Mr.. Thacher, Cashier Of the First
National Bank, "plankedn the first
money for the Exposition. He took one
share and paid the money at once.
There is one solid reason why he ought
not have done that. The Exposition, of

Thatcher, on the ground that he Is the
luckiest person in the world TO head a
list.
"A correspondent, writing from san
Francisco, April p, 1872, informs US
that the Christian Brothers of that city
are to build a college which VIII cost
one hundred thousand dollars. Many
citizens have Subscribed very hand
in sums of five, three and two
thousand dollars, etc, and already fifty
thousand dollars have thus been sub
and collected. it must be very
gratifying for the Christian Brothers to
find such marked appreciation Of their
arduous labOrs.
The Chicago RdiJrdy RoUicU, the
ablest paper of its class and character in
the Northwest and to which We are in
debted for favors, has this paragraph in
its last issue: 'TThe Western Union Tel
egraph Company during 1871, purchased
over fourteen thousand miles Of tele-
graph wire for the necessities of that
year. Already eight thousand miles
have been purchased for 1872, and the
prospects are that over fifteen thousand
miles will be needed to meet the de-
mands of the current year. This fact
finds its explanation simply in that of

The WinOna Democrat of Saturday

Tor which it has our thanks: sit is the

An esteemed correspondent Of the
APPEAL calls attention TO the fact that
his is the anniversary Of the death Of
he great Napoleon, which took place
the island Of st. Helena just fifty-one :
ago. How comparatively few |
here are living who remember that I
ime. While we were reading the note !
brought Us the reminder, Colonel !
NJ. ID. l.. Stewart remarked that he at Z
a convention at Raleigh in 1851, |
.wenty-one years ago, and out of the 9
seventeen delegates then chosen, only }

Those sanitary people who enjoy q =
rink Of bitters in the moTningin prefer =
nee TO 'raw'' liquor, are about % be !
imposed on by the liberal Congress at .
Washington. They are to be imposed 4
N, too, merely because they are sober !
nd sanitary in their disposition. Con- :
.ress proposes 10 infliet a stamp of
wenty cents value ON every bottle Of \
hose medicinal bitters. This is an un- !
discrimination in favor of 'swell- y
leadsp who get blind drunk on red-hot q
liquor. Ii is an unmitigated outrage, !,
md the people ought to get after their :
representatives about it. =
