How Towns grow IN TIE NEST
The New York Tribune illustrates it by
the following notes upon Dalruth in Min
ncsota:
This is how they do things in Dull
ruth. On the oath of April of this year
there was not lumber enough in the
town of Dulruth to build more than one
house-and the entire population, all
told, numbered but 10 souls. Since
that time $50 buildings have been
erected, among them one hotel, the
Clark House, costing $4,000, and
another, the "Bay View" costing $l2,-
900; an Episcopal church which cost
$4,000 and is completed and organized,
and is a beautiful structure; Prcsby-
terrain church of large size and modern
design, which when completed will cost
some S 6,000 twonty-six stores, all OF
which are Of commodious size, and ono
steam planing-nill. Blacksmith and
carpenter shops arc quite numerous.
A brewery has been erected on Mime
sofa Point mile below Franklin Square.
| The demand for teams is undated, and
span of horses and wagon readily
command 81 per day. The demand for
real estate during the past month has
been active and sales made at advanced
prices. A lot, 35x65 feet, on Superior
street, has been sold for $1700 cash;
four lots on First street for 700 each,
and other lots at about the same rates.
$40, 900 cash was bid Cor fifty average
lots on what is known as the Nettlcton

This is $4,000 per lot for average lots.

WHO ARE THE YOUNG 2

The feelings which arc conventionally
assumed to be the Accomplishments of age
arc not its especial consequences. We
meet with old men and old women who
have not yet, according to common par
lance, reached their prime. The beauty
of youth has faded in them, or been
crushed out of them. The candle of life
though not half burned down to the sock
ct, seems already to emit that "sable
smoke whore vanishes the fame" Some
times suffering, sometimes sin, and not I'M
frequently both--the one the consequence
of the othcr-produce the ordinary eff
fccts of age prematurely while on the
other hand, we occasionally meet with
the freshness and elasticity of youth in
people who have long passed the grand
climacteric. But in this ''fast" era elder
Iy youths are more common than youth
full veterans. No man can walk the
streets of our towns and cities without
admitting that fact. Men who live ration
ally, moderately, in accord with the truc
purposes of life, are generally young in
spirit to the last but the sordid, the SEN
sual, the unsympathizing, whose hearts
are set wholly upon material things, al
ways grow old before their time, and
fluid in the end, that the idols they have
worshipped, at the expense of all that is
good and noble in human nature, can
give them neither help nor solace.

WHAT IS THINE AGE +?

"Father," said Persian monarch to
an old man who according to oriental
usage, bowed before the sovercign's
throne, "pray be seated; cannot receive
homage from one bent with years, and
whose head is white with the froSts of

''And now father" said the monarch,
when the old man had taken the proffer-
ed scat, 'stell inc thine age, how many of
the suns revolutions hast thou coun-
ted ~
"Sire," answered the old man, 81 am
but four years old"
"What," interrupted the king, "fear-
est thou not to answer me falsely or docst
thou Jest on the very brink of the tomb 7"
81 speak not falsely, SIRE" replied the
aged man, "nctther would | offer fool

OF debts, says: ''Sueh were the views of

t
, The Banner, still opposing the pro
posed State Convention to consider and
determine as to the advisability of nomi-
mating candidates for the Supreme bench,
says'there. fought to be but one senti-
ment as to the selection of candidates for
the Supreme bench" Perhaps so. But
we find that there is more than one senii-
ment. We find three aspirants in East
Tennessee, four at least in this division
of the State, and half dozen or more
in West Tennessee, all with very earnest
friends. True, as stated by the Banner,
no Radical nominations have been pro-
posed. We presume none viii be made.
But with their discipline and organi-
cation there viii be no difficulty in con-
centrating their entire vote upon the men
of their choice without public nomina-
tons. cg 0. .--F- -.
In its defense of Mr.. Ewing, the Ban
| 1ler quotes an editorial in the UNION AND
AMERICAN of December last, just after
Mr.. Ewing declined to become a candi-
date for the Constitutional Convention.
We have said nothing since in disparage-
ment of Mr.. Ewing's distinguished ability.
1t is universally acknowledged. 60
illegal ability is certainly our criteri-
on, " says the Bonner, of the fitness of
the candidate for judicial honors.
| Then if the present incumbents OF
the Supreme Bench were men of the
highest legal ability, according to the
| admission of the Banner it would sup
| port them for reelection. Not SO with
us. Their views of constitution and
had the 1egSI ability" Of Marshal, KEN
and Story combined. Again we could
not support them, with all this legal
ability, even if they entertained the same
views as ourselves of constitution and
government, and acted in such manner
as to promote the DISCRIMINATION of that
party upon whose success depends the
perpetuity of constitutional government.
We regret the course Mr.. Ewing saw
proper to pursue. The attempt of the
opponents of the proposed Convention to
cloak their hostility TO il under the guise
OF a defence of Mr.. Ewing's course does
not strengthen them and weakens him.
The Convention viii be held, and
should it determine to make nominations,
proper self-respect will prevent its mem
bers from selecting as candidate one
who has openly proclaimed that he does
mot expect to be in any manner bound
by the nomination of such Convention. -

asked: (Which of the old parties does

declaring ''that every OSmmunicant mar

OF the political situation in MassaChu-
sets, the Boston Journal says: Gin all
probability the Republicans will have as
their standard bearer Gov. Clafiin, the
Democrats will again rally around Col.
John Quincy Adams, and the Labor Re-
form party, if they desert Mr.. Chamber
lin, will put up Mr.. Colby, of Newbury-
port. There are evidences that the CON-
test will be exciting, and without doubt it
will in some respects be close one.
Much will depend upon the action of Con-
Cress and the acts which it can con-
summate to bring relief TO an overtaxed
nation" And it adds: ''The Democrats
purpose making strong effort to carry
the two Boston districts, and in one of
these districts an effort will be made to
induce third candidate to run. The re-
election of Hon. Henry Wilson will de-
pend upon the result of the State election,
and the prizes therefore of the next cam
paign will call forth the best energies of
our opponents"

KISSING THE PARsoN,

Whatever may be said or thought of
the piety and philanthropy of the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, as, a religious wag
he is inimitable. There is a jocosity in
his way of handling sacred things, says
the Baltimore Gazette, that we find in no
other preacher. He touches upon the
awful mysteries of the infinite and the
eternal in the most hilarious tone In the
forms and ceremonies of sects and
churches he can always find fun. A
pleasing account of the latest proceeding
of this clerical hnmorist is given by the
New York Herald. Plymouth Church
has had picnic. The pastor of Plymouth
(Mr. Beecher) was, of course, present.
On the boat, stimulated to unwonted mirth
by the good things which they had en-
joyed, the party determined on COM
pleted jolly day an entertainment ola
somewhat less worldly character than
the sports with which they had
beguiled the previous hours. So the
proper arrangements having been per-
fected, the Rev. Mr.. Beecher was ar
rested on the charge "of having gone
over to the Church of Rome" A jury
composed of males and females was en-
panelled and clergyman of Mr.. Beech
er's persuasion was the Judge. A long
Indictment was read, the substance of
which is not given US, but which we have
no doubt made lively sport of divers
things which some persons regard as the
very rock of their salvation. The most
comical part of the performance, however,
was ''the production of a photograph of |
Mr.. Beecher officiating at the altar |
of a Romish church, arrayed in the
full canonicals of a Roman Catholic
priest" How this elegant and origi
nal caricature was surreptitiously pre-
pared and held in readiness for the occa-
sion we are not informed. The evidence
was regarded as conclusive, and Mr..
8eecher was found guilty; and the 'Judge
passed the very capital punishment of Or
lering the six lady Jurors to kiss the pas
or Of Plymouth Church. /" Being
ladies, they seem to have had no sort
# objection to kissing a man, and the
congregation of Plymouth Church appear
have thought it perfectly natural that
heir pastor should be promiscuously
Used by the female members Thus
nded this cheerful and edifying travesty.
he picnic was eminently success. A
niff of fresh air, a substantial feed, a
urlesque on solemn things, and little
version smacking of free love, consti-
tied an admirable programme for Ply
louth Church. A jolly dog, indeed, is
eecher, who makes such pious fun and
IT'S paid in substantial kisses.
