T JOHN HANNAS, being a Blacksmith by
ls trade, had often felt the want of some means
whereby could soften iron at the forge so that
could work 1t at better advantage. This induced
me to make many experiments with different sub
stances which offered the best prospect of success.
1t was OF one of these occasions that discovered
the wonderful effects of Electro Silicon on the
Human System.
l had q defect in three Of my fingers, which were
bent or ehnt up in my hand in such manner, by
very troublesome to me in my daily avocation. 1
could not handle my tools as 1 wished and often
thought would have my fingers cut of to get
them out of the way, have used everything that
offered any hope of relief but al to no effect.
Well, | say. was working with Electro Silicon at
the forge, and of course could not prevent ite COM

LONDON, Nov. l9.-The Mark Lane Eaoress
says: Except in q few cases the harvest is now
secured In England. In the Scotch uplands
cereal crops are still being harvested, mostly
in an unripe state. The Scotch harvest. how

in view of the gravity of public affairs
and the imminent peril to representative
government" the adherents of the National
Greenback party are enjoined to assemble
at Washington on the 9th of January. One
would think from the effusiveness of the call
that the veal or woe of the whole nation de-.
pended upon the decision Of the -Greenback
party. That organization may be an i'm
portant factor in our political system. We
presume it is-in its own estimation. Yet
facts-inexorable facts-show that within 2
year it has lost seventy per conf. of its
votes in Colorado; has disappeared from
view in Connecticut, where it commanded
nearly nine thousand votes year ago; has
lost twenty thousand votes in Iowa; has dis
appeared entirely in Mississippi where last
year it had twelve thousand votes; has fallen
from seyenty-6ve to ten thousand in New
York, and from eighty-one to fifteen thou

scarcely been heard from. We do not doubt
but the condition of the country calls for &C.

As compared with st. Paul people, the
citizens of Winnipeg are asleep on railway
matters, and it may be that unless they wake
up soon, road will be built TO the North
west from some point on the boundary far to
the south of her which will utterly destroy
her future commercial prospects. Consul
Taylor has . letter in Saturdays Pioneer
Press in which he hints at St. Paul,
Minneapolis, and Athabasoa railway and ex-
tolls the great agricultural resources of the
Canadian Northwest. He attracted consid-
cradle attention here. 1t has been read and
holly discussed By all the railway men, and it
is limited that Smith, Stephen d Co., are in
league with heavy British and American
capitalists, and that they have scheme fully
matured for monopolizing the carrying
trade from the Peace River to Liverpool vic
st. Paul and the Sault Ste. Marie, compre-
hending we'll known line of ocean steam
ers.
The name Of Sir Hugh Allan is freely

unanimous desire OF the Republican party

and that even in that case he would express

GrnloRE, Keith, Charley Johnson, ct d.,
the proprietors of the twenty five cent saliva
tom shop, known IA the Lake Park, have
hit upon another plan to bleed the public.
They have concluded to issue bonds drawing
seven per cent. interest, and Minneapolis is
to be canvassed to sell the bonds. If Mime
apolis has not already been satiated with this
fraud which has been thrust upon her under
the guiss OF religion, here is a change for her
to bleed again. It is fine opportunity, the
bonds are so good and the interest will be
paid so promptly. A gang Of men, who ad-
versise to the public that property is worth
1880 that could be bought for $4,000, are
nice lot to issue bonds to pay their debts.

W. Simpson has arisen to protest against

hune fears that serious blow is aimed at
st. Paul by this suit. If there was anything
il: the mstter the blow would be aimed at
Minneapolis, for if Simpsons ghost should
win, trains could not run through from
Chicago to Minneapolis. They would be
obliged to stop ut this city entirely. Our
contemporary need have no anxiety, however.
The trains will run right along as usual.

HE report of the postmaster general is
intere sting in many of its details. It shows
that liberal policy towards the largo cities
in the way of extending the free delivery
system and enlarging the accommodations
to business men has been productive of
profit to the service. The bulk of the rove
nue., as in former years, has, been derived
from the cities, while the rural districts have
been source of expense. The outlay made,
however, is being rapidly compensated for
by al increase of business, and it is very
easy to argue from the figures presented that
tho day is not far distant when the depart
'nent will be not only self-suateining but
source of revenue to the government.
