ing seen so well a selected stock in every
line at such unprecedented low prices.
These goods were bought for less than
regular prices and no pains spared to
obtain just what the public demands, a
urge assortment of good goods at prices
that viii compare fayorably with those of
any in the state. This we are enabled to
do for the reason that We aiapays buy for
cash, every dollars worth OF goods is paid

De. PRITCHARD has shown us one OF
the most perfect little blow pipes ever
invented, which he uses in his Office.
Every one who has used blow Pipe has
experienced difficulty in keeping up a
constant and uniform flow Of air, beside
the danger TO the eyes from decrepitat-
ing minerals. This blow pipe removes
all these difficulties and enables a person
to give his whole attention to the mineral
heis reducing.
\ little can with narrow tube pro-
jecting horizontally from the top consti-
tutes the mechanism. Into this can some
alcohol is poured, which is then heated.
The yaporized alcohol is made to play on
an alcoholic flame and issues with such
force rs to create quite n fame, and also
as to keep the ign:ted vapor from melt
ing the tube. This little invention is
about perfect and the only possible OBJ
lection we can see at present is, that the
vaporized alcohol does not furnish as
much oxygen to the fame as would come
through the operators saouth by the old
blow pipe. This may prevent flame OF
less intense heat and it certainly renders
the fame less effective in oxydizing, But
take it all in all the blow pipe is a vast
Improvement and no doubt will come in
to general use.

FROM MINNESOTA.

OaToSvLLE M;nn. April 18th 1879.
Dear Pilot At the time of my leaving
Manitowoc for the west, several of my
friends requested me to write, giving a
description of the country and what OPP,
portunihes it offered for young business
men and those desiring to secure good
| farms. For the benefit OF those friends
| wish to state through the columns of
| the PTLoT, that have located at Orion
vile, Big Stone Co. MINI. at the foot of
| Big Stone Lake on the Minnesota River
which at this point is the dividing line
! between MINI. and Dakota L. Orion
vile is the county seat of Big Stone Go.
and is a lively little village, contains at
the present time about 90 buildings.
| among which are two general stores, one
hotel, one hardware store, one printing
Office, two law firms, four machinery
firms one real estate firm and one drug
store. The town is settling up rapidly,
and lots are selling fast, new buildings
are going up all the time, all showing a
new vigor infused in the town by the
railroad being completed to Montevideo
80 miles distant, and the prospects of the
completion to this point by August 18th,
this being the proposed terminus. There
| are numerous good openings for business
men here, and parties looking up locs-
tions Will do well to take a look at the
country in this vicinity. There are three
proposed narrow gauge Il. Il. running
out from Minneapolis, one of which will
strike this point, one at the head Of the
lake and one further norti.. This is the
proposed terminus OF the Sleepy Eye,
branch of Chicago North Western Il. Il.
which is built as far up the valley rs Red
Wood Falls. There are at the present
time about 600 families in the county.
In the northern part the settlers are
largely Irish, there being some Scandi-
navians, Swedes and Americans.

Stone Lake is beautiful sheet of water
80 miles in length with an average width
Of two miles and an average depth of II
feet, is navagble for light draft steamers,
abounds with fish of all varieties, is
dotted with numerous islands which are
covered with timber for nearly the entire

MEME.

The first robin cometh not, neither
4 heavy frost visits us nightly. This
unweloome visitor murders all appearan-
/ ces of the mild ethereal season. Even
the bold croaking of the musical frog is
spuelched in its infancy. Farmers look
somewhat blue though few OF the more
contented ones console themselves with
necessarily repeating the well known
couplet.
What can't be cured.
Must be endured.
The board have fixed liquor sellers
license at $50. IS usual, Meme is
blessed with an excellent board Of super
visors. They have for their clerk an
ardent follower of Grant and one whose
chirography greatly resembles that of
the late lamented Horace Greeley. BY
close attention, members of his own fam
lily together with a few gifted inhabitants
of the township can unravel its intricate
and learned mazes. This, of course, adds
to his great worth as an able an intelli-
gent clerk and we will not be surprised
to see him receive something in addition
to his stipulated salary for mis- ennobIng
and unselfish services rendered in behalf
OF every tax payer in the township.
"Cheese business promises to be very
lively the ensuing season. 4 half dozen
factories are being renovated preparatory
to the commencement of operations
Owners will receive y cents per pound
for the manufacture Of a good sound
article. The cheese will be sold by

the factory. Anton Walterbach, Gordon
Stephenson and Patrick Nas lie are the
gentlemen selected to act in that caracity
III connection with the factory at Walter
bach's. The names OF these gentlemen
is proof positive that everything will be
done on the ''square.

Two tramps were lately found in the
city by the marshal and locked up. One
was an old man from Green Bay, who
hal begged little money while in the
city, and then INDUCED in a spree. The
marshal recognized in him a tramp
whom he had introduced to the jail two
years before. Though drunk he did not
protest against being confined, stating
that he was used to it. In the morning
he begged piteously for whiskey. He
was taken the city limits and left with
the injunction to visit Manitowoc no
more. He promised to heed the advice
and took up his line OF march toward the
setting sun.

perhaps the ablest Of modern writers on
political and social science, commenced
i'll the year 1869 a book on Socialism,
which, if it had been completed, would
probably have been recognized as the
greatest of his works. Manuscript chap
ters Of the incomplete work have recent
ly been brought to light. AMI are found
so nearly complete in themselves, ahd so
ably to discuss questions now most prom
inent in the public thought, that a Lon

them. They are announced to appear in
book form on April 25th, published by
the american Book Exchange" New

is work which all students of political
