faculty of the human soul in its highest energies that
the faculty finds the very conditions Of
istence in the products Of the latter. II Is not until
Homer has written his "Epos" and Sophocles has
carried the drama 70 its highest development that
Aristotle comes to cxplicate the nature and laws Of
epic and tragic poetry. II is not until the orators

BROTHER JASPER IND THE CONTRa-
BdNll,S REVIVAL.

BROTHER JASPER and THE CONTRa-
BANDS REVIVAL.
Brother John Jasper, of the old "African
Church. in Richmond, Va, now called
Mount Zion, having convinced himself and
most of his congregation that "the sun do
move" has now turned his attention
to hell. From the latest accounts from
that Southern locality hell is success.
Brother Jasper has not only demolished
Henry Ward Beecher, who has now become
the author of the Saints Souls rest, instead
of Baxter, but he has succeeded in revival
among the colored brethren, and others in
favor of orthodoxy and hell.
The police officers of Richmond have been
called to quiet the manifestations of this ex-
ira religious fervor, and the old citizens OF
the former capital of the rebellion begin ia
realize not only that there is hell, but that
hell has broken loose.
We await, with great interest, the results
of Brother Jasper's mission. During the
first ten days of May, the month of all the
year hallowed to the memory and blessed
with flowers, it is known that the students OF
the stars watch with the vigils of science, the
transit of Mercury If Brother Jasper shall
survive that interesting event, perhaps after
all the turmoil, he may realize that if the

The State Fair.
Stillwater Lumberman.

l6tl1lWaCec Lnm Dermdn.
The enterprising men of St. Paul are full
of plans for making the annual State fair at
st. Paul, during the first week in September,
an event to be remembered at home and
talked of abroad. They should have the
liberal cooperation of farmers, manu-
facturers and business men all over the
State. Such gatherings and expositions give
unequaled opportunity for massing what is
of the best from farm, factory and workshop,
and here may be made such display as
shall illustrate the rapid growth, resources,
present advantage and resistless enterprise
of Minnesota as can be nowhere else so
thoroughly and so easily accomplished. We
judge from the tone of St. Paul papers
| that nothing of outlay or labor will be
lacking among st. Paul men in their
endeavors to make the fair mammoth
success. They alone cannot make the exhi-
bition what it should be. Every city, village
and farming community in the State should
do its part. These fairs are specially i'm
portant now while the country is filling rap
idly. and Eastern people with thoughts Of
Western homes, are taking.into consideration
every indication of State and local prosperity
in deciding in what part of the greast West
to establish themselves.
Minnesota farmers will not only have an
opportunity to compare their own produc
tons, but already preparations are on foot
to bring to the State fair some fine herds of
choice stock from outside the limits of the
State.
Let all who feel an interest in the State
prepare to do something for the fair, and let
all who possibly can arrange to attend it.
Saltwater will. of course, be represented by
the most driving men and the fairest danes
of any part of The State. Such is the special
privilege Of our city.

Hrartiess Hendricks.

The bomhshell which Mr.. Hendricks, with
characteristic forethought, induced Mr.. Eaton,
of Kansas, to deposit in the Democratic
household, may be said to have bursted. It
will grieve Mr.. Hendricks to learn that Eaton
has been badly damaged by the explosion,
and that the rents made reveal still further
secrets calculated to injure his dear friend
Tilden. Sitting slfe.y away in indianapolis,
without so much as speck of the disturbed
dust upon him, we feel authorized to say that
Mr.. Hendricks will be no less surprised
than panied that an innocent conversation
IN railroad car should bring such disas-
ter to so guileless and open hearted man as
Mr.. Eaton, of Kansas. OF course, in the
privacy of his own reflection. Mr.. Hendricks
can admit that Mr.. Eaton might have been
more cautious, might have dropped his bomb
with less precipitation. He Will be able to
ask him when next they travel in company if
he ever comprehended the subtle reason
which prompted a hen to lay an egg, and if
he did not, can give him lasting lesson in
wisdom by saying, in his most impressive
manner; Because, sir, if she dropped it
she would break it!'' Mr.. Hendricks always
proceeds on this basis. Whenever he drops
an egg, it is always safe to bet it belongs to
some other man.. It was so in that now me-
morable railroad conversation. The break
age is all charged upon the Kansas statesman.

At LAST.

Additional and decisive evidence relative
to the guilt of Henry Ward Beecher seems
to be at hand. Mrs. Tilton's brief letter,
furnished by the telegraph will. confirm the
opinion of those who have all along believed
in Beecher's guilt, and must certainly shake
the faith of those who have professed to be-
lieve in his innocence. If there is any such
thing as an overriding Providence, it is
morally certain that some time the perjured
adulterer, who has so long brought the cause
of Christ and His holy religion into dis
repute, will be unmarked and stand in his
true light before all the world. Whether
that time has absolutely arrived the future
must determine, but at this writing it looks
as though this hideous scandal had been re-
opened in manner which will produce de-
cisive results. We hope to see this .blotch
upon religion ended now and ended forever.
There will never be quiet while Henry Ward
Beecher is allowed to pollute the pulpit.

The Death Of Franz: Perfect

Lee D0Ntn OF Ff0nE Fe1Tect-
He died at White Bear Lake on the 18th
of April He was gentleman, and the
son of gentleman away across the ocean.
Many years ago, he came to Minnesota,
e1iled himself from all society, lived in the
wild woods, with his guns and his dogs,
heathed in the open air of heaven,
looked to the stars, and it may be sometimes
dreamt of the old home.
Under all the vicissitudes of this dream
less, weary burden of life, Frank Perfect was
q gentleman. No man ever entered his
presence, but who would recognize, in mo-
ment, the secret of gentility. Often
have met him; often have I greeted
him, often have I from the bottom of nv
heart wished, almost prayed, that I had
money enough to take him away from the
lonely hunters life, and restore the wanderer
to the peaceful home of boyhood's young
dream.
Adieu, Frank Perfect! God grant that
the music of the brock, the forest and the
birds has been exchanged for the harmony
of the better world. OSCAR STEPHENSON.

ALL of the talk relative 10 the Fort SHELL
ing bridge seems to imply that the structure
shall be of the truss character with central
piers. The commission ought to secure
estimates and bids, both for suspension and
truss bridges. It is estimated that piers
alone will cost sixty thousand dollars.
When Mr.. Steele with a few others were

pension bridge as matter of economy. If

sion bridge, it will pay the county.

Still waters run deep, and unless we have

rather too deeply around the penitentiary.

is quite we'll known that the land lying be-

river has long been question of dispute be-
tween the State and private parties. It was

for many years it has really seemed doubt
full whether the penitentiary belonged to the
State OF not.
The Legislature has, on several occasions
moved by the clamors of public opinion ap
pointed committees to investigate this in.
teresting institution. 1t is another of the
noble charities of the State run in the inter.
est of Christian benevolence and of the Re-
