CO., Our punctuality, this week

CO., Our punctuality, this week,
vas little behind time, reaching
here Monday at midnight, having
left New Orleans on Sunday noon, in
stead Of Saturday evening at five
o'clock, as usual. This delay was
oceasioned by some slight break of
some portion Of her machinery, which
had to be repaired. But now Rich
ard is himself again, and our Bart.
Able will hump herself and be on
time this day going down. She had
q fair up freight and was full of peo-
pie, and we trust she may have a
full load of Texas bulls down. Our
friend, G. c.. Hamilton, was ahead of
his time with the Democrat, and did
not permit the break to interfere with
his usual favors to our Journal, but
on the contrary had a larger and
more varied bundle of papers for us.

CONDITION OF PARTIES.


On this subject Col. McEnery de-
clares his conviction that the knife
of incision and severance has al
ready entered the Republican party.
The spirit Of internal unity is lost,
and the party now clings together on
ly through the force ofhabit and the
outward symbols of party organiza-
ton, while all within is in a state Of
separation and increasing antago-
nism. The finance question, the
question of civil rights and social
equality, the great and eirrepressible
issue raised by the producers at the
West, the rights and interests Of la
Dor, and the complications and cry
ing sins resulting from the policy Of
the Radical party toward the South,
all combined to weaken the thrall-

This morning Michael Russ and

come out on the front Gallery and

No rash judgments should be formed

a great fire broke out in y little Ger.

about eighty feet high, which formed n
part OF tho fortiicstion on ths town wall.
On tho summit n stork's nest had bsen
built for 30 many years that the b1ilding
had received the name Of Stork's Tower.
Al tho time of the fire there we're three
unaedged birds In the meet and the poor
little birds were IN danger. But the old
storks soon showed their love for their
young, for by turns they each flew of TO
some fsh-pond just Outside tho walls
here they took good dip in tho water,
and filled their beaks with as much AZ
they could carry away; then, notwith-
standing the smoke and flames, they few
back to their little ones, pouring the
water from their beaks over them and the
nest, and at the same time shaking 1t out
from their feathers. Thus, during the
whole day did these faithful birds act rs
a FIRE brigade till toward evening,
when all danger for tho young and most
was over.

Even in the presence Of political rev.

are ike the fig peddler. who. while the
hurricane was devastating CONSTANT
nopie. and the falling buildings were
crushing to death their flying inhabi-

name Of the Prophet! Figs" The
Rochester Record and Union of the Sd
inst. says:
The farmers of Olmsted county have
good cause to believe that they were not want
ed in the County Republican convention held
here to-day, from the fact that the call was
not published until last Saturday, just one
1cces before the conrcation 1rtzS held. And in
several parts Of the county the paper did not

II is worthy of notice that Minnesota
wheat is winning q distinctive reputa-
ton IN Europe, and that ali experiment
Is to be made the present season Of
shipping il thither direct via New
Orleans. The parties to this enter
prise are reported to be men With abil-
ny to make the experiment complete.
The claim that wheat can be carried
from St. Paul to New Orleans for 81
cents per bushel. while the present
rates from the Mississippi are As cents
per busacl. The rates from New Or
leans 10 Liverpool are the same as from
Kew York, leaving margin Of ii cents
per bl,shel IN favor Of the New Orleans
route. 1t is proposed by the parties
who try this experiment to handle only
Minnesota wheat; and it is intimated
that it is the only wheat that can be
safely experimental with in this man
ner, though it is not so asserted.

Another Suggestion to the Agricultu-
raj Department of the state Uni.
Vcr,ity.

Why not open correspondence
through the American Minister at St
Petersburg, Russia. with agricultural
and genealogical societies in that great
country. and import specimens Of all
their apple and other fruit trees
Would it not be better in this way to
increase the products of the surface OF
the earth in Minnesota than to publish
yolumiEons reports upon the kind of
snails and worms that lived fifty feet
below the present surface ten million
years ago? There is no ''trilobite" that
will compare in favor with irst-class
winter apple; and it isn't nearly as i'm
portant to learn how the ''Dikelocepha-
lus Miniskaensis lived in the '.argillo
calcareous and magnesio-calcareous
beds in the year one, as to learn how
we ourselves are to live comfortably in
this nineteenth century.
1t is well-known that in the so-called
temperate region of Russia, extend
