Boy DROWNED. = Charles McEutee,
aged thirteen, was drowned in the river
near the old Washington Mill yesterday
morning, while bathing. Young Mem
tee and a companion about his own age
went in swimming in the river about o
o'clock. McEatee waded 4 considerable
distance out into the stream, and getting
into deep water was carried by the strong
current beyond his depth. Being unable
to swim, he sank under the waves and
disappeared from the sight Of the other
boy, who ran 10 the shore and cried for
assistance. Il was too late, however, and
McEntee was seen no more until his body
was found, several hours laterli deep
hole just below the spot where be disap.
peared, and within ten feet Of the shore.
The unfortunate boy was son Of Patrick
McEntee, residing on Eof street, Eighth
Ward, and q brother Of Barney MeEntse,
the we'll known letter carrier. The body
Was taken 10 Barney's residence, 10 the

TEE WEST.

The present aspect of some of
the American people is like that OF
hungry dog, who having plenty Of
dinner before him; instead Of eating
it. will still continue to look for
toothsome morseIs upon q bone al
ready wel-yicked. One cannot but
be astonished at the conduct Of our
Eastern friends, particularly the
farmers, who year after year, con-
tiaue 10 waste their energies upon
an ungrateial soil, long since ex-
hausled, and worn out, when, al
most for the asking they can have
fresh, virgin land which has never
felt the ploughshare, and which
teens with fruitfulness. Certainly
it IS a thing 10 be wondered at, and
which has not failed to excite the
surprise of strangers. Tn the West
are thousands of miles of lands as
rich and fertile as were those Of the
East in their paImiest days. One
harvest is always ready awaiting
the hand Of the settler; and We have
read in the present weeks news Of
two men who, in one season, real
ized $50, goo, on their hay crop.
Young, men, and fathers Of fami-
lies are doing an injustice to them
selves and children by remaining
longer in such poverty stricken
land, when so bcauteous a field lies
open before them, Offering as it
does, pleasant home, an ndepen-
dent life, and lavish repayment for
the sweat of honest toll. The wide
West offers all this, and offers it al
such an easy consideration as TO
max i purchase seem ias in reaI ity
1t III grant. What q contrast

ing them with sculpture and paint
ings, but unless these interests are
largely recruited from the farm thev
will decay and those elegant bulld-
ings crumble into ruin. Trade and
commerce must seek new lands.
History is full of illustrations Of the
dangers Of these statements. | re
gard it, then, exceedingly fortunate
tor Wisconsin that, while she has
within her borders mines rich in
lead, zInc, iron and copper and mag
niticent and practically inexhausti-
bic timber; streams that invite
manufacturers to establish mills and
factories, yet, with all this, without
a soil and a climate adapted to the
cultivation Of grain and grasses her
past would have been less product
i've Of good and Aar future far less
promising. But | have detained
you, my friends, longer than | had
; longer, | think, than jus
tice requires. Permit me to say in
conclusion that | trust we shall all
be benefited by the experience and
lessons OF this fair; that we shall
all return to our homes with more
hope, more courage, more charity
aud more thanktulness for the ad-
vantages we enjoy and for the ben
etits arising from living in a State
where diversified industry can pros
per and where we have the ine>tl-
mable blessing Of a healthful eli
mate.

teachers will have to know some
thing, Their knowledge will have
to be real '1ive" knowledge, not
dead verbage; and they viii need
to know a good deal about the
natural, social and industrial life
that the children come in contact
with out of doors and at home.
Such knowledge is not to be gained
from books; and it is hard 10 turn a
book student into practical OBJ
server. We sincerely hope, how
ever, that the teachers OF Boston
will succeed in their difficult task,
and demonstrate to the rest Of the

there Is between the iaboring con-
dition in both places! thirds
Of the laboring class in New Eng
land waste their lives in those hot
beds of disease and corruption, tie
factories. Some families of four,
five and six members live upon the
insignificant pittance of one mans
labor. Others have al their chill
dren at work, from the emaciated
daughter Of seventeen, on whom the
factory has placed its inefaceable
mark, down TO the boy Of ten, whom
the fatEer, rather than lose the pal
try p cents a day, that the slow
killing Of his child affords him, per-
mitS, compels oftener to sap the
ground-work of his life by this pols-
onous confinement and toll. Think
Of this a moment; remember, the
picture is not in the least over
drawn; and contrast it with that of
the Western settler. Ills home, it
is true, is far removed from ciyiIiza-
ton and society; but he has given
it by, his daily care and toll, char
acter Of civilization, tone Of sylvan
enlightenment, which, when com
pared with that Of a former state
(he was once factory employee)
gains rather than loses by the com
parlson. As TO society, here also
he has the advantage Of his Eastern
friends, inasmach as he can make
his society more choice and exclu-
sive than that of the court of En-
gland. His children grow up with
no worse example before their eyes
than that which a loving mother
naturally gives her offspring, and
their young minds develop and
mould themselves without danger of
corr ption or taint. Is not the pic,
ture more pleasant? And does it
not seem surprising that a man
should grove5 in the former position,
when he might ",oqH erect, Gods
image" in the latter
The people are at last becoming
aware ofthe necessity of emigration,
Gt is really fast taking the form Of
a necessity and are slowly answer
ing the call, but we would have
them come faster. We would wish
to sea the broad west flooded with
immigrants, and this land, Gods
own grant, it would seem, answer
ing promptly, as it surely will, to
the iaborer's call tor bread.-W. -

Common Sense Ideas.

Extract from Gov. Smiths ad-
dress at the Northern Wisconsin
Fair:
Now, I tell you my friends here
to-day, that he who seeks to array
one class Of our people against an
other, is a common enemy. | be-
lieve that there can be no perman-
eut prosperity or enduring civiliza-
tion without q division OF labor and
l warn you here against him who
teaches or attempts to teach that
that there is any natural antagon-
ism betv cen a man who labors with
force IN his shop or on his land, and
the one who labors in his store, in
his Office or in his counting room:
between the employer and his en-
p.oyer, each Of whom are necessary
in the economy of nature, for the
attainmeuts Of the best results. As
we'll could the hand say to the head
I have no need for thee or to the
heart or to the foot I have 10 need
or thee, a. for any one to say | can
prosper without YOU
The fact, my friends, whether we
admit it or not, we are all depend
ent. The roots and Gbers of moral,
Intelligence and political being,
branch and spread through al the
latitudes and longitudes of society,
SO that the prosperity of one is the
prosperity OF all; and calamities are
not confined to the individuals, to
the classes and occupations upou
which they first infringe. You will
not expect me on this occasion to
enter into a discussion Of the many
interesting questions connected
with practical farming. | believe,
however, that agriculture Is the
most important Of ali our industries,
not only IS giving employment to
the greatest number of individuals,
and as utilizing, in the aggregate,
the largest amount OF capital, but
because upon its success depends
very largely the success Of all 9th
er industries.
Without agriculture, and | may
add without enlightened, progress
siye agriculture, without farmers
who realize that farming is both q
science and an art, vino are willing

& Soil Which is Gold Nine and a
Perfect Climate.


Letter in Boston Herald
The new city Of Emerson is peo-
pied with immi grants from the old
er Canadian provinces and chiefly
from Ontario. I talked with several
and found that they were delighted
with their prospects. The land is
superlatively fertile, the soil being a
black mould which Is never less
than two feet deep. Grain grows
luxuriantly, as much as fifty bush
els Of wheat to the acre being no
uncommon yield. Vegetables -four
ish and attain gigantic proportions.
l saw cucumber grown not far
from here which was six feet and
half long, Indeed, the most strik-
ing proof and Illustration OF the fer
tility Of the soil is supplied by the
land which the halfbreeds have
cultivated. I saw a crop of wheat
yielding twenty-five bushels 10 the
acre growing on ground whereon
wheat had been grown for sixty
years in succession. Such land,
properly cultivated, would prove q
yeritable gold mine. The airi8 light
and exhiIerating, in the hottest part
of summer the evenings are cool,
and a blanket can always be borne
in bed. l can speak of the winter
climate from hearsay only, yet all
those persons who have wintered
here speak of the climate in terms
Of high praise. Mr.. Taylor, the
United States consul, who has
lived in Winnipeg for six years,
confirmed to me all that have
heard from the natives in favor of
the winter climate. Perhaps the
best proof Of good health which I
saw was the closing Of a large drug
gist's store on account of insufficient
custom.
