To Will.


The story is old, but loved you, dear VIII,
In the days that forever are gone,
With love that was pure as the seraphims
have
In their home lying east OF the dawn.
But you found one you deemed far less humble
thanI,
And you chose her your life-mate TO be
Oh, could but know all your heart-void was
hlled9
1t would bring a sweet rest unto me.
I'm no longer the shy, bonny girl as of yore,
When the future dreamed was so bright,
For silver is mixed with my yellow-brown
hair,
And my eyes have a shadowy light
All well, perhaps it were better far so,
For tits sinful earth-idols to make,
And what matters il not what the Upai her
drips
Has mixed with the draughts must take.
But tonight, as sit in my low rocking-chair
Looking dreamily out DER the lea,
a tangible something seems floating this way
And a presence feel and can see.
Oh, "just for tonight" let me lean on youl
breast
My head that with grief is bowed low
For ! can but believe that this phantom is
real,
In the light streaming in o'er the snow.
Ali there, now the years have gone silently
back,
And I'm standing in youths sunny ray,
Al the garden-gate, waiting you kiss me "onee
more"
In your boyish, yet impassionate, way.
How the tears Of deep happiness come to my
eyes
And my hearts keeping still I'm my bliss,
For even a pulse-throb might summon tho
years
That had in them no heaven like this.
But, alas darling VIII, there's a sound in my
ears,
Like the tones OF some far distant bell;
And there falls on my form such desolatS
chill,
That the weird wind seemsrchanting, "Fare'
we'll"
All the mOon-rsys no longer shine over the
sill,
And the dawn's creeping up cold and gray
shudder and faint at my weakness and sin,
And tremblingly kneel me to pray.

DYSPEPSIA AND VINEGAR.-As soon
as food reaches the stomach of a hun
CRY, healthy man, it pours out fluid
substance, called gastric juice, as in
stantly as the eye yields water, il it is
touched by anything hard; this gastric
juice dissolves the food from without in
ward, as Jumps Of ice i'm glass of water
are melted from without inward. Iffrom
any cause the food is not thus melted or
dissolved, that is indigestion or dyspep-
sia. Vinegar, in its action on food, is
more nearly like the gastric juice than
any other fluid known; thus it is that
pickle or little vinegar will "settle the
stomach when some discomfort is eX
perienced after eating.

The world has grown so mature that
"there is nothing new under the sum-

heads this article, is the first in this
country to WELD the baton as conduc-

has been conducting, part of the time for
the Madrigal Society and for most of il
at the Normal College, where she has a
chorus of 1,l00 young ladies. Besides
this gift she is still better known as a
vocalist of marked dramatic power,
while the few compositions which he has
given TO the public show considerable
merit.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

The Tribune aims to be pre-eminently a
NEWSPAPER Its correspondents traverse every
State, are at present on every important battle
field, are early advised of every notable Cabinet
decision, observe the proceedings OF Congress,
OF Legislatures, and OF Conventions, and re-
port To us by telegraph all that seems Of gem
eral interest. We have paid for one days mo-
mentous adviceS from Europe by cable far
more than our entire receipts for the issue in
which those advices reached our readers II
lavish outlay, unsleeping vigilance, and un-
bounded faith in the liberality and discern
ment Of the reading public, will enable us TO
make Journal which has no superior in the
accuracy, variety and freshness OF its contents
the Tribune" shall be such a journal.
To Agriculture and the subServient arts, we
have devoted, and shall perSistently devote,
more means and space than any of our rivals
We aim to make the weekly Tribune" such a
paper rs no farmer can afford to do without,
however widely his politics may differ from
ours. Our reports of the Cattle, Horse, Pro-
duce and General Markets, are so full and ac-
curate, our essays I'm elucidatiOn of the farmers
calling, ana our regular reports of the Farmers'
Club and kindred gatherings, are so interesting
that the poorest farmer will find therein a
mine OF suggestion and counsel, of which he
cannot remain ignorant without positive and
serious loss We sell the "Weekly'' TO Clubs
for less than its value in dwellings for waste
paper; and, though its subscription is already
very large, we believe that a Half Million
more farmers will take Il whenever it shall be
commended to their attention. We ask our
friends everywhere TO aid Us in so commend
ing IL.

THE DULUTH CANAL.-We understand
that Duluth proposes to give or has given
bonds for 100000, the conditions being
that she will build dam or obstruction in
the Bay Of superior, so as to(prevent the
waJer of the st. Louis river from flowing
into the new canal, and that the Attorney
General Of the United States has agreed to
withdraw the suit and not prevent Duluth
from keeping open the canal.
We learn, also, that the canal is now
open, sixteen feet deep, and in consequence
thereof vessels cannot enter Superior har-
Dor, as they have heretofore done tor six
teen years.
The Attorney General of Wisconsin, who
has, we believe, been requested by the At
toIney Genera! of the United States to
withdraw the suit does not want to do SO.
We believe he does not regard the bond OF
Duluth as sufficient. He does not th1Lk ii
is right to obstruct the Bay of Superior, 8
navigable sheen of water, with dams as pro-
posed, thus preventing water communica
ton between Superior and Duluth except
by lake. We publish the above as the
latest rumors. We expect something more
definite soon-INadisOn Journal.

THE telegraph, as successful enterprise, is the
growth of the last 20 years Almost the entire world
is embraced within its network of lines. Europe
possesses 450 600 miles of wire and 5000 stations
America, 10000 miles, aud 5000 stations; India
1900 miles, and zoe stations; Australia, 1000 {
miles, and 270 stations and the extension throughout
the world is at the of 100 900 miles of wire pei
annum. There are in addition, 80, 600 miles Of sub
marine telegraph wire in successful operation
extentending beneath the Atlantic and German
the Baltic, North. Mediterranean, Red, Arabian and
China seas the Persian Cult, the Bay of Bscay, the
Strait of Gibraltar and the Cults of Mexico and St
Lawrence.
The above is interesting, but a line OF
seven miles from here TO Duluth, Nr
twenty three from here to Yokomo, would
be of more immediate Importance to us.

s'non-residents ?"

THROWING UP THE SPONGE.

The last Duluth Tribune is entirely too
fast in concluding from our article on Du-
luth victories, that Superior is hanging out
the white flag. That article st forth the
unfairneSs, and illegal nature of the Duluth
mode OF building town. Not while there
is a single prospect of truth, aud law, and
honest effort, finally overthrowing the Du,
luth ch aanery, illegal work, and dark ways
IT proceeding agalnst our rights, will we
retire from the field When we surrender
o injustice, and unfair opposition, the Tri
bune VII not be left merely to infer it.

LATEST ON THE CANAL QUESTION.
The St. Paul Pioneer of yesterday, ha

The St. Paul Pioneer of yesterday, has
the following:
The Chicago Evening Post of Wednesday has a dis
patch from Madison Wis stating that the Wisconsin
State authorities have abandoned the attempt to
prevent the Duluth people from destroying the Supe-
ror harhor by their Minnesota Point canal and are
hopeful Of success.
Our citizens will see that the State OF
Wisconsin is not disposed to give up her
rights, and interests, at the head of Lake
Superior, at the bidding of the interested
gentlemen who have lately misrepresented
the question-at Washington, and infn
enced the executive officerS of the general
government to a wrong decision We ur-
gently hope that our State will us all
promptness in the matter, as her interests,
and ours have suffered too much already
from past delay, and the swift intrigueS OF
our neighbors.
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1871-07-01

there in thepresent unfinished state of the
route, is mpre than any one can tell. In
many places the line OF wagon travel is not
yet passabl9 and on the water portions OF
the route the steam tugs have only just start
ed from thelanding, and building of barges
or tenders oily commenced Perhaps boun-
tiful nature who philosophers say, supplies
| adaptation Of circumstances to us poor NOR
tails, will ehdow these pioneer emigrantS
with a kind of amphibous or web footed
natures to enable them to make the trip.
At all events they say they prefer TO take
their chSnees rather than submit to the
many pettS anaoyances and delays from
the Custom House officials, and enormous
railroad chhrges through our country.
By way Of explaining how things are
done on our side, there is a story among
these emigrants, that among the early Red
river emigranls this spring via Duluth, ST.
Paul &c, that one well-to-do Canadian
farmer landed at Duluth with his family,
having some ready money in his pocket,
wagons and horses. farming utensils, house
hold and kitchen furniture, &c. Prepara-
tions for the journey, unnecessary delay and
Custom House fees at Duluth relieved him
of all his spare cash. The trip to ST. Paul
and treightbiI by the railroad, took his horses
and wagon, and at the next station his
household goods and farming utensils went
to pay the bulls, and the poor man has never
been known to reach his destination, or.
heard FROM since by his friends For the
whole truth OF this story we do not vouch,
but must say it is rather novel way Of
inducing emigrants to settle in our country.
The most significant project is just being
opened out in this North Shore district by
the Canadian Government, ever yet under
taken by them. The Government steamer
Rescue arrived at Prince Arthur's landing,
Monday, with something near 100 men
aboard, consisting Of engineers, chainmen,
axemen, &c, in the employ of the Govern
ment, for the ostensible purpose of running
out lines for their Northern Pacific r. r.
Already four or five parties are in the field,
running out trial lines from different points
on the lake shore. Some have gone to the
interior to examine for route, others will
commence at the west end, at Fort G. AIRY,
and run east to meet those from the lake.
There is much talk Of the road being built
at once. Some of the officials say the Can
adian government intends this winter Civ
ing such liberal subsidies, both in land and
money, that capitalists to build stand ready
to commence work. Others speak of a pos
sible arrangement to combine with our
North Pacific west from the Red river
We know too little of the facts to venture
an opinion as to how much there is in all
this

LEASE OF THE NEW JERSEY RAILROADS BY
THE PENN. T. R. CO.-ANOTHr R VIC
TORY OVER NEW YORK

The New York dailies are paying specia
attention to the late lease of the New Jer
sey railroad system by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Go. 1t is equivalent to Philade
phia purchasing the whole state of New
Jersey, and making it a suburb of the Qua.
ker city. 1t has had the effect to open the
eyes Of Gotham wide enough to see where
she missed it. Says scared correspondent
of one of the n. Z. papers, the New Jersey
railroads ''held IN their own hands the keys
OF the great gates of commerce between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts; and between
the North and the South'' That is to say
the Pennsy ylvania r. II. holds those KEYS
now, and has cut New York's communlca-
tions with the West and South We have
been trying to make the n. 7. press see
this aS a possible event for a year past
But they know too much to be instruct ted
tae country press. 1t is impossible for
tu< man outside Of New York to know
GNfhlHg. And one OF those remarkable
sheets demolished statement Of this paper
"a IA, very subject last winter, by calm
ference to the fact that the Penn. r. r.
vas even then trying to lease the New Jer-
sey roads 1t drew the consoiny infer
ence that \ W \ ork was about to absorb
Philadelphia and her trade. The latest
news is that Philadelphia is importing
goods from Europe via New York city,
making the metropolis mere way station
That does not look like absorbing Phila-
delpha trade And In this connection per-
nit us to inquire, how are you, New York
Adgertiser? How are you on paddle
wheels? The New York harbor resoundeth
with ye beat of ye paddle wheels bringing
through freight for Philadelphia
The n. Y. Egening Post, W hich like the
Tribune and one or two others OF the New
York papers has still little sense left, says
already there are plans afoot III busy
brains for the acquisition of one of the
great lines from Chicago tn the Mississippi,
and when this is carried out, the Penn. r. II.
Co. will own or control beyond tie p0eoer Of
any rir1 the whole OF the highway from
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, all
the way to Salt Lake City, with but one
leap to make to the Pacific ocean" That
leap will be to Portland, Oregon. Both
Pacific liues will have their Western ter
mini at Portland, Oregon, and their East
ern termini at Philadelphia, unless New
York makes a diversion soon, and that di-
version must be made at the head Of Lake
Superior Philadelphia controls large in
tcrcst here and will finally have complete
control, unless New York allows the scales
to fall from her eyes, and takes possession
Of all available foothold in this region, and
builds or buys an air line connection be
tween here and Chicago. We are talking
to the Tribune Times and Post Do they
hear us? They have sense enough to know
that the time for treating these warnings
with contempt has passed. Let them give
their readers the facts.
