Rev. Sheldon jackson, the secretary
of the Presbyterian board Of home
missions, preached at the First Pres
byterian church last evening to large
audience. Among other things he
said: "The word Alaska means great
land, and is properly so called. Il has
a coast line OF 25 900 miles. it is won :
derful in its natural phenomena, it has
the highest mountains and most active
volcanoes on the continent, its glaciers
are wonderful, one is fifty miles long
and about six miles wide. Medical
springs are numerous and have great
curative properties. Most Of our cit.
izens consider Alaska as baraen pur-
chase, and that Russia got all it was
worthy when the United States paid
81. 100000 for it. Capitalists encour-
age this idea SO as to continue in con :
troll Of the immense resources Of the
country. This tur interest alone has
paid the government for leases over
S2.0O0.0O0 since the purchase. and
large sums have also been obtained
from the fishsries. lumber and mineral
resources. Part of Alaska is cold, be-
ing in the Artic region, but all along
the coast it is as mild aud regular as
in St. Louis. Much of the country is
still unexplorcd, but surveys are being
made every year which will soon give

giving his prisoner the opportunity to

he promptly availed himself. He was
only once brought into court, being
then charged with wholesale diamond

Minnesota as q Home.

The editor Of Dunton's Spirit ofMt
Turf, who has been visiting our State
writes as follows to his paper concern
ing its present and its future:
Minnesota never looked more pros
porous than now. Emigrants are flock
ing here FROM all quarters of the globe
Men, womcn and children from the
East comes in swarms; aod where the
pestlferous hoppers held undisputed
sway for three years Immigrants are
looking for future homes. As yet. no,
half Of last years wheat has been sold,
and the preparations for an abundant
harvest in 1873 far exceed those OF any
former spring. Every one wants
horses to break up new prairie. and q
thousand horses must be bought before
the demand sill be supplied. BY
undisputed testimony, we are embold
ened to say that no other State will SO
rapidly settle up from now on as Min
nesota. Unalloyed health and happi
ness are enjoyed in Minnesota in fuller
measure than ever before; her soil is
uncomparably rich, her scenery chal.
lenges the most witching pen. and her
citizens are Of that genial. jolly and re
fined type which carries one over the
hazard Of an unpleasant acquaintance.
We need but briefly to dilate upon the
future of St. Paul and Minneapolis az
the great metropolis Of The Northwest
when they grow into one city. The
growth Of these cities has seldom been
surpassed in American history. From
small villages they have extended gen
erous arms, and gathered in choice
lot Of children. to the number of 80 ;

hut the truth when we say that the

of the civilized world. and the day is

1t is two years yet before the mex,
presidential canvass will fairly begin
but already there is some discussion as
to the question of 1880 Seine per.
sons affect to believe that it will be the
election Of 1876. Other persons look
back still further and insist that 1t shall
be the war Of 1861. These political
antiquarians are wide of the mark.
The question of 1880 will be between
communism and common sense-that is,
if the Democrats continue, as they
have begun, to advocate the former,
and if the Republicans acquire little
more of the latter.
