THE DULUTH g WINNIPEG r.
R.-Neighbor John G. Hunter has
just received large lot of wheel
barrows. He says they are for the
Duluth & Winnipeg railroad! Well,
we confidently predic: that inside
of five years, he or some one else
aoiU be called upon to furnish wheel
barrows by the hundred, to be used
in the grading of that same road.
The Northwest cannot afford to do
without that road very many years.
Any one who will take the trouble
to look at the maps will see that it
is one of the most practical and
feasible lines of road ever projected.
After crossing the St. Louis river,
it will pass through the heart Of the
heaviest lumber region in Minneso-
ia. A little farther on, 1t will enter
the famous Red River Valley and
bring Pembina as near to Duluth,
as is Fargo, and perhaps even, a
little nearer than that city is-thus
effecting saving in distance of
some 200 miles over the present
route, for the entire business of
Manitoba.-Dul,tth Tribune.

trail desires a connection with the
great Northern Pacific country, and
are seeking the same through the
Wisconsin Central, Northern Wis
consin and Northern Pacific, thence
TO Manitoba; and have men in the
field examining the route.
The Northern Pacific Co. are at
logger-hcads with the Kittson Co..,
and the parties who control the ST.
Paul q Pacific Co., whose road
runs up to Manitoba, and by their
action the Northern Pacific Co. are
virtually cut off from participating
in any of the trade of that country,
so that they will be compelled TO
do something to protect them selves.
1t looks as if that something will be
road from Fargo up the west side
of the Red River to Manitoba, and
the completion of their line from the
Northern Pacific iunction to Ash
land. Should this course be de-
cided on, it will necessitate the
building of the Marquette, Hough-
ton & Ontonagon road from L'Anse
to Ontonagon, and the building of a
road from this point to Ashland.
That again will compel the building
of the Marquette and Mackinaw
road. Then, indeed will the North

An old Winnipegger, writing to
the St. Paul Pioneer-Pr of the
good old Garry days, says: ain
1867 Winnipeg consisted of only a
dozen or so log houses with few
Indian wigwams scattered here aud
there. Now we have population
OF between 5000 and 10000 souls !;
be? ?utitul wide streets lined with
fine buildings of brick and wood.
We have three banks, eight churches,
several schools and colleges, and
numerous fine public buildings. We
have fourteen steamers ply ing on
the river, and this winter we expect
to have railroad connections with
St. Paul and the cities of the east.
Ten years have certainly wrought
great changes with you as they have
with us. St. Paul has grown Won
derfully in size, and Importance; SO
has Winnipeg, and there is nc
doubt great future is before both
cities"

THE WAVE OF II
some depression proceeds from the
South. cheer rings out,brave and high
and hopeful from the West. Great
crops seem TO have been universal.
Orders are coming in there from re-
mote states, hanging upon the very
rim and verge of Western railroad
construction. Fresh orders are sent
East, based upon these and wheth-
er Chicago or Cincinnati, or Detroit,

the pattern for all, common re-
port of activity, as encouraging as
it is novel, is received. The way In
to the meridian may be gradual,
and the goal slowly reached. The
first thing is to have commenced
seeking it resolutely, and to find ev-
idence of that quest. We of the
Atlantic littoral have dwelt upon
the reduction of the national debt,
and reduced importations, and in
creasing expectations, and national,
corporate and Individual liquida-
ton abroad and at home. Now the
hymn is taken up by and beyond
the great lakes, with new notes,
while the south strikes in the ac-
compartment of great cotton crop,
and of sugar, and tobacco, and tur-
pentine, and rice, and their auxilia-
ries, that mitigate the sufferings of
pestilence; and the Pacific coast in
terpolates wheat, and wine, and
fish, and lnmber, and gold, and sill
yer, and commerce. Political strife
and conflicting theories of one kind
and another diminish the volume OF

lots. He loked around him care
fully, examied the harbors and in
quired into the prospects of all our
towns, Annapolis Elkridge, Balti-
more, ETC., and after hesitating a
good while between Joppa and
CharlestowH for that, he was sure,
was to be acoming great city. Can
the reades ell us where Charles
town was? He will not find it on
the maps, UT it was laid out for
great city inl742, cat a place called
Long Point on the west side of
Northeast RIVER, in Ceacil county,"
And the people who laid it out had
great hopesof it, and it was a par
ticular favoiite of the gentlemen of
the Assembly, too. But for all
that, Charle,towp is dead city.
The city, however, which died .he

ANONYMOUSLY was Joppa, once a
busy emporium of Baltimore coun-
ty. Joppa was the third attempt
or Baltimore county TO establish a
county seat. Its site was selected
with great care, On the east bank
of the Gunpowder, not great dis
tance below the falls, on good, bold,
broad water, and it was notable
place before there was any houses
to speak of in Baltimore. 1t had a
court house ard jail, and many large
factories; received tobacco in large
quantities and shipped it to Bristol,
to Lisbon, to the West Indies, and
Holland. In I73l Joppa was large
enough to have an epidemic of
smallpox, and Baltimore County
Courts and elections were held here
from l7l5 to l768. "Joppa roads,
and sold court" roads are still
found in Batimere and Hartford
counties, conyerging toward that
point on the Gunpowder, and the
prothonotary of the county lived
there in state. But Joppa itself is
no more to be found. 1t has van
ished from off the face Of the earth
"a city dead and buried, and you
may shoot canvasback ducks now
from the very site where once stood
Baltimore County's busy seat.

There are the usuel number of serial and
short stories" Michael Airdree'8 Freehold"
and ''In Mischief Again" are continued; and
a new story by Mrs. Barr, "Quahair's Two
Fortunes" will well repay perusal; as will
likewise Learning a Trade" which is capt
tai American story, commended especially
to young men. "The Ship of the Desert"
is an admirable article, with twenty cuts,
illustrative of the habits and manners of the
camel. "Francis Xavier, the Apostle of the
Indies" and "St Chrysostom by Lacroix,
will be read with profound interest. The

a Prolific Family.

Some persons have given themselves
good deal of uneasiness lest, from the
paucity of children born to American
parents of late years, the native race
should die out. Certainly, the size of
families, from whatever cause, has been
reduced in this country during the
present generation. Where there used
to be eight, nine and ten children, there
are now not more than two, three or four
at most, two being called the regular
number. There are many exceptions,
however, TO this rule. A CONSPICUOUS
exception is Mary, wife of William Aus
tin, now a resident of Washington, who
has had forty-four children, only eleven
of them born alive. She has had twins
thirteen times and triplets six times.
Her sister, Mrs. Carrie Kenney, aged 43,
has had twenty-six children, and her
husbands sister has had forty-one chill
dren, making a total Of III for three
women. This seems almost incredible,
though the figures are vouched for.
Mrs. Austin, a native of South Carolina,
and reared in Tennessee, is the daughter
of John G.. Kind, a printer. She was
extremely loyal during the civil war,
and rendered excellent service to the
cause by nursing and administering to
sick and wounded in the army of the
Cumberland, often going on the field and
taking wounded soldiers from the front,
where they had fallen. She is regular
physician, and has practiced for twenty
years, having been one of the first women
doctors in the country. She studied
medicine in New Orleans under the we'll
known DIR. Stone. She lost an eye while
with the army in the Valley of Virginia,
received medals for the able and fearless
manner in which she discharged her duty,
and was granted, likewise, a regular COM
mission. She is 81, of good proportions
and appearance, and, as may be inferred,
of vigorous constitution. Her husband
was also in the Union army, and must
have been gallant soldier, for he bears
the marks of a score of serious wounds,
which would have killed any man less
tough. The Kind and Austin blood is
so prolific that a few members of the
family would be welcome immigrants to
new and thinly settled country.
Where they were progeny would be as
sured. Mrs. Austin, judging by Ma
poleon's standard as revealed to Nine.
De Stael, is unquestionably the greatest
woman in America.-NelC York Times.

Though Shaking Like an Aspen Leaf

With the chills and fever, the victim of
malaria may still recover by using the cele-
brated specific, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which not only breaks up the most aggra-
waited attacks, butprevents their recurrence.
1t is infinitely preferable to quinine, not
only because it does the business far more
thoroughly, but also on account of its per-
feet wholesomeness and invigorating action
upon the entire system. Testimony is con-
current, positive and ample showing the de-.
cisive nature of its effects, and that it is no
mere palliative. Physicians concede its
excellence, and there is a constant influx of
communications from persons in every class
of society avouching its merits, and bearing
witness to lis superiority over other rene
dies for malarial disease. 1t is especially
popular throughout the West, wherever
fever and ague prevails, as it does in
many of the fairest and mostfertile portions
of that vast region,

Ages of Marrying People.

The Boston Herald is in the habit of
publishing the marriage intentions filed
in that city, in accordance with the laws
of Massachusetts, by couples intending
to be united. The list gives the names,
ages and pieces of residence of the par
ties. As an almost invariable rule the
women are much younger than the men
whom they propose to take for husbands
A recent issue contained six notices. One
of the male candidates for matrimony
was 80, and the girl he had chosen SO;
another 48, and his betrothed 81, and so
on. Only one damsel in the half dozen
avowed that she was born before the
man who had won her heart, and she con-
feesed to but a single summer.
