a perfect flood of immigration is pouring
into Minnesota this year 1t comes from
Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, Hol-
land and the Emerald Isle, from the pine
clad hills Of Maine, from the Green Noun
tains, from New York and the Centr.
States. Invalids seeking he.l,h, crowd our
hotels and sportsmen may soon be seen
swarmng over our p"alrles. Counties
which but 4 year ago had no organization
now have their thousands of settlers. Our
railroad lines are berg extended rapidly
and new cities are sprinying up as if by
magic.
III 1862 the first mile of l.ulroad was
built in Minnesota. At the close Of 1871
1900 miles had been built, 500 miles during
that year. In 1872 the number of miles
constructed bids fair to be greater than the
previous year. Already the Northern Pa
ctic is constructed to Moorehead, The St
Paul q Pacific to Breckenridge, both on
the Red River and the west line of the
state, opening up a new and fertile region
The St. Paul & Sioux City r. r. has louo
since passed the boundaries Of our state
crossing the line in Mobiles county and is
now completed within thirty-five miles ol
Sioux City. The Winona q St. Peter rail
road is pushing rapidly westward. The
Hastings q Dakota railroad will have been
completed to Glencoe by the lst of August
A road has been graded within the past
few months from Winona to the State line
and in a few weeks there will be a direct
connection from this city all rail to Du
buque. The S. NJ. II. II. is also picking up
and there is prospect of lis beng pushed
to a connection with the ST. Paul & Sioux
City, probably this year. The Iowa Cen
trail and Davenport u st. Paul are working
up the matter of bonuses, and before snow
flies will have gained toothoId in oul
State.
More prairie is being turned over thi,
year than ever before, and from all parts Of
the State reports come to us of bountlfu
crops Farmers in the older counties are
building, and bea1itiiyng their premises
and in the newer counties people are busy
and contented--1KtnueapoliS Tribune, 25th

THE NEW POSTAL CODE. .-REGULATION
WITH WHICH HETERYBODY SHOULD
BE ACQU1LNTEL A

We have already published two or three
items of the new postal code, but rs there
are many points in the code with which the
public should be familiar, and thereby save
troubling themselves and Uncle Sans long
suffering representatives in the p. o. "stamp
mills" with entirely unnecessary questions
Hudson Democrat all the late additions to
the code 1t is worth while to note and
remember what is said about drop letters
and published letters, also the item con-
cerning books, specimens, and merchandise
sent by mail. The newspaper rates are
entirely too complicated for ordinary mem
ories and therefore it would be well to pre-
serve this paper for reference hereafter
The following are the new portions of the revised
regulations just issued under the new postal code by
the Postmaster General. The portions not given be-
low are mere repetitionS of existing regulations:

WONDERFUL ADVENTURES or DOCTOR
LIVING STONE

LIpIAGSJ OAE.
The New York HeraM has letters from
Stanley giving history of 4 meeting with
DR.. Livingstone, and the latter's account of
his explorations. 1t says the Chambesi is
the headwaters of the Nile. The stories
the doctor tells Of the two countries through
which the great river runs read like a fable.
He tells of ivory being so cheap and plenli-
ful as to be used for the door posts! OF a
skiltul manufacture of a fine grass clo;f.
rivaling that of India; of a people nearly
white and extremely handsome, whom he
suppoSes to be descendants Of the aIcien,
Egyptians; Of copper mines at Katau@,.
that have been worked for ages, and of do
ciIe and friendly people. Dir. Livingstone
and Stanley explored the head flake Tn
gauyike and returned to Uilji where tney
spent Christmas of 1871. Stanley s.vs nc
found Livingstone in vey destitute con-
dition, robbed and deserted by his men.
He looks to be only about fifty, and IS qu e
hale and hearty.

BUSINESS LAw.-The following brief
compilation of business law IS wo",h a care
ful preservation, as it cont.t'ns the essence
of :, large amount of legal verbiage:
1t is not legally necessary to say on note for val
ue received"
A note on Sunday is void
Contracts made Sunday cannot be enforced.
A note by minor is void.
A contract made with a minor is void.
A contract made with a lunatc is void.
A obtained by fraud, from person in a
state of intoxcation, cannot be collected
If is lost stolen, it does not release the
maker; he pay il if the consideration for which
lit was given and the amount can be proven
An endorser of note is exempt from liability If not
served with notice of dishonor within twenty-four
hours of is non payment
Notes bear interest only when so stated.
Principals are responsible for the acts of their
agents
Ignorance of the law excuses no one.
1t is fraud conceal fraud
The law compels one to do impossibites.
An agreement wi hout consideration is void.
Signatures made with lead pencil are good in law.
A receipt for money is not always conclusive.
The of one partner bind all the rest.

A CALIFoENIA engineer predicts that IN
ten years time the whole country viii be
grldironed with narrow gauge railroads.
lie estimates the average cost of these 70. ds
to be below $4,000 per mile, and says ihut
passengers can be transported over ,hem
at one cent a mile, and that fieights II be
carried at proportionaely low rates. In bis
opinion, farmers can afford to build these
roads by subscription for the purpose Of
taking their products to market. He claims
that wherever these roads have been made,
the stock has paid handsome dividends:
though such is rarely the case with the
broad gauge roads, while in Sweden and
Norway they are coming into general use.
Colorado has narrow gauge railroad some
eighty miles long, and it is meeting the ex-
pectation of the builders. Charters to build
narrow gauge roads have been granted IN
quite number OF States, and few lines
have been commenced. st Paul Press.
