Sioux FarLs, Dak., July 4.—(Special Tele- gram to Tus B Sioux I'alls to-day has entertained the largest crowd of people who ever assembled at any one place in Dakota. All the roads ran special trains, which brought in 9,00 persons. These, including those who came previously and i carriages, made up a crowd of about 15,000 strangers. They were all well cared for, and all seame d well satisfied with what had been done for them. The parade was 8 fine affair, having an industrial show as ivs especial .fea- ture. Brass bands were present from Rock Rapids, Hurley, Montrose, Valley Springs and two from Sioux Ifalls, The oration by Judge Edgerton was suited to the occasion “and creditable to that eminent gentleman. The programme of the day was carried out successfully except Prof. Leroy's balloon ascension. A strong wind prevented tho ascension at the advertised hour.

St. PAvl, July 4.—The receipt of the news of the passage and signing of the famous “omnibus bill” while snow was still on the ground, was the signal for an impromptu Fourth of July celebration in the new states, but the people chose the great centennial independence day for their greatest rejoic- ing, that day having been set by congress as the time for them to meot and perfect their state constitution. The two Dakotas felt added cause for rejoicing, in the be- ginning of the negotiations for the opening of the great Sioux reservation to settlement, and from every little settlement with its metropolitan hopes and aspirations, as well as from the more vretentious cities of the former territories came reports of general rejoicing over the realization of their labors of these many years. Every litlle hamlet heard from its own orators, and had its own celebration, but there was some sort of new state celobration in one or two points in each of the budding states, Bismarck did the hon- ors for North Dakota and welcomed the constitutional convention in a royal style. While in North Dakota one celebra- tion was looked after by all, in South Dukota the people were unable to coutiense thuir enthusiasm to that extent. At Huron, where the constitution of 1885 iocated the capital, a big celebration was held with Hon, 8.8, Cox tuneorator of the day.

Before 10 o’clock it was drizzling, neverth less tho crowd on: Congressman RRussell rapped the company to order and after a fow pleasant words of welcome to the prosident and other visitors and to the peoplo as- sombled, ho nominated Gov. Bulkeloy for chairman of the day. The governor in a brief speech nccepted the honor and ox- pressed his ploasuro at offelally welcoming and presenting to the audience the prosident, Hearty appluuse and ringing choers groeted the president as lie rose, He spoke in part as follow: ““Mr. Presidont and fellow citizons, ladios and gentlemen—I did not ky until this morning the programme would contain any meation of my nan at all, but it would be altogether uncivil if * I did not, this opportunity having boen offered me, ex- press my thanks to thoso of you who are gathered here to-day and to him upon whose hospitable mvitation you have gathercd for the friendly find cordial greoting which you have given me, not only hero to- day, bu in iy progress hithor yesterday. 1 ar sure 1 look into the faces this morning of a body of citi- zens, filled with honest pride in the story of their country, and full of tho serious pur Pose to maintain thoso institutions from all taint or corruption or decay.

The Merit of the Biackhird Described by a Lover ol Nature. A delightful songster is the black- bird, and, being common, is most likely familiar with you, though rather shy and retiring, it not so often seen as you might expect. Kven in winter 1t keeps at a distance, and you must be very quiet or it will not plack up cour- age to come for your crumbs. You never see a flock of blackbirds, for it chooses to hop about alone or in company with his wife, suys a writer in the Lecds Mercary. Now and again it will start up from the bushes and un- dergrowth as you pass through the wood and give you a sight of its hand- some burnished plumage, which is of the dee pest black. Its bill, which is long and slender, is a bright orange color, The hen ackbird is among the humblest of wives, hev coat being a sober dark brown, without a patch of color; even her bill is the sume, being hight brown, and her feot are of the darlkest gray. But she is & pretty bird, noverthele; and quite worthy of her handsome partner. 3 You may find tha blackbird’s nest in almost any secluded spot, in a tree, in the hedge, among the roots of some forest monarch,a hole in & rock or wall, and, on one occasion, I found one lodged on the summits of three stout poles which were leaned against the walls of an outhouse. I said the blacikbird was a delightful songster, ank so it is. ‘To hear its melodious warblings after a summer shower, when the leaves glitter within the raindrops in the rays of th tting sun, and the fragrance of wild flowers borne in the whispering zophyrs is wafted down the glade, is a treat for any lover of nature. I think the blackbird sings the sweet- est after rain. Its notes seem to tell of vefreshing moisture falling on thirsty flowers and parched leaves, of dewdrops nestling in cowslip cups, and of gentle plashes dripping from the eaves of the “low roof ” of the tiny woodland cot- tages. Maw flowers Howitt, who loved birds and and the country, says of its song: “His notes are solemn and flow- ing. He sings deliciously in rain, even during a thunder storm, with the light- ning flashing around him.” He is fond of cherries, and, alas! is often shot while pecking at the tempt- ing clusters. But he repays us for all v pilferings, for his food con- v of snails, worms, slugs and large insec So that I do not see why he is vegrudged a bunch of cherries or u ripe, lucious plum, when he above re- pays the damage by devouring such PO3ts as th -— Making Wood Fireproof. If this could be cheaply and effectually done, there are few improvements which would be more lurgely con- ducive to the welfare of mankind, says a writer in the Safety Valve. The fol- lowing paragraph, therefore, which has lately been in circulation, may be fairly pronounced ‘‘important if true, and interesting at any rate,” It is stated that a Now Englander has recently discovered a eheap mothod of dissolving zine by combining it with hydrogen and producing & solution called zine water. This liguid, if ap- plied to certain woods, notably white- wood, makes it absolutely fireproof, and ot alowcost. Mr. Edward Atkinion, the Boston economist, in speaking of it at Cornell university, says he regards this discovery as one of the most important of the age, and one that will surely revolutionize fire 1nsurance, as well as immenscly decrease the losses by fire, The invention is kept secret for the present. © Only one foraiguer, Sir Li- onel Playfair, the English scientist, knows of it, He corroborates all that is claimed for the invention, and says that the inventor is & bungling chem- ist, but that he has a faculty of blun- dering into the choicest secrets of na- ture’s laboratory.

President Foos then introduced Governor Cumback, of Ind who chose for his theme “T'he American Citizen.” His oration was unlike that of the usual Fourth of ‘July ator, inusmuch as he did not rehash Unitod States history or fly away with the Amerl- n cagle to an t extont. His address was brief and animated, and all his observa- tions were practical rather thun poetiowd. The noon hour was spent in picnicitg in the grove and holding impromptu socials all the grounds. At 1:30 the bands and Grand Army men met at the soldiers’ headquarters and escorted Corporal Tanner to the pavilion, wherea dense crowd awaited him. ‘The platform was occupied by Prof. Palwer's large chorus, while a wumber of Grand rmy men, including Governor Thayer, occupied the front. ‘The old soldiers, whose numbers had now swelled to betwees Y;hr-'rts and four hundred, occupied seats in ront. Governor Blair now introduced Corporal Tanner, who began his address by paying a high tribute to Nebraska and her beople. He also complimented the audience, and said one peculiurity of the west was counting people nov by thousands but by acres. A Nebraska assembly was a half section. His address was the most able and eloquent over heard at anussembly Fourth,and gave great delight and satistaction to the audience in general, and Grand Avmy men in particular, He was froquently interrupted by storms of applause, while murmurs of assent and were hoard on every hand. 3 his aadress would fuil to do it justice or give ajust idea of its merit.

From carly morning until late at evening the streets leading from the city to Riverside park were crowded with every species ot vehicies, conveying visitors to the grounds, while the sidewalks wero packed with ‘quite as n:any pedestrians, but on the samo destination.
