The promptness with which Hon. II. B.
Strait telegraphed to some of our citizens
that the President and party would stop at
Red Wing, (all arrangements therefor having
been previously made by other parties,) is
very creditable to his industry as a news
gatherer, although it does not add anything
to his reputation as an influential member of
Congress.

What the Ring is For.
Minneapolis Mirror

The talk about ''the wheat ring'' isn't all
talk by good deal. That the members of
the Millers' association are all honorable
men in the main few will question; nor
should they question the fact that it is a
wheat ring formed to enable our millers to
buy the most wheat for the smallest amount
of money. AS to the alleged swindling in
grades we know nothing injustice may be
done on both. sides we do know that
when the association offers to sell all it's pur-
chases at cost, it is mere buncombe- beg
ging the question in manner not calculated
to inspire confidence in its published state
ments.

w. D. Washburn, of Minneapolis, the
man who is running for Congress in this
district, and doomed to defeat, paid Sank
Rapids visit Friday. He came up here to
try to convince the people that he was not
connected with that gigantic wheat ring at
Minneapolis, but his pitiful protestations of
innocence in that were of no avail. He left
town looking more melancholy and down
cast than the last rose of summer.

So timid, inconsistent and devious has the
Republican party been in its action since
the Inauguration of President Hayes, that I
hardly see any tope of its success even un-
der more favorable circumstances than are
now apparent. But this may be safely pre-
dicted, that no mere financial policy, how
ever unfortunately important, can insure vic
tory for the party at the coming Presidential
election as against ga consolidated South,''

Mr.. Laffon was obliged to procure an
other horse and continue his journey
but, upon his return few weeks later.
he made further inquiries and found
that the bog was of considerable dimen
sions, measuring about 800 feet in length
by 200 in breadth. It's depth, so far as
they could ascertain, was 100 feet, and
they had dragged from its semi-iquid
depths the bones of numerous animals,
cows, horses and deer, besides some of
immense size, supposed to be those of
animals of antediluvian origin. The
bones of huge mastodon, which were
discovered here, were subsequently sent
by Mr.. Laffon to Prof. Marsh. Quite
number of human bones were also
found, proving that many others, less
fortunate than Mr.. Laffon, had met a
terrible death in this remote and unsus-
pected bog.

The Phair Case.

The celebrated Phair murder case
comes before the Vermont Legislature
which assembled last week. John Il.
Phair was arrested on the charge of
numbering Sam Friese, at Rutland, June
8, 1874. The evidence against him was
entirely circumstantial, but he was con-
victed and sentenced to be hanged.
Under Vermont law two years must in
tervene between sentence and execu-
ton. Last year, on the day before the
execution, the Boston Globe published
Phair's story of his whereabouts on the
night of the murder. A business man
of Boston, on reading the sketch, real
lied that on the day mentioned he had
met Phair at the place named and con-
versed with him. He went to the tele-
graph office and informed Gov. Fair
banks of his knowledge of circumstan-
ces bearing on the case, and, after much
commotion and excitement, Phair was
respited until the meeting of the Legis-
lature. 1t rests with the Legislature to
say whether Phair shall have new trial
or rot. The case is one of the most
extraordinary on record, and the action
of the Legislature, which is to open a
new chapter or end the story, will be
awaited with interest.

The women of Virginia seem really
in earnest in their efforts to maintain
the financial credit of the State, which
the men apparently care so little about,
and they have formed an association
for this purpose. They do not propose
to entirely relieve their husbands and
brothers from the discharge of obliga-
tons they have incurred, but only to
assist and encourage in honorably pay
ing the State debt and its interest.
These women are very practical, too, in
their first step, which is to ask the
Legislature to raise $500, 900 to 100000
more taxes annually to meet the unpro-
vided interest, by imposing the addi-
tional burden of 10 cents on every 800
of taxable property. Petitions to this
effect are to be circulated throughout
the State, each woman who signs it
pledging herself to save this additional
sum for her male protectors by economy
and self-denial.

A Faithful COMPANION.

Mr.. Stanley, in his expedition through
Africa, took five dogs with him, but no
one of them survived the journey. The
last one of them, noble bulldog, called
Bull" travelled over 1900 miles, and
died at length from sheer exhaustion.
He was faithful to the last.
Though he had often staggered and
moaned, he made strenuous efforts to
keep up, but at last, lying down in the
path, he plaintively bemoaned the weak
ness of body that had conquered his
will, and soon after died, his eyes to the
last looking forward along the track he
had so bravely tried to follow"
Bulls grief was almost human when
he lost his last companion, Jack, n
young dog, killed by vicious COW.
Grave and deliberate from years and
long travel, he walked round the body
two or three times, examining it care
fully, and then advanced to me with his
honest eyes wide open, as if to ask,
What has caused this? Receiving no
answer, he went and sat down with his
back to me, solemn and sad, as though
he were Eliminating despondingly on
the evils which beset dog and man alike
in this harsh and wicked world"

RICE TO HAMPTON.
What the Governor of Massachusetts Said
tn the Governor of South Carolina.

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. 1
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
BosToN, Sept 80 1873
To His Ercellency, Wade Hampton, Governor, Co
mmbia =. G.
SIR received on Saturday last an
extraordinary official communication adj
dressed to me over your signature, the
contents of which l had read in the
newspapers three days before. beg to
remind your Excellency that any at
tempted rebuke of Massachusetts by
South Carolina for non-observance of
constitutional or statutory obligations is
refinement of sarcasm which renders
any other defense of the former State
unnecessary. The treatment of the case
of Hiram II. Kimpton by the authorities
of this Commonwealth was uninfuenced
by any personal political consideration
Massachusetts, has no quarrel with South
Carolina, and no friendship for Kimp-
ton, but was bound to extend to each
their respective rights under the laws
Every courtesy, official and personal, was
extended to the representatives of South
Carolina. Unusual care was bestowed
upon the investigation and consideration
of the case, and its decision was reached
upon grounds of perfect impartiality, in
accordance with law and the facts, and
with convictions of public duty. In COM
municating the decision to your Excel
lency, my statement that the object of
the requisition did not appear to be for
the purpose of trying Kimpton for the
crime charged against him, but for diff
ferent purpose, was simple recital of
fact contained in the report of the At
torney General Ga copy of which was
furnished with my letter to YOU, and, in
his opinion and mine, clearly furnished
by evidence.
Your Excellency's letter requires no
argument in reply. 1t is sufficient to
say that it contains statements and i'm
putations contradictory to the facts, and
likely to mislead the public where the
facts are unknown. Its language and
untimely publication are offensive and
unjustifable, and decline to accept it
or to permit it to be placed upon the
files of the Executive Department of
this Commonwealth. 1t is herewith re-
turned. Your obedient servant,
ALEXANDER II. RICE, Governor.

They were having so much merri-
ment at a Rochester wedding that a
young man of the name of Link drew
a revolver and began in fun to terrify
the young-women guests with threats to
shoot them. Pretty soon the weapon
did go off, and the bullet went through
Miss Libby Grush's cheek, knocked out
three of her teeth, and lodged in the
root of her tongue. That stopped the
fun, and half the wedding guests went
off with Link to testify in the Police
Court that it was all an accident

started for the forest in hot pursuit of
the old monster, while the women
dressed the wounds of the lacerated
COW, who eventually recovered from her
injuries and lived to n good old age,
but could never again be driven to that
mountain pasture. She would invari-
ably run out of the path into the woods,
and make circuit that would take her
back to feeding-grounds nearer the
house.
The trail of the bleeding bear was
easily followed for great distance
through the forest to ledge of rocks
near the top of high mountain. Here
was his den, and the men went to work
with will to smoke him out. They
built a fire of pine knots mt one side of
the mouth of the cave, smothering it
with damp barks in such way that,
aided by the wind, which was in the
right direction, the dense smoke was
forced to enter the rocky chasm.
In short time, big she-bear came
trudging out to see what it all meant.
The men, who were in hiding, greeted
her with dozen rounds of bullets, and
she fell dead Mt short distance from
the cave. Presently Bruin himself
slowly emerged from his den, tired from
his long run and weak from the loss of
blood, and, after shifting cautiously
about for moment, met with the same
reception.
Directly behind him, in unconscious
innocence, came out, gambolling kit
ten-like, two handsome chubby cubs.
These were taken alive and kept as pets
by little Lois Stephens until they de-
veloped such bearish proclivities that
the household even became afraid of
them, and they furnished bears meat
for the settlers, who never again were
annoyed by wild animals of any kind.
This lovely June Sabbath was an
eventful one in the annals Of this al
ways church-going family, and little
Lois Stephens, well remembering all
the circumstances, after she became Mrs.
Belden, and was past so years of age,
used to tell this true story to her grand
children and their young friends, of
whom 1 was one.-Mrs. Annie H. Pres
tom, in Youths Companion.

The London Times prints, with evil
dent astonishment, the letter of the
Rev. Dr. Nichols, of st. Louis, describ-
ing his adventure with bears in the
Adirondacks. 1t will be remembered
that he was attacked by four bears on
an island only eighty feet long and
about fifty feet wide, and had only a
shotgun and six cartridges for the en-
counter. Four shots were required for
the big bear, leaving only two shots for
the other three. With one of his re-
naming cartridges the doctor killed a
second bear, and with the other cart
ridge two bears. 1t is no wonder that
many persons have read this story with
increduity; but it is due to the eternal
dignity of history to say that DR..
Nichols veracity is beyond question.
He is the most prominent Presbyterian
clergyman in st. Louis, and has acted
as Moderator of the General Assembly,
where, perhaps, he had some experience
of bears to prepare him for his late ad-
venture. 1t may be, however, that the
two bears the good doctor killed with
one shot were "very small ones"

ACCORDING to recent reports, there is
now great enthusiasm in educational
matters in Japan. There are $4,000
common schools in the empire, with an
average attendance of 100000. There
are ZIG high schools, with an average at
tendance of 10000, and ninety normal
schools, with an attendance of 5000.
The course of study in the common
schools is similar to that in this coun-
try, and the schools, generally speaking,
have been modelled on the American
plan. The teachers number $4,000, and
are licensed by the Government Board
of Education.

The Pacific coast, within few weeks
past, has witnessed succession of afro
cious crimes. First came the murder
instigated by the Public Administrator
of Sacramento to get the victims estate
into his hands; next three thieves en-
tered pawnbroker's shop in Portland,
Ore, in broad daylight, beating the
pawnbroker nearly to death, and made
off with money and jewelry, killing n
boy in their flight; soon afterward a
young man in San Francisco attempted
to kill girl scarcely IA years old, with
whom he was in love; almost simultan-
eously a man in the same city, thinking
he had accomplished the murder of his
wife, set fire to his house and commit
ted suicide; finally, an old resident of
an interior county of California, after
several days of gambling and dissipa-
ton, scattered strychnine over house
hold provisions and in a water bucket,
in the hope of poisoning his wife and
son, killed his daughter of 20 years with
a hatchet, and then blew out his own
miserable brains with pistol. To
these acts are to be added the suicides
of two prominent San Franciscans, one
a former Tax Collector, and the other
President of the French Savings Bank.

CONFINEMENT in well-kept prison is
said to be beneficial to health. The
Sanitary Inquirer says that the records
of the best English penitentiaries show
that persons chances of life in them
are nearly double what they would be
in freedom. Notwithstanding two-thirds
of the inmates enter such institutions
with disease on them, yet, as q result of
pure air, cleanliness, and well-regulated
diet, prisons are made seats of health.
In those of Scotland, which are models
of good management, the death-rate is
only three in 1000. Contrast this with
the death-rate of seventeen per 1000 in
the British army, or with the average Of
twenty per 1000 in other occupations,
and it will be seen what results may be
obtained by proper sanitary regulations.

The Wicked Weed,

Hops are first mentioned by Pliny,
the young plants being eaten as a
vegetable, like our asparagus. But, un-
til the sixteenth century, they were not
used as an ingredient in beer; and,
when their cultivation was first intro
duced from Flanders, in 1925, an out
cry was raised, and Parliament was pc
titioned against O wicked weed that
would spoil the taste of the drink and
endanger the people" But the piquant
bitter found favor with the public, who
relished this addition to the previously
unmitigated sweetness. And so the hop
was promoted from the hedge-row to
the garden" and ever since labor and
money have been constantly expended
upon it.

old and consequently easy shoes. A

her shoe mended while she waited.

CHARLES ELIAS PRESCOTT, just con-
victed of murder in Portland, Me-, car
ried the body of Williams, his victim,
around in wagon all day, and then
buried it in the woods. He testified in
the trial that he killed his comrade in
self-defense. The two had been drink
ing deeply. They stopped and camped
by the roadside. Williams proposed a
hen-stealing excursion, and, because
Prescott refused to go, threatened him
with a revolver. Prescott took this
away and also knife, and then struck
Williams with club and knocked him
down. The murderer says he did not
know that his friend was dead till the
next morning, and then placed the
body in his wagon, intending to take it
to Williams widow, but changed his
mind for fear of arrest, and hid it
where it was found. Prescott is Her
cules in form and strength, being nearly
seven feet tall and well developed.
