west'-Her Great Milling Interests,
 Water Power, Etc.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 5. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 few hours delay gives me time to ''write up" briefly the city and the flour milling in terest, which, in view of the great harvest in this section, is attracting attention to this place from the entire world. Minneapolis has the reputation of being the Chicago of the Northwest. Any one having lived here ten years is an old resident. One person, in giving me his Western experience, said: q came here in 1866 and found population of six thousand. To-day the city claims fifty thousand While many of the improve ments are hastily made and portions of the city are in crude state, yet there are not a few buildings of the highest order. The Se- curity Bank has fine banking house, with vaults and safes far ahead of any have seen in New Haven. am indebted to the cashier, Mir. Dean, for courtesies shown during brief social call
 But I came here to see the famous flour mills and the wheat fields beyond. There are now twenty-five flour mills in operation here, with a total daily capacity of twenty thousand barrels. All of the mills here, un- der the new system of milling, make good flour, but the great Washburn mills take the lead in quantity and quality When the new mill "A' is filled with machinery the capac- ity of the sthree mills 'HA," ''B" and ''C" will be five thousand barrels per day MT. John Crosby, of the firm of Washburn, Cros- by & Go. (and through whose invitation am here), said to me in partial review of their operations ''We have already ground two millions of bushels of the crop of 1S79." The new mill "A" is the most perfect building of the kind in the country. In size the surface of all the floors is 18O, 400 square feet, or over four acres. The machinery moves without jar or noise, and there is an air of neatness and order prevailing the entire building which is truly refreshing. There is a rival spirit between Minneapolis and St. Paul, but the Falls of St. Anthony, furnish ing as it does over one hundred thousand horse power, will enable the former city dur ing the next decade to far outrun her elder sister. Did time permit would go into de- tail more as to this great water power, and also speak of the lumber interest, but I hasten to close, at seven p. m. sharp we must enter a special car rendered by the Northern Pacific railroad to Mir. Crosby for the sole use of our party, and many hours ere you receive this we shall be in what is called the best wheat section of the world. D

 Professor Proctor explains away the Lots wife miracle by proving that she was only buried under meteoric. shower of sodium. Now, this simplifies 1t. This brings 1t out of the fancifuI realm of the supernatural, and places it within the credible sphere of every day events We always had very grave doubts about the pillar of salt business, but when science kindly explains that the poor woman was simply buried under a meteorie fall of sodium, then we can readily accept 1t. There is nothing singular, remarkable or unusual about that.

MANY people in the north, not under

loss to understand why the south is so soldly
democratic. We do not know any better
explanation to give them of southern hos
tilily to republicaniim in the southern
states than the following extract from a
speech made recently by Colonel j. Ii.
French, of Boston, Massachusetts: "The
debt of Louisiana was increased from $ll,-
100000 in 1850 to $29, 100000 in 1870. This
state of things continued all over the south
until the debt of ten southern states was in,
creased from $76,0OO,OOOin 1s6Oto S2l9, OOO,.
900 in 1S70-an amount. greater than the as.
sessed valuation, in 1870, of all the real and
personal property IN the state of Maine OF
Vermont. In fact no one of sixteen states VI
the union had within its borders as much
real and personal property as the republican
csrpet-baggers increased the debt of ten
southern states"
