NEARLY evory European nation is
a customer now Of our gunmakers.
Turkey, Egypt, Russia, Franco (and
Prussia through France) and even Eng
land, arc all availing themselves, eth.
er Of the cheapness Of our old materi-
ais of war, OF the inventions which our
long contest brought into being, and
have since been so perfected as TO- be
rendered the most murderous instru.
ments Of a barbarous civilization.
There are no small arms in Europe
equal to our Colt and Smith & Wesson
pistols, our Spencer and Winchester
rifles, our Spencer and Remington and
Springfield breech-loaders, and nearly
every one of the countries named are
purchasers for more or less of all these
weapons. Now, too, our Calling guns,
the American mitra,lleuse-- sort Of
mitrailleuse and pepper box combined
have been improved up to superiority
to anything Of the kind abroad and tho
English government is adopting them
tor uso in its army, in view Of tho pos
sibility Of fresh embroilments with it's
neighbors on the continent. No less
than four hundred Of these terribly de-
structive arms have been ordered by
it, and are now being made at the Colt
works in Hartford. So says the
Springfield Republican. e.. .q..j.>, r+.

EDITOR JouRNAL.-I have some
times wondered Why in the Minnesota
Legislature rotation in Office was the
regular diet, but / see the point now.
The trouble is the honorable members
spread themselves over too much terri.
tory Of varied and conflicting interests.
This Senatorial District is composed of
Wright, Mseker, Mcleod aud Kandi-
yohi counties. The proposed division Of
the Internal Improvement Lands be
tween certaio. railroad companies and
the expectation that at least $4,000
acres will go to aid in building thesroad
from st. Cloud to ,Mankato, sets tho
localities by the ears as to where the
road shall 60 in crossing this range of
counties. Senator j, Bonniwell would
have it como by bis door in Hutchin-
son; Mr.. Greenleaf by his home,
Greenleaf /; and Mr.. Railson by Will
mar! Woe be to these Solons If they
make a mistake in their votes on this
question. If they don't bring that
railroad to every mans door, off go
their heads when they again come up
tor Office. They must look seven ways
for Sunday, or they are devoid of states
manlike qualities. The remedy for all
this is to give to each county, as nearly
as possible, representative. The
Hon. John Smith, as it now stands,
must know all about constituents at the
antipodes or he is no man at all.
The Litchdeld Republican is the
name of the paper to be published
BY H. G. Rising, late Of. the Sparta
(Wis.) Eagle. The first number is
to be issued next week. Mr.. Belfoy,
Of the Meeker Go. Ne.0s, has employed
Mr.. M. W. Getohell, Of Minneapolis,
as local editor, and will soon increase
his paper to On eight-column sheet,
with new head and some new type.
Whether both papers can be made prof.
liable here. remains to DO seen. -.
Mr.. Editor, you rather exposed me
in referring to my mention Of "John"
Richardson. His name is as long and
unpronounceable as that in DR.. Mari
COLDS prescription, his name Gas Dick
ems says) being NICHOLSON. Quintus
Cincinuatus Washington r. had been
called by everybody here John, and I
took the label to be descriptive Of the
article labeled. "John''' walks about

The snow storm Of Saturday aud
Sunday was so severe in Milwaukee
as to effect general blockade of the.
streets of the city, the snow-bauks in
many places reaching the height of six
feet Throughout Saturday the city
appeared deserted, the embargo on
travel causing general suspension of
business. The City Railway Company
were obliged to withdraw their cars
and tho usual facilities of travel bv
hack and omnibus were held at the
mercy of the Storm King. -

THE WAR.

o. Wednesday Of last week severe
engagement took place near La Mans,
between a French force Of about $780,,
900 men under command of zen.
Chausey, who were endeaving to get
to the relief Of Paris, and about 100,-
900 men under the command of Prince
Frederick Charles. The fighting was
desperate during three days, but the
German artillery proved too much for
Fhe French and they finally retreated.
rhe Prince entered In Mans on Sab
bath. The French lost q, 900 in pris-
pners and thirteen cannon. The Ger.
man loss was also heavy.
! On Monday Gen. Won Werdon was
bttaoked in his position near Belfort
by the Fourth French Corps, but the
assault was repulsed.
On the same day the French un-
masked new batteries on the south side
1pt Paris, which were quickly silenced.

CLEARWATER, Jan. 18th, 1871.
EDITOR: JoURNAL.-The "Band of

kind Of an exhibition last evening.
Rev. Mr.. Stearns, as we'll as his &C.
complished lady, deserves great-I was
going to say credit, but that isn't just
the word, it needs higher one-any
way, what I mean is, they are and
ought to be held in high estimation by
the public, for tie extraordinary inter-
est they take in training everybody's
children, particularly those who will
join the 'tBaud Of Hope'') in. every
thing which has high moral tendency.
If the next generation of men and wo-
men of Clear Water are considerably
ahead of the times, when measured by
the standard Of right, they may thank
these earnest religious teachers.
The exercises were all very interest.

mention "The Temperance Alphabet"

and dialogue entitled "a mistake

Mulholland and Fife Barrett. Miss
Ella Webb presided at the organ. The
singing went off we'll, except the in.
distinct pronunciation of the words, a
fault not at all confined to this place,
but almost universal. I listened a few
evenings ago to song, from an intelli-
gent young lady, (who in ordinary
conversation speaks very plainly,) the
words Of which were utterly unintelligi-
BILE, and might have been Cboctaw or
Cha'daio for all know. This is a
very serious fault, and should be close
ly looked after by singers.
Mr.. Nathan Laughton was thrown
out of his buggy near the Post Off 20
and alighted on his head. He was
taken up for dead, and was lnsensible
for nearly twenty-four hours. There
were no severe bruises or cuts about
him and he is now fast recovering
