MINNESOTA ABROAD.
Important Article from the Railway News and
Joint Stock Journal Of London.
I'm Which the Soil, Climate, Products
and Progress of Minnesota are
Fully Set Forth.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press is indebt-
ed to Gen. II. Fl. Sib]ey for copy of
the London Railsocy Neaos, which con-
tains an article of great value to this
state from the fact that it brings before
the British public under the most
responsible sanction the statistics of its
growth and prosperity. These statistics
are familiar to many readers, and are
therefore somewhat condensed. The
article is as follows:
MINNESOTA AND THE GRAND TRUNK
RAILWAY OF CANADA.
If we had not been trained from
childhood to believe, and if history and
tradition had not confirmed our opinion
that the site of the garden of Eden was
in the east, the statements which are
made respecting the state of Minnesota
might have led us to the opinion that
the earthly paradise had it's existence in
the new world. The official publ
cations describing the beauties and re-
sources of the: "Empire state Of the
new northwest" contains such glowing
accounts of Minnesota, and such marvel
Gus statistics of its growth and prosper
ity, that one can Scarcely consider the
terms in which its produce is described
as at all exaggerated. On the title
pages of this publication We are told
The wealth of Minnesota consists
not in her fertile prairies and her mighty
forests, her broad rivers and thousand
lakes, but in those products which fill
the barns and quicken the energies of
trade and commerce."
As a necessary corollary to these
statements we take the following in
dubitable propositions:
If it is we'll to exchange the tyran.
MES and thankless toll of the old world
for the freedom and independence of the
new, and to give the overcrowded vo-
cations of the east chance to vent
themselves upon the limitless and fertile
prairies of the new northwest, it is also
well for the land of labor to bring forth
the rich treasures hid in the bosom OF
new earth"
! Minnesota, or, as it is termed tn e
"Empire state Of the new northwest"
has an area of fifty-three million acres,
of which about ffty-millions are land
and the remainder lakes and rivers.
Prairie land occupies thirteen million
acres, forests three millions, leaving
about thirty-seven millions Of arabic
land, which, it is claimed, produces the
finest wheat crops in the world. Fifteen
years ago there were ten miles of rail
way in this state; there are now 2,50(
miles, or at the rate of one mile of rail.

spoke thereon. At the conclusion of Ew-

question, pending which Killinger moved

Conger moved to adjourn. This motion

for brief biographical sketches Of them

such other information about them
selves as may be useful and interesting

CO.Operative Stores i'm Paris.

The exorbitant charges of Paris
tradesmen have led to the introduction
in their city of cooperative stores,
patterned to some extent after those of
London. The principal one is on the
new Avenue de POpera, and pays a
rental of $4,000 a year. 1t is con-
Quoted by Englishmen, and the public
are invited to become shareholders by
the purchase of 10O-franc tickets,
which entitle the holder to a share in
the profits and discount of per
cent. on all his purchases. Twenty
five-franc tickets entitle the holder to
the discount on purchases, but to no
share in the profits. The general pub
lie can purchase at the regular rates,
which are said to be lower than those
of any other house in the city. The
capital stock employed is 100000
francs. The success which has at
t"~d"a the enterprise has led to the es-
Enlistment of French COOPERATIVE
Society, which includes in membership
stores of all sorts, hotels, schools,
lawyers, doctors, etc. A member of
IF the society having dealings with
any of the various concerns included
in the list pays his bill as presented,
without saying anything about his
membership. He then takes the bill to
the central office and obtains a re-
duction, which the Office collects from
the dealer. It is roundabout method,
the only advantage of which, appar-
emily, is that it is to the interest of all
the members to assist each other in OBJ
tanning business. There are also in
Paris one or two great establishments
like the Bon Marche, which do an i'm
mense business by selling good articles
at the lowest possible price. In the
sale of provisions, Posin acts on this
principle, and his establishment is the
only rival that the new cooperative
store has to fear. In London, the sue
cess of the system has been established
beyond all doubt, the cooperative
stores making handsome profits, al
though selling at from twenty to thirty
per cent. below the regular rates.

A I" Christmas Jubilee"

A RATHER rough joke was perpetrat-
ed Christmas Eve upon a citizen who
had been attending turkey-raffle, and,
after frequent efforts, finally succeeded
in winning turkey. He had, mean
while, been getting into good fix for
a christmas jubilee" as he expressed
it, and, by the time he was ready to
start for home, it was an open question
whether the turkey was not fully as able
to carry him as he the turkey. However,
he started, throwing the fowl over his
shoulder and holding on to its legs. A
scamp in the party, seeing an oppor-
tunity for deviltry, took out his knife
and stole up behind the carrier of the
turkey, as he constructed a rail-fence
along the sidewalk, and cut off the I'M
fortunate fowls head. OF course, the
bird futtered and struggled, but its
owner, not suspecting wrong, merely
changed his manner Of holding it, and
finally Rugged it close to his breast, and
thus conveyed it home. Arrived there,
he carefully placed the turkey in the
chicken-coop and got to bed as quietly
as possible. Yesterday morning, his
wife happened to notice blood upon his
hands and face; a glance at his cloth
ing showed that it was in terrible
plight, and she aroused him hastily,
fearing that he had been wounded in a
fight. Not more than half awake, and
the other pretty booty, he could not
comprehend her inquiries. He insisted
that he had not been in difficulty, but
had spent the evening decorously and
pleasantly, and returned home early
and perfectly sober. But the blood

thought it very singular, but she coult
not see that there was any other way i
could have happened, if he had no
been in fight. He effected a diversion
just then by telling what fine turkey
he had won at a rattle, and advised he1
to go and feed it and be careful il
