The CHARACTER of the Land Grant of tn,
Northern Pacific Railroad Company as u whole, l.
readily acknowledged by all persons acquainted
with the different Grants, to be SUPERIOR 7,
THAT OF ANY OTHER ROAD; but even if tn.
average price per acre of its land sales Should no.
be above the lowest average of all the land grants
which is but d. 30 on the Kansas Pacific Road still
at this low figure tor the 900 acres held to redeem
each $50, 900 of bonds there would be surplus OF
1900 over the amount of bonds that can be issue,
on each mile Of the Northern Pacific Railroad.
During the month of December the Northern
Pacific Railroad opened Tor passengers an,
freight to the Red River of the North, the easter
boundary Of Dakota Terrtory-this, with the com
pleted road of the Pacific SLOPE and the st. Pau
and Pacific branches of 2Ss miles, makes nearly Co
miles of road in operation at the close fls7I.
As the U. 8. Government is now calling in tn,

A HIsrorr of JournnI,nm.


1t has been for some time understood that Mr..
Frederick Hudson, who, for a number of years,
was managing editor OF the New York Herald
was about to issue through Messrs. Harper Il
Brother, a History Of journalism. The Herald
says:
1.-THE plan Of the work we understand en-
braces general survey Of newspaper history
from the earliest times down to the present day ;
but the author dwells mainly on the press of the
United States, in its historical and contemporary
aspects He sketches the rise and progress OF
American journalism, from the small colonial
beginnings through various epochs of Develop
ment to the establishment of the present system
under the combined influence of the more gem
eral diffusion Of intelligence, Of commercial en-
terprise OF stt am-driven presses and the electric
telegraph. Among other in ere sting features Of
the work will be caref lily c, implied histories Of
the great representative newspapers Of America.
No man in the country is better fitted to ac-
complish work Of this character than Mr.. Fred
erick Hudson For many years intimately and
prominently connected with the American press:
man Of high culture, enlarged views master
Of piquant, lively and vigorous style thor
ongbly at home in all that pertains to newspa-
pers and also thoroughly in love with his theme
he has brought to the work capacity, knowledge
and enthusiasm which justify the prediction that
his History Of Journalism" will be one OF the
most valuable and interesting volumes ever pub
hshed by the HsTpers"

LITERATURE AND JOURNALISM.

Border "reminiscences, by Randolph b. Marcy
author OF 1.-THE Prairie Traveller" Thirty
Years OF Army Life on the Border" &c. This
volume, reprinted, we believe from the series
OF papers which appeared in the pages of har-
pe's Magazine, is a collection Of lively sketches
of army and camp life in the southwestern bor-
der States. They are amusing and jovial, red
olent OF the mannish atmosphere Of the mess
table, and fulfilling very well the aim which
their author sets forth for them in his preface,
that of ''whiling away pleasantly the ennui Of a
dull hour" SO modest claim disarms criti-
oism, since il anything ful1lls the conditions Of
its being it is enough without requiring that the
conditions should be Of high order. The book
has numerous Illustrations, very well represent
ing its literary contents.
Published by Harper Brother, New York.
Received from Porter q Co., Wilmington.
Pstersons Ladys Magazine for July has a
very pretty steel plate frontispiece, Mothers
Darling :" an abundance OF fashion plates, col
ored and uncolored stories by Frank Lee Ben
dict, Daisy Fentnor and other popular writ
ers, and song and chorus upon the not quite
unheard Of theme ' Dolly Warden, " making up
number Of full and varied attractiveness.

PRAISE TO THE WORTHY,

A very good motto is this for newspaper
Willing to praise but not afraid to blame. In
our experience in journalism We have never had
very frequent occasion to praise Democratic
office holders, but when such chance offers
we are willing to take advantage OF it,
The Democratic office holder that we are will
ing to praise, is that modest, courteous, hard
working, honest little man who has long been
City Surveyor, the initials Of whose name are
Daniel Farra.
We believe D. f., has been an upright, faith
full officer who has always discharged his duties
without fear or favor OF friend or enemy.
II his official mind came to the conclusion
that certain grade should be established SO
AID se his official foot came down and all the
growIngs, and coaxings, and bribes of interested
property holders, could not make him take 1t up
Ii the thing was right the City Surveyor saw
/ lat the thing was done. And with the judge
ment to make proper decisions, and authority tC
enforce them, we, to-day, find ours well-gradet
city.
We thus recognize the merit of the man, and
extend tho thanks of the people to the Func
tionary who has 80 well done his duty.

LonE IAfe.

Longevity is admitted to be family inheri-
tance in some households. But we might live
longer than most of us can, in consequence OF
violating laws Of health continually by over
excitement.
Civilization carries in its train vices and folHes
which prematurely exhaust the fountains Of vi
tality. II the heart beats one hundred times a
minute instead Of seventy, about the normal
standard, the sands Of life are running out too
rapidly.
In the avenues of trade and practice Of pro.
fessions, haste to be rich reduces the vital
force too quickly, as recognized in over work ed
brains. Thus more than half Of that class OF
energetic men are swept out OF existence fAl
sooner than they would have died had not era.
wing for more than was necessary for comfort
and Independence urged them on to that bourne
from whence no traveller returns.

rEEDENcIEs.
rFrom the N. Y. World
letter has recently come into Mr.. Summers
possession, written by General Grant in which
the letter " d" in the word President (Which is
several times used in the epistle) is invariably
found TO be written in larger and bolder hand
than the other letters comprising the word Mr.
Sumner, with that quick intuition which charae-
terizes his mind, and with that thorough know
ledge Of history and OF historical characters for
which he is 80 famous, has detected in this re-
mArkabe tendency of the President to employ
the letter I'd an infalble indication Of the first
eneroachments of that personal government"
which he has already shown to be the leading
traits in Gen. Grants Administration. Mr. Sum
ner infers (snd all history goes to confirm the
inferenoe) that Gen. Grant secretly designs to
found an imperial dynasty on the ruins OF this
Republic, and that with with his habitual nepo-
tism he designs further that, after his death the
imperial mantle shall fall on the Dent family.
Hence his chronic tendency to capitalize the
letter "d' in writing the word President.

1t ought to be very plain, not only to the ex-
peiienoed business men, but TO Intelligent men
who have no great business experience, that a
lease for 30 long time as practically to be per-
petual, constitutes, in reality, loan, Of which
the annual payment agreed upon is the interest.
company, for instance, which thus takes a
lease OF a railroad at seventy thousand year,
practically, where the value of money is seven
per cent, buys the road for a million dollars,
and borrows the money to pay for it. But this
very simple and obvious idea which would at
once suggest itself TO any farmer of average
capacities and ordinary common-school educa-
ton, in regard to the lease OF farm seems
often to be entirely ignored by men noted for
their familiarity with financial affairs II q mer-
chant we're TO take store at thirty-hye thou
sand dollars year, for long time as practically
to constitute a perpetual lease, the same men
would not be long in reckoning, to all intentt
and purposes, i've hundred thousand dollars
among his liabilities, and the store part of hit
property. Nor would they find any difficulty In
understanding that if the annual value OF the
store should fall to twenty-eight thousand dol.
lars, it would practically put him hundred
| thousand dollars out Of pocket. II s only in
reference to railroads that men appear to be a
all slow in seeing the application OF this princi
