beginning to interest even the British pub
lis,. England is almost always q purchaser
| of provisions to supply her innumerable
manufacturing and mining populations.
She knows of the existence Of che vast
areas not yet touched in the Mississippi
valley. These areas she looks to filling
with her surplus populations, but she
shrewdly calculates first upon q means Of
vses her people to emigrate. These uncul-
tiyated fields are distant from the seaboard
about equally in east and west and north

them by lines running east and west, the
river by the meridianal direction. Make
the river sure and it is cheaper than any
railroad, and can never become q monopoly
to conspire against the producers. Make
the river once q perennial highway, con-
stantly bringing down the immense pro-

Emers0n's Daughter.

Writing OF the people who were to be
seen in the Capitol building in Washin gton
on certain very hot day, Mary Clemmer
says: "InrO the Congressional library
walked Emerson, one of the immortals,
and smiled his celestial smile, as if two
such things as mercury and the thermOme-
tor were not. His daughter Ellen by his
SIDE, and as she is the incarnation of COM
mon sense, she also was sublmely inditier-
emit to the weather. When this rare spirit
TAR be the day passes forever from mortal
sight. we shall hear more from this daugh
ter Ellen. For she, in all likelihood, will
be the executor of his papers and the de-
ilneator of that deep. still, inward life. It
IS memorable that the men who have
achieved the most in letters and in science
have always had woman standing close
beside them within the vail, as Carl Schurz
says in homely phrase: Handing them the
bricks while they build and holding up
their hands when they were weary. 1t has
Just come to light how much Sir William
Herschel owed to the tender and tireless
sister who, through q lifetime of nights,
stood by his side while others slept; who
polished till her hands grew numb the
mirrors which were to reflect back for him
immensely; who moderated her own
achievements that she might exalt his, and
as her clear vision swept the spheres shrank
from her own discovery of worlds, lest she
might prove a shadow on his fame. So the
great American seer has q woman walking
close BY his side, taking the very thoughts
from his mind and translating them for the
world; and this woman is his daughter.
