THE WEST.

l hear the tread Of pioneers,
Ofnations yet to be;
The first low wash of waves, where soon
Shall roll O human sea.
The elements of empire here
Are plastic, hot and warm,
And the chaos of u mighty world
Is roundi. 6 into form.
Each rude and jostling fragment soon
Its fitting place shall find,
The raw material of State,
Its muscles and its mind.

BcslueS great variety OF Machinery. Lime,
Brick, Groceries, &c., &C., &c., and 1896 pas
scngers,
These facts and figures certainly speak
for themselves. The Official Report for
the month Of November not having reach
ed us at the date of this address, We give
a few extracts from newspapers, showing
that up to the 25th of that month they
exceeded the imports of October. The
Detroit Tribune, of Nov. Is, says:
''Thc Steamer Montgomery left that port, last
night, with the largest load of supplies and
provisions ever shipped to Lake Superior
being not less than Eight thousand barrels bulk"
The Lake Superior Niner, of Nov. 5th,
says:
''We learn that the Lady Eygiu (of Chicaco)
brought on to the Lake twenty-five hundred
barrels Of freight; besides One hundred and
sixty-fve head Of cattle. The Elgin contcm-
plates making another trip. The Iron Cly, Of
Cleveland, arrived, bringing heavy load Of
freight. The Illinois brought from Detroit n
large load of freight. The Mineral Rock left
Detroit on the 10th of November, with full Six
thousand barrels bulk, etc.,

The first load Of copper, for the season,
left Ontonagon, May I'd, 1859; and tho
harbor was open up to the 5th of Dccem-
Der. The North Sor, in July 1858,
made one round trip from Cleveland to
the City Of Superior and return to Detroit,
1860 miles, in the space of 120 hours,
running time. During the trip, her
wheels made l11,206 revolutions. The
Propellers carry from 500 to $50 tons, and
several Of them, when urged, have made
Is miles an hour. During the season of
1858, the North Star made, from April
9th up to November %, nineteen round
trips of 2100 miles each, including stop
pages, from Cleveland, Ohio, to the City
Of Superior and return, equal to about
10000 miles of Inland Navigation. The
fastest trip of the season, by sailing YES
sci, was made in November, 1859. She
was loaded with $50 tons of iron ore,
urged by strong winds, and arrived at
Cleveland four and a half days from Mar
distance, through the four lakes
and three rivers, $50 miles. 49,. ".s
The shipments Of Copper ore, from the
Port Of Ontonagon, for 1850, were 2,C63

"masses" and barrels, worth nearly Two

ROMANCE IN REAL L1FE.-We learn
that Miss Harriet E. Smith, daughter
Of Horace Smith, of Spahord, will start
soon for Washington Territory away in
the Northwest beyond tho Rocky Noun
tains to marry man she has never seen.
Mr.. David Spalding, Jr., son of David
Spaldins of Spafford. The friends of the
parties. are intimate, and recommendations
to correspondence between the parties
which has been continued two years, has
resulted in a marriage contract-and the
young gentleman being engaged in a
profitable business which he cannot con-
venicntly leave, has remitted funds to his
dearie, with request that eshe should
join him there. We sincerely hope that
''the course of true love may run smoothly"
in this instancer-iSkanca'zcs Democrat.
SOMETHING ABOUT BAD1Es.-It is
stated by a medical writer, that young
babies often cry from actual thirst. Their
natural supply is intended as food, not as
drink, and makes them thirsty without
really quenching their thirst, as cool
liquid would: They cry for cold water
Many a mother is anxious to know what
ails the little sufferer, that it should cry
SO loudly, and imagining it to be suffering
from pain, administers somo unnecessary
opiate or pain killer, when all the child
needs is spoonful of good, pure, clear
sparkling. cold water. As the experiment
is very simple and easy one, let all moth
crs try it first before having recourse to
medicine.

How Douglas is to be put Through.

In reply to an article tuvoiiu. the H.
lnOls Senator in tho Augusta ga.
Coastit"tio"a1tst, the Savannah Rcpaj
Hcoa declares it is great mistake to
suppose that the Southern States will
submit to issues got up by politicians,
aud vote for Douglas under the fear of
Seward. The RefubHr0a then goes on
to observe: *n<
" Four flths Of thtm regard the 'pledg-
es' of Seward on tAe subject Of slavery
quite as unobjcctionabIe as the pledg $
Of Douglas /; and they will vote for anorh-
err candidate, whether their leaders order
to the contrary or not Should Douglas
be nominated at Charleston that other
candidate will be presented to their suf-
fra-es, and all the whips and spurs that
Democracy has ever invented will be pow
erless to drive the people from his sup
port. We tell this now to the friends of
Douglas, and give them timely notice to
prepare The people have no choice be-
tween Douglas and Seward, and the abo-
liticn raw head and bloody bones will
scare nobody at this late day. = X x s.
The Democrats Of the South are the best
drilled partisans on earth, and will make
any sacrifice to the success Of the party ;
but we tell the CoastttutioSaIia it i, a
fatal mistake to suppose that they are in
sensible to shame, strangers to principle,
aud will stand anything that may be put
upon them"
This language is the more significant
from the fact that the Republican is not

FAIRBANKS SCALES. Two brothers,
sons of miller IN the Northern part of
Vermont, having occasion for more
convenient method of weighing a bulky
article than by the old fashion hav scales,
contrived a more simple plan, for the
mechanism for which they took out a
pateut in 1880. The result was so sat
,sfactory that they applied the principle,
with progl cssive improvements, to other
descriptions of scales, until they now
furnish upwards OF one hundred varieties
Of scales, the largest of which will weigh
loaded canal boat of five hundred tons,
and so down to the incest bank or jewel
scale.
The world. wide reputation of the Fair
banks scales is owing, first, to the inge-
NOUS but simple mechanical arrangement,
and next, to the persistent determination
of the proprietors always to sell a first
rate article, and at a reasonable price -
Hence their scales are everywhere the
ACKNOWLEDGED standard, and at the same
time arc sought tor the cont oncst uses
BY this means they have built up mod.
Il town around their fathers cd mill its
character on honor to the State, and
desirable home for the families of their
