SECRETARY BLAINE attributes the
numerous reports OF his failing
health to an exercise of diplomacy
on his part in evading at times the
swarms Of visitors at the State De-
partment, who have made it next to
impossible for him to control time
enough to attend to the public bus
mess. Congressman Williams, of
Wisconsin, says he has the diplo-
matte govt.

HAVING taken q good look at the
new Senators at Washington, Mary
Clemmer reports that Eugene Hale
has patrician air, but talks throu,h
his nose; that Frye is boyish look
ing, with q retreating chm under
the nose Of a fighter; that Miller, OF
California, has n worldly but not I'M
pleasant face, a heavy gold watch
chain, and an air of success, ana
far-reaching eyes; that Philetns
SAWYER, of Wisconsin, has big
body, big head, red face, and snowy
hair: that Angus Cameron, his col

deep, dark flashing eyes; that the

Good News for Mineral Point.
c.. d N. w. r. r. COMING.
Let Us Make it Soon.

An associated press dispatch,
seemingly with authority, says that
the Chicago 81 Northwestern Rail-
way Company has announced its in
tention to build four branches or
extensions in Wisconsin this sum.
mer One is from point on the
Wisconsin river, in Crawford county,
opposite Woodman, to Tomah, in
Monroe county, there to connect
with the Wisconsin Valley road.
This will be an extension Of the
Chicago & Tomah road, now built
to Woodman, and, with a branch to
to the Viroqua extension, will be
one hundred miles long. Other
branches projected are from Mont
fort Junction, on the Milwaukee e
Madison air line, to point north.
The forth project is to build from
Dodgeville, on an air line south in
Iowa county, to Mineral Point, a
distance of nine miles, and there to
connect with the Mineral Point
road.
We have confidence that the
sxtention from near Dodgeville to
Mineral Point is among the plans
OF the Northwestern, but to insure
its being carried out soon, some en-
courage ment by our city may be
necessary. A meeting of the citi'
zens should be held at once, to con-
slider what, if any action is neces-
sary. There are reasons to believe
that if the right of way is secured
and rendered to the company within
a month, the road will be built this
year. Without such encouragement
it may be delayed indefinitely. A
committee should be appointed to
open correspondence Immediately,
and if satisfactory response Is re-
eeived from the company canvassing
for subscription might be completed,
and right of way secured by June
LIST. Two per cent. OF the assess
ment of the city would do the bus
mess, and that it would Immediately
and permanently advance our prop
erty ten per cent. we firmly believe.
SO strong is our faith that the TRIB-
UNE would cheerfully subscribe
$4,000 which is considerably more
than two per cent. of its assessed
value and we have assurance that
many others will do equally well or
better.
People of Mineral Point, think of
this matter. Discuss it. Push it.

THE preyersity with which per-
sonal news becomes twisted IS IN
stanced in the case of Nhitelaw
Reid. He is reported as having re-
signed the editorship of The Tribune
and AS about to enter the political
field, relinquishing journalism alto
gether. Col. John Hay thereupon
was appointed editor of The Tribune
for five years, and Col. Hays good
qualities were descanted in highly
satisfactory manner. Among other
things Mr.. Reid was to be minister
to q ermany. The truth OF the mat
ter is that Mr.. Reid is to be married,
and proposes to spend his honey
moon III Europe travelling few
months. Meanwhile Col. Hay takes
his place on The Tribune.

AN exchange paper says that Mr.,
Conkling is preparing "the greatest

by fiibustering against the rights OF

cause no one knows which eGd OF
the gun will go off.

TIE New Orleans Times, Deuo-
cratic paper of somewhat liberal
tendencies, says in its issue of Mon.
day last:
1t is true that some of the Southern Sena-
tors, in their speeches during the debate, de-
clarcd in favor CT a fair ballot and free count,
but it cannot be denied that there is q firmly
rooted conviction in the minds of very large
portion of the southern people that the Demo,
cratic party, which contains the wealth and
itelIigence of the South, ought to tuil whether
ii has a majority Of the votes or not, There
is deep-seated aversion TO allowing negroes
voice IN public affairs, or to allowing men
not natives, to acquire political prominence
through the aid of negro votes.

There is a story afloat to the effect
that Lord Beacopstield must be
barred beside his wife and another
lady, because he accepted too,oOo
from the latter's estate on that con-
dition. The connection between
any other prominent public man
and such a sale would be difficult
to believe; but Beaconsfeld was q
man Of mysterious ways, and the
story does not sonnd 50 strange as
it otherwise would At all events
he is to be buried in the manner
mentioned, and Westminster Abbey
is not to he honored with bis re-
mains. There are serious doubts
ia the minds If many whether he
really earned The right to be laid
there anyhow. Disraelis fame will
not stand the test Of time As well Is
that Of some others.

If the Western railroads do not
water their stocks as much as the
Eastern companies DO, they can at
least boast Of having more water on

they find convenient or profitable.

Yesterday at 2 o'clock P. NJ, a
wagon halted in front Of our house,
Esq 4. L. Moss. OF Bennettstown in
command. The heavens were propi.
tons to The occasion, giving to every
thing the appearance Of Christmas
morning. The beautiful snow" had
metainorphosed the Esq into real
Santa Claus. Busy hands were soon
at work to unload the wagon, where
upon it was found to contain corn,
flour, bacon, lard, fruits, honey, &c.
just such things as Minister needs.
We cannot express our gratitude in
words for these tokens Of regard. We
can only pray Heavens richest bless
ings upon the donors. For nearly
seven yesrs we have sustained the ten
dercst relations as pastor and people
and as their pastor we feel proud Of
such people. Long live this pre-
cious people! May they have the
blessings of the life that now is and
the joys Of that which is to come.

II becomes our duty TO chronicle
another suicide. JAS. II. Mcknight,
one OF the most prominent, aud we'll
to.do citizens of North Christian,
shot himselfthrough the body Friday
last. He was not driven TO the deed
by the customary cause, financial
troubles, as he was a wealthy man.
lie owned the mill in Scates' precinct,
known as Meningitis Mill aud was
well provided with all that most men
think secures happiness. lie lett no
explanation OF the deed and his friends
cannot even conjecture reasonable
cause for such step. Ills wife and
daughter died year or two ago and
for some time no was much affected
by the blow. II may be that this had
something 10 do with his death. lie
was about 40 years old, member OF
the Christian church and the leader
Of the Democratic party in his sec
ton. The facts are set forth moro at
length in "kaymond's' letter in an
other column.
