A pathetic case of conscience has been
brought to light up the Hudson. An escaped
convict had been earning an honest living for
two years and was on the eve Of marriage He
had proved that it is never too late to mend.
What seems to have been high sense of honor
forced him to take the young lady's parents
into his confidence. He told them that he was
a reformed Jail breaker, but assured them that
he was innocent of the offence for which he had
been sent to Sing Sing. The old people shared
the common prejudice against runaway con-
victs. They informed the detectives, and the
alleged pickpocket is now in his old cell serving
out the remainder of his term The case is IA
very interesting one and should be investi-
gated by the Prison Association. Executive
clemency would not be misplaced if the facts
are correctly stated.

The British forces, having secured possess
sion of the Canal from sea to sea, are now push
ing out their outpOsts westward. The belt
through which the Sweetwater Canal passes
is the desert reclaimed by irrigation and is in
tersected by several ridges of low hills, which
are the OUTLYING spurs of the mountains be-
tween Cairo and Suez. Tel-el-heblr, where "a
detachment of Arabs force has attempted to
make a stand, lies on the crest OF one OF these
ridges about twenty-five miles beyond Ism ailia
Further west there is wooded region, and
Zagazig, a town Of 10000 inhabitants marks
the centre of the cotton region. The greater
part of the tract from lSmalla to the Nile Is
an arid waste, the fertile bed lying near the
river with its system of Irrigating canals. 1t Is
the Scriptural Land of Goshen, aud the fresh
water canal leading to the sthmuS is one OF the
works of the Pharaohs reconstructed by NJ. de
Lesseps. This section presents few obstacles
to the advance Of an army, and 1t IS not prop
able that any position which may be occupied
by the native troops will offer serious resist
apce to the solid columns CT General Noiscley.
If Arab is bent upon fighting like European,
the artillery of the invading army will speedily
hammer his forces TO pieces. 1t is the semi
barbarous mode Of fighting with which modern
armies find it difficult to cope. Ia Northern
Africa the French have never made quick WORK
of their campaigns because the tribes have
broken up into small bands and shifted Their
ground 50 rapidly as to render successful pur-
suit impracticable. 1t is the mobility of semi
barbaIous horde of winged horsemen which
harnesses regularly organized army. In mass
ing his men behind entertainments Arab will
fight, not like All arab, but like Turk, and
the campaign will be speedily concluded.

The Michigan Democrats have tlken posi-
ton which we should be much pleased to have
the National DepOcracy adopt They have
formed an alliance with the Greenbackers, by
giving them the head of the State ticket and
other important officers, ami have adopted a
platform declaring for free trade aud civil ser
vice reform The fusion on the State ticket
was only accomplished after hard days work
in the convention, and it is almost pity that
all its labor is foreOrdained to be wasted.
Even "a drag net cannot collect votes enough in
Michigan to defeat Republican ticket. Still,
free trade and Greenbackism make a striking
combination, and if the Democrats of the
country become enamored OF it the Michigan
brethren will not have builded in vain.

The outbreak of yellow fever in Texas Is
becoming more alarming There are from
fifty to sixty new cases every day. and the
tvpe of the disease is growing more mallg-
nant. The local authorities and customs
officials are showing no signs of demOralza-
ton. but are laborins zcalously and effectively
to prevent the spread of the epidemic to adJa-
ent towns. When this terrible scOurge ravaged
the lower Mississippi valley III 1878, the Ma
tional Quarantine Act had only been in operation
few months. marked Improvement III

The ravages of the disease began much ear
lier in the former year. The germs were I'M
ported from St Thomas before the first OF

ease was epidemic in NewOrleans. by md
Aucust it had extended to Memphis, Nicks-

the first week of November, after
there had been 100000 cases with a
mortality of 10000, the sanitary authorities
at ew-Orleans proclaimed the danger OF III
lection at an end and advised refugees to re-
turn. With the disease confined at present to
single town and military post, and the
season so well advanced, there are no serious
grounds for apprehension. The precautions,

CP to this time the weather has
been most propitious for the growing
of small grain. and our farmers are
hopeful for an abundant and old
fashioned harvest. The season for
planting corn is quite backward, but
there is yet time to do the work and
receive good returns. Our farmers
have been unusually taxed with work
this spring from the fact so little
blowing was done last fall, but
with ten days fine weather every
thing will be placed out of the way,
and left to natures care. The acre.
age of corn i'm Blue Earth county will
be double this year of what 1t has
ever before been, and as our farmers
have in the past ever been blessed
with an abundant yield, there need
be no apprehension at this time but
what the coming fall will see fully
an average crop of corn. In 1881
there were more acres of ground de-
voted to flax than any previous year,
and yet only 1851 acres were utilized
for this particular purpose. Why do
our farmers not give more attention
to this plant! There is always a
ready market fer it in Mankato,
where the highest prices are paid by
the Linseed Oil Mill company, and it
is one of the most sure and remuner.
alive crops that can be grown. Far
mers, sow few acres of flax this
spring. There is yet plenty of time
to do so.

THERE are people doing business
in every town and city who labor
under the delusion that to invest
money in advertising in their home
papers is SO much cash thrown away.
Happily for the town and its pros
perity, this class of so.called business
men are small, and where the least of
these are found there the most thrift
and public spirit is manifest. The
Sank Center Tribune gives an instance
where few days since man called
into that office and wished to see the
st. Cloud papers. He was accommO.
dated. He was hunting for the adj.
dress of firm which does business in
that city, but could find no card in
the paper. 1t was his desire to have
sent an order to them, but he was
forced to order from st. Paul using
an advertisement in the Pioneer Press
as IA guide. This shows whether it
pays to advertise or not. The mans
business with the firm he ordered
from will amount to several thousand
dollars.

A VERY WEAK ATTACK.

The enemies of Hon. J. b. Wake
field, while very few in number, are
making up the deficiency in numer.
ical strength as much rs possible by
resorting to most questionable
mode in an endeavOr to make it ap.
pear to the unwary that he is in the
hands of either Mr.. Window or Mr..
Dunnell. The st. Paul GiObe, an
ultra Democratic sheet, whose main
ambition is to create dissension in
the Republican ranks and SOW seeds
of discord that the Democracy may
thereby gain vantage ground, has
taken up the cudgel against Mr..
Wakefield and in the very weakness
of It's cause shows the inconsistency
of its position. Mr.. Wakefeld's can
didacy has no bearing whatever upon
the supposed contest that will be
made between Window and DunnelI
for the United States Senate. The
friends Of both Of these gentlemen
come heartily forward to the support
of Mr.. Wakefield, knowing him to be
an honorable, upright man, and Ell
tirely above the trickery manoever
ings Of the ordinary politician. His
fight will be made by his friends, and
his friends are alike tho friends OF
Messrs. Window and Dunnell, who
come together Oh common grounds
and will labor zealously for Il common
end, viz: the nomination and elec.
ton of Hon. j. Ii. Wakefield for con
gress. That "Dunnell brigade OF

cinary troops" are marshalling to
gain control of the District Convention

This certainly would he only a Just

not of sufficient absurdity to exact
her attention. The latest effusion is
a proclamation to the scientific and
patriotic, asking them in the name of
civilization and enlightment to cir.
culate a petition and send her the
same by the middle of June. Said
petition should be addressed, "To the

found large quantities of land valued
at $40 per acre entered by Speculation

of improving it in conformity with

TIE Chicago Inter Ocean strikes the
key note, and sounds the genuine
sentiment of intelligence, when it
says that young men should be en-,
couraged to take to the farms instead
of crowding into cities and towns.
The MILL ns of rich acres in the
West want hands, and when the mil
lioCs of hands want acres, good
meets good. The Nation must and
ever will have to depend upon the
rural population for its real wealth,
and to great extent, for its sterling
quality of mind and soil which will
perpetuate its free institutions. The
hurried, fcverish life of money-mak.
ing and speculation in cities give nc
time for thoughtfulness and home
culture and if it were not for the
constant influx of fresh blood and
simplicity which is begotten in
thoughtful country life, cities would
rapidly deteriorate. We need cities
but we need the country more. And
it is il good omen when young mei
and women turn their eyes from the
store.hOuses, banks, and marts OF
trade to the green fields, and resolve
to build themselves homes. 1t is il
the experience of multitudes that it is
with all its toll, the happiest and most
conducive of robust, manly thought
of all others. The new inducement
that the future promises a large re
ward for labor, adds new and addi
tional argument, which we trust vii
be accepted by great multitude Of
young people who are asking, "Wha
shall do for 4 livelihood"
