The advance boat succeeded in reachi q g
the Vancouver shore, and, not seeing the
other boat, the men supposed Troupe aud
Goodhue had gone back to the point OF

completely hemmed in with ice, aud they
struggled for hours endeavoring to cut
their way through, and all to no purpose.
The night was bitter cold. They repeatedly
became exhausted, and after rest would
resume the Struggle for life. Sometimes
the ice would sc crowd npon their frail
bark that they expected every moment il
would be crushed. They soon gave up all
hopes of reaching the shore, and ouly ex

when, by means of their oars, they sue

Letter From Moscow.


Moscow, |. IT,, Jan. II, 1879.
Ed. TELLER:--Owing to the preva.
lence Of that zymotic affection, diph-
liberia, which is causing SO much ex-
element at the present time, would it
be out of place to make few remarks
through your paper?
Last evening the people Of this place
were entertained by lecture on the
subject of Hygiene" I cannot, how
ever, accept the idea advanced 10 re.
gard to the causation of diphthelia,
&c.
If you will indulge me in few re.
marks will give brief history of the
disease and the opinions of the best
medical talent of ahc age in regard to
its origin:
History Though the name diph.
liberia was only given to This disease
about forty years ago, it appears to have
been described by Aristaus of Cappa-
docia as a disease of Egypt. Hecker
gives an account of its prevalence in
Holland in 1887; Carnevale, at Naples,
1920; Tamayo, at Madrid, called it
gdrotilo in 1922. Ghisi first clearly
described the pseudo membranous for
nation at Cremona, 174O. Its first
appearance in America was in Boston
in 1876; KIT. in New York. 1771.
Since that time it has made its appear.
ance in almost all parts of the world
visiting the we'll appointed houses of the
rich as well as the miserable dwellings
of mendlcants.
Causation. While some authors do
not doubt the existence of special
material capse, others positively asser,
the discovery Of type of low organ
isms which they fully believe to be tht
origin of the disease. Trendehenberg'
experiments on rabbits at least justify
the conclusion. He has i.oisoned the
blood of rabbits with those microscopic
crypts, thereby producing the disease
in from two to three days. Let INC
further say, that in no case does medi
cal authority erer attribute the disease
filth. My own experience also teaches
me that domestic conditions 10 30 way
make for or against the disease. | viii
say in regard to the "prognosis" and
fatality that most deaths in this coun
try are due to complications, which are
invariably overlooked, at least such
cases no. infrequently meet my obser

spread 90 did the anxiety to prospect il. Nor
DO We see any immediate likelihood to
pause. Applicants for farms, and willing
workers in every branch of industry arc
ceaselessly swarming over the border and
putting themselves to some beneficial use.
We must attribute much of the prosperity
to the railways. Carriage is the grand need
of all. There would be little use in pro-
ducing bushels of wheat and oats in sur
plus millions if there were no facilities for
its quick transit to external markets. What
Minnesota has done in this direction will
excite establishment. In 1862 there were
only ten miles of railway; in 1870 there
were 1902 miles; in 1875 there we're 1854
miles; in 1877 there were 2,2O2 miles.
and in 1878 there were 1858 miles. Rails
are being laid down daily, and be-
fore another year there will be at least
5000 miles covered. As an illustration of
the traffic, we may mention that one Auu-
area trains come to and go from tho city
of st. Paul each day. The grand benefit
OF this widespread railway system is this
that 1t enables exporters to 60 direct to all
the world with their goods. A barrel
Of flour is sent direct to Liverpool for
$l.I, and to Glasgow for $1.52; while
$l.2O is charged for transit to New York.
DuluthI and st. Paul are the two chief ports,
the former on Lake Superior and the latter
at the head of the Mississippi.
For miscellaneous produce Minnesota is
equally favorable. The wild grass is rich
and yields two and q half tons to the acre.
Tame hay is easily raised, and in good guam
tlty to the acre. Sheep rearing must be-
come profitable, owing to the dryness of the
air and the wholesome herbage. The num-
Der of sheep was 203, 5O8 in 1877, or nearly
twenty times as many as seventeen years
previously. Horses are equally numerous,
and cattle twice as much SO. For five or
six dollars an acre-for far less than the an
nual rent paid in these countries farmer
can not only have splendid holding as his
absolute property, but will get seven years
to pay off the trifling purchase money
and interest. In some of the set
Elements the prospectors have had to enter
upon farms that would not grow anything
till cleared, but in Minnesota one can get
possession of estates which only require
ordinary breaking up; and as very few in
deed have capital or convenience enough to
cultivate an entire lot in the first seoson,
there is always as much open ground in
readiness as will be required for the first
harvest. Truly this State is an Arcadia for
the husbandman with it's rich soil, its dry
climate, its rare freedom from surface diff
fculties, it's network of railways, its school
system, its facilities for exporting, and its
prodigious activity. Well might w. 81.
Seward calculate, standing on the capital of
st. Paul in 1860: 81 now believe that the
ultimate last seat of government on this
great continent will be found somewhere,
within circle or radius not far from the
spot on which I now stand, at the head of
navigation on the Mississippi" He was too
sanguine, perhaps, but the scene was one to
infuse great hopes into the observant mind.

The Irish demonstration, at the Opera House
last night, was an immense success. The hous,
was we'll filled, and the utmost enthusiasm was
evinced. Human wrongs make human sym

which Ireland and her people have suffered
lind a sympathy among Americans, as free in
sentiment and substance, material aid, as the
air wo breath. In the dark hours of adversely
Ireland has ever looked to America for help,
and the cry has always been beautifully and
generously answered. The meeting, LAST night,
adds to the record another event, of which St.

were received with outbursts of applause,
which they SO deservedly merited.

DEAR Sm: have the pleasure to acknowl-

present at the meeting of the citizens of st.
Paul, to be held this evening. While pleading
in excuse my inability to be present, it is hard
" necessary I should ask you to assure tho
meeting that the object for which it hss1as-
sembled has my deepest sympathy. Perhaps
this present distress which has come upon tho
people of Ireland is Intended, under tho provi-
dence Of God, to bring into prominence anew,
under more suspicious oiroumstsnoes than
heretofore, the questions which lie at the root
Of all the ills of Ireland and its people. The
conviction is forcing itself upon al thoughtful
minds that the system Of land tenure in Ire
land, or the Irish land laws, enacted and en-
forced by the English government, are Of their
very nature baneful to the people ana adverse
to q prosperous condition Of things in that
country; or, in other words, that the poverty
and wretohedness in Ireland and the deep dis
content of the people are the inevitable conse-
quenoes of those lava and the only remedy Lies
in radical change in the Laws or their entixe
repeal It seems hardly TO be expected that .
