ZENITH PROSpEHYS

NJ. c. Russell, editor of the Brain
erd (Mlnn.) Tribune, visited the un-
salted village across the bay the
other day, and fell among the real
estate agents, and the way they
gang-sawed him with Zenith statis-
ties, is pleasantly told as follows:
While talking and walking together on Su-
perior street, Just north of 18th avenue east.
and west of the fifteenth principal boulevard
south, he nervously grappled Us by che coat
collar and faced us to the north: his bearing
was that of determined energy, as he held us
firmly in position with one hand. and with
the other pointed aloft TO the breast of the
mountain on which the citv reclines saws he,

start, already, and only four years old see
away yonder, just degree west of Mars, at
that Alpine cot that rests only one corner on
the earth-the other three on tree tops; what
do you suppose lots are worth there, even ?''
We guessed several times, falling "a dollar
each time, and our last guess was a dollar,
even. Our friend grew nervous, and the per-
spiration stood in glttering dew drops upon
his forehead as he exclaimed, "Do not Jest,
sir sir!-twenty dollars per foot front, and "A
year hence will be worth three times as
n,uch' We asked which was front-the TOP
or bottom. He coughed just then, and
" missed" the interrogatory. And again, y
said he, turning US sharply about, "look at
that harbor that dixie those dock-them

competitor, Superior City. Very soon our

such manner as not only to benefit them

THE BRULE COPPER NINE.

Explorations were made years ago along
the south shore range to the extreme head of
the Lake, developing the presence of copper
at several points within few miles of Supe-
ror One of these points was on the Brule
river, about twenty miles down the south
shore in Sec. -, Town 4S, Range 10.
Capt. Petheric, the celebrated mining ex-
pert. whom many of our readers will remem-
Der, long since decided that the point in
question promised first class copper pro-
dueton, and steps have recently been taken
by the cnterprising Gen. Geo b. Sargent of
Duluth, toward the immediate opening of a

LAND GRANT MORALITY.
The following queer construction
of human rights is from the Chippe-
wa HernM of the 18th:

Well, il those are your sentiments, any
thing that can be done in this section towards
twisting the grant into door nail, will be
promptly attended to. Such arrant selfish
ness ought to be gratifed
You can't do any more in the door
nail business than you have done al
ready, Mr.. Chippewa If the Saint
Croix Valley is to be charged with
"arrant selfshnessI for wishing the
use of her own property, what shall
the action of the Chippewa Valley
be styled, who takes property with
out the consent of the owner, and
threatens to destroy it when re-
claimed?

PAUL Dc PA CIFIC AND ST
CROLX L4ND GRANTS BEFORE
TONG PESS

CROLI LIND GRANTS BEFORE
CONGRESS.
The promised help of the Amster-
dam capitalists, or the furnishing
five millions Of dollars toward the
completion of the St Paul and Pa
cltic K. r., turns out to be a mere
possibility that they may do little
repairing on the portion already
finished. On the st. Vincent exten-
sion, there are yet nearly 20 miles
untouched by pick and shovel, and
over l30 miles on which there is not
yard of rail The Brainerd branch
has nearly 90 miles TO iron, and a
few yet to grade. And all this forty
odd miles of grading, and nearly
two hundred miles of track-laviug,
cannot be done in ninety days, or
before Dec. Sd, when the land grant
expires. Hence the St. Paul g Pa
cific land grant like that of the St.
CroiX aud Superior r. Il. viii be at
the mercy of Congress next winter,
and this is not the only parallel be
tween the grants.
There is about The same length Of
territory to be directly benefited by
the completion of this road, as by
the completion of The last road on
the st. Croix grant. Aud further
more, the portion of road already
completed on the latter grant, is not
only equal but greatly in excess of
the 40 miles completed on the St.
Paul d Pacific line. The West
Wisconsin X. X. alone has built 1876
miles on the grant. The La Crosse
road used a good part Of it. The
remaining portion is set apart for
the benefit Of the st. CroiX valley
a.
and the Lake Superior section OF
Wisconsin, and on this division of
the grant, | s miles has been In use
nearI V two wears. All things con-
sIdered, there is more reason for re-
newal Of the St. Croix than Of the
St. Paul and Pacific grant, certain
ly as much every way.
Some citizens Of Minnesota who
had opposed the St. Croix renewal,
may now have occasion to change
their views. Eastern bankers, and
perhaps Mr. Cooke himself, may find
that the renelcn Of q grant technic-
ally forfeited is only simple justice.
The whole country Will be able to
see now, how the absurd cry against
land grants has been perverted by
unscrupulous and sectional dema-
gogueS to initiate against the pros
perity of the whole northwest, and
of the whole country. We trust a
spasm of reason and justice, this
winter, will vindicate the Lower
House of Congress, from the strong
suspicion that it is controlled by
coterie of backwoods demagogues,
and prove to the nation that its vot-
ing majority are statesmen, who will
not keep the West wilderness, by
denying it railways once promised
and endowed by Representatives
that were statesmen indeed

A Word to the Wise.

In another place in our columnl
to-day will be found a communica
tion from Citizen" upon a ques
ton of vital Importance to thi,
city. There can be no denying the
fact that the high winds which fro.
qucntly prevail in this section,
scatters the sand 80 thiokly as to
DO disgusting, particularly to new.
corners who are seeking some place
whore all the advantages,and as fow
of tho disadvantages as possible,
attend living in Texas. Very many
good men have visited our oity,and
were delighted with tho animated
enterprise and thrift of our people,
but unwilling to endure the disa-
groablo consequences Of sand and
wind, and for that reason alone
have moved off westward. The
city fathers can certainly do some
thing to grade and better the con-
dition of the leading streets at least,
and We hope they may do so at
once. The necessity for action on
this subject certainly exists.

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH CUR
DAUGHTERS

Apropos of Mrs. LivermOre's late
lecture on the above important ques-
ton, the Davenport Democrat thus
scnsibly makes answer:
Peach them self-reliance.
Teach them to foot up store bills.
Teach them not to wear false hair.
Teach them not to paint and pow
der.
Teach them to wear thick, warm
shoes.
Teach them how to wash and iron
clothes.
Teach them how to make their own
clothes.
Teach them how to make their own
dresses.
Teach them how to do marketing
for the family.
Teach them how to cook a good
meal of victuals.
Teach them every day, hard, practi-
cal common sense.
Teach them how to darn stockings
and sew on buttons.
Give them a good, substantial, COM
mOn-schOol education.
Teach them to say no, and mean it /;
or yes, and stick to it.
Teach them to regard the morals,
lot the money of the beauX.
Teach them to wear calico dresses
and do it like a queen.
Teach them all the mysteries of the
kitchen, the dining-room and the par
lor.
Teach them that a good, round, rosy
romp is worth fifty cOnsumptives.
Teach them to have nothing to do
with incorporate and dissolute young
men.
Teach them that the more one lives
beyond their income the nearer they
get to the poorhouse.
Rely upon it, that upon your teach
ing depends in a great measure the
veal or woe of their after life.
Teach them accomplishments-mu-
sic, painting, drawing-if' you have the
time and money TO 10 it with.
Teach them 90 climb apple trees, go
fishing, cultivate garden and drive a
road-team or farm wagon.
Teach them that God made them in
his own image, and that no amount of
tightlacing viii improve the model.
Teach them that a good, steady,
greasy mechanic without cent, is
worth dozen oily pated loafers in
broadcloth.
Teach them the essentials of life
truth. honesty, uprightness-then at a
suitable time let them marry.

THE TWILIGHT OF DEATH

eona. the honrs draw niph

Leona, the hours draw nigh,
The hour we've waited so long.
For the angelic omen the door through
That my spirit may break from It's prison
and try
Its voice in an infinite song.
Just now as the slumbers of night
Came DER me with peace giving
The cnrtsin half lifted. revealed to my
sight
Those windows which look on the king
dom light,
That borders the river of death.
A vision fell solemn and sweet,
Bringing CLEANS of morning-lit
land;
Isaw the white shore which the pale waters
beat.
And heard The low lull as they broke at
their feet,
Who walked on the beautiful strand.
And wonder why spirits should cling
Totheir clay with a struggle and sigh
When lffe's purple autumn is better than
And the soul dies away like a sparrow to
In a Cline where leaves neyerdle.
Leona, come close to my bed,
And lay your dear hand on my brow;
The same touch that thrilled me in days
that are fed. 4st =
And raised thelost roses ofyouth from the
Can brighten the brief moment now.
We have loved from the cold world
apart,
And your trust was too generous and
true
For their hate TO overthrow; when the
slanderer's dart
Was ranking in my desolate heart,
was dearer than ever to you.
thank the Crest Father for this,
That our love is not layished in vain;
Each germ, in the future, will blossom to
bliss,
And the forms that we love and the lips
that We kiss,
Never shrink at the shadow of pain.
By the light of this faith am taught
That my labor is only begun;
In the strength Of this hope have strug-
gled and fought,
With the legiens OF wrong till my armor
The CLEAN OF Eternity's sun.
Leona, look forth and behold,
From headland, from hillside and
The day king surrenders his banners of
gold,
And twilight advances through woodland
And dews are beginning to weep.
The moon's silver hair lies uncurled,
Down the broad breasted mountains
away;
Eresunset's red glories again shall be furled
On the walls of the west, DER the plains of
the world,
l shall rise in a limitlessday.
Igo, but weep not DER my tomb,
Nor plant with frail flowers the sod
There is rest among roses too sweet for its
gloom
And life where lilies eternally bloom
Inthe Misunderstanding gardens TO God.
Yet deeply these memories burn,
Which bind me TO you and to earth,
And have sometimes thought that my be-
ing would yearn
In the bowers of its beautiful home to re-
turn,
And revisit the home of its birth.
'Twould even be pleasant to stay,
And walk by your side to the last:
But the land-breeze of heaven is beginning
TO play
Life's shadow are meeting Eternity's day,
And its tumult is hushed in the past.
Leona, good bye. should the grief
That is gathering now, ever be
Too dark for your faith, you will long for
relief
And remember, the journey, though lone
some, is brief.
Over Iowland and river to me.
