We, when we wrote said joke on Bro.
Huntlcy, had not the slightest design to
offend the scnsibility of any one, lastly
Bro. H.; and We think that he must be
an adept at double entendrcs, to have dis
covered any obscenity in our squib. We
did not know that he was doing at pres
ent the "high moral dodge; and
would not, from reading the Tribune since
his assuming control Of 1t, and his gentl..
manly treatment Of the name of Bro.
Chambers, Of the Fargo Tines, and his
general porcup,ne attitude edi:orially
to the editors aloug the N p r. r have
in the least judged that Bro. II. was op.
posed to any amount OF mud-sling!ng.
We, however, being but suburban
editor", with due humility bow down to
the rebuke, whether merited or not, Of the
high and mighty Brother of the Bismarck
Tribune, who has, after graduating on the
stats OF Chicago and Washington Journals,
come West to run matters connected with
printers ink, on the broad guage plan, and
set shining example to the western quill.
drivers. See to it, Bro. H., that that ex-
ample be indeed a true AID lofty one then
when we behold the dazzling cffulgence
of the Bismarck Tribune, we will hide
our heads and humbly copy its example.
1t is good plan IN this frontier country
to take kindly joke given with no un.
kindly intent, and several eastern men
have in the past come to grief from not
doing so; We hope no mishap will happen
our beloved Bro. II. from his evident dis
position to pick up a muss when only
friendship is intended.
We in the euphonlous language of the
English carter, say to the Bismarcker-

1t is known in general way that the
completed portion of the road has done a
fair business; but it is said that, whereas
in 1871 the first furrow was turned in its
neighborhood, with population of 100
persons, there are now $4,000 people
along the line of the road, and the break
ing up Of the new land this year will be
to the amount of 1873, $40 acres. The grain
crop of this year is estimated at 100000
bushels, and that Of next year at 100000
bushels. And the Minneapolis millers,
who give us some of the best, if not the
verv best flour, find this northwestern,
northwest from them, wheat the finest
quality for their purpose. That there are
millions of acres of virgin soil, easily cul-
tivable, and to be had at a nominal price,
is fact recognizable upon its statement.
To certain and very desirable class of
European emigrants, the latitude will be
rather inviting than otherwise. To the
New Englander, who prefers a large
landed estate for his children to the
advantages Of the East, this section will
compete favorably with other portions Of
the great West. 1t possesses two elements
Of progress; it is now near market, and
the wheat grown in it commands the
highest price

DISAPPOINTED. The Kearneyites seem
10 to be wofully disappointed in the con-
duct Of those they elect to office. Bones
incurred their displessure, and they
threatened to hang him. Turner, who
was elected by the Workingmen Mayer
OF Sacramento, has fallen under their
ban because he retains his position in the
Central Pacific Is work shops. How many
Of the delegates 10 the Constitutional
Convention will disappoint those who
elected thcm remains TO be seen, but we
believe that every man who essays to do
his plain duty as delegate will be chsrg-
ed with treason to the Workingman's
party. Where men are guided by the
counsels of such fnnstics scoundrels as
Kssrney and Wellock. the man elected
by them has got hard road to travel,
with his duty on one hand and his party
on the other.

SgSTEECgD.-Sprague, one Of the
More murderers, found guilty by the
jury. was sentenced by Judge Fawcstt
to be hanged Friday, September 9th.
An appeal will be taken TO Tie Supreme
Court, upon the ground, among others,
that the indictment WAS rot read to the
Jury and the plea of the prisoner stated
as required by law. The point is probs-
bly, good one, as the law is mandatory
in the matter. The other prisoner, Cur.
lee, WAS sentenced by the jury to impris
onment for life. A third, Lord, is now
on trial. 1t seems great blunder to say
the least, that the plain course laid down
by law was not followed, and one which
without doubt will give Sprague a new

Hartford, Monday Evening.
My DEAR SIOrE:-I have iHven ted and
patented new scrap book, not to make
money out of it, but to econolAize the pro-
family of this country. You know that
when the average man wants to put some
thing in his scrap book he can't find his
paste-then he swears or If he finds il, it
is dried 80 hard that it is fit to eat-then
he swears; if he uses mucilage it mingles
with the ink, and next year he can't read
his scrap bo k - the result is barrels and
barrels Of profanity. This can all be saved
and devoted to other irritating things,
where it will do more real and lasting good
simply by substituting my lf-pasing
scrap book for the old fashioned one.
II Messrs. Slotc, Woodman & Co. wish
to publish this scrap book Of mine, shall
be willing. You see by the above para
graph that it is a sound m 1raI work, and
this will commend it to editors and clergy
men, and IN fact to all risht.feeling people.
One of the most refined and cultivated
Young ladies in Hartford daughter of a
clergyman told ME herself, with grateful
tears standing in her eyes, that since she
began using my scrap book she had not
sworn a single oath.
Truly yours, MARK TWAIN.
These scrap books are for sale by L. D.
Ross. Call and examine them.
