road have the mind to make it; wheth-
er it takes new growth and new life
or repeat its history, remains with the
very near future. A large and i'm
portant city must be built at the head
of the lake, and we hope it may flour
ish upon Wisconsin soil, but until the
new life strikes the town from Connors
Point, on the St, Louis river opposite
Duluth, to the railroad depot, Ca
stretch of at least five miles,, the price
of real estate and rents should come
down shaving or SO in order to har-
monize with the business and surround
ings of the place.
AT nine O'Clock the steam ferry from
Duluth came plowing through the ice,
at least an inch thick, and landed at
the dock, when our party took passage
for the Zenith City of the unsalted
seas. Since our former visit, it has
shown healthy growth, and from the
push and stir one sees on every side,
We are forced to give it prosperous
future. Building operations are being
carried on as if the season for such
business was not at an end for this
year. After royal dinner at the
Hotel St. Louis we returned to Supe-
rior. We prevailed upon Capt. Sulli-
van of the steam ferry, to take US back
through the lake, and after fine ride
of about ten miles we made the Supe-
rior entrance to the harbor, and re-
turned to our hotel, after which we
called upon Brother Christie, the over
worked man of the TINES. We also
dropped in upon Miss Minnie John
son, formerly of this place, who is do
ing profitable millinery business up
there. We also visited the store of
Messrs. Ansley & Sunderland, brace
of St. Croix county boys, and we are
glad to know that they are driving a
good trade.
In returning We took a good survey
Iof the country, which is rather low
and level for some distance from the
lake, but soon changes to an undulat-
ing surface covered with a fair growth
of mixed timber which extends south
ward to the pine barrens.
In behalf Of the boys We cfFcr to the
management of the Omaha line vote
of thanks, and we can assure the pub
lie that the road has been personally
inspected and accepted by our little
party and pronounced good, and it is
the intention of one and all to return
to the lake next year.

From the Ashland P.'ass.

From the Ashland P.ess
A week ago last Monday afternoon
q scene was being enacted in the heart
of the great fJrest that stretches away
eastward from Ashland, that rivals
the most exciting adventures recorded
of Davy Crockett or Daniel Boone. 1t
was hand to hand encounter between
brave hunter, and wounded black
bear, in which the man came near be-
ing the victim to the brute, and but
for his strength and endurance, we
should have had tragedy to relate
instead of hair-breadth escape, and
the final capture of bruin. We give
the story as we learn it from the Rev.
Ira Baird, of Odanah, who called at
our office Wednesday just to give US
the item for the Press.
Recently crew of men have been
at work cutting out sleigh road be-
tween Odanah and the Montreal and
Black River Iron Mines, and among
them was Moses White, a Chippewa
half-breed, of Odanah. On the day
stated, Moses having finished his lob,
started for home, and when about
twelve miles from his destination he
came upon fresh bear track. The
instinct of the hunter, born in him,
was irresistible, and having double
barreled shot gun with him, he follow
ed the trail. He tracked the bear for
seme distance, and when about to give
up the chase, came suddenly upon him
at the mouth of his den. AS the bear,
which was an old and powerful one,
stood his ground, Moses walked up to
within few feet of him and emptied
both barrels of his gun into his head.
As the gun was only loaded with duck
shot, it failed to kill, and the made a
rush for his assailant, who In turn, fled
In the direction of his pack, which he
had dropped some distance back on
the trail, for the purpose of getting
his axe with which to defend himself.
Just as he reached the pack and while
in the act of unstrapping the axe tho
bear came upon him, tearing his scalp
and shoulder at the first clinch, in a
frightful manner. Moses finding him
self i'll bruins clutches with nothing
to defend himself with, fought with bis
hands and managed to get to the
ground where it was a rough and tum-
bic struggle for several minutes. He
finally managed to free himself, when
the bear, blinded with blood and shot.
got hold of the pack and commenced
to tear it to atoms, thinking it his VIC
tim. This gave Moses a chance to
crawl away, and finally to escape.
After getting out of danger he stopped
and bound up his wounds with strips
of his clothing, and after a hard pull,
reached home badly used up. He told
the story of his desperate battle on his
arrival, and early Tuesday morning a
party of ten started out to kill the
brute. They found him laying by the
demoralized pack, with broken jaw
and his eyes destroyed by the shot. He
was quickly dispatched and brought
into Odanah, when there was great re-
joicing among the natives.

BY Rail to superior.

Saint Crox Republican.
Last week we received compliment
airy transportation for twenty from
Assistant President Winter of the
Omaha Line, in accordance with rath-
an accidental promise several months
ago, from this place to Superior and
return. In extending the invitations,
with few exceptions, we invited those
who had given to the Company the
right of way across their farms, and
those who assisted during the day and
night in shoveling snow on the men,
orable New Years Day when the track
reached a point near the present res
idence of Mrs. Bell, and those, also,
who had been longest in this locality.
The road did not reach the point spec
flied in the contract upon which the
towns of Stanton, Star Prairie and
Richmond had voted twenty-five
thouand dollars to the Company, but
they had done 80 we'll in 80 brief a
time and SO late in the year, that the
Town Fathers accepted the job and is
sued the bonds. That was the liveli-
est and happiest New Years New Rich
mond ever experienced. It was
royal sight to see the track and en-
gines hourly gain on this town. But
we started to Superior while ago with
jolly crowd and in few minutes We
were down ON section ten with the
shovel brigade again.
Our party started northward on the
regular train, ON Thursday afternoon,
twenty-three strong, twenty in the
party proper, and DIR. 0. n. Murdoch,
division surgeon, Judge Hough and
the subscriber, who travelled ON an
nuals. Quite few of the boys had
never been farther up the line than
Clayton, and to most of them the
scenes after two hours ride were both
new and pleasing, and we heard it re-
marked frequently that they would
rather take their chances ON farm
up there than on the western plains,
and we second the motion. They
were also surprised at the number of
villages and mills they saw, for they
expected to pass through a bowling
wilderness. The curtains of night
closed the scene soon after We passed
Cumberland, and the supper question
was the chief theme of discussion. AT
Chandler we were substantially re-
freshed at our friend Scribner's hotel,
and after the train for Superior had
been made up, we proceeded over the
new track to the lake, arriving at our
destination at 11:4O at night, some
thing over three hours late owing to
a late start and annoyances in taking
water through syDhon.
After breakfast on Friday morning
we took look at the ancient city of
Superior, and were in no way surprised
after listening to many of Frank Bart
let's decidedly lifelike sketches of
Lake Superior towns. The old town
shows the want of paint for the past
score of years, and nearly every house
of ancient construction is sadly out at
elbows and knees and needs half soling
with new structures of modern archi-
lecture. What the frost in the clay
soil has not done to wrench the build
ings out of shape the storms have COM
pleted, and to people who have eyes
for things square and plumb, the
sight is painfully lonesome. So much
for old Superior. What the new Su-
perior will be, is entirely what the
people and the Northern Pacific rail

MIR. Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
lately delivered an address before an
institute in that city, which has at
tracted great deal of attention. One
point to which attention was called in
the outset was the smallness of the
amount on which the average Of peo-
pie must subsist. "The measure of
comfort which each man, woman and
child can yet enjoy on the average,
even in this prosperous land, must
probably come within what half dol
lar will buy at present prices. Fifty
cents day is the average measure of
the subsistence, savings and taxes of
every person. Two dollars a day for
each family group of two adults and
two children is the limit, because there
is no more to buy" If some have
more, others must have less. Another
statement is very forcible and suggest
i've: 4" In respect to food, the world
as a whole is always within one year
of partial starvation. IF work ceased,
the most prosperous country would be
reduced to general starvation in two
or at the utmost in three, years" So
in regard to clothing or the materials
of clothing, the world is always within
two or three years of becoming naked
There is food for thought in these
facts, as facts they are, that can be
readily demonstrated.

A stock company is forming at
New Haven, Conn.,, to make artificial
stone and marble. This stone is large
ly used for building purposes in Chica-
90 and other cities. It is stated that
while fifty per cent. cheaper than nat
ure's stone, it is said to be just as du-
rable. The movers in the business
want $4,000 in cash subscriptions.

President Arthur is still held by
the Government for a deficit of So 600
in his accounts as collector Of the port
of New York, due to an error of
clerk. A bill to release him from his
obligation passed the house four YEARS
ago, but failed to pass the senate. The
present congress is expected to pass
the bill, which no doubt wilt be ap-
proved by the executive.

of this Convention on the Legis-
lative ticket be pledged against
the form of railroad extortion
practiced by the Central Pacific
Railroad Company known as
shack freight" by which certain
freight landed in Reno is
charged for as if it was carried

in promoting the best interests
OF the country.
RcsoJced, That the presence
in our midst of a serviie race of
aliens, Incapable Of asslmilating
with our institutions is per
petual menace to all classes of
society. The relief extended
to our people by the passage of
a law excluding the Chinese by
3 Republican Congress and ap-
proved by a Republican Presi-
dent is genuine cause of salts
faction. We are in favor of

proper influences, and we favor
such additional legislation as the

mon schools of the State may
require. As free institutions

the text books at the lowest pos
,ible figure.
Resolved, That owing to The
position of Nevada from
he seaboard and the entire alb
,ence Of navigable waters and
competing lines of railroads to

| terms of equality in respect to
transportation charges with COM
munities specially favored by

| Res0tred, That We pledge the
Republican party, of Nevada to
such course Of enlighten ID
legislation as will extend to rail-
road and all other corporations

States establishing a postal tele-
graph service, and operating the
same in connection with the
PostofHce Department.
| Resoyred, That the coinage OF
silver should be placed upon the
same basis as that of gold, and

better promote the administra-
ton Of justice.

alton by Republican Congress

Tenders ia its supreme hour of

With . husband wanting in resolution
and firmness, and whose mind was fire.
quently afflicted, with princely boy, to
guard whose interests the most constant
and anxious vigilance were requisite, the
Queen was imperatively called upon to
exercise to the full all the courage,
promptitude and determination she pos
sessed.
The fuctuating fortunes of those long,
continued deadly Wars Of the Hoses
afford proof-if such be wanting.-that
the influence Of the Queenly Margaret
was something above and beyond that
OF an ordinary woman. Time after
time, when even q veteran commander
might have reasonably concluded all
was lost, Margaret rallied fresh adj
herents to her standard. So long rs her
husband lived, SO long as her princely
son was safe beside her, she never lost
heart, nor courage, nor energy.
From the terrible battle of Hexham
she, in mortal terror for her sons life,
fed with him on foot through the neigh
boring forest, till they encountered q
band Of robbers who possessed them
selves Of her jewels. While the men
were disputing over the booty, Mar
garet caught her son up in he, arms and
sped on. She had not proceeded far
when she met one OF the troop alone.
With her usual spirit and self-possession
she stepped forward with her little son,
and, presenting him to the robber, ex-
claimed: "Here, my friend, save the
son Of your Kingi" The man, struck

dangerous power placed in their hands under

into friendliness, and he led them to
cave where he sheltered them for two
days.
All readers Of history know how Mar-
garet's heroic struggles we're finally
overcome in the last brave effort Of the
Lancastrians at Tewksbury, that fatal
field that witnessed the death Of ''the
gallant, springlng young Plantagenet."
The despair Of Queen Margaret ut this
overwhelming disaster was lifelong.
She was brought to London with the
youthful widow Of her beloved son, the
ill-fated Anne Of Warwick, to grace the
train Of the victor. The same night the
Queen was imprisoned in the Tower.
and to the loss Of her son was added
that of her husband, who was murdered
at the same time by Richard, Duke Of
Gloucester.
After long and weary period, in
which she was conscious of nothing but
an awful sense of utter desolation, the
childless, widowed and dethroned Queen
was ransomed by her kind old father,
King Rene, at the sacrifice of his inher-
itance of Provence-of that Provence
which had once rung with joyful accla-
nations at sight Of the lovely Margaret
and her beautiful mother. Anjou's
lone matron had now drunk too deeply
Of the cup Of sorrow and bitterness to
take much interest in anything that life
could offer her. The agony and fierce
agitations she had undergone turned
the whole mass Of her blood, and every
trace Of her once ravishing beauty dis
appeared. She made the most strenu-
GUS efforts to obtain the bodies Of her
murdered husband and son. Even this
consolation was denied her; yet up to
the last day Of her life she employed
some faithful ecclesiastics in England
to perform at their humble graves the
offices deemed needful for the repose Of
their souls.
The remainder of her life was passed
in the greatest seclusion. She expired
at the Chateau Of Damprierre, ON the
25th Of August, 148O, in her 51st year.
