We are gladstoAhear this of our St. An.
thony friends, Because II makes steam
boat connexions from st. Cloud and
Sauk Rapidsro st. Paul, Dubuque and
St Louis. Besides. we do not see, with
this arrangement why the St. Antheny
merchants can't sell goods to US up here
just as cheap as they can be sold in ST.
Paul, since it certainly costs more than
ten cents per 100 lbs to bring goods from
St. Paul to St. Anthony. We congrat-
ulate St. Anthony and Minneapolis on
the completion Of an arrangement so
essential to their interests as commercial
points. s bnt
There are sterling business merchants
there, whose interests this important ar
win greatly promote-men
who always avail themselves Of every
opportunity Of bene6tting those who do
business. with them. OF these we, give

The Empress Eugene of France is
fitting magnificent private bed cham
Der for herself, into which perhaps his
majesty will be allowed to look occa-
sionaIly. The coloring OF the walls is
in chalk. In the centre is medallion
in marble of the Empress, with the
Graces crowning her with garlands;
the Arts presenting their attributes, and
Fame flying around In the ceiling also
a Zephyr, surrounded with clouds
and carrying a basket of flowers, from
which Cupid rises with his bow and ar
row likewise Aurora, before whom
the genii of the night are represented
retiring The figure OF Cupid is a
portrait Of the Prime Imperial. '.

EDIToR OF New ERA:-I am glad
to see that the people in Minnesota are
waking up to the Importance of Rail
road to Lake Superior. always argu-
ed the Importance and necessity of such
road while was in Minnesota. Su-
perior occupies tn ) same relative posi-
ton to Minnesota that Chicago does to
Illinois and southern Wisconsin. and
whenever a railroad shall be built west
or southwest from Superior, thereby af-
fording direct communication with the
east through the great Lakes, then, and
not till then, can the producers of Min
nesota compete successfully with those
who produce in the country back of
Chicago.
On my way to the east, a year ago
last fall, | stopped in Buffalo, and took
pains TO inquire Of shippers there, what
difference, if any. there would be in the
tariff of freight between Chicago and
Superior, and ] was told invariably that
there would be ao difference. That
goods or produce could be shipped to or
from Superior just as cheap as from
Chicago. At that time tried to set on
foot project to build wagon road from
Superior to some point on the Mississip
pi-either St. Cloud or Sauk Rapids
Little Falls or Crow Wing. called
to see several gentlemen who were in
terested in property at or about Superb
or, and in the Copper Mines, and wrote
to several others. They all seemed
anxious to do something, but il was just
after the financial revulsion, and they
had not recovered from the effect of that
sufficiently to do anything just then, and
let the matter drop. In short time
Wisconsin will have road from Hud-
son to Superior, and that road will do a
large amount Of business when it is fin
ished, Cor Minnesota-but that is all
wrong-there should be road through
Minnesota which will accommodate the
upper valley of the Mississippi as well
as that part southeast If st. Paul, aud
drop in settlers along its line from Su-
perior to the valley of the great river
and give them a market without going
first down the river long distance. 1t
shonld be from the Upper Mississippi,
and no better point can be found than
Sauk Rapids or St. Cloud, for two very
good reasons in particular. First. the
country from there to the Lake is more
favorable for settlements, and equally as
favorable to build a road through as
from any other point. sa
Second, there is no point along the
Mississippi from whence the immensely
rich country west of that river, is SC
easy of access as ST, Cloud. Up the
valley of Sauk River is a good road
easy to travel, mostly over prairie, ant
the shortest distance through to tn,
grand prairie. s .;.
There is no country in the Unite,
States which offers greater inducement
to settlers than Central and Northerr
Minnesota. The soil is as good as car
be found, and easy Of tillage. the eli
mate perfectly healthy, and highly con-
ducive to yigor both Of body and mind

poverty, The Mercury is right, They
donot.' I Most Of them do not dream,
and cannot conceive, Of J the want, rpri-
vation, and utter dependence of the
hundreds o. thousands now dragging out
amiserablelexistencei in the great, cities.
We, a little while ago, saw it stated
thasa hundred and thirty thousand, were
last year. dependent on charity ia the city
of New York alone. Thousands habit
ually sleep out doors in the summer,
and beg, or steal their food when they
cannot find some little work to do to
earn few cents. In warm weather,
an empty dry goods box, a cellar way,
or an old sugar hogshead affords them
sleeping place. In the winter they
hunt up some out Of the way place, and
lodge on Cravings or straw; hundreds
without money, or credit, or friends,
applysto the station houses, where hard
dreary hunks are made up for these
homeless creatures Think of one.
hundred and thirty thousand human be-
-ings thus living on from year to year
begging old clothes and cold victuals
from door to door raking over old ash
heaps to find few bits of coal to burn
and keep them warm IN cold weather
scraping up from the filthy streets, rags,
and bones, cast out, with which to get a
few pennies. Think of them all ye in
this beautiful, productive land of Min
nesota. Think of condition in life.
where, when work fails or the worker
sickens, the little pittance that barely
sustains life, is gone and no hope but
gaunt hunger is left where "no work
means no bread" where sickness
means starvation and death Think of
these thousands upon thousands
out houses, without a foot of land
without friends-without employment
without the necessary clothing-wth
tood just enough and no more-to keep
soul and body together--and thank God
that you live in the country-that you
own landstfrom which you can raise an
abundance with ordinary industry-and
have house to shelter you and your
little ones. Really how little cause
have we in blessed Minnesota to COM
plain. What if money is scarce
What tho times, as the word goes, are
hard. How rich is the land-how cheap
in what abundance. Every man may
own a hundred and sixty acres. Every
acre Of it, well cultivated, will yield
enough to feed one person. Food is
found in abundance. 1t is cheap and
plenty Of it. No one within all our
borders need to want for any one OF the
comforts of life. Such a thing as real
poverty, poverty that knows no mercy
mo such thing is known or can be
known here. Let US rejoice with ex-
ceeding joy that our lines have fallen in
such pleasant places and say, with
smiling faces, as we ought to do, Min
nesota is our Garden of Eden.
