

house, persuaded her husband to put

appeared or not The South Sea.

the captain of a Dutch ship threw
all hh powder into the river, that
the ship might not be endangered.
"The next morning, However, tne
comet appeared according to the
predictions, and before noon the be
lief was universal that the Day of
Judgment was at hand. About
this time three huudred and twen-ty-three
clergymen were ferried
over to Lamlieth, it was said, to
petition that a short prayer might
be penned and ordered, there-being
none in the church service on that
occasion. Three maids ot honor

A smart city billiardist picked up
a countryman and induced him to
play a game of billiards 100 points.
The city boy took the cue and ran
the game out without a stop. The
countryman quietly laid down his
cue and started for the door. Said
the billiardist, "Here, come back
and pay for this game." "What
game?" said country. "Why, the
game we just played." "We?" said
the countryman; "we? I haint
played no billiards, as I knows of.
I guess, mister, see'n as you played
the game alone, you'd better pay
for it alone !" Whereat the roun
tryman walked out and the smart
city boy cogitated.

American makers of tinware are
now actually under-selling the
British in their own markets. This
fact a London publication, the
Engineer, announces, by way of
warning, in the following terms:
"Our Birmingham correspondent
writes to us as follows : In the tin-
plate department of the industry of
this district competition has sprung
up from an unexpected quarter.
For a long time past one of the best
customers of the British maker of
tin and terne plates has been the
United States of America. At one
time we were sending to that coun
try great consignments of tin plate
goods in varied shapes and of dif
ferent values; lately the Americans
liave learned themselves to use up
the tin plates.and now we have them
shipping tin-plate wares to this coun
try, made from the tin plates which
we have supplied them. TheUnited
States manufacturer displays an
amount of ingenuity in Invention
which is but seldom seen in Eng
land, and the handi-crnftsman in
the new world, unlike those of the
oin, are ready to adapt themselves
to a new pattern nssoon as It can be
shown that it is at all probable to be
a success. The American tin-plate
goods that are now being offered in
tirmingham and South Stafford
shire are described as simply mar.
velous, both as to the price of the
arucies ana me ingenuity displayed
in their construction. Surely there
is something very wrong in this
country when the Americans, after
buying our tin-plates and paying
heavier wages for the manufacture
of the article, are able to offer it
here at prices much under those at
which we can produce it

Do the Hormone Mean Wart
A few weeks ago we Inform pd our
readers, that in the southern part or
the Territory the Mormons had re
cently baptized a hundred Indians
Into their church. Now, still more
Important news comes to us from
the northern settlements. A busi
ness letter from near Jogau City,
nad written by a reliable geutl
man, contains the following pas
sage: 'While wrttlnir I wimlil riAsira tn
call your attention to the fact, well
known to our citizens here, that
Brlgham Young and his emissaries
have been tampering with the In
dians up here, and fifteen or twenty
lodges of Shoshones or Snakes have
beeu baptized. In the meeting two
weeks ago, they (the Indians) were
called by young Brigham and
Lelshman (Clerk of the Probate
Court), 'the battle axe of the Lord
and of Zion' that the Order of
Enoch must take and traia and in
struct them, etc. My own opinion
Is that the Brlgham Ites the bloody
Priesthood are simply endeavoring
to make allies oi these savages, for
the purposes of murder and assassin
ation against outsiders, In case of
any trouble with the Federal author
ities. It Is an old game of these
cowardly criminals to make cat's
paws of the aborigines. If it were
possible, these vagabond Snakes
should be removed entirely from
Mormon Influence and placed on a
reservation under Federal control
The Mormons have interpreters who
converse readily with the Indians.
A policeman of Salt Lake was up
some time ago ana several pow
wows were bad with the Indians.

An early settler in Colorado has
an Indian squaw for a wife. Her
tribe comes that way every sum
mer, and it costs the man two sacks
of flour and a dollar's worth of sugar

The white settlers on the Gila
river, In and around Florence, are
decidedly anxious to see the Pima
Indians leave their present location
and settle in the Indian Territory,
orany'other place, owing to their
thieving propensities,
According to law Indians are al
lowed to catch fish, and in any
manner, and the Virginia Enter
prise says the Rev. Mr. Bateman,
Agent of the Piutes in Nevada, is
feathering his nest by keeping the
Piutes busy catching fish, with
which he supplies the markets of
the Siate.
The noble savages of Oregon are
apeing the manners of the "Boston
