st. Paul Water Company.

Our neighbors of the Times in their para
graph of Saturday, referring to the necessity
of having supply of water for the convent
ence and wants of the people of St. Paul
undoubtedly overlooked the fact that we
have such an institution as a Water Compa-
ny among us. A Company for the purpose
of supplying ST. Paul with pure, fresh wa
ter was chartered at the late session of the
Legislature. The Company is composed of
responsible men, who are prepared to pro-
ceed with the necessary works as soon as the
preliminary business can be concluded.
The books for subscription to the capital
stock of the Company Will be opened forth
with after the return from the East of one of
the corporators, who is now absent upon
business connected with the organization of
the Company.
1t is contemplated to conduct into the city
the water of one of the largest lakes which
are situated but short distance north of the
corporation line. Preliminary examinations
of the topography of the locality between
the city and these lakes have already been
made, and have resulted in practical opin-
ions highly favorable to the enterprise. The
bed of the lowest of these lakes cannot GER
tainly be less than sixty or eighty feet above
the common level of st. Paul
We have full faith that the ST. Paul Water
Company will so ahead.

The attitude assumed by Senator Douglas
leaves no room for further doubt as to his as
pirations. He is candidate for the next
Presidency, subject to the choice of the Dem
ocratic National Convention which is to meet
on June I'd at Cincinnati. have this from
persons who cannot be mistaken. There will
be no lack of effort to give him the nomina-
tion; and since his bold bid for Southern fa-
vor, in his Kansas Report, he is visited by
and has proffers of support from many more
Slavery propagandists than formerly. The
candidates for the Cincinnati nomination are
Pierce, Buchanan and Douglas. The first
has no chance at all. His friends should tell
him so, and induce him to withdraw while
he can with some grace. still think Bu-
chanan has the probabilities strongly in his
favor, as there is no present likelihood that
Pierce will throw his strength or weakness
on to Douglas side; but if the author of the
Nebraska act should be nominated for Pres
ident, trust Senator Mason, the author Of
the Fugitive Slave Law, will be his Vice.
Let us have the whole platform embodied in
the ticket. H. G.

The St. Louis Republican of the 22d, after
giving the telegraphers of the Associated
Press scoring for emitting the news, states
that it has private advices from Washington,
going to show that on the 10Th, Mr.. Bennett,
of Mississippi, in lieu of the original resolu-
ton reported from the Committee on Elec-
tions, to send to Kansas for persons and pa
pers in the Reeder case, submitted an amend
ment, providing for the appointment Of Jo-
seph s. Bradley and Sidney S. Baxter, as
commissioners, clothed with full power to
take testimony in Kansas.
For this amendment Mr.. Dunn, of Indiana,
proposed substitute, which was adopted
l04 against 9l-authorizing the Speaker of
the House to appoint committee of three
members, to take testimony in the case, and
appropriating ten thousand dollars to pay
the expenses, and requesting the President
to give military protection to the committee.
if necessary.
Mr.. Cobb, of Georgia, said, as there was
now no remaining proposition that ought to
be adopted, he moved to lay the whole sub
ject on the table.
This was rejected d-93 against 100.
And then Mr.. Dunn's proposition was f.
nally adopted-yeas 10l, nays 90.

Funeral OF the late Hon. ID. M Hanson.


The funeral of the late Hon. D. NJ Hanson
was attended on Saturday last by very
large concourse of people, much larger than
we have ever Witnessed on any similar occa-
sion in the Territory.
The attendance from ST. Paul was also
large, principally composed of the Masonic
fraternity, of which the deceased was a wor,
thy member.
The procession, composed of the members
of Hennepin Lodge, of Minneapolis, Cataract
Lodge of st. Anthony, st. Paul Lodge, An
cient Landmark Lodge, and Minnesota R. A
c., of st. Paul, OH foot; the friends and rel
atives of the deceased and citizens in genera
in carriages, moved from the deceased's late
residence in Minneapolis, about IL o'clock
to the Congregational Church in St. Anthony
where an appropriate OBSCURE was delivered
by the pastor in charge. The church was
filled long before the procession arrived, and
after its arrival was densely crowded and
scarcely one third were able to gain an en-
trance.
After the services at the Church were ove
the procession moved again in the same or
der to the cemetery about mile north of th'
st. Charles, where the Masonic burial rite
were performed in the presence of larg'
concourse of people.
The whole procession was more than half ;
mile in extent. The number of Masons OF
foot, clothed in appropriate regalia, was up
wards of one hundred.

New York, March 20.
The steamer Persia, from Liverpool, has

The Emperor Napoleon had recently made
a speech, in which he said he hoped for peace,
but France must be ready for either peace or

Negotiations were pending steadily. The
fifth meeting was held on Thursday the 9th,
but secret as usual.
1t had been reported that the representa-
tives at the conference were signing prelim-
lnaries of peace.

The Barstow Case.

The Wisconsin drama, which should be
entitled "Barstow's Decline and FALL" is
rapidly drawing to close. Bashford having
been found to be legally elected by l, 900 ma
jority, Barstow has put quetus upon his
own ignominious career by resigning. This
act of itself proves that he and his friends
never believed he really had any right to hold
the Office. IF the immense frauds by which
he was enabled in the first place to usurp
the high position which a majority of the
people had assigned to another could have
been kept from the glare of public scrutiny,
all we'll and good; but the moment the vii
Amy is thoroughly exposed, the corrupt cow
ards have not the courage to face the music.
Thus it Is ever with such men!

Kidnapping from Ohio.

We see by the St. Louis Democrat, says
the Cleveland Herald, that two men, named
Orr and Simpkins, have been arrested in St
Louis as kidnappers Of two negro boys from
Cincinnati. The boys at first were afraid to
give any information; but finally, after being
assured of their safety from any danger oi
maltreatment from their pretended owners
told the officers that their names were Alfred
Logan and William Rails they said they
belonged in Cincinnati, and that they were
both kidnapped by Orr. The father of Rails
is said to live in Mount Vernon, Ohio. The
boy Alfred said that he was some years since
stolen from Kentucky by an Abolitionist and
taken to Cincinnati, but the Cincinnati Ga
zette says:
The story was either invented by the re-
porter to give interest to his account of the
affair, or Alfred was too ignorant or too much
frightened to tell a straight story; for he was
emancipated some years since by his master,
who, we are informed, came to Ohio for that
purpose. His "free papers" were shown us
yesterday by gentleman who has taken in
terest enough in the case to investigate it.
The attempts of the kidnappers to sell
these boys at various places, excited suspi-
cion against them, and the prompt arrest by
the St. Louis. officers has saved these poor
boys from life of bondage. The Cincin-
natl Gazette explains the first possession of
these boys by the kidnappers, thus:
I. Two or three weeks since, a man calling
himself John Orr, called upon the mothers
of these boys and hired them to go down the
river to work on his farm near North Bend
until the spring work was done. 1t seems
that he took them ON to st. Louis, and would
have sold them into slavery if he could have
found purchaser. The mothers first learn
ed the danger their sons had escaped yester-
day morning.
Mayor Faran communicated with the May
or of St. Louis yesterday, and requested that
the kidnapper be held until requisition
could be obtained.

The Mill Company.

We this week this commence the publica-
ton of the laws passed by the last Legisla-
ture, among which are some acts of import
ance, and those of them in our columns to-
day, are particularly so to the citizens of this
place and coul ty. The chartering of the
Mill Company was secured from motives COM
mensurate with the growth and prosperity
of Minneapolis. This company have posses
sion of the finest water power known to us
but which requires the outlay of a consider
able capital to make it permanently and un-
interruptedly useful. If the company act
wisely and we have no doubt they will, an
underground race or canal will be construct
ed before the present season passes. The
advantages to be derived from such an en-
terprisc are numerous, the greater of which
would be permanent hydraulic power, ca
pacitated to drive millions of dollars worth
of machinery, unobstructed by the ice in
winter, as the shafts and driving wheels could
be sunk below the reach of frost, an import
ant consideration in this latitude.
That portion of the Company with whom
we are acquainted; are men possessing enough
of energy and enterprise to accomplish such
a work as that prop ,sed, and should they be
seconded in their good intentions and noble
thing will be done worthy of them and the
place. Fifty thousand dollars would COM
plete the canal, which would pay at least ono
so, but machinery for manufacturing purpo-
ses would at once be brought into requisition
giving additional force and power to the ma
ny other advantages this locality possesses
in an eminent degree. -'
We believe this canal or water power will
be completed and made available, because
the pecuniary interests of the company de-
mand it. They have large interests in the
town which would be benefited thereby
For instance, every lot belonging to them
and others would be increased in value ir
proportion to the advantages derived from
general improvements, and no man of conf
mon business sagacity can fail to see that any
progress whatever in the improvement of oul
immense water power, would add pro-
portionately to the value and desirableness
of real estate generally. We shall look for
ward to the first of May next with some So
licitude, as that is the time set apart for the
assembling of the Company with view te
future operations. es f'sr 1a -

Maryland Colonization Society.


The annual report of this Society has
been published in the Baltimore papers.
From it we CLEAN the following facts: .
The Society, since it's last report, has sent
out to Liberia 1872 emigrants from Maryland
The whole number sent out previously was
1,135, including 1920 from Maryland, IS
from Virginia, and 80 from Georgia, besides
90 sent from Baltimore to Hayti, in 1882,
making the whole number 1856. The Board
makes its Acknowledgements to the officers of
the U. S. Navy, who, on visiting the coast of
Africa, take great interest in the welfare of
the colonists. The conduct of Com. Mayo,
of the African squadron, is particularly COM
mended. The report is signed by Charles
Howard, President, and is accompanied by
a short report to the Legislature, signed by
the same gentleman and Jadge Giles, State
Colonization managers. From the latter re-
port we take the following:
The number of manumissions in this State
since the first of January, 1854, as reported
to this Board, is 314, of which lis were to
take immediate effect, and 100 were pros
pective. The entire number reported to the
Board since their organization in 1882, was
1877, of which 1889 were immediate, and
303S prospective, or conditional. The amount
drawn by the State Managers from the
Treasury, from the first of January, 1854,
to the lst of January, 1856, is $4,000,
making the total amount drawn since the
passage of the act of 1852, $4,000. The
whole amount of this has been, and is being
expended by the Maryland State Colonial
ton Society, under the inspection of the
Board of State Managers, in the removal Of
free persons of color from Maryland to
Africa, and in providing for their establish
ment and support so far as is necessary, ac-
cording to the provisions of the several acts
of the General Assembly above mentioned.

e Decency is matter of latitude
says the New York Dutchman. In Turkey
a man with tight pants on, is considered so
great vulgarian that he is not tolerated in
respectable society. To spit in the presence
of an Arab is to make the acquaintance OF
his cheese-knife. In Russia, that man is
considered low who refuses warm break
fast consisting Of fried candles. In this coun-
try, vulgar people are such as keep good
hours and live within their income. Great
institution-this human family! zlt

AGED ENGLISH PoETs.-The oldest liv-
ing English poets, since the death of Mr..
Rogers, are said to Walter Savage Landor,
born l775; Leigh Hunt, born 4784; and
Barry Cornwall, born 1870. The Illustrated
London News remarks:
The only English poet who attained an
age of nearly equal duration with that at
tanned by Mr.. Rogers was the poet Waller.
Waller was born in 1905, two years after
tie death of Queen Elizabeth. He sat as a
member of Parl ament in the reign of James
I. He sung the panegyric of Oliver Crom-
well, and celebrated the restoration of Chas.
III. He was alive at the coronation of King
James II. He was like Mr.. Rogers in other
respects than his poetry. He was man Of
wealth, and he was wit. Waller at eighty
was still the delight of the House of Com
mons. Rogers at eighty-eight was still the
delight of the most fashionable dinner tables
in Tyburnia and Belgravia. The sayings Of
Waller have deservedly found a place in
some of the best volumes of our Ana; anG
the repartees of Rogers are likely to find 9
celebrity that is equally enduring.

HARVESTING GUM ARABIc.-In Morocco,
says an Eastern paper, about the middle of
November, that is after the rainy season,
which begins in July, gummy juice exudes
spontaneously from the trunk and principal
branches of the acacia tree. In about fifteen
DAYS it thickens in burrows, down which it
runs either in vermicular (or worm) shape,
or commonly assuming the shape of oval and
round tears, about the size of pigeons egg,
of different colors, as they belong to the
white or red gum tree. About the middle
Of December, the Moors encamp on the bor-
ders of the Forest and the harvest lasts for
six weeks. The gum is packed in very large
sacks of leather, and brought on the backs
of bullocks and camels to certain ports where
it is sold to the French and English mer-
chants. The gum is highly Rutricious. Du-
RIG the whole time of harvest of the Jour-
ney, and of the fair, the Moors of the des-
ert live almost entirely upon it; and expert
ence has proved that six ounces of gum are
sufficient for the support Of man twenty
four hours.

COUNTY CoMMIssIoNER.-We understand
that E. Rice, Esq, accepts the office of
County Commissioner, to which he was
elected on Friday. When men as deeply
interested as he is in County affairs-and
men so well qualified as he to attend to
them properly-are willing to 60 into the
County Board, we think we can about sec
the end of County robbery. The whole
people are under obligations to the County
Officers for making so good selection, and
also under Obligations to Mr.. Rice for con-
senting to to help undertake the administra-
tion Of County finances.
