Going up to Sleepy Eye, Wednesday morn
ing, our reporter had the pleasure of listen
ing to w. L. Breckenridge, ESQ.,, relating to
his friends some of the incidents that &C.
CURED on his trip South. Speaking about
Florida, he made the remark that he would
rather live in Minnesota with grasshoppers
every year, than to be there, and went on,
cone morning I started out from
Spring Cove on the st. Johns and
thought would take walk into the coun-
try. I had got along about two miles
and could see nothing, but sand and white
pine. stopped and thought I would re-
turn to town. Presently, two men came
sauntering along, one of them was fully as
tall as am, but not SO heavy built and
about sixty years of age. The other one
was younger. spoke to the elder of the
two and told him that would like to make
few inquiries in regard to the country.

The Sixtieth Annual Grand Com
munication of the Masons of Missis-
sinpi. convened in this place on
Tuesday, the 9Th inst. Much bust
ness of interest to the craft was
transacted. The principal question
before the house, was the plan to
organize a Widows and Orphans

proposition to amend the constltu
ton so as to have biennial sessions
of the Grand Lodge, was defeated.
Grand Lodge ordered it's early pro-
ceedings to be printed. Among the
distinguished Masons in attendance,
were Past Grand Master H0Wrey

Wheeler, of Tennessee. A unanl-

The Death of the Pope.

N. Y. Sun, Feb. 8
Pope Plus TX. died at three min>
ntes before five o'clock yesterday
afternoon, in Rome, in the eighty
sixth year of his age and the thirty
second year of his papacy. The
events of his career are detailed in
another part of this paper and it is
safe to say that as none of his pre-
decessors equalled him in the dura~
alton of his reign, so none of them
witnessed events of equal impor>
lance either in the history of the
Church or of mankind.
Yet, in our judgement, the most
remarkable fact IN this long, labor
ious, and devoted life is that while
the deceased POntiff leaves the
Church shorn of her territories and
her temporal power, he yet leaves
her with a firmer hold than ever
upon the minds and healts of the
almost countless myriads who belong
to her communion. She is less an
earthly kingdom, but none the less
pow erful as church.
According to tho established
usage of the Church, the conclave
of Cardinals fer the election of
new Pope will meet on the tenth
day from yesterday, namely, on the
18th of the present month but it
has been alleged that some months
ago Plus TX. provided for a more
expeditions election to take place
Immediately after his decease, with
view especially of avoiding active
interference on the part of the Ital-
ian and German Governments.
Very probably, however, this is
mere idle rumOr, and the election
will not be hurried OH from any such
reason. But what is certain is that
in the present critical state of
Europe, political consequences of
great moment may depend upon
this election and their development
may possibly be both rapid and
tremendous.

In the Death of Pope Plus the
Ninth the Catholic Church has lost
one of its greatest and most intel
lectual pOntiffs, and a man has pass.
ed from the living lists of the world
whose like we shall scarcely see
again.
Plus the Ninth was eminently
great. He stands out in bold relief
a.Ong the pictured chancels of the
old church's sanctuary, clearly de-
fined as cameo stone, for courage,
benevOlence and wisdom. As a
prelate he was holy, devout and sin
cere; as pontiff he was discreet in
judgement, provitlent in his wisdom
and direct and successful in action.
His character was a perfect exhibit
OF unity and fixity. There was no
more of INDIGESTION in bis will than
skepticism in his mind. And there
IN was the sublime secret OF his sue
cess. All men pay homage to the
memory of this great, good man.
Under his temporal rule he struck
swift and deadly blows at the abus-
es in and about Rome. He put be-
hind him the dead waste of the past
that still remained, and with inteili
gent liberality exercised his tempo
raj authority over the Eternal City
in measures of benevolence and pro-
gress. Plus the Ninth goes down to
his grave revered and beloved by
those of the religion whose head he
was, and respected by all men alto
gether. His was the strongly indi
vidualized character that compelled
respect, while it won love.
He was a priest, prince and a
gentleman.

We agree with our contemporary
d: the Vicksburg Herald when, in
h"iiring proposition recently made
in tn. Louisiana Legislature to re-
tluce the salary of the Governor of

sippi Legislature showed DISPOSE
iion to reduce our Governors salary

Mississippi who isn't worth $4,000,
isn't worth cent; the picayuners

of making Offices of such vast i'm
portance cheap, cheap, is the mis-
take of very small demagOgues."

DR.. Compton indicated.

The House Committee appointed
to investigate certain charges pres
ferred against DR.. w. NJ. Compton,
Supt. OF Miss. Insane Asylum, by
George T. Hackley, an ex>employee
Of that institution, made Il lengthy
report to the House. last Tuesday.
The Committee fully exonerate
the Supt. on the several charges
made by Hackley, and declare the
charges TO be totally unfounded and
purely malicious. This will be no
surprise to any one who knows DR..
Compton. 1t is just what bis friends
confidently expected. Should Gov.
Stone send to the Senate the name
of VIM. NJ. Compton, to serve an
other term as Supt. of the Mississip
pi Insane Asylum, he will thereby
confer a well>merited reward upon
a faithful, capable and long>tried
public servant. We append the
closing paragraphs of the Commit
tees report:
"Your committee examined a
large number of the employees of
the Asylum, and could learn of no
ire gularities or misconduct on the
part of any official. The manage
ment and regulations of the Institu-
ton are admirable, and show that
they are under perfect, watchfUl
and intelligent supervision. The
patients all display great affection
for their physician and his assistant.
"In conclusion, your committee
are of the unanimous opinion that
none of the charges contained in
Hackley's card are sustained. =
Mr. Hackley's communication, on
his own showing, was not actudted
by wish to correct abuses in the
management of the Asylum, but
sprung from a wish to injure the
man who had discharged him. 1t
is to be regretted that an officer by
the discharging of the duties of
such a position, should be subject
to groundless and malicious attacks.
The efficiency of the officer, from
the very nature of things, depends
largely upon a fearless exercise of
his duty. If a discharged subordi-
nate can, by reckless charges, SUBJ
ject him to suspicion and fear, the
efficient exercise OF his Office is en-
dangered. On the other hand, the
Board of Trustees should be clothed
with large supervisory powers, and
every means used to secure prompt
reports of misconduct on the part
of any official"

Let the ladies read what an ex.
change says:
The mysteries of feminineapparel,
as displayed in the elaborate make
up of the girl of the period, richly
deserves to be put down as the
eighth wonder of the world. Why
women should have a yard or more
of costly goods trailing along in the
mud behind them as they walk the
S reefs, is something more than an
enigma to US, since 1t suggests to
our mind the unpleasant suspicion
that such women are either insane,
or are cursed with boxed ANGLES
and big feet. Why should women
go crazy over striped stockings I?
Is it piece of frugality prompted
by wish to save bit of expense
in the monthly washing bill, by
wearing stockings that will hide
dirt 2 Women with legs striped
like a zebra, certainly present a
bizarre appearance and remind one
of the garb worn by the convicts in
prison. The style of feminine dress
sometimes produces odd and nm
looked for results. A girl has been
born in Nebraska with hut one leg,
and that is striped as high as stock
ings are worn, and fears are enter
tanned that the present narrowness
of the feminine skirt will result in
producing a race of women with but
a single leg. The bare thought of
such result of the habit of wearing
narrow skirts, is enough to take
man off of his own legs.

A Washington special of last
Tuesday says.
In view of the possibility of an ex
ecutive veto of the silver bill, the
property of adding the bill as an
amendment to the Civil Legislative
Appropriation Bill is much discuss
ed. There are recent precedents for
This lie of action. 1t is argued
that the exercise of the veto in this

plated by the trainers of the Con-
s'itutiOn. The feeling of the friends

The situation in the East is more
critical to-day than at any time
srnge the war between Turkey and
Russia commenced. Turkey has
positively refused to allow the Brit
iEh fleet to pass tho Dardanelles.
and it Is even stated that the Turk
ish commanders have received
orders to fire on the fleet should the
passage be attempted. 1t is more
than probable that it will be at
tempted and that the clear and
explicit orders sent to Admiral
Horribly were to this effect. As
Turkeys determination not to let
the feet pass is doubtless based
npon the agreement with Russia to
that effect, in consideration OF the
Russian forces not occupying Cons
NtantInople, Russia may relieve
Turkey from the embarrassment of
the situation by at once taking
possession of the Turkish capital.
She has expressed her determines
ton to do this as soon as the En-,
gliSh feet has passed the Dardan
tlleS, and being convinced that the
English iron Clads could force a
passage in spite of Turkey, may
cohclhde to take the step without
waiting for the fleet. The very sim
gular phase of the present situation
is the undoubted fact that Russia
and Turkey are acting with per-
feet understanding of each others
movements.

Railroading Through the Clouds.

It is one of the pleasantest Of brief
jaunts imaginable to make trip
from any point on the Denver & Rio
Grande road to Garland and return.
1t can be made from Denver and re-
turn in two days, leaving Denver in
the morning and returning the next
evening. From Colorado Springs it
is still more desirable, leaving the
Springs one morning at eleven O.
clock, and returning the following
afternoon at four. The time from
Canon City is about the same, while
from Pueblo it is made in a halliday
Gather way. On the round trip one
has the sunset effects on the ascent
of the pass, and the sunrise on the
descent. The way down is some
more thrilling than the ascent, the
train crawling around the cliff faces,
clinging to the rocks, and, as it
seems, fairly hanging on to the will
lows; hunting each little hollow to
its head, then swinging to the right
and balancing gingerly out upon the
point until the pilot peeps over the
brink, and the engine shakes it's
cinders into the gorge below. Be-
tween two strata Of clouds the train
moves silently and steadily, and the
Spanish Peaks look as if their base
rested upon the cloud line. The up
per clouds are torn and rifted, and
the sun shoots its glowing rays
through and down upon the second
stratum ofclouds thousand feet be-
low, penetrating to one-third their
depth, and giving them the appear
ance of snow covered plain.

THE LUMBER MONOPOLY.

The Minneapolis end Of the Pio-
neer Press is doing the public avalu-
able service in exposing the great
lumber monopoly The heavy adj
vance on prices Of all kinds Of lumb-
Ter by the manufactures, is nothing
more or less than tax levied upon
the people for no other cause than
to fill the pockets ofspeculators. 1t
appears that the manufactures Of
Minneapolis, Saltwater, St. Paul,
most Of the leading lumber dealers Of
Wisconsin, have combined to put
up prices. One Of the first results
of this unreasonable advance in
prices is the suspension Of contemp.
lated building enterprises all through
Minnesota and N orthern Iowa. The
second, is the transfer Of a very con-
siderable portion Of the lumber trade
from Minneapolis to Chicago, there
being a difference Of some 50 on a
thousand in favor of the Chicago
market. The third result will be
the permanent loss to Minneapolis
Of a valuable portion of her lumber
trade, unless this grand mistake is
soon corrected by areturn to reason
able rates. Glencoe Registey.

An Important Iowa Decision.
MarshalEown Special.

MarshalAoWn Special.
The supreme court Of Iowa has
just decided very Important case,
taken up from this county, which
involves large amount of money in
this city and is Of great Importance,
to not only many portions Of Iowa,
but the country at large. The ques-
ton involved is one that has been
differently decided in different States.
The case was one against the Hawk
eye Benefit and loan Association,
the loaner pleading usury against a
procedure for foreclosure. The asso-
citation is upon the same plan as all
these mutual benefit, aid, building
and loan associations. The court
has held the loans over ten per cent.
to be usurious, and requires an &C
count to be taken; and if he has paid
in on dues, or in any manner, more
than the money received and ten per
cent. interest, it is usurious, and the
association cannot recover.
