THOSE COUNTY BONDS.

Here we are now, Ill dreadfulIy uncom-
Portable estate of mind'' according to the
Duluth Ninnesotiaa, and all because we
did not heed g the advice Of the Njanes0
tian in regard to the issuing of those
County Bonds given them gratuitouSly."
It is the advice, and not the bonds, that the
Doctor means was given gratuitoU>iy.
But the veteran editor" is rs far out of
the way, in his statement OF facts, IS III the
structure of his sentences. He is old
enough to know by this time, that gratul-
tons advice and kicks are the two things
which most people had rather give than
receive.
Sensible of that, we are disposed to be
quite charv of either, otherwise we should
be temptel-as one good turn deserves
another-to advise our Duluth trienls, not
nv any manner of means to stake their
hopes of happiness and riches. on the sus-
pension, for any great length of time, of
work on the State Line road, nor on the
expectation that the Northern Pacific Com
panv will build 4 railway on the dyke, IN
stead of across the St. Louis river to Con
ner's Point and thence down i'll front OF the
Bay Of Superior.
Those Duluth people are fearfully and
wonderfully mistaken who inagiae that the
interruption, just at this time, OF work on
the State Line road, signifies only the ina
bility of Messrs. Walbridge Brothers and
SARGENT, to 90 on with the enterprise, and
has no connection with other railroad pro
jects shortly to be carried out in favor of
Superior.
1t must be confessed that the sweet un-
selfish good nature, exhibited on the part
of the "veteran editorn in "gratuitously"
advising the people of Superior, is touching
in the extreme, and we believe is apprecl-
ated by them: though the advice itself, we
fear they will not be governed by, as 1t Is
not at all unlikely that those very boniS,
will ro into the hands of the Northern Pa
cifc Company, if not for "completed rail-
road resultsn-to borrow the Mdsaesot'ats S
terse and felicitous phrase-at least Tor
very reliable and satisfactory assurances OF
results to be accom- .,lished in due time
We could give YOU more explicit inform
alton. Doctor, if we thought 1t best, but
Won miobt not make good use OF 1t, and
again it would make you as unhappy as you
IMAGINE the people Of Superior to be. -

farm steadily, and on large scale, Ill the
latitude of Lake Superior, and in the lmme-
diate vicinity of the Lake. There is no
question in the minds Of rejecting men IN
this quarter, that had each of our citizens
opened up a farm here, fifteen, twelve or
even ten years ago, there would have been
at the present time a larger population here,
more money in possession and circulation,
aud a greater inducement TO new comers to
cast in their lot among us permanently,
than there has been until quite lately.
We are glad to note that our neighbors
over the bay are striving TO do something
in the matter of encouraging farming on Il
considerable scale, and as there is no man
ncr OF doubt that it viii pay both the pro-
iectors Of the scheme, and those who are
engaged in carrying QUO their plans prac-
ticaiIy. we hope to see it emulated in this
vicinity.
1t is hard to prove to the immigrant that
this is the excellent farming country we
know it 10 be, as he looks at our miles and
miles of unbroken forest. Ten well ordered
farms side by side in steady operation,
would do more to convince the decrlers OF
our climate and soil of their real agrlcul-
tural value, than ten volumes year pub
lshed on this subject, merely detailing ex-
perlments in isolated farms and gardens.
1t would be well too, that more attention
were devoted to thequahty of our vegeta-
bes and produce. Excellent and surpass-
ing in quality as have been the garden yield,
OF farm products of several that might be
named, we are sorry the same cannot be
said of all that is raised in this county.
Why any will plant an inferior quality OF
potat oes for example, or mix good, bad, and
Indifferent in such . splendid potato coun-
try as this, is something that passes our
comprehension. Nowhere does it pay bet
ter to plant the best than on Lake Superior.
If every farmer and gardener this present
season, should put in the Early Rose potato
or some equally choice variety, and then
spare no pains in cultivation, the ample re-
suit would more than pay for the extra
trouble taken. We have seen as sorry
looking specimens of the potato raisedrhere
as in the states so unfortunate as 10 lie far
ther south, but it was labor thrown away
to raise such failures. No man can make
agriculture remuneralive who does not do
his best in selecting and cultlvating the
products of the soil.
We have noticed that some among Us
already have name for good farming and
gardening, and they find it a paying repu
tation. Their crops having been invari ably
good, large portion of each are contracted
for in advance, and SO n careful farmer Cor
be as sure of a permanent income as sal
aried officer, or a man with money at inter
est There is one county Office we can eacl
hold. and that is the paying Office of farmer
in Douglas county. Let the present year
mark an advance in this matter, that vii
keep pace with our expected railway ad
vantages.

IMPORTATION WANTED.

In the United States Senate on the Odd
inst, resolution was adopted, on motion
of Senator Carpenter, calling upon the De
partment Of Justice tor information as to
proceedings which have been taken in the
courts, to restrain the digging of a canal
across Minnesota Point at Duluth.
This is an eminently proper step, and is
as we trust, but the beginning Of proceed
ings that will uncover some transactions,
which the country is more Interested in
knowing all about, than is at present gen
orally conceived. 1t will be interesting to
learn how many millions of dollars man
must have, under our system of government
as practically administered, in order that his
whims and caprices may be taken into the
account by government officials, and hui
mored to the extent of sub >tituting them in
the place of well digested and deliberately
adopted plans and measures for the general
good, already in process of execution under
professional and impartial supervision.
And if an officer Of the government, may
nature or obsequiousness, consent to such a
substitution, it would be interesting to
know how far he may be allowed at the
same time to shut his eyes to all con>id era-
tions of the damage and disa Vantage that
other interests may suffer in consequence OF
the proposed change. Some captious peo-
pie may think perhaps that we mean to in
innate, that if a poor 6ut honest pioneer in
Wisconsin, had desired in his own interest,
the suspension of q government proceeding
which though regular aad fpr the general
good, yet interfered with his special pet
projects, his wish would not have been 50
readily granted, as was similar favor upon
Jay Cookies asking. Oh no! we well know
that such a suspicion would be prepoSter-
ous, aud everybody is at liberty to construe
this article so as to exclude any such. init

THE NEW GOLD DISCOVERIES ~ THE
LAKE SUPERIOR REGION


We received a call yesterday from w. A Northrup
Fsq prominent business and resident Of Iough
ton, Lake Sap rior, but who has been spending the
winter in prospecting in the famous silver and gold
districts of Canada surrounding Thunder Bay, the
"North Shore" of Lake Superior. Mr.. Northrup re
ports the prospects in highly favorable terms. The
great Silver Islet mine is rich ever, and has pro-
duced large amount Of rich silver during the
winter which will be shipped to the Wyandotte Smell,
ing Works by the first boats in the spring. Another
mIne, the Shuniaha, which had been producing mod
eratey during the past season. struck rich vein few
&iys before Mr.. Northrup5 departure, which gives a
new impetus to the stock value in Detroit where it is
mostly held. A sngle Dast threw out barrel of sill
ore rich in pure metal that found at Silver
Iset
There is great excitement now the discoveries
of gold made late last fall and upon the opening Of
navigation the rush to this new Edorado cannot but
be immense. The gold field lies rorl seventy to one
hundred miles back from the head of Thunder Bay in
a most desolate rocky region, which nothing but gold
would tempt to stay in for single day The gold
occurs in pure state, aud associated with sulphure
of ,ron the latter being predominant. But little act
ua mining has been done in the gold veins thi winter
owing to the sHow, etc. One party of twelve mer
have got and half tons of ore, which repeat
ed assays prove contain from 900 900 nortt
of gold per ton.
The latest discovery is seeming abundance of tir
ORE much richer than any obtained in Cornwall Eng
land, yielding from 40 to 60 per cent. of metal.

It;s f,ll time for more and better cultl-
walton of the ground at the head OF Lake
Superior. This is not saying that there mas
not been fair degree OF effort put forth IN
this line each year, and fine crops raised oY
MANY already. But after all, more OF our
citizens should have engaged IN the work.

world beyond doubt, that it will pay to

the entry, at the. mouth of the St Louis
river, and thence by bridge across the en-
try, to Wisconsin Point
There are several obstacles in the way OF
carrying out this precious scheme First,
the dyke itself, we venture to say, is an
ephemeral structure. If Wisconsin is just
to herself, the whole thing will be removed,
and the Duluth canal will be closed forever
Secondly, if any railroad company
chooses to run a track down Minnesota
Point, that is the company's business, but
when it shall attempt to b lid u bridge
across the entry, that will be a matter
which Wisconsin will have something to
say about and locomotive will be allow
'esi to go crashing through the State House
itself, at Madison, just as soon as bridge
will be permitted across Superior entry.
Nor in our opinion will any railroad
bridge, or bridge of any kind be tolerated
across the waters Of Superior harbor, at
any place between Minnesota Point and the
Wisconsin shore. This the Duluth editors
probably well know, and they ought not to
conspire with real estate dealers to say the
contrary, for the purpose OF swindling buy
ers into investments in Duluth town lots.

Washingten's Masonic Apron.


In 1776 there was sitting at the table Of til
commandant 1t Metz. in Germany, listir
guished scion OF an ancient noble Frenc
family. During the conversation Ut the tabl
the Duke of Gloucester, brother to the Kin
Of England, spoke Of the Declaration Of In
| dependence, just put forth BY the Anglo
Il American Colonies, and Of the strong meas
nres adopted by the British Ministry to crusl
/ the rising rebellion.
i The young nobleman listened in silence
BE was q boy in torn and personal appear
ance, just past eighteen; but the heart of pa
ltriot and nero was beating beneath his
closely buttoned coat, snd his imagination
and zeal were fired ut the recital of people
i fig ting for liberty. He rose from the table.
i hurriedly made his arrangements 10 return To
/ Paris, and revealed his high resolve to his
equally enthusiastic young wife. He came
to America. sought the acquaintance of the
Comnander-in-Ch Chief of the American army,
and volunteered to fight in the cause of Amer
lean liberty.
Life. youth, fortune, and the endearments
Of home were all freely devoted to colonial
emancipation. just the method to awaken
the nobler sentiments Of the heart, self-sacri-
ficing deyotiol of others. Washington felt
the electric shock from his benevolent heart
and took Latayette to his bosom; nor was the
bond severed till death gave the stroke OF
mortal separation. 5s
After the close Of the war the young no.
bleman. with, moro of manly maturity, re-
turned to Paris, and over and over again, in
glowi eloquence, tehearsed the noble vil-
tues of the great American leader to his
young and charming wife. She. like every
true woman, was always deeply interested in
everything that engaged the attention of her
husband.
She soon came to reverence Washington
with feeling closely allied to that Of deyo-
tion. She corresponded with him. and receiy-
ed from him cordial invitations to the simple
delights Of rural life at Mount Vernon.
In 1854 Lafayette determined to visit
Washington in his retirement. Madame
Lafayette earnestly desired to present some
visible testimony Of her regaad to the great
patriot, Besides the bond of personal friend
ship there was bond Of union between
Washington and Lafayette Of different
character. They were members Of the fra
ternity of Free and Accepted Masons. and
both loved the '.mystic brotherhood.n Mad
anne Lafayette took advantage OF this charm
to add interest to her testimonial Of esteem.
She prepared with her own hands an apron
of white satin, upon which she wrought in
all the various emblems of the
Masonic order. This she sent theher hus-
band to be presented to her ideal of true
greatness at Mount Vernon. 1t was kept by
Washington as cherished memorial of
noble woman during his lite. It now occu-
pies conspicuous place on the walls of the |
Grand Masters room in Masonic Hall, Phla-
lelphia. " ------a- ~ ------ L-- L-.-----

Most Of our readers are aware of the pecu
liar quality OF paper for resisting the passage
Of cold through its fibre. This peculiarly
has led to the mode OF making bed comfort
abies warmer by lining them with newspa-
pers, which is good until the paper. wears o,
works into holes. A writer in the Home and
Health says he has tried q similar way of at
tanning the same object on cold nights. when
he has not had, sufficient bedding at hotels.
where we cannot always get just what we
want Throw off one or two OF the top COW
ers from the. bed, then pull from the pocket
or satchel two or three large newspapers
one very large one viii do; spread them on
the bed and replace the cover. and you will
have warm and comfortable night, withoul
any pereeptible increase in the weight of the
bedding. Again. when you have a cold ride
of ten or twelve miles against the wind place
a spread newspaper over your chest before
you button up your overcoat. and you will
not become chilled through. Nothing can be
cheaper, and, as far as it goes, nothing more
efficient. F....ss.s, ,.ts... ss5sg .ss
