We do not believe in making such an ar

exciting news we might want five Or six
pages. But in nine cases out of ten the
Appeaps rule is a good one. Few, very
few correspondents know when they have

To the second question, should be added
the inquiry as to the matter of free whisky.
1t occurs to us that the C0urier-J Journal is
very rigid in it's exactions, taking into
consideration, the class it is to effect. The
change is too great and too sudden. When

migration and refuse to accept free passes,
the millennium may be looked for as near

GENERAL BEN BUTLER is fairly on the
track as a candidate for Governor of Mas
sachusetts, He says he will not feel UNI
kindly. to those friends who may oppose
him, but that his Heart will beat little
warmer for those who favor him. Benja-
min is a knotty customer. He isn't ex-
actly the kind of a man to be taken to ones
bosom and yet he is not to be kicked by
every passer-by. About the best thing for
those to do who can't endure his company
is to let him severely alone.

THE new Oregon Senator seems to be a
s'bad egg" His name is not Mitchell as
he would have his constituents believe,
but Nipple instead. His first important
exploit was to marry an innocent, clever
woman in Pennsylvania and then basely
desert her. Going to Oregon, he changed
his name, and strangely enough, succeeded
in getting elected to the Senate. He may
not take his seat in that body.

ABOUT REGISTERS FEES.


Wehave received from M. B. Strunk Clerk
of Scott county Court, communication
eight pages long, defending himselfagainst
some unjust reflections made by the SOUTH,
a newspaper misnamed and published in
New York. "A MIR. Lockd, of New York
City, sent to Mr.. Strunk deed for regis
tration. The consideration named on the
face was $1,000. According to law, Mr..
Strunk required charges to the amount of
S13-S10 for State and County tax on con-
sideIation for sale of land. Registers fee 50
and Clerks fee 81. These taxes are accord
ing toIlaw. Mr.. Locke not familiar with the
State and county tax law, thought the
claim of Mr.. Strunk extertionate, and so
rushed into print. The editor of the South,
who it seems knows very little about it,
goes off on his ignorance and concludes it
must be a fraud. Thereupon, assuming to
be "the guardian of Tennessee at the Me-
tropolis," the South feels compelled to
speak, and it speaks as might be expected
-ignorantly. Mr.. Strunk need not feel
aggrieved: The South is a paper with a
pretentious name, but with little circula
ton or influence. But for the Nashville
Banner republishing it, the article referred
to would never have been heard of. We
have not room for Mr.. Strunk's communi
cation, but give him the benefit of hear

In August, Kentucky will elect State
Legislature. The State has been so cursed
with incompetent men in that capacity
that the people are waking up on the sub
ject. The Courier Journal makes up the
following list of questions to be pro-
pounded to candidates for the Legislature
"First-Are you in favor eliminating the
process of revising the present constitution
at the ensuing session of the General AS
sembly?
Second-Are you in favor of promoting
the farming interests of Kentucky by sup
porting liberal appropriation for the pur-
pose of encouraging immigration
Third-Will you accept free pass, OF
any description, over the line of any COM
mon carrier, especially from railroad
company, in this Commonwealth? and
will you support a measure prohibiting
the acceptance thereof by any judicial, leg
islative or executive officer of Kentucky
Fourth-Are you IN favor of saving the
peoples money by biennial sessions, or
wasting it by annual sessions? T
Fifth-Will you discourage special legis-
lati IN, and to that end oppose the incor-
poration of any company that can be or
ganized under the existing general laws z"

like excluding Democrats, for who ever

The Northern Pacific Railway.

The st. Paul Dispatch publishes the
report of an interview with Mr.. Mead,
General Superintendent of the Northern
Pacific railway. The reporter COM
menced operations by interrogating the
gentleman somewhat in this way :
There is very general impression,
Mr.. Mead, that the failure of Jay Cooke
will stop the further prosecution OF the
work on the Northern Pacific. Can
you tell me what the prospect is in that
direction p" To which the General
Superintendent responded: g do not
know only that 1 have had no instruc-
tions to stop operations. A month ago
the company determined to go ahead
and make some large expenditures,
preparing the road for winter by build
ing. snow fences, etc. / have received
no orders to stop, and infer from this
that the Jay Cooke failure will not sus-
pend our work
Reporter-The contract for building
additional road has been let, L believe.
Mr.. Mead-No, sir. The bids were
opened last week Wednesday, and there
were a good many of them requiring a
great deal of computation. Some par
ties have been notified that they would
not get the contract, but no award has
been made.
Reporter-How much do you design
to build this fall
Mr.. Mead-The contract to be let was
for 205 miles, but it was only expected
to grade thirty this fall, and to lay the
iron in the spring. That would take us
TO the coal beds.
Reporter-Do you think this work will
be prosecuted at once?
Mr.. Mead-Thst can't say. Cookies
failure may delay matters. L know,
four weeks ago, when our folks met il
New York, everything looked favorable.
There have never been but $50, 600, ,0OC
in 7-30 bonds authorized, and up to that
time $23, 100000 had been sold. The
other $1,000, 900 Gen. Cass and some OF
his friends arranged to take Independent
of Jay Cooke, and this is what was re-
lied upon to build the 205 miles. Now
[ can't say what effect the failure OF
Jay Cooke may have, but l know the
$500, 900, 900 were all taken, and the in
tention was, when the other bonds Were
issued, to make them bear per cent.
Reporter-Is the Northern Pacific
owing many bills here or in the State
Mr.. Mead-We are owing nothing be
yond our monthly expenses, which the
earnings of the road meet, except what
has been contracted within the past
three weeks. We settled the last of oul
old bills three months ago. About
three weeks ago we commenced making
a contract for snow fences, and making
other preparations for winter. We ex
pect to expend about $4,000 i'll this
work, and these recent contracts com
prise all our indebtedness. This ex
penditure / have no order to stop.

Japan.

japanese finances are getting into a
very muddled condition. 1t was only
recently announced that the Minister of
Finance had resigned, and that a new one
had taken his place. The latter has also
recently resigned, and with him all the
officials connected with the Department
of Finance, for the very good reason that
they cannot solve the money-problem OF
their country. The State debt amounts
to S1O4, 100000, and is constantly in
creasing, while the Government is un-
able to raise any more funds by taxation.
1t is reported that all the public works
now in progress are to be stopped, that
the issue of paper money is to cease, and
that all the expenses are to be reduced
to the minimum, and that no more Euro
pean institutions are to be introduced
for the present. 1t is undoubtedly the
blind haste with which the japanese
have gone into the reform business, with
out stopping to consult the expense, that
has involved them in this lamentable
financial snarl.

Birds Let Off From a Balloon.

One who had large experience in travel
ing through the air thus describes the
actions of birds when let off from bal
loon AT an altitude of 11,000 feet
we liberated green linnet, which flew
away directly; but, soon feeling itself
abandoned in the midst of an unknown
ocean, it returned and settled on the
stays of the balloon. Then, mastering
fresh courage, it took second flight
and dashed downward to the earth, de-
scribing tortuous yet almost perpen-
dicular track.
GA pigeon, which was let loose under
similar circumstances, afforded more
curious spectacle. Placed on the edge
of a car, it rested awhile, measuring, as
it were, the breadth of that unexplored
sea which it designed to traverse now
launching into the abyss, it fiuttered ir-
regularly, and seemed at first to try its
wings in the thin element, till after few
strokes, it gained more confidence, and
whirling in large circles or spirals, like
the birds of prey, it precipitated itself
toward the mass of extended clouds,
where it was lost to sight.

A Brief History Of the Northern Pa.
ciflc Railway.

The Northern Pacific railway enter
prise, the chief cause of the present sus-
pension of the house of Jay Cooke e
Co., originated in 1864, Congress in
that year adopting the act of incorpora-
ton and granting land to aid in the con-
struction of the railway and telegraph
line from Lake Superior to Puget
sound. The first meeting of the Board
of Commissioners took place in Boston
on the 1st of September, 1864. The
officers were instructed to open books
within ninety days in all the chief cities
to receive subscriptions to the capital
stock. Stock books were Immediately
opened, and it was not long until $780,
600, or 20, 900 shares at so share, was
subscribed. Another meeting was held
and the present officers elected, Josiah
Perham being the President.
The work of surveying and construct
ing soon commenced, the subscription
books in the meantime being kept open.
The charter granted by Congress gave
to the company, for each mile of finished
road, twenty alternate sections of pub
lie land leach section containing $40
acres) on each side of the line in the
Territories, and ten alternate sections
in the State through which it ran.
This was equivalent to $4,000 acres per
mile in the Territories, and II, 800 per
mile in the States. The lands of the
grant accrued to the company, and
were patented to it by the Government
as rapidly as the road was completed,
in twenty-five mile sections, and accept
ed by the President of the United
States. On the completion of the main
line and chartered branch the company's
grant was to average about $4,000 acres
per mile of track, and the aggregate
amount of land covered by the grant was
between fifty and sixty million acres.
The charter further granted to the COM
pany free right of way for the road and
telegraph line through the public do
main to the extent of 400 feet in width,
and all necessary ground for stations,
buildings, work shops, ,depots, machines,
switches, side-tracks, turntables and
water stations /; also, the right to take
from the public lad adjacent to the line
earth, stone and timber for construction.
The land grant embraces as rich mineral
deposits as are to be found on the con-
tinent, consisting of gold, silver, plati-
mum, lead, copper, tin, iron, rock salt
and coal. There were ample supplies
of timber for the construction of the
road, which traverses in Minnesota
alone hundred miles of forest. Phila-

COrsets Defended.

We know perfectly well that some
persons lace themselves too tight, al
though it is not at present fashionable
to do so. We know, too, that many
women have seriously injured their
health, while some have sacrificed life
itself on the shrine of slender waist.
But the wearing of the corset does not
necessarily, and, in fact, does not COM
monty, end in tight lacing while lacing,
and that, too, of very hurtful sort,
may be, and frequently is, accomplished
without the use of corset at all. We
have seen mems clothes worn as tightly
as any corset ever was. The condemna-
tion of tight lacing is perfectly just, of
course, as everybody having the small
est knowledge of anatomy knows. But
many women who never lace wear cor
sets, and derive great benefit from their
use. 1t is certainly very absurd to de-
mand that these people shall forego q
comfort-givlng article of apparel merely
because they could turn it into an in
strument of torture if they were fools.
They find that to put the entire weight
of their clothing upon their shoulders is
to give themselves pain, and in order to
divide it they let part of their apparel
depend upon their hips for support.
To do this without corset it would be
necessary to wear the garments alto
gether tighter about the waist than they
should be worn, and to bind them
around a single narrow zone, which
would be both uncomfortable and un.
wise. The corset, however, distributes
both the weight and the pressure ovel
the strong muscles of the hips, and, as
it is less yielding than the flesh, it obvi
ates the necessity of tight Wristbands
altogether. The corset, properly used
in other words, furnishes the very best
remedy for tight lacing, particularly
now that taper waists have gone out o.
fashion. .-HearM and Home.

The Mangel WurzeI.

Mr.. Dey, of Wisconsin, recently said:
"The mangel wurzel beet l think the
best of all roots. 1t will take nearly
four pounds of seed to SOW an acre in
drills, and there can be raised from 600
to 800 bushels. 1 plant in rows or
drills two feet apart and cultivate with
horse. Last year 1 planted one-half
of an acre and raised 800 bushels. 1
think l would have had more had / not
ridged my ground. am done ridging
for good crops. Iplanted three. kinds,
the yellow globe, white sugar and yel-
low vooid. l think the white sugar and
yellow globe the best. / think there is
no root that equals the beet for feed,
especially for milch cows. They cause
a great flow of milk, and there is no bad
flavor to the milk. They are excellent
for sheep that have lambs before the
grass starts in the spring and to any
farmer who has eighty acres of land
would recommend him to plant at least
two acres with roots which will cost but
little more than the same amount OF
corn and double the profit.
