some peculiarities demanding special
attention. Artistically, it has many
features of the first excellence. The

We have an intimation that with the

to step to the front in the interests of
the Centennial, by commencing the
publication of revolutionary story of
rare power and with many startling
revelations, claiming to have been
kept back for the past forty years, af-
ter coming from the lips of the actors
in that wondrous drama,-as also by
supplying illustrations Of the great
events of the conflict, in the first style
Of Aldine art. If this proves true,
there is no hazard in saying that The
Aldiae will thereby be opening a mine
Of increased popularity and prosperity,
not easily measured or calculated; as
materials for few new revolutionary
stories can possibly exist, and who will

through the west, the pioneer spirit
prevails and some of the old settlers,
as they see the evidences Of civilization
springing up around them, yearn for
the adventures and trials of the from
tier. In consequence of this tendency
frequent opportunities are afforded to
purchase cultivated farms at figures
not much above the value of wild land
Stock RAISING.
Especial advantages are offered here
for stock farming. Horses, Cattle,
Sheep and Hogs are remarkably free
from liability to disease. The natural
pasture is luxurious and almost every
quarter section will furnish sufficient
amount Of wild hay for ordinary farm
use. In fact, there is almost no tame
hay grown yet. There are thousands
of tons, surplus, of wild hay and many
cattle have no other feed than the nat
ural pasture in Summer and hay in
winter.

The village of Redwood Falls is tho

There are fourteen stores, some Of
them keeping a general stock, others
making speciality of Groceries,
Hardware, Drugs, Boots and Shoes or

There are two No. FIGURING Mills,

A grain Elevator has been erected,

The village also contains three Ho-

The linseed oil works at Mankato
closed Wednesday, having worked up
their entire stock of seed. As no
seed can be procured, the works must
remain closed until after the harvest.
The comp,ny's loan of seed for the

estimated, will give the company 160..
900 bushels of seed for use another

Scribner's Monthly for March.

Some one in New York writes as
follows of SCRIBNER for March:
IL suppose that after this March
number of Major Powell's Colorado
papers is published the public will
wake up to the extraordinary interest
of the series, both in story and illustra-
tion, and will be looked up the back
numbers. A more splendid feat has
seldom been described so modestly aud
we'll, by the hero himself. In fact the
public seem to be looking up the back
numbers of this volume of Scribners
already, for the publishers are reprint
ing some, and expect to be compelled
to reprint all the issues since the be-
gining of the volume in November"
DR.. Hollands "Story of Sevenoaks''
may have something to do with this
unusual demand. This reaches its third
installment in the March number, and
the william of the plav is taken from
the quiet Sevenoaks to the more turbid
and cougenial atmosphere of the me-
tropolis, where it seems likely that he
will run course not altogether unpro.
cedented in the history of successful
''vulgarians."
Jules Vernes story has disappointed,
a good many people, who did not know
it was written for young people. The
Editors, by the way, have taken it in
hand, and are "condensing it into much
more than its original interest. Jules
Verne condeses much better than EN-.
erson.
Speaking Of condensation, Mr.. Sted.
man has had to do not a little Of that
in his "Victoriau Poems;" the last Of
which interesting series appears in the
March Scribner. Stedman's opinion
of Swinburne will astonish many per-
sons whose knowledge of this author is
like celebrated old lady's knowledge
Of Johnson's Dictionary.
"How the Opera of Dante was
Written" is not an essay, as some will
suppose; it is story which contains
suggestion to which We beg leave to
call Verdi's attention.
In this number we have one of tho
promised papers by Albert Rhodes.
'Some Old Letters" are continued.
and besides their own interest, are re-
markable as being accompanied by a
hitherto unpublished portrait of Sir
Walter Scott, by the artist Newton,
once we'll known in America and Eng,
land.

here about DR.. Leonard Bacon and his
book, under the title of "New England
and her Church"
The poetry is supplied by Samuel
W. Dufield, J. G.. SAKE, Hr E. War
ner, G. F. Bates, G.. P. Lathrop, and
Joaquin Miller. The most noticeable
features in the Editorial departments
are DR.. Hollands papers on Criticism,
and Preaching; 'summing up of tho

new departure" In the "Etchings" de-
partment," which is much longer and

One of the greatest pleasures which
ST. NICHOLS brings to its readers, is
certainly the monthly chapters OF Miss
Alcot's story. This time we catch a
delightful glimpse of the "Eight Cous-

the confusion and riot produced 1y the
return Of their sailor-uncle.
But Rose IS not the only character
in March number who meets with re-
markablc surprise, for in Mr.. Trow-

and they will fad a story of this kind
in the poem called "The War of the

as thrilling in its way as the deeds of
any favoritc hero from Richard Cnur.

mirable; one of them, true "battle.

exciting and novel.
As for the rest Of the number, we
have several excellent stories by Frank

others, sketchs Of travel and science

follows: "I would like to say a word to

you arc. California is inferior to Min.

mile. A son Of Mr.. Taylor's was lost

election cases the time allowed for tax
ins tcs:imory shall be ninety days, aud
the testimony shall Lc taken in the

take testimJny during the first forty
days; the RETURNED member during the
succeeding tor'y days, and the consss-

only during the remaining ten days Of
said period,
Tie act, to which the above is sup
Elemental, provides that the time for
taking testimony shall commence when
the answer Of the returned member
shall be served on the contestant,
Maj. Straits answer WAS served Jan
