AFTER DAMAGED GOODS.

The Rush at the Store Rivaled by the Del
vers at the Ruins-The Industrious Ma
tive Women of Mendoza Gather Bushels
of Treasures Out of the Cinders and Tote
Them to Their Wigwams.
The ladies of the native American colony at
Mendoza have not neglected the opportunity
which has SO interested their white sisters-of
obtaining damaged goods-which has been af
forded by the late fire in the Davidson block.
While their white sisters have thronged to the
store on West Third street to buy damaged
goods, in such numbers as to require that a
policeman be stationed at the door to keep
them from crushing each other the dusky
maids and matrons from Mendoza have indus
triously delved among the charred and muddy
debris in and about the burned building fer
remnants of goods which were thrown aside as
worthless by those who have been ex.
plorlng the ruins on behalf of
Messrs. Auerbach, Finch, Culbertson & Co. and
their underwriters. Among the debris the In
dian women have every day since the fire found
many parcels which were to them great treas
ures, but Saturday was their time for bonan-
zas. The soaking rain kept everybody else
away, they had the field to themselves, and
when they went to the afternoon train for their
homewsrd trip they were all heavily loaded.
Indeed most of them had two or three great
trips from their mine to the depot 1t was a
sight to see them showing each other their
finds and chatting. laughing and criticising-

handkerchiefs, half burned, rolls of oiled
cloth and wall paper, with the ends burned to

needles-dirty, rusty and part fused: and such
a miscellaneous lot OF odds and ends, scraps
and fragments, as would puzzle anyone to
enumerate. But they are veritabIe treasures to
these people; for many of the articles, washed
and mended. will answer their uses; many a
bit of finery will be worked out; and, since no
laws of fashion or arbitrary taste embarass
them, by piecing and patching they will make
garments of what shopping ladies would call
rags; and, as for the half burned combs,
brushes, spectacles. pins and needles, who can
say what civilizing influences their possession
may have.

The increase in births does not appear to be
as great rs would be expected from the estimat-
ed increase of population by immigration
during the Six years named, but the
excess of births over deaths, having now
reached IL, $50 year, will probably give nat
ural increase of population for the next ten
years larger than has been estimated as gained
by immigration during the last ten years.
The detailed reports of deaths for 1878 show
that 8, TAI were males and 1886 females; 1850
were single, mostly young children, 1870 were
married and 465 widowed. The largest num-
Der OF d. aths in one county was 664. in Hen
nepin. Other populous counties are reported
as follows: Ramsey, 5l1; Winons. 32l; Blue
Earth, 1922; Goodhue, 1853; and Fillmore,
298. The largest number of deaths are re-
ported for the last half of the year, the reports
by months being as follows: January, 442;
February, 425; March, 534; April, 534; May,
506; june ATT; July, 5S5; August, 7S9; Sep
TENDER, 745; October, sos; November, $50;
December, 66S.
Of the 22,293 children born in the State
in 1878 1927 were males and 1O.9O9
females the sex of 81 not being reported. The
excess of males over females in the births of
six years was as follows: 1873, GAG; 1874, 500:
1875, SOB; 1876, sos; 1877, 353; 1878, 4lS. As
the excess of males over females in the deaths
of 1878 was 455, it may be concluded that Min
nesota is not yet producing surplus of
women. The births in the most populous
counties in 1878 are reported as follows: Blue

State during the year number 266 males and

favored in this respect were Carver,

Any farmer can make the comparison witt
the cost and profits of wheat culture under the
most favorable circumstances as to yield and
prices, and figure difference of 800 to 400 pc
cent. in favor of hemp.
DOES HEMP CULTURE EXHAUST THE LAND AS MUCI
AS WHEAT?
MIR. John R. Proctor has made a valuable re
port to the governor of Kentucky upon heml
culture, from which the following extract il
made:
Chemical investigations of the hemp plan
by Sir r. Kane and DR.. Robert Peter prove tina
whilst an average crop of hemp takes only al
amount OF potash from an acre varying from
less than one pound to less than one-third of
pound, the wheat crop takes nearly So pounds
the corn crop more than eight in the graiI
alone, and the tobacco crop nearly sevent,
pounds; and while the hemp crop carries of
only from one and quarter to two pounds o
phOsphOric acid, the wheat will take more thar
nine, the corn more than eleven in the grail
alone, and the tobacco more than eight pounds.
MIR. Proctor adds that hemp has been grown
for number of years on the same ground il
Central Kentucky without a perceptible deteri
Grafton of the fertility of the soil.
PLANTING, CULTURE AND HARVESTING.
Early sowing is recommended, but wher
prevented by the weather hemp may be SOW,
in Kentucky as late as June 1. The same rule
will undoubtedly apply in Minnesota
1t is sown broadcast or with drill and, ma
lures in eleven to thirteen weeks. 1t is Gu
with hook, days work being about half al
acre.
1t is spread out on the ground to dry about
week, then placed in shocks until the prope
season for spreading out to rot, which in Ken
lucky is November or December.
1t is to be water rotted. Vats and other re
ceptacles for water are provided, and a few
days sleeping is sufficient to prepare it fol
breaking.
On hand brake man will break from 10l
to 200 pounds per day.
Machines have recently been invented which
will break more and reduce the cost.
This will be sufficient as a prims
facia statement. If any Minnesots
farmer desires to plant few
acres ST hemp, he can do SO from these direc
tions, and further and more minute informa
ton can be obtained before his crop is ready to
harvest. Hemp seed can be obtained in St
Paul. or procured from Maysville, Kentucky o.

ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING.
The annual city school meeting held Satur-
day night was better attended than any previous
meeting held in this city. By 7:3O o'clock
High School hall was well filled.
The large attendance was due to the fact that
q story leaked out on Friday and Saturday that
men opposed to retaining Supt. Gorrie were
endeavoring to obtain sufficient support to
elect members to the board who would engage
another superintendent, and vice versa. Both
stories got generally circulated Saturday, and a
hot time at the meeting was anticipated.
Before the time of meeting the complexion
of affairs assumed the term of Gorrie and anti
Gorrie, but the way it is put by many, and
with some show of truth, one side stood in favor
of electing an unprejudiced, impartial board,
and the other of one which would be in favor
of electing another superintendent, and the
latter side had it all their own way, being in
the majority.
The meeting was called to order by District
Clerk F. Siebold land VIM. M. McClue elected
to the chair.
The reading of the reports of the clerk and
treasurer of the district was called for, both
gentlemen responding.
CLERKS REPORT.
Mr.. Siebold, in reading his report, adverted
briefly to the work of the board during the
year, the increase in the number of schools by
one primary department, the engagement of 6
teacher to instruct scholars in branches
in which they were behind thei1

school grounds, the suit of Marion Yorks
brought for damages, and the engagement Of

There was another pOstponement of the Dom
nelly Washburn case by the election commit
tee. This is ostensibly because Mr.. Manning.
of the majority, wants time in which to prepare
an answer to the elaborate report written by
Mr.. Keifer. The truth of the matter is that
the Democrats of the committee are in a guam
Diary as to what to do. They do not seem to be
united upon seating Donnelly, although they
will vote to unseat Washburn. Their chief
object being to secure the State of Minnesota,
they cannot see how simply unseating Wash.
burn will do them any good. Probably another
reason why a vote was not taken was because of
the absence of Chairman Springer, who is away
on bis tri-weekly visit to New York. 1t is
thought that a vote may be taken on next
Tuesday.
