To impose fixed, Interchangeable creed is
to raise prison walls around the mind; and
when the reception of this creed is made the

produces moral as well as intellectual degra-

THAT ROCHESTER kNocKING.-Wc have here
toforc expressed our opinion, very freely and
frankly, about the prcposterous hoax or impo-
sition which it is somebody's interest to play off
at Itochestcrj and other somebody's folly to re-
gard as supernatural and very awful.
Various communications have appeared in the
Rochester papers, and others in The Tribune Of
this City; but these hare all been so epidently
dictated, either By firm belief or 5y an earnest de-
sire to induce belief that no confidence whatever
could be placed in them by party anxious only
to get at the facts unbiased by inclination ono
way or the othcr.-N. Y. Com. Adr.
o. We will convince The Commercial
that il knows better than TO have made the
above statements. The Tribune has printed
the reports of the Committees of Citizens of
Rochester, appointed by public meeting
assembled to investigate this subject, and GER
lainly not chosen from nor by those previous
" believing in the supernatural origin of the
knockings.' Then we copied from the
Adrian Watchtower tho letter from Roches
ter oi most embitiercd sceptic, made up of
statements calculated to prove the whole
business an lnposture, Since that we have
printed two Rochester letters TO us from the
leading and unwearied contcmner of the
Mysterious knockings,' broadly denouncing
them as the grossest delusion and folly. Ii
we are not greatly mistaken, The CONNER
cial copied one of these letters, wholly or in
part, and pronounced il conclusive. We
have printed all of any moment that either
party has seen fit to send us; The CONNER
cial has given audience to one side only. hay-
ing decided the case before hearing 1.-THE of
the evidence. We do not yet know what TO
make of it, but are willing others shall have
the same means Of Judging TINT we have.-
That is the dtierence.-.M Y Tribune.

IGNORANCE IN ENGLAND.

Taking the whole of Northern Europe
including Scotland-and France and Bel
gium, (where education is at low ebb,) we
find that to every % of the population, there
is one child acquiring the rudiments of know
ledge; while in England there is only one
such pupil TO every fourteen inhabitants 1t
has been calculated that there are at the pre-
sent day in England and Wales nearly ,OOO,-
600 persons who can neither read nor write
that is to say, nearly one quarter of the
population. Also, that Of all the children be-
tween five and fourteen, more than one half
attend no place of instruction. These state
ments would be hard to believe if we had
not to encounter in our everyday life de-
grees of ilteracy which would be startling,
if we were not thoroughly used TO it, Wher-
ever we turn, ignorance, not always allied TO
poverty, stares US in the face. If we look in
the Gazette at the list of partnerships dis
solved, not month passes but some unhappy
man, rolling, perhaps, in wealth, but wallow-
ing in ignorance, is put to the eIpsrineHtum
cruciS of 'his mark The number of petty
iurors-n rurals districts especially who
can only sign with a cross, is enormous. Ii
is not unusual 10 see parish documents of
great local importance deiaced with the same
humiliatng symbol by persons whose office
shows them to be not only "men of rank
but men of substance. housewife in hum
bic life need only turn 10 the file of her
tradesmen's bills 10 discover heroglyphics
which render them so many arithmetical
puzzles. In fact, the practical evidences OF
the low ebb to which the plalnest rudiments
of education in this country have fallen, are
too common to bear repetition. We cannot
pass through the streets, we cannot enter a
place of public assembly, or ramble in the
fields without the gloomy shadow of Igno,
rance sweeping over us.-Dickens "House,

and the wave of population will undoubtedly
soon roll in upon the New Purchase
Plenty of choice locations can be found,
not yettaken up, within 3 and miles ol

warrants can be bought for 1886 10 $50
which will secure loo acres of land-cerain-
Iy very reasonable price for superb farm

once, he can make location, put up small
improvement, and have a years credit on

1t is expected that treaty will be made
the present summer with the Sioux, for the
whole of the rich country on the west side of
the Mississippi, and extending back for 100
miles. They are anxious TO sell; and Gov
ernor Ramsey is already appointed Comms-
sioner TO treat with them for the purchase
This, when made, will open for settlement
some of the finest and richest land on the

The Military Reserve around Fort Smelling

The following exquisite lines, which we

Herald, are evidently from the pen of Bishop
Doane.-Erchange

Chsel in hand, stood sculptor boy,
With his marble block before him;
And his face lit up with smile Of Joy,
As an ange-dream, passed DER him:
He carved the dream, on that shapeles
With many sharp incision;
Wish Heavens own light, the sculpture
shone,
lie had caught that angel vision.
Scnl ptors of life, are we, as we stand,
With our souls, uncarved, before US,
Waiting the hour, when at Gods COM

If we carve it then, on the yielding stone,
With many sharp incision,

SELECT POETRY.
LIKE AN OPEN, HONEST HEART.

like an open, honest heart,
Where frankness loves TO dwell,
Which has no place for base deceit,
Nor hollow words can tell:
But in whose throbbings plain are seen,
The import Of the mind,
Whose gentle breathngs utter nought,
But accents true and kind.
scorn that one whose empty act,
And honied words of art.
Beray the feelings of the soul,
With perfdy's keen dart:
No more kind friends in such confide,
Nor in their kindness trust,
For black ingrdtitude but turns
Pure friendship TO disgust.
Contempt is but gentle word,
A feeling far too mild,
For one who confidence betrdyS,
And guilt has sore beguil'd;
That hate which hellish fends evince,
When in dark torments toss'd
Is not more loathsome TO the SOUL
Than one to honor lost.
Then give me one with heart as free,
And gen'rous as the air,
Whose ready hand and greeting kind,
Give proof that truth is there.
Whose smiling countenance well shows,
Affection warm is found,
And springs pure as saints, whose notes
Through Heavens vaults resound.

POWDER Mill ENPLosroN.-The following
we clip from the Tamaqua Legion, Schuyl-
kill county, Pa, of the 18th ull;
Yesterday afternoon, at about 3 o'clock we
heard loud report or explosion, and imme'
diately the smoke was seen ascending over
Sharp Mountain, in the direction Of Heilner
& Morganroth's Powder Mill, which is about
one and a-halt miles below this place. The
intelligence was soon brought that the mill,
store house, and dry-house were blown up,
totally demolishing the latter. There were
two persons in the building, but who most
miracuously escaped with their lives. Henry
Stout was rather seriously injured, and VIM.
Scheaffer slightly. Mr.. Fsstnaught, who
superintended the mills, had left but few
moments before for his dwelling, which is
several hundred yards from the mills. We
learn that l64 kegs of powder were in the
dry house at the time Of the explosion. How
the powder caught is not known. Loss
about one thousand dollars.

FROM THE FALLS OF ST. ANTHoNY.-The
steamer Lamartine, Capt. Marsh, arrived
night before last from the Upper Mississippi.
We learn from the officers on board that the
l.. has ascended, during her present trip, tho
great Father of Waters a few miles further
She went to Stee's landing, situated imme-
diately at the foot of the last descent in the
great falls, distance of seven miles and a
half above the town of ST. Paul. and directly
in what is termed the Caldron. The l.. was
on a pleasure excursion from St. Paul, with
a large party on board and the scene Is de-
scribed to us by one who was present, OF the
most sublime and beautiful ever witnessed.
When the boat had reached the highest
point TO which her pow erful engines would
carry her against the whirlpool of current,
a four inch hawser was made fast TO cliff
of rocks, and, by means of the capstan, a few
more lengths were gained towards the at
tainment of feat never performed before,
and for several moments the beautiful little
steamer was forced up the billows oil the
mighty cataract, where boat, bark or birch
canoe had never hoated before. The descent
is described as being like the flight of an
arrow, and with which tiller wheels and
steam had but little 10 do. However, 1t was
safe, and highly amusing to the gay party
assembled on board Besides the reputation,
Capt, Marsh obtained the premium Of 5000
offered by the citizens of that vicinity to any
steamboat that would ascend to Steels Land
ing He more than won the prize, which
was promptly paid, and perhaps it will be
many years before the hoarse voice Of old
ST. Anthony is again hushed by the shrill
whistle of a steam engine, right under his
nose st. Louis Republican, 10th.

The above includes all classes of population
who are civilized in their habits; though
some of the hallbreeds of the Red River of
the North, are as dark as Indians but they
live and dress like whites and are a valuable
portion of the population, In the numbering
regions, the emgrants are mostly from Maine
and other New England States, while the
Canadas, Hudson's Bay Possessions, New York
Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois and
Wisconsin, principally contributed 10 make

who has declared his intention to become

After the census was taken, however, the
main body of the immigration last year ar

been taken in the fall, it would have shown
large increase over that of June All the

THE INDIAN POPULATION.
Besides the whites, Minnesota embraces
within its extended boundaries, very large
Indian population, variously estimated to

These are the ChiPpewas at the North
around the heads of the Mississippi.
The Winnebagoes located west of that river
and Immediately south of the Chppewas; the
Watab river bounding the Winnebago coun-
try on the south.
And the great Dakotah Nation, generally
known as Siour, who possess the country
from the Mississippi 10 the Missouri and
northwest TO the utmost limits of the Terri
tory. These are a nation of themselves, and
are divided into numerous independent bands
or patriarchates though but a small moiety
of them are in near contact with the white
settlements.
