SEAsoNABIE.-Somc of the unititiated
may wonder why many of our men folk,
heads of families especially, wear such
woebegone expressions and appear as il
they would like to lay down and stay there.
But it is no secret to those of US who have
been in the annual war of house cleaning,
and we can now shed sympathetic tear
as we grasp the hand of fellow sufferers.
1t makes man weary to lug piano round
a room, and plant it in every corner, in
vain efforts to find q suitable position, he
feels positively cross when he has struggled
for an hour with a contrary stove pipe, and
by the time he has stepped on a tack, and
sat down on his wifes bonnet, he is not an
angel, but is rather inclined to be sullen
an has a tendency to moroscness. Men
can become accustomed to almost any
thing, but we never yet came across one
who can ever hear of house cleaning, with
out his showing signs of a deplorable and
lamentablc deficiency in his powers of
self control, especially as regards the reek-
SUICIDE.-Last Sunday afternoon the
body of man was discovered floating
close to the shore, in the lake or slough
near town. An inquest was held Monday
and the following particulars were elected.
From papers on the person of the deceased
it was asceltained that his name was Tel
| lof Guttomson Roraas, and a naturalization
paper was dated st. Louis County Nov. 9th
1870, an envelope with his name was ad-
dressed 507 North First st. Minneapolis.
1t appears Guttomson came here and went
out to work ON the railroad for a man
named Halverson, sub contractor. Short
ly after he arrived at Graceville he became
quarrelsome, and was evidently insane, as
he not only tried to pick fuss with the
other men, but he also endeavored to brain
himself with an axe. He was brought to
town Thursday last, and while the two
men who accompanied him were tempo
rarily absent, he disappeared and was not
again seen alive, although search was
everywhere made. The further fact of his
threatening to take his life at the first OPP
portunity, and declaring he would never
eat or drink again, led to the conclusion
that he had committed suicide while labor
ing under fit of temporary insanity. The
jury rendered a verdict in accordance with
the facts as above stated.

"Bring Flowers"


IN MEMoRIAM-MRs. CHAs. A. MOORE, ST. PAUL.
Did We lay cluster Of rarest flowers,
Close to the heart that loved them well?
The precious heart! that beat for it's own,
With tenderness it might not tell.
Did we wreath the casket with cypress-vines,
And lower it down in some sheltered spot
Where the first spring flower, that DER it climbs
Will be the blue Forget-me-not?
If only her quiet grave could have been
In the forests shade, where violets blow,
And the white Beth-lily with curling rim,
Keeps watch DER the May flowers, nesting low
Where wildwood songsters, and signing leaves.
Would blend their music in requiems sweet,
And velvet moses and trailing ferns
Weave their noiseless carpet about her feet,
Where wintry blasts could never sweep
Across the mantle Of purest snow
That would calmly fall DER her dreamless sleep,
AS the restless seasons come and go,
But it may not bel yet loving hands,
When ye seek the spot where she lieth low,
Bear the choicest blossoms the summer lends
To her peaceful home, for she loved them So

FIRE.-A fire at the depot last Friday
evening, was fortunately discovered in
time to admit of its being cxtinguished
without doing much damage to either
building or property. The fire was in the
roof, and is supposed to have originated
from sparks from an engine. We appear
to be very fortunate in this village; indeed,
our good fortune is sort of bull-headed
luck, but it does seem as if we should profit
by some of these lessons, and adopt meas
ures to protect our property from the great
danger to which it is constantly exposed.
We dread the day when a fire gets head
way, as it will sooner or later, for we are
utterly powerless and helpless.
RAILROAD Es-The surveyors are
busy at work in this county. One corps
is locating the line in the vicinity of the
Muddy Creek, while another crew is work
ing in this vicinity. We are informed that
it is the intention to make connection with
this line south of town, provided the
branch is extended to Sank Centre, but if
the Company conclude to not build further
east. the junction will probably be made
above the section house. We think the
cause of the junction being located so far
from the present depot, is for the reason
that The lands south of town are all plated
additions to the town site, and it would in.
volve much expense to the company were
their lines to run through this property, as
it would cut up and destroy several blocks.

Col. j. F. Dezendorf.

The proverbially fair spirit which pervades
the editorial columns of the Norfolk Ledger, is
conspicuoqsly manifested in the following arti-
Gle referring to political opponent, -ColJohn
F. Dezendorf, elected to Congress from the
Norfolk District, over Hon. John Goode, who
has represented that district for three terms
past
friendships laws require us to welcome the
coming, speed the departing guest" In poll
tics, however, this law is not generally obsery-
ed. for the simple reason that politics, mike
friendship, brings to our entertainment our
enemies.
We, therefore, cannot speed the parting of
the Hon. John GOode, an honor to our District,
to our State and to the Union, nor can we well
come the coming of Major Dezendort, his
successor. because he is a Republican and
therefore an open enemy to US, as democrats.
But we can say this much for the newly
elected Congressman Heis consistent pol
itician: a faithful advocate of the peculiar
views OF his party; has never protested one
thing to-day and another thing tomorrow and
| therefor e if we must have Republican repre-
sentative in Congress- we prefer John F. Dez-
endnrf to any other member of his party in
the State ofVirginia.
We did all we could honestly to defeat MIN
but now that he is elected, whenever and
wherever we can commend his labors we shall
do 90. and whenever he fails to discharge his
representative duty he shall hear from us, not
hv insnuation or inuendo, but by open ano
nndisguised condemnation.

Controlling the Pork Market.

A Chicago dispatch to the N. Y. World says
the inside history of the great Armour pork
corner" in which the firm made profit of
100000, was made public last Friday. The
history of the operations goes back to the sum-
mer of 1879, at which time Phil. Armour and
his Milwaukee partner, John Plank1ngton,
went to Europe with the intention of corner
ing the pork market of the world. They were
abroad about two months, and during their
absence ordered the purchase of an enormous
amount of provisions including 60 900, 900
pounds of ribs, bought at less than Al cents
per pound, and 10000 barrels of pork, at an
average of only IS per barrel. On their return
to America in September they found the mar
ket strengthening. Prices went up and they
two or three months pork advanced to $14a
BARREL and ribs in proportion. Under the i'm
preston that the boom was going to continue
they made further purchases. Then came the
reaction, pork going from S ID to 1925 in spite
of all that could be done to bolster it. The
$2000,000 went and another $1000,000 after
it. The members of the firm at once set about
retrieving their losses and sent agents through
this country and Europe, and from the reports
made satisfied themselves that the product of
the hog would be in demand for the ensuing
four months. They began in April to pur-
chase all the actual stock in market-about
225, 900 barrels on hand in Chicago and trifle
over 100000 bbls. in store in other cities. This
they bought at prices ranging from $3.50 to
$1,000, the average being about $40. In addi-
ton they secured "options" on ,250, 900 barrels
more and then awaited developments. They
took occasion to let everybody know that they
had all the pork in existence and great deal
more. The manipulators had laid their plans
to force the price up to 800 but they wanted
it to go up gradually But when it became
apparent to the traders and spectators that
great bull movement was on foot, prices were
run up with such rapidity that it was feared
induce them to settle too early. To prevent
such move the Armours threw nearly half
million barrels on the market, and this served
to check the boom and keep it within their
control, and at the same time produce the i'm
preston that they could not or did not carry
out their published programme OF forcing quo
tations to $40. Operations were not alone con-
fined to America but all of Europe was taken
in, and wherever men were found willing to sell
pork they did not have, the ArmOurs were
graciously accommodating. They knew that
they held all the pork and that those who had
sold them the article would have to come to
them for it or settle the differences. The
amount of money that was placed against this
game was enormous. In striking this balance
the lucky owners of the "brace' find that they
have made no less than 100000. In other
words, they got back the $3,000,OOO lost when
pork went down last winter and 100000
besides. The Wall street dealers feel as hard
as their Western brethren in misfortune, and
vast sum of New York money is placed to
the credit of the Chicago bulls"
