The Glorious Harvest.

The cool weather, beginning with
Thursday of last week, has inaugurated
a condition OF things which assures q
truly golden harvest. We all have rea'
son to rejoice at the prospect. The bar
ley and rye are already harvested and
ont of the way. The cool days for the
past week have given that condition
which is exactly necessary for filling
the berry to its utmost perfection. The
Yumors of rust, once alarming, no long
or occasion fear. The heavy rains wash
ed most of the rust off the leaves and
there never was much on the stalks. On
Monday the wheat harvest will begin in
earnest. The oats is very heavy and il
now being cut in many places. The
corn is simply superb. Taking it all in
all, we shall have more produce in Blue
Earth county this year than ever before

The MdnkafO Oh Mtll.

A correspondent from this city to the
Chattield Democrat, gives the following
account of our Oil Mill and of tho en-
largement proposed:
Flax raising is carried on in this vicini-
ty, and indeed to the west Of US to very
considerable extent, and good market
is found for the secd-the only portion
used at present at tho Mankato Oil
Works in this city. These works are
among the oldest and best paying manu-
featuring establishments IN the city. l
have been unable to get any very exact
information as to the amount OF oil made
or seed used, because no one here knows
anything nearer than an about" but
the buildings and machinery arc now
being overhaulcd and eXten-
sively rcfitted and improved, and large
additions made to the producing capaci
ty of the works; which corroborates the
report that the linseed oil business is
the best paying businessin the city.-The
mills are quite extensive however, and
from an intelligent operative formerly
in the works, learned that the average
consumption of seed was some 800 bush
els daily, and the product about two gal
Ions of oil to the bushel. With the i'm
provements now making completed the
consumption will be increased 500 bush
el of seed per day, and corresponding
increase will be made of course in the
product of oil. The price paid for flax
seed at the mill, varies from one dollar
upward, and the principal proprietor
told me yesterday that they paid as high
as $3.50 per bushel for seed last sum-
mer. The oil finds ready market here
or in Chicago, and the "cake" is said to
be exported to England in large guam
titles.

The New Professor Of the Nor.

The Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph
has the following just compliment to
Prof. Edmund Soaring, who takes
charge hereafter of our Normal
School:
Edward Soaring has left his home
at Milton, in this State, for the pur-
pose Of becoming a resident of Min
nesota. and has been appointed princi-
pal of the MankatO Normal School. 1t
is a cause for regret in. Wisconsin
that Prof. Soaring finds it to his in
terest to become resident Of another
State. He Is the best educational
man that has ever been resident of
this State. without an exception. His
scholarship is of the highest order.
He is an accomplished master of the
theory and practice Of instruction, is
progressive without being Extensively
radical, and has conservation enough
to keep in view the ancient landmarks
and the old authorities. which, while
no longer indispensable in guidance
and learning, are extremely useful
for their treasury of science, and in
the study of the fair humanities which
go to make up the rounded sum of a
complete education. His irreproach.
able personal character, his cleanli.
ness mentally, educatiOnally and ofiici.
ally, his freedom Of personal preju.
dice and rancor, and his charming re.
spectability render him a model in
private life and in his profession. His
services ought to have been permanent
ly secured in connection with the edu.
cational system Of this State, but the
vicissitudes Of politics made it i'm
possible for him to hold the office of

The neV Roof on the Normal.

After all, so far as the Normal School
building is concerned, the storm was a
benefit in disguise. The new top is not
only INTELLECTUALLY much finer than the
old one, but under the experimenting
care of J. A. James, all the defects of
the old top are now being carefully rem
edicd. The roof and towers are doubly
anchored to the whole building, and
will be perfectly secure in the future.
We shall not only have handsomer,
but in all respects q safer and better
building than before. The work will
be done in time for Prof. Soaring to
open school at the appointed day.

The defeat OF the British forces at Can1ahar
instead OF proving an embarrassment to the
Gladstone government in dealing with the
Afghanistan question, promises to simplify 1t.
The general demand OF the English people now
Is that the crushing disaster must De avenged
and the government have but TO push forward
a vigorous campaign against the Afghans to
meet the public approval. The British nation
was in critical mood. especially with regard
to Indian affairs and management, and more
particularly as U AfghanlStan, up TO the time
the news OF this defeat was received. Now
criticism is drowned by the clamor for revenge,
and the government needs only TO move for
ward In accordance with this camor.
RttnfOrcementS have already been Or
der6d out, and the authorities are being
urged 10 put Sir Garnet Wolseley in
Chief command OF the forces in Afyhani5tan.
The dispatches received so far give but meager
reports or Burrows defeat, and some OF them
are conflicting. The next news may be that
the A1ghanS, flushed with victory have taken
Candahar. Very little IS known 10 London OF
the situation, and much uneasinesS Is felt for
the garrison. Should the Afghans succeed In
capturing Candahar they would. no doubt, give
full sway 10 their barbarouS and bloody method
of warfare, and not only British soldiers but
all who have given them any aid or sympathy
would be dealt With In Afghan style At best.
Inc troops at CaRdahar are Ia rather desperate
situation, and they cannot be relieved for some
time.
