Mr.. w. T. Guild passed through st. Paul a

where he has selected sites for colony Of
New Englanders He stated that the colony
had been formed, and consisted of families
from Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island and Mass
achusetts, portion of which will make the
change in January, and the Others in March.
They will all locate in the vicinity OF Bis
marck, and will invest, on the average, in one
half section per family. A considerable per-
centage of these colonists are said to be wom-

the heads OF families. 1t is the intention of
the party to bring with them large lot of

The sun of prosperity always has shone on

one weakness, that of intemperance. He

misfortune. His home circle, consisting
of his wife, four girls and boy, was one
of the most attractive to be anywhere met
with. He possessed an accomplished and
lovely wife, and his domestic
happiness should have been perfect.
Highly social in nature, generous to

of those qualities that win and keep

AN eloquent preacher in fashionable
church in Pittsburg, Pa, on recent Sabbath
discourse, alleged that: ''extravagance is De-
culiarly an American vice and is shown in
nearly all that we do. We see it in the hasty
opinions, wild assertions and exaggerated de-
scriptions of our everyday companions. Ex-
travagances creates with us an inordinate love
for riches. We seek wealth not because we
are nation of msers, but that we may carry
on the craze of profuse prodgality. This wild
hunt for riches interferes with the happiness
of our families. 1t blights the growth of the
church, and causes us to neglect the proper
cultivation of our minds. Two-thirds of our
church men think if they are liberal when the
basket is passed. they can bribe their way into
heaven. God demands our service, and any
thing that interferes with this holds us back
from that which was provided for every man
in Christ. To illustrate: A young lady was
dying She called for her last new dress, and
when it was brought before her she upbraded
her parents for directing her whole attention
to dress. She had devoted her time to show,
and everything good had been crowded out.

chamber you have nothing to wear. Nations
have only secceeded by frugality and industry,
but have always sunk by RIGHTEOUSNESS and
extravaganza"

again ambitious Of political distinction,
and has returned to Colorado with that
idea in view. 1t il said among business
men that the firm Of Grant x Ward, in
which Gen. Grant has all interest, di-

length.
He would measure an urchin and then
have the scholar try TO reproduce the

off an inch or foot, or yard, in some
conspicuous place. and then see how
near anybody could come to chalking
the same length upon the blackboard.

An official document published by the
servian Government says that the ex-
port Of wine from Servia has during the
last two years acquired some importance.
In 1879 the export amounted to 100000
hectolitres, The harvest Of 1880 has not
given as great yield as was anticipated
lest spring, and the quantity exported
has only been third of that Of the pre-
vious year. The province Of Kraina, the
principal wine producing district, yielded
only 250O0 hectolitres. The demand for
Servian wines has been considerably i'm
creased in consequence of the damage
done by the phylloxera in France, which
country has been the principal pur-
chaser. Switzerland and South Ger
many have also imported smaller guam

FLAX.

There are many districts in the United

The large export trade in American flax.
seed which has set in within the past
few weeks is worthy of attention, since
it is al excellent illustration of The
changing condition of our foreign trade.
In 1878 there were imported into the
United States S,7s3 S44 bushels OF lin.
seed principally from Calcutta. The
imports ofsuch seed reached their height
that year. and have since been steedily
diminishing, owing 10 the increased cul-
tivation of American seed and the con.
sequent enhancement Of the quantity of
oil made therefrom. In 1880 the imports
