BENEDICT ARNOLD YOUNG.
Young charges us with selling out.
The difference between Young and our

GOING SOUTH.

There is a strong disposition with
many, as winter approaches in our cold
northern climate to go south. 1t is
something Of the instinct OF the bird OF
passa oe even the captured wild goose
flaps its broken wing as the skies darken
and looks anxiously iowa d the land OF
eternal summer. The other day quite a
colony, two car loads, left Minneapolis

until next spring.
This is a world of compensations
The lands without snow and cold are as
a rule lands without health. The severe
tutelegc OF cold winds and bitter trosts
builds up the highest race Of men. In
the north the human race steadily be-
comes more vigorous and energetic; in
the south it sinks into disease and weak
ness and each generation is lower in the
scale than its predecessor.
We clip the following in reference to

would do much good. Certainly this is to be
said. that we have not yet attained to that per-
fecticn of plan or execution which results in
the highest success, and every suggestion for
improvement should be seized on gladly, but
not therefore rashly adopted without careful
and exhaustive consideration.
We hope the meeting OF the State
Grange in December next will be fully
attended, and the business OF Che Order
fully and fairly discussed. The Order
will thrive just in proportion TO its ca
pacity tor usefulness to the people. Its
present business arrangements do not
seem to be satisfactory: The system
seems to be at fault.

HOW CALIFORNIA STRIKES 4 MN

About this season Of the year many OF
our people are seized with the California
mania, and dream of an equal climate
bright skies, perpetual flowers and trees
laden with delicious fruit. A friend OF
ours, Joseph Ennis, Esq, of Hastings,
permits us to publish the following let
ter which he has just received from Il
tormer Minnesotian. 1tappears that the
writer has not found California the par
adise which it has been painted:

DEAR SIR: This leaves us all well. left my
former home in Minnesota for California. We
are here IN country nearly as much too hot as
that was too cola; very dry and warm. There
has been no rain here since l rome IN March
last. So you may guess how the dust Is! And
the thermometer has stood since May Sth at
from 50 to 1905 and it is hot as the internal
regions now.

here if it is cold. This is the poorest farming
country eyer saw. Everything is very high.
Wood is worth SIS O0 per cord; lumber S35 W
to $50 10 per thousand feet; we raise no po-
tatoes, only i'll the mountains, and on the coast
they are worth cents per pound. As for fruit
it is cheaper III Minnesota than here both green
ana dry. Every thing Is from 30 to 2OU pei
cent higher here than there.
Sir, answer and say whether you can give
me a farm to work, for ii | should come back
