Our Harbor Appropriation

A Washington dispatch Of a late
date gives list of the appropriations
made by Congress for Harbor improve
ment within this State for the current
year. Although Superior Bay does
not, we think, receive as much assist
ance as her standing in point of COM
mercial Importance would seem to
demand, still we do not propose to find
fault, but rather go to work and expend
the $35, 600 given us in a judicious
manner, making it go as far as pos
sible, and trusting to the wisdom of
our Congressman to do what is right
by us when they come to fully under
stand the situation. From the table
given below it Will be seen that Su-
perior gets much the largest increase
over last years appropriations of any
point in the State, which indicates
that her position is somewhat under
stood and appreciated, and she will no
doubt receive further assistance as
funds for such purposes become avail
able. The following is the list of ap-

work before them Our street grade
should be established at once and the
streets brought to 1t !; our sidewalks
and crossings are generally in miser-
able condition and must be repaired

destitute of water, and this want must
be supplied and that at once a few
shade trees set out along the principal
streets and around the public square
would add to the looks of the town a
hundred times over, their cost, these

lutely necessary for the town to do in
the way of helping herself, that 9TH

by thus uniting all the forces march
on to success. So many are talked Of
for the various positions that it is use
less to name them now, but we hope
to be able to get at some central fig
ureheads for our next. One thing,
however, seems to be pretty well set
tied, and that is, that all things con-
sidered, it is best to have an entirely
new board of Supervisors, and if we
may Judge from what we hear on the
streets, it seems to be pretty well set
tied that Mr.. Jas. Bardon is to be the
next Chairman, and Mr.. |. W. Gates,
of Uppertown one of the Board, while
several good men are spoken of for the
other member. For these two posi-
tons we do not think it necessary to
look further, as we do not believe two
better men could be found for the pos
ition. Mr.. Ansley, another good wide
awade business men, is suggested for
Treasurer, very important position
and one he is especially fitted to fill.
So far as these three go, the matter
seems to be settled and we have not
as yet heard word against them.

-Guiteau sought fame by shooting
President Garfield There are other
Guiteau's in the country, who, less
brave than Charles the first, are try
ing to gain notority by stabbing the
corpse of the lamented Garfield with
pen. A man who will assault the dead
is hundred times more despisable than
the daylight assassin. If Garfield did
anything wrong it is not our part to say
he did not, but why did not his accus-
ors make known these wrongs while
the man lived that he might meet the
charges and stand or fall before them.
Let the good and the bad of the man
be buried with its dead, and the knave
who would assail the corpse be Danish
ed from the associations of all decent
people.

The Sin of Frettinr.

There is one sin which, seems to me.
is everywhere and by everybody under
estimated, and quite too much over
looked in valuations of character. 1t il
as common as air, as speech; so COM
mon, that unless it rises above its usual
monotone, we do not even observe it,
Watch any ordinary coming together OF
people, and see how many minutes il
will be before somebody frets-that is
makes a more or less complaining state
ment of something or other, which most
probably every one in the room, or on
the stage, or the car or the street cor
ner, AS it may be. knew before, and
which most probably nobody can help.
Why say anything about it? 1t is cold,
it is hot, it is wet, it is dry; somebody
has broken an appointment, in-cooked
a meal; stupidity or bad faith some
where has resulted in discomfort. There
are always plenty of things ofret about.
1t is simply astonishing how much an
noyance and discomfort may be found
in the course of every days living, even
at the simplest, if one only keeps a sharp
eve out on that side of things. Even
Holy Writ says we are born to trouble
as sparks fly upward. But even to
the sparks flying upward in the blacklist
of smoke there is a blue sky above, and
the less time they waste on the road, the
sooner they will reach it. Fretting is
all time wasted on the road. Helen

A Climbing Feat,

A successful ascent of the Dent du
Geant by an Alpine tourist, an Italian
named Sella, has just been made. So
many attempts to climb this colossal
had practically perpendicular obelisk
had failed that it was regarded as mac
cessible. The pick of the guides
French, and Italian-met with no better
success than simple tourists. Some years
ago an English nobleman attempted to
throw a cord weighted at one end over
the summit, but the wind was too much
for him, and the rope was blown back
into the hands of the person throwing
it. a fiutter of excitement ran through
the hotels of Chamounix and Courmay-
eur when it became known that a
young Italian had scaled the peak. The
means by which he WAS enabled to per-
form so remarkable feat proved to
have been simple enough. For several
weeks past two guides had been oc-
cupied in cutting steps in the most slip
perry and least accessible places, in fix
ing hooks and staples, and attaching
ropes to them. When these preparations
were completed the ascent proper took
place; but it was not accomplished with
out much difficulty and danger. No
sooner was the news known at Cha
mounix than an Englishman started to
make the ascent also. He succeeded.

yelled in chorus, and half dozen men
and women rushed to the rescue, but
the wagon flew with its momentum in
creasing every instant, until at last it
struck against the root of tree, bound
ed into the air, the spokes flying from
the wheels, and then turned twice over,

little shaver up he was Growing with de-
