A Good Investment.

When tho forehanded farmer, who
by thrift and prudence has laid up
some money, wishes to invest it, he
generally seeks mortgage on land.
But in doing so he is careful TO select
on improving farm, one on which
the trees are growing, whose owner
is yearly enriching the soil, and erect
ing new fences, buildings-in short,
one whose increasing value adds
every hour to the security Of the
mortgage.
Now these are precisely the induce
ments which the Northern Pacific
Railway first mortgage bonds offer
to prudent investors. Their basis is
land-millions OF acres. This great
farm which Jay Cooke proposes to
slightly mortgage is also one which
is continually improving. The mon
ey borrowed is to be expended on
the land, and every dollar spent by
the railway company will be the
means of bringing out ten to be spent
by settlers. Every day is adding to
the value Of the security. Every
rail laid, every telegraph-pole built,
every house put up, every tree felled,
every new station opened, every emil
grant westward, makes the bond.
holder richer and safer.
Most of our farmers like to have
their surplus earnings in farm mort
gage. Here is one which covers q
thousand farms, and which can afford,
safely and judiciously, to pay a high
rate OF interest. And every hour
this splendidly managed farm is i'm
proving, for into it are being put the
best energy, brains, capital and labor
Of the land.
Messrs. Jay Cooke Il CO., the fnan-
cial agents of this road, have estab-
lished two agencies in the county for
the sale of these first mortgage bon Dis

After the Battle.

The war Of popular excitement,
resulting from the displacement of
Charles Sumner from the chairman
ship of Committee on Foreign Re'a-
tions, has measurably died away,
and in the stiffness which succeeds
the tempest we may hear the echo
of the conflict. The whole chain of
circumstances connected with the
embroglio is anything but compli-
mentary to our national honor, but
Notwithstanding this unpleasant fact,
much good will ultimately result
from the war of words from which
Congress and the public press are
just emerging.
Mr.. Sumner, in attempting to smite
the President, succeeded in unfolding
his own character to the people in
such q manner as will not be soon
forgotten. Previous to the recent
difficulty, Charles Sumner was con-
sidered on all hands TO be a model
statesman, incapable Of anything ig.
noble or puerile the luster of envied
popularity that adorned his name had
wholly obscured bis natural weakness
and SO far from seeing the man in the
statesman, the people saw only the
statesman in the man but now he
stands unmasked before the world and
we behold the visage of a keen, sharp,
sagacious, naughty and vindictive
Senator. He is strong man polite.
ally, but fully conscious of the fact
and relying on his popularity, he
sought to rule or ruin the party OF
which he has been so long an honor
cd and leading member. The first
outburst of public sentiment after his
removal was almost unanimous in his
favor, but as clearer light dawns up
on the situation, there is a very per-
ceptible reaction in favor Of his peers
and the laundering all around the
political horizon is rapidly dying
away. Mr.. Sumner is a Senator OF
unquestionable ability, but he will
never again stand so high in pop
ular esteem as he did prior to his re
cent unwise policy.
On the other hand, the discussion
has brought out many facts relating
to the Republic Of San Domingo, al
well as to its soil, climate, etc, that
was not generally known by the peo-
pie at large, and which are highly
interesting and very important
Certain political changes resulting
from factional strife will act az a
powerful anodyne on the nervous
condition Of the party, and at the
same time be a stimulous to renewed
zeal and activity. The message &C
companying the Commissioners re-
port breathes u very mild pacific
spirit. The Chief Magistrate mani
tests no disposition to force his views
and policy upon Congress and the
people !; and, take it all in all, much
good will follow the ventilation.

A Legislative Leper.

The New York Tribune publishes
a scorching paragraph on WInans,
the republican member of the New
York Assembly, who, it is reported,
received 100000 from Tweed for
his vote in favor of Democratic
schemes. The Tribune says:
alt is probable that the darkest
hour in the life of woman is when
she wakes on the mornin,g after the
loss of her honor, and feels how
empty is the future, and how pitiful
is the price other infamy. The past

self-respect, and the esteem of 9TH

but mere living on the wages of
shame, which stick to the fingers
and burn them like boiling pitch.

New Church at Dickeyville.

FRIEND COVER - AS you are al
ways pleased to publish anything
that tends TO elevate the human fam
lily, you will of course not object to
letting your readers know that the
good and pious people ofDickeyville
have built church edifice, wherein
they and their very promising child
rem can worship God according to
the dictates of their own consciences +"
They have so far succeeded in get
ting the lot enclosed, and the floor of
the building laid. 1t is called and is
to be, Union Church." On the
first of May they had festival, the
proceeds of which will go toward
completing the huge and handsome
sanctuary. The day was fine, and a
company of more than two hundred
deeply interested ladies and gentle
men, boys, girls, and infants were
assembled. After the devotional ex-
ercises speeches were made and well
received by the edited audience, if
profound attention, smile-wreathed
lips and tremendous applause mean
anything. The eloquent and pious-
ly earnest oratons were delivered
by some of the leading intellectual
and moral men of the community
The Reverends Brooks and McCum-
Der of jamestown, Henry Michel of
Hazel Green, and Mayne of Potosi,
made some very appropriate remarks.
Esquire Anderson, he of legal and
mercantile tame,-said some uncom-
monty practical things, which drew
forth greetings and reenbacks in
comforting and all-satlsfying quanti-
ties. Mach praise was bestowed up
on the ladies', both married and sin
gle, for their untiring efforts in bring
ing the church building project to a
successful elimination. The dinner
provided by them on this occasion
was a dinner. And the coffee, well
| can't do the coffee justice it was
actually too good to be described In
conclusion we nope and pray that a
spiritual house may be supported al
DickeyvilIc that will shed its light
over all those beautiful hills and val
leys. Yours etc,
