frances to. the new school rooms. The
room on the first floor above the base
ment is 81 by 81 feet, has capacious
wardrobes for the scholors' hats, cloaks,
&c., and is furnished with fifty-six sin
gle desks Of the Sherwood e. Co., pat
tern from Chicago. These are very
convenient but are, it seems to US, infe-
rior to the c. II. Roberts desk made in
Rochester in this State. On the second
shoor is a similar room for the high
school, 81 by 50 feet, and furnished
with sixty-five desks. In the third story
there is a recitation room Is by 80 feet,
room Is by Is feet for cabinet Of Gu
rlosities and phi'osophic apparatus, and
a room about y by so feet, which it
is not intended to finish at present, but
which will probably be used in the fu-
ture for library.
All the rooms, except the last men,
toned and those in the basement, are
handsomely finished and are fully equal
to any school-rooms we ever saw. The
two large ones viii each accommodate
a good many more desks than they now
contain, and have high ceilings and
look pleasant and healthy. This add.
ton, with the eight rooms in the old
building, will afford ample room for the
scholars now desiring admission to this
school, and constitutes our Central
School House one of the largest and
most convenient common school build
ings in the State.

The Central School Building.

The addition to the Central School
building was finished "on time" and
when we know the size of the build; g
and that the time was only sixty days,
it will be admitted that the contractor,
Mr.. D. G. Hill, deserves comuendation
for the promptness and despatch with
which he has performed his task. The
addition IS but on the east side of the
main building and extends back about
SO feet V tn width of 80 feet, being
three STOKES high above the basement.
1t is built of brick on a sod fou ida
ton of stone, and y throughout SUBJ
stantial aud durable. The stone work
was done by Messrs. Sevanson 4 Peter,
son; the brick-lay :ng by Messrs. Bril-,
Williams & Co.; the plastering by Mr..
Alex. Jarson, and the carpenter
work, painting, ETC., by Mr.. D. G. IT.,
who was the contractor for the ent;~e
work and ma lie the plars and gave it
general superintendent.
The entrances to this addition are
from both sides and from the hall which
extends through the main building. Az
these entrances open into hall about
twelve feet v de in which there i a
handsome roomy stairway extending
from the basement to the upper stories;

will open on the 18th instant with a
fair complement of students. Under
the management Of Rev. w. E. Stanley,
who is now its director and principal,
it is likely that it will continue to gaiu
in public confidence and that the time
is not far dist mt when it will be Il
hourishing and permanent establish
ment.
We notice that this property is al
ready rapidly coming into demand. Mr..
Gustave johnson has recently purchased
an entire block and surrounded it with
Il fence. lie intends to build unon it
next season. The editor OF this paper
has purchased lot there and only re-
srets his inability to buy an entire
block. A gentleman whose name we
id not learn bargained for lot yester
day, and we hear of several others who
contemplate buying. 1t is hardly likely
that the property would have remained
unsold to actual settlers so long rs it
has but for an imperfection in the title.
This fault is now remedied. The title,
which is now vested in Mrs. Harriet E.
Murphy, wife Of Capt. E. Murphy, of
Minneapolis, is entirely perfect and I'M
encountered, and as this fact becomes
generally known purchasers will soon
appear. B. B. Herbert, Esq, of this
city, is the agent for the sale of the
property and is Offering it at very rea-
sonable fgnres. If any of our readers
want good cheap residence sites in Red
Wing now is the time for them to secr"e
them. They will hardly find more desira
BILE property or any that will afford a safe
and more lucrative investment. This
combines convenience of distance, beau
ty, he:lthfu' ness and cheapness, all OF
which are and ought to be powerful a.
tractious to those wishing to purchase.
Famers who design to make their fu-
ture homes in the city will find it to
their intrest to secure lots in this addi-
ton now while they are cheap and
while selections of the choicest can be
made.

A Pointed Rebuke.

He was the pink of perfection. If
the cream Of human excellence was to
be churned the butter would lump up
in the shape of Professor Porteous Prye,
tutor. He had contracted the bad hab-
it of stealing up stairs, in his stocking
feet, to see ifthe lights were out at 10.
1t is hard teaching old dogs new tricks,
but boys sometimes succeed better with
old professors. Tommy Tayre is a ca,
daverous youth, with a sulphur-colored
mustache, but the iron had entered his
soul, and he said he must do what he
could. So he bought three papers Of
carpet tacks one night, and stood the
innocent little nails on their heads all
the way up and down the stairs and re-
tired with his faithful followers to the
wood closet above to await results.
Promptly the chapel bell struck 10,
then season of waiting and whisper
ing followed. Presently came furry,
creeping sound like wooden stockings
feeling their way over rough boards.
Tommy tucked his hat in his mouth
his mouth runs clear around, except a
small ithmus which connects the top of
his head with the nape of his neck
and held his nose till the first burst of
glee had subsidized. Now came a sup
pressed scream. one foot on the stairs;
then another foot down, then a scream
that wasn't suppressed; then howl,
he had struck the second stair; then he
sat down on the next step, but he got
up again, and a groan, with exclama-
ton points after it, came tearing up to
the wood closet. The boys stood back
to give Tommy room to kick. Then
came a scrabbling and shouting of
heavy words, and a distinct mention of
the name of the Gather of iniquity,"
and Tom promptly appeared and asked,
in voice fresh from the Valley of
Nod, "What seems to be the matter?
'Matter!" "The boys, the demonsl
eOnfound it; see here; help!"' and he
shifted about and hung to the railing,
and tried to stand on his knees. Tom
brought light, and the boys carried
the wounded man to lis room; offered
sympathy; got claw hammer and
drew out the tacks. Professor Prye
wears slippers and sits ON a cushion.
Tom sits on nettles, for seventeen boys
know the secret, and it is spreading
like smallpox in an Indian camp

Frequently We hear farmers complain
of their lot, but if they knew whsa
they were well off they would not do 50.
Any man who owns u farm and Is out
Of debt, is the most independent of
men. lizard times" has no power to
chill his feelings or cast a shadow
across his heart, he can at all times
have employment and need not bow
or eringe to any master; neither need
he be the slave of any. Dealing with
nature and natures God; how dignity
ing and enrolling the avOcatiOn in its
character, and it should be considered,
as it really is, the highest and most
satisfactory business, man can engage
in. A farmer may not always acquire
wealth, but he is always sure of a
competence, To the care-worn, brain
wrecked business man, there is moth
ing that looks so peaceful and enchant-
ing as lovely, well regulated farm
1t looks to him like a haven Of rest,
where the corroding cares and life sap
ping anxiety of city life are un-
known; a domain over which the
farmer is king, and where he may
enforce his will, undisputed by any
one. The true pleasure of a farmers
vocation consists in his close relation
to nature and in his possession of al
the rational enjOyments of life; as a
natural consequence, the higher his
culture the greater viii be his capacity
for deriving enjoyment. Hence a
farmer should be a scholar in the
broadest sense to fully draw from his
surroundings the happiness and tran
guilty that belong to the farmers
life.-Saerameato AgriesIflEia.

What . wicked Roy Bid.

A wicked boy caught a FREELY one
day and stuck it with mucilage on the
center of the largest tense of the tele-
scope in the Washington Observatory.
The astronomer perceived a blaze of
light, which died out at intervals, and
thinking he had discovered most ex-
traordinary star, he pronounced it "of
the third magnitude of Orion. He
telegraphed at an expense Of s., 500
all over the world, and the astrono-
mers gazed at Orion until they were
wild, and then telegraphed back to the
Professor for further information. In
the meantime his star had moved 49,
900, 000,0 900 miles I'M twenty-one
hours, and he perceived it actually
had legs! But on polishing his tense
he found the lightning bugl-then he
swore terribly-worse than sour army
in Flanders"-in fact they heard him
swear away down in Alexandria, sew
en- miles away. Since then he has
been looking for that boy; he wishes
to consult with him about something.

When We duly take all these things
into the account, the case Of our solar
system will appear as only one of a
thousand cases of evolution and disso-
luton with which the heavens furnish
us. Other stars, like our sun, have
undoubtedly started as vaporous mas
ses, and have thrown off planets in
contracting. The inference may seem
a bold one, but it after all involves no
other assumption than that of the con-
tinuity of natural phenomena. 1t is
not likely, therefore, that the solar sys-
tenn will forever be left to itself. Stars
which strongly gravitate toward each
other, while moving through a peren-
nially resisting medium, must in time
be drawn together. The collision of
an extinct sun with one of the Pleiades,
after this manner, would likely suffice
to generate even grander nebula
than the one which we started. Pos>
sibly the entire galactic system may,
in an inconceivably remote future, re-
model itself in this way, and possibly
the nebula from which our own group
of planets has been formed may have
owed its origin to the disintegration of
systems which had accomplished their
career in the depths of the bygone eter-
nity.-Atlantic MOnthlg.
