PERSON4L NOTES.

Mr.. f. 3. Phillips, President OF the WIS
Cen r. r. Construction Co., and Captain
Wellman, Chief Engineer Of the same, call
ed on us Monday Of this week. We were
glad to see here, these gentlemen. so prom
inently connected with an enterprise, which
so intimately concerns Superior. This
place is the charter terminus of that road,
and we hope for the future, to see more OF
the gentlemen connected with its manage
ment. Capt Welman informed us that
within few weeks they should commence
at this point the survey OF their line be-
tween here and Ashland. Business.
Heman D. Walbridge, Esq, who has
spent some weeks among rs looking after,
and working up railroad matters, left on
Thursday for Toledo, Ohio. AIr. w. is an
active business man and clever gentleman;
he made very many friends during his stay
in Superior, who will be glad to see him
back to stay. He is enthusiastic as to our
railroad prospects.
Mr. William Chandler, the great tie con-
tractor on Minnesota railroads, with his
son-in-law, Mr.. Parcher, spent several days
in town this week Mr.. &. recently pur-
chased the SPLENDID Grant block fronting
on Superior Bay, besides other eligible lots
in Superior, and had faith enough in our
future to make some further investments
during this last visit.
l. IL. WING Esq. Receiver of the Bay
field land office, was passenger on the
Cuyahoga, but he didn't come to Superior;
he got off at Duluth. Ike, the steamer
could have come III at our entry, just as
easily, with you aboard. Try it next time,
jus. to please yonr friends here.
Gen L. T. Webb Of Lacrosse was in
town on Monday, as sedate and solemn as
usual Every man he spots he makes a
friend of.
Hon. s. S. Vaughn of Bayfield, was also
around on Monday. We are glad to learn
that this old pioneer in the lake country,
mot an old man however, once our worthy
representative in the Legislature, is likely
to reap at Ashland, the rewards of energy
and sagacity.
Mr.. A. Loranger left this morning for
Cleveland to purchase goods. We under
stand that it is his intention to start dry
goods store in this place on his return.
Col. d. c. Houston, Z. S. Engineer, left
this place on Thursday for his home in
Chicago For nearly two weeks he has
been here devoting himself assiduousIy to
his duties connected with Superior Harbor.
The ''muddIe" made by the canal and dixie
have given him considerable trouble, but
we hope the action of Congress, by restor-
ing the normal condition Of things here,
will relieve him of annoyance on that score.
Had the plans of the Engineer Bureau not
been interfered with by Duluth, that place
would have had a good harbor and entry
as well as Superior, by this time.

THE DOORSTEP.

The conference meeting through at last,
We boys around the vestry waited
To see the girls come tripping past,
Like snowbrds waiting to be mated,
Not braver he that leaps the wall
BY level mushet flashes litten,
Than l, who stepped before them all,
Who longed to see me get the mittep,
But no, she blushed and took my arm
We let the old folks take the highway,
And started toward the Maple Farm
Along kind of lovers byway.
can't remember what we said
Twas nothing worth a song or story,
Yet that rude path by which we sped
Seemed all transformed and in q glory
The snow was crisp beneath our feet,
The moon was full, the fields were cleaning
BY hood and tippet sheltered sweet,
Her face with youth and health was beaming
The little hand outside the muff-
O, sculptor if you could but mould it,
So lightly touched my jacket cuff
To keep it warm had to hold It,
To have her with me there alone,
Twas love and fear and triumph blended;
At last we reached the foot-worn stone
And that delicious journey ended.
She shook her rnglets from her brow,
And with THANK you, Ned, dissembled
But yet knew she understood
With what daring wish | trembled.
A cloud passed kindly overhead,
The moon was slowly peeping through 1t,
Yet hid his face as if it said
Come, now or never, do it, do 1t! .
My lips till then had only known
The kiss of mother and of sister,
Pnt somehow full uDOn her own
Sweet, rosy, darling mouth kissed her.
Perhaps It's boyish love, yet, still,
O, lis.less, woman. weary lover!
To feel once more that fresh, wild thrill
I'd give-but who can live life oyer'

BENDING A TREE.-Some years ago,
gentleman in one of our Southern States had
wild, reckless son. He had long passed
the age when the rod is deemed necessary to
insure obedience; but one day, after some
great offence, the father resolved to whip
him, The youth submitted. but after re-
ceiving the chastisement, quietly turned to
the parent, and, pointing TO asmail tree
near the door, said: 1" Father, wish you
would bend that tree for me- Surprised,
the father answered: Why, what do you
mean?" Can you do it?" mo, of
course not. "You could have done it
once-and SO il is with me; there has been a
time when you could have bent me to your
will; it is too late now."

THE LITTLE PEOPLE.
DY LOHN G. MUIrTT

by JOHN G.. WHITTIER.
A dreary place would be this earth
Were there no little people in it;
The song of life would lose its mirth,
Were there no children to begin iti
No little forms, like buds to grow,
And make the admiring heart surrender;
No little hands on breast and brow,
To keep the thrilling love-chords tender.
The sterner souls would grow more stern,
Unfeeling nature more inhuman;
And man to stole coldness turn,
And woman would be less than woman.
Life's song, indeed, would lose its charm,
Were there no babies to begin it;
A doleful place this world would be,
Were there no little people IN it.

Grssisys All Right on the Finances.
The New York Herald. the great
financial organ OF the country, in an
article upon the Presidential osmpaign
and its effect upon the Ahancea Of the
country, expresses it's conviction that
the election of the Liberal ticket could
not result injuriously. Retrenchment in
expenditures and honesty in the conduct
ct affairs, the Herald acknowledges. to
be among the prime objects of the
Liberal movement, and says they can
not fail to have favorable effect upon
the public securities The Herald lays
great stress, too, upon,i another great
object of the Liberal movement, which
is. to restore harmony between the
different sections of the country. and to
bury out of sight the issues of the war.
Says the Herald: sg.
''This of itself would tend to promote
the material interests OF the republic,
and particularly of the South, aud
therefore must lead to a better fippncial
condition." ~" n7pH "oi.

place in the hottest part of the day. As
the sheriffs have to "spell out" all the

5 We learn from Cuba. that after the
1st Of July next, all the prizes in the
Royal Havana Lottery are to be paid in
bills OF the Spanish Bank, and not, as
heretofore, in gold. oRnt' months past,
these bills have been,at discount OF ten
per cent. and upward according to the
amount Of oaah required. In reality
they are worthless. With a capital OF
only 100000 the bank has, to-day,

pay its notes on presentation. Besides.
within the last ten days, it has put forth

Liberalism i'm Louisiana.

The most marked effect which the
Democratic endorsement OF Greeley and
Brown has yet had in giving fresh int
pulse to the Liberal movement is in
Louisiana. There appears to be a
strong Greeley element among the CO.
lored people in that State, OF the more
Intelligent and educated kind, and of
course their influence. will be felt among
the more ignorant Of their race. Stella
Martin, colored citizen of Shreveport,
Louisiana, has written an admirable
letter to the New York Tribune, stating
in terse terms the reasons why he pre-
ferred honest Horace to military Grant,
and giving the assurance that Greeley
and Brown will receive 10000 colored
votes in Louisiana.
Yesterday, We were informed by tels-
graph that Lieutenant Governor Pinch
back, who is host in himself, has taken
the stump In the good cause. BE is the
most prominent oolored man In his
State, and has large following. So
much for the colored people.
Among the white conservatives, the
probabilities of uniting the different
elements of opposition to the Grant
faction hasgrown considerably brighter.
The Democrats, Reformers and Liberal
Republicans have hitherto failed in their
partial efforts at harmony.
Tho ooroo 49,. n.o.o
placed State ticket in the field, without
regard to the wishes or interests of the
Liberal Republicans, and there was
grave cause to apprehend that this bull
uecked policy would commit the State
again to the control of the Grant Gus
tom House party. who have been plum
dering it for the last three years. But
since the National Democratic party at
Baltimore has declared for Greeley and
Brown, the Bourbonists of Louisiana
appear to have opened their eyes consi-
derahly, and TO have come, into more
practicable flame Of mind. There is
now b3f little doubt thet the ultra Demo
cratic candidates will be withdrawn, and
a combination be- effected on liberal
principles: There is not more than q
difssfepcss spga,5 800 in the black 5apa, the
white vbAoi Louisiana. andsii any sor.
of coalition can be effected, the electoral
vote Of the State is certain for Greeley
and Browp: Liberalism now offers q
noble rallying point for all the reform
elements in the State, and the Demo
Gratis are at last becoming convinced of
it. They must consolidate to defeat the
Custom House ring, and they can only
consolidate by centreing upon Greeley
and Brown. ,tt t1e.a

No SALE.-The sale Of city bonds
which was to have come off yesterday,
we are glad to announce, has been post
poned. 1t is impossible to realize at
this time anything like proper price
Tor the bonds. The present miserable
condition of our State Government me-
oessarily effects iDjuriously all classes of
public securities in the State. When the
Government is reformed to some extent,
and return made to honest and econo-
mioal management, the city of Columbia
bonds ~ill be greatly enhanced in value.
The bonds should sell at par, or not be
sold at all, and we hope the City Coun-
oil will, at least, hold on to them until
after the fall elections. when. IL the re-
form sought for shall be attained, bet
ter sale can be effected.

1.-The purpose for which the United
States troops have been sent TO Robeson
County is somewhat of a mystery, as
yet, although there are many that be-.
lieve they are intended to intimidate and
overawe the conservative voters in that
County. Some of the troops, it Is said,
assert that they are seut there to hunt
out the remnant of the Lowrey band,
others that they are to enforce the reve-
nue. laws in regard to illioit distillation,
and others again have said that they are
to influence the election. As for the
former, it seems very tardy thing in
the case OF the outlaws, and that the ao-
ton is taken at rather peculiar time,
In view OF the election SO near at hand
as for illicit distillation, it is we'll.
known fact that troops are not needed to
suppress anything of the kind in that
County, and the inference is, therefore,
that they are sent there to canvass for

The Liberal movement starts with an

the battle will be won without the aid of
