NINhKAI PONI NlSiONoN JANUARY 3G

Being n! Dodgeviile one day last week
we we're not pleased TO learn that NIL
wheat, corn, barley, etc, in that section
and on the same line east and west, wGs
being marketed OF stations on the Prairie
du Chen road, where farMers realize
| 5 cents per bushel more for their wheat /,
and Q cents more for corn, barley, etc,
and 20 to 80 cents more for their pork,
than is paid in Mineral Point Many
farmers erroneously suppose that the dill
ference in prices at the riyer and here
is owing to purchasers; which is not
true We believe our dealers buy on as
small margins as dealers anT where.
The difference is owing to other causes,
to-wit lst 1t costs 20 cents to trans>
port a bushel Of wheat from Mineral
Point TO Chicago, while - cents wilt
carry the same bushel from Helena Sta,
tion to Milwaukee. ID All wheat that
goes east cia Milwaukee is estimated as
Minnesota and Wisconsin wheat and
commands 5 to 10 cts. per bushe more
than Illinois wheat, as all is called that
goes east Cid Chicago Here is ex-
plained the Is cents difference between
Mineral Point and Helena prices; and
this must always be the case until we
can ship cheaper to Chicago, or secure
waukee, rs, for instance the proposed

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1873-04-04
Railroads Among the Turks.

Turkey is turning her attention to rail-
way enterprises, and though some of her
complete lines and comptemplated pro-
jects might seem small to American rail-
way kings, they indicate progression
and promise of better things. The
Levant Herald says that M. Cottard,
Director of Enterprise Generate for rail
way construction, has been inspecting a
branch line from Adrianople to Dede-
Agatch and the various sections of the
great main line from STEAMBOAT to Adrian
ople. The latter is fast approaching
completion, and will be finished during
April as far as the river Martha.
An iron bridge is being built there con-
Meeting with other lines, which will effect
an important and convenient railroad
network. Surveys for railroad from
Shumla to Adrianople have been COM
plted, and though the new line will be
shorter than that proposed by the Rou-
manian Railway Company, which was
rejected on strategic grounds, 1t will ne
cessitate a tunnel through the Balkan
Mountains of some 4, 900 yards in length.
General Mehemet Pasha, Chief OF the
Staff of the Second Turkish Army Corps,
has brought to Constantinople the trac-
ings of the new line, which is regarded
as advantageous in the military point OF
view, and not liable to hostile attacks
from an enemy's forces moving inland
from the shores of the Black Sea.

A RACE FOR LIFE.

On the I'd day of December, 1865, a
little more than year after the found
ing, by Gov. Goodwin, of the town of
Prescott, and the locating of the capital
of Arizon thereat, and while the Indians
we're still harassing and numbering the
settlers and miners throughout the
length and breadth of the Territory,
William Brady and the writer started
from Prescott City across the country
east to Santa Fe, New Mexico, dis
tance of five hundred miles, where we
expected to take the stage for the East.
We were equipped with plenty of arms,
ammunition, two go d horses, pack
mule, plenty of blankets, and provisions
for fifteen days, by which time at most
we expected to reach the settlements on
the Rio Grande.
The weather was lightful-such
weather as is only seen upon the pla-
teaus bordering on the Great Cordil-
leras. We expected no snow for at least
one month, and it was with few regrets,
and consequently light hearts, that we
rode along that morning leaving per-
haps forever the country where, for more
than two years, we had struggled in our
efforts to develop the rich resources of
the region, and, with the four or five
hundred co-laborers, suffered untold pri-
vations-at times almost dying of hun
ger and thirst, constantly harassed by
hostile Indians, with little prospect OF
sucoor from the Government. Although
our journey lay through country in
tested by hostile tribes for over two
hundred miles, we had become so used
to the dangers of savage warfare that
the fact scarcely gave us an uneasy
thought. We looked beyond the dan
ger, beyond the great plains, into pleas
ant homes, from which we had been alb
sent for years; and visions of happy
greetings which we expected to receive
within the month took the place, for the
time, of all other thoughts.
Nothing of special interest occurred
until the second day out, when we met
small party of soldiers, who, with the
United States express, had the day be-
fore been attacked, the expressman
killed, and two others of the party
wounded. Discouraging as this inteili-
gence would seem to be. we determined
to press forward as rapidly as possible,
so as to reach by little after niQhtfall
the dividing line between the Apaches
and Hualipis, the latter of whom prefer
red 10 be friendly to the whites. We
were yet distance of twenty miles TO
the above-named point, and ii was then
/ p. m. Several times during the after.
noon our attention was attrscted To white
lines of smoke rising at different points
i'm answer to each other, the LANGUAGE
of which we understood to portend evil
10 us-perhsps the most horrible of
deaths.
At p. m. we reached the place where
the attack had the day before been
made. A few broken arrows and a por
ton of the charred remains of the unfor
tunate expressman we're the remaining
evidences Of the bloody deed. We die

Things a Married Woman Cannot Help
Thinking.

That she was very pretty at sixteen.
That she had, or would have had, a
great many good offers.
That all her lady friends are five years
older than they say they are.
That she has very fine mind.
That if her husband had acted on her
advice, he would be rich man to-day.
That people think too much of the
look of that Miss -, who would not
be called handsome if she did not make
herself up.
That her mother-in-law is very try
ing woman.
That her sister-in-law takes airs, and
ought to be put down.
That her girls are prettier than Mrs.
AS girls.
That she would like to know t0hcre
her husband spends his evenings when
he stays out.
That be- eldest son takes after him.
That he is going to throw himself away
on Miss Scraggs.
That Miss Scraggs set her cap for him,
and did all the counting.
That her servant girls are the worst
ever known.
That she has taste in dress.
That she has good temper.
That she pities old maids.

The Racing Season of 1873.

There have been great gaps made in
the ranks of horses since last fall. The
mighty Longfellow will never again be
saddled on race track, nor will his old
opponent, Kingtisher. Lyttleton and
Glenelg, too, are incapacitated for fur
ther training. But the majority of
those who have done great things are
well and hourishing. Joe Daniels,
Monarchist, Harry Bassett, Alarm,
Helmbold, Saucebox, London, Abd-el-
Koree, Alroy, Aureola, Ortalan, Tub
man, Hubbard, Woodbine, and other
pubic favorites are all on the war path,
and some rafting and exciting struggles
are sure to be witnessed when they
meet. A change in the weights has
been made by the Saratoga and Mon
mouth Park Associations, the six-year-
old weight, which used to be lis
pounds, being reduced to ia pounds,
which is now the maximum weight
There is no doubt that the change will
be beneficial in one respect, as the old
horses formerly had great disadvan-
tage. But it would have been u wise
stepfor the associations to raise the scale
of weights all through, SO as to obviate
the difficulty which exists of procuring
good riders. The weight for three
year-olds in the purse races is only
ninety pounds, far too small, and it is OF
course next to impossible to get "a good
rider Mt this weight. The mania for
fast time is one reason for the low scale,
and there can be no objection to having
it raised. A three-year-old that cannot
carry 100 pounds two miles is not worth
the expense of training.
Not taking into account the four days
racing at Baltimore, as that city is rath-
er beyond the limits of the metropoli-
tan circuit, we find that between the 7th
of June and the 10Th of August there
will be twenty-six days racing, during
which about ninety races will be con-
tested. Last year 34S race-horses ran
at the great meetings, two-thirds OF
them in New York State, and it is GER
tain there will be even more this year.
With more horses in training than ever
before known, with more money given
to be run for, and with the increasing
taste for this kind of sport among the
people, are we wrong i'll predicting that
the coming season will be far more bril-
liant than any previous one? Those
who have studied the subject will, we
think, agree with this opinion.-NeW
