COMMERCIAL MATTERS.


Business opens up quite briskly and

rounding country took adyant.
age of the opportunity thus
afforded to market their wheat here.
Those coming in this morning report
the roads very bad, not enough snow to
make sleighing, and the rough icy sur.
face, making the wheeling very
bad, necessitating small loads and
very careful driving to avoid disasters,
and but few will attempt to move their
grain until we have good fall Of snow.
Probably rs loads have been re-
ceived this morning up to the time Of
going to press, for which the
price paid per bushel ranged
from rs to SOC; the latter for
No. /. 1t should be remembered that
the elevator company buy or sell no
wheat. Their business is simply stor-
ing for the producer or the purchaser,
on which they will make liberal ad.
yances. But buyers will be at the ele-
vator all the time prepared to
pay the very highest cash price
for all offerings, so that
those desiring to sell, can be assured of
always finding purchasers. The quota
tons above are from actual sales to-
day, and all future quotations will be
made in the same way.

Anew Word. TO wives aud Mothers.

The women Of our nation have been
clsSsed as angels Of Mercy" and
they have proved true, not only on the
battle field, as we have often witnessed,
but also in the sick chamber. 1t is
they who have moulded the character
OF all our great men. 1t is they who
teach the little ones their morning and
evening prayer, and ever point them to
the blessed Savior. They are ever to
be found in the front ranks where any
movement is on foot for the ameiora-
ton OF the human race. Their advice
and counsel are often sought by hus.
6anus on matters Of important
business, and if all hus.
bands would in every instance
consult and counsel with their wives in
matters of business, &C., there would
be less vice and bankruptcy in the
world, as they are noted for their
quick perception and often surpass the
shrewdest business man in Judging
character. But when consulted and
cuunseled in regard to Life Insurance,
they (many Of them seem to be at
fault. They seem to look upon Life
Policy as precursor of death. They
often cry out II want none Of your
blood money" Madam, that is harsh
expression. Could you not modify it
by saying "love money!" as many a
devoted, unselhsh husband has
deprived himself Of many
of the Injuries and even the
comforts Of life that he may be enabled
to carry Life Policy. You are strong
while a husband lives and loves you,
but you are weak, oh! so weak, when
you go upon the world husbandless and
penniless. Do not oppose Life lnsur-
ance, as by so doing you may be court.
ing future poverty and want. Tickle
fortune may consign you to the mid
night lamp and the needle as your only
shield to keep the wolf from the door,
and your little ones, too, may prema-
turely be consigned to the factory or
workshop, where they will be
deprived of your moral inhu.
ence, and also Of education, which is so
essential to their future success and
happiness. God pity those who pass
through such gate of sorrow. Re-
member that you live in a cold, unchar.
table world. The friends that nov
surround you while in prosperity will
visit you in your hour of trial and
affection and sympathize deeply with
you, bat they will give you no aid.
They will freely bestow their benedic-
tions but withhold their benefactions.
Your opposition to Life Insurance is
unnatural and unreasonable. There
fore, take our advice and oppose it no
longer.

Splendid Chance 10 Secure a Cheap
Home.

A splendid opportunity is offered by
the Board Of the Catholic Industrial
School of Minnesota for securing val.
liable residence property inr and con.
tigious to the city Of st. Paul, for a
small outlay, and at the same time aid
ing in esta blishing this school Of
the most creditabie enterprises ever
Undertaken by religious denomina-
ton in the State-on a sound financial
basis. This proposition provides for
the distribution among those purchas-
ing shares Of property worth $4,000,
which is divided into 5000 shsres at only
$40 share. lp this property is a
splendid stone residence occupying one
Of the most slightly and attractive loca-
tons in St. Paul, lately the property
of Judge Underwood, valued at $780,
600. Then there is another fine resi-
dence valued at $500 with upwards
of 400 lots, FROM an ordinary sized city
lot up to five acres, and valued at $3.50
each to $4,000. In addition each
shareholder gets a subscription to any
Of the-St. Paul dailies for year, OF its
equivalent in weekly subscription to
either the Northeastern Chronicle,
Western Times or the Wdnderer.
This scheme is by far the most liber.
al ever offered in the Northwest. All
the property offered is desirably loca.
ted, and is rapidly gaining in value by
the growth Of St. Paul and Minneapo.
lis, and the rapid settlement, Of the
country lying between the two cities,
and will be still further advanced in
value by the erection of the school
buildings for which purpose the prop.
erty is so Id, and on which improve.
ments have already been commenced to
cost $4,000.
The Board of the Industrial School
who have the real management Of all
the details Of this magnificent scheme,
comprise some Of the most honorable
and widely known citizens Of the State.
As their immediate agent and manager
they have selected j. w. Fralick, OIL
St. Paul, whose name is synonymous
with honor and untiring energy, as es
pecially shown in the perfectly sue
cessfu and satisfactory manner in
which he conducted the recent dstri
button Of the Wann property in st.
Paul.
Another guarantee TO purchasers OF
shares is found in the fact that all
moneys arc to be held by Hon. John s
Prince, cashier Of the st. Paul Saving.
Bank, who will retain them until tho
distribution takes place, and the deeds,
etc, for all the property has been de-
posted with him, thus securing the
shareholder from all possibility Of loss.
The distribution will take place on
or before March lst. Communications
should bo addressed to j. w. Frslick,

While visions Of sugar-plums danced
through their heads;
Aud mamma in her 'kerchief and in my

Had just settled our brains for long win

When out on the lawn there arose such
clatter,
sprang from my bed to see what was the
matter;
Away 10 the window flew like a hasD,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the
sash.
The moon on the breast Of the new fallen
snow,
Gave The lustre of midday to objects be-
low;
When, what to my wondering eyes should
appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny
reindeer,
VI it'll a little old driver, so lively and
quick,
| knew in a moment it must be St. NICK.

And he whistled and shouted, and called

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like

His droll little mouth was draw up like d

And the beard ON his chin was rs white as

The stump of pipe he held tight in his

And the smoke it encircled his head ike
