we desire to correct it. Our rea-

first, that ii contained one or two

we had heard curiosity expressed

than a slight reference to it, we
disclaim any such idea. In

THE Madison State Journal, in an
article on the work which will prob
ably come before the Legislature
during its present sessi on, has the
following onrailroad legislation:
Railroad legislation will no doubt
occupy some attention. On this
we trust complete justice will be
done to all parties. We have al
ways contenied that there Was an
indentty Of interest between the peo-
pie and the railroad companies. The
time has passed, when the people
can prosper without railroads, and
the business OF the roads depends
upon the prosperity OF the people.
Ii it can he clearly shown that our
laws OIL the subject of railroads, are
too stringent, or IN any way are op
presSive, they should be changed SO
al 10 be just. That this is The true
sentiment of the people, we have no
doubt. There is no disposition on their
part to deal unfairly with the rail
road companies; nor do we appre-
heud there will be any such disposition
on the part Of the comlng Legisla-
ture The Portage Register, in
speaking on this subject, very truly
says: "All classes of people are
getting more closely together on
this Important matter, and railroad
legislation, like all other legislation,
will be enacted in the future on the
principal OF exact justice To all, If the
dividing line can oe clearly ascer-
taiuea."
SO many portions of our state arc

structed that the people cannot afford
to have laws enacted that Will pre-

Announcement.

Superior Times, and to the great
Improvement in the business pros
poets of the country in general,
and also to the fact that, notwith-
standing the hard times, The Supe-
rior Times has proved a very pay
ing investment, we have concluded
to invest the large amount of its
surplus earnings in enlarging and
further improving the paper,
and hence, shall next week present
our readers with a six-c olumn sheet.
In addition to the Improvement Of
enlargement, first. class correspond
ent at Madison has been engaged
to report the proceedings of the
Legislature for the paper, and a
correspondent also engaged at
Washington, so that the readers of
THE TINES will not only be pre-
sented with an increased amount OF
news, but with the Legislative and
Congressional doingS, besides
large amount OF general news Of
the day.
In fact, as far as the means at
command will permit, we are deter
mined to make TIE TINES a first
class JOURNAL paper commensn-
rate with the demandsof such a live
and wide-aw AXE town AS Superior,
and Que in keeping with the intelti-
gehce and enlightment of the com
muiity.
Of course, to do this will require
no outlay Of time and money. No..
OF course not. In these days oil

the new subscription year of THE

February next, We shall not endeavor
to palm off on the good people Of
Superior and our subscribers in gen
eral, that old, played-out dodge of
publishers who annually tell their
readers that owing to the enormous
expenses of running the paper, ETC.,
etc, the subscribers of the paper
will be obliged to come down
promptly with their little two dol
lars in order to keep the concern
running. No, we are not doing
business ia thaoway. This publish
ing newspaper, making improve
ments i'll it, etc., ETC., is little philan-
thropic plan all our own, and we do
not ant or require any outside as
slstance, either pecuniary or other
wise
We have on foot, however, an
other benevolent plan in which we
are willing to receive assistance !;
and as it appeals not only to the
sympathy of the public, but also to
its selt-interest, we are in hopes
that it will meet with a generous
acceptance. Our plan, in brief, is
as follows:
Ayoung friend of ours, q very
worthy soldiers orphan, has been
very unsuccessful in business dur
ing the past year, and has at last
become so destitute that be is even
unable to pay for the very neces-
sarles of life. His case having re-

Aueedote Of a Ne,sfoundland Dog.

4 gentleman connected with the New
foandland fishery was once possessed of a
dog OF singular fidelit and sagaefty. On
one occasion n boat and Il crew IN his em-
ploy We're in circumstances of consider
able peril. just outside line of breakers,
which-owing to some change III wind or
weatller-latl. since the departure of the
boat, rendered the return passage through
them most hazardous. The spectators OH
the shore were quite unable to render any
assistance to their friends afloat. Much
time had been spent, and the danger seem
eel to increase rather than dimiuiSh. Our
friend, the dog, looked on for a length of
time, evidently aware of there being great
canse for anxiety in those around. Pres
emily, however. he took to the water, and
made his way through to the boat. The
crew supposed he wished to join them, and
made various attempts to induce him to
come aboard, but no he would not go
within their reach, but continued swim
sIning about a short distance from them.
After While, and several comments on
the conduct of the dog one of the hands
suddenly divined his apparent meaning !:
t'Give him the end OF a rope he said !;
s.that is what he wants. The rope was
thrown-the dog seized the end in an in
slant, turned round, and made straight
for the shore where a few minutes after
wards, boat and cTew-thanks to the intel
ligenee of their four-footed friend-weTe
placed safe and uudamaged. Was there
no reasoning here ? No acting with view
to an end, or for a given motives? Or was
it nothing but ordinary instinct?
