The Winter has been long and
dreary in this section of country, but
in no wise so severe as in other por
tons of the Union. In fact, the suf
ferings of the people of this section
have been comparatively light, and
now the Spring has opened and the
dreariness of Winter has disappeared
with all it's gloomy apprehensions of
what might happen to rs before the
close of Winter, we find our people
from every quarter with faces radiant
with hope of faithful and prosper
GUS season. Farmers who visit the
town seem to be full Of bright pros
poets, and none seem detected and
spiritless. They all claim that barring
a fear that the freighting rates of the
transportation companies to market
may be too high, they have no doubt
of making good success in grain pro
ducing the coming season. Many con-
template raising large crops Of flax
while others say they will put in a
moderate crop of each class of grain,
SO that what will be lost by one, will
be more than made good by the gain
on the others. They are all deeply
interested in the constructing of roads
connecting their ranches with the out
side world, and in many places they
are putting forth the labor of entire
neighborhoods this Spring in the con
structipg and repairing the roads
The grasshopper scare is mostly oh
liberated from the signs which are nov
apparent, and hope is predominen
everywhere.

Darkness is one of the many mysterl-
Gus aids to premature death, and light
is an essential requisite to good health
This fact will he promptly acknowleds-
ed by the most biased skeptic if Olsen
terestedly tested by personal expert
ment. Most of US are familiar with
the persistent inclination of house
plants towards the light, the slckly
growth of outdoor plants unduly shad-

confined criminals, the sallow complex
ion of foresters, the ghastly counter
ance Of underground laborers, etc, etc.
All of which should be a solemn warn
ing to occupants of dark rooms and
shaded houses.
In California, in the year 1856, the
writer visited q neighhor who had pur-
chased four imported swine, keeping
one pair in small inclosure under a
large, heavily -foliaged livcoak tree,
and the others in a simila" Enclosure in
the open prairie. The latter were
thriving, while the former refused
their food, and seemed to be suffering
iron, some undiscovered disease. 1t
~ Suggested to change the occupants
from sac pen to the other, and contin-
ue the same treatment. This was done
and the good and poor health Of the
swine was reversed, corresponding with
the reversed conditions. 1t was again
suggested and acted on, to remove the
illfated pen under the tree to thu. open
prairie, and in few days the owner
was very much pleased and surprised
at the good health Of all the animals

Mrs. Lincoln.

SPRINGFIBLD, ILL.,, July l2.--The condi-
ton of Mrs. Lincoln's health is much I'M
proved. She took a carriage ride with Mrs.
Judge Edwards yesterday, and has been able
to receive callers for several days past. The
news of the attempted assassination of Gar
field was a great shock to her, and for a day
she was almost Frustrated. When the news
was announced she exclaimed "Oh, can it
be that the President of this country IS no
longer safe from assassins? Oh, how terri
BILE! Who did it," With eyes suffused
with tears she repeatedly murmured: ''Poor
Mrs. Garfield and she retired to her room,
remaining there until the next day. Since
then, with the aid of her physicians, friends,
and the hopeful news concerning the condi-
ton of the President, she has regained her
spirits, and is gradually growing stronger,
though she is not free from pain. 1t is not
likely tina she will ever wholly recover from
the effects of a spinal injury received while
in Europe, or that she will be able to travel
beyond The limits of the city OF her home.
The recollection of her travels abroad and
her life at Washington seems to afford her
great pleasure, and she never tires in recount
ing the scenes and incidents of those notable
periods Of her life.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Minnesota's Debt and Elective Ju.
dietary.

The debt of Minnesota is as far from set
tied as ever, and it is likely to remain so.
The people having at three successive cleo
lions, voted in favor of sloughing off the
debt, it was resolved to take the matter out
of their hands by a legal trick and give the
question over to a tribunal of five judges, who
should investigate and report whether the
debt was legal or not. Here came the diff
Guilty. ALI the judges are elective in Mime
sofa and are consequently afraid to offend the
people, and so every one of them lodged this
debt tribunal and refused to sit on it on one
pretext or another. The judges Of the Su-
preme Court could not do so because most of
them had been attorneys in the case at one
time or another; and it was the same through
out the judiciary. The court of five judges
which was to pass on the matter cannot be
obtained, and so the question will have to be
submitted to the popular vote again. 1t is
supposed that the majority of the people viii
agree to a compromise.-N. Y. Commercial
Bulletin.
