From the Fredercklown MOO Bee,
Last week, through an oversight of
the genteel chief of this paper, the Vul-
gAr partners inserted several personal
notices IN the local column without
attending 10 the ual preliminary
formula of collecting ten cents line,
on even getting the consent of the
parties whose names were thus acct
IDENTIFY inserted, In consequence of
this great neglect of business on the
part Of the vulgar partners, we--the
gCuteel chief--have been compelled to
take "buck water on several occasions
during the week, and it was only by
the timely assistance of our fighting
editor $. b. D.-thnt we are now pre-
setved perfect in the flesh, and are able
TO make this additional apology to our
friends.
In this connection we wish to make
one grand broad-guage apology for
everything we have ever said or done !!
five have ever mentioned anybody's
name in this paper in n personal way,
we don't just now recollect it; in fact,
we don't try to recollect these little
things; but if we have ever done such
thing, we now standy ready to take
it back just az fast rs we can haul
in our tow-line of immaculate truth,
which we have been industriously
spinning for the last year and n half.
In future we will be careful to avoid
personals, and anybody should un-
fortunately find their name in our pa
per, we wish it understood that it is
only done in II general way, and not
personal at all, ut all.

the ST. CRelx LAND GRANT.


A case involving the title to the Bay
field and St. Croix land Grant was ar
gued on Tuesday before the United
States Supreme Court in Washington.
The case is entitled 'Schulenberg VS..
Hartmann" and was argued by +. =.
Palmer for plaintiff in error, and by p.
l.. Spooner and S. G. Sloan of Wiscon-
sin. for the defense. The defendant cut
timber on the lands in the Bayfield, and
St. Croix grant. The State of Wiscon.
sin sued them. The question raised
was whether the title to the lands was
in the State until Invested by law OF
Congress, or whether. according to the
opinion of the Attorney General of the
United States, the title had reverted
without act Of Congress to the
General Government. The
State Courts aud the United
States Circuit Court in Wisconsin held
that the title was vested in the State,
and could not be forfeited except by
act Of Congress. The Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States has given an
opinion that the lands by lapse Of time
have reverted to the United States.
This action was originally brought in
the District Court of the County Of
Washington, Minnesota. under the stat
ute relating to the claim and delivery
Of personal property, and is in effect an
action to replevin. The Sheriff of that
county took the property in controversy
from the possession of the defendant,
and subsequently delivered it to the
plaintiff. The chief points made against
the State were that the State acquired
only a permissive right to dispose Of
the lands for . defined purpose upor
complying with certain conditions nam
, ed in the law; that the State acquired
. no title Of any degree in the lands. but
a mere naked power or trust to dispose
of them in manner and for the purpose
and no other than described in thu
grant. The further point was mad
that the lands reverted to the United
! States at the expiration Of the periot
limited in the grant. The decision vii

THE TRANSIT OF VENUS.
Success Of Two American Parties.

The Observers i'm Nagasaki, Japan,
and Hobarten, Van Diemen's
Land, Report Their Partial but
Gratifying Success.
LONDON, Dec. TO- The following dis
patch has been received from Prof. Da-
wilson, chief astronomer Of the Ameri-
can expedition to Nagasaki:
NAGAsAKI, Dec. 9th.
During our observations of the tran
sit of Venus to-day the weather was
unusually cloudy and unpromising, and
the time at which it was calculated the
transit would begin passed away with
or being able to record the exact mo-
ment of the first contact, with trust
worthy results.
After about quarter Of an hour,
and before Venus reached the stage Of
her second contact, the observer at the
equatorial caught glimpse Of the Sun
and planet, and was quite successful in
taking several measurements Of the
planets cusps, during the interval be-
tween the first and second contacts.
The time at which the latter contact
occurred was obtained with success and
recorded.
Shortly after the second contact
further measurements of the distance
between Venus and the Suns western
edge were made with micrometer. lr
ali there were taken one hundred anC
fifty micrometic measurements Of thu
line between the cusps. Be
sides these thirty Ont
micrometic observations were made o
the passage of both edges Of the SUI
across the meridian of the station, ant
similar views of the right and left rim
of Venus in crossing the same line
Eighteen micrometic surveys were mad
of the respective destinations of tn
Sun and planet, by observing both tn
upper and lower limbs while passing tn
meridian. About sixty excellent pho
! tographs of the transit, during variou
periods of its occurrence, were taken.
Extreme good fortune attended tn
e astronomers, for, just as Venus depar
J, ed from the Sun, the clouds began
S gather and threatened rain.
Toward the close of November "
were enabled to telegraph the ditfe
:. ence of longitude to Vladivostok, s
! that the location of the position here
:; definitely determined.
