From The HsilfAx IN. g., Herald, apr. %.
"A good story u told Of the Marquis of
Lorne and two Glengarry Highlanders
who called On him the other day. Ever
since the massacre 1t Glencoe, In which
the Oampbells did the bloody work of
the Crown, the clan Campbells have
been In bad odor with the clan Macdon-
aids and other sects /; indeed, it is q pro-
verb that the Aaedonalds and Campbells
ffcanna eat DOT l0' the same kail-pot."
The Glengarry men, Macdonalds to the
back bone, were in Ottawa on business,
and after much debate resolved to pay
their respects to the Marquis of Lorne as
the Governor General, not - the son OF
the Csllum Nor. On their way to the
Hall they talked the matter over again.
and one of them suggested that perhaps
the Marquis, being . Campbell would
refuse to receive Macdonald, In which
case their position would be humiliating.
At the gate they met the Marquis with
Major de Winton, and taking them for
servants the Highlandman asked if the
Marquis would care to meet "twa Mac
donalds" to call on the Marquis. His
Excellency replied that the Marquis bore
no malice to the Macdonalds and that
SIR John Macdonald being the first
Minister It was clear the Macdonalds had
forgiven the Campbells. "Forgiven the
Campbellsw cried one Of the visitors,
forgotten Glencoe! Sir John is paid
for that, mon he has eight thoosan dol
lars year for it.; but the diel take me
gin we forgie or forgetw r. and with this
the choleric Gaels turned their faces
toword the Ottawa. The Marquis, how
ever, disclosed himself, and after a
hearty handshalking the feud was tenn
porarily healed. The visitors were turn
ed over to the Argyleshire piper, who is
prominent member Of the household,
and by him treated 80 handsomely that
on their departure they frankly acquitted
the Marquis Of all responsibility for the
massacre.

Correspondence.

Ledoux, Minn., April 2, 1870.
Editor of the Transcript:
There is pleasure in knowing that Culdrum
has some intelligent people who desire the
welfare OF the county as we'll as their own, and
are willing to assist in making improvements
where assistance is necessary and expedient.
The question to be brought before the people
is, what VIII be the gain to US as a communi-
ty and county to vote bonds to the amount Of
$4,000, on which interest must be paid from
date OF issue and the principal in twenty or
thirty years? What would the people in
large part of the county have done during the
past winter had it not been for the Brainerd
Branch railroad? Many would be in want
who are now comfortable, and the reason is
simply that the railroad has given the people
q chance to help themselves. The proposed
railroad offers five times as many advantages.
We hear many say that it is wrong to vote
debt tor our children to pay. So it would be
if we left them no means or way to pay it.
If they get our property they can pay the
taxes; and if they have no property they have
no taxes to pay. Some express themselves as
favoring the issue Of bonds to the amount of
1900 to improve the Little Falls water pow
~er. We are not aware ofany company asking
such aid, nor is it likely there viii be until
there are better railroad facilities than we now
have. The improvement of the Little Falls
water power would cost considerably more
than $50 ,O30, and we think Morrison county
had better let that job alone.

1t don't always pay to be a ghost.
The daily papers give an account of a
young fellow down East who put on
a false face, a white sheet, and other
articles designed to create the impress
sion that he was real ghost and he
entered the room Of a companion at a
late hour in the evening, intending to
give him genuine scare. The plan
worked we'll, SO far. His companion
was frightened, and no mistake. He
sprang up perfectly pale and frenzied,
and seiziug a chair, he struck the
supposed ghost two or three blows
with such terrific force that the ply
sicians think that the said ghost can
not recover.

short line of railroad between St. Paul
and Minneapolis will be built the present
season. An iron bridge for the same will be
built at Minneapolis, ut cost of about Sl75,-
900 Tho Pioneer Press says:
The actual length of new road to be built in
the construction of this short line, is eight and
one fourth miles, and in its construction an
immense amount of material must be removed
not less than 100000 yards of earth and
$4,000 yards of rock The entire line will be
under contract in few days, and will be
crowded to completion as rapidly as money and
men can do it. The cost ofthe eight and one
quarter miles Of road, completed, will be not
far from half a million Of dollars Steel rails
will be laid the entire distance, and the work
in every department will be done thoroughly,
systematically and scientifically. In short,
the experienced railroad men who are at the
helm are determined that their ''short line"
shall be as near perfection as it is possible to
make railroad. When completed they will
equip the line magnitioently, putting on
coaches of the latest and most elegant design
and finish, their ambition being to make their
local trains as handsome and luxurious as
can be produced from the best car-shops in
the country.

can bond holder may be forced to sell his
bonds in countries where lower rates OF
interest prevail, although he may be
firmly opposed to the condition of bust
ness activity and rising prices that force
him to do so. In Europe the amount of
capital in the aggregate is so large that
billions of dollars must necessarily be IN
vested IN government bonds, simply be-
cause there are not avenues enough open
to occupy it in other directions, and the
common rate of interest drawn by these
bonds is three per cent. This enables the
American holder of four per cents to
"unload in Europe" At any time when
his bonds are threatened with deprecia~
tion by heavy risein prices.

A Bismarck correspondent of the Pioneer
Press, referring to the exten sion of the North
ern Pacific railroad, in letter under date of
April 1s, says: q Grading ON the first ten
miles Of the entension commenced on Wednes-
day. Charles A. Smith, formerly of Anoka,
is the contractor. Ho takes it at thirteen
cents per yard-the cheapest work ever done
on this road. Teams, with driver, command
$3.50 and 81 per day. If they are boarded,
they 60 for $3.50. Laborers are getting sl.5o
per day. J. G. Prescott, of Cincinnati, will
follow Smith next week on twenty-five mile
job. No other sub-contraet on grading has
been let, as far as known. Thomas Doane,
the consulting engineer, has been out on the
line for three days with Gen. Rosser. Ferman
Clark, of the first contractors, is on the
ground"

farm. the other day, unearthed black ball as

consist of rattlesnakes closely interlaced, in
which form they had evidently coiled them
selves up for the winter. Stirring up the mess
with pole they separated the snakes one

them, they became very active and attacked
the two men. The farmers, arming themselves
with clubs and stones, at once went to work to

Grangerism still continues to flourish rs fa,
East as New York. The assembly of that
State has passed bills reducing the rate charged
for the transportation of milk from the coun.
try to the city, one-half; and reduc ing thu
communication rates of the New York & New
Haven road. In discussing the former bill
it was stated that its enactment would take
away 81 100000 a year from the revenue O
the roads concerned. The New York papers
do not have so much to say against western
grangerism as in times past they have quite
as much of that clement at home as they cal

The Missouri is q remarkable river,
unlike any other that l ever saw. To
be appreciated it must be seen and
heard during the April or June rise,
when its waters are red and thick with
the powdered soil they have brought
from the mountains and stolen from the
farms in the valleys. Then itponrs and
swirls and eddies along with a treach-
erous sound between a chuckle and
half suppressed whisper, that repels
while it fascinates the listener. 1t has

day being devoured bS its hungry and
tickle mother. Hundreds Of farmers,
after clearing away the heavy timber
and raising fine crops year after year,
on their eighty or more acres: Of deep,
inexhaustible river bottom, have seen
their entire possessions swept sway in a
few days by a sudden and unexpected
Change of channel during ans April or
June "rise."
These changes of channel have differ
ent causes. Sometimes giant cotton
wood tree that has been uprooted where
the river has been raised upon the forest
above, is borne down by the current and
lodged in the mud, where it will grad
ually become imbedded in the yielding
bottom, and, perhaps, lie in wait for
months or even years, without giving
any particular sign Of existence. At
last an unusual rise takes place, and
this hidden "snag" creates diversion
in the strong current, which begins to
circle around the spot, and then culmi-
mates in boiling eddy. The eddy in
creases in depth and force, gradually
diverting the water from its former
course until new pathway is formed
in the river bed. If the eddy is located
near the shore at the upper edge Of a
promontory, and the water is sufficiently
high to overflow the flats, new chan
