Gov. Washburn's Great FIGURING
Mill at Minneapolis.

The Minnesota Farmers Union
gives the following description of the
mammoth Touring mill, built by ex-
Gov. q. c. Washburn, of Wisconsin at
Minneapolis, the motive power OF
which is furnished by the Mississip~
pi river, at st. Anthony Falls:
The Washburn flouring mill at
Minneapolis is one of the wonders
of this country. No where in the
United States or Canada is there any,
thing to compare with it in size,
while in the entire world there are
but one or two larger.
1t was begun in May last, and has
been pushed forward to completion
in less than year by an army OF
workmen. ct cost of $780, 600,
The builihsg is 100 by 1877 feet in
size built of blue limestone in courses,
and is six and one-haIf stories in
height, or ninety feet from ground to
roof.
1t contains forty run of stone,
driven By two fve-feet, polished
bronze wheels, manufactured in
Chicopee, Mass of $50 horse power
each, which cost with the excavation
in which they are set, $50, 900.
Some idea Of the water power in
Minneapolis may be gained from the
fact that the water which drives
them has head Of forty feet.
The stones are slicious quartz, and
were selected in France by Mr.,
George Ii. Christian, the superin-
tendent Of the mill, from the quar-
ries at La Ferte, near Paris, at
which place the best stones in the
world are found. Mr.. Christian
visited the leading milers of France
and Italy in search Of all the latest
improvements in making flour, and
purchased whatever Of value he
could find for the new mill at Min
neapolis.
OF course it grinds the "patent
flour" Mr.. Christian was the first
to introduce the method in this
country. The machinery for it was
placed in the first mill built here by
Mr.. Waehburn, in 1871, and has
now come into general use. The
new -four, as most of our readers
know, is made of the middlings.
The wheat is first ground course,
and then goes through the separator
which removes the bran ; then the
middIings, containing the gluten and
other nutritious properties, are
ground again, making more super
icr article of flour. To make the
best -four, it is necessary to grind the
wheat very slowly, and from four to
i've bushels an hour only are now
run through, in place Of from eight
TO twelve as formerly.
The mill is owned by Gen. G. G.
Washburn, of Wisconsin, who has
made investments in Minneapolis, il
one way and another, TO the amount
Of $1,000 He has spared no pains
or money to make it as nearly per-
feet as possible. 1t is heated by
steam, lighted BY gaa, supplied with
water from the Holly pumps on
every floor, and admirably protected
against fire, the boilers being entire
ly outside the building, and hose in
every room ready to be attached to
the water pipes if necessary.
The flour manufactured here, with
the bran, Will fill train Of cars

The Traditions Of History.

George Washington's "httle hatch
ct" is in Imminent danger, One by
one the cherished and well remember
ed traditions of our early years are
being written down by matter-of-fact
Investigators. In the next century
some wise2cre may question the
truth Of our national legend. AL
ready the story of William Tell has
been thrown back from the four
teenth to the twelfth century, and
the venue changed from Switzerland
to Denmark. The legend of Bell
sarius, blinded and poor, begging his
bread in the streets Of Constantino-
pie. was not mentioned, it now APP
pears until six hundred years after
his death, which occurred when he
was in the full enjoyment of bis
property and honors, A. D. sos, the
year when Juetinian III. became head
of the Eastern Emplr6. Still later is
the reported magnanisnity attributed
to Henry Y. of England, (Fallstaff's
"Prince Hail. on his reappointment
to the Chief JustlceshEp OF Dir VIII
liam Gasooigne, who had committed
him, when Prince of Wales, to pris
on. This tradition has been adopted
by Lord Campbell in his Lives of
the Chief Justices Of England "a
work more entertaing than accurately,
the truth beng that Gascoigne wac
driven frora his Office 4 few days at
ter the Kings accession. Latest of
all, and most recent, is the chiyalrous
reply, said to have been made at
Waterloo by General Cambronne,
"The Guard die, but never surrender"
the words spoken, Victor Hugo has
strongly affirmed, being very diff
ferent, followed by the fact that Ma
poleon's Imperial Guard did surren-
der, with Cambronne at their head |!
There is, indeed general knocking
on the head Of the traditions of an
Gent and modern history.

nA-We must not be too proud of the
corruptions. frauds and stealings that
happen under onr republican institu-
tons. In Hamburg, Germany, the
government detectives have recently
discovered customhouse frauds that
make ours, about which SO much noise
is now being raised, appear rather
contemplate. The stealiDgs in the
case of one firm alone amounted to
about $500, 300 every year, and have
been carried on for number of years.
The race ofTweeds, Sanborns, Jaynes

ton Of sorrow? He had stood alOof
from the multitude the friendship
of his heart had been given to bat
few; 10 the many he had appeared
distant, self satisfied and cold. His
public life had been full OF bitter con-
fiote. No man had aroused against
himself fercer animosities. Although
warmly recognized by many, the
public services Of no man had been
more acrimoniously questioned by
opponents. No statesman's motives,
qualities of heart and mind, wisdom
and character, except his integrity,
had been the subject Of more heated
CONTROVERSY and yet, when sudden
death snatched him from US, friend
and foe bowed their heads alike.
Every potriolic citizen felt poorer
than the day before. Every true
American heart trembIed with the
apprehension that the Republic had
lost something it could i'll spare.

the ocean, voices came, minglIng

The city of Bost0n's commem0ra-
ton IF Charles Summers death took
place in Music Hall on the afternoon
Of The 10Th ultimo. The weather
was rainy and tempestuous, but every
available space was filed by those
fortunate enough to obtain tickets,
which were in such demand that as
high as $50 was refused for single
ticket The audience en- braced the
city government, State Legislature,
executive departments, judges of the
courts, and several prominent persons
from other States The platform
presented beautiful display of
flowers The programme of exer-
cisos, previously publ sed, was car
ried out. Wendell Phillips, in few
eloquent words, introduced the ora
tor Of the cay, Senator Carl Schurz.
THE GRAFTON.
When thenews went forth, "Charles
Sumner is dead, tremor Of strange
emotion was felt all over the land.
1t was as if magnificent star, star
unlike all others, which the living
generation had been wont to behold
fixed and immo7able above their
heads, had all at once disappeared
from the sky, and the people stared
into the great void darkeneLed by
the sudden absence IF the familiar
light. On the 10th of March fu-
neral procession passed through the
streets Of Boston. Uncounted thou,
sands Of men, women and children
had assembled to see it pass. No
uncommon pageant had attracted
them no military parade with gilt
tering uniforms and gay banners ; no
pompous array Of Iignitaries in off,
cial robes nothing hut carriages and
hearse with coffin, and in it the
corpse Of Charles Sumner But
there they stood-a multitude i'm
measurable 10 the eye, rich and poor,
white and black, old and youug--in
grave and mournful silence, to bid a
last sad farewell TO him who was be-
ing borne to his grave. And every
breeze from every point of the COM
pass came loaded with q sigh Of sor-
row. Indeed, there was not city
or town in this great Republic which
would not have surrounded that fu-
neral procession with the same spec
tacle Of q profound and universal
sense Of great bereavement.
