THE NORTHERN PENINSULAR LAND
.lE . GRANT. f-t

dnANxs rs
In another column we, give an edi-
torial from the Detroit Post con-
corning the prospective Mackinaw
and Marquette Railroad, presenting the
advantages which would accrue to the
state at large from the building of the
road. While it presents most of these
advantages clearly and tersely, it rails to
mention one important matter, and that
is the value of the lands composing this
grant for farming purposes. The land is
not only valuable for its timber, but
when.this is disposed of there remains
one of the best wheat and hay producing
countries in the state. Even. much
further north than this land grant,
around Sault st. Marie, much of the land
is being improved, and already there are
many fine farms. With the railroad
built, many years would not elapse be-
fore the tide Of emigration would turn in
this direction, and the lands of the COM
pany become extremely valuable for ag-
ricultural purposes,

THE RESULTS.

That the results of the late visit of 8
few of the gentlemen composing in part
the state government, with other promi-
nent men from different portions Of the
state, will result in much good to this
section of the state we have not the least
doubt. That their time was so limited
chat they could not have seen more of
the country and became acquainted
with more of the people is regretted by
all, still they departed after their brief
visit with much different ideas of Che
boygan, its resources and future pros
poets than when they came. This change
cannot but have its effects should the
time ever come when this country needs
anythingas the hands of the Legislature.
Hadthe knowledge of this country been
moregeneral, the development would
have been much more rapid.
A year ago the leading men of the Up
per Peninsular invited the state officers
and members of the Legislature to visit
that country. They did so, and were
surprised with the condition of things
they found there. This visit was prOduc-
tive of much good. The visit was again
repeated this year, and no doubt with
equally good results. The portion which
came here was few compared with those
who visited the Upper Peninsular. The
only great mistake that the party made
was IN going to their destination through
Wisconsin. There is almost as great 9
want of knowledge among our leading
men in regard to the northern portion Of
The southern, as In regard to the Northern
PENINSULA, and the time of the members
of the excursion could have been spent
more probably to themselves and to the
state, Of whose interests they are the Gus
todians, in passing through and examin
ing their own state, thanin going through
any other. We are in hopes that the visit
of few of them to this place will change
the route in favor of this state should
there be another excursion next year
We trust that there will be, for there has
heretofore been far too little intercourse
between the two sections Of the state,
and increase Of knowledge and friendly
feeling will largely enhance the prosper
ity Of both. sGL e

EDITORIAL NOTES.

SOME California capitalists are organ
izing national telegraph company
which proposes to transmit dispatche.
of ten words within $50 miles for from II
to 20 cents, and its highest charge will b.
81 for 1000 miles or over. II this enter
prise does not get devoured by that cor
morant monopoly, the Western Unior
line, it may be able to compel great re
duction in telegraph rates.

THOMAS Ell. BENTON, one of the great
pillars Of the Democratic party, was con-
slant in his advocacy of hard money.
He bears this testimony against an ire
deemable paper currency: It tends to
aggregate the inequality of fortunes; to
make the rich richer and the poor poor
err; to multiply nabobs and paupers, and
to deepen and widen the gulf which
separates Dives from Lazarus.

THE YACHT RACE.
The America Wins.

PORTSMOUTH, July 31.-The yacht America
won the race at Isles of Shoals to day by 2
minutes Is seconds, having 8 minutes allow
ance for the Resolute s greater displacement of
water. The course was from the Oceanic
House, on Star Island, around White Island
and Boon Islaud and return-39 miles of sail
ing. The Resolute started at II 80 80, and
came in at $4,000. The America started at
1854 80 and came in at 3:4818. The race was
for small private stake between the owners
On Monday, in the sweepstakes race between
the same yachts, the America will have no
time allowance, and it is thought the Resolute
will carry off the Oceanic punch bowl, which
is the prize to be sailed for. The course is not
decided on, but will depend somewhat on the
direction of the wind. AS the America, with
her deep.keel, likes best to sail on half gale,
fers to run before it, each will strive to arrange
for the advantage.
Attempt to Wreck Train.

NEW YORK.


New YORK, July 31.-The Sun says thai
Augustus Storrs, treasurer of Plymouth church
has paid to Henry Ward Beecher $50, 600, as the
first installment of his 100000 salary Two
secret meetings of the board of trustees have
been held within the past three weeks, and
there has been very much difference of opin-
ion, bordering almost on dssension, as to how
the remaining $4,000 shall be raised. The
amount paid to Beecher was the surplus thai
the pew rents Melted at the sales in January,
and covers his regular 800, 900 salary
The Times says it is somewhat authoritively
stated that the officials of Plymouth church
intend to raise the $4,000 additional salary
voted to Mr.. Beecher by mortgage on the
Bethel. A fund is now being raised by mem.
bers of Plymouth church for the benefit Of
Miss Bessie Turner.

The Kew Note of Health

The health and vigor of the several organs of the
body depend upon the simple condition that the
functions which pertain to each shall be regularly
and actively performed. If vitality is sluggish de-
fcient, this condition is not properly fulfilled, and
consequence disease is soon inaugurated. Prevent
1t by timely use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
which rouse the vital energies when dormant and
endow the feeble frame with needful stamina. AT
the same time that the Bitters infuse new strength
into the SYSTEM they correct those functional regu
larities and local weaknesses which sap the vital
power. Dyspepsia, bladder and kidney complaints,
govt, rheumatism, fever and ague biliousness,
stipation and nervous diseases are invariably over
come by the operation of this standard Alternative

ATCHINsoN, July 31.-Considerable damage
has been done to small grain yet standing by
the heavy rains of the past two weeks. Corn
however is growing with wonderful vigor and
this crop it is thought will be the largest ever
produced in this state. Even on the eastern
border where the locust destroyed the first
planting, corn replanted late in Juue is now
frow to feet high, and the prospect is that
it will yield full crop. The heavy rain of
Tuesday last SO damaged the Atchinson & Ne
braska railroad that trains have not passed over
the road since that date. The road will be re-
paired and trains run regularly BY Monday.
