Douglas Dishcartened.

The Chicago Herald, Buchanan Democrat,
states that tho Little Giant" and his
friends are frightened, and that a committee
of Douglas men have gone to Washington to
endeavor TO effect compromise for the sake
of their champion, whose defeat, without
Democratic support, the Herald says has be-
come an absolute certainty.
The Herald predicts that the committee
will fail of accomplishing their mission, and
will return convinced that the Democratic
party of the Union was not made FOR Mr..
Douglas or any other mere individual, that
the motto of the Administration is that "the
plank must be bent to the ship-not the ship
TO the plank
1t is fully evident that the Buchanan De-
inocracy Of Illinois will not yield an iota to
Douglas, and that unless he surrenders the
fight must go on.

The First News!

The news despatch under our Telegraph
head-direct from Europe to America
through by telegraph" in one day, is the
first appreciable realization to the popular
mind of the successful working OF the great
fact of the age. This dispatch was received
in 81. Paul on Saturday evening. = SuoSe-
uuent one was received by us 10y the Mil
waukee Yesterday, in two days from London
and three days from Paris
News from Europe in two days to st. Paul
Five tbnusand miles passed over in forty eight
hours And when we obtain our telegraphic
line the time of transmission will be still fur
Their reduced to half that period. Is it all
real. or merely Il dreaml
lit be true, as Spiritualists tell us, that the
ghosts of old Father HENNEPIN and old JON
ATTAIN CARVER, and Capt. ST. PIERRE, and
other early explorers of this region, still hover
here in the air, around the scenes of their
fame and glory, how their countenances-
spiritually speaking-must be continually on
the broadcast stretch of astonishment, as they
behold successfully the events which have
built up here in few years an Empire, and
then at last witness Time annihilated and
Space mastered, in order to link it with the
far-off world Of Sunrise. We, the beings OF

NeXY Kifie Cannon.

Small arms have been so perfected that !,il-
ling has become as easy as shooting, and IN
ventors who have taste for making war as
annihilating as possible have turned their at
tention to improvement of field and fort thun-
derers. A series of experiments recently
made with the new rifle cannon of SYLyANUs
SAWYER, of Fitchburg, Mass, under the di-
rec,ion of the Ordnance Department, has de-
monstrated a precision and execution that
establish new era in gunnery. At the dis
lance of mile the body of an ordinary tree
would not be missed once in fifty times, So
exact are its line shots. In seventeen shots
at one mile, superintendent by Mr.. SAWYER,
the farthest was not over three feet from the
centre.
The new cannon has groove like a rifle,
which forms circle in twenty feet. The ball
is shaped like the Minnie rifle ball, and is fill
ed with powder, which explodes after striking
and entering an object. The ball is timed,
then covered with lead, and ridges formed on
the surface fitting exactly the grooves Of the
bore. According to the official report the
rife cannon stands without rival.

A Law Student.

A correspondent of the Maysville (Ky)
Eagle gives an account Of singular affair
which occurred in the village of Aberdeen
CO., which created considerable excitement
IN that unusually quiet burg. We give the
facts as published in the Eagle:
S'me ten or twelve days ago there arrived
IN the village young gentleman, who regis
tered his name as II. w. Martin. A day or
two after his arrival he was found in the law
office of Squire Buck, reading law, and from
day to day was apparently very intent on &C
quiring knowledge of that science. 1t is
true he would occasionally sally forth in Quest
of cigar, or saucer OF ice cream, which I
am told he relished with quite gusto ard
staggering air. On Sunday morning last.
the Post Master received letter from Gin.
cnnati, in which the writer wished 10 know
whether a woman by the name of Ida Martin
was in the village; and stated that she was a
married woman, AID had left that city in COM
pany with man named Byers. The letter
was shown by the Post Master to Squire
Buck, on Sunday, and On Monday morning
the law student was gone Who brought her
to Aberdeen, or who took her away remains
a mystery. But Squire Buck and his law
student will serve tire good people of that
village to talk about for some time to come

Horace Greeley Explains the Pleasures
of being a Member of Congress-

Tie New York Tribune, a lew days ago,
read a lecture to Congressional asprants, in
which the writer very strongly depicts the
dogs life to which people subject themselves
by becoming members of Congress. Accord
ing to hin', life on tread-mill is quite toler-
able compared with that to which unhappy
men are sentenced by the vote of the people,
Mr.. Greeley has been there" and knows
whereof he afiirms. He says:
awe cannot comprehend the passion for a
seat in Congress What is it to be an honor
alb member? We will tell the adler what
it is. 1t is to live in mean hotels, and pay
magnificent bills; it is to be obliged to breathe
bad air, to st in an u iCOmiortabe seat, to ne
bored by long speeches ; to be impOrtuncd
Tor pamphlets, to attend to tic business of
other people, neglcct'ng ones own to exist
in perpetual fuss OF fanhing, to watch your
district much more closely than you watch
the kingdom of Heaven; TO miss your nights
rest, to be sandcred, to be bothered, to be
importuned to be embarrassed, to make
speeches listened to by nobody, to frank until
your arm aches, and to miss the greatest
GROWER in your district at last"

A REVERE ENDS OPINION OF ST.. PAULA
Reverend gentleman, who is now, we believe,
iusticating in st. Anthony, or near by, writes
to the New Covenant, paper published IL:
Chicago, in which he narrates visit to our
City, and pitches into it all around. After a
long rgmarole of stuff, he gets off the follow
ing moroccan
"Of St. Paul cannot say much commend
atOry. and | dislike to have recollection so
uniformly pleasant marred by one disagreed
BILE remembrance. l confess found little or
no attraction about the place."
The Rev. Gent must have been in re-
markably bad humor when he landed here,
or else the weather was very bad. What
was the "disagEeeable remembrance ?" Do
let as know.
Again:
Son the score Of natural attractiveness, or
artificial care for the pleasure and comfort of
travellers, St. Paul is unworthy of mention in
comparison. Its hotel accommodations are
meagre and unsatisfying."
Here he goes on in TRADE against the
Fuller IIouse-declared it was humbug and
an imposition, and had miserable accommo-
dations, with mean and stinted fare. We
should be inclined to laugh at the dyspeptc,
sour-tempered censures, but tue same SEN
tence contains fishy account of how some
of his friends had qlixotic battle with a
numerous and bloody oe," &C., which
sounds very manufactured, species Of license
not usually supposed to be common with the
clerical profession, even when distant from
home.
But we pass these little sour filings by
they are "disagreeable remembrances." St.
Paul stands yet, notwithstanding there are
'little or no attractions about the place.
But we have word of advice to our hotel
keepers: Remember to extend " the usual
privileges" &c, in all cases when claimed on
grounds Of The Cloth. A hotel landlord
ought always to know that demeanor and
port (not Port winc,) are no indexes Of the
profession in any case, no matter how the
title of Rec. is conspicuously written on their
Register. Insulted Vanity is always vindic
tive.

sharp Railroad Financiering---N. Y.
Central Il. IL.

Editors Of tie Pioneer and Democrat:
\ short time since | was at Red Wing, in
tending to take passage for Boston. lnquir-
ing OF the ticket sellers the price of tickets to
Boston, was told S37, 80. noticed that
the New York and Erie Road had noti-
ces up, saying that the price to Boston by
way of New \ ork city was $500 from Dun
kirk, being saving Of $3.50 over the other
route. The ticket seller told me that he could
not make that deduction bit if | 'c0uld
bug ticLet TO Buffalo, the fare would be re-
duced from there through, so as to make it
S34,00 from Red Wing to Boston and this
same story was told all along the route until l
got to Buffalo. Before we got to Dunkirk a
man came through the cars distributing bills
Of the y. Y. Central Railroad, with big head
ings Fare Reduced" "All the way by r..
Il. to Boston, $500 to New York." &C.,
&c. Now, if a person would not suppose
from such bill, and from what had been
previously told him, that tie fare was reduc-
ed from Buffalo to Boston, and if this course
was not taken expressly to deceive travellers,
then I'm no Judge of the English language
On inquiring at Buffalo for tickets to Boston,
1 was charged Sll,0O, $3.50 more than from
Dunkirk. 40 miles further West.
Now, Mr.. Editor, don't object to the n.
Y. C. r. r. charging eleven dollars from
Buffalo to Boston, and think l should have
come that way at any rate but do object
to this mean way OF taking in travellers. A
corporation CT the size of the New Y ork Cen
trail Railroad Company, that will stoop to
this smal-potatoe way Of getting custom, GER
tainly veriies the saying about having "no
soul collectively, while the souls of the Di-
rectors individually IF they have any can be
of but very little use to them. VIATOR.
The above communication is from a re-
sponsible gentleman now at Gardner, Maine /;
and our readers bound Eastward would do
well to guard themselves from similar imposi-
tions. This New York Central Railroad
Company appears to be getting in bad odor
all around, in its attempts one way and an
other, not only to impose ulon individual
members of the body polite, but to tie all
the other lines of transportation into "a Dun
die of sticks" for the particular benefit of
that great monopoly. A reaction on the
persistent efforts in that way has already COM
menced. The Buffalo Express states that the
Buffalo, New York and Erie Railroad now
does nearly all the passenger business; that
Z" as the travelling public becomes mOre fully
posted up n regard to the merits of the con-
troversy, and the Importance of sustaining a
rival route, even as matter of protection,
the tide over the New Y orh and Erie increas-
es, and that over the Central decreases in a
corresponding ratio. The public naturally
take sides with the weaker party, ard as a
general thing are so well acquainted with the
grasping policy and Encouragement Of the
Central road, that people are only too glad
to escape from lis clutches"

Henry Clay and Abraham Line DIN.

In lS44, when Douglas was vocilerating all
over Illinois that Henry Clay had sold his
country to Great Britain, that he was a
drunkard, liar, gambler, and grossly and
VIGOROUSLY licentious, Abe Lincoln was put
ting forth herculeau efforts to carry the State
for the great Kentuckian. And when the
August elections came off, and it became
apparent that Clay could not carry Illinois,
but that he might possibly carry Indiana,
Lincoln geared up his horse and wagon and
started for the lIoosier State, where he tray
eed four hundred miles, making speeches for
Henry Clay; nor did he start for home until the
day of the election of 1914, which made a
Tennessee Probate Court lawyer President
of the United States.

LOTS FOR SALE IN ANOKA.
PROPOSITION TO $5,OOO,OOO MEN,

Dr. FOSTER Dear Sir: The subscriber has some
Four Huhdred Lots in AnOka, which worth now in
cash down from 800 to $3.50 per each lot but
sell the above lots for 0ne-hd the above mentioned
sum. Because, he believes that should the Constitution
be amended proposed in the LOAF Bill property at
this place will not be worth in year Onealf its
present value. Taking into consideration the provis
ions of the charter We now have fair prospect for
Railroad the East side of the Mississippi River, within
reasonable time But in the Loan Bill there is nothing
that is binding upon the Company-no penalties attach
ed that weud prove enective for when the Loan
Bill is adopted it becomes part of the Constitution OF
Minnesota an the subscriber holds that in regard to
those provisions in the Constitution and in the Charter
which conflict, that such conflicting portions of said
Charter must give way and succumb tine Constitution
the supreme law of the land Let the Loan Bill be
adopted by the people, will stand in the place of the
charter, and should the company then violate its pro-
visions What then? Why the Companies are beyond
the reach of lawsther rights and franchises will still
stand, and no Legislative act be passed declaring
them void.
The subscriber is friendly Railroads ard he believes
they will be built under TIE provisions of the
CAarter given to the Railroad Companies than they
will by the provisions of the amendment to the Const
tuition.
For this reason, he is ready sell above stated as
soon as the Loan Bill is accepted by the people,
Now if there is any that has faith and confidence
in the Mississippi and Pacific Railroad Company, that
6eieUes intends build the Road the East side
the Mississippi with any portion of the money they may
get from the sale of State Bonds they have chance
to buy the subscriber out in Anoka, and make a
tune, if they have their faith and confidence realized

Revival of ChiValry.

Late letters from Rome announce the in
tention of the Papal Court, to re-establish
vie ancient order Of the Knights Hospitalers
OF Jerusalem. The organization is to be reg
uaily formed On the primitive basis of the
order, but not for the same object, which in
the old time was the conquest of the infdel
Saracens. This is business in which the
Pore would not now be allowed to engage.
The seat of the order, it is said is to BE- at
Jerusalem; where the field of its achievements
will be, Is yet matter of conjecture.

A Pregnant Fallacy.

The Washington Union, getting holder and
boldcr as the Illinois election approaches and
frantic at the prospect of total defeat OF Sill
dell, Cobb, Fitch, Bright and Bigler, allies OF
the Republicans declares that it is pregnant
iallacy" to say that Democrats should not aid
in the election of Black Republicans. Here
is what it says:
A PREGNANT FALLACY.
We published yesterday short letter da-
ted more than a month ago, of the Hon. Jas.
S. Green, one of the United States Senators
from Missouri, on the subject of the triangu-
lar controversy in Illinois, in which we find
this pregnant fallacy:
"No doubt Douglas did us great and Sc
rious harm during the last session, but trust
Democrats will never be so eager for revenge
as to countenance the election of q Black Re-
publican.'
