MAINE PRAIRIE, Sept. 10th, 1875


EDITOR JouRNAL.-The threshing ma.
chimes are very busy threshing out the
grain. The yield, Notwithstanding the loss
by the rains, think in this town will be
20 per cent. higher than last year, but the
quality of = large part of the grain will be
poor. Many are talking of erecting some
sort Of sheds to stack or stow their grain in,
in years to come. Any plan that any of
our brother farmers have for such build
ing will be thankfully received through
The JOURNAL.
Our farmers are pushing their blowing
along as fast as possible, believing that land
plowed in August is worth from one to
three dollars an acre more than land plow-
ed late in autumn.

THE COUNTY FAIR,

The officers Of the Society are doing their
whole duty toward making the fair next
week success, but the result really rests
with the farmers in this and the adjoining
counties and the merchants of St. Cloud.
Unless the people respond by attending
and bringing articles for entry and exhi:
bition the work Of the officers can avail
nothing.
We trust that the farmers will spare no
effort to come and bring their produces
stock, etc, And we also hope that the
merchants and manufacturers Of this city
will make display which will be credit
to them and benefit to the fair. To do
this may require some time and trouble,
but this much every one should be willing
to give. Let all work together and make
the fair next week a complete success.

The inner history of the negotiations
between JEFF Davis and the Directors of the
WinnebaRo County Fair has yet to be writ
ten. Itseems that there was a little diff.
ference of opinion between the high con-
tracing parties as to the value Of a lecture
from the ex-President of the Confederacy.
Mr.. Davis demanded $500. The Directors
begged him to knock off something for the
sake Of the cause, and to seal the era of re-
Cancellation for $500. He refused. Then
they offered $500. Still he refused. He
stood by his original stipulation; and az
the Board was particularly Jealous in the
matter, all the members but one being DEM
ocrats or independents" the $500 basis
was finally agreed upon. This arrange
ment wac displeasing to many Republicans
in the county, and, as everybody knows, it
was broken off to the convenience of both
parties concerned. Now it is said the
Southern farmers are seeking to continue
the unpleasantness by Withdrawing their
patronage from the Rockford manufacture
ers, who deal largely in agricultural imple-
ments

A PHILADELPHIA correspondent
Of the New York Times writes:
"Your correspondent was informed
tonight upon undoubted authority,
or else use would not be made of the
statement, that during the past week
information has been gained by the
officers of the law that in case Wes-
tervelt was convicted the boy Charley
Ross would be returned also that
the prosecution has much informa.
ton of an important character which
they withheld from this trial for pru-
Dental reasons. This seems to settle
the long-mooted question of the boy
being alive, which has caused a sea
Of wonderment. The plan, Is related,
is that Westervelt will reveal who
the parties are that have the child in

connection that the officials who have
been trying this case informed me OF
their strong belief that the child is

SOME PERTIsgENT INQUIRIES AND Or
- 9ERVATlONs.

EDITOR JouRNAL.-Being in possession
OF that abundance Of leisure which any
mistress of q large or small household can
have, II she val only take it, 1 will, with
your permission, publicly relieve my mind
OF q few burdens. Firstly. The omelet.
it will lie heavy on my mind if the eeps
Of which it is to be made are not fresh.
But If, after I have bought and paid for
them, I find they were'laid in past age,
by species Of hen that ought to be ex.
t'nct, l take them to quiet garden spot
and put them under covering Of mother
earth, with no unnecessary funeral cere-
monies, then go back to the same grocer for
another half dozen. He may remain in
bllssful ignorance Of the antiquity of the
Others. He is not a relic gatherer, and
did not value them for their age. 1 return
home hoping that when the new ones are
delivered there will be modern ones enough
found among them 10 relieve the immedi-
ate necessities of my family. But, 10 the
drivers foot, or perhaps the jolts of his
cart, have made premature omelet of
some, from which distinguish the age
and am rejoiced, so proceed after the fol.
lowing rules to make one of the proofs that
cookery is a fine art: Beat two eggs mixed
with one large spoonful of sweet cream Tor
milky to a nice froth pour on browning
hot buttered griddle; Immediately roll up
and off on to hot plate; sprinkle with
salt and pepper, and serve. If sailed be-
fore cooking it cannot be made light. Two
persons working together, with good fire
and plenty Of griddles, can cook twelve to
sixteen eggs in five minutes.
Secondly. I have wondered several times
lately iii would be ebreaoh of law for me
to have the full udders of these trai med
COWS relieved before turning them out of
the yard the third time in five consecutive
minutes.
Thirdly. Why don't picture makers put
the frame on their pictures before Offering
them for sale? While initiating a face,
flower or landscape, the frame that would
be most suitable for that particular picture
should be initiated also, so the artists work
need not be spoiled by the ignorance of the
purchaser. Chromos and other cheap pic
lures would then be worth having.
Fourthly. The "pastors call'-whata an in.
teresting affair it is! OF course, the men
are never favored with one unless sick unto
death. We women have to endure to be
reminded Of our shortcomings, that we are
already too conscious Of to enjoy life. 1
live in hopes Of seeing the day when we
will have women for spiritual teachers as
we'll as women, for our physical doctors.
Can it be that taking away the magnetic
influence would rob religion of its charm

IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE.

On and after the first day of October,
1875, the undersigned will sell goods for
cash, and cash only, as necessity, not choice,
compels this change. During five years
we have worked for the public; as "the
wages of sin is DEATH" so bad debts have
been ours. We have had to make the cash
buyer pay for the "dead beat" which will
no longer be the case at this store, as in fu-
ture each one will pay for what he or she
gets, and not for the maintenance of "dead
heads" At the above date books, notes and
all papers will pass into the hands of an
attorney for collection. We may incur the
ill-will of some in this move, but we have
to study our own interests more than that
of our neighbors.
Therefore, let it be understood that after
the first day of October we will trust no
person, keep no books or drawer tickets,
will pay cash everything we buy, and
anyone having an account against us will
please call and get his money. Those
owing us will please call and pay. We
mean business, let the result be what it may

A CORRESPONDENT writes to ask
the Chicago Tribune the three great
est grain-producing countries in the
world. The statistics of 1870 show
that Russia produced 46O,0O0,O00
bushels of wheat; France, 286,OO0,-
600, and the United States the same.
Russia exported one-eighth of her
grain; the United States one-fourth,
and France none. The United
States, however, grows an enormous
amount of corn, which the others do
not.
Another candidate for cereal hon
ors comes forward. South Australis
this year announces that it has 200,
600 tons of surplus wheat, $4,000
tons of which have already been ex
ported, while the remainder is read,
for shipment.

THE DALLES OF THE ST. CROIx.
ST. PAUL. Sept. 2Oth. 1876

ST.. PAUL. Sept. 20th, 1875.
EDITOR JoURNAL.-A trip from St.
Paul to Duluth is something worth seeking
by the tourist who can appreciate fine nat
ural scenery. People travel thousands of
miles from our shores and meet with hard
ships and danger to view foreign scenes,
but they never think of the many objects
of interest that we possess in our native
land. Among the latter are the Dalles
of the St. Louis River, on the Lake Supe-
rior and Mississippi railway. The Dalles
proper occupy distance of five miles, be-
ginning at Thompson and continuing almost
to Fond du Lac. The channel of the river
is cut through solid masses of rock; the
water surges and leaps from crag to crag,
and the white foam whirls in numberless
eddies, to be swallowed upand succeeded by
others as they rush onward towards Lake
Superior, on whose broad bosom they finally
find rest. The railway winds like huge
serpent along the banks and sterile rocks
of the stream. Seated in a palace car the
traveller can gaze upon scenes he will never
forget. Beneath him he sees the raging
waters; to his right, as far as the eye can
reach. are mountains Of rock covered with
oul native evergreens in places regular
steppes of green ascend until they seem to
meet the blue armament of heaven, and
finally blend into an indistinct hazy cloud
of green and blue. To the left are noun
tains that rise high above him, and appear
ready to fall and crush the puny train that
winds on its way slowly and surely amongst
rocks and dells, creeping like thing of
life over tressels and bridges, some of
which are one hundred and fifteen feet from
the ground, and again plunging into the
bowels of the earth, only to emerge again
and glide across another yawning chasm {;
until finally Spirit Lake, nine miles from
Duluth, comes in view, with its silvery
sheen glancing in the sunlight. From there
to Duluth (which is in the same latitude as
Vienna and Paris, though oranges and 9TH
er tropical fruits do not grow quite as
abundant), the journey is soon accom-
plished. FMS.
