The st. Paul Press publishes a letter
from Duluth which says that great excite
ment has been created there by the arri.
val of large body of armed Fenians en-
route to the aid of Riel at Red River. The
letter says:
Each man is well armed with breech-
loading rifle, revolver and knife. Their
plans, OF which they made no secret, are
to 10 northward from here to RAINY Lake
or river, via Vermillion Lake, over the
route lately travelled by DR.. Schultz.
Their first stroke will be the capture of
Fort Francis, on Rainy Lake, which will
be garrisoned by few men, while the
main army will harrass and dispute the
passage of the British troops through the
rivers, swamps, and mountains from Fort
William to Red River. At the proper
time they will march down and join Riel's
forces. One party has already started
overland py the vermillion road, and an,
other will soon fo!law, and third is pre-,
pairing to the same. destination in canoes
by way of the St. Louis and Vermillion
rivers. They will march directly west to
Red River over the traveld roads, crossing
the Mississippi at Grow Wing. The forces
here are all said to be commanded by
Confederate officer, who sue.

We have Congress who are advised
by official figures, that despite the extra
ordinary expenditures, there will be sur
plus revenue of 1925, 900, 900 for the wear.
and yet they reject all propositions to re.
duce taxation. The Senate has lust voted
to renew the income tax and instead of
reducing the taxes upon the common ne
cessaries of life, the House is now con-
sidering bill to increase them in various
ways. We have corps of revenue officers
at Washington who, instead of admins
tering the law fairly and equitably, devote
all their ability to the discovery of new
and ingenious modes of hunting down
the taxpayers, to extort extra shillings
and additional pennies under tschnicali-
ties which would disgrace Police Court
pettifogger, relying upon the fact that
nlnety-nine men out of every hundred
would rather pay an uni ust tax than stand
lawsuit with the government. And
now, to cap the climax, it is proposed to
pass bill to contract the currency to the
amount of $500, 900, 900 in one year. and
bankrupt everybody who has not already
been bankrupted by paying taxes, under
the pretence of reducing the interest on |
o small portion (less than one-eighth) of |
the national debt-a scheme, the very |
shadow of which has paralyzed every de-
partment Of trade and industry in the
United States.

The LOST DINNER.-In the town of
Newcastle, in England, there was man
by the name Of Patient joe He worked
IN coal mine. He was called Patient.
Joe, because if giief came to him he
would say, "lt's all for the best those
who love God shall find all things work,
together for good
If things went well with him Joe would
praise God; and if things went i'll with
him he would praise God; and say, ''God
knows best what's for my good. We
must not Judge of things by this life
alone; there's a life to come after this;
and things that may not seem good for us
here may be good for US there"
LII tllC CDdi- Elb w IlCIC cOc WOIhCu, SOUlG
of the men would jcer and laugh at him
when he said, "It's all for the best"
There was man by the name of Tim
who would lose no chance to laugh at
Joe.
One day, as Tim and Joe were getting
ready to so down into the pit, Joe who
had brought his dinner Of bread and
bacon with him, laid it on the ground for
a moment. Before he could take it up, 2
hungry dog seized it and ran off.
''Ha, hal cried Tim, ssIt's all for the
best, is it, man? Now stick to thy creed
and say Yes
'WeH, I do say Yes" said Joe; 'sbut
as ! must eat it is nay duty to try to get
back my dinner. If get it back it will
be all for the best, and if I don't get is
back, why il will be all for the best, just
. the same. God is so great, that he can
rule the smallest things rs well as the
greatest"
/ SO Joe ran after the dog; and Tim
with a laugh and all oath, went down into
the coal pit. Joe ran a long way, but
could not catch tie dog. At last Joe gave
up the chase, and came back to the mine,
thinking to himself that the men would
have a good laugh at him.
But he found them all pale with alarm
and awe. "What narrow escape you
have had, Joe." said one ofthem. 'The
pit has caved in, and poor Tim is killed
II that dog had not run off with your din
ner you would have gone with Tim into
the pit and been killed, too
joe took off his hat, and while his
breast heavcd and his check grew pale,
and the tears came into his eyes, he look
cd up to heaven but said not word.

A late cory of the Journal, of Nancy,
which came to hand recently, says:
That which wounds us more than all
else, is the condition Of our unfortunate
farmers, dwellefs in the country. Our
tears flow at the sight of long lines Of
wagons laden with oats. hay and provis-
ions of every kind to be given over to the
Prussian army. The fine horses, which
were TO prepare earth for the seed of the
future harvest, have been harnessed to
the Prussian cannon. Since everything
is scattered and destroyed on this day
after the harvest it equally follows that
remarkable barrenness Of the country
must cnsue.
! The difficulties of an entire year are
crowded into one moment. The ruin is
complete and unspeakable. Long years
will be necessary to repair the damages
of these few days Of invasion

The New York Times says: 1t is terri
bic thing to hear of woman's being shot
in cold blood by military authority, and
yet such fate is reported to have over
taken French vivandier lately at May
ence. A private letter written to London,
and printed in a newspaper in that city,
says that this woman was passing some
German soldiers who were mortally woun-
ded, and who besousht her for water.
Terrible to relate--and for the honor Of
human nature, We must add, difficult to
believe-.she gave the dying wretches
boiling oil She was subsequently cap
tured and shot. If such things as this.
can be, we have little cause indeed to
boast OF the civilization of the nineteenth
century; and yet the same mail that brings
us this dismal story tells US, on the author
ity of Il Opinion Natioaale, that nun,
in succoring wounded soldier, had both
legs taken off by cannon shot. The
last story is more probable than the first,
for on battlefield how could viyan-
diere, or anybody else, get boiling oil to-
pour down soldiers throats? Did she
carry sbachelor's Kettle" round with
her?

The Governor has appointed and the
Senate confirmed the following gentle
man=as a Board of Managers for the
different Soldiers Orphans Homes to be
established in Ohio: James Barnett, of
Cuyahoga, for the term Of five years !;
J. Warren Keifer, of Clarke, for FIVE
years Benz. F. Coates, Of Scioto, and
Ralph P. BuckIand, of Sandusl<y, for
four years each Barnabas Burns. of
Richland, for three years ; Manning F.
Force, of Hamilton, for two years; and
John S. Jones. of Delaware. one year.
This county, it will be seen, has been
given member of the Board and we
predict that General Jones will prove to
be the right man in the right place, In
view of the probable location Of one of
the Homes at White Sulphur Springs the
responsibilities of the resident member
become important We. do not believe
White Sulphur a suitable place for the
Home, but if that institution does not
turn out well it will not be the fault of the
resident Manager, So far as its success
depends upon that officer it is assured in
General Jones appointment. He will be
equally Trustee for all the Soldiers Or
phans' Homes in the State and as such
is equally competent. The selection of
General Jones is one of the very best
that could have been made.

Railroad Company.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, con-
necling the Atlantic coast and the magnih-
cent harbors of the Chesapeake Bay with
the Ohio River at point of reliable navi-
cation, and thus, with the entire Railroad
system and water transportation of the
great West and Southwest, forms the ad-

so imperativeIy demanded for the accom-
mediation of the immense and rapidly
growing transportation between the Attain
tic seaboard and Europe on The one hand,
and the great producing regions of the Ohio
and Mississippi Valleys on the other.
The Importance OF this Road ms n
new outlet from the West to the sea
magnifles it into one of national conse-
quence, and insures to it an extensive
through traffic from the day of its compile
tion; while, in the development of the ex-
tensive agricultural and mineral resources
of Virginia and West Virginia, it possesses,
along its own line, the elements of a large
and profitable local business.
Thus the great Interests. both general and
local, which demand the com mpletion of he
CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD to the
Ohio River, afford the surest guarantee Of
its success and value, nd render it the
most Important and substantial Rail-
road enterprise now tn progress tn

Its superiority as an East and West route,
and the promise of an immense and profit
able trade awaiting its completion, have
drawn 10 il the attention aud cooperation
of prominent Capitalists and Railroad men
of this City of sound judgment and known
integrity, whose connection with it, to-
gether with that OF eminent citizens and
business men of Virginia and West Vir-
ginia, tnsures an energetic, .iOnoraEle,

which viii connect the Chesapeake and
