The Schools.

The Schools.
After a vacation of week, our city
schools are again in session. Since our
last issue, cessation of hostilities has
been declared the belligerent forces with.
drawn. and negotiations are now so far
advanced that peace we think is assured
E. s. Reed, county Superintendent of
St. Croix county, has been engaged as
principal, to conduct the schools for the
unexpired term. Mr.. r. some time
since had charge of the High School at
River Falls, which he conducted success
fully and only resigned to accept the pos
ition of county superintendent. He is a
teacher of acknowledged ability and en-
viabe reputation.
All good citizens deprecate the I" I'm
pleasnntness +" lately enacted in our
schools, and now that it is past, we hope
and trust all viii lend willing, hearty
support to the new dispensation.

The Duauth Route.

Shippers Who have sent wheat and
flour 20 eastern markets BY way of Du-
Iuth and the Lakes speak most encoqr
agingly of the experiment and seem
well satisfied with the result.
The Red Wing Argus says Messrs
Hubbard & Browns first shipment Of
-four by the Duluth route, on the 9th
Of September, reached New York three
dsys before another shipment by Chica-
90 on the 81 Of Oct, Der. And the
new route is zoe barre. cheaper than
the old route, which is good thing on
-four.
The Hastings Union says, on the 10th
Of last month ]. F. McGrath, ESQ.,, a
wheat buyer of that place, shipped
about 1000 bushels Of wheat at an ex-
pertinent over the Lake Superior road
and via the Lakes to Detroit. A day or
two ago Mr.. McGrath received bis re
turns with the gratifying result of hav-
ing realized some 81 cents per bushel
net, over wheat shipped TO Milwaukee
the same day.
Cheap transportation is what we want,
and situated as this section is, with so
many divergent competing lines, present
AMI prospective, Of railway and river
transportation, we must be able to secure
the very lowest rates of freight on all
articles of shipment. As soon as the
new city Of Duluth has increased its
shipping facilities, we predict that the
northern route viii be n favorite one
with -four andgrain dealers 10y reason
of lis safety, facility and cheapress.

variety of interesting articles relating to
the early history of our sister state. An
article on Indian Warfare in MiDneso-

1.-THE Dakotas had traditionary ac-
counts Of very few battles where many
were killed, yet such an event, if it oc
CURED, would not be soon forgotten -
They often spoke of an attack made by
the Chppewas long ago, on a party Of
Dakotas who were encamped on the Mis-
sissippi where Prescott now stands, in
which many Dakotas were killed
We are informed by old settlers that
the Dakota camp was on the fiat where
Dudley's mill now stands. The Chippe
was attacked from the bluffs overlooking
the river, making terrible havoc among
their enemies. Many Mr. Lo' bit

MISSIONARY INCREASE IN NAB
AGASCAR.

The London Missionary society have
received a strong appeal from the mis-
sionaries in Madagascar for large in
crease of their force, if they are to hold
the town, and keep pace with the spread
Of Christianity, especially since the open
adhesion of the Queen of the country.
The appeal speaks of their increase as
astonishing and, it is added that, 'be-
tween May, 1867, and December, 1868,
80, 900 were added to the number attend
ing our services, and that the number Of
separate congregations had, during the
same time, risen from ninety-two to 148.
The current year bids fair to show even a
more remarkable increase. Already TWEEN
ty or thirty new congregations have been
formed since January, and some of the
existing congregations have been doubled
within the same time. About 100 chapels
are at the present time being either built
or enlarged The missionaries have es-
tablished a system of iinerancy to main
tain practical oversight Of the churches
each one speaking part of every week
in such service.

AT the close of the war of 1912, the
late Gen. Wool was taken home TO be
treated for terrible wounds received in
battle When convalescent be had to pay
a surgeons bill which left him almost
without q dollar As soon as he was well
enough the government sent him on a
military mission to the West, where he
remained five years, and never drew his
pay in full, but took enough only to dc
fray actual expenses. At the close of his
appointment the United States owed him
$50, 600. "This, said Gen. Wool, just
before he died, ''was the only money I
ever made in the whole course of my
life! But always kept that out in safe
investment at good interest. In fifty years
this 800, 900 has grown TO 100000"

Mr.. Beecher disclaims-a and it is only
fair 10 him TO state it--any personal bene-
fit in these increased rentals. His salary,
he said privately last night, would he the
same if the pews sold for a million of dol
lars. The trustees spend the money in a
variety of useful and charitable ways, as
in the building of the Bethel in Hicks
street, at cost of $40, 900. As TO the
mode of the sale, he says that it is the
only mode that could be adopted by which
his vast congregation would be satisfied
that there was no favoritism shown. The
question, however, returns, is it worth
while going so near to a worship at the
shrine of Mammonto get so little? Between
Mr.. Muller, of Bristol, in England, and the
homeopathic physician in Philadelphia,
who both support vast establishments Of
charity by a simple, child-like trust in God,
and Mr.. Beecher's auction at Plymouth
church, how great is the gulf

The San Francisco papers complain Of
the extravaganza of the churches of that
city. Normally, religion is supposed to be
the consolation of the poor, but in the
Queen of the Pacific Slope it is a luxury in
dulge Think of $1,000 pews OF
course, as the San Francisco CAL points
ont, respectable families viii not care to go
to church if they cannot go on the same
terms as their more wealthy associates.
But when the single item Of music in these
churches costs about SlO,0 there are
not many even in the Golden City Who
will find it easy to support the enormous
assessments which their religious services
impose on them.

I sit IN the twilight dim,
AT the close Of an idle day,
And hear the soft, sSeet hymn
That rises far away.
And dies on the evening air:
Oh, al day long they sing their song,
Who toll, in the valley there.
But never a song sing I,
Sitting with folded hands,
The hours pass me by,
Dropping their golden sands:
And ! list from day TO day
To the tick, tick took, Of the old brown clock,
Ticking my life away.
And see the sunlight fade,
And see the night come on,
And then, in the gloom and shade,
weep for the day that is gone
Weep and wall in pain,
For the Enisspent day that has flown away,
And will not come again.
Another morning beams,
But forget the last,
And sit in my idle dreams,
Til the day is Overpast:
Oh, the tOIleT's heart is glad.
For the day Is gone, and the old night comes on,
But mine Is sore aud sad
For / dare not look behind:
No golden shining, sheayes
Can / ever hope TO md;
Nothing but WitkCred leaves.
An dreams very sweet,
But viii it please If only these
! lay at the Masters feet?
aud Wat VIII the Master say
To dreams, and nothing more.
Oh. idler all the day!
Think, ere thy life is DER
And when the day grows late.
Oh soul of sin, viii He let you in
There at the pearly gate?
On. idle heart, beware,
On 10 the field Of strife,
On TO the valley there,
Aud live a useful life
Cp, do not wait a day:
Tor the Old brown clock, with its tick, tick tock
. Is ticking your life away.
