Death OF Richard l.. Wilson.

We record with deep sorrow the death OF
Richard l.. Wilson, senior editor Of the
Chicago Journal. He was an able writer
and generous, warm-hearted man. Wher-
ever known, he was respected, and where
known best, there was he most loved.
Mr. Wilson was native of Connecticut
and removed to Chicago some twenty years
ago. He is one of the oldest editors of the
state, and has been connected with the
Journal since its commencement Thorough
ly earnest in his views, and courageous, he
never hesitated in expressing and defending
them, whether in majority or a minority
yet so upright was he, that his sterncst op-
ponents accorded to him the highest quail.
ties which ever characterize an honest man
Mr.. Wilson died in the prime of man.
hood just at that period Of life, when the
power of the mind begins really to develop
itself. Though early gathered to his fathers
yet has he left behind him the influence o.
a strong intellect and noble heart.-CAica
go Tribune.

DESIGNATION AT MOUNT VERNoN.-The
Washington correspondent Of the Philadcl-
phia inquirer says: Just after leaving the
railroad depot, one notices Oh the right a
new building of considerable dimensions
and evidently intended for manufacturing
purposes of some sort. 1t appears that some
one or more adventurous individuals have
purchased Of the propretors of Mount Yer
non all the trees and shrubbery left on the
estate, at a cost it is said of twenty thou
sand dollars. The building and machinery
spoken of will probably cost ten thousand
more, and this large outlay is to be rem-
bursed by the manufacture and sale OIL
Washington or Mount Vernon canes. You
will perceive that it will require sale of a,
least thirty thousand Of these canes, at az
low price as one dollar apiece, in order to
repay the original capital invested.

ILLINOIS, AN INTEREST PAYINs STATE
Illinois has at length achieved a proud posi-
ton for herself She is now clear of all the
embarrassments occasioned by her heavy
state debt and will hereafter stand among the
interest pay ing states of the Union. She
has in the last few years incre ased so enor-
mously in all the elements of wealth that the
tax assessments applied by law to the pay
ment of the interest on the state indebted
ness, are now quite sufficient to meet the
entire amount. Heneeforth she enters upon
new career Of greatness. Not only is she
now able to meet the accruing interest, but
ample provision has been made by which
the principal of the debt Is also gradually
being paid off, For this purpose, On the
first of January next over half million, the
proceeds of the two mill tax, will be distri-
buted in this city. At the present rate of
decrease, it will not be many years before
Illinois will be cleaF Of debt, clear of onerous
taxes, and with a revenue derived from the
Central road, amply sufficient to meet the
ordinary expenses cf the state government.
Verify, Illinois is staring a bright future in
the face.-IUiaois Journal.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WAsHINGroN. Dec. 10.

ASHtNGloN, DcC. IL.
The arguments in the bred. Scott case
were concluded yesterday. The court took
time for consideration, and the decision will
not be made for several weeks and perhaps
not until the end of the term.
Three days, commencing from the. third
Tuesday in January, were set apart for the
consideration of Territorial business. The
bill which passed the Senate at the first ses-
sion, authorizing the people of Kansas to
form Constitution and State Government
for their admission into the Union
on an equal footing with the original States,
was referred to Committee on Territories
The other Senate bills laying over from the
first session were referred to the appropriate
Committees, including many relative to har-
Dor and river improvements.
The Committee on Territories in response
to numerously signed petition from the
people of Minnesota to-day, agreed to report
a bill authorizing them to form Constitu-
ton for State Government. No action was
taken in relation to the proposed new Terri
tory of OriZonia.

a MAGLABECCHI IN New YoRK-Tt is
is related of agliabecchi, the Italian linguist,
that he lived to old age exclusively within
the walls of his native Florence. We have
in \. York, as is well known to his acquain-
tances, a similar instance in Mr. Hart, now
between forty and fifty years old, who was
born in this city, and has -ever been outside
of the corporation, except in single instance
when he crossed over to Brooklyn in steam
boat and returned without landing.
Mr.. Hart for many years did business as
apawnbroker onChatham street; he acquired
an ample property, and retired from business
when about forty years of age. He was for
merly one of the heaviest stockholders in the
Third Avenue Railroad Company, vet he
has never been above the first section of this
road, which extends to 61st street.
The most remarkable fact in connectisn
with his history is, that he has neuer seen q
locOmotire-from which it will be perceived
that he has passed his life almost entirely in
the lower part of the city. He has never
been in the Crystal Palace, and, it is said
has not even been in sight of it.-NY. Post

ACCIDENTS AT STILLwATER-NYe learn
from the Messenger that few days since,
some laborers were engaged in excayating at
at the head Of Chestnut street large body
OF earth gave way, fracturing the skull of
one of the men. His physicians say he can
not recover his health in less than six months
if at all.
On Friday evening last as a number OF
teams were coming into town on the Marine
road, one Of them became frightened and ran
over man driving team in advance OF
them, seriously if not fatally injuring him.
The injured man is a Swede, whose name
We did not learn. He was brought into town
in an insensble condition and his recovery is
extremely doubtful.

Local items from the Minneapolis
Democrat

MINNEAPOLIs LyCEUM.-The Lyceum has
been revived under the most flattering pros
poets. It's weekly meetings are held in
Woodman's spacious Hall and the average
attendance is very large-about five hundred
On the evening that Mr.. Newson lectured,
the receipts at the door were 1886. Last
Tuesd evening the first number of the
second volume of the Ladies' Wreath was
read by Miss Coolbaugh, who is said to have
acquitted herself with honor. The dispu-
tants handle the topics introduced for discus
sion with decided ability-more so than in
any other lyceum we have ever attended,
which is proof positive that Minneapolis has
an unusually intelligent class of citizens.
Pork PACKING IN MINNEApoLIs.-An nice
drove of large fat hogs were brought into
this place last fall by l. f. Woodman & Co.,
since when they have been slaughtered and
packed, to the amount of over Sc, 900. This
is the commencement of the pork business
in Minnesota.
Observation-Disclosures will be a meeting at
the Lyceum Hall in Monticello, on the
evening of the first Monday in January
when the question of the propriety of open
| ing {; road from Minneapolis to Monticello.
by way of Hassan, will he discussed. De-
| legatcs from Minneapolis are invited to at
tend.
MINNEIIAHA Hook AND LADDER COMPANY
We are glad to see the young men of Min
neapolis awake to the interests of the place
in respect to a we'll organized Fire Depart
ment. They are taking measures to secure
proper apparatus, and have adopted the plan
of raising the necessary funds from the pro-
ceeds of New Years ball and supper, as
will be seen by an advertisement in another
column. A stated meeting of the company
will be held in Elfelt's Hall on Monday
evening next.
Town CLocK.-The only town clock ir
the Territory is now accurately pointing to
the progress of Time on the top of E
F. Grains City Jewelry Store, Minneapo-
lis, Mr.. G. deserves the praise and patron
age of the citizens for his enterprise ant
public spirit. In regard to time, he is now
prepared to insure accuracy, having engaged
gentleman to furnish it once week from
lunar observations.
Found DEAD.-A man by the name o
Lord who resided on his claim not far from
General Bartholomew in Rchland Pre-
cinct, was found dead in his bed on Christ
mas morning. A coroner's jury was called
; but without learning the cause of his death
DR.. Anderson, of this place, was present
