Now will tell you what there is to
be seen up here.
| Whilst on the way, between mere and
st. Louis, some time last April, the
boat stopped to transfer freight at the
town of Dubuque, Iowa; and as the ac-
Communications were not any too good,
gentleman friend proposed we should
go ashore and get some refreshments
in the way of something to eat. In SO
doing my attention was attracted heav-
onward, when one of the grandst sights
l probably ever will behold met my
eye. Near the zenith was what looked
like a snow-whIte cloud in the shape of
an umbrella that was the worse for the
wear. It came to q focus in the center
and shot out from all sides with a
quivering motion that resembled the
tongues of a hundred serpents, while in
the northern horizon it looked like
gauze veil famed gently to and fro by
a light breeze. / have learned since
that Geographic communication be-
tween st. Paul and other points was
entirely stopped on account of the air
being filled with electricity to such an
extent that it affected the batteries.
Upon inquiry, I was Informed that the
wonderful sight was an ordinary auro-
ra borealis, or northern lights"
Having chance the other day to
visit the city of Duluth, which is locat-
ed on the shore of Lake Superior, /
promptly took advantage of it, packed
my traps and went to gaze for the first
time upon our great lake. The lake in
itself did not catch my wonder-seeking
eye, but the mountains along the line
of the st. p. & D. railway and the st.
Louis river did. It was about sunrise
at the time we crossed the river, and
had been told to keep my eyes open;
but was not prepared for such sight
of splendor as lay before them. The
river comes down from the mountains
in a torrent, forming cascade after cas-
cade, which, in the early morning sun
light, made it look like river filled
with the brightest of gems. You could |
hear EXPLANATIONS from all parts of the |
car, such as "Isn't that grandj" and |
from the ladies in particular, who
thought it was simply beautiful"
At the points where saw it. it would |
be dangerous to venture upon it with |
sklff, while it Is said to be navigahle |
for large steamers nearer its source. |
The line of railroad follows it for sever
al miles, and runs on the tops of the |
some places hundreds ]
of feet above the riyer-afording q
splendid view of it and the adjacent
country. I think it would pay any
one to make the trip. There is splen-
did fishing here, also, for trout, etc.
Yours, truly s. d. B.

A Visit to Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, May q, 1882.
Ei. Register-This may be presump-
ton on my part, and these few lines
my "maiden effort"-be consigned to
the waste basket; but will write this,
as I do everything else, trusting in
''luck," and hoping it will find space
In your worthy paper. And, again,
presume all these preliminaries are en-
tirely unnecessary. 1.-The fact of the
business is" am now a temporary
resident of the town of st. Paul; and
having been a resident of your part of
the country about twenty-one years, I
thought it:would not be out of the way
to drop you few lines relative to the
part Of country in which I now find
myself. It is not an UNEMPLOYED re-
gion, and in all probability there is
nothing new to write about; but as the
great tide of immigration flows this
way, it gives to the whole an aspect of
freshness and stir that cannot be found
south of the lake towns or east of the
Rockies.
st. Paul, proper, is situated upon u
rock. and judge from the lightness of
the atmosphere, is considerably higher
above the sea than your own city.
The climate here i'm the summer time

Of catarrh. / can fully recommend it,
as have been afflicted with catarrh
for over q year. up to the present time.
It has almost gone away, and am sure
it will entirely disappear befor The sea-
son is over. Catarrh is almost as de-
structive as consumption, and is closely
allied to it. In some constitutions the
transition from one to the other is only
a question of time. and unless proper
care sis taken will surely lead to it.
Therefore. I think q trip to the lakes
would be not only enjoyable, but bene-
fetal to great many of the citizens Of
Southeast Missouri whom / know to be |
suffering from the above disease. |

seem to be attracting the attention the
case deserves. The deficit of about

Guiteau and His Divorced Wife

Mrs. Dunmo1e, Guiteau's divorced
wife, in company with her husband
and little daughter, visited Guiteau in
his cell, Saturday. The assassin was
visibly affected by the visit, and treat
ed them more decently than he has any
of his late visitors. He was particular
ly affected by their saying to him they
came to bid him goodbye, thinking it
doubtful, as they lived so far away,
whether they would ever see him again.
The assassin seemed to put very diff
ferent construction upon the reason for
their meeting hereafter, and was scarce
ly able to control his feelings, and as he
turned away from them his eyes
twitched nervously, and it was with
great difficulty he spoke at all. With
some effort, however, he managed to
say; Hannah, 1 can wish 10 harm,
and l hope your life will be prosperous
and happy"

how much they are worth, and what
the government will pay for them.

Taken as q whole, the life Of the poor

by the merchant, sunk IN squalor, filth,

his very lack of aspiration-preserves
his good temper; he becomes mar
velous seaman, and ne can dress fish

his island, bounded by olrcle of co

resolves itself into an Eden whose seas

Marriage Insurance.

A picturesque view of the marriage
insurance" system is given by writer
in Southern paper. He was asked
whether he thought the wedding OF
certain young lady would take place at
the time said to have been set. He
gave his opinion and asked the reason
for the inquiry. "Oh, was the re-
sponse, 81 have bought fonr matrimo-
NAL policies of 50, 900 each on her, and
I'm anxious to know whether I'll get
my money" "Does she know of this?"
ooh, no. That isn't necessary. Any
body can take out policy on anybody
else. If you know of lady that Is en-
gagged and will not marry within five
months from the time you take policy
on her, you can get any amount on her
wedding that you want. | suppose
there is $25, 900, or perhaps double that
on the young lady l asked you about. "
How does the company make its
| money q 81 suppose it bets on the
fckleness of the young folks. No policy
will be paid except five months after it
is taken out. There are very few
couples, they think, who love each other
well enough to marry that will wait nve
months to marry. Ii they do, hVe
months of engaged life is full of
dangers"

baby-carriage factory had its origin in
the birth of fifteen babies in the town
in thirteen days. A carpenter got the
job of making carriages for the whole
number, and from that start the bust
