Among the bills which passed the
Minnesota Legislature was one pro-

been able to get through with except
after long and tedious delays.

LEGISLATION FOR REDWOOD, CO.

La discussing the question Of the
selection CT candidate Tor Repre-
sentative, last fall, the supporters of
Mr.. Bradley for that position claimed
the importance of having member
who would be devoted to our local
interests, and we think even those
who then bitterly opposed Mr.. 3. will
admit that he has accomplished as
much for us as could have been done
by any one. He has attended to his
duties faithfully, and seems to have
won the respect and esteem of all
with whom he was associated. The
following acts relating to Redwood
county have been approved:
An act authorizing the board of
county commissioners to attach frac-
tional township lib, range 81, to any
adjoining organized town without
petition.
An act legalizing all organized
towns in Redwood county, and con-
tirming the action OF the commits
sioners in organizing the same.
An act abating all personal taxes
on the tax lists in Redwood county
against persons in Yellow Medicine
county, and authorizing the auditor
of this county to certify all delin-
quent taxes, as appears from the tax
lists in thi, county, against real prop
er.y in Yellow Medicine county to
the county auditor of said county,
and making it his duty to extend the
same against the said lands for the
year 1880; and when the tax is col
lected it is, with the exception of the
State tax, to be paid over to this
county, thus saving to Redwood
county

subject threadbare, for people are be-
ginning to wake up to the fact that
plenty of sleep is requisite to health.
particularly in the case OF brain work
ers. The more sleep the brain gets
the better does the brain work. All
great brain workers have been great
sleepers. Sir Walter Scott could never
do with less than ten hours. A fool
may want eight hours. as George I'LL.
said, but a philosopher wants nine. The
men who have been the greatest Cen
erals are the men who could sleep at
will. Thus il was with both Wellington
and Napoleon. The greatest speakers
in the House of Commons have been
the men who go 10 sleep there as much
nifty of the aged Palmerston. Sleep is
in nlany cases the best of medicines.
A friend told me that he treated HIM
self for a fever. He went to bed with
a large pitcher of lemonade by his
side. He drank and slept. slept and

Brothers Meet for tine First Time.

While at Cleveland the other day we
met man named &. Dinkle, who re-
sided at McLeansburg, Ill. He had
come 10 Cleveland the day before to
meet brother. Sixteen years ago
ID nkle left his home in Germany and
came to America he settled in South
ern Illinois, began farming and butch
ering. He prospered, married, and
has ever since been doing thriving
business. few weeks after leaving
his home in the cd country brother
was uShered into the world, who was
given the name of Andrew. The latter,
few months ago, expressed a desire
to come to this country and labor with
his elder brother for home aud 4
fortune Arrangements were made for
his coming, and the Illinois brother
agreed to meet him at Cleveland last
Friday. They had never seen each
other. When the train from New IOr X
pulled in, as may be supposed, the
brothers were anxious. and with no.
body to point the other out how were
they to know each other? The elder
one took stand near the platform of
the cars, and as the hundreds of passen-
gers stepped down, his eyes riveted
themselves upon the countenance of
each. Finally they rested upon a neat
addressed, stout-built. beardless boy,
and at about the same instant the lat
ter's eyes met the waiting brother 5.
Without a word spoken by either. they
made rush for each other and clasped
in a vigorous embrace. 1t was some
time before either could speak, but
when their tongues did become loose
they ratified away at won lerfully
rapid rate. The next train bore them
TO their home in the West.-Bearer

The Body Of an Indiana Woman Turned
into Stone.

Sixteen miles west of this city. on the
State line division of the Panhandle
Railroad. is situated the village Of Ida
vile. Near this place is located
cemetery. and in this silent city of the
dead a discovery has lust been made
which can indeed be characterized as
strange and sensational. A few days
ago a man named Samuel Wilson de-
sired TO remove the remains OF his wife.
who died six years ago, and those of his
father. whose death took place thirteen
years since. Accordingly. he pro-
cured hello, and the work of excavating
began. The grave in which the fathers
remains lay was first opened. when it
was found that nothing except the bare
skeleton remained. Then The wiie's
grave, which was less than two feet
distant. was excavated. Upon reach
ing the bottom the startling dis
coyery was made that the body was
petrified. The arms and limbs. how
ever, had withstood the effect of
whatever element in the earth had
caused the petrifaction TO occur.
and nothing remained of them but the
bones. The trunk of the body was as
hard as flint, and upon being taken
from the grave was found to weigh
about three hundred pounds, while the
woman during her life weighed about
one hundred and forty pounds. The
case has caused good deal of interest
10 be manifested in the matter, and, al
though the wise men of the neighbor-
h BOD have put their heads together in
counsel, they can study out no satisfac-
tory reason why the woman's body
should thus be turned into stone and
the other remains, located SO near,
should be in no way affected by the pet
rifying influence. Another strange
feature of the case is the fact OF the
arms and limbs turning to dust while
the remainder of the body hardened
into stone. The woman whose remains
are thus attracting so much attention
was once res dent of Harrison Town
ship, this county. and it was there she
and sAlr Wilson were married. She
was a daughter of John Small. re-
spected old farmer, and herself and
husband took up their residence near
ldaville about the year 1867. This case
of petrifaction is the only one ever
known in this section of Indiana, and,
as a natural consequence, large num-
Der of people have taken the pains to
see the strange sight. -Logansport

M. Boudet has constructed an APP

M. Boudet has constructed an APP
paratus for relieving pain by mechani-
cal vibration. 1t consists OF a tuning
fork kept in constant vibration by an
electromagnetic, and the tremors thus
produced are communicated directly to
The skin by means OF rod. The
efficacy of vibrations is no doubt due to
the irritating effects of the shocks on
the terminal twigs of the nerves. and it
is expected that many kinds of pain
will be dispelled by the use of this APP
pliance. When the nerves are not too
deep-seated. Boudet apparatus is said
to be capable of charming away neu-
ralgia in q few minutes. When it is
applied to the skull it produces a sense
Of giddiness and desire to sleep.

A matchmaker in Newcastle

A matchmaker in Newcastle, Pa,
says Pittsburgh paper, has completed
a set OF three gold shirt studs, in one
OF which is a watch that keeps excellent
time. the dial being about three-eights
of an inch in diameter. The three
studs are connected by a strip of silver
inside the shirt bosom. aud the watch
contained in the middle one is wound
up by turning the stud above, and the
hands are set by turning the one be-
low. But perhaps the most remarka-
BILE thing about the liliputan machine
is that ii works with a pendulum, ike
a clock. and the pendulum will act with
ease and accuracy in whatever position
the timepiece is placed, even if it be
turned upside down.
