one trick needs great many more
to make it good.
We can hurrah for the Fourth
OF July and new paper at Duluth
about the same time. The press,
type and complete outfit for the pa
per have arrived, and are being ar
ranged in the old Minnesotian-
Herald office. Three papers at Du-
luth! Well, we can stand it if they
can.
To lend "a quarter" politely re-
auires considerable GOODNESS and
selfcontrol. To be slow and cere-
monious about it implies distrust;
to slap down the coin with "bang"
indicates irritation; while to search
all your pockets in succession con-
veys the impression that you will he
left penniless by the transgression.
A smiling, quiet promptness marks
the gentleman in this crisis.
Mr.. and Mrs Chas. Betcher left
on Monday for the Northern Pacific
country, to look at their land, and
the country generally, before decid-
ing whether to move out there or
not. They expected to be gone
some three weeks and TO take in
Minneapolis and ST. Paul on their
return trip.
The Indian scare among our
neighbors of Burnett county has
blown over. The poor devils of In
dams were worse scared than the
whites, and it is reported that they
have all left for "Lake Superior"
Perhaps they will arrive here in
time to take part in the coming To-
cal elections.
"A corps of Swans, Prof.
Winchell, State Geologist, at their
head, have commenced to make an
examination into the geology,n atur-
al history and botany of the coun-
ty bordering on and north Of Lake
Superior in Minnesota. Prof. Peck
ham of the State University, has in
connection with the survey opened
an assaying office at Grand Partage
for the convenience of explorers in
the region Whereabouts.
The government light house
supply steamer came up to Superior
entry on Wednesday and put off on
Minnesota pier lot of lumber and
materials for a light house to be
used in place of the old light. Men
are now at work constructing the
tower, which we are informed will be
fully as high as the old brick tower
heretofore used. We presume that
Commodore Saxton will attend the
new light from hispresent residence,
although it will give him quite a
walk, the distance between the
keepers residence and the end of
the pier being almost, if not quite, a
mile.
The 'little country paper" is
the best read paper in the world.
No other contains news Of the mar
riages and deaths, to say nothing of
divorces and births, no other relates
the accidents happening before the
doors of the villagers; no other
gives the time of the next ball, pic
nlc,or political meeting,no other dis
cusses the affairs of the town and
county the arrival ofnewgoods on the
merchants counters, or a new hat
on the editors desk. Without a
paper the town that has ever en-
joyed well managed one, feels in
deed lost. -Er.
