An OLD AND INTERESTING BOOK.-Mr.
Joseph Scwcll of this place has an old
book in his possession which is very in
tcrcsting as to its matter, and is doubtless
quite valuable on account Of its age. 1t
is the second volume of Il history of Eng
land. beginning at William the Conqueror
and ending with Queen Elizabeth. 1t was
printed in the year 1868. The print is
principally German text with little Ro-
man type. The book contains GIL pages
and is in good state Of preservation. 1t
is bound in calf. The punctuation, which
consists of commas, colons and periods,
is arranged with an exactness that would
delight the most punetilions proof-rcader.
This work is an excellent specimen CT
the typography of more than three hun
drcd years ago.

WHERE TIE c. & n. ": WILL Cross
THE M1ssoUR1-A correspondent of the
Pioneer Press says Chief Engineer Blunt
of the Winona and st. Peter Railroad re-
ports that it was decided, at conference
of the officials in Chicago, that the road
should cross the Missouri river at Fort
George Island, just below the mouth of
Medicine creek. This crossing will be
about six miles by road and fifteen miles
by river south Of Fort Pierre. This de-
cision of the company will be Of great
Importance to settlers, but it is also to be
remarked that the crossing is on the res
ervation-a reservation, however, which
is understood to be such one by procia
nation, and may be vacated and thrown
open at any time by the President of the
United States. The Missouri river is 1870
miles west of Volga, the present western
terminus of the Dakota Central. Track
laying was commenced carly this month
by Wells & Co., and they are spiking
down the iron at the rate Of mile and 4
quarter day. The contract for the last
100 miles of the road to the Missouri
river has been awarded to a Milwaukee
firm, to be finished by the LIST Of October
When the road reaches the Missouri river
it will be within 10 miles Of the Black
Hills.

WHERE TO TRADE-As the season has
now arrived when the problem of ''Nhere
shall we purchase our spring and summer
clothing, is being discussed in almost
every household, we have few sugges
tons to make to our readers on that
point.
In anticipation of your demands the
merchants of Redwood Falls have pur-
chased an unusually large amount Of just
such articles as will be required by all
classes and conditions of men. When
you have made up your mind to buy,
consult the columns of the GAZETTE to
find out where you can get bargains.
Anything you may need you can buy as
cheap here as elsewhere. If you live
anywhere in the surrounding country, it
will pay you to come to Redwood Falls
to buy your supplies. And to our own
citizens we would say, it is waste OF
money and time to 60 away from home
to do your shopping when you can pro-
cure from our business men what you
want. There is no reason why you
should do so. Our dealers are alive and
full of enterprise. Buying for cash, as
they nearly all do, they are able to dis
count their own bills and give the bcnefi,
of it to their customers.
These observations are not meant tc
apply to those engaged in any particul.l
line of trade. but include all the variou.
branches of business represented at thi.
point. We trust that all right-mindef
people will look upon this matter in it.

lions. Spend your money in your owl

A DARK DAY.-Sunday, the 18th day of
April, 1880, will long be remembered as
"thc dark day at Redwood Falls. The
early morning was cloudy and there were
many indications of Il storm. About the
time the church gocrs were returning
home it commenced to get very dark.
From 1870 o'clock until about three p. N.
it was impossible to read without the aid
Of lamp, and in almost every house
lights could be seen. Tie heavens were
overcast with threatening clouds except
for short distance above the western
horizon, where there was clear piece of
sky which resenbled the limpid waters of
a tranquil lake. About 3:15 p. M, the
storm eliminated, and for about twenty
minutes hail, considerably larger than n
pea fell, fast and furiously. The ground
was covered with it in all directions.
After the hail had fallen, it became per-
fectly clear. A slight wind then sprang
up, which increased in velocity until it
blew perfect gale. 1t was the fiercest
wind storm experienced in this locality
for years, and had all the characteristics
of the genuine blizzard except the in
tense cold. A slight snow fell during the
night. Taking it altogether it was a
most singular streak of weather, and the
like of it has never been seen by the
oldest inhabitant Of this town or county

THE INDIAN QUESTION
THE RED MAN SHOULD BE TREATED fAIRL,

THE RED MAN SHOULD BE TREATED FAIRLY.
Never before in the history OF this
country has there been such an awaken
in behalf Of the Indian Never before
such healthy sentiment for justice and
fair play for the original owners Of the
soil over which our fifty millions of pros
porous people unfurl the flag of the free.
The Indian question, like the ghost of
Banquo, is at every banquet. 1t will
not down until "Bilnam wood do come
to Dunsinane" Hundreds of years OF
broken faith, during which ambuscades,
massacres, fired Indian camps, blazing
wigwams and smouldering embers OF
burned villages, have stewn the path
way of our march of empire, until now
upon every lip is the inteTogatory,
What shall be done with the Indian
All the Indian asks, all his friends ask
for him is fair chance.
1t has been we'll said that i'll good

from his home, except as he removes
himself by his own volition. Let every
acre of land now occupied under treaty
or by any other document by which the
United States have seeded and relin
cuished" the same, DO held sacredly
theirs forever, unless the citizen Indian
chooses to sell it. Let there be ne
more the policy of seclusion, but rather
that of absorption. Let all covenants
between the government and the Indian
be executed as promptly and faithfully
as with any other person. Let the In
dian citizen have his own home with al
the protection of national and state gov

the same protection of law, and require
from him the same obedience to law as

and the black man, and then the Indian
will work out his own destiny. - Gen

STILL THERE
WAX RAISING,

Talking of bees makes one think Of
wax. The white wax industry OF Sze-
chuen, China, however, does not depend
on bees. IT is peculiar and growing
industry Baron Richthofen estimates
the value Of the annual crop, on the
average, ut about $3,250,O00. In 1879
upward OF S405, 900 worth of this curious
chronological secretion was exported
from the one port of Hankow alone.
White wax is the mere emulation of an
insect in state of disease, aggravated
probably by the operation of an uncon
genial climate, and favored by the
presence of tree for which the creature
has an affinity In the Keenchang dis.
trict an evergreen, known as the Ligus.
trum medium, thrives IN abundance, and
on its twigs, in the spring of the year,
countless flies swarm like brown film.
The branches soon become covered with
white, soapy incrustatlon that in
creases III volume until the commence
ment of the fall of the year, when the
sprays are cut off and immersed in water
which is kept boiling. The viscid sub.
stance rises to the surface, and is skim
med of, melted, and allowed to cool in
deep pans. 1t was accidentally dis.
covered that, by transporting the insects
from their native district to the more
vigorous one of Heating Flu. in the north
of the province, their capability OF dis
charging wax was largely augmented
property which was promptly and ex-
tensiyely availed Of by the Sze-chuen
traders. The period between evening
and morning is chosen for conveyance,
because many hours Of sunlight would
precipitate the Matching. This should
take place only after the females nave

their destination, six or more of the

later the young flies are swarming on the
twigs, where they fulfill their mission by
the month of August. Then they

MUSICAL VOIOBs,

Doctor Delaunay, in paper read re-
Gently before the French Academy of
Medicine, gives some details of the his
tory and limits of the human voice,
which he obtained after much patient
research. According to the doctor, the
primitive inhabitants of Europe were all
tenors; their descendants of the present
day are baritones, and their grandsons
will have semi bass voices. Looking at
different races, he calls attention to the
fact that inferior races, such as the ne
groes, etc, have higher voices than
white men. The voice has also tend
ency to deepen with age--the tenor of
sixteen becoming the baritone at twenty
five, and bass at thirty -five. Fair-com-
plexioned people have higher voices
than the dark skinned, the former being
usually sopranos or tenors, the latter
contraltos or basses.
"Tenors," says the DOCTOR "are
slenderly built and thin; BASES are
stoutly made and corpulent." This
may be the rule, but one is inclined to
think there are more exceptions to it
than are necessary to prove the rule.
The same remark applies to the asser-
ton that thoughtful, intelligent men,
have always deep-toned voice;
whereas trihers and frivolous persons
have soft, weak voices. The tones Of
the voice are perceptibly higher, be
points out, before than after a meal,
which is the reason why tenors dine
early, in order that their voices may not
suffer. Prudent singers eschew strong
drinks and spirituous liquors, especially
tenors, but the BASES can eat and drink
generally with impunity. "The SOUTH"
says the doctor. furnishes the tenors,
the north the basses;" in proof OF
which he adds, that the majority OF
French tenors come from the south OF
France, whilst the BASES belong 10 the
northern department.
