A CAPITAL ToAsr.-At a recent printers,
festival-no matter where it was held-the
following capital toast was drank:
The Editor-The man that is expected to
know everything; tell all he knows, and
guess at the remainder; to make good his
own character-establish the reputation of
his neighbors, and elect all candidates to
Office; to blow everybody. and reform the
whole world; to live for the benefit of others
and have the epitaph on his tombstone of.
"Here he lies at last"-in short he is To-
comotive. running on the track of public no.
toriety; his lever is his pen; his boiler is fill
ed with ink; /; his scissors are his tender; his
driving wheel is public opinion, whenever he
explodes it is caused by non-payment of sub
scriptions; he is always expected to lie on all
occasions, without fee OF emolument, which
be always objects to do.

WE acknowledge the receipt off pamphlet
entitled '.Epidemic Cholera; its modes of
treatment and their respective results" by
DIR. John F. Geary, N. d. The author, who
is Homeopathic physician. endeavors to
prove that his method of cure is superior to
the AITopathic manner of treating this dread
full scourge. As we have never had the chol-

either class of physicians. we are unable to
give an opinion on their merits.

Salt as Manure.

John Johnston, of Geneva, New
York, who is authority on wheat-cul-
ture, says:
i did last year what 1 never did
before that was blowing q wheat
stubble and sowing again with wheat.
1t is a respectable looking crop now,
but if you saw half of the field that l
sowed salt on, say full barrel to the
acre, / am almost sure that you would
order forty or fifty barrels of second
quality salt to SOW in September or
October. The sailed wheat stands
much thicker on the ground is con-
siderably taller, came in ear fully four
days before the other, and altogether
looks richer in every way; and as l
had not salt enough to SOW the whole
field, sowed the half that has hith-
erto brought the worst crop and lat
est in ripening Now il is much the
best. l can stand in tho middle of
field and look for twenty-five rods
each way and see how far the salt
came, or l can walk or ride down the
side Of the field whore not sailed, and
see the line as plainly as il one side
was corn and tho other wheat II
this wont make men experiment with
salt / don't know what will.

Josh Billings on Skating.


Havin herd much sed about skating
parks, and the CRATE amount ov helth
and muscle tina was imparting to the
present generation at site advanse
from fust cost, bought ticket and
went within the tense.
/ found the ice in a slippery con-
dishun, covering about 5 akers ov ar
tyfShall water, which waz owned bi q
stock company, and froze tew order.
Upon wun side ov the pond was
ereckted little grosery bildings, where
the wimmin sot on benchis while the
fellers (kivvered with blushes) hitched
the magic iron to their feet.
1t waz most existing scene: the
sun was in the ski-and the wind waz
in the air-and the birds were in the
Southland the snow waz on the
ground-and the ice lay shivvering
with bad kold-and angels (ov both
genders) fluctuated past me pro and
con, 2 and fro, here little and thare
a good deal.
1t waz most existing scene;
wanted to holler "Bully % or lay
down and role over.
But i kept in, and aked with glory.
Helth waz pictured on nanny a no
bell brow.
AS the femail angels put out ov the
pond, side bi side with the mail an
gels, it was tho most powerful scene
ever stood behind.
The long red tape frum their necks
swum in the breeze, and the feathers
in the Jockeys futtered in tho breeze
and other things (tew mulch to men
shun) huttered in the breeze.
/ don't think that was ever more
crazee before in my life--on ice.
For 2 long hours stood and gazed
with dun excitement.
/ felt like kanall boss turned sud-
denly out tew grass.
/ didn't know how to proceed.
Az one of the angels, more sudden
than awl the rest, cum FLEEING down
the track, 3 lengths ahed of her male
angel, awl eyes ware gorging with
her heavenly bust of speed; she
scanned to have cut luce from earth,
and was bound South, for the Cape OF
Good Hope, when awl tew onst, with
a gorgours swoop terriffick, down
crumbling into a limpid heap she
went, with squeal terrifiick, living
lovely mass of dissastrus skirt and ia.

Awl gathered around the bursted
angel but 10 in q minnitts space

ABOUT ST. CLOUD.

.. Fl. Kelley Esq, writing to the
St. Paul Pioneer concerning trip up
this way, makes the following mention
OF our city:
Since the completion Of the railroal to
St. Cloud marked degree of progress
is visible, good number of buildings
have been erected during the past year
and the merchants claim that within
twelve months the business Of the place
has fully doubled. The Union mills are
shipping -four to Chicago and are pay
ing out from $500 to $1,000 daily for
grain and transportation-du:in ing the
two last months they have averaged
$500 daily.
Visitors coming to this place will
fi.4d the Central a good house and Hay
ward generous feeder. The Livery
Recommendations arc also capital, where
good teams Can be procured.
St. Cloud is the great wheat depot
for the Sank Valley, but Of this years
crop [ will speak further as I 80 up
the Valley.
The Merchants of St Cloud ere wide
awake and liberal in their dealings
while their paper ranks as number one
at St. Paul The stocks Of goods Oh
hand and being received indicate that
business promises we'll for the fall and
winter.
The Times changed hands a short
time since, and is now edited by A. J.
Reed ESQ.,, formerly Of Winona. The
pa. II has materially improved in both
ij;.:.l and commercial aspect.
!. The st. Cloud JOURNAL formerly the
Democrat, is edited by ". B. Mitchell,
and is capital paper.
There is always satisfaction in Wis
ting our frontier towns, there is a COL
.iiality among the people and If l may
judge from the manner in which their
tables are spread at both the hotels and
private residences, there is no fear of
famine this year.
The place is we'll supplied with
churches of various denominations
From information given me regarding
the schools regret cannot speak
tavorably. This fault should immcdi-
atcly be rcmedied. There is no ex-
cuse for town containing-inhabit-
ants with our]ibcral State provisions,
being almost destitute Of first class
schools. While you arc making such
rapid progress, it is poor policy to neg
lect literally providing for the proper
education OF the little ones that must
soon fill your places.
