Our townsman, w. Minor Rob

Pacific road, whose admirable re-
ports on the practicability Of the

health of its climate, have been fully

other distinguished military men,

Aside from the political and COM
mercial views regarding the neces-
sity of government aid in compile

Two American Magazines.

The excellence Of American Magazines has
become so well recognized abroad, that one
of the leading English Papers, the London
Weekly Register, in recent issue, thus
speaks of Scribners Monthly:
ave are constrained to oacn that Scri6a,e,'s
Monthly carries off the prize against all oar
shilling monthly serials for 6riUiancy of Il'ls-
tratioms and variety of contents 1t is simply
a soonderfaa shiAnag's ,uorth. Nothing can be
more charming than the cuts-f'M of force and
cigor the light and shade are managed Nth a
truly artistic potcer. Ont of its one and t'ce,,ty
original articles, really do not knoac ctieh to
choose as best, for each and all are ercellent"
Not only is it true that Scribner's Monthly
excels the English Magazines, but it is % The
Best of the American Monthlies."
In the extent, variety and artistic excel
lence of its illustration of American themes,
it has never been even approached, much less
excefled. 1t has larger page and gives a
greater variety in its contents than any other
of the Standard American Monthlies.
In literary character, and in the briliancv
and ability of it's Editorial Departments, it
enjoys an equal pre-eminence.
Its conductors started with the definite
aim of making it tie best magazine IN the
aCorld, of which they have never for a mo-
and pleasure to the MAY and June plumbers,
recently issued, and ask for them a candid
examination and careful comparison of
their merits with those of other magazines;
and they renew their pledge to the public, to
strive for still higher excellence in the future
A considerable demand has recently arisen
in England for ST. Nicholas, Scribner's New
Magazine for BOYS and Girls, one publisher
i 1r.n .tif of hFpQ hnn
sand of the first bound volume (when COM
pleted), with his imprint.
The success of St. Nicholas in this country
has been even more remarkable than that of
Scribner's Monthly. 1t is pronounced to be
I" an ideally perfect Magazine for children"
and, as is the case with all the best litera-
ture for children, it has been found to possess
surprising interest for grown up readers, as
well.
The influence of the periodicals of the day
can scarcely be estimated, especially upon
the rising generation. Parents and teachers
cannot afford to be Indifferent to this influ-
ence, or careless in relation to the character
of the literature furnished to the children

seek information for themselves.

7. 1t will give what is greatly
needed, connection with the great
railway system of the Northwest.
The favorable report of the Sen
ate committee probably assures, if
nothing else, the defeat of the Hol-
man amendment TO the homestead
bill, which threw all lapsed railroad
grants into the general market.
PRESENT STATUS IN LAW.
If the bill fails in the House,
Judge Orton thinks our state will
hold the grant under the extension
act of 1864. The government re-
served no right Of forfeiture IN that
act, which abrogated the ori ginal
act Of 1856, except in the matter OF
adding fouc sections a mile to the
grant. The extension Of 1864 was
virtually new grant, ten sections
in width, without forfeiture. On
the strength of this act our state
won the decision in the
HARTMAN CASE,
which was tried in the United States
Courts at St. Paul a year ago last
summer
Hartman was state agent, under
the act of the Legislature, to take
care of the St. Croix lands. Some
Saltwater parties cut $4,000 worth
Of logs on the grant, which Harri-
man seized. Suit was brought
against Hartman as trespasser
Hartman testified that the lands
belonged to the state; that he was
state agent, and had a right to take
the logs. That raised the question,
I" Where is the fee simple since the
lapse of the grant in 1862"
Jadge Miller ana Dlllon, Doth
concurring, decided that the title
remained in the state, and would
continue to till the government took
some affirmative action to declare a
forfeiture. An appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court, where the case
is now pending. The Attorney
General concurs in the St. Paul de-
cision, and has no doubt Of its be-
ing sustained in the Supreme Court.
In any event, there is some show,
and if the Senate holds its present
temper, considerable hope for the
St. Croix Land Grant.

1t is rather singular fact that so
many of the editors of this city are
living in a state of bachelordom.
Bennett, the immensely rich editor
and proprietor of the New York
Herald, is a solitary bachelor,
though he will soon be 40. Reid,
The editor Of the Tribune, is a soli-
cary bachelor, though he is some
where about 40. Marble, the editor
of the World, is solitary widower
of 40; and his most brilliant staff
writer, Hurlbut, is a solitary bache-
lor. Bundy, the editor of the Mail,
is a solitary bachelor, though over
40. Congdon, Of the Tribune, is a
solitary widower of over so, and, in
fact, on the daily press alone | could
certainly name score of leading
men who are about 40 and wifeless.
Of the editors named, Bennett is
the wealthiest and most athletic :;
Reid is the ablest and most skillful; !;
Marble is the handsomest and calm
est; and Hulbut is the most thor
oughly polished man of the world.

maiden ladies looking forward to
matrimonial bliss to avoid these
bachelor editors, because presume
such warning will send scores of
these maidens in pursuit of them.
| wonder that some of them do not
find wives among the intellectual
ladies who write for their papers, or
try to write for them. Such unions
might be expected to provide very
brainy successors to the present ed
itors In the natural order.

WHERE OUR TIMBER GoEs.-It
is estimated that the number of rail-
road ties In present use in the Uni
ted States is l5o,O0o,oOo. A cut of
200 ties to the acre is above the ay-
erage; and it therefore has required
the product Of 1900 acres Of we'll
timbered land to furnish the supply.
Railroad ties last about five years
3O,000,000 ties are used annually for
repairs, taking the timber from l5O.-
600 acres. The manufacture of roll
ing stock disposes of the entire yield
of 100000 acres, and full supply
of 100000 acres more every year.
Our railroads are stripping the coun-
try at the rate of 100000 acres per
annum -Neac York Erpress.

can penetrate the future, New Rich
mond's course is clear for, a contin-
ued growth and development which
bids fair to be as abiding as the
rich and beautiful tract of farming

Take the railroad away from US,

better and larger town here than we
have at present. Look on any side

CoMNG.-We have always had
great faith that the building of a
railroad from here to Lake Superior
would result in substantial advanta-
ges to this city. Our opinion is
unchanged. While we do not ex-
pect to see any marked improve
ments at once, they are sure to
come. The advantages of this city
as commercial and manufacturing
point, are bound to be improved.
Already we have had two letters
from eastern gentlemen who pro-
pose to come here this season with
view of going into business. We
hear of others also who are coming,
and we believe that before the road
is completed, Hudson will take a
fresh start toward prosperity.
But we started this item to say
that Mr.. ii. Borschenius, a promi-
nent gentleman of Madison was in
the city, and had made arrange
ments to locate here, and will bring
his family in few days. Mr. Bor-
schenius is widely known through
out the State, as ali intelligent and
accomplished gentleman, and an en-
terprising business man. All such
men are welcome to Hudson.

THE ST, CROIY LAND TR4

THE ST CROLX LAND GRANT.
From State journal, Madison 27th
The bill renewing the St. Croix
Land Grant, passed the United
States Senate yesterday morning.
The following dispatch tells the
story:
Washington, May 81, 1874
Messrs. Atwood & Culver: The bill re-
newing the st. Croix Land Grant passed the
Senate this seorning. E. W. KEYES.
This is good news, and will be
cheering to the people in the north
western portion of our State, who
are looking with confidence for a
railroad, for which they have wait
ed long and patiently. The work
goes bravely on. We trust this bill
may pass the House before adjourn
ment.
Correspondence of the Milwaukee Sentinel,
Washington May 5th.
Senator Howe's bill for six years
extension of the St. Croix Land
Grant has had a favorable report
from the Public Lands Committee
in the Senate. The same bill was
introduced by Mr.. McDill in the
House, yesterday, and was referred
for safe keeping to the Public Lands
Committee. The chances of the bill
are considered good in the Senate,
aud Mr.. McDill ventures to express
the hope that it may get a majority,
or close to it, in the House, if vote
is reached upon it. Judge Orton's
argument before the Senate COM
mittee, if we may judge by their re-
port, has borne good fruit. The
Judge made some strong points for
the extension, which may be con-
densed as follows:
/. The government has sold many
of the alternate reserved sections
for $3.50 an acre.
>. 1t will give value to the Supe-
rior harbor
3. The St Croix country must
remain waste without the road.
4. School lands up that way are
consequently worthless.
3. Superior and Bayfield, people
want it,
6. The state has protected the
grant for a long time from waste
and trespass, and has vital inter-
est in the building of the road.
