a friendly people, all combine to make
II a most desirable post for the searcher
for health. To open this delightful island
totbose who may be benefited by so
iourn there, an enterprising merchant
Of Christiansted has, in connection with
others, purchased for the accommoda-
ton of boarders the beautiful estate
called "Bulow's Minda" 1t was for
merly the residence of two Of the Col
onial Governors. It is located some
two miles from Government house In
Christiansted, situated on high hill,
and commanding one Of the most varied
aud extensive viewsto be seen anywhere.
The buildings are large, well built in
good order, fine stables, delightful walks,
in fact everything which can make a
life there of four or six. months perfectly
enjoyable
There are also several fine estates hav.
ing large and comfortable houses, where
private families are glad to take lin
tied number OF boarders, and where
strangers have assured US they never
Jared better or enjoyed themselves more.
Such board can he had for the compara-
lively low price Of $40 to $l4 per week.
There is an excellent hotel near the
landing, where persons can go to refresh
themselves; and if they do not wish to
remain the gentlemanly landlord Will
Give all requisite information. There IS
likewise hoRse near the fort, kept by a
lady, and some private families IN the
town receive strangers occasionally.
The Government House and banks are
located at Christiansted, and it may be
of some interest to know that the agents
of this branch of the English Colonial
Bank are Messrs. Maitland, Phelps Il
Co of New York. All who seek this
lovely island in search of health will
never regret it. If they try it a Health
Seeker believes they will try it again.

Turkish malrImoniaI troubles.


A letter from Constantinople to the
Montreal Gazettee written on the 10Th OF
July last, says:
A great scandal is at this moment the
common theme of conversation in both
native and European society. The wife
of Hail Scherif Pasha, nee Princess
Nazil of Egypt, niece of the khedive,
and daughter Of the Mustapha Fazyl
Pasha, has just separated herself from
her husband, after short married lie
Of fourteen months. This beautiful and
accomplished lady is one of the very
few Turkish women who have received a
good education. Brought up in the soci-
ETY. of most accomplished English lady,
she is thoroughly conversant with Eng
lish and French, speaking both 'an-
guages Anently, and possessing very
respectable knowledge of the literature
OF the two great Western nations. She
is, besides, a good musician, and alto
gether a clever woman. Her father, like
all the descendants of the great Mehemet
Ali Of Egypt is most enlightened
man, and has given his three daugh'
ters thoroughly European education.
But behold the result This lady is too
intelligent for purely Mussulman hus-
band-too delicately- minded to be
merely the chief of harem. And the
marriage which, it was trumpeted
abroad, would have an immense inhu-
ence on Turkish female society, has in
so short time come to naught. Very
lately the Princess dined with Lady FL.
liott, the wife of the British Ambassador
at the British Embassey, the first Mus
sulman woman who had ever entered
ard dined there. Her influence Joined
to that of her sisters and few other
Turkish ladies', was really having most
beneficial effect on the domestic life of
many of the higher Turkish families,
when unfortunately all has been with
cred in the bud, for her husbands con-
duct (although he is Turkish Minister
for Foreign affairs, and has passed much
of his time in Paris became so bad that
human nature could endure no more,
her sense of propriety being offended
every day. 1t was impossible for an
intelligent pure.minded woman to live
long with him, and she was compelled
to return to her fathers house, where
she now lies dangerously i'll. Her
father, as we'll as her uncle, are dread
fully scandalized, and for this reason the
latter did not come to Constantinople
lately, as has always been his custom at
the Sutan's fete. No doubt steps will
be taken in some way or other to punish
any individual whom they imagined
they we're honoring by their alliance.
The mother of the Khedive, with great
retinue, came last week to Constantino-
pie from Egypt, and her granddaughter,
i'll as she was, went to throw herself at
her feet demanding justice at her hands.
As this old ledy is a parsonage by no
means lacking in intelligence, and has,
besides, the reputation of being rather
revengeful, she will doubtless use all
her influence at the imperial court,
which is very great, to bring about a
change in the life of her granddaugh-
teri late husband, the latter having al
ready taken unto himself another wife,
and added generally to the increase Of
his already ample harem."

We publish this week the advert ismn.nt
Of two Mill Sites for sale n, Cannon Falls.
One of these sites has a building upon i,
and is already for the machinery of the
Mill. Cannon Falls is one Of our most
promising inland towns. 1t is situated in
the midst Of one of the finest agricultural
sections Of the State, has splendid water
power, and is in the prospect line Of the
Iowa Central K. Il. The survey OF this
road passes very near the site Of the larg-
er Of these two mill sites this one is sit
uatcd on the Big Cannon River and is Il
little above the present village, the other is
on ,hc Little Cannon and is inside the town.
il will be seen by reference to the Stats
tics that Goodhue County has produced
about onc-tcnth Of the wheat product Of :he
State in the past. with an area Of acres un-
improved sufficient to increase tn. amount
100000 bushels. This statement will give
some idea of the capacity Of the res( af the
State. large portion Of our territory
cast of the Mississippi river IS better
adapted to grazing as also smaller amount
on the west side; but from our knowledge
Of the State, we consider ourselves under
the mark when We say that the wheat area
of our State is good for an annual average
excess Of the cereal over home demand of
$4,000, 900 bushels. probably 4 100, ,000. 600
would be nearer the truth. The product
Of 1872 was $4,000, 900; this year 1873 J
It will in all probability reach $4,000, 600
TO 28, ,OOO,0 900. All who are conversant with
our State, can see that our estimate is a
reasonable one.

"tde addition, &C., &c.
The beauty of the location of Red Wing
mas ever been the theme Of comment BY. the
visitor, or even tho passing tourist The
plateau upon which the city is mostly built,
is about forty feet above the river, and is
entirely surrounded by high hills or bluffs
except on the side next the river. Barn
Bluff stands at the lower end of the town
like some tall sentinel, landmark far
away; then follows College Bluff, Twin
Bluffs, and several other nameless bluffs,
: hat form sort of so mi i-circle from the river
above the city to tAe river below, and the
city lies here in this curious lap of the
bluffs.
Red Wing is supposed to have been the
favored lover of the beautiful wcppnak, of
The maiden rock legend, and who ne ker We'd
dcd any Of the dusky maidens, but kep( his
energies to the arts of war, and of the
, chase.
The original village Of Red Wing was laid
out in 1882, the first hotel was built in
1858 and was named the :: Red Wing House,
This hotel has become noted in fiction as
the startingpoint Of Eggleston's Metropolis
vile under the name Of Red Owl House,
as has the city under the name of
'"Red OWL The growth of the city has
been so great that there have been added
TO the original plat over thirty additions
and subdivisions. Among the most recent
and important additions arc the Institute
Addition and South Side Addition. The In
stitute Addition is situated upon an emf
Dencc overlooking the business part of the
city and commanding most beautiful view
o' the scenery of the Mississippi river. OF
this very scenery an English writer who
visited 1t few years ago, says: " 1t IS one
OF the few finest and grandest he had seen
IN his extensive travels in different parts Of
The world.' The proprietors Of this addi
t1on arc Capt. Edward Murphy of Minneap-
: Oils, and ". p Hood, of this city. In this
addition is situated the Red Wing Collegiate
Institute and the addition affords some most
beautiful and mafnifcent sites for resi-
dences. Adjoining this addition is the
South Side addition which has inst been
plated; it contains seventy blocks of ten
lots each.

ST. LOUIS.
Interesting TO SteambOatmen

ST. Louis, July IA suit which will
attract the attention Of all stcamboatmcn
in the West, especially those of the upper
Mississippi river, was filed i'll the United
States Circuit Court to-day by Richard
{. Gray, of Pittsburgh. The petition re-
cites that little over one year ago what
were known aS the Kcokuk Packet Com
punv. the Northern Line Packet Com
pauv and the Northwestern Union Pack
ct Company consolidated for mutual
benefit under the name of the kcokuk and
Northern Line Packet Company. The
said consolidation sgrced not to sell or
dispose of their stock without first offer
ing it to the company. Soon
after the death of Jas. VI. McCuc
president and large stakeholder of the
company, his stock amounting to over
$1,000 shares was transferred TO VIM +.
Davidson another stakeholder and for
mcrlvthc head oftnc Northwestern Union
Company by Napoleon Mulliken and
Samuel y. Halliday administrators of
McCune's estate, in alleged violation Of
the agreement referred to. This threw
the contract of the company into the
hands of Davidson and dS the plaintiff
alleges damaged his interest in the COM
panv to the amount of thirty thousand
dollars: he therefore sues Mullikcn and
Holiday for that amount and costs
Similar suits will probably be entered by
other stockholders.

NASHVILLE, July IA Union and
Americam Tullahoma, Tennessee, special
of the 10th says: Early this morning
Coroner Morgan was informed that the
body of man had been found on the
roadside opposite the house of j. l..
Matlaw, half mile east Of Lynchburg,
Tennessee. He Immediately summoned
Il Jury, and on going to the spot it was
found to be James p Everett, deputy
United States marshal, appointed short
time since as the successor of Hildreth,
who was recently killed near HillSboro.
Upon examination it was found two pistol
balls had entered his skull just back of
the left ear, and very close to each other.
The end of his left thumb was also shot
off. Nothing appears to afford a clue
n to who did the deed The jury gave
aS their verdict that he came to his death
bv pistol shot fired by an unknown
party. Everett was in Lynnchburg late
Yesterday evening, and when he left he
was drunk. He is supposed To have
been so intoxicated a to have fallen off
his horse, and was evidently in helpless
condition when killed. 1t receives the
unanimous condemnation of our people,
and they will give every assistance in
their power to bring the guilty party to
justice.

The Rain and the Crops.

The rain Of Tuesday and Wednesday
has produced decided change IN th
prospective yield Of the corn-crOp as
we'll A. Of oats and potatoes, all Ol which
have been suffering, or have been i'm
psriled by the long drOuth. In the cen
trAl part Of the Stat, the peculiar corn
planting district,-tbe droUtb had been
unprecedented, and the rainfall Of nine
hour on Tuesday vas welcomed uniycr-
sally By the people, who had feared a Io-s
Of ftheir harvest. The rain extended over
all the corn-growing districts Of Illinois,
Indiana, WiscOnsin, and Iowa, but did
not extend 10 Kansas. II l. possible that
Yesterday that region was AlsO visited by
the welcome shower. The rain has had
the effect Of Oyerturning the speculAtOrs,
who were buying corn for future delivery
upon the assumptiOn that the drOuih
would continue and the crop b. light or
a failure. No Orders have Deen received
On that account since the storm u Tuesday
night. II may now b. considered that
the corn has bern saved, and that the
early anticpatiOns Ofa large crop will
b. realized. When il is considered that
the rainfall was ~ much needed for potA-
tOes, oats, and grass n il was for corn, tho
commercial value ofthe change Of weather
and the difference in profits TO the farmers
Of hAlf-s-dOzen Northwestern States, can
be estimated only BY millions ofdollars.
Never Was rain more needed, and never
was the blessing more gratefully received.
