Good One.

The other day, on the train for La
Cross, O. mvn handed Crippcn, the jolly
conductor whose head is always level, q
ticket for himself and one for his wife.
Six children, first boy, then girl, with
surprising regularity, claimed the two as
parents, and when Grip asked for fare for
tho rest, he was told tha. children under
six years of age, when accompanied with
their parents, passed free. The age OF
the little fellows being questioned, the
"gude wife took out an old family BIZ
bic, and proved to Crippen that she had
been married just six years and month
and that her children had all beer born
since she had been tied up with that little
silk string the post tells Of. The pater-
nal parent looked rs f all was right-the
mother looked satisfied-the passengers
looked p'eased-the conductor looked con
vinced, and the family together looked

Minnesota Sc Pacific Railroad

We are happy to state for the benefit
of parties who may have been waiting to
make investment i'll our section, for some
definite action on the part ofthe Directors
of the above road, that work has actually
commenced on this end Of the line.
Shanties have been erected Cor tho con
venieuce of the laborers and teams, who
are at present employed in tho ncghbor-
hood of Browns Crock; and the Goa
;ra tor, we understand, has made arrange
ments for a gradual increase in tho NUM-
Der of men and teams to be employed
throughout the winter. The wages are
ninety cents per day. without board.
The above is good news; for although
we were led at the commencement of the
railroad excitementin the State, to expect
that Saltwater would be among the first
favored by the whistle Of the locomotive,
still the chances were, from the dilatori-
ness of the parties concerned, that she
would be ignored altogether; while St.
Paul, Winona, st. Anthony, and other
rival cities rcaped the benefits Of the Con
gressonal grant and Of the Five Million
Lean Bill. We are willing to grant all
indulgence to the Directors for not under
taking sooner the deep cuts and expcn-
siye grading which lies between this city
and st. Paul, but trust that they will
now vigorously prosecute this work to its
final completion Saltwater Democrat.

Nearly four years ago the Minnesota Weekly

period to the present it has been battling for
the cause of freedom and the rights of man,
regardless of the ties of party or the sneers and
jibes of partizan leaders. BY pursuing a con-
sistent and s. ,ightforward career, by persist
cnt devotion x principles, it has won lis way
to public favor, I'D notwithstanding it is the
youngest of the city press it has attained a
very large and rapidly increasing circulation.
This has been accomplished. not by system
of self-laudation, but by the spontaneous pat
ronaon of its friends throughout Minnesota and

Tie Times has ever advocated, and will con-
tinue to advocate, the cause OF the people, and
in doing so it has advocated the cause of the
great Republican party whose principles it has
warmly espoused and will defend to the best
of its ability. 1t never has and never will pam
