amongst which is the "Acorn Cook, I"
manufactured by that prince Of stove
makers, Nh. John F. Rathbon, of AL
bany, N. Y. Here is, also, the Quincy,
ILL.,, stove, made by Messrs. Collins,
Comstock & Co., Of Missouri iron,
which has the credit of being the tough
est cast iron known. A half dozen other
varieties are, also, amongst this lot.
Next in attractiveness is the array Of
plows, embracing all the most popular
patterns, and then come Cultivators,
and other Agricultural implements,
pumps, churns, wooden ware Of all sorts,
and full line Of wagon makers stock.
MIR. Baker, also, keeps wagons on sale,
combining himself chiefly to those man.
ufactured in this city, first, because
they are known to be as good and cheap
as can be obtained, and, secondly, from
desire to patronize and encourage
home manufactures; but to accommo-
date the general trade he likewise deals
in the Milburn wagon.
Among desirable new inventions inclu
ded in his stock is Combined Victor
Wringer and Wash Bench. This may
be folded up and stored away in a cor
ner, but when in use lisa convenient
bench for holding two wash tubs, be-
tween which rises the wringer to
convenient height made in the usual
form and always ready for use. The
rollers are of white rubber and the
frame is made very strong, and instead
of the usual springs and thumb-screws,
lever to be worked by the foot is at
.tached to the upper roller, and for every
pound Of weight applied to it thirteen
pounds of pressure upon the clothes pass
ing between the rollers is obtained.
The price of this valuable article is only
$l0-but So more than that Of the or
binary wringer.
On the third floor, besides various
agricultural implements, &C., stored
there, is one of the largest and most
complete tin-shops in the West. Here
is every variety of tool and machine
used in the tinsmithiug art, and work
men who understand their use so thor
oughly that they are competent to do all
sorts of work in tin, sheet iron, copper
and brass which falls within the prov
ince Of the special craft.
In addition to the lines of business
we have already mentioned, Mr.. Baker
is the agent for the genuine Fairbanks
scales and keeps on hand full line;
and, also, for the j. I. Case & Co. horse
power and steam threshers, and Mr..
z. W. Brooks, the well-known and popu-
lar agent for Mccormick farm machin
ery, has his Office in this establishment,
though his business is entirely separate.

TWELVE days from now, on the 22d,
and Odd insts., DR.. H. S. Humphrey
makes his May visit to Red Wing, to
give those who desire to consult him an
opportunity to do so, without expense.
This is favor that ought to be appre-
ciated by such As are afflicted with
chronic diseases and deformities likely
to be relieved by surgery. The Doctor
is a thoroughly educated and competent
physician and his opinions as to the cura-
bility Of diseases are worthy Of conf
dence. His consultations are gratuit-
Gus and if treatment at his establish
ment in Eau Claire is desired it can be
had at less cost than almost anywhere
else.
MEssRs. LAWRENCE h Co. have a
/ very extensive and we'll assorted stock
of wall paper and window hangings,
embracing nearly everything in this
line, and we are glad to add that they
are meeting with the liberal patronage
which their enterprise and true bust
ness qualifications entitle them to ex-
pect. Their assortment Of plain and
fancy stationery is also very large and
complete, and they have, likewise,
full stock of wrapping papers. Among
recent additions to their business is
full supply of legal blanks, comprising
every variety, for which they have just
finished handsome and convenient
case.
We understand that the prospect of
the Red Wing Manufacturing Company
perfecting its organization and entering
upon the labors this summer is now
assured, and that an understanding has
been established with Messrs. Dewey to
undertake the manufacture of their new
patented harvester. 1t is hardly posi-
bic for it to complete arrangements this
summer for carrying on the business as
extensively as is proposed, but if a be-
ginning is fairly made, we may rest salts
fed that the full development Of the bus
mess will not be delayed, for it will GER
tainly prove sufficiently profitable to
influence its proprietors to make needed
engagements and improvements as soon
as practicable. And we believe that
the establishment of this factory here
will soon lead to others being started,
until Red Wing becomes to be recog-
nized as one of the most important man.
ufacturing cities of Minnesota. We
hope that such will be the case, for
with the growth Of manufactures here
will come a general advancement in bus
mess and increase Of wealth.

A SrrpY.-What an interesting
scene il is for one who delights in
the study of human nature to stand
in one of the gambling palaces of
Virginia City, and watch carefully
the different types of humanity who
pass to and fro. Some enter with a
hardened look in their eyes and a
determination of man that plainly
saws, Il am a free man, and will do
as please; if ! lose my money it's
NV loss" Others come In with a
soft, stealthy step, as though they
feared some one would see them
whose respect they valued; or may
be their conscience makes towards
of them, which they strive to. over
come by the cupidity of their
natures. One man will enter with
a quick, nervous step, assuming the
air of business man, who has big
bill to collect from the menagerie
keeper, and ouly few minutes II
do it in. But he generally fingers
around the board uatil his money
is gone. The professional gambler
walks in with an air OF perfect in
difference, a look of ownership.
that is only acquired by years Of
intercourse with such scenes. The
youth just commencing to gamble,
is timid; he stands on the outside
of tie crowd which generally sur
round the table, fumbling his four
bit piece, until he imagines he has

with quick move, places it on the
card while an expectant look APP

The Central Pacific Railroad-in
short, the entire route through to
Omaha-could scarcely have been a
worse selection with respect to
weather. 1t must always remain a
most expensive and vexatious route
to operate. The protection against
snow is costly, fragile and danger
GUS. When one thinks of the mar
row escapes OF passenger trains.
during the snow storms IN the
Sierras, il is enough to make the
most resolute shudder at the awful
nature of the situation. The North
ern Pacific route, If the engineers
are to be believed, will be com
paratively free from the danger and
Instructions incident to this great
Central highway across the CONT
pent. But be that as it may, there
will be road Constructed sooner
or later on line so far south as to
be perpetually free from the annoy
ances and dangers in question. 1t
is a pressing want of the whole
people, and cannot be STAYED off
much longer. The very elements,
for several months every year, pro-
claim its necessity to all the world,
and neither tine-serying politicians
nor a strongly entrenched opposi-
ton can arrest the strong and 4
rapidly growing sentiment in its |
favor. Locally, of course, we of /
Nevada must endure what can't |
we'll be cured, for an indefinite |
period.

As TO the Presidential outlook, so
far as the aspirants and the nomina-
ton are concerned, II is more and
more a case of 9uien saoe. For
awhile past We considered Blaines
chances first on the list on the Re
publican side, and while he has done
nothing to damage his reputation, we
somehow feel that Bristow stock has
been rising until We are of the belief
that he world average the strongest
candidate before the people. OF all
the usual list of names mentioned on
the Republican side, we believe Min
lister Wsshbarne would make the best
President. We cannot think seriously
of Morton or Conkling in that con-
nection, yet they are more active in
the matter, if possible. than Blaine,
whose movements are the special OBJ
ject of attack on the part of the oppo-
sition. tits ''as good as play" to
watch Blaine pose and thrust and
parry in the Congressional arena
at least il looks that way in print
Regarding the candidate of the De-
mocracy, he is also IA widdle which
y, fellsh can find OUT: but of one
thing we feel certain, that the lattel
party will find more difficulty in har
monizing on the financial question
than the Republicans. Surely moth
ing can happen between now and tn
adjournment Of Congress and the as
sembling Of the conventions to heart
lily unite the Tilden and the Allan
itss, and, altogether, the Republican
have q better record for unearthin,
corruption than the Democrats. Wer
standard bearers of the respectiv
hosts as clearly defined on the hori
zon as the platforms, the campaig
would be fairly outlined in all essen

A New Railroad in Embryo.

While crossing over the Sierras
lately. the writer of this overheard
some San Francisco parties, largely
interested in the mines of Esmer-
elda-Columbus psrticulariy-dls-
cussing the feasibility and mani
fold advantages of railroad connec-
ton with the Central Pacific at
Wadsworth. Upon interviewing
them directly upon the subject, we
were assured that the snug sum OF
$500 600 could be counted upon for
a beginning. and the impression
was conveyed that definite measures
were on the eve of contamination
for commencing the work. Al
though we have not been over the
route from Wadswerth south, as
proposed, it is our belief that a
railroad could be constructed down
to Columbus and beyond, on grade
comparatively cheap.
The advantages of such a road to
Lyon County could hardly be over
estimated. 1t would doubtless
traverse the entire length of 1t, and
strike into Esmerelda along one
side or the other of Walker Lake,
and what with the mining, grazing
and agricultural interests, even as
at present developed. the road could
not but pay from the moment of Its
completion. OF course this would
interfere with the talkedof extern
sion of the Virginia X Truckee, to
Columbus, from a point between
here and Carson-the Mound House
for instance.
1t is evident, however, that there
is pressing want for more salts
factory communication with the
outside world, on the part of the
people south of here, and II they
cannot get it one way soon, they
will have it by another, and We
consider it our legitimate province
to set forth every item OF interest IN
that connection. The more rail
roads We have, especially if they
tend to permanently cheaper trans
portation, and develop the country
through which they pass, the bet
ter. If capital. moreover, is will
ing to construct them Independent
of subsidy, let US not grumble
about the details of location. but
extend them broad welcome The !
day is not far distant when cross
connection by rail will be effected I
on the line hugging the eastern !
wall of the Sierras, between the |
Central Pacific and east and west /,
roads on the south. II will be the /
cheaper and more reliable route to |
tide water for ores and freight OF (
all kinds.
