Suspicious Symptoms.

A minister who was perhaps not too
careful in his habits, was induced by
his friends to sign the teetotal pledge.
His health appeared to suffer,
and his doctor ordered him to take one
glass of punch daily.
'Ohw said he, II dare not. Peggy,
my old housekeeper, would tell the
whole parish.
"When do you shave?n the doctor
asked.
I'm the morning"
"Then" said the doctor, "shave at
night /; and when Peggy brings up
your hot water, you can take your
glass of punch just before going to
bed"
The minister afterward appeared to
improve in health and spirits. The
doctor met Peggy soon after and said:
'l'm glad to hear, Peggy, that your
master is better"
Indeed, sir. he's better, but his
brains affected there's something
whong WI his mind"
Glow ?n
"Why, doctor, he used to shave at
night before going to bed, but now he
shaves in the morn, he shaves before
dinner, he shaves after dinner, he
shaves at night-he's aye Shawn"
The symptoms were, indeed, very
suspicious.-Editor's Drawer, in Harp
er's Magazine.

SUPERIOR!
Her Location and Surround
ings.
Natural HARBOR Advantages.
Mineral Wealth, Unsurpassed Lum-
bering Facilities and Agricul-
tural Resources.

Since our connection with the TIMES we
haye daily received letters of inquiry re-
garding Superior and her resources and
prospects. We desire to answer all in1uir-
ers, but to do so separately by letter would
require all of our time or demand the en-
ploymeH of a special correspondent, and
then it would be incompletely done. To
meet the desires of all, therefore, we have
compiled, from such statistics as are avail
able, brief sketch or history of the city
and its surroundings. The reader is no
doubt aware that the idea of building Il city
here is not new one, but that from various
causes its development has been retarded
The obstacles which have heretofore oper-
ated against the town have finally been re-
moved, however, and It's day of prosperity
is now at hand. Heretofore we have never
had an inland outlet; now we have the
Northern Pacific railroad stretching away
to the plains of the west, and in few
months will have the Chicago, ST. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha road giving US direct
communication with Chicago to the east
and all the great and fertile region lying to
the South and Southwest in an unbroken
chain through Southern Dakota, Nebraska
&c. AS an evidence of present prosperity
it is only necessary to say that Within the
past six months 100000 have been ex.
pended here in new buildings and local i'm
provements not including the railroad build
ing. The \. 2. Company is building a
large and very substantial dock and the
city is repairing and charging two Others
The large hotel known as the Superior
House, containing about one hundred
rooms, has been refitted and furnished and
opened to the public new $4,000 hotel
to be built by the n. p. Company will be
erected during the season and also at least
one million bushel elevator. coal docks, &c.
The only National bank at the head of the
lake is here, and new business and dwelling
houses are springing up daily as if by
magic. Superior is the county seat of
Douglas County, and we have an excellent
Court House, three good school houses and
three schools in operation, three good
church buildings and another to be built
this season, all of which is given as the best
of evidence that Superior is soon to occu
py that position in the great commercial
circles nature has intended she should
occupy.
Much of the matter given below has of
course been given to the public before in
one form or another, but being interesting
to those who would know all about us"
and thoroughly reliable, we compile it III
its present form to the better and more ex-
plicitly answer the many questions pro-
pounded to us.
