TIE "REGULIRS'' BEA TEN.
Some weeks ago we published the fact
that /. magnetic physician had been
thrown into prison in Kansas for at
tempting to cure 4 man of some ailment
10y the laying OH of hands. We notice
now, from an article in the Sterling
(nl.) Standard, that the Irregular" doc
tors 1T that place combined and had DR..
j. n. Marvin arrested for practicing
magnetic healing in that city. Justice
Alexander, after hearing the testimony,
decided that the doctor had not viola
ted the law of Illinois which the ''regu
lars'' had passed to compel people to en-
ploy them and swallow tNeir drugs, or
20 without treatment.
THE GERMAN PoEY:
Frederick Won Bodenstedt, the Ger
man poet, was rendered grand recep
ton at St. Paul on Friday evening last.
Some 800 persons were present. Music
by the German Societies, speeches and
hand shaking were the order of the even
OF course this reception WAS by the
German residents, who are lovers of
music and poetry and who honor gen
ius. Had I.ongfellow or Whittier visit
ed st. Paul the Americans would have
paid their half dollar to hear him lee
ture and left the lecture committee to
conduct him to his solitary room at the
hotel. And the question in the corr
ders Of the hotels would have been,
''Who in thunder is this Longman, or
Longfellow, or whatever it is? What
kind of an office docs he |lold or what's
the name Of his fast horse::''
STORMS.
The wlndiest day Of the season was
"Wednesday of last week, but we hear
of no damage in this vicinity. Sunday
last was peculiar day. The clouds
became so thick ut one time that lamps
were necessary in some Of the houses.
Considerable rain fell in the northern
part Of the county and in some parts
the hail made havoc with the window
panes. at night a strong wind set in,
with some snow, and continued during
Monday Several inches Of snow fell ut
Luverne and Sioux Falls.
Probably this clustering Weathsr WAC
due to our proximity to the in!'ospita
die and bOreal giOns south of us. The
seyerest storm ever known on the Gen.
trail Pacific prevailed on Friday last,
blockadng the road and breaking the
snow sheds. The storm was severe also
in Ohio and in West Virginia it rose to
the fury of a cyclone. We Minnesota
ans get only the fringe, Il brush from
the lem of the tornado's garment.
Since the above was put in type, &C.
counts have come to hand Of u terrific
tornado in southwestern Missouri. The
town of Marshlield was dc:l olishrd.

EDITOR ADVANCE: AS Time rings
his ceaseless changes, as Nature rolls
in endless cycles and e-calcitrant IIu-
manity turns it's Janus face, we see the
more than melancholy mptilltss-wick
edness if you like-of Mans pretcn-
sions. We place confidence in the JUS
tlce, the honor, the truth of Man, and
10! we are deceived. We lift the slave
from his servitudc, and he clanks his
Chains in our faces, with derlsive
sheer. We attempt to raise the brute
to level with intelligence. and he IT,
surps our place, Then comes the night.
How long is this to be? How many
walls must ascend to heaven, before
justice will be met with justice, geuer-
osity with gratitude?
Time is said to be the Fighter Of all
wrongs. When will he right the CRYING
wrong of Republics? When will his
remorseless scythe cut down that nox-
ious weed ingratitude?
Since Rome tried the Republic. there
has not been one but has fallen over the
same block-tle stumbling block of IT,
nOrante. Must America also fall there?
= And must the first decline begin in No.
bes County? Shall thi, little common
wealth take the first step to a ''dpcline
and fall''? Alas for the time when IT,
nornnce raises its hands to crush Btuiu.'
When the common herd, the ignorant
masses, usurp the place of Brniu.
When that herd, having been given Il
voice III selecting an intelligence to rule
it, will, instead, select one of its own
numbers. Alas thou Brain, thy Justice
has been met with injustice, thy gener-
osity with ingratitude!
In what shall we find a remedy for
this state OF things? 10 what shall we
look for help in our necessity? But one
help, but one aid, but one way out Of
the mlre IS presented to us. and that is
