The Most Northern Point Of the United
States.

II the question were asked, Which is
the most northern part of the United
States, except Alaska? perhaps many
would say, The line of 40 deg. from the
Lake of the Woods to the Strait OF DE
Fuca. But that answer would be incor-
rect. There is point where the United
States reaches 40 deg. % sec. "a min.
north latitude. 1t is in longitude 30
dec. ii min. 50 sec. west from Green
witch.
In other words, at Lake of the Woods,
an Minnesota, our territory includes a
small area reaching beyond 4? deg
more than IS miles. This little ex-
crescence, iutting out into British Amer
;ca, is recently put down upon some OF
our maps, but | have not seen 1t on
many of them. 1t is indicated, though
roughly. upon Cases large map OF the
United States and upon the large map
published by the Government and issued
by the Land Office. observe il also In
Warren's School Biographies.
The map which shows it most accu-
rately is perhaps the Map of Minnesota,
published by the St. Paul Book and
Stationary Company, at st. Paul. On
most Of the maps the Lake of the Woods
il by no means correct, or even APP
proximately so.
After learning the fact that our coun-
try does hold this little jutting piece OF
both land and water, the question arises,
How did it happen that the boundary
should take this circuitous direction!
The answer is rs follows: In the Getini-
tive treaty of Paris, signed (Septembei
3, 1881 by John Adams, David Hart
lev, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay,
Article III. defines the boundaries OF
this country. In this article we find thai
from Lake Superior westward the
boundary is given as follows:
"Thenee through the middle OF Ions
Lake and the water communication be
tween il and the Lake of the Woods
thence through he said lake 10 the mos
northwestern point thereof. and from
thence in a due west course to the rive
Mississippi"
Evidently it was then supposed tina
the source Of the Mississippi was Il
the north and west of this point. When
however, il was subsequently ascer
tanned tina, the headwaters Of this rive

HancOck'S Administration
Would be q "Hurrlcane
of Scandal

Springfield Republican Ind l-General
Hancock is a good man, but General
Garfield is good Administrator. That
Is the difference between the parties
and the candidates, and it is big diff
ference. The Republican party under
Hayes is administering the Government
with degree of efficiency, integrity
and wisdom which conspires with other
elements of thrift to make us prosper
GUS and happy. General Garfield as
President simply takes the place of
Hayes In controlling and improving
this vast administrative machine. II
Hancock could fit 1t with as little jar
and disturbance as Garfield would,
there would be little to distinguish the
candidates. except Garfields civil exper-
ience. But Hancock cannot or at least
will not fit into the present administra-
tive machine; he goes into the Presi-
dency to turn out the existing civil SER
vice and appointing new, untried and
unsolicited men in their places, and on
the mathematical law of probabilities,
he will make mistake at least one time
In ten. Garfield for four years will
have to pick out for Office but few
thousand men and mostly by promo
tiOn; Hancock will attempt at once to
pick out 100, 600, with nothing to pro-
mote from. His 10000 inevitable mis-
takes scattered over the country will
make his administration hurricane Of
sandal.

He Resembled the old Man.

A good story was yesterday told at
military headquarters about young Jesse
Grant, who has just returned to Galena
from the west. Jesse went to num-
Der of Arizona mining towns. and was
given some prominence. At one place
big, burly, profane and dissipated
miner who had sold 5000 claim, and
was in town having a high old time,
took q drunken notion to distinguish
himself by thrashing young Grant, who
is small and of light build.
The big miner came up the street,
cursing as he came, and staggering
into restaurant where Jesse was sit
ting, and approaching a young and
we'll dressed man, evidently not ma
tive of those "diggings," who was at q
table near the entrance. he slapped
him heavily on the shoulder and ex-
claimed:
'Look hyer, youngster. how many
bits to the dollar?"
The stranger addressed quietly laid
down his knife and fork, deliberately
eyed the intruder for fun minute and
suddenly resolved himself into an Ari-
zOna whirlwind. All in the space of q
second or so the big miner was knocked
down several times, stood upon, sat
upon, his clothes partially torn of, and
with both eyes closed, dazed and bewil-
dered, was thrown into the street.
The stranger quietly returned to his
knife and fork, and the miner remarked
as he picked himself up and peered
curiously into the door:
"Durned If the youngster don't re-
semble the old man."

A Father VINO Melted.

Detroit Free Press. :
The other evening a citizen of Detroit
beekoned to his l2-year-old son to fol-
low him 10 the weodshed. and when
they had arrived there he began:
Now, young man, y0n have been
fighting again! How many times have
/ told you that it was disgraceful to
fight ?"
.sOh, father, this wasn't about mar
bles or anything Of the kind" replied
the boy. 90
81 can't help 1t. As a Chistian man
It is my duty to bring up my children
to fear the Lord. Take off your coat ?"
"But, father, the boy was fighting
with called me names.''
"Can't help it. Calling names don't
hurt any one. OF with that cuat Z"
"He said was the SON Of wire
puller." e
'What! what's thats"
"And he said you was an Office
hunter :"
"What. what loafer dared make that
assertionf"
sit made me awful mad, but didn't
say anything. Then he called you
hireliny."
"Calisd me hirelingt Why, I'd
like to get my hands on him!Y pulled
the old gent.
''Yes, and he said you was political
lickspittle!' ~
IS sLand o. graciousi but wouldn't 1
like to have the training OF that boy
for about five minutes! wheezed the
old man as he hoped around.
81 put up with that" continued the
boy, "and then he said you laid your
pipes for office and got left by large
majority. l couldn't stand that, father,
and so sailed over the fence and licked
him bald-headed In less'n two minutes.
Thrash me If you must, father, but !
couldn't stand it to hear you abused by
one Of the malignant opposition
aMy s0ri," said the father, as he felt
for half dollar with one hand and
wiped his eyes with the other, "you
may go out and buy you two pounds of
candy. The Bible says IL is wrong to
fight, but the Bible must make allow
ance for political campaigns and the
vile ISLANDERS of the other party, |

you, and now you can putOn your coat
and run along" 3 &

Will He Succeed.

In niue cases out OF ten mans life will
not be success II he doesn't bear bur-
dens In his childhood. If the fondness
of the vanity of father or mother has
kept him from hard work; if another
always helped him out at the end of his
row; II instead of taking his turn at
pitching off, he slowed away al. the
time-in short, II what was light al
ways falls to him, and what was heavy
about the same work to some one else |;
If he has been permitted to shlrk until
shirking has become a habit, unless
a miracle has been wrought, his
,liie will be failure; and the blame
will not be half so much his as that Of
his weak and foolish parents.
On the other hand, If a boy has been
brought mp to do hls part, and never
allowed to shirk his responsibility or to
dodge work. whether or not ir made his
head ache or soiled his hands, until
bearing burdens has become matter of
pride, the heavy end of the world his
choice, parents as they bid him good
bye may dismiss their fear. The ele-
ments of success are his, and at some
time and in some way the world will
recognize his capacity.

English as a Union Halter In
1861.


A Washington special to the Cincin-
natl Gazette SAYS: ~
An examination of the records of
Congress at the time of the inaugura-
tion of Abraham Lincoln shows that
w. H. English, of Indiana, was 80 Bit
ter q Copperbead, and SO much Of a
Union hater at that time that he endeav-
ored to secure the removal from the
Capital of the little handful of troops
which even James Buchanan had
brought here for the purpose of aiding
TO prevent the riots threatened by
Southern men In case of the inaugura-
ton Of Lincoln. President Buchanan
had sent message to Congress stating
that he had brought troops here as a
means of keeping the peace. and that
their presence, he thought, had been
beneficial. Yet William H. English,
the present candidate for Vice Presf.
dent on the Democratic ticket, with
five other Northern Democrats, voted
that these troops should instantly bt
removed from the National Capital.

HELP FOR IRELAND.

The terrors of famine are upon nearly
a quarter Of million Of Irish tenants,
and a great wall of distress is sounding
through the world from the Emerald Isle.
The appeal just made to America by the
Dublin Mansion House Committee for
the Relief Of the Distress in Ireland is
one that will touch tender end respon-
sive chord i'll the sympathetic heart of
Americans. We must contribute of our
wonderfully bountiful harvest to feed the
starving people who last season titled the
soil in vain. With the cry of his hungry
countryman i'll his ears, Mr.. Parnell must
keenly feel the mistake lbs has made in
linking his Land League scheme witi his
solicitations of food for the starving
There ought to be flowing towards him
a great tide Of contributions from
America, and there would be, had he
simply told the tale of 1iiSl! distress and
asked no aid for rash agitation. II il be
true that the Pope is not pleased at Car
dinal McCloskcys reception of Mr.. Par
nell, even his influence with the Irish
population will soon wane. Other hands
than Mr.. Parnelfs must transmit the
greater part of Americas relief for Ire
land,

THE DESPAIR OF OLD MEN.

Mr.. Charles O'Conor's melancholy let
ter concerning the future of the Republic
is a reminder of the well-known fact that
youth is the time of hope. but that with
old age comes a period of dependency.
1t is an interesting inquiry as to whether
the melancholy of old age is the product
of the wisdom begotten of long expert
ence, SO that gloomy forcbodings of The
worlds future are the most rational sen
timents to entertain, or whether the ply
steal decay of advanced life bc"ets the
dependency and hopelessncss which are
characteristic of the average man who
has seen three score years and ten
Scientists might make interesting contri-
buttons Conformation as to this question
Young men are almost uniformly hopeful
of their country's future. while the aged
are almost uniformly hopeless. 1t would
seem that there must be- something in the
physical condition OF the aged that pro-
duccs mclancholia. so unmistakable is it
that the world is making progress. in
stead of growing more corrupt. There
are unquestionably elements in the polit-
ical life of the United States which. if
permitted to predominatc, would in time
effect the rain which many Old men be-
lieve to be impending, but there are I'M
seen forces which restrain greedy poiiti-
clans within certain limits, and the integ-
rity of the common people is Il power
which the most unprincipIed trader in
governmental affairs is forced to respect.
If such men as Mr.. O'Conor would form
their judgments from a careful considera-
ton of the world s history during the last
two thousands years, rather than from an
inspection of the turbulent greed and au-
dacious chicanery of the worst clements
of the political life of the present time.
they would look upon the future with
more cheerfulncss History has a power
that should somewhat sweeten the isdg-
ments and relieve the despair of old men.

ORDER OUT OF CHAOS.

The FusioniStS in Maine have declared
State revolutionary. Ii was q suitable
climax for this Democratic burlesque. II
was as if burglar convicted by a jury
were to assert his belief that the jury
system is contrary to law. Possession is
nine points of the law. and these nine
essential points the Republicans have.
The tenth, they have had all along. for,
by the decision of the Supreme Court,
Davis. the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor, was legally and duly elected, and
he has been installed beyond the power
of any Fusionist OF Democratic protest.
The truth is. that the Fusionists are fear
fully and utterly demoralZed; and their
intention, whether suggested by Mr.. Til
den or General Butler, to appeal to Con-
greSS for assistance, is 4 piece Of wretched
impudencc. and an insult to our National
representatives.
One of the FusionistS. Mr.. Hill, said:
1.-The clergy. money power. and courts,
are against us Pray, how do they diff
fer from thieves and outlaws. when the
State. the church. and commercial inter-
ests. all condemn them?
We want our rights, said Mr.. In
gals In saying that he echoed the
traitors who attempted to overthrow the
National government nearly 4 score of
years ago, and who stood afterwards in
the Fusionists now hold with regard to
the government of Malne.
Mr. Bradbury said: The ballot box is
still left to us to be stuffed and falsi-
fed again, if they had the power.
Mr.. Blaine is to be sincerely congratu-
lated on his victory. He stands out promi-
nently as the representative of law and
order III Maine. and he and his eompa-
tiiotS have nobly upheld the principles
of our government and the honor of the
Republican party, never STOPPING to help
their cause by any underhanG or ungen-
tIemanly means.
One of the finest features OF this dis
graceful tnrmoil which has resulted so
happily and to the credit Of our institu-
tons and the people, has been the con-
duct of General Chamberlain. He has
acted throughout as a soldier and a cit-
zen, exhibiting the highest qualities of
both in his tirmncss and his alstentioll
from the use of arms, in his contempt for
stolen authority and his instant submis-
sion to legal and true Governor.
The issue of The Siaine irouhle is one
of the things which Americans will re-
call with pride, and which the rest of the
world will regard with admiration.
The Republicans based their chances
. Of success on the law and the Constitu-
tion. and they were successful. If the
Fusionists resort IL afa,F, ,hey will sim
ply kill themselves.
/ 1t is amusing to see the Democrats who
upheld State individuality. and Scotfed at
/ the interference of the Federal govern
/ neat while the Fusionists had the upper
hand, now ind"ss;pg the latter's PROPOSE
/ ton to appeal to Congress i'll tlicir defeat.
/ 1t is very pretty quarrel as it stands.
! The law has prevailed, confirming the
ballot-box. Could any thing be better ?
| Even those Fusionists who are not direct
enemies Of our institutions must accept
| the situation. The others are revolutions
-
