A GOOD SUGGESTION BY AN ENGLISH
SETTLER

An Englshman lately arrived in
NatOnWan county, Mimi, writes to
the Pioneer Press and Tribune a sensi-
bic letter on the prospects of farming
IN the Northwest, and says:
~ am one of a number of other Eng.
lishmen attracted to this state by the
glowing accounts published in the Eng
lish papers and distributed through
the length and breadth of our country
by the railway companies land agents.
On coming out here | find the land
everything to be desired, although
the price charged for it in England
(Sl6.50 an acre. is certainly much high
er than it can be bought for here.
However, here we are, and by your
permission will give my humble opin-
ion as an English farmer. as to
what ought to be done to make this
state one of the most prosperous states
in the union.
II have not heard yet that the grass
hOppers have taken to pig-eating and
what is more profitable than raising
pigs | have not yet seen one hundred
head of sheep in this neighborhood !;
aud what a profit may be made by
crossing with long-wooled English
sheep, and so producing or Spounds
per head, of wool, from one sheep.
which would of itself pay handsome
profit. At any rate let us give up this
grumbling, and do the best we can
with what God has given us land he
has provided abundantly) nOtwith-
standing the few drawbacks let US
make up our minds not to be beaten,
and we must win. | trust you viii
pardon my troubling you but really,
although have only been here a few
weeks, feel as if | had been born
here, so much kindness has been
shown me and all my English friends,
Why, sir, would YOU believe il, to
snow the bad feeling entertained bY
our cousins toward us, that when IL
was known that party of English
gentlemen and their families had ar.
rived, we were actually besieged from
morn till night with offers of teams,
buggies and wagons, free of charge,
and willing drivers to take as 10 any
pant of the country we wished To
see or examine farms for sale, on
simply pleasure. Thus we have been
met in the kindest possible manner
and ! only hope that this centennial
year will inauguate new era Of sue
cess for the beautiful state of Mime
sofa. This is the proper way 10 ~.
mind us of 100 years ago, by wei
coming us row with the same yigOr as
YOU repealed us then at any rate turn
your kindness into unkindness il YOU
will, you cannot help reminding as by
your every thought and every action
that We are both at least from one
common stock
II will revenge myself for all this by
planting a grove of centennial trees.
! trust, sir, that you will use your
powerful pen in advocating What
have stated above, and in a few years
we shall have 'Our gtate as prosper.
Gus as any in the union

The London Times says the appoint
ment OF Pierrepont to the mnbassadorship
here is probably intended to satisfy those
who demand high personal character rather
han party service and political skill as a
qualification for the Oftce, but II must be ad-
lnitted the appointment doesn't carry so dis
tinct a meaning as it would have done II year
ago, previous to Babcock's tnal, nor is it in
other WAYS so desirable as that OF Mr.. Dana.
The article concludes: "ln the Babcock az
