CONVICTED.

The Work of United States Court at Winona.
The June term of the United States circuit
court at Winona, before Judge Il. r. Nelson,
closed on Friday evening. The term re-
suited in several convictions, a majority of
which were on the charge of counterfeiting
Major Bracket and aides arrived in st. Paul
last evening, having in charge the prisoners,
who will remain in the county Jail over Sun
day and be taken to the penitentiary to-
morrow morning.
Their names, offenses, and sentences, are
as follows Edward Devny, convicted of
being a chronic shower of the "queer ?"
four years In the penitentiary and q fine of
$500. The prisoner is cripple, and was
arrested at Morristown early in the spring.
He has been go-between with counterfeit
ers for years, and the sentence was increased
from the fact that he induced young girl to
marry him just before his arrest He is q
hard man.
John Comstock received three. years in
state prison for handling spurious money
and tampering with the mail.
Ole Sendquist pleaded guilty to making
and passing spurious coin, and was given six
months in the penitentary.
John Taylor was sentenced to a year in
state prison or to pay fine of 800 for
passing counterfeit money.
A man named Larson received year in

worn out new one is put in its place, which
is generally about an inch higher than the
rest of the walk, and unless the pedestrian
is extremely careful, he standsa good chance
of wrenching an ankle or breaking leg.
There are pitfalls every rod or two that
threaten the limbs of all passers-by, and
quagmires where there should be pavements
in the roadways.
It is very evident to the most casual
observer that our engineering sys-
tenn is grossly imperfect, or that
there is, gross negligence about enforcing the
ordinance, and grave dishonesty among the
contractors. There is an abundance of good
gravel to be had with which to cover our
streets, which would make them as hard and
as free from mud as the best asphalt. Lumber
and stone for sidewalks are accessible and
cheap, and there is no excuse for the dilapl-
dated walks we now have. A grade should
be established for every street and sidewalk
in the city, more especially in the business
portion, and both brought to the grade with
out delay. Their present condition is SIM
ply scandalous, and would shame the in
habitants of small inland village. They
are disgraceful to great commercial city
like st. Paul, and the sooner the faults are
remedied the better it will be for our credit
and the more satisfactory for all interested.

German Emigrants.

The secretary of the State board of immi-
grafton has an extensive correspondence
among citizens of various portions of Ger
many, all of whom, he says, give him to un-
derstand that the emigration from that
country next year will be much greater than
what is now taking place. Notwithstanding
that so many have left there recently, they
are not missed, and very much greater
number are anxious to get away, and will
leave as soon as they can dispose of THEN
property. All those who have come to Min
nesota seem to have sent back reports com.
plimentary to this State, and are likely to be
but the advance guards of vast multitude
who contemplate an early exodus to Ameri.
ca. Many of those now moving and most Of
those contemplating removal here, are
people of considerable means and will con.
tribute greatly to increase the wealth an6

The voice of the graduate is heard in the
land. All the academies, colleges, univer-
stiles, seminaries and colleges, big and little,
are now sending forth upon the world batch
after batch of raw recruits for life's army.
There are newly fedged doctors of every
school, lawyers, divinity students, and thou
sands who have not yet made up their minds
what pursuit in life to follow. They are all
full of ambition, full of hope. When they
come to deal with the stearn realities of life
to battle with adversely and buffet the en-
wings and jealousies of their associates,
their ardor may be cooled. Yet they should
bear in mind that perseverance and determi-
nation can overcome all difficulties, and not
despair even though they may lose in the
first encounter.
