metropolitan Lying.

Already the metropolitan papers are
telling the wheat gamblers in Europe
and in our larger marts, how many mil.
lion bushels Of grain this aid tina,
State will produce this season. They
base their calculations wholly upon the
vividness of their imsginstions, and
this year before the grain was sown.
Eli Perkins, who enjoys the sobriqust Of
Lying Eli" writes a lengthy communi.
cation to the Chicago Tribune from the
dingy parlor Of his abode in New York
city, telling all about what the harvest
will he for 1881.
Eli is a strange mortal, and as full Of
sensational Ideas rs corn field is Of
gophers. He doesn't mean any wrong, of
course, but being under contract with
our large metropolitan dailies, must
contrivc somehow to "raise hell in
order to sell papers and draw his salary.
He innoccntly tells of his extensive
travels among the farmers Of Illinois
and Minnesota this spring, makingper-
sonal observation of the extensive acre
age sown, but while he writes this in
his usual jocose vein, he forgets that at
the time Of his (supposed) visit the en-
tire country which he predicts will raise
SO many bushels of wheat was under
two feet OF snow and not an acre sown.
This makes no difference though, to Eli.
He must write something, so he takes
last years report and uses that as cri.
terion to 80 by for estimating this year
crop and sends it to his paper as an au-
thentic item. To obviate the circula-
ton of such unmitigatcd falsehoods
will neccssitate the government into
making an Indian agent Of Eli and set
him off on a plantation in Dakota.

She Wanted a First-Class Coach.

As all are aware, the passenger
coaches on the Southern Minnesota and
Wells branch, were badly scratched
and marred pounding against the snow
drifts the past winter, and in conse-
quence have been sent to the shop for
repairs. This has greatly inconveni-
enced travellers and in some instances
quite garrulous old persons have ut
tered complaints. Conductor Keller
had such case the other day in the
person of an old lady who was forced to
ride in car used for passengers, freight,
express, baggage and smoking, with
only door between the first and last.
And when conductor Keller came
through the car she inquired if he did
not have any first-class coach on his
train. Jack replied that the compart-
ment she was located in was frst-class,
when she wanted to be shown the
second class. Jack kindly opened the
door and exhibited to her astonished
gaze Uncle Joe distributing mall, Shell
don asserting express, the train boys
mixing car grease and half dozen
men sitting astride butter firkins, egg
cases and trunks, smoking. She raised
her hands alott and remarked, La, 'ow

Suggestions to Immigrants.

Every day witnesses the passage
through town of the covered emigrant
wagon, with enthusiastic pioneers,
droves of cattle and other stock, wend-
ing their way to the prairies of the
West. None stop to consider that they
are passing through country which
offers infinitely greater inducements to
them than they will find for years to
come farther west. In this county are
offered opportunities for securing homes
within the limit of nearly all, and
where markets, schools, churches and
other well established evidences of civ
ilization that cannot be acquired in q
new country in the lapse of years, and
which will require arduous and long
continued toll. Some advance the ar
gument that many of these immigrant.

Bridge at Madison Lake.

We understand that the committee
on replacing the bridge across the out.
let of Lake Madison, in the town Of LIE
Ray, have reported favorably on the
same. This bridge is one of the most
important ones in the county and should
be an iron structure, because experience
has demonstrated that they are the
cheapest in the end. The erection of q
substantial bridge at this point will
enable a large number of farmers tn
make Mankato their market, who now
are obliged to patronize the GAINESVILLE
market, owing to the defective struc.
ture that has so long separated them
from their home market.

GLASS Making mo. 81

In continuation of the above article
our correspondent has led the mine
along u few steps at a time SO that the,
can he thoroughly understood and com
pretended. In this article the writer
displays his Yankee proclivities by
asking n question and then answering
the same. He says:
The question is often asked, what is
glass made of and how is it made I
Glass is msdc of sand principally, but
other articles are added to melt the
sand, such as an alkali, lime and salt.
Manufacturers have used ~ an alkali,
potash, pearl ash, kelp, black salts, ETC.,
but of late years they use soda manu-
featured expressly for that purpose. All
other ingredients are put in to create
what is called "flux," which is u
liquid to cause the sand to melt. When
the glass is melted aud purified the fux
is burned oil, leaving nothing but melted
sand. Glass is blown by the mouth,
and some inquire how it can be blown
by the mouth and made fat. If were
to describe the manner of blowing glass
the public would only have vague
idea, 50 will only say that glass Is first
made into cylinders similar to a stove
pipe; the cylinders are cracked open by
passing = hot iron along them; then
they are passed to the flattening oven,
where they 80 through another heating |
process and then flattened out into
sheets; then they pass through an arch,
gradually coming to the cool air. AS
soon rs the sheets are cold they are con-
reyed to the cutting room, then cut into
my size desired. l will in my next,
give description how glass is blown,
md the tools used, then if one does not
orm correct idea, they will have to
wait until We get to blowing glass and
,ome and sec for themselves.
