Natural Curiosity.

One Of the most singular vegetable

section OF the country can be witnessed
groWiDgt at Sbarp's Ridge, Mayberry
twp. this county. where the public road
passes over the Ridge from Big Roaring
Creek. II is two pine trees, each about
sixteen TO eighteen iaches in diameter,
standing several feet distant from each
other, but connected by a branch about
fifteen ieet from the ground. This
branch is as thick NJ an ordinary mans
body and at either end, where IL con.
meets with the trees. has a bulging
growth, around, making IL impossible
90 tell from which tree the branch
originally sprung. Many surmises have
been made how the trees became 40
compactly united, pair OF regular
vegetable Siamese twins, but no person
in the neigh bborhood can remember far
back enough TO throw light on the sub.
iect. Those Of our citizens who have
the leisure. should take a ride 10 the
locality and examine this natural curl
osity. a. il will repay them for the jaunt.

neither of whom saw Blongren on the
track.
An especially sad incident in connection
with the accident, is found in the fact that
a younger brother of Blongren's arrived in
the city from St. Peter Monday evening
but was unable to find his brother thai
night, and reached the bridge where he was
employed yesterday morning just in tive
to see his mangled remains removed from
tina track by some of his fellow workmen

decided that no inquest was necessary, and
the remains of the deceased, in charge OF
his brother, will be removed to-day to St

MooRHEAD, Mimi, Oct. 1.-THE regular
Republican district convention for the
Forty-fourth senatorial district was held
in this city to-day. The district, compris-
ing Clay, Wilkin and Becker counties, was
fully represented. George II. Johnston
was made permanent chairman and A. 81.
Nolan secretary. Mr.. Johnston was nomi-
mated for state senator, and in graceful
ly worded speech declined the nomination.
Mr.. W. J. Badkin, of Moorhead, was then
nominated by reclamation. Mr.. Childs,
of Wilkin, was then nominated for the
Legislature by reclamation. Both the gen
tlemen were then sent for and made a
straightforward statement of the situa-
ton, and promised to do all in their power
to defeat the Comstock- Nelson boiling
gang in November. In the evening an
immense ratification meeting was held, at
which Col. Geo. FL. Johnston presided, and
the utmost enthusiasm prevailed.

POLITICAL PRIEST.

Parson Newman, the apostate Methodist,
Gen. Grants former chaplain, and present
Presbyterian pastor, seems to be in an
excess of excitement over the present
political situation in New York. He, like
Guiteau, is "stalwart of the stalwarts.'
He is a stalwart pulpit occupant
of the most pronounced machine" faith.
On late Sabbath he made
a stump speech in his pulpit, calling it
Responsibility of Cltizens-let New
York be delivered" He poured forth tor
rent of bitter invective upon the Democ-
racy who s'rule the city, charac-
terizing them as sthese uncouth crea-
lures; these men who need to be washed
who can scarcely sign their names to the
pay roll, who make their mark: these men
vino have still the brogue upon their lips
and the brogans on their feet,
still waving the shillelah, forced by cir
cumstances to be the rulers over the
beautiful city of New York. y
and exhorts the citizens
ito be unified" to defeat s'these uncouth
creatures" who "need to be washed" who
still have ';the brogue upon their lips
and the brogans on their feet" and who
are still waving the shillelah." Thus he
heaps contempt on naturalized citizens
and develops the vulgar and illiberal spirit
that reigns within him. s'Upon what meat
has this our Caesar fed that he has grown
so great? Thus the bold priest, forget.
ting the benign and charitable precepts OF
the master, plunges into the dirty poo
of politics, lays aside the gospel OF
Jesus, for the gospel of Conkling's stall
wartism, and fills his mouth, if not
with cursing, with vulgar, ribald, gutter
slang. 1t may we'll be questioned whethe,
his usefulness as pastor will be largely
increased by his activity as stalwart, ser.
vile, sycophantic, slang whanging politi-
clan. By such instrumentalities will 'sNew

applause as he ventilated the numerous
falsehoods of laundering Gordon's novel,
signed by G. A. Gilman, which is being
circulated here as a campaign document
by the Nelsonites. Col. Johnston is very

he most thoroughly desproved the claims

were the only regular Republicans, having
