The Republicans have decided TO
give some attention to the South in
the present canvass. Mr.. Jewell
stated lately at Philadelphia that the
national committee would make a
determined effort to carry three or
four of the Southern States, and
with bright prospects of success.
He did not elaborate any on this
interesting point, as many of his
hearers would naturally have liked
him to do. There is one man in the
South" said Mr.. Jewell, "who has
expressed his determination to run
for congress if will provide him
with $500. He thinks he can be
elected. While it is not the business
of the national committee to care
particularly for the interests of con-
gressiOnal districts, have written to
this man that if he is willing to
risk his life by standing for congress
he shall have the money he wants. If
there We're more of his courage in
that section the solidity of the South
would be seriously endangered"
Referring to Connecticut, his own
state, which has been placed by the
Democracy among the doubtful, he
stated emphatically that its electoral
votes would be cast for the Repub-
lican candidates. If Mr.. JEWELS
conduct of the party is as serenely
beautiful as that of the postoffice de-
partment under his administration
twill carry it to Halifax. But in the
meantime this young man, who may
be Mr.. Bigger of Texas, will get his
three hundred dollars, and the big
gest ass of the day will be this man
who pays it to him.

strongest the Democrats could have
made. 1t was essential to the safety

The weather for the past few days has
become quite warm, which forces the grass
and grain to come up lively.
Gaceville for the past week has been
lively, crowds of laboring men are busy ut
work onsthe railroad at this place, ANIL u
now seems that tic time is not far distant
when Graceville will have railroad com,
munication with Morris, Browns Valley
&c.
Another new building is in progress of
construction which is intended for Il saloon.
1t is to be built ON the lands owned by d.
G. Smith, and not inside of the present
village limits, as lots in the village cannot
be sold to parties who follow the, liquor
traffic.
We had hurried business visit from
Mr.. Mccullough representing Noyes Bros,
Il Cutters Drug house of St, Paul, and al
so visit by Mr.. Colkendol of the dry
goods tlrm of of Colkendol Bros. of Mime,
apolis, said parties opening upa good trade,
and going away we'll satisfied.
Rt. Rev. John Ireland of st. Paul made
II two days visit to Graceville last week.
During his stay here he made selection
OF the grounds to locate the depot upon,
which greatly relieves the minds of the
people of the village, the spot chosen for
depot being about $40 feet west of the
church on an eminence overlooking the
beautiful ToQua Lake. and about 700 yards
from the business portion of the village.
During the Bishops recent visit he also
made arrangements for the distribution of
the indemnity lands. The obligations of
the permits given by him require all parties
obtaining permits on such land to break
or cause TO be broken, 90 acres of land each,
before thS 10th day of July next. A fail
ure to comply with those requirements
works forfeiture of said claim and all the
rights intended by the permit. So under
those circumstances Il great many breaking
teams will have to be employed here dur
ing the coming breaking season. The
Bishop also made arrangements for the
boring of II public well in the village, AL
though the supply of water is sufficient to
meet the demand at present, still it is be-
lieyed that purer and better water, and Il
greater quantity, can be found at IL greater
depth than has been already obtained

The following paragraph is clipped from
New York journal of last week:
One of the greatest Latin epigramists was
NJ. Valefius, who f1ourished about A. D. 49,
The following ,epigram upon our Blessed
Lord turning water into wine at the mar
riage feast is generally considered to be his
masterpiece: 1.-The modest water saw it's
God and blushed."
If remember correctly, Mr.. Editor,
Dryden gives us this line: The conscious
water saw its God and blu,hed," and he
had in his mind when he wrote it, that ex-
quisite line of Crashaw: "NymphG pudica
Deum Uidit ct eru6uit" This latter is to
be found in volume of Latin poems of
Crashaw, published in 1854, more than
1900 years later than the date above given.
