LAKE SUPERIOR REAL EsTArE.-The at
tention Of capitalists and business men ID
now considerably directed to the mineral
and pine lands of Lake Superior, and the
Journal states that some rs 900 acres in the
several mineral and pine districts have been
taken up within the past two months
Good mineral lands aud agricultural and
timbered lands in the vicinity of the mines
have gone up several hundred per cent, this
Spring. The Journal says:
There never was field of such mineral
wealth 50 long neglected us this of Lake
Superior. Quarter sections Of copper and
iron lands that are now selling for from ten
to one hundred thousand dollars each, were q
year ago bought for ten shiHings an acre
The Cliff mine Pittsburgh and Boston) that
is now turning out tsome 1909 tons Of native
copper year, and paying or reserving
each year two hundred per cent. on the orig
inal investment, is located in lands bought
few years ago for five dollars per acre.
There are ut least twenty-five mines on
Lake Superior that would bring to-day t,oc
hundred thousand dollars each, and eight the
number could not be purchased forfive hun
dred thousand dollars each.
The iron mountains can scarcely be esti.
mated in like manner-there is iron enough
and that Of the best quality, to supply the
wants Of this entire country for centuries tc
come, and then wonderful deposites of this
metal are beautifully situated in wooded
country, in the midst OF rich soil, with
splendid streams, waterfalls and lakes, and
all these lands have been bought within
half dozen years at the Government price
Of ten shillings per acre; now their value
cannot be estimated. The proprietors oI
these copper and iron mines, when they first
entered these lands, had but faint idea ot
the fortunes they were securing for them
selves and their successors.

AusTRALIA-'Iother Side.-A gentleman
named Wilson, just returned from Australia,
informs the Stockton Journal that the gold
mines Of Australia are very much overrated,
and, MS general rule, the average earnings
of all the mensengaged in digging does not
exceed one shilling per day. Hundreds of
Californians are scattered about the coun.
try, aud most of them are reduced to state
ofpenury from which they can see no escape.
The wages of labor only amount to 800
peryear, and numbers Of men who sailed
from this State have gone to work on sheep
ranches for their board and clothes. The
American is looked upon with distrust aud
contempt all through the Colonies, and
every system Of persecution is adopted to
make his stay Improbable. Children hoot
him in the street, and landlords maltreat
him in public houses. Ii Australia every
landlord is police officer in his own house
and consequently he can misuse an Ameri-
can with impunity. American coin is taken
at discount Of 90 per cent, and it is hare

figure of the eagle and stars. Squalid mis-
cry and increasing crime are associated al

RTThis is really an age of progress!-
Who would have thought. six months ago,
that the OHio Stdtssman would come out
boldly and fat footed, in favor of Gnal9ana-
tion and negro sutfragei And yet it is even
so. In an article on the right Of suffrage
question, in that paper of Tuesday, we find
the following bold avowal:
"Whigs desire that there should always
be separate, inferior, prescribed, disafect-
ed, class in the community, who are depriv-
ed Of their rights, and constantly waging a
contest for their recovery. Democrats
wish, by an act Of equal, discriminating
justice, to terminate these contests forev-
er."
Now, unless the writer's for that paper are
willing to admit that they are bold, unmiti-
gated demagogues, that they don't mean
what they say, aud talk big words only TO
tickle the ears of the groundlings, they ad-
nit that they are in favor Of the repeal of
all laws against blacks, in favor of their
coming into our schools, and in favor OF en-
tire social and political equality of the blacks
with the whites. We congratulate the Co.

The ALPINE HoRN.-Amongst the lofty
mountains and elevated mountain valleys of
Switzerland, the Alpine horn has another
use besides that of sounding the far-famed
RAM des Vaches, or Cow Song, and this is
of very solemn and impressive nature
When the sun has set in the valley. and on
ly the snowy submits of the mountains
CLEAN with golden light, the herdsman who
dwells upon the highest habitable spot, takes
his horn and pronounces loudly and audi.
bly, through it as through speaking trum-
pet,"Praise the Lord Gody' AS soon as
this sound is heard by the neighboring
herdsmen, they issue from their huts, take
their horns, aud repeat the same words
This frequently lasts quarter Of an hour
and the n anne Of the Creator resounds from
all the mountains and rocky cliffs around
Silence at length settles over the scene
IAN the herdsmen kneel and pray with un
covered heads. In the meanwhile. it ha
become quite dark. "Good Nightr' call
the highest herdsman again through hi
horn. "Good Might" again resounds fror
all the mountains, the horns of the herds
men, and the rocky cliffs. The mountain
eers then retire to their dwellings, and t
rest.
