aaks "What is il all about
The Now York Times (Republican y

that Butler's charge of triokery in

TO the fifty-oight Republicans who
voted for it.
The Now York Herald, which is
both Republican and Democrat and
independent and nothing, says
General Butlor was treated with too
much contempt by the members who
engineered the Peters resolution.
They should have deferred moro to tho
CAUCUS resolutions. 1t is very unsatis-
factory method OF CLOSING up tho

Tho Now World (Democrat) is
"sort of sorry" for Butler, and says
HThe Now Hampshire election had

Tho Industrial Losses Of France--The
Wine Districts and the Production Of
Wine. :
Princes and military heroes must
not cengross attention solcly in our
consideration Of tho current history
OF tho late war in France and it's con-
sequences. The materialistio losses
which the people Of that country have
sustained in tho agricultural districts
are'ehorfnous ana calculated to afroot
the social and domestic economies Of
tho French pooplo as we'll as the in
come and fnanco Of tho nation injuri-
ously for years to oottie. A Horald spe.
DIAL correspondent at Bordeaux sets
forth in his letter, which we publish
to-day that four hundred and eighty.
four thousand acres of the wine grow.
ing districts of France have BEEN
occupied by tho Prussisn troops.
Counting tho portions Of the soil of
Iouraine and Nievre, with parts of
brittany and Normandy, which were
invaded, the grand total of vino proj
ducing soil which passed under the
control Of the Prussians in France
foots up six hundred thousand acres.
The production Of vino in this area
was equal to one hundred and sixty
millions Of gallons: which, whom sold
at even fifty American cents for a
gallon, gave to tho country eighty
millions of dollars. The greater
part Of this was lost to Franco during
the past year. 1t will be still worse
in the wine season of 1871. The
people in the vino country are vastly
disheartcfied. It is bad; too, for wine
consumers and trnders in the United
Statos and England: The cost of the
luxury will be advanced tho aduli
tcration of the article will be moro
frequent and Of d character still
more dangerous than at present. It
may be that all this will inure to tho
speed Of temperance that out of evil
may come good. His Majesty of
Germany may have even had in view
tho intent Of converting tho French to
the use of lager beor-:"ono flag and
zwci lager thus beueflting the
homo trade of the empire from Berlin
to tho ''!Castle orag of Draohenfels."

Rcautiful Extract:

"A traveller who spent some time
IN Turkey, rofates boantifnl parable
which wap tod bin by d5rvish
Every man has two angels, one on
His right shoulder and one on his left.
When he does anything good, the
angel on the right shoulder writes IL
down and seals It, because what iS
done IS done Forever. When he does
anything evil the angel on his left
shoulder writes it down and waits till
midnight if before that time the
meH bows his head and extlaims !
ezra cious Allah have sinned -
forgive me, tho angel rubs out the
record, but if not, at midnight he'
seals it, and the angel on the right
shoulder weeps." .

HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Woman Roasted Alive.

The South Bend Qnd.) Register says:-
Mrs. John Pope, an old lady living near Ber-
tTand, met with one of the most horrible deaths,
on election day, 1t has ever been our lot to re-
cord. Her husband went to attend the polls,
leaving her at home alone. When he returned
he found his wife lying on the bed dead and
burned in the most terrible manner. The Niles
Republican says that she was great smoker
and also subject to fits, and it is the opinion of
her neighbors that she was attacked with fit
while smoking, and the ashes set Are to her
clothing. She was tracked to a straw pile which
had evidently been set on fire by her burning
clothing, and the flames then extinguished by
her own exertions After this she leaned
against the house, and set fire to the frame, and
put this out also with wet cloth. She then
went into the house. cut her garters, and re-
moved her shoes and stockings, and washed her
hands and arms in bucket until the skin and
flesh came off, quantities of which were found
in the bucket by neighbors. After all this
wandering about in perhaps half unconscious
state, and when every stitch of clothing was
burned off-save part of the string under her
chin with which a sun-bonnet was tied-she
evidently laid down on the bed where her husr
band found her.

The building Of the Northern Pacific Railroad
begun July last) is being pushed forward with great
energy from both extremlties OF the line. Several
thousand men are employed In Minnesota and on
the Pacific coast The grade is nearly completed
266 miles westward from Lake Superior; trains are
running over 100 miles Of finished road, aud track
laying s progressing at the rate OF one to two miles
per day. Including its purchase Of the St Paul and
Pacific Road, the Northern Pacific Company now
has 413 miles OF completed road, and by September
dent this will be Increased TO at least 800.
GOOD INVESTMENT.
We are now selling and unhesltatingy recon-
mend, as Profitable and perfectly Safe Investment,
the First Mortgage Land Grant Gold Bonds OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company. They have 80
years to run, bear Seven and Threetenths per cent
gold interest (more than per cent currency, and
are secured by first and only mortgage on the EN-
TIRE ROAD AND ITS EQUIPMENTS, and also on
$4,000 ACRES OF LAND
to every mile OF track, 800 Acres for each $40
Bond. They are exempt from United States Tax;
Principal and Interest are payable in Gold; Demo
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., 500 to $1,000; Registered 500
to $4,000.
LANDS FOR BONDS.
Northern Pacific 1905 at all times receivable
at TEN PER CENT. ABOVE PAR in exchange for the
Company's Lands, at their lowest cash price. That
is, in addition to their character a hrst-cass
prompt paying Railroad security, these bonds are
in effect Land Warrants bearing profitable rate OF
PER CENT. PREMIUM.
SINKING FUND.
The Land Grant Of the Road exceeds Fifty Mil
lion Acres having average soil Of great fertility,
in climate that is simply unsurpassed. The Trus-
tees of the Mortgage, Messrs. Jay Cooke and j.
Edgar Thomson, required to devote the pro-
ceeds Of all Land Sales to the repurchase and can
collation. of the Companys Bonds. This immense
Sinking Fund will undoubtedly cancel the principal
of the entire issue Of First Mortgage Bonds (now
selling) before they fall due.
PROFITABLE AND SAFE.
With their ample security and high rate OF nte-
rest, there is investment accessible to the peo-
pie which is more profitable or safe. In view Of
the Governments expectation soon to call for the
surrender OF its outstanding per cent. Bonds,
under the present movement for funding the debt
at lower interest, many holders Of United States
| Five-Twentes are exchanging them for Northern
| Pacific Seven-Thrties, thus realizing handsome
profit, and greatly increasing their annual income.
| OTHER NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
All marketable Stocks and Bonds will be received
at their highest current price in exchange for
Northern Pacific Seven thirties. EXPRESS CHARGES
on Money Bonds received, and on Seven -thirtes
sent in return will be paid by the Financial Agents
AGENCIES for the sale OF this loan are esta eshed IN
nearly every city and important town throughout
