interior OF some of these wild and
swampy regions, in search OF the origin
of the singularly black, sulphutous pill
lar OF smoke which has. been seen to
arise from above the unexplorea forest
for years and years. Scientific men
have been unable to account for its ex-
istence, except upon the theory that it
marked the crater OF volcano or possi-
bly, the mouth OF burning petroleum
well.
The expedition tolled for weeks
through thickets and morasses, sinking
at times in mud or wading again through
deep bayous. They erected an observa-
tory, took bearings with the aid Of a
compass and faithfully followed the line
thus established, but all their efforts
were in vain, for they failed to discover
the source of the sulpnurous pillar. and
the expedition closed as it began-in
smoke.
The exploration, however, was not a
complete failure, for, in the midst of an
almost impenetrable swamp, where it
was presumed the foot Of man had never
before lett it's imprint, they came upon a
veritable craven image. 1t was stone
figure carved in the form OF man, majes-
tic and massive, and set up amidst these
forests and morasses, far from the
haunts of humanity. At its base num-
Der of curious hieroglyphics were dis
covered which will probably set our
archsologlsts wild again, and give them
more material for such wise reflections
as were indulged in by the sages of the
Pickwick Club over similarly myste-
rious inscription.

Ybe London Times editorial on the
unwilling OF the Burns statue in Glas.
voW by Lord Hampton may perhaps be
charged with some excess oil enthusl-
a ,m. as was natural under the circum-
stances; but it is, on the whole, both
malicious and calm. The comparison
of Burns and Scott is especially Well
timed, though this sentiment at the
close of it is not likely to meet
with unanimous assent: "Burns has
rendered his countrymen, and even
the world at large perhaps, a greater
service on the whole than Scott. The
IDEALS of Scott are delightful, but they
are ideals of the past. The thoughts
and the sentiments OF the characters de-
picted in his novels and tales can
never be revived, at least in those
points which constitute their peculiar
charm. But the life of which Burhs has
sung. the vivid play of action and
passion in his ballads, embody an ideal
which can at all times be aimed at
and approached.n The distinction be-
tween ideals Of the past and ideals oil
the present is more tanciful than real,
and the different degrees OF merit tor
treating one or the other can NOT be SO
easily stated. An examination of the
whole range of poetry will show how
poor thing it would be without the
| ideal of the past, and study OF history
| will confirm the opinion that ideals OF
| the past often have the most powerful
influence upon actions of the present.
That Walter Scott did more to form ma
tional sentiment than Burns is u propo-
sition that may be maintained with some
| show ofreason.

RE-DIsCovERY OF AMERICA.

While stanley pursues his course
through the wilds OF Africa, bearing the
banner OF journalistic enterprise and
providing the reading public with vol
luminous correspondence, which is no
doubt more sensational than reliable.
we observe that the Herald has set on
foot another exploring expedition OF a
very novel character. In this case they
have not sought to penetrate the I'M
known regions of another hemisphere,
or to master the mysteries of the frozen
zone, but, recognizing the fact that there
is very little. new, strange or startling
in nature which can not be found in our
own country, they have projected tour
of discovery through one of the sover-
eign States of the Union. Not by any
means one of those newly -fedged States
which have but lately emerged from the
territorial egg, but sedate and solemn
old State, well represented in the his
tory of our country, and especially con-
splcuous in the recent campaign as one
of the principal political battle.felds.
Florida was long ago regarded as the
fower-garden Of our continent, and
hither, in early days, came bands OF
credulous adventurers from foreign
shores in search of the tabled fountain
which should revivify the enfeebled and
rejuvenate the aged. What they sought
for and found not really exists to a GER
tain extent in the life-giving properties
which pertain to that region, and which
make its balmy air, redolent with the
odor OF orange blossoms, an elixir in
fact to the infrm of our own climate,
who are beginning to appreciate its vir.
tues and to follow in the trail Of
Ponce de Leon. There are portions OF
Florida of which we are as utterly igno-
rant as of the polar regions, and whose
explorers, if ever such there were, have
left no trace behind. These consist
chiefly OF cypress swamps, whose in
habitants are composed nearly entirely
of alIigators. moccasin snakes, rattle
snakes and vipers, which offer very little
encouragement to enterprising news
gatherers.

Independent Newspapers.

1t is becoming so common now
a-days to read about independent
newspapers" that we would like to
be informed what is meant by the
term. Is that newspaper, whose
editor conducts it solely to advance
his own interests, worthy to be CALL
ed independent ? Certainly not :;
for he will be influenced more or
less by selfish considerations, and
will take sides, on all questions, as
his interests may dictate. Such a
paper is likely to be a mere rehec-
ton of the opinions of its patrons,
and is generally careful to avoid the
discussions of all important, or, at
least, exciting, topics until time
enough has elapsed for the forma-
ton and expression of a popular
sentiment, which it then adopts and
claims for its own. Neither is that
class of newspapers whose charac-
tiers are opposite to that we have
just described deserving of the ap-
pellation of independent" Their
mission seems to consist in abusing
everything and everybody, and in
being generally disagreeable. They
are always portending evil; and, re-
versing Popes assertion, delight in
maintaining that whatever is is
wrong" Neither of these classes Of
papers, it seems to us, are capable
of accomplishing very much good,
nor are they really independent.

Revival Of Enterprise.

Last week we gave summary OF
the proceedings of a meeting held
on Saturday, Jan. 27th, for organlz-
ing a company to build a new flour
ing mill in this city. There is hard
ly doubt but that that enterprise
will be carried into successful oper-
alton. This week we notice the
initiatory movement for forming a
company for the manufacture Of
stoneware, and there is a strong
probability that it will develop into
a reality before spring opens
There are, also, strong indications
of the early creation of another
company for the erection in Red
Wing of a third steam Touring mill,
and it is matter Of talk in certain
circles that a company Of Red Wing
capitalists is likely to be organized
for the purchase Of one of the mills
at or near Cannon Falls.
We regard all these things as in
dications of a revival of business en-
terprlse during the coming season,
and because of such manifestations
in this locality, cannot avoid the
hope that they betoken a general
revival of business throughout the
country. The same causes inhu-
encing our local capitalists are op.
Grating elsewhere, in all probability,
and tending to induce capitalists
generally to invest in such business
industries as promise to pay in their
respective localities. That these
are favorable signs no one can doubt,
and the hope grows stronger that
the approaching season will bring
with it a return Of business prosper
ity, and that, ere its close, the labor
ing classes will be measurably lifted
out of the slough of dependency in
which they have been so deeply and
hopelessly plunged for the past two
or three years.
When this revival does set in we
hope to see several other manufac-
turing enterprises started in Red
Wing. There is no reason why all
sorts of agricultural machinery
should not be manufactured here,
cheaper than it can be imported,
and we have the material convenient
for many other articles of general
use. AS every factory started here
conduces to the advancement of the
general interests Of the community,
it is the duty of all to do their part
in securing the establishment in our
midst of every new industry.
