RETIRING From BUSINESS.

What the COloncls business was no.
body knew, nor did anybody care par
ticulariy. He purchased for cash only,
and never grunlblcd at the price Of any
thing he wanted. Who could ask more
than that?
Curious people occasionally wondered
how, when it had been fully two years
since the Colonel. with every one else,
abandoned, Dutch Creek to the Chinese,
he managed to spend money freely and
to loss considerably at cards and horse
races. In fact, the keeper Of that one of
the Challenge Hill saloons which the
Colonel did not patronize was once heard
to wonder, absent-mindedly, whether
the Colonel hadn't n money mill some
where where he turned out eagles and
"slugs" Cthe coast name for $50 gold
pieces).
When so important parsonage rs
bar keeper indulged publicly in the idea,
the inhabitants of Challenge Hill, like
all good Californians everywhere, con-
sidered themselves in duty bound to
give it grave consideration SO, for n
few days, certain Industrious professional
gentlemen, who won money of the
Colonel, carefully weighed some of the
brightest pieces, and tested them with
acids, and sawed them in two, and re-
tired them, and melted them up, and
had the Jumps assayed.
The result was q complete vindication
of the Colonel and loss of considerable
custom TO the indiscreet bar-keeper
The Colonel was as good-natured
man as had ever been known ON Chal-
lenge Hill, but, being mortal, the
Colonel had his occasional tunes of
dependency, and one of them occurred
after series of races in which he had
staked his all on his bay mare Tipsie
and lost.
Looking rerroachfully OF his beloved
animal, he failed to heed the aching void
of his pockets, and drinking deeply,
swearing eloquently and glaring def
antly at all mankind were equally un-
productive of coin.
The boys at the saloon sympathized
most feelingly with the Colonel. They
were unceasing in their invitations to
drink, and they exhibited considerable
Christian forbearance when the Colonel
savagely dissented with every one who
advanced any proposition, no matter how
incontrovertible. But unappreciated
sympathy grows decidedly tiresome to
the giver, and it was with feeling of
relief that the boys saw the Colonel
stride out of the saloon, mount Tipsie
and gallop furiously away.
Riding on horseback has always been
considered an excellent sort of exercise,
and riding is universally admitted to be
one of the most healthful means OF ex-

THEE GOoD PHYSICIAN.
BY DR. OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

How best is be who knows strife
Than arts long battle with the foes of hfe!
No doubt assails him, doing still his best,
And trusting kindly nature for the rest;
No mocking conscience tears the thin disguise
That wraps his breast, and tells him That he lies.
He comes; the languid sufferer lifts his head
And smiles q welcome from his weary bed;
lie speaks: what music like the tones that tell
Past Is The hour Of dcnger-all IS wolll "
How can he fell the petty stings of grief
Whose cheering presence always brings rellef7
What ugly dreams can trouble bis repose
Who yields himself to sootbe another's woes7
Eour after hour the busy day has found
The good physician on his lonely round;
Mansion ana hovel, low and lofty door,
He knows, his journeys every path explore
Where the cold blast has struck with deadly chill
The sturdy dwefer on The storm swept hill,
Where by the stagnant marsh the sickening gale
Has benched the poisoned tenants of the vale,
Where crushed and manned the bleeding victim lies,
Where madness raves, where melancholy sighS,
And where the solemn whisper tells too plain
That ail his science, al his art were vain
How sweet his freside when the day is done,
And cares have vanished with the setting sCnl
Evening at lCst its hour Of respite brings,
And on his couch his weary length ne fings.
ScfL be thy pillow, scrYaut of mankind,
Luiled by an opGte art could never fnd
Sweet he thy sumbor-thou hast earned 1t we'll
Pleasant thy dresus! CGng goes the midnight bell
Darkness ana storm the home i'll far away
That waits his coming ere the break of day;
The snow-clad pinee their Wjntry pumage toss--
Doubtful the frozen stre,m his road must c-ess;
Deep lie the drifts. the slanred heaps have shut
The hardy woodDan in his mountain nut
Why should thy fter frame the tempest brave?
Hast thou life no heath, to lose or save?
Look read the answer in his patients eyes
HOr him no other voice when suffering cries;
Deaf to Che gale that oil around him blows,
feeble whisper calls hinl-and he goes.
Or seek the crowded city-summer's heat
Glarcs burning, binding, in tho narrow street,
Stil, noisoHe, deadly, e.cens the envepomed air,
Unsirred the yellow hag that says -" Beware"
Tempt not thy fate-cne little moments breath
Bears On its yewcss wings the seeds If death;
Thou at whoFe door The gilded chqriot5 stand,
Whose dea--bought skill uncasps the Diser's hand
Turn from thy tatal quest, nor cast away
That life 50 precious let a e1ner prey
Feed the destroyer's hunger; live to boss
Those HAPPIER homes that need thy care no less.
Smiling he listens; has he then u charm
Whose magic virtues peril can di~arIn?
No esf, guard this amulet he wears;
Too wet he knows that nature never spares
Her truest servant powerloss to defcld
From her own weapons her unshrinliug friend
He dares the fate The brayost well might shuu
Nor asks reward save only Heavens "Wel doneW
Such are the toile, the pcris Tint ha Knows,
Days without rest and nights without repose,
Yet ali UNDECIDED for the love no bears

Change of Firm.

The City Carriage Works which has
been owned and operated in this city
for the past nine years by Jensen &
Herr, has now passed into the hands OF
Mr.. H. P. Jensen, he having purchased
Mr.. Herr's interest. AS in the past, Mr.
Jensen will continue to have personal
supervision over all work turned out OIL
his establishment and the public can
rely upon receiving just treatment
honorable work and reasonable prices
He is new turning out some handsome
cutters and durable sleighs, and invite:
an inspection of his work by those who
are intending to purchase either.
In this connection Mr.. Jensen desires
to return thanks to those who have sc
literally patronized him in the past,
and asks Il continuance of their trade,
together with a call from all others who
may need anything in his line.

Elegant Pictures.

Mr.. T. II. Williams, when in Chicago,
last week, purchased the largest line of
OF! paintings ever brought to this city
by a home dealer, and they can o be
seen by calling at his store on Front
street.
In making his selections Mr.. Williams
anticipated the tastes and pecuniary
conditions of all.
In the large and elegant Landscape
paintings which border OF the sublime,
encased in rich gilt frames, may be
found productions that the most refined
and wealthy would feel proud in claim
ing as their own, and yet they are
marked at figures scarcely more than
80 per cent of what the same goods are
rctailed for in Chicago.
There is another grade nearly as fine
in artistic design and finish with less
elaborate frames which almost any one
can afford, and the brightness and cheer.
tulness which the y add to a home will
more than repay the cost in a single
week.
Panel pictures in genuine oil paint
ing of various sizes and fascinating
scenery a be secured ut wonderfully
low prices.
An array of comic pictures such as
have never been observed in this section
are p~rofusely scattered about the room,
the whole giving a grace and beauty to
the store, simply grand to behold.
1t is not necessary in this i~nstaLce to
particularize or expatiate at length up
on Williams art gallery, but our readers
should call and see for themselves, bear
ing in mind that there is no one thing
that goes so far to make home the ideal
abiding place as a profusion of cherry
pictures, and now Is the time TO make
your selections.
In addition to the pictures purchased
Mr.. w. has added largely to his artists
supplies for decorating such as panels,
placques, tamborines, e~asels, &c, and
those having occasion to use anything
of the kind will do well to inspect his
stock.

Good Suggestions.

Editor Free Press:
In "a former letter I asked your read
ers to think of the multitude of favoring
circumstances in the present situation
of Mankato. In a recent issue YOU
published a letter from the american
Manufacturer, the leading manufacture
ing newspaper of the country, which
shows the advantages of Manksto rs
a manufacturing and jobbing center to
be unsurpassed. The practical eye of
its correspondent sees many favoring
circumstance in our situation which
should inspire our citizens with new
zeal and energy and II determination
to make our city what it is we'll capa.
BILE of becoming.
| need not rccapitulate what is men
toned in that letter, for it has been
widely published and read. 1t contains
sufficient encouragement without going
into further details, yet there are other
favorable signs which We cannot fail to
observe. For example: newspaper cor
respondents do not visit dead, unpromis.
ing towns to write them up, US has been
the case with Mankato for the last SIX
months, can the Northwestern Dairy
mems Association be induced to hold
its great convention anywhere except
in a great dairying and stock growing
region. But let me say right here that
these advantages have been either sc.
cured or made known to the world, by
means Of the Board of Trade, and yet II
Mankato merchant said to me last week
that he wanted nothing more to do with
the Board of Trade; that it was doing
him no good; that with his three dollars
fee he could have bought his boy a pair
of boots. Such a spirit and such men of
course, would never build a town.
But I am thankful there are
very few men in Mankato who
grudgc the little three dollars, for
they see a l told HIM that a united,
liberal effort to advertise and develop
Out tCoouiSCo IL h'tNduldR-
es will, inside of two years, add thou
sands to our population. Let the
Board of Trade be heartily seconded by
all u people and there will be little
grumbling about dull times.
Just now the thing to do is to tell
every farmer W. see in this and adjoin-
ing counties of the great Dairymen's
Convention to be held in Mankato
February, lSth-16th, 1883, and urge
attendance. Nothing else can he of so
great benefit to the dairying and stock
raising interests of Southwestern Min
nesota, as this convention, and whatever
benefits the country, benefits the city.
Any man a become q member of this
Dairymen's Association, upon payment
of a fee of 81, and be entitled to all its
and privileges including its pub
lished proceedings, and until further ar
rangements are made, Mr.. J. G. Noe,
and myself will take subscriptions.

Sec. Board of Trade. !

Republican, Caledonia Argus, and other
villifying sheets of a lesser magnitude
are being circulated g~ratuitously

picable means of ~endeavoring to create

will have very little weight with men
of intelligence and those acquainted
with his public record, and only
proves tOsuch men the desperation of
