COST OF RAISING CORN.

It., Is not claimed that Minnesota
is the surest and best State in the In
ion for tho raising Of corn, though we
have good crops, moro than the aver
age Of the Northwestern States, and u
good deal surer than in any other Of
tho New England States or New York.
The real cost of raising o~rn in tins
State, according to our own experience
is not less than eighteen cents per
bushel. This is without counting the
interest % the land, but the actual la
Dor required and the cost ef seed.-

HOW THEY KEEP ORDER IN LUN-
DON.

Justin Mccarthy writes from London to
the New York Evening Mail: can eminent
American who was in London the other
day, and saw the thanksgiving procession
pass through Fleet street, was, am told,
Le!i GIFTED at the wonderful order pre-
served ia that vast crowd. and frankly de-
clared to those around him that such a
thing would be impossible in New York.
As have heard his testimony quoted by
several delighted Londoners. let me re-
mark that have seen several procession 8
in New York, and I saw the London
thanksgiving procession from much the
same point Of view as the American en-
thusisst, and my mind was filled all the
time with reflection of the very opposite
kind. Order was kept in Fleet street by
a mass Of cavalry, snd infantry, aud pc
lice, by troopers, charges, driving back
the struggling and shrieking crowd by
the bayonets Of soldiers presented at stiff
ing men and fainting women. I saw
this sort Of thing over and over again un-
der the windows where I sat- I saw
the soldiers driving the people with bay
onets and sabers. saw one gallant po-
licemau, to whom all praise for his pluck
wrenching the bayonet from the musket Of
an Infatuated soldier, and save some strug-
gliug wretch from few inches Of steel. /
don't say that tho soldiers were to be
blamed. myself heard the orders given
by an officer to cluster of cavalry to drive
the crowd back, although it seemed to me
there was plenty Of room for any kind of
procession to move along. But why this sert
Of thing should fill an American with enthu-
siam and delight, certainly don't UNDER
stand

land have the first interest, for thew are the
class who suffer most from the present stag
nation of business. Well, therefore NAV this
class of our citizens query chow to do it ?''
And the answer is plain-Augusta, if not the
most prudent, at least the most persevering
of cities, has already set the example and
pointed out the feasible way. The purchase
of all the property of the ''Presumpscot Land
and Water Power Company" calls for two
hundred and ten thousand dollars, or about
six mills to the dollar upon the aggregate val
uation of Falmouth, Deering and Portland.
Now it would seem in view of these facts that
the most sensible because most feasible way
would be for the towns of Falmouth, Deering
and the city of Portland to come forward
and take this property off the hands of the
present proprietors, and dispose of it to
any company that would give a suf-
nclent guaranty that the plan of the late
Col. Speed, or something similar to it, should
at once be carried out, and for the accom-
plshment Of an object so greatly to be de-
sired these towns could well afford to pay
handsome premium by the way of induce
ment, for it will be admitted on all sides that
the benefits that would flow from it to Port
land and the towns just mentioned can
scarcely be overrated Where now are grass

How to do IL.

Under the above heading writer, who
signs himself ''Felix," shows in late num-
Der Of the daily Argus how the banking capi-
tai of Portland can and ought to be used to
aid and encourage manufacturing. 1t is not
our design to take issue with Felix, for he
shows condusively what the banks might do
for Portland if they would. But precisely
there is the Grub" For our own part we do
not give these corporations credit for any very
laudable desire to promote the public inter
est. The large amount of banking capital in
Portland is, however, one object already at
tanned; and no doubt when the 'Board of
Manufactures" have succeeded in inducing
men of enterprise to locate their mills in Port
land, the gentlemanly board of direction of
the several banks will be pleased to discount
all their well endorsed paper.
In the accomplishment of any great enter
prise, it is useless to wait for those that are
well enough off as they are to take the initia-
tive. They who have the first interest should
