On the inside Of this issue we print the
speech of D. W. Wellman, delivered at Zum-
brota on the 4th instant, on the subject of
a narrow gauge railway from Wabasha to
Faribault. Independent of its local in
terest. as connected with the road in oues
ton, the speech is very valuable for the
great amount Of information that it con-
tains with regard to narrow gauge roads in
general. 1t looks now as though the build
ing Of narrow gauge roads would, at no
very distant day, furnish solution to some
Of the difficulties of transportation. In a
week among the farmers, we have found
that they look upon the labor of marketing
their crops as the most difficult part of farm
work.
TO have market which can at least be
reached, and the farmer return to his home
the same day, making moderate days
drive, seems to be, at the present time, in
this State, the one thing desired by every
farmer. If this can be accomplished by
the building Of narrow gauge roads, great
good will have been accomplished, and the
farmers be saved many hardships and his
family much anxiety.

Thurlow Weed says that for long
time he was under the impression that
there was to be grand National celebra-
tion in Philadelphia. on the fourth day Of
July, 1876, but he now sees that he was
mistaken, and that instead of celebration
it is to be an exhibition organized for the
purpose Of making money. He acknowl-
edges his delusion and denounces the
scheme. So say we all of us.
The New York Tribune, speaking of Gar
IN
Representatives, says that "Garfield took
q very rose-colored view of the National ex-
penditures. In short he extracted sweet
cider from cobble stones" If the Tribune
had said "hard cider" it would have been
. much more plausible assertion, when we
consider the material from which he pro-
duced the article.

MYSTERY.

A Man Arrested by Sisninrck's Order.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 31.-On Wednesday evening
last young German whose name cannot be
learned was taken in charge by Thomas Laner-
gan, manager of the detective association of
this city. The order for his capture came by
cable from Bismarck in Berlin. He was an
under secretary to Count Won Arnim when that
noblemau was officiating as Minister at Paris.
At the time the letters of Bismarck to the
Count were distracted from the archives of
the Paris legation, a portion of them were con-
ided to the care of the under secretary, with
instructions to keep himself out of the way.
He remained concealed till Won Arnim's arrest,
and about six weeks ago started for New York
and proceeded thence to Kansas City, Mo-,
where he remained two weeks AT the expira.
ton of that time he came to st. Louis, where
he arrived ten days ago. He took lodgings in
the aristocratic portion OF the city, under an
assumed name. Money seemed plentiful with
him, and he made no effort to secure employ
ment.
When Won Arnm was admitted 10 bail. he
pledged himself to secure the return of the
under secretary, and also of the papers in his
possession, and furnish Bismarck with clue
to his whereabouts.
Bsmarck's despatch was to the German off.
cials at Washington and they communicated
with Lanergan here. He Immediately put him.
self in communication with the under secre-
tary, who only demanded that the request fol
his return should come from Won Arnim.
Upon being satisfied it was his masters wish,
he consented to go back to Berlin. He had left
the letters and papers in charge of German
merchant in New York.
On Wednesday night he left st. Louis for the
East via the Vandala route, arriving in New
York Friday night, receiving his papers and
setting sail to-day for Europe.
There has been an effort on the part of the
detectives to conceal the affair, but it has
leaked out through friend of the under secre
tary, who also refuses to give the mans name
The detectives upon being questioned admit
they sent such man TO Europe upon advices
from Berlin, but declined to give his name OF
tell how far he was connected with Won Arnim
of the distracted state documents, though they
admit he was wanted for political reasons.

BIDDEFoRD, Nov. There was quite an eX-
element and large crowd on the streets last
night, occasioned by the attempt of a posse of
Sheriff Warren's to search the store OF Mayor
Warren for liquors. which are sold in violation
of law. The Mayor was apprised OF the plans
of the officers, and had his store barred when
the officers called. He refused to open the doors
and threatened to shoot any one who should
attempt to enter without his permission. Off
GERS attempting to enter were nearly suffccated
with vessel of ammonia which he trew upon
them. The sheriffs for several hours bes;eged the
mayors store to no avail. There will be more of
this matter. The affair causes no little comment,
as an alleged rum selling Mayor who violates
laws which he should enforce, resisting the
lawful officers, is a novelty for this city.
