A visit to Gen. Grant's tomb at River­
side Park is now the attraction in New
York, in the evening many of those who
drive on the boulevard turn out of the old
routes and drive up to Claremont and
past the tomb. Every pleasant evening
the avenue is thronged with vehicles. One
man, who has been in the habit of driving
out every evening for many years, says
he had forgotten there was a drive in the
city with such fine views until the selection
of the site for Gen. Grant's burial place
recalled it. Since then he has taken the
route every night. During the day
amateur artists are seated at different
points on the ground sketching the best
views. Many of the visitors now bring
flowers, and floral designs have been sent
to the tomb from the city, where they are
used in decoration.

THE MINNESOTA STATF FAIR.
The grand opening and dedication of the
new permanent grounds of the Minnesota
State Agricultural society will take place
on September 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and^l2. The
work is progressing in the most satisfactory
manner and the greatest festival of the
kind ever held in the northwest is assured.
An official announcement will be found in
this paper. It is expected that the people
of Minnesota will turn out en masse to as­
sist on this important and interesting occa­
sion. The society has now a local habita­
tion and every citizen has a proprietorship
in the splendid grounds, which contain two
hundred acres, beautifully and convenient­
ly located.
THE CENSUS OF TWO CITIES.
The long agony of the census returns
which has agitated the leading cities of
Minnesota—St. Paul and Minneapolis—for
some mouths is over, the auditors of the re-.!
spective counties baving proceeded -'in a
body" to the secretary of state's office in
St. Paul and filed their returns. The official
ffgures proved to be as follows:
City of St. Paul 111,397
Townships in Ramsey county, includ­
ing White Bear village 4,831
Total for county 116,228
City of Minneapolis 1:29,200
Townships in Hennepin county 19,536
Total for county 148,736
The census of 1880 gave St. Paul a popu­
lation of 41,473, and Minneapolis 46,887. St.
Paul has increased 69,924 in the five years,
an increasd of 168.6 per cent., or an average
of 33.7 per year. Minneapolis has increased
82,313, an increase of 175.5 per cent., or an
average of 35.1 per cent, a year. With the
counties the reverse is true. Ramsey coun­
ty has increased 70,313, an increase Qf 153
per cent., or 31 per cent, a year while Hen­
nepin county has increased 81,723, an in­
crease of 153 per cent., or an averaae of 24
per cent.
And now the papers of the respective
cities are quarrelling over the result. The
St. Paul papers say their account is square
and honest and that a resident can be pro
euced for every name, while they allege
the fact that Minneapolis exceeds the
estimate produced by the usual multiple
applied to the city directory issued last
month, as evidence of fraud. They assert
that as the Minneapolis July directory
only had 350 more names than the St. Paul
directory issued the same month the legiti­
mate difference of population, applying the
23 multiple, should not exceed 1,000 instead
of exceeding 17,000. The Minneapolis pa­
pers treat the matter with great compla­
cency. They say that all relative figures,
such as school statistics, election returns,
building records, show that the population
given St. Paul is too high, but that all of
such statistics justify the full number given
to Minneapolis. In view of the fact that
the census figures give them over 17,000 in
excess of St. Paul, they propose to be gen­
erous and not make any serious fuss about
it.
THE OLD WORLD.
There were 4,433 new cases of cholera
reported throughout Spain, and 1,648 deaths
from the disease. There is great excite­
ment in Seville over the government's
proposal to abolish the power of the local
authorities during the prevalence of
cholera, because of their inefficiency in
sanitation, and to itself assume the
direction of the city's local affairs. The
populace are hostile to the doctors and
averse to any interference in family affairs,
and they strongly support the local
authorities. Great crowds assembled in
all the public places last evening to discuss
the situation, and the civil guard was
called upon to disperse them. The ravages
of the cholera in Granada, are horrible.
Scores of the victims of the disease drop
and die in the streets, where, in many
cases, they remain for hours before they
are gathered up at night for a
huiried and unceremonious burial in a com­
mon trench. Granada' is suffering most
from cholera. The people attribute the vis­
itation to divine wrath and wear amulets
to preserve them from taking the disease.
The priests and sisters of charity are assid­
uous night and day in attending to the
wants of the sufferers. The archbishop has
sold his equfpage in order to obtain funds
for relief measures and has offered his pal­
ace as a hospital,
The Paris chamber of commerce has sent
a memorial to the government protest­
ing against the pretensions of Germany
in assuming possession of Port Seguro
and Little Pope, on the west coast of
Africa, and urging the government to
maintain the rights of France along that
part of the African coast.
A private telegram from Zanzibar states
that the dispute between the sultan and
Germany has been adjusted, and that the
sultan admits German supremacy of the
disputed territory and promises to with­
draw thence the Zanzibar troops.
Reports received from Marseilles state
that the cholera there has received a fresh
impetus, owing to the extreme heat, and
that the number of new cases has steadily
increased, and that the disease is unusually
fatal in consequence of the heat.
The reports of the massacre in Annam
were greatly exaggerated. Instead of 10,
000 it is now stated that only a few hundred
Christians were killed.
At 2 p. m. on the 14 inst., the queen pro
rogued the English parliament until Oct.
31. The session has continued for ten
months,
PROROGUING THE EXGLISIT PARLIAMENT.
At 2 o,clock on the 14th of August the Eng­
lish parliament was prorogued until Oct. 31
the lord high chancellor reading the queen1
speech as follows:
Mv Lords and Gentlemen: I am glad to
be able to relieve you from the labors of a
session which has been protracted and event­
ful. When you assembled in October I in
formed you that an expedition was advanc­
ing up the valley of the Nile to the relief of
Khartoum. Three months later, with deep
sorrow, which was shared by all my people
1 learned that the expedition arrived too
late. The heroic Gordon and his compan
ions had fallen. An endeavor, which was
ineffectual, was made to reach Khartoum
by constructing a railway from Suakim to
Berber. My troops were ultimately with
drawn from the whole of the Eastern Sou­
dan, except Suakim, and from Western Sou­
dan, down to Alashyret. Although the olv
jects of the expedition were unattained,
have great reason to be proud of the brav
ery and endurance displayed by my soldiers
and sailors, ard of the skill wherewith they
have been commanded. I received with
great pleasure the loyal offers of military
assistance for this campaign from my col­
onies, om the native princes of India, and
a contingent from the colony of New South
Wales served with distinction in the actions
on the coast of the Red sea. The death of
El Madhi will probably enable me to per­
form with less difficulty the dutips toward
the ruler and people of Egypt which events
have imposed upon me. I shall not relax
my efforts to place government and good
order in that country upon a firm founda­
tion.
My relations with other powers are of
friendly nature. Difficulties which were at
one time of an anxious character arose be­
tween my government and Russia concern
iug the limits of the territory of my ally, the
ameer of Afghanistan. Negotiations for
their adjustment still oontinfie, and will,
trust, lead at an early period to a satisfac­
tory settlement. The progress of events in
South Africa has compelled me, in the in­
terest of the native races, to take under my
•^rj^r /^-T3
«*&&&
protection Bechu an aland and certain ad jar
cent territories. I am taking the neccessary
steps to place the northern frontier of my
Indian empire in a condition of adequate de­
fense, in the absence of which the prosper-
ity and tranquility of my Indian subjects
are liable from tame to time to be interrupt­
ed and disturbed.
Gentlemen of the house of commons, I
thank you for the liberality wherewith dur­
ing the past year you have provided for the
services of tne country.
My Lords and Gentlemen: I have had the
pleasure of giving my assent to a measure
enabling federal action in certain matters to
be taken in my colonies in Australia to a
much needed amendment to the criminal
law, and to a bill establishing a new depart­
ment in the government for the manage­
ment of Scottish affairs. I have also been
glad to concur iu the measure increasing the
number of occupying freeholders in Ireland.
I notice with sincere satisfaction and grat­
ification that an effort has been made Dy a
bill, whereto I assented, to diminish the
evils
of overcrowded and unsanitary dwellings,
which hinders so seriously the moral and
material well being of the laboring classes.
I regret the depression which has so pre­
vailed in many of the important trades and
agricultural and manufacturing industries
of the country and which still continues. I
have directed the issue of a commission to
inspire into the causes of this depression
to ascertain whether it can be alleviat­
ed by legislation. During the past session
your time has been principally occupied by
the enlargement of the electoral and exten­
sive changes which you have in consequence
made in the constitution of the house of
commons. I earnestly trust that these
comprehensive measures may increase the
efficiency of parliament and may add to
contentment among my people. It is my
purpose before long to seek their counsel by
a dissolution of parliament. I pray the
blessing of God may be upon their extend­
ed liberties, and that the members who are
called upon to exercise new powers will use
them with the sobriety and discernment
which have for so long a period marked the
history of this nation.
NOKTHWHST1SKN NEWS.
The N. Y., Times of the 14th contains the
following Stories regarding the future of
the Northern Pacific railroad follow each
other in rapid succession. The report that
the Northern Pacific was about to engage
largely in the importation of teas from Chi­
na and Japan had scarcely got started on its
travels before rumors sprung up that the
Northern Pacific was likely to pass under
the control of another corporation. For a
while a possible combination between the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the
Northern Pacific was talked about. Next
it was the Rock Island that wanted the
Northern Pacific, and now come intimations
that Jay Gould has lately been
large holder of the securities of that road,
with a view to involving the property in
some scheme of his own. The trip now be­
ing made by President Cable on the Rock
Island, over the Northern Pacific road and
its branches, has given some color to the
reports that the Rock Island is about to ac­
quire the Northern Pacific. There are also
any number of plausiple reasons
why the first-named road should
desire to control the other one.
This subject was discussed very freely in
Wall street to-day, and many inquiries
were made by persons anxious to ascertain
the facts. Nothing definite could be ascer­
tained, and in well-informed railroad cir­
cles the impression prevailed that if there
was any consolidation or deal on foot it
was being managed very quietly. The gen­
eral manager of the Rock Island was
quoted as saying that the story connecting
that road with the Northern Pacific was a
romance.
A new era in the trade of St. Paul and
Minnesota was developed last week in the
shape of direct importations of tea by the
car load from Japan. The P. H. Kelly
Mercantile company, of St. Paul, inaugur­
ated this enterprise, and on the 7th of
August, 1885, the ship "Isabel" from Yoko­
hama, Japan, arrived at Tacoma, W. T.,
with a cargo of 22,475 half chests of Japan
tea consigned to St. Paul, Chicago and New
York. This is the first importation of teas
over the Northern Pacific railroad, and not
only opens up a new route, for this mer­
chandise, surpassing all others in economy
and rapidity of transit, but makes St. Paul
the primary market for distributing teas
throughout all the western and most of the
northern states. Beside large shipments
which they made to the eastern markets,
the Kelly Mercantile company received
one entire train load of 4,000 half chests at
their establishment in St. Paul. The
halcyon day for the tea drinker of the very
best article for a small amount of money,
has arrived,
Owing to the rumors of injury by grass­
hoppers in parts of Montana, the signal
bureau has, at Prof. Riley's request, inr
structed its agents in the Northwest to tele?
graph at once observations of injury or
movements instead of sending them
monthly as heretofore. Prof. Riley also
sent an agent to the field whose report?
confirm previous statements. Not only are
there large numbers of this destructive
Rocky mountain species at work, but the
common native and migratory species are
also much more numerous than usual. At
Fort Buford and Poplar river agency the
locusts are very abundant and are damag­
ing the crops. On July 29th, during the
middle of the day, a large proportion of
the Rocky mountain species left toward the
east and southeast.
Commissioner of Statistics Nordin, of
Minnesota, has completed his comparative
tables of the wheat, corn, oats, barley and
flax seed crops for 1884 and the acreage for
1885- The acreage for wheat shows a slight
increase over last year, being 3,181,671
against 3,109,874 ^acres, a gain of 71,797
acres. Tne acreage devoted to oats
5,364 greater than last year corn, 89,943
barley, 9,355 flaxseed, 12,733 the latter be­
ing nearly 100 per cent increase. The in­
creased acreage is confined to no one sec­
tion of the state, but there have been small
additions in most counties, though a few
have fallen off.
When deputy Sheriff Dow entered thecal
room of the county jail at Grand Forks,
Dakota on Sunday, four prisoners attacked,
overpowered and threw him to the floor,
took his revolver from him and would have
escaped had Dow not locked the door of the
cell-room and thrown the keys through the
grated door when entering. All the prison­
ers, including Miller, the murderer, inten­
ded to escape. Sheriff Jenks heard the
groans of Dow and rushed in, driving the
prisoners back into the cells with his revol­
ver.
Conrad Krez, the new collector of cus­
toms at Milwaukee, has taken possession of

Another Life Saved.
About two years ago, a prominent
citizen of Chicago was told by his
physicians that he must die. They
said his system was so debilitated that
there was nothing left to build on. He
made up his mind to try a "new
departure." He got some of Dr.
Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery"
and took it according to directions.
He began to improve at once. He
kept up the treatment for some months,
and is to-day a well man. He says
the "Discovery" saved his life.

My Dear Colonel:—I have been drinking

my return from New Orleans, and think it
is doing good. I shall want more very
soon, as I want to give it a fair trial. My
kidneys are bad, and it will.be a wonderfu
thing if the water can cure them. I have
been prescribing the Palmyra water. for
some of my patients, but they have
difficulty to get it. Please let me know
where it will be "kept constantly on sale,

Dear Sir:—I visited your Sanitarium
and springs recentlv, and was very favor
ably impressed with the excellence of the
building and improvements, and the
variety and number of natural mineral
springs. Prom information derived from
citizens who had long known the medicinal
virtues of the springs, I think they possess
excellent curative properties. From
personal experience in my Own case, in
drinking the waters there, and since, 1
know it to be a most excellent drinking
water. I have used the Bethesda Spring
water, and am fully as well pleased with
the water from Zenobia's Fountain Spring,
which I am now using, as with Bethesda
I can commend it as a most palatable and
wholesome drinking water, and believe it
will give satisfactory results to many who
may use it. Respectfully yours,
