The King and the Soldier.

The following anecdote we clip
from an exchange: So At
Frederick the Great of Prussia had
a great mania for enlisting gigantic
soldiers into the Royal Guards, and
paid an enormous bounty to his re-
cruiting officers for getting them.
One day the recruiting serjeant
CHANGED to espy a Hibernian who was
at least seven feet high; he accosted
him in English, and proposed that he
should enlist. The idea of military
life and q large bounty so delighted
Patrick that he Immediately consent
ed. "But unless yor can speal, Ger
man the King will not give you SO,
mueh.n
"Oh.r said the Irishman, sure it's
/ that don't know wordo German"
Butt said the serieant, " three
words will be enough, and those
YOU can learn in q short time. The
King knows every man in the Guards.
AS soon as he sees you, he vii ride up
and ask you how old you are I you
will say, TWentg-Seren; next how
long lave you been in the service 7
Won must reply 'Ihree reeks; finally,
If YOU are provided with clothes and
rationsf You answer, 'Both.'
Pat soon learned to pronounce his
answers, but never dreampt of learn
ing questions. Ia three weeks he ap-.
pcared before the King IN review.
His Majesty rode mp to him. Paddy

A PICTORIAL LIBEE.-ln Hdrper's

!" Negro life in the South, " to which

many what used to be called 8 likely :"

they are lampooned Through ignor-
ance perhaps) i'll this so called adj
mirable production of one of Harper's
celebrated artists. 1t is related of
Dumas, the great French novelist,
who as most of our readers know is a
auadroon, that on being questioned
as to his parentage by an impertinent
visitor rather more closely than he
relished, he traced his descent from
an ape, and if the features which Mr..
Sheppard gives to every face in a
group of eight, i'll the picture in ques-
ton were taken as evidence, we might
believe in Darwin's theory and con-
clude the negro race descended from
balloons or gorrilas, and therefore we
say the picture is a libel on a people
as good looking in general as any
other, and shows the Ignorance OF
those who pretend to depict them.-

Shall there be a Free-Trade Can
didate for President !!

ut lECC-tIdttO HIccGllS dG totSluNdN
Hall on Thursday evening acted with
good Judgment in not Fastening to
make nominal ion for President and
i'll referring the subject to a special
committee. We trust that the free
traders will maintain this iudicious
line of conduct to the end, and that
they will not undertake to nominate
a Presidential ticket of their own.
In the first place the free traders
are no more unanimous than the other
parties. A considerable number of
them, after very mature considera
ton, have enlisted under the Cincin-
matt flag, and it is very doubtful
whether they could be brought back
by any appeal that might now be ad
dressed to them in behalf of new
candidate. There is also a large
body of citizens whose sympatllies in
cline to the fiee-trade cause who re-
gard the contest to be decided in No
vember as involving issnes far more
momentous and vital than tariffs and
taxes, In the opinion OF. these citi-
zens this election is. to determine
whether we shall continue to enjoy
the forms of republican liberty under
the present Constitution OF the cOun-
try whether, indeed, the people will
hereafter be allowed TO decide upon
such II question as free trade or not.
The minds of these men are deeply
excited upon this subject, and it would
be impossible to draw them aside to
consider the merits of free trade or of
the candidates who might be chosen
to represent it. Thus the free trade
party if it should now engage in IL
Presidential campaign of its own, will
enter upon the work under serious
embarrassment. 1t will have to fight
the battle with half of its real force
engaged elsewhere, and III the event
of defeat will be worse off than if it
had not entered upon the struggle ut
all.
The free traders should also re-
member that it is already too late in
the season To organize party for Il
Presidential election. Such work
requires time and careful preparation.
1t must be carried out i'll great detail
in every township, ward, and district,
or the voters will not be brought to
the polls and the movement will be a
failure. If the free traders should
think best to form themselves into a
distinct political party, with their
candidates for every important Office,
they should set about the labor OF
organizing their adherents immediate
ly after the election of November.
Then there will be IL lull in politics,
and the work can be set on foot and
prosecuted with advantage. But ii
would be vain to attempt it now with
any hope of bringing the machinery
to a state OF efficiency before the elec-
| ton. n
The free traders are men of prin-
ciple; their system is based upon
study and reflection their doctrines
are supported by national argument
and arr. inspired By a strong moral
| feeling Tins they merit respect
even from those who entertain differ
eat theories; and it seems to us great
ly to hedesired, in the interest of pub
lie progress, that body of men so in
telligent, so sincere, SO resolute III
their views, should not now compro-
mise their cause by untilnely OF in
judicious political action.

DULUTH, MINI, March 9th, 1872.
An extent of territory only one hundred and
6hy-thrce miles in length separates the head of
navigation on the Mississippi IRON the end of
water communication upon the great lakes, and
these have been recently connected by a railway
called the Lake Superior and Mississippi rail-
road, and operated in conjunction with the
Great Northern Pacific.
Leaving the horseshoe leyee Of lower ST. Paul
and the ieyerish centre of real estate excitement
in that wonderful city, the railway passes among
the once romantic bluffs Of Indian times, a rem
devious of the famous Sioux, but now the
the busy hive of growing municipality, and
emerging therefrom extends itselfaong the roll
ing prairie over an even succession Of grades,
as monotonous to the tourists as welcome to the
capitalist The distance is composed Of ordinary
farming land few small towns or stations and
no timber except the common scrub oak
The balance Of the way nearly, and to within
twenty-five miles Of Duluth, is through the Big
Woods for seventy-fve miles, where there is not
house Or any sign of civilization, except
occasionally a railroad building, and only
wigwams marx the habitations of the
poor Indian. Here are noticed ample
resources Of material for the manuiactur.
ing communities adjacent The wood consists
Of fine white cedar, pine tamarack, spruce.
maple, birch, fir or balsam, cottonwood poplar
and species Of ash used for making baskets
and barrel hoops. The tamarack is made into
hop-poles, and also handsome rustic fences. In
| this wilderness still Turk lerocous black bears
prowling wolves and other wild beasts Of the
smaller species.
The country is less swampy than might be
supposed, from the fact Of its being situated be.
tween SO much water aud near numerous lakes.
Excepting the immediate vicinity Of Duluth
the valley Of the St. LOUIS and the great forest
all the land is gently undulaung, containing d
rich, though not deep soil and is said to be wei
adapted for grazing districts.
Al Thompson, The junction Of the Northern
Pacific with the Lake Superior, the railway
crosses the st. Louis river and follows it fol
several miles, where there are some magnificent
views OF nature; the track is built along many
nish precipices and upon trestle work spanning
J VofRes more than one hundred feet IN depth
