A MARROW EsCAPE.-On. Tuesday
morning as two of LaVaque's paint
ers, Joe Toll and M. j. Ridgeway
had hoisted themselves up on q scat
fold at Banning's opera house build
ing, nearly to the top, for the purpose
of painting the casing of the upper
windows, and just as they were about
to fasten the ropes, the scaffold upon
which they were standing gave way,
but as they still had hold Of the ropes
they managed to hang on and thereby
save themselves. It was very fortu-
nate that the scafold gave way just
when it did, for had it happened five
minutes later they would probably
have been at work and would I'M
doubtedly have fallen with it. Mr..
j. H. LaVaque was under the scafold
at the time, but was fortunate enough
to escape without injury, except to
catch the contents Of a bucket of
paint, which painted him from head
to foot.-Duluth Tribune.

it was true that Herod was obliged to

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Adopted ut Minneapolis, Sept. 10th, 1874

We, the representatives of the Republican
party of Minnesota, in State Convention as
sembled, do hereby adopt and declare the
following:
Resolved, That while reafhrming the prin-
ciples and renewing the pledges enunciated
and given by the Republican party in it's
last State and National Conventions, and
recognizing the ability and general fidelity
which have mnrked both State and nation
al administrations in the discharge of the
public trusts respectively committed to
them, we can point with especial pride to
the firm maintenance of our foreign rela-
tons upon the basis of justice and right,
and such as has secured respect and friend
ship abroad and peace and confidence at
home; the judicious enforcement of all
laws having for their object the protection
of all classes of our citizens both North and
South in their just, civil and political
rights, and the whole country against the
perils of instruction and new rebellion,
the preservation of the public faith and the
constant improvement OF the public credit;
the.reduction of the public debt and the
consequent removal of the burdens of tax
alton; the preservation of a sound currency
against any ruinous imitation inspired by
speculative interests, which may be hailed
rs a sure guarantee of the earliest possible
return to specie payment consistent with
the just rights of both the debtor and credi-
tor classes of our people; and above all
the constant vigilance manifested in hunt
ing out and exposing to public condemna-
ton delinquent officials and corruption in
office wherever and whenever found, re-
gardless of supposed party interests and
party relations, and the correction of all
abuses as fast as discovered its prompt re-
spouse to the popular demand by the repeal
of the Congressional salary bill and other
obnoxious legislation, and its readiness to
grapple with new issues growing out of the
relations of corporate power and produc-
tive industry by the inauguration Of meas
ures looking to the protection Of the latter
against all unjust encroachments of the for
mer, and by the opening up Of new and
cheaper channels Of communication by wa
ter between the granaries of the West and
the markets of the East, as sure guarantees
that the grand old party that saved the
country is still true to the principles that
gave it birth, in hearty sympathy with the
popular will able and willing to admins
ter the government in the interests of an
enlightened economy and just regard to
the public welfare, and is worthy the conf
dence and support of the people.
Resolved, That we heartily approve of the
action of Governor Davis in relation to the
prosecution Of the persons charged by the
fauding the school fund.

AMERICAN WoMEN.-It is a melan-
choly fact, that American women have
degenerated in point of health and ply
sique, until they have become literally
a race of invalids. How sad it is to
look around US and compare the frail
and effemiuate looking lady of to-day
with the hale, hearty and buxom ladies
of days gone by. To all such the late
discovery of DIR. Walker, of California,
which is known as Vinegar Bitters, is a
priceless boon indeed. For this class
of diseases it is certain and safe, and
any lady, old or young, can take it with
entire confidence in the result, and thus
avoid what to thousands is a stumbling
block never overcome, VIA consulta-
tim with family physician. IT'S true
there may be cases, of years standing,
that will necessitate more powerful
treatment, but in nine cases out of ten
this remedy will reach the disease, and
after little time effect a cure. The
number of ladies cured by it are num-
bered by thousands, and are scattered
through every state in the union.

The Chicago Illustrated magazine.

Hitherto the Aldine Magazine of New York
has enjoyed the distinction of being the hand
soonest periodical in the country If not in the
world; but it has encountered rival il, the
Gu cago Illustrated Magazine. The latter pub.
ication is, beyond all question, the most eIe-
gantly printed illustrated magazine that has
ever been issued in the west, or anywhere
else, with the exception, perhaps, of the pub
LEGATION above referred to, and we pron0uce
it equal in every respect to that splendid work
of art. Higher praise than this it is impossi-
BILE to bestow for every one who has ever seen
the Aldine has seen the perfection Of typo
graphic art. The same is true of the Chicago
Inustra' ed Magazine. If there is any superb
ority it belongs to the latter; and, being q
western enterprise, it commends itself directly
to western readers. It is published by the
American Publishing Company, of Chicago,
at the extremely low price of $3.50 year. A
volume of this splendid magazine will make a
book of greater literary and artistic excellence
than can be bought for many times the sub
scription price. Address THOMAS G. NEWMAN,
Room 81, Tribune building Chicago.

Breeding Swine.

It does not follow that because it is
profitable to make the greatest weight
of carcass for the butcher at ten
months, that it is also profitable to
breed from either sex at SO early an
age. We are aware that some excel
lent breeders advise that the SOW
should have her first litter at twelve
months; but eight months is too
young for the SOW to have acquired the
proper maturity to be coupled with the
boar, and the pigs in many such cases
are weak and puny. Nothing is really
gained by coupling before the sow is
ten to twelve months old. The pigs
will be much more valuable under the
latter plan.
ne believe that too early breeding
reduces the number of healthy pigs
reared, more than all the gain in time
is worth. From several reports we have
received from large breeders, four per
litter is a full average raised from this
early breeding, while if the SOW is al
lowed further to mature, six would be
the average in breeding upon large
scale. There is no doubt that the at
tention given to high feeding and early
maturity during the last few years has
rendered the SOW fit to breed earlier
than formerly, but there is danger OF
carrying this too far and thus weaken
ing the constitution.
1LOxr- ho,caf q GOOD Iroaf7pr
it is economy to keep her several years
as breeder, for the extra number OF
pigs she will rear will pay for the extra
feed. Great care should be used not to
give the SOW, while in pig, too much
concentrated food. The principal brood
is farrowed in spring, and consequently
the SOW is kept in doors during the win
ter, and she is too often fed almost
wholly on grain, which is apt to keeE
her in feverish and badly eonstipated
condition. This often causes the
pigs to be but poorly developed and too
puny to rear. She should be fed, as {
part of diet, upon roots-tu nips, beets
carrots-or other green and laxative fooG
when obtainab e, or, in lieu of these
upon second crop clover cut green, Of
upon nicely cured aftermath of timothy
or other fine grass, with her grain.
This is best if cut short and mixed il
small quantity with the meal and grain
But if none of these coarse foods are a
hand, then take bran and very littl
oil meal, and mix all into a slop witt
the grain to be fed. This will keep tn
bowels of the breeding SOW in nearl
the same condition AS on grass. Thi
latter diet, continued after she has far
rowed, will cause a good flow of milk
and not too rich. The same attentio
should be given to the SOW, while suck
ling pigs, as to COW from which 20
desire a good flow of milk-feed he
abundantly upon good, nourishing food

AN AMERICAN FossIL SKULL.-A
strange discovery, interesting to geolo-
gists, is reported by the Usage Mission
KAN Journal. A human skull was
recently found near that place imbeded
in a solid rock which was broken open
by blasting. DR.. Verify of Usage Mis-
sion compared it with a modern skull
which he had in his office, and found
that, though it resembled the latter in
the general shape, it was an inch and a
quarter larger in greatest diameter, and
much better developed in some other
particulars. He says of the relic: cit
is that of the Uranium of the human
species, of large size, imbedded in con-
giomerate rock of the tertiary class.
and found several feet beneath the sur
face. Parts of the frontal, paraetal and
occipital ones were carried away by ex-
plosion. The piece of rock holding the
remains weighs some forty or fifty
pounds, with many impressions of ma
rine shells, and through it runs a vein
of quartz, or within the Uranium crys-
talized organic matter, and by the aid
of a microscope presents n beautiful az
pearance." Neither Lyell nor Hugh

The German Military.

Anybody that loves the military will
get his fill Of it in Germany. The huge
casernes which mark every city, the
prevalence of uniforms, the iingling of
spurs and swords in every public room,
the drills and parades, the sentinels, re-
mind you that you are among the most
successful warriors of modern times.
The people grumble increasingly at the
memorable service, but are most proud of
its results and the great king who inaugu-
rates it. The three years discipline, with
the opportunity afforded to reduce them
to one by previous study, is an excellent
education for most. Many who would
go stupid and thoughtless all their
days are awakened to a pretty &c
tive sense of existence and its require
ments when an inspector gets hold of
them. The penalties for any breach of
discipline are sure, swift, and severe.
A rusty button or spot of mud means
repentance in the guard-house, and in
consequence you see no such dlngy SOL
diers as those in France. The men
learn not only how to handle arms and
ride horseback, but by system of free
gymnastics to use every joint and mus
Gle in the body. The officers are I'M
doubtedly selected with some view to
size-many of them tremendous fellows
and go to convince you that the old
race of giants, who lived here in former
times, is not all dead yet.
