SUCH GETTING UP sTAIRs.-A hotel is
about to be erected in one of the eastern CT
ties, eight stories high. A person, seated in
an elegantly arranged car, strikes bell, to in
dictate the floor to which he desires to be CON
veyed, whereupon, by means of steam "dum-
my" he is elevated to the proper terminus
in double quick time, thereby obviating the
difficulty experienced in such never ending
step, step, stepping, as is now the fashion
when poor tired traveller is directed to his
elevation for a nights ropose.
We like the suggested improvement and
bespeak a season ticket in that car.

Our MINISTER TO SPA1N.-The n. Y.
Tribune says of Soule, who has been appoint
ed to Madrid, that he gave assurance that he
would not accept the Spanish Mission, ex-
cept upon condition that he did uot suppose
the Administration would grant. Upon be-
ing questioned as to what it was, he replied
that it was that he should have unlimited
powers for the purchase of Cuba. We are
hardly prepared to believe our government
green enough to grant him such an unlimit-
ed power. We have a better opinion of it
than that, although it has done great ma
ny foolish things Mil Free Dem.

TRADE ANECDoTE.-Thef following result
of trade enterprise is from the Mining Reg
lister, and is evidently a chance oddity that
was not entirely satisfactory" -
IAN old fellow living at Frankfort-on-the
Maine sent to a business correspondent at
Frankfort-on-theO der,a large consignment of
cotton stockings, and at the same time, to an
other correspondent at the same place,an equ-
ally large consignment of cotton night caps,
the product Of his own manufacture. He
wrote to each the price at which they were
to sell, but the sum designated was found to
be too large, of which they took occasion to
inform him. He yielded a little in his de
mand but still there was no demand for his
fabrics. Again he writes in reply to other
letters of his correspondents, naming a vet
samaller amount; but week elapsed, and
yet no sales AT length he writes to each
correspondent to make some disposition of
his manufactures; if they couldn't get money
for them, at least to exchange them no matter
at what reasonable sacrifice, for any other
goods Under these instructions, the stock
ing factor calls upon the night cap agent
both unknown to each other in connection
with their principal and 'names his views"
he wishes to exchange lot of superior cot
ton stockings for some other goods he is not
particular what kind, as the transaction is 1or
friend who is DESTROYS of CLOSING his stock"
The men at first could not think of any thing
that he would like to exchange for so large a
supply of stockings; but at length bright
thought struck him-"I have" said he, "a
consignment of cotton night-caps from an old
correspondent which shall not object to ex-
change for your stockings" The bargain
was soon closed. The stocking factor at once
wrote back that he had at length been enabled
to comply with the instructions of his princi-
pal. He had exchanged his stockings for a
superior article of nightoap," in an equal
quantity which lie was assured were likely to
be much in demand before great while =,
The next day come letter from the night
cap agent, announcing his success, and appen-
ded to the letter was big bill of commits
sion. As YeIlowplush would say, Fanny,
that gents feelink's."

COPPER MISING.-An intelligent cores
pendent informs us that he has gone over
the statistics of copper mining on Lake Su-
perior with the following results He finds
that twenty-one mines upon the Lake and
the Ontonagan have 224,00O shares, which
have cost by assessment 100000 to the
proprietors The present market value of
the whole stock of these twenty-one mines is
100000, while their combined product has
already been 100000 tons, or $3,12O,0O0
at the price obtained for the metal. Copper
is now worth nearly or quite twice as much
as 1t was three or four years ago. The pre-
Vlous calculation may seem unfounded TO
those who, because copper stocks were once
the subject of foolish speculation, believe
the copper region to be valueless. But lit
tie investigation will satisfy the inquirer of
the truth of the investigation. Thus
the Cliff mine, costing S1O6,00O, would
bring 100000 at the present prices of the
stock-the Minnesota, costing SOC, 900 would
bring S550,00O--the Copper Falls, costing
$4,000 to 100000, would bring s500,o60,
while the stocks of the National Foreign,
Phoenix, Dana, Winthrop, n. West \. Wes-
tern, Norwich, Toltec and many others sell
for moro in many instances than has been
actually expended.

it is brought into market. They are made
up mostly of farmers and mechanics, with a
slight sprinkling of preachers and school teach
ers.-They are mostly in the prime of life,
and take with them to the wilds of Minnesota
the energy and intelligence characteristic of
the land of steady habits. After reaching
the site of their future home, they will pro-
coed at once to the erection of buildings and
planting of crops, preparatory to the arrival
of their families. For these Mr.. johnson will
return after few weeks, with the view of get
ting them to Minnesota by the last of June
Should the report of those now going out be
favorable, the colony will be increased from
