Wabhinoton, June 1.?The third term
friends of tho President here, chief
among whom is Boss Shepherd, are ex?
tremely jubilant over the letter on that
subject, whioh appeared this morning.
It seems that the President wrote tho
letter and gave it out for publication
without consultation with any member
of his Cabinet. Ho stated, this morning,
that he had been awaiting an opportu?
nity to say what ho has said about the
third torm, but none had presented itself
until tho action of the Pennsylvania Re?
publican Convention. The letter is in?
tended as a rebuke to that convention,
and Grant's friends think it makes him
oven with the anti-third term party in
Pennsylvania. They also claim that it
will make him strong before the people,
and eventually seoure him- the nomina?
tion by a National Republican Conven?
tion for a third term. 'Bosb Shepherd
says Grant is sure to be the nominee of
the party; that he wUl start with the
South solid for him, and that he will get
enough States North and West without
Pennsylvania to give him a majority in
the convention. It seems to be generally
understood by Grant's friends, that he
will'accept r. nomination if it is offered,
and his lotter foreshadows this. The
impression is, that this lotter will go far
toward demoralizing Blaine, Briatow,
Morton, Cohkling and all the rival aspi?
rants for the Republican nomination.

M., - yesterday, ? 8heriff Werner tele?
graphed that his posse had been fired
upon and asked military assistance. The
first disturbance occurred at King, Lyler
Sc Coy's colliery, where the Sheriff, with
a posse, ordered the rioters to disperse.
One of the chiefs replied, they could
not drive them away and fired on the
Sheriff. Tho firing became general and
about 200 shots were fired. The Sheriff
being overpowered, retreated to town
and re-organized his force, citizens
volunteering. Eight raiders wounded
and one killed; several citizens wounded.
After the military orrivo/1 all was quiet.

Catholic societies in the city; it was two

Ii is at last announced that the plague
of the West has been utilized. A party
of epicurian gourmands in Missouri,
with recollections of the Sabbath school
lessons of their earlier days, wherein
they read of the locust diet of John the
Baptist, have been dishing up grass
hoppers into the most seductive dishes.
First, of course, came soup, which
plainly showed its origin, but tasted very
much like chicken soup; seasoning was
added, and the delicious flavor of mush?
room was the result. Cakes were in the
second course, and in them were thickly
mixed the grasshoppers. Then came
roasted hoppers plain, without grense or
condiments, and the party was entranced
with their exquisite crispiness, and was
fully of tho belief that John ought to
have thriven on his rude diet in the
wilds of Judea. This is the first practi?
cal effort at destroying tho great pest,
and already the problem is solved. The
grass-hopper from the fields of the hus?
bandman, in the far West, will be gar?
nered in to be shipped to the great cities
of the land, and to make his appearance
on the bills ?f fare at every first class
hotel. He will prove invaluable to the
lunch houses, and the hopper soup will
cheer but not inebriate the impecunious
fiend of the lunch rooms ere many moons
have come. From plain grasshopper,
his namo will be transmuted by some
wondrous power in the hands ?f him
who deals in the literature of bills of
faro into some wondrously complicated
French word which shall charm the eye
as will his luciousness delight the taste.
The days of the grasshopper will grow
few in the land; having been utilized, he
will immediately begin to assume the
position of an object of search on the
part of those who have long suffered the
effects of his remorseless appetite.
'?Poor Henry" Wilson has gone into
temperance lecturing in Chicago, and is
once ruoro elected a vice-president along
with Spoiler Colfax. Colfax's day in the
political arend is over, after having been
the most lucky public man in the Union,
and risen high with less merit in propor?
tion to honors than any other man in our
day save General Grant. The maudlin
Vice-President Wilson gets in his right
place when he g^ta along with Collax,
Vice-President of the National Temper?
ance Society at its annual convocation in
Chicago. Wilson is another man who
strangely enough rose to be Vice-Presi?
dent of the United States. It is quite
fitting that he ond Colfax should be
united in political death.
Gen. Sheridan will take his young
bride, daughter of Assistant Quarter?
master-General H?cker, out on the plains

others accompany the party, and Gene?
ral Cnster's cavalry expedition of 1,200

A very wealthy Englishman has en?
gaged to transport the obelisk of Alex?
andria to England at his own expense.
! This obelisk weighs 280 tons, and the
expense of transportation is estimated at
$50,01)0. A very large raft will be used
to transport it, because it would be
dangerous to place such an immense
mass upon a ship. Tho Khedive has
offered this obelisk several times to the
English Government, which has always
refused because it found the present bur?
densome. It is destined for one of the
principal squares in London.
Setting type by telegraph is the latest
invention. The London Times is said to
have the machine, and to be perfecting a
system by which the paper will be set
simultaneously in each of the large cities
whero it has a large circulation. This
will connect the London offices with of?
fices in Liverpool, Manchester, Birming?
ham, etc., and n person operating the
keys of the machine in London will set
the type there and in all the other offices
at the same time. Of course the papers

the cities where there are branch offices.
The New York Tribune publishes the

Tho Brooklyn Board of Supervision,

authorized them to allow live dollars a i

In Paris they mako two eggs out of one

Not long since, two or three financiers
of Liverpool went in a big spec, in rice.
They realized and netted a large profit.
Pleased with their success, they resolved
to celebrate the lucky coup by a little
