LETTER FROM MINNESOTA.
MINNEAPoLIs, MAY Is, 1S7,

MINNEAPoLIs, May Is, 1871.
ED. REoIsTER: Less than a month
from sagebrush, it seems longer since
l came to prairie land. Wonderful
improvement in the health of my boy
so %nervously afflicted i'm Nevada, more
than anything else makes me content
with the change to Minnesota. Com
%pensating advantages l find here for
the loss ofthose incident there. While
l see no Sierras, immense, rugged, fur
rowed with deep ravines, and snow
covered. l observe rolling prairie with
rich green carpet of tender grass,
varied with flowers; and groves with
variety of foliage. Instead of profuse
mineral wealth. there is here prolific
agriculture. While Carson is flooded
with a more glorious sunshine which
fingers on the mountain tops even
while the valleys repoSe in twilight,
there is here a more refreshing atInOs-
phere treighted with fragrance from
highly productive garden and field;
and the landscape, if not so wildly
grand, is otherwise of tar o exceed
ing beauty. Doubtlessth this is the most
health be>towing climate. Just nov
fruit trees are white with blossoms.
and oak, maple. ash. elm, lilac, and
the like, in profuse variety, are lovely
in fresh Spring foliage.
Minnesota has Il population of no.
900, and is rapidly improving in popu-
latibn, improvement and consequent
wealth.
Minneapolis has a population of 49,
600, and is, altogether, inthe northwest
| think unsurpassed in manufacturing
and educational advantages, building
facilities, railroad connections, attrac-
tions for visitors, river scenery, pictnr-
esque location. and cheapness OF living.
Its improvements in 1870 cost over
81, 200 900. and building is now being
carried on TO greater extent than any
previous year.
Personally and impulsively l prefer
Carson, but my judgment is that this
is the best place for Il permanent home
for my family.
Wishing our Nevada friends, and the
citizens of Carson in particular, I'M
limited prosperity and consequent
happiness, and that when they remove
or take a pleasure tour they may come
to Minnesota, am, IL ever,

sELBY's RECORD.

For a politician, living in a large
city during active political times,
Thomas II. Selby, of San Francisco,
seems to have had a remarkable fac
ulty for making a record which no
body understood or remembered. 1t
has been claimed that Mayor Selby
voted for Mcclellan and for Haight
and that he was an active Democrat
during the war. Votes were made for
him among Democrats at the city
election two Years ago, on the strength
of that assertion. On the contrary, it
is contended by other jealous friends
that Selby was always a Republican
of the cleareSt water, and voted tor
Republicans every time. This Janus
faced record has been cutting the po-
litical highway for his Honor, the
Mayor, excellently well, and the pros
poets are fair that he will receive the
Republican nomination for Governor
of California. The Radicals appear
SatiSlicu thdi StibN VIII w.
at that conclusion by a train of exam
~ination like the following, referred to
by the Sacramento Reporter:
Selby will be nominated. We have
several good reasons for making this
prediction. one of them being TIM. fact
that Selby's political record has TO our
knowledge been looked into, of late.
| I,,- in tjrt.,,+Ia RalIgal- of rho Rly. CITY l.
and it has been pronounced satisfac-
tory. One of the most active of these
men, and who has always. held ultra
views, and been noted for his repug-
nance to compromises, said to us re-
Gently, that he had himself given
considerable time and attentionto an
examination of Selby's record, and
found out enough to satisfy him that
Selbv was sound" through the WAR.
although rather quiet, and his course
has been such that Union men, as he
called them, could heartily support
him. He had ascertained beyond a
doubt that Selby voted for Grant and
Lincoln. that he was Il war man, con
ftribu,ed literally to the 'Sanitary
Fund.- and did various other things
that could be proven, and which re-
moved all serious objections 10 his
nomination by the Radicals for Gov
ernor. Il admit says our Radical
friend, '.that Selby's course during the
war does not altogether please me.
While | and others were talking from
every stump, and working in every
possible way, day and night, to aver,
the threatened danger of a national
Democratic triumph, Selby didn't
seem to think anything unusual was
the matter. He divided his valuable
time between his home and his count
ing-hou>e, and didn't let his duties tC
his party or his country trouble hin
much. All this l am willing 10 admit
but l have ascertained enough tt
know that the Republicans can afford
to nominate Selhy, nevertheless, and
said our friend, with a significant look
upon his face, W are going 10 do it
sure"

THE PROPOSED PACIFIC RAILROAD
VIA GOOSE LAKE.

The announcement by the Bulletin
s,fthe proposition to construct another
Pacific, overland railroad by an extern
sion of the present Vallejo road In
California has elected various and
conflicting ideas respecting the FEAST
bilitv OF the route, and its paying ca
pacitIes. Some of ourexchanges doubt
lis ~practicability in view of the stability
of the Central Pacific company, and
the fact that the Northern Pacific Rail-
road has received Il valuable land sub
sidy from the Government, and has
already commenced the construction
OF the road.
Three roads may be a little prema-
ture at present SO far as the demands
of the through freight and passengers
are concerned; but whenthe character
OF the country through which these
more northern railroads will traverse
i, considered and their immense pro
ductive capacities estimated, 1t VIII be
seen that they will have something
more than a mere overland trade to
depend upon. The value OF this rail
road will depend more on the way
freights, and way passengers, than on
IL projected Asiatic commerce, or
mere trans-continental travel. 1nthis
rcspect the proposed extension of the
Vallejo road would have an immense
advantage over either of its rivals. the
Northern or the Central Pacific. En-
tending through the entire length of the
Sacramento valley and crossing the
Goose Lake country of Northeastern
California, it would in all probability
form a connection near that point with
the present Oregon and California road.
which under the management of Ben
Holaday has already been constructed
through the most fertile section OF
Oregon. These two branches, to Cal
iiornia and Oregon, would constitute
we gigantic arms, claspinS the best
agricultural portions of the Pacific
Coast. From this intersection the
road eastward would run through the
southern portion of Idaho, through
the Snake River Valley. opening a
country 10 access possessing many
resources, agricultural and mineral
y large portion of the entire
route 10 ogden would pass through
a country capable of wonderful ano
speedy Developments country III
many respects vastly superior to thai
traversed by the present Central Pa,
citic. Should the railroad be con.
structed over this route 1t would ma
terially damage the revenue of the
Northern Pacific-perhaps more than
that of the Central. 1t would pass
through Il country free from snow a
all seasons of the year, and at a grade
comparatively tritling. Taken alto
gether we regard this proposition as
really the most practicable of any o
the many railroad schemes yet made
public.

Took LEG BAIL.-Mrs Hattie FINK

TOOK LEG BAIL.-Mrs Hattie Funk,
confined in the County Jail on the
charge of killing her husband in Eure-
ka, got away from that institution
about half past eleven O'Clock a. H.,
yesterday, and up to the present writ
ing hasinOt been heard from, though
Sheriff Spires and others are out trying
to strike her trail. The Jail contains
two cells which ut present are occupied
by three male prisoners. For the sake
of decency, and in order not to crowd
all the male prisoners into II cell
Hattie was allowed in the day time to
stop b front o ofthe Jail, which
is used as a iailOr's office and BEDROOM.
She was undoubtedly supplied from
the outside with "A screw-driver or
case-knife, for yesterday, at the time
mentioned above, she proceeded to
don a suit of mans clothes belonging
to j.. f. Funston, who sleeps there,
and which was hanging Over the bed,
and piled her screw-driver until she
loosened the lock sufficiently to en-
able her to force the door open with a
poker belonging to the stove. Pre-
vious to taking leave of her Jail COM
panions she offered to set them all
free. but they declined; when she told
them to -- and left, remarking
that she wouldn't be caught. Hattie
is Il very bad egg. The awful crime
she has committed bears no harder on
her mind than would the killing of a
rat. She may be caught, though the
chances are not favorable. y Eureka

long since of the charge OF grand lar
ceny, had a hand in her escape, and
everything, no doubt, vas ready for

in between him and his wife, and they
were divorced. Mrs. New. some
