And if you cannot ret

you can find. And if you cannot get
back again, either ON account Of means
or pride, you end your days in discon-
contentment, or travel further and keep
getting worse. Ifyou are missionary
or lecturer or genuine business man,
1t may do to travel. No one is glad to
leave his home and friends unless he
has committed some misdemeanor, and
then he is not really happy in going.
The United States is large country,
we admit, and there is land for all.
But If any one can show US healthier
and better country than Minnesota
and Wisconsin we would thank them
very much. Thousands have sought it
in vain.
1t may be some trouble to us to get
tropicals fruits, but let US be satisfied.
We have white bread to eat, a luxury
that many in the warmer countries do
not get. Every person to their liking
however. We have less diseases than
any other country on the globe.
Red Wing is not going to Philadel-
phia to see the Centennial. We knew
it. Are we going to pine for the check

stream, when we have grander place
and the Mississippi is as noted as the
Delaware. We have no bays of great
size, but We have lakes. We may not
boast Of seeing ships, but we can boast
of seeing wheat fields and Minnesota
has some crops that Pennsylvania might
be proud Of.
Coyler & Co. have bought Mr.. Stone

B. F. Way is trimming his grove

The following IRE from letter OF
our Bay City correspondent, received
last week too late for insertion:
The recent rains caused the water in
the Isabelle to rise to such an extent as
to carry away the mill-dam at Sleeper's
mill, and undermine the miller's house.
Fears were entertained that we should
lose our bridge, but the water subsided
leaving the bridge, but taking away a
portion ofthe road. Your correspond
ent, "Jack Cage" in his article on ''Hope
and Faith" forgot to mention our sub
urb. Now town without suburb is
just no town at oil, and don't see why
his memory failed him in that, when it
was so clear in other matters pertaining
to the welfare of our town. There are
some spots upon which the eye delights
to dwell, and our suburbs contain some
of those favored spots.
Honey-bees have made the most of
the plum trees. Speaking of bees, it
seems strange that farmers don't keep
mo:e bees; they are the most profitable
things on farm. Give them a hive and
they will furnish themselves with all
the requisites Of life, and you one Of the
sweetest of all luxuries. A great
many will say II cant keep bees, it hurts
me so to get stung. Experience tells
US that there are but few kinds Of bust
ness in which a person does not get
stung sometimes, and the hurt there
from generally lasts longer than from
the sting Of bee. For ourself, we
rather take care of u hundred pounds Of
honey, than q hundred pounds Of but
ter, or even fifty, and the price Of either
is about the same,

That New Washer,

IL is all they claim and more, as we
believed it would be. We have just seen
Messrs. Harrington & Garvin do big
washing with their Hawley's Improved
Double Agitating Washing Machine.
The clothes had been put in soak the
night before, the dirtiest places being
soaped and rubbed lightly. The clothes
were taken from this water wrung out
and placed loosely in tub, the dirty
spots being again soaped and rubbed
slightly with the hands. When the tub
was about two-thirds full, common
wash boiler full Of boiling water was
poured over them and some soap chip.
ped up finely was placed in the tub.
The machine was then brought into
use, and after about ten minutes prac.
tice with it at an easy rate Of speed.
The clothes were wrung out and plac ed
loosely in an empty tub. The remain
der of the soaked clothes were then
placed in the tub in the subs from which
the first batch had been taken and the
machine was used upon them about
twelve minutes, a little boiling water
and fresh supply Of Clipped soap hav-
ing been first introduced. They were
then wrung out and placed in the tub
with the first batch and in clothes
basket-the tub not being large enough
to hold them all.
The dirty suds were then thrown
away, and the tub was again filed about
two-thirds full Of clothes, over which a
fresh installment of boiling water was
poured and a little soap being added, the
washer was again brought into requisi-
ton for the space of five minutes
The clothes were then wrung out and
placed in the empty tub for rinsing, and
the second batch was put in the suds,
washed about five minutes, and wrung
out for rinsing.
We did not count the pieces of cloth
ing, but they filed large tub two thirds
full twice, and comprised the usual va
riety ola family washing, including a
bed-quilt, sheets, socks, collars, shirts,
&C., audit occupied just about As min
utes to take them all from the soaking
water and place them in the tub for
rinsing, and that, too without any effort
to hurry, and including the delay Of
emptying suds, chipping the soap, &C.,
and, then, there was no hard work, no
bending over the steaming suds, no lift
ing the boiling clothes from the boiler,
and no wearing of the clothes by rub
bling; and the clothes were washed thor
oughly and entirely clean. Our readers
may rely upon it that this machine
makes washing an easy task, and is
cheap, durable and economical. Its
price is onl y flee dollars! 1t can be
seen at Nelson & Peterson's hardware
store.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
-
The Bill 10 Restore Persons Stricken
from the Pension List Defeated.
H~
Col. Broadhead as q Democratic Candl.
date for President.
Old Campaign Machinery feared up by
Republican Party Managers.
A General Reorganization OF the Cab
lnet Currently Reported.

WASHINGTON, February 20. - The
Republican Senators caucussed to. day
over the bill to restore persons stricken
rom the pension rolls for disloyalty
The caucus decided that as the bill al
lows payment Of arrearages for four.
teen or fifteen years, amounting to
several million dollars, II ought not to
pass In the present condition of the
treasury. This action will defeat the
bill in the Senate.
The acquittal of Babcock has renew
ed the reports that, notwithstanding
contrary assurances, Grant will find n
way to get both Wilson aud Bristow
out, the prevalent impression seeming
that he will escape the apprehended
III effect in New Hampshire by gem
eral reorganization of the Cabinet, 80
that 1t can be said that Bristow's re.
moval was not in consequence of the
whisky business.
AT the dinner given the Louisville
delegation by the st. Louis delegation,
Governor Magollin, of Kentucky, pro-
posed Colonel Broadhead for Demo-
I'M, AnIn Nr,a ate for President, and the
fact becoming known has been COM
mon talk in hotel Hobbies. The sug-
gestion is received as happy, and many
people say he would be much more
available candidate than Judge Davis.
All reports connecting the name OF
Attorney General Plerrepont with the
mission to England are erroneous.
Judge Pierrepont says that he would
not on any condition leave this coun-
try during the Centennial year, or
while so important a political canvas,
as will engage universal attention is
pending. Equally incorrect have been
the rumors that Secretary Fish will
succeed General Schenck.
The Republican party managers
have got most of their old campaign
machinery geared up, and they are
making desperate effort to start of
the Centennial year with victory in
New Hampshire. All the old tricks
are being repeated, and that State is
fast being flooded with choice political
literature, prepared under the supervi-
sion Of Mr.. Postmaster Edmunds of
this city, secretary of the Republican
Congressional Committee. Being
Postmaster he enjoys excellent oppor-
tunities for assisting in the circulation
of campaign documents.
