That Land Grant.

AS we predicted, the leading cause of
excitement in our present Legislature is
the old Superior Il st. Croix Land
Grant. Messrs. Baldwin & Humbird,
the present proprietors of the West
Wisconsin, have thrown in q bid for it,
and among other things, they propose
to build road from George Martins
farm, three miles from Hudson, to River
Falls. Lord help us! and coed Lord
deliver us from the hands Of any such
benefactors! IF we are to be hitched
on to the tale end of that kite, to be
snapped off at pleasure, may heaven
protect us!
But we renew our proposition to give
that grant to the Milwaukee & St.
Paul Company, which will, in that
event, build the road from the river via
this village, to Lake Superior. THIS
looks more like business for Vi, as well
as for every body else concerned.

Too Many Points.

We don't believe that any railroad
company under heaven will run a rail
road to every nook and corner of the
St. Oroix Valley. And now what is
the use of futtering around like q
hesaless hen and reporting any such
twaddle. We don't believe that any
company will build road from Pres
colt and Red Wing both, to connect or
cross at this village. Neither do we
believe that any company will build a
road from this village direct to New
Richmond, and also to Hudson. Hence
we recommend the sober, second
thought upon this railroad question:
We recommend the use Of reasonable
amount of common sense; and we de-
precate any hasty action. Hold the
horses few moments, lest the epizootic
should attack them in your sudden
fight, and leave you to freeze in snow
bank. Do not 60 crazy on this project
or that one, but take little time to
consider before you launch out.

A LEADING article in this weeks is
she of the St Croix Republican, hardly
characteristic OF the editor, comments on
the Land Grant bill in this wise:
by the timely efforts Of Mr. Bald
win and an association of St. Paul gen
tlemen, this disputed grant was saved 10
the State by the completion Of the 6rst
section of the North Wisconsin, and
now 10 rob the company and the cities
that have dore so much for this section
would be great injustice" The
writer thereof was either ignorant of
the nature and terms Of the grant, and
the right By which it is nov claimed
by the State. or he affirmed what he
knew to be false. The completion of the
fret section of the North Wisconsin had
no more to do with securing the grant

IT is idle to tell rs that Messrs

it would be clearly against their inter.

THB second section of the Railroad
bill introduced by Senator Irish, reads
as follows:
"The North Wisconsin shall, within
six years from the passage of this act,
complete said road from point oppo.
site Red Wing, Minnesota, or from the
city of Prescott, Wisconsin, said points
both being between said townships
twenty-five and thirty one, named IN
said acts of Congress, and shall, on or
before the first day of January. 1874,
construct, complete aud put in opera
ton, said road from the Western term
linus thereof, RS now constructed to the
village of River Falls, Pierce county.
Wisconsin" a.
That section is carefully drawn, and
provides that the company shall con
struct the road TO the village of River
Falls, Int not tarther. Now mark how
palma tale, from point opposite to
Red Wing, Minnesota, or from Pres.
colt, Wisconsin" There is 40 arlbig-
uity in that, but very little "chear
humbug" River Falls is point op-
posite to Red Wing, and "between said
townships twenty-five and thirty-one."
In common parlance, that is trick
with hole in it.

w nav hNSNA'N@ NNS nANN@
ness Of Senator Irish, copy of the bill
introduced by him, giving the Superior
Land Grant to the North Wisconsin
Railway. This bill provides for the
building of a road from Richmond to
Superior City and to Bayfield,. 1t pro-
vides for building road from Geo
Martins warehouse to River Falls
within one year. It's peculiar provision
consists in exempting from taxation, the
lands given to build the road, for tie n
years after the road is completed. This
last provision is an outrage on the tax
payers of the state; the lands TO be Civ
en- away are already sufficiently valus-
BILE to build twice the required amour;
of road. The opening of Railroad
through said lands will augment their
value immeasurably. What more in
all conscience can any corporatioo... ask
than this munifcee..s grant? Yet this
lean ant. soulless skeleton demands not
only sufficient to fstten its ribs to
obesity, but also begs an exemption
from all public burden for long term
Of years. Are the people Of this sec
ton (the most vitality interested ready
and willing to confer the grant on n
corporation that asks with shameless,
greed more than the forty thieves dared
steal!
The second section is vague, and
leaves the southern terminus of the
road az gloriously uncertain as words
can make it. But if, as many legal men
believe, and as the attorney Of the North
Wisconsin Railroad AYERS, the state has
-ot the power to compel the said Rail-
way to build south of its present termi
nus, why in the name of propriety
was such provision inserted in the
billy Was it to bride our people into
its support? Was il to gladden. our
hearts with promise never to be ful.
filed?
This bill we regard as an ingenious
device. We know not who drew it, but
it is smooth and adroit in its findings
as well as uncertain in some of its pro
visions.
We are inclined TO relieve the Hon
Senator from any completely in the
original design or draft of the bill, but
we can hardly pardon his oversight in
introducing it We are aware that he
is, to a certain extent, 10 the hands Of s
set of "sharpers," but this is no excuse
for carelessness on his part. lie must
not decide important questions upon an
ex psrte hearing.

The Hudson bay Company.

The Hudson Bay Company had, in
mn early day, nearly o monopoly Of the
trade Of tho horth-Sestefn Section, and
they wero as independent OF all tho
arts Of winning custom by obliging
manners as tho French merchants in
the days Of Mdliefe The store was
shit up three hours in the misdle .ot
the day for dinner, and the customers
roasted in the sun outside until it
opened. A clerk throws tho desired
goods at q purchaser and seizes his
money abruptly. No wrapping.paper
is furnished, but each customer brings
large colored handkerchief for ten,
another for sugar, and so on. Only ono
quality Of tea Is sold; but that is good.
A certain number OF chests are opened
every morning. Ifthey should be emp.
tied by noon none will be opened until
the next morning, though some custom
ers may have come twenty miles TO buy
tea,
The commerce Of the settlement in
that day was carried on by means Of
carts, To which were hitched single oxen
or ponies. The same carts arc used now
on the hunt. These carts are made
without metal; the wheels are tired with
deer-thongs. The long trains Of sever.
al hundred carts, with great cumbrous
wheels, arc strangely gortesque. In the
winter this gives way to dog.sledges.
Such dogsl 1trembled at sight Of them,
until I found that they were not given
to biting. One man kept twenty.four
Of thees m6nstrous dog.horses.
In the olden time, before commune
cation was opened through ST. Paul, the
mail reached the settlement Just once
inbix months, by way ofHudson's Bay.
One enthusiastic resident took the Lon

Just one paper, and thus kept up the
sensation Of having fresh news every
day. He would lay down his paper in
the midst Of battle and save tho rest
until the next morning. He was nearly
a year behind tho world, but that did
not matter The news was fresh to him.

DO the most ruthless and extortionate
ever known in that country. Her hus-
band, having been killedin n fight with
the gensd'armes, she swore to avengo
him, and for that purpose accepted the
leadership Of his band. Maria was ar
rested short time since and sentenced
to thirty years imprisonment, but hav-
ing fascinated her iailcr he connived at
her escape, on condition that she would
marry him. This shc promised to do;
but no sooner had they reached her
band than the warden was stabbed to
death by her orders. Since the escape
Of their leader the band has grown more
daring than ever, and so cruel is the
leader known to be that the peasants
stand in terror Of her, and always give
her any information she asks.

A Long Journey.

The Hartford Courant relates the fol.
lowing story: "a young man, resident
in this city, who was recently in q city
beyond the Mississippi, found himself
possessed Of twenty-five cents and a
longing for home. Not being able TO
raise any more funds, ho stepped on
board a train Of cars bound for New
York. In timo he was met by the con-
duotor, but was unable TO pay him, and
was put of at the next station. Board.
ing tho first night train after that, ho
took of his shoes, aud when the con-
ductor questioned him his shoes were
not to DO found. Being kind hearted,
the conductor let him ride until he
found them, which was not at once. In
this way and by other shifts the young
fellow actually reached New York last
week. He was almost starved u death,
having eaten nothing but few crackers
all the way. On this arrival here he
learned TINT funds 10 enable him Ia
come in the ordinary fashion, without
so many changes Of trains, had been
sent TO him.
