many families the cooking is done

ifest commendable skill and efficien-
cy in the business. This labor is
all done by males. There are but
few female Chinese in this country.
They are willing laborers and they
effect the price Of labor very much,
hence the reason why other laborers
are so prejudiced against them.
The Irish Eould drive every China
man from the State if they had the
power. They as a race are dishon-
est, and most of them will purloin
every time they get an opportunity.
Even the cooks will take tea, sugar,
or any thing else in such small
quantities as not to cause suspicion.
Cinnamon have been detected in
shaking gold coin in a tight bag,
by which means they would obtain
dust from the coin, but not enough
to prevent them from passing it at
the stamped value. Every China
man has his long braided cue, some
wind them around their head, and
others let them hang at full length.
They live cheap and consequent
ly save the most of their earnings.

Letter From Dakota.
MAPLE GROVE, DAKOTA,
July 9th, 1875.

Editor Of The Grange Adrance:
Thinking perhaps, some who read
the ADVANCE might like to hear few
words from Dakota: " "the land of Biz
yards and Grasshoppe-s," (according to
a writer from the Happy Land of
Peace and Plenty, in his wayside notes
from Kenyon, Minn., ) so I will try and
write few words.
There are, I think, few people who
ever looked upon much prettier prai-
rie, than is found in Lincoln County,
Dakota. Just enough rolling to be dry,
and not enough so to be difficult to i'm
prove or cultivate. The marshes are
all built upon a foundation, and are
navigable for horses and wagons, in al
most any time or season.
This country, though yet new. pre-
sents a striking contrast when COM
pared with western Minnesota and

you may travel for miles without seeing
house or sign of habitation, especial

Iowa. As you come in sight of Dako-
ia, you are surprised at seeing thick

country, and as you cross the Big Sioux

that you have left the wild, uns ettled
West, and have found a place where
people dwell, and where you can find
food and shelter in case of necessity.
(The people here have little to eat, at
times, such as wild peas and onions for
instance.)
At present the crops are looking
splendid; the small grain is completely
headed and will soon whiten for the har-
vest, which promises to be abundant if
the grasshoppers do not destroy every
thing, as there is some prospect of their
doing. On two different days they were

The Old Mans Musings,
By MRS. A. BERTOLET.


The "queen o the sea" is my fairy
boat
On mem'ry's restless tide aAoat;
Afoat, and madly, without control
The waves Of thought roll Ger my soul,
Floating and drifting on mem'ryy's sea,
Ny fairy boat, 4 Bird as free
Sails to the realms Of by-gone yeats;
It's shores see thro' a mist of tears.
Thro' mist of tears its shores see,
For sad longing comes to me;
A longing that's akin to pain,
To live in the beautiful past again.
But, ah how quick we reach the shore
The gray haired mans a child once
more;
A child once more and with joyous tread.
live again the days that are dead.
The beautiful days Of long ago!
My heart is filed again with the glow
Of youth, and fondly I dream bright
dreams;
A mothers smile upon me beams,
But my childhood's thoughts and dream
sublime,
Garry me on to manhood's prime,
Thro' years of sunny skies, and fair,
Thro' years Of toll and years of care.
And now how swiftly my boat doth
glide
Backward on mem'ry's rushing tide,
Backward from childhood across life's
main
TO the present drear and lone again.
0, fairy beat I'd stay with thee;
Take me again DER memry's sea.
Sailing and drifting the silv'ry tide,
Afloat on thy waves love to ride.
