OF THE
Northern Pacific Railroad Co.
RAPID PROGRESS OF THE WORK.

The building Of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
(begun July lnst), is being pushed forward with
great energy from both extremities of the line.
Several thousand men are employed in Minnesota
and on the Pacific coast. The grade Is nearly
completed 0 miles westward from Lake Super
ior; trains are running over $50 miles Of finished
road, and track-laying is rapidly progressing tow
ard the eastern border Of Dakota. Including its
purchase Of the st. Paul 4 Pacific road, the North
ern Pacific Company now has 4l3 miles of compile
ted road, and by September next this will be in
creased to at least $50.
A COOP ISvEsrMENr.-Jay Cooke 4 Co., are
now selling, and unhesitatingly recommend, as a
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 Three-Tenths per cent. gold
interest (more than 9 per cent. currency and are
secured by first and only mortgage on the ENTIRE
road and its equipments, and also, as fast as the
Read is completed, on
70, 900 ACRES OF LAND to every mile of track on
500 Acres for each $4,000 Bond. They are exempt
from U. s. Tax; Principal and Interest are paya-
BILE in Gold; Denominations; Coupons, 500 to
$1,000; Registered, 500 to $1,000.
LAND FOR BoSDs.-Northern Pacific 1905 are
at oil times receivable at TEN PER-cENs. above par

SINKING FUND.-The proceeds of all sales Of
Lands are required to be devoted to the re-pur.
chase and cancellation Of the first Mortgage Bonds
Of the Company. The Land Grant of the Road
exceeds Fifty Million Acres. This immense Sink.

the Company's bonded debt before it falls due.

Parting Song.

The long day is closing,
All, why should we weep
It's thus that God gives
His beloved ones sleep.
I see the wide water.
So deep and 30 black
Love waits me beyond it,
l would not go back !
l would not go back
Where its joys scarce may glesm,-
Where even In dreaming
We know that we dream.
For though life filed for me
All the measures of bliss,
Has 1t anything better
Or sweeter than this
| would not 20 back
To the torment Of fear
To the wastes Of uncomfort
When home Ia 80 near.
Each night is a prison bar,
Broken and gone,-
Each morning q golden gate,
0n,-further ON
On, on towards the city
So shining and fair;
For He that has loved me
Died for me-is there.

To Mend Rubber Boots.

Purchase a can of rubber cement, which
can be found in large cities at rubber
stores, also some rubber for patches, as
new rubber is much better than old boots
or shoes. To make the patches adhered
is necessary to remove the cloth from
them. To do this, moisten the cloth with
benzine and remove Immediately. Cut
the patches the proper size to cover the
hole in the boot. Make the boot around
the hole rough, the size of the patch, with
a wood or shoemaker's file; apply the
cement to the boot, and the patch with a
case knife, and let them lay IN a warm,
dry room from thirty 10 forty minutes ;
then put the patch on the boots, and
press it down firmly. Be very p%articu-
lar about the edges of the patch. After
it has been a short time examine It again,
to see that it has not started off if it has,
press it down again. Do not use the
boot under forty-eight hours after the
patch is put on. l have patched and
tapped rubber boots in this way success
fully for tive years and have also patch
ed and tapped leather shoes, worn in the
house, in the same manner. Those who
cannot find the cement can write to the
New York Betting Company, 81 and 3S
Park Row, New York, who will perhaps
send it to them. One fifty cent can will
last a family several years. Keep the
cover on the can when not in use, as it
dries up very quickly. If the cement
becomes dry, cut it with benzine.
l gave a man two dollars to show me
how to do it, and | hope it will do all the
Rural readers, who wear rubber boots, as
much good rs it has me. j.. WALL.

Gilt Edged Butter.

1t affords me pleasure to observe that
you are Of late quoting with some regu-
larity, the sales of"Gilt Edged Butter"
This is not, as is generally supposed, and
as you leave your readers to infer in at
least one instance, a weekly spasmodic
movement growing out of some one per-
sons desire to supply his own table with
what he enormously conceives to be a su-
perior article, but is a legitimate business
transaction, and l happen to know, and
can furnish you the evidence, that there
are a few diaries whose product regularly
brings several cents a pound more than
your highest quotations, and what gives
special value to the statement is the fact
that they are sold solely upon their in
trinsic merit.
The farmer who having sold his butter
five or ten cents lower than his neighbor,
%consels himself by repeating the old ad-
age, kissing goes by favor may at any
time disabuse himself by getting the
neighbor to market his butter. l do not
know a maker of the gilt who has not
learned that there is room enough for
him, and all his neighbors too, and is will
ling to aid them is necessary. provided
only that their goods come up to the stand.
ard. That there is no favoritism in the
matter is abundantly proven to our mind
by the fact that we have known several
instances where makers of the gilt have
attempted to sell their neighbors' goods
by putting on their own brands, etc., and
have in every in every instance that has
come to our knowledge foiled to make the
sale.
l sincerely hope the day will come
when all Vermont butter will be strictly
gilt edged though l confess | do moi
like the name. For this the Vermont
Dairymen's Association was organized
and to this end it labors on. D. s, Bliss

from the following announcement

against adopting the STANDARD of Ex-
c~ellence" as revised by the Poultry Con.
v%ention Of February last, on the ground
of incorreetness in descriptions, the COM
mittee appointed to revise and correct the
same, have determined not to take the
responsibility of putting it to press, and
propose that the Convention meet again
to take farther action in the matter, and
that a general invitation be issued to al

Herald, an article on cattle-raising in Tex
as, from which we make extracts as fol.
lows Texas is truly the cattle hive Of
America. While New York, with her
1000, 900 inhabitants and her settlements
two and a half centuries old, has 748,.
600 oxen and stock while Pennsylvania,
with more than 5000, 600 people, has
1872 1000 cattle while Ohio, with 3,000,-
600 people, has $4,000 cattle while
Illinois, with $500, 900 people, has S67,-
600 cattle; and while Iowa. with l,200,-
900 people, has $4,000 cattle Texas,
not 40 yearsof age, and with her $4,000
people, had 1000, 900 head of oxen and
other cattle, exclusive of COWS, in 1867,
as shown by the returns Of the county
assessors. In 1870, allowing for the
difference between the actual number Of
cattle owned and the number returned
for taxation, there must be fully 3,000,'
600 head bceves and stock cattle. This
is exclusive Of cows, which, at the sam
, time, are reported at 600, 900 head. Ii
1862 they must number 800 900, max
ing a grand total of $500, 900 head O
cattle in Texas. One.fourth of these ar,
beeves, one-tourth are cows, and the 9th

What Dyspepsia may End In.

Indigestion Is not dangerous, say the fac
ulty. Perhaps not in itself, while it remains
mere indigestion; but look at the conse-
quences to which it may lead. and often
does lead when 1t becomes a chronic dis
ease. A spark of fire is a small thing. A
pressure of the foot will put it out; breath
will extInguish it. Yet ii may fire pow
der mill, or kindle a flame that will con-
sumo city. In like manner indigestion
may produce gastritis, cancer OF the stom-
ach, congestion of the bowels, apopleSy,
liver disease, and many other dangerous
maladies. Is ii not wise, then, to check it
in the germ? Nothing is more clearly and
indisputably established than that Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters will eradicate dyspep-
STA in all its stages. The true policy, how
ever, is to eXtinguish it in the first stages
with this wholesome, powerful, and infalli-
BILE tonic and Alternative. 1t is easier to punch
q spark than flame, and ii is easier to cure
dyspepsia when it is first developed, than
when it has made healway by neglect, and
become complicated with other ailments.
There Is not the shadow OF Il doubt that the
bitters are as directly n'agonistic to dys-
pepsia as water is to fire. There are thous-
ands of cases on record proving this fact.
The remedy Is safe and agreeable. All the
liquors of commerce prescribed as stimu-
lants, leave sting behind. But the sting
is taken out of the spirituous basis of this
great remedy by vegetable medication, and,
moreover, the stimulant thus medicated Is
of exceptional purity. or all tOnicS taken
as safeguards or remedies for fever and
aeue, bilious remittents, and other fall, cpl
denies, ii is the only one that can uniform
ly be depended upon.

ton or without any serious embarrass'
ment to the finances Of the city. Two
or three thousand dollars Tor perhaps
less) would be enough to purchase and
fit up a building sufficient for all prob
able demands, and pay all the expenses
necessary for the care of smallpox
patients during the winter. We are
very sure that the sum Of money it will
cost cannot be better expended, and that
the people Of the city will cordially
approve the expenditure. We trust
that the matter may meet with approx
al from the members of the City Coun'
ellis and that action may be had upon
the subject tonight.

.SMALL.pOX HOSPITAL.

May we not hope that at the Council
meeting tonight some action will be Ia
ken looking to the immediate establish
ment of a hospital for smallpox pa
TENTS? Such building is seriously
needed even nov, and, in all human
probability, its necessity will be very
sadly demonstrated during the coming
winter. The disease is increasing in
Pittsburgh and Allegheny, and other
places in our neighborhood with which
We are in constant daily communication.
We cannot establish a quarantine at
the railroad depots and steamboat land
ings to intercept the contagion and pre-
vent its dissemination in Our city; nor
can we effectively barricade streets and
isolate dwellings in which cases OF
smallpox may occur. We have to
submit to some degree OF exposure all
the time, and in spite of our most care
full efforts, and it may be regarded as al
most a certainty that number Of new
cases Of smallpox will occur in this
city within the ensuing three months.
To limit the ravages Of the disease, and
coufine it within the narrowest possible
bounds, we must have hospital set
apart for its treatment. In no other
wav can the disease be so well encoun-
tered, and in no other way can lis
spread be so effectually prevented. The
interests of the patient as we'll as those
of the community at large are best
secured by the course We advise.
Whatever is done in the matter
should be done at once. There is dan.
ger in delay. Some suitable building
in an insulated place 10 or near the
city should be erected or purchased
within the ensuing week or two. and
Immediately fitted up for a hospital for
persons afflicted with smallpox. Ar
engagements shonld be made for their
comfort and medical attendance and
careful nursing, and patients who are
able to pay should be required to bear
the expense incurred for their recovery
those who are unable to pay should be
treated at the public charge. 1t can
be done without a very large appropri'
