asgH ain Harper, for November, we no
tice,' saws the Baton Rouge Courier, Ian
interesting article on General TaylOr'S resi-
danco of Ration Rouge illustrated with
truthful nicture of the same. The sad reali-
tv and truth of the writer's words, when he
saws: "A few years more, and General Tay-
lor's residence will have disappeared must
strike the visitor as he ascends the beautiful
avenue leading out of the town to the bar
racks. The modest little picket fence, with
its unassuming gate, have gone to decay;
and the shrubs and flowers, SO carefully pro-
tected in the days of the old mans glory,
have become rank and wild in their strug-
giles with briers and brambles for existence.
The vine growing over the balcony, so care
fully looked after by the gentle hand of the
Hero's daughter, no longer blooms to fill the
air with fragrance The flowers have
dropped, the leaves withered, and nothing
but the ghostly form of what was,' now
fingers. The house itself is spectre. The
last and only occupant since General Tay-
lor left it forever, was Colonel Webster and
family, who are also numbered with the
dead; and the 'old rustic cottage, as it is,
has been turned over to the rats, to tumble
to ashes. What lesson! 1t was very
brief day ago, when the old gentleman re
turned from the wars, with all the honorS
fresh upon him. A former residence in
Baton Rouge had endeared him to our peo-
pie, and they claimed him as citizen-the
news of his approach was heralded, and the
town went to the waters edge to welcome
him. A torch-light procession, with music
and banners, followed him, and amid the
cheers and acclamations of the people, he was
escorted to the home of his choice, the cot
-tage, now dropping its head, and only res
cued from oblivion by wood-cut. What
an episode in the history of the worlds
glory With what reluctance the old man
left that fairy spot, his own words betray;
but there was destiny ruling him, and he
was forced away, to occupy a position alto
gether unsuited to his temperament. That
destiny has been sadly worked out. The
hero of Buena Visa is dead, his amiable
widow has followed him, and his accomplish
ed Son-in-law, w. W. Bliss, has fought his
last battle The remains of General lay
lOr should have been deposited on this spot
"a place (as he often expressed himself
more dear to him than any other on earth.

Lake Superior News.

The Ontonagon Mining News, under date of
Nov. 3Oth, says:
We have had a mail from Sault Ste Marie
which left that place on the goth ult., and came
overland from Portage Lake, but we received
that part containing only letters, the papers,
we understand, will be forwarded soon the
whole amounting to 120 lbs, and requiring the
services of two half breeds to bear the burden,
as the snow had not been beaten or broken
enough for dog train.
A company of eleven were four days from
Portage Lake to the Douglas Houghton mine,
and they were out exposed on the first day to
a storm of wind and rain, and as the air to-
wards evening became more cold, their clothes
were frozen stiff, and when they made their
camp, they could not trust themselves to sleep,
and passed their time in walking about their
fire, gathering wood, and keeping near enough
not to freeze, while the rain through which
they had travelled all day now turned to snow,
against which they had to protect themselves
during the night.
The severe storm. lasting two days, the Path
and 25th, which was equal to any that usually
occurs on Lake Superior, occurred during their
journey.
They camped at the Erie mines on the second
night out, and at the Shawmut on the third
arriving at the Douglas Houghton on the fourth
day about noon.
Outsiders may say or think what they please
about living on Lake Superior, and about the
glory of being pioneers, and all that-words
are but uind! Let them FEEL deep enough in
their pockets and in their influence to give u
some little aid to influence the Government tc
furnish us with roads OF mail routes, and we
will be thankful.
The Albion mine has been at great expense
in putting up an engine and a set of stamps o
a new kind and had just got them in successful
operation about month since.
By the carelessness and mismanagement o
some of those who had the control of the ma
chinery they were broken up so entirely, tha
it became necessary to take down all the ma
chinery and rebuild it.
This misfortune will, therefore, put back thai
Company in its shipments, which would other
wise have been very large, as it is successful
location.
The Ohio Mine has suspended for the winter
Whether it will be worked again on the pre-
sent vein is doubtful.
The Arctic Mine fortunately succeeded in Sc
curing quantity of powder, sufficient to ena
hle them to keep in operation small force o
men during the winter.
The Cortez Mine will work small force dur
ing the early part of the winter, and will ado
to it in January.
