BLAINE declares that he was never in terviewed by a Chicago reporter, but as every Chicago reporter carries a little hatchet about him we hesitate to believe Mr. Blaine. C. C. WASHBURN has taken up his resi dence in Minnesota, and we are led to ex claim How happy we could be with either, Were t'other dear charmer away." MB. OKVILLK GRANT, who was the first to advocate the candidacy of his brother for the Presidency in 1880, has become insane. The others who are following in his footsteps should beware. I will be a matter of interest to school districts to know that the apportionment of the school i nd to be made the first week in October will amount to not less than one dollar per scholar. It will probably be two or three cents above a dollar. JOHN SHERMAN, according to report, has "got his mad up," and proposes to turn upon hia tormentors of the Potter com mittee and make it lively for them. Don't be rash, old man. Possibly Mrs. Jenks may yet devise some way to get you out of the scrape without the necessity of going to war about it. Gov. GEB B, of Iowa, after consulting the legal luminaries of his State as to the legal ity of holding an election for Congressmen in October and getting no satisfaction, sent for a copy of the GLOBE in which the law on the subject was expounded, and now an nounces that such election will be perfectly legal. The GLOBE considers itself indorsed. THB suspicion of trampism is raised by the almost simultaneous destruction of two summer hotels last weekone at Put-in-Bay, Ohio, and the other at Waukesha, Wis. Probably the gallant knights of the road don't like to see the bloated bondholders enjoying themselves at the watering places, and propose to deprive them of the oppor tunity to do so. THE Iowa Greenback meeting which de manded "that mortgages shall be untaxed, BO that no one need pay taxes on property he does not own," evidently got the wrong pig by the ear. The taxation of mortgages is a tax on capital. What they meant to demand, evidently, was that the face of mortgages on property should be deducted from the taxable value of the property. Do you accept the amendment? THE residents of Bismarck are a sensible people. Disappointed in receiving a visit from Mr. Hayes and his party, although all preparations for the reception had been made ready, they didn't sit down and mope over the matter, but turned the affair into a grand ball, to which an admission fee was charged, and the whole proceeds devoted to the yellow fever relief fund. Bismarck deserves three times three and the loudest kind of a tiger. THE last of the Fenian prisoners in Eng land have been pardoned, at the earnest solicitation of the American government, but the Irish papers withhold all praise from the British government for liberating them. Although the treatment of these misguided men has been extremely rigorous, it cannot be denied that severity was neces sary. They committed a serious crime in the name of patriotism, a crime that is ordi narily punished with death but owing to its political character in this instance more lenienoy was shown the prisoners. Miss HOSE EXTINGE, one of the brightest lights on the stage, recently offered her services for a benefit to the yellow fever sufferers, but the fund committee of Phila delphia objected to receiving such aid on account of her being an actress. Miss Eytinge publishes a card in which she says: In my long experience as an actress this is the first instance that I have ever met with where a committee formed to do a work of charity turned its attention from its legiti mate work to insult an honorable profession. Miss Eytinge's grievance is a just one. No profession in existence has done more noble deeds of charity than the profession theatrical. We would far rather have their record than that of the narrow-minded bigots vho, in an hour like this, would refuse charity coming from whatever source it might. A "DEMOOBATIO conspiracy" has been dis covered. It is briefly explained thus: They expect to hold the House after the fall elections. They are eertain of the next Senate. If they hold their own in the fall elections, the present House is to refuse to act in any im portant matter with the Republican Senate, and, by refusing to pass appropriation bills, compel the President to call CongresB in extra session shortly after the adjournment. Then, having control of both houses of Congress, the Democratic party can, of coarse, shape all legislation and fix the appropriation bills ana other measures to suit itself. The Democratic party can father this "conspiracy" without blushing. It is simply a conspiracy to stop the reckless expenditure and appropriation of money by the Repub licans. They will "fix the appropriation bills to suit themselves" by cutting off all needless expenditures. They would be false to their professions if they did not carry out some such "conspiracy" as this. CLEANNESS OF CONVERSATION. Ye are not all clean.JOHN xm-.ll. The Savior, looking at his disciples, the chosen twelve, discovered the purpose of one of them to betray him, and declared "Ye are not all clean." Men who look over the fol lowers of Christ to-day can with truth use the same exclamation. They are not all cleanvery many of them are unclean in their daily walk and conversation, delighting in coarse jest, ir. incidents whose recital ought to cause a blush upon the cheek of even the most hardened of mankind. If "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh," very many of the professed Christians of to-day must be whited sepul chres indeed, full of all uncleanness. And ministers of the gospel, we regret to say sometimes set the example to the members of their churches of indulging in that most reprehensible of all practicesthe obscene jest or double entendre. In gatherings of ministers we have sometimes observed this tendency. These disgrace their calling, and the moment they are relieved of the society of ladies the jests begin, and from being slightly suggestive soon grow vulgar, and from the vulgar to the positively obscene and indecent is but a step. Every one who has traveled with a minister of this stamp or met him at a social gathering where ladies did not happen to be present, must have no ticed with what keen relish he listened to the relation of a questionable story, and wit what zest he took a part in the jesting. Instead of rebuking the salacious story or the impure suggestion he laughed as heartily as any, and ransacked his memory for incidents of a like sort that he may keep up his end of the conversation. By his con duct he encourages a continuance of the rude and pernicious practice, and especially to the young his example is productive of the most debasing results. Then, too, the minister is a privileged character in the family circle, and instances are on record in which he makes use of language in the presence of ladies which, from any other source, would subject the speaker to a prompt ejectment from the house at the toe of the boot of husband, father or brother. While the clergy are at fault to some ex tent in setting a bad example to the outer world, other church members are quite as worthy of condemnation in that matter. Instead of setting their faces against in dulgence in lewd conversation, they are as ready as any to enter upon it. It is perfectly natural th the young, hearing their elders, who in addition are professing Christians, engaged in such impure talk, should imitate them, losing sight of the fact that the prac tice is both unchristian, impolite and debas ing to men of pure minds. They soon learn to roll off an offensive story with the utmost sang froid, and the detestable practice in creases from day to day and from year to year. It is a fact that we cannot shut our eyes upon, that this subtle social poison has permeated every circle of society so that few are uncon tammated. It is an evil that is still grow ing. To it may be traced much of the social immorality that exists to-day. Familiarize the mind with stories of the brothel, and the temptation to sin in that respect meets the victim half ready to succumb. For too much of it the clergy and the professing Christians are responsible. They forget that cleanness of heart is enjoined upon all true men and women that it is as essential as godlinessis, indeed, a part of it. There must be a reform in this direction, and the clergy must be the ones to institute it. They must not only cease their suggestive hints and sensual stories, but they must rebuke indulgence in the detestable practice in others. Be clean in heart and in conversa tion, and by your example you will be able to correct the infamously filthy tendency of much of the conversation in all sorts of gatherings. A WORD TO MR. HATES. The occupant of the Presidential chair, when he goes to church in St.' Paul this morning, should take his bible and open it at the twentieth chapter of Exodus and th fifteenth verse. There he will find that one of the laws given to Moses by the Lord on Sinai reads, "Thou shalt not steal." This command was intended to be general in its application. It did not mean that a man in want should not steal, while a man with abundance of riches might plunder his fel lows it did not mean that one man should not steal a coat to protect him from the win try blasts while another man might steal the Presidency of a nation.,Mr. Hayes is a pious manor at least he professes pietyand it is not unfair to expect that he will obey the precepts and commands of the master he professes to serve. How, then, can he ex cuse his occupancy of the White House in view of the fact that he was not elected to fill it. He knows that the only title he pos sesses to the office was derived through the bribery of the supervisors of election and members of the returning board of Florida and Louisiana. He knows that he paid the price of the perjury of these men, about sixty in number, by appointing them to offices in his gift. He cannot plead that he did not know the character of the service they ren dered, for men of unexceptional character were ignored that they might be rewarded. Few if any of the men he appointed bore good characters. It was notorious from one end of the country to the other that taey were chosen as supervisors of election and members of the returning board because of their capacity for perjury and bribery. The man who occupied the second place upon Mr. Hayes' tioket had, in a report to Con gress nearly two years before the election, declared the returning board of Louisiana ah infamous combination of corrupt men organized to deprive the people of the right td the fruits of their votes. Mr. Hayes could not, therefore, without presuming him tq be a fool, be ignorant of the manner in which it was made to appear that he was elected. How, then, can he reconcile his conduct in accepting the office of President of the United Statesin stealing itwith the divine law? Did he never in MB younger days read in Watts' hymns that "It is a sin to steal a pin Much more to steal a greater thing?" We would not be uncharitable towards Mr. Hayes. may have beenwe think he has beensurrounded with unwise and eorrupt counsellors who have com pelled him, by various specious argu ments, to do violence to his own con science. But it is never too late to mend, and if, as he sits in his pew in the house of God to-day, he resolves to do rightto un do as far as possible the great wrong he has committed, by resigning the office he fraudulently holdshis oblations will be far more acceptable at the throne of grace, and he will stand out before the whole world and live forever in history as the greatest of moral heroes. NI NE out of every ten Republicans you meet will admit that there are a sufficient number of voters opposed to Washburn to defeat him if their votes are all given to the same person. The vote of this opposition will be unitedly given to Mr. Donnelly. A New Journalistic Enterprise. Jordan, Scott Co., now rejoices in a newspa per, and when her next county seat fight takes place she will have a mouth-piece to vindicate her rights. The Scott county Advocate is the name of the new candidate for public favor, and Frank Matchett is the editor. The paper is excellently gotten up, shows ability and if the people of Jordan do not stand by it liberally, they ought to lose their county seat when the controversy come? up again. PULPIT THEMES.

The First Christian church of Chicago has been split in twain by long-nursed personal Btrife. The Rev. Joseph Cook is building a Brimmer residence at Cliff Seat Grove, near Lake Cham plain. The Fifth, Baptist church of San Francisco has yielded to the pressure of hard times, and scholars. Upward of 1,200 churches in Great Britain now use unfermented wine for communion purposes. The free-seat system will go into effect in St. Ann's church, Brooklyn, Rev. Dr. Schenck, No vember 1st. There are 7,789 Sunday schools in the State of Pennsylvania, attended by 860,290 teachers and scholars. It is the general impression among church people that the camp-meetings of this age need to be reformed. The church of the New Jerusalem (Sweden, borgian) calls for young men to serve mission ary service in India. 1 The Cardinal Archbishop of Paris has iBsued a pastoral calling on all the faithful to con tribute Peter's pence. The Rev. R. D. Mallory, of Brooklyn, has ac cepted a call from the Second Congregational Church of Detroit, Mich. The Zion Methodist church, of Norwalk, Conn., has become the "African Mission of the First Congregational church. The Rev. Isaac D. Cole, of the Reformed church, died at Spring Valley, N. Y., last week, aged 80 years. His son, Dr. David Cole, is a pastor at Yonkers. The best prayer gaugeis a well-fed mosquito int-ide the bed netting. a man can pray with that insect investigatr^g his left ear and singing to him the songa of his childhood he is safe. Mr. W. E. Wolcott, for four years^on the edi torial staff of the Springfield Republican, has left journalism to enter Andover Theological Seminary, intending to be a Congregational preacher. The corner-stone of the Gilfield Baptist Church, Petersburg. Va., has been laid. The membership of the church is composed of col ored people and numbers 2,268. The building will cost $25,000. The work of the New York City Mission and Tract Society for July was as follows: With forty missionaries 512 meetings were held, 3,696 visits made, 6,174 tracts distributed, and 517 families aided. A Kentucky deacon in a telescoped car, at the time of the Mingo dioaotcr, slept so soundly that he had to be awakened and informed of the accident. He explained by stating that he thought he was at church. Two Baptist churches in Philadelphia are contending for the title of "Emmanuel." One is on Twenty-third street, the other on Cum berland. Each claims to have chosen the name before the other adopted it. Morrisey'B showy gambling-house still faces the whole community at Saratoga, and is flourishing "like a green bay tree," and the Young Men's Christian association of the town has been allowed to die from debt! The Society of Friends in Great Britain, at their yearly meeting, reported 160 new mem bers by "convincement," but the losses by withdrawal or death exceeded this, number. The total membership is estimated at 14,600. An exhibition of real Christian charity can be exhibited to-day in all our churches of every creed and denomination by taking up a collec tion for the aid of the people in the South who are so terribly suffering from the yellow fever. The spire of the church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, is being repaired. Workmen are en gaged in replacing every broken and imperfect stone with a new one, and two coats of oil are to be applied to the surface to preserve th stone from the action of the sun and weather. The Rev. William Impey. who has been for forty years a Wesleyan missionary in Africa, has resigned his position as preacher to avoid expulsion for rejecting the doctrine of the end less suffering of the wicked. He is to continue his work with the help of persons sympathiz ing with him. Owing to the changes in population in the city of London, it is proposed to reduce the number of Episcopal churches from 120 to twenty. At some of these churches there is not an attendance of a dozen persons at the servicen. Many of them, have an income of over $10,000 a year. Francis Murphy thinks that Paul was an Irishman, and Rev. Dr. Wilde is of the opinion that St. Patrick was the Prophet Jeremiah. If these gentlemen are right in their surmises, who can Kearney, the great labor reformer, be? Perhaps he is Nebuchadnezzar, or Shadrach, MeBhach, and Abednego. The Russian Greek church possesses 38,602 churches, including cathedrals 12,860 chapels and oratories 18,877 arch-priests, priests, deacons and precentors 56,500,000 members, of whom 27,000,000 are men.

On Sunday, the ma chinery in the American department is at a Btand-still, and all the show-cases are covered up. In every other department except these two the show proceeds on Sunday, in full blast. It is estimated that the total amount of money thus far pledged to pay church debts under the persuasive eloquence of Brother Kimball, is $1,354,531. It seems unjust that Mr. Kimball should be asked to perform all this service without compensation. Any ordi nary negotiator would charge them at least 5 percent. i\ J: The Mennonites, who number about 200,000, are,strangely enough, said to be on the ir crease. They are strongest in Pennsylvania. They wear queer clothes, practice immersion, do not believe in a hireling ministry, and adopt the New Testament to the rejection of the Old. They are industrious and thrifty, and do not mingle much with the world's people. MINNEAPOLIS NEWS' Specially Reported for the Daily Globe THE GEEAT EXHIBIT. Concludes with the President and Guests as Visitors. A RESUME OF SPLAN-RARUS. The Track Sports and a Host of Other Interesting Matters. SIXTH AND r,AST DAY. It rained all night, and started in early in the morning, as though it intended to stay all day, but a little before seven o'clock the mois ture csased to descend and the clouds began to lift. This was encouraging, and the crowd of the day before mostly concluded to remain and see Mrs. Hayes and Rutherford. HOPEFUL AND DAN MACE. It was quiet on the ground during the most of the forenoon, the weath er remaining lowering and threaten ing. About noon, however, at the hour when the President and party were expected to ap pear on the exposition grounds, the clouds broke away and mother nature put on her best bib and tucker in which to welcome the chief magistrate of the nation. THE CEOWD. It was not as numerous as on Wednesday or Friday, but was still large, tak ing into consideration that it was the last day of the fair. Enthusiastic Pioneer reporters insisted on 25,000, but what'a the ube of LYING AFTER THE FAIB? A liberal estimate would be 10,000 at any one time during the day. Of course the chief attraction was the Presi dential party, and everybody was asking every body else, "When will the President be here?" Bhowing that the multitude had failed to take, the time necessary to read the GLOBE which each one carried in their hands or pockets. In the GLOBE (with customary enterprise) was published TWO PROGRAMMES for the President's party during the day, and any one, not too particular, could select one which would serve his or her purpose. At 12:30 o'clock the word was passed alo-sg the line that the President was coming, and everybody be gan t' try to look as nice as possible, just as though his excellency had come especially to bee themas indetd he had. THE TRAIN OF CARRIAGES drew in at the gate, and was immediately escorted down to the lower end of the grounds to witness the magnificent display of blooned stock, all (the stock not the President) decorat ed in their newly acquired anrl bravely earned blue and red ribbons. The President was all condescention, smiles and good nature, while Gov. Pillsbury's rubicond countenance shone forth like the glorious orb of day through the haze of an INDIAN SDMMHB ATMOSPHERE. In the front carriage were President Hayes and wife, and Gov. Pillsbury and wife, while in the carriages following was the party, as following: Burchard Hayes, Washington. Webb C. Hayes, Washington. Rutherford B. Hayes, Jr., Washington. Hon. H. B. Strait, Shakopee. Hon. Wm. Windom, Winona. Hon. Alexander Ramsey, St. Paul. Gen. Albert J. Myer and daughter, U. S. A. E. B. Tyler and wife, Baltimore. T. C. Jones and wife, Ohio. Wm. D. Miles and daughter, Ohio. Gen. T. R. Looker, pay director, U. S. Navy. Hon. Andrew Shuman, Chicago. Josiah Dent and son, Washington. Jos. Calder, Pennsylvania State College. O. P. LeDuc, Washington. Gov. W. A. Howard, Dakota. C. B. Wright, Philadelphia. B. C. Yancey, Athens, Ga. Wm. Henry Smith, wife, daughter and son, Chicago. C. B. Farwell, wife and son, Chicago. John V. Farwell and wife, Chicago. John N. Jewett and wife, Chicago. Wm. H. Ferry and wife, Chicago. 0. W. Nixon, Chicago. A little before 2 o'clock the carriages drew into the ring in front of the cen ter of the grand stand, and President and Mrs. Hayes, Governor and Mrs. Pillsbury, Attorney General Devens, General Meyers (old probabilities), Gen. W. D. Wash burn, and the President's private secretary, al ighted from their carriages, taking their places in the judges' stand in the honorable company of the GENTLEMEN OF THE PRESS. After the party was comfortably located. Mayor Rand stepped to the fiont and Introduced his excellency in the following elegant and WELL CHOSEN REMARKS: Fellow Citizens, Ladies and Gentlemen: Our city is especially honored to-day by the presence of one whose person is a stranger to us, but whose name has long been a household word one who has plowed deep furrows in the political soil of the country, the harvest of which will be garnered into the treasuries of the land when absolute, genuine peace shall be firmly established all over the union, and par ticularly in the great councils of the nation. The policy of peace on earth and good will to his fellow men as exercised in the earliest days of hit* administration was inaugurated nearly two thousand years ago by a poor and lowly Nazarine that outlived all dynasties, and will continue to live and expand until the purpling dawn of the milleniumif the soil in which it was planted was not ready for its reception, it ought not to depreciate one jot or tittle of your estimate of the kindly instincts of the courage ous hearts that dared follow BO illustrious an example. I have the honor to introduce His Excellency Rutherford B. Hayes, the President of the United States. The President then arose, and after bowing his acknowledgments to the crowd for his en thu iastic reception, spoke aa follows, the GLOBE man making a complete report of his speech: MY FHIENDS: Mr. Lincoln, on some occasion when he was required or when it was proper he should address an audience largely of ladies, spoke of his embarrassment in undertaking to do it, as he had never been skilled in the language compliment ary to ladies, and I feel somewhat as he must have felt in attempting to make my acknowledgment to thOBe to whom I am indebted for the gratification of being with you to-day. I am not skilled, I have not studied the language of mere acknowledgment and of thanks upon occasions like this. It occurred to me, coming as I was to the Northwest to attend agricul tural and mechanical fairs, to meet people who were mainly engaged in considering their material inter ests, that I might perhaps say a word or two that would be interesting on that subject, the prospects of business, the return to better times, and accord ingly I gathered together a few facts and a few fig ures which I intended to use and repeat, at each of the places in which I was called upon to address an assembly, leaving to the moment to say such other things as might seem proper to say when called upon on occasions like this. And here let me say this, that sincerely and heartily I thank the Governor of Minnesota and the mayor of the city of Minneapolis and the president and officers of this association for the very friendly way in which they have greeted me, and I thank this whole audience for the heartiness with which they have receded sentiments, some of which, djubtless, they do not' altogether agree with. It is one of the fortunate things an an American public life that whatever may be said currently in the angry discus sion of political strife that after all the American peo ple of all parties seem to have a sagacity discover ing at laat.what manner of man it is tbat they are talking about ana thinking about, and though he may make eveiV So many mistakes, if, upon the whole, they believe that he is honest and patriotic, and means well, they will treat him as you treat me. [Loud applause.] Of course we all know everybody in the United States tbat knows anything knows a good deal, and a good deal that is good and pleasant about the city of Minneapolis. [Applause.] We know of your energy, of your rapid growth, of your prospects, of what you are doing. To-day, passing around your city, view ing your beantiful homes, viewing also its wonderful manufacturing establishmentsestablishments so extensive, so well fitted to take hold of the raw ma terial which we have seen growing in the colossal wheat fields of the Northwestpassing through these I saw and realized how it is that one column of the figures that I have repeated-aud I propose to repeat until I get back to Washington how it is that that column of figures stands bo favor ably to the United States as it does. [Applause.] I refer, as you will naturally conjecture, to the com parison between what we send abroad and what we receive from abroad, and tbat column of figures tells us that thebe last four years, and especially in this last year, we have sent to Europe of agricultural pro ducts, ot breadstuffs, of provisions, largely more than ever befoie, and the opposite fact is equally en couraging, and that is, that my wife and your wife, and your boys hare been seized with a fit of economy and are buying less of the nonsense they make abroad than ever before, (loutl applause) and so the result IB that to this period of hard times, when we need encouragement, we are having a state of trade more favorable than ever known. [The remainder of the President's speech^as a repetition of the statistics, etc., which he re cited in his St. Paul speech on Thursday, and which has already been printed in the GLOBE. ED. GLOBE. I There you have it in white and black! There spoke the man who holds the office of Chief Magistrate of this nation, not by the will of the people, but by the strong hand of law. Of course he was cheered frequently during his remarks, but there was a notable and ominous silence at those points where he came to the de fense of John Sherman's POLICY OF PIRACY and the hard mne theories of his adminis tration. The ideas were not born of thought, nor were they elaborated in the brain of a great man but were only the surface platitudes of a gentleman who is 60 far raised by wealth and position above the wants and hopes of his fellow citizens that he cannot comprehend their struggles and their suffer ings. After the President's address to the men of wealth who were before him there was need of about TEN MINUTES OF DONNELLY to refute MR platitudes and put to the bluBh his vealy statesmanship. "Oh, where was Roderick then? One blast upon his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men!" FOLLOWING THE PRESIDENT. "Old Probabilities," whose other name is Gen. Myers, head of the weather bureau, was called for and responded in a brief speech. He said he had been promised by his assistants in Washington a "fair day," and was happy the boys' words had been verified, though it look ed somewhat uncertain in the morning. (Laugh- ter.) He had come from the far East to what he had been taught to consider the far West, and had come to see the magnificent farming lands of thb wonderful country, and he had also come to see that class of men which bis bureau had been created to aid and benefit in their labor of feeding the world. He had been abundantly gratified, and hoped to live to see his work ap proved and appreciated by that elabs all over this great land. Then came GENERAL DEVFNS, attorney general of the nation, who endorsed the President's financial policy, (of course) and everything else his pxcellency kad uttered, (of coursefor this are we cabinet officers) told one or two pleasant stories, stuck on a Latin quotation from Seneca, and rendeied it English, about the blessed thing it was to be an agriculturist, (forgetting to mention, with wheat ten bushels lo the aere, grading No. 4 and selling for 50 cents a bufthel, and the President's "policy," ietiring the people's money to pour wealth into the tills ot the bankers. And then he sat down. AT THIS STAGE Brown, who is running so successfully the re lief tent for the yellow fever sufferers, came into the stand with a handsome Morocco-cov ered bible, handing it to the President with whiRpered instructions. The President imme diately rose, and holding the book aloft, stated that a former soldier of the federal army desired to do something for the confederates whom he had fought during the war, and who weie now stricken by the scourge. He had no money, but had donated the Bible, and desired that some one would purchase it, that the proceeds might go to the bOUTHERN 8UFFEBERS. Mayor Rand stepped forward as auctioneer "How much will you give?" "Five dollars!" from the crowd "Ten dollars!" from General Devens, on the stand. "Thank you, gentle- men," said the mayor, "for your kindly in tentions, but it ia not that kind of a Bible!" (Laughter) "now wr will givefitty dollars for this book thus donated.'" A pause"I will!" fiom the grand stand. "What name?" from the Mayor. "C. C. Gilman," was the answer "Fifty, fifty, fifty, f-i-f-t-y!-who offers seven- ty-five!" "Seventy-five!" from the grand stand. "What name?" "Mrs. J. I. Case!" (cheers) "Thank you, Mrs. Casewho gives eighty? "Eighty dollars!R. F. Jones!" "Jones, the fish manthank you, Mr. Jones! now who offers another raise. "ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS! from Mrs. J. I. Case!" "Thank you, Mrs. Casethank you, and sold to MRS. J. I. CASE for $100 of our fathers and mothers. (Laughter, and three rousing cheers foi MrB. Case.) Mrs, Case is the wife of the great manufactu rer of threshing machines, and would have tak en that bible heme if she had been compelled to run Jones and her other competitors through one of her husband's machine separators. It was a good hit happily made and will carry a 510 woith of blessings to our STRICKEN BRETHREN of Memphis and Grenada, and New Orleans, and will never deprive the ble lady who made the donation of a single luxury. Immediately the bible was placed in the hands of Mrs. Case, she took it, inscribed her name in it, and bade the messenger return it to its former owner WITH HER COMPLIMENTS. And so the yellow fever patients got their $100, and Mr. Severance (the holdier) retains his bible. Then the party descended from their perch in the grand stand, and again taking carriages were driven over the grounds, visited the dif ferent departments, and finally, at 4 o'clock, took seats in the Agricultural hall balcony to see Hopeful trot. THE PRESIDENTIAL RECEPTION LAST EVENING. The parlors of the Nicollet were ablaze with brilliancy and beauty last evening when the President and party held a reception. No public announcement had been made, so short was the time, and of course the affair was* in formal and consequently all the more pleasant and hearty. The President and Mrs. Hayes, together with,' General and Mra. Devens, occupied the center-' of the ordinary, and assisted by Gov. PiUs bury, received a large number of our citizens and their ladies. Government police were sta tioned near the entrance and exit to the room, and the visitors, as they passed through the room ushered by Mayor Rand, paused before the party long enough to be introduced, shake handB, say something pretty, and then passed out or into the parlors. Many elegantly dressed ladies were Been among the crowd, and the gay uniform of officers of the army and navy glis tened in the throng. Shortly after 9 o'clock the party "left the po sition of state, and mingling among the peo ple, passed a few moments in pleasant conver sation, and about 9:30 left the Nicollet and were driven to the depot, from whence a special train conveyed them to St. Paul to remain over Sunday and so ended the eventful visit of the President of the United States, a visit sprung upon us in a moment, giving us no time in which to prepare a fitting reception and demonstrate to the world that respect which is due to the executive of the nation irrespective of party. *voi THE RACES. The unfortunate rain of Friday night de terred many from being present and in fact the condition of the track"was in a most deplorable
