couldn't unload. We were told that they were
unable to get cars enough to ship the wheat Us
fast n it was brought in. Our railroad folks
ought to remedy this evil if possible, for it is
great damage to the business OF the place. The
new mill will soon be completed, and that will
help the matter some. Tn. roads have been

SONG OF THE WOODS MAN.
BY DILLON o'BRIEN.


Hurrah for the axe, the brave, sharp axe,
Hurrah for its notes that ring
Through the valley wide, up the mountainsside,
When it sweeps like falcons wing,
And down crashes the pine with its lordly crest.
For the axe hath cleaved through its knotted
breast.
Let others sing Of the sword, and flash
Of forest OF dancing spears;
But their path is red, with the blood Of the
dead,
While behind them, sea OF tears;
And the maiden waits for the lover in vain,
For he sleeps where the vulture feasts, mid the
slain.
Not these thy triumphs my brave, sharp axe,
On your blade are no stains of sin
With sweep and a how, you stri Ike your foe;
When up from his grave doth spring,
The yellow gram and broad leafed corn,
And my chill lren bless you at early morn.
Then, hurrah for the axe, the brave sharp axe,
Hurrah for its notes that ring
Through the valley wide. up the mountain side
When it sweeps like falcons wing,
And down crashes the pine with its lordly crest
For the axe hath cleaved through its knotteo
breast.

At length the dumb idol has spoke !;
President Grant made his first speech q
few weeks ago. .
And what did the president OF
a republic, whose citizens are all

he counsel harmony, christian love,
honesty. virtue, fortitude, generosi-
and iorbearance amongst citizens. that
the nation might advance in streng' b
and unity to fulfill the hopes OF the low
ers of freedom all over the earth?
Alas. no; it is the misfortune of the
country that the man whom the people
raised to the position of its chief magis-
trate is perfectly incapable of receiv ing
any moral or refining improvement,
from the exalted position he has been
raised to.

honest patriotic man, without being a

IRISH DEPARTMENT.
The IRISH CAUSE IN ENGLAND.
DILLON O'BRiEN, Editor.


A new paper, the Irish People, has
been started in Manchester, England.
Here are its principles:
eve are Irish in race. We believe
that if all our ceuntrymen were to try
and be Irish first, and everything else
they ough, to be afterwards, they would
be right at the beginning and rational
10 be going on with. We are national
in politics. We do not say we are Fe-
mans ourselves, but we believe Fen an
ism to be the only ism that can rescue
our country from that most tenacious OF
blood-suckers-the Saxon vampire !"
The above has the true ring. Yes,
where ever fate has located us, in Eng
land, America, or Australia, let US be
Irish first, last and all the time. Irish
in heart, in spirit. in love for the dear
old land, and resolution 20 bring her
freedom. This is the earthly mission as
mission as it will be the earthly reward
of our grand old faithful race if we be
but true to its inspiration. Not until the
light OF fire.. dom shines upon the sham
rocks that grow by our fathers graves,
shall this battle for Irish independence
cease not until our wrt ngs are aveng.
shall they be forgotten.
Ifvictory does not come in our day
then shall we leave the battle to oul
children as sacred legacy, and never
until it is won shall John Bull cease tt
hear by his own hearth. from the noun
tains and valleys OF Ireland, fr.m tht

America, the Irish battle cry, IRELAND

Never WAS the cause of Irish national
ity healthier than it is to-day in Ireland
The nationalists there, made up from
the young and inte.ligt mt manhood OF thu
country, take no interest in the politica

They are men of action who ieel tina

CORRESPONDENCE.
Available letter from John c. Wise, ESQ.,,
one Of the crasshopper Com.

missioners.
MANKATO, MIMI, Nov. 9th, 1875.
Editor Of anti Nonopolis.:
In your issue of the 9th, I find COM
mupication from Z. NJ. Clarke, Of Ka-
sofa, in which he says:
mir. Wise, one of the grasshopper
commissioners, has given publicity to
the story that the eggs (grasshopper)
were rotting to . very considerable ex-
tent, in various localities"
The above misrepresents my position.
In commenting upon an article from
the Watonwan County Record, wherein
it was stated that grasshopper eggs were
not SO plenty as had been supposed, and
that it was believe they had rotted, l
said:
.If this were 50. we imagine that
some trace Of the decayed matter would
be found in the ground" We then gave
- our belief that the black birds and pra-
RE chickens. both being very numerous
in the frontier counties, had dug mp and
eaten the missing eggs. We also stated
what we particularly observed in Wa
tonwan county. that in many places the
G ,ating which surrounds the eggs and
constitutes the sack. had been dlss lived
| by the wet weather, and that the eggs
lie unprotected in the damp ground.
We quoted Prof. Riley - authority for
the statement that excessive dampness
was injurious to the eggs. and in view Of
the severe rains throughout southwest
ern Minnesota, considered that fact -
quite hopeful. This is the substance Of
nv article. | still believe that the ex-
cessive rains. filing the s,oughs and
| overlooking the low lands viii be It
tended with beneficial results in lessen
| ing the number OF eggs that will mature.
I DO not pretend thas all will be destroy
ed by this state Of facts, but in view Of
the general degeneracy Of the Minneso-
u h0ppers, and the increase Of natural
causes which consPire to destroy them
/ am hopeful that next ye.rs' crop vii

many now suppose. A distinguished
European scientist estimates, that, on q
avcrage, owing 70 destruction from nat
ural causes, mot more than ten per cent
