WE ARE TO HAVE MORE
TERRITORY.

This country is getting too small we
are becoming cramped and to procure
us more elbow room, President Arthur
has gone to see if he cannot make a
trade for British Columbia. This is
what took him west. The rail roads
have agreed in advance to locate upon
it, and there build one of the grandest
harbors upon the face of the earth,
and for this purpose, if for none other,
we are in favor of taking that section
of country in, and hitching it on for a
summer resort. The rail roads and
ocean steamers will it is said, when
this has been acquired, make Chicago
the head centre for the receipt of pro-
ductions on one side, and of the sup
ply of exports on the other. But we
don't like the idea of leaving out OF
this scheme, the Millers Association.
It looks as if Chicago was trying to
play the swine las though the President
was seeking to have the next conven-
ton held at that place; and was to re-
ceive the nomination for his action in
the annexation.

Hon. knute Nelson is out of luck
with his appointments. At the request
of Lieut.. Governor Gilman, Nelson
removed Postmaster Trace, at Rice, in
Benton county, appointing Fox in his
place. He was requested by long
petition sent him signed by the many
citizens of that place, to reinstate
Trace, but he refused, and thereupon
the petitioners held an Indignation
meeting, and among other things:-
Resolved, that we regard the action
of Hon. Knute Nelson as neither fair
as a politician, honorable as our rep
resentative, nor just as a man. and, be
it further
Resolved, that we again insist on
our petition being granted; and, fur
ther be it
Resolved, that we do not recognize
the right of Chas. A. Gilman to inter-
fere in our local affairs in any way
whatever, and that he is hereby re-
quested to allow us to manage our own
affairs.

1t has been learned that j. Lange,
who attempted suicide by cutting his
wrists and throat, then jumping from
the passenger train near Minneiska
on Wednesday morning, is a German,
formerly minister at Portage, Wis.
While preaching there he become in
Volved in scandal with female
boarding at the same house that he
did. He then left Portage aud went
to Dakota, where he engaged in farm
ing. The story of his intimacy with
the woman at Portage followed him
there and caused him great mental
trouble. He recently returned to Por-
tage on business affairs, and the cool
treatment he received from his old
neighbors drove him to desperation.

The NJ nneapolis Tribune says:-
The servant girl question has been
settled at Winnipeg. For years that
city has been shouting to the young
women of the older provinces to come
over and "help' them, and so mighty
was the shout that the city has been
deluged with servant girls, and wages
have tumbled from twenty-five doll
ars to eight and ten dollars Il month.
One of the effects of the Cutting of the
Winnipeg servant girl market has
been that greater freedom has been
allowed the mistresses, some of whom
now do nearly as they please in their
own houses

MONO LAKE, CALIFORNIA.

The density of the water is remarka-
BILE, being just the reverse Of that Of
Lake Tahoe, in which the body
of drowned person never returns to
the surface. A paper says that for Bit
terness and promiscuous meanness the
waters of Lake Mono surpass those of
the Dead Sea. They contain SO much
alkali that on windy day the lake is a
regular tub of soapsuds. The writer has
seen a wall of lather five feet high along
the whole of that shore against which
the waves were beating. Occasionally
the wind would take up bunch of
lather as big as bushel basket and
carry it several hundred feet inland. So
buoyant are the waters of the lake that
quite party of men may navigate them
on raft made of four or five dry cot
tonwood poles. Out in the lake are
islands of rock Qava-like concretions),
through which streams of water boil up.
The water of these springs is like that
OF the lake, but in one place is large
spring of fresh water. This is near the
northwest corner of the lake, and at
point where there is a depth of eight
or ten feet of water. It is sort of
fountain. A column of fresh water,
some three feet in diameter, is projected
upward with such force that it raises to
the height of at least two feet above the
level of the lake in the form of mound
or knoll, and makes arippling noise that
can be heard considerable distance.
But for the fact that this fountain has a
depth of eight or ten feet to contend
against, it would probably rise to con
siderable height in the air.

Bensonites In Danger.

The Bensonite who attempts the
difficult feat of drinking with every
candidate for office who puts in an ap-
pearance these days, is liable to get
his tank overloaded.-Ben Times.
The Benson club got away with the
Willmar base ballists to the tune OF
25 to II and had an innings to spare.
One has only to glance at the
personal columns of our state dailies
to discover that titled gentry are be-
coming wondrously common in Mimi.
1t is a cold day when dozen or two
Captains, Colonels, Generals, or
Judges do not register their names at
the Merchants in ST. Paul, and as for
the prefix of Hon. and Prof, they
fairly crowd each other Off the side
walks.-Benson Times.

WHY THEY Ire DUDES.

Il beg your pardon, gentlemen" :"
said the reporter, awkwardly, II under
stand you are exponents of the dude
idea, and would like to get your opin-
ions on the subject. In other words,
are you dudes, and if so, why not?"
"Yahs," answered one of them mild
ly, 1--WE ah dyudes; if we were not, we
would resent the imputation, doncher-
know? And, va know, va cahn't ex-
pect dyude to have any opinions; the
only real philosophy there is in our ex-
istence is that we represent in our COM
posure and dress the perfect repose of
nature and beauty. I don't mind say
ing that I find it very hard myself to
be a dude; am naturally rather smart,
va know; but most of the smart fell
lows are so ducedly vulgah, va know;
so proud of what they call their indie
pendence, that I cahn't bear their So
ciety. I considah the dyude to be the
most refined type of gentleman that
America has yet produced. That's
why I am dyude. Geahge, here, is a
dyude, too"
"Gcahge" was asked why he was a
dude.
II? I'm y Eyude because Chahles is,
va know"
"Do you hold his opinions on the
philosophy of the species?"
"Well, va know, I haven't any opin-
ions, but if Chahles has any, guess I
can trust myself to him."
"Why do you wear that bouquet in
your buttonhole?"
Because Chahles wears one, va
know"
And then they relapsed into silence,
and, Withdrawing into their shirt-col-
lars, gazed absently ahead. Boston

.P6REGORrC.

If I were disposed to curse any
mother by the "crossness" of her chill
dren, I might advise the free use of this
fashionable article 1t is used with the
false idea that it will aid the mother in
keeping her babe asleep or in quieting.
Now, it will do no such thing, on the
whole, but the contrary. No one ever
saw babe that had taken much of it
that was not unusually "cross," fretful,
peeyish and very unamiable! To give
it is like borrowing money at an ex-
orbitant rate, then at q higher rate to
rupt. The sleep supposed to be OBJ
tanned is not sleep, but stupor, which
must so "unstring the nerves" as to in
crease the irritability and wakefulness.
It constipates, locks the whole powers
up, so to speak, so that natural action
is impossible. It produces general dis
order in the system, including costive-
ness, which is relieved by physic, which
as certainly aggravates the difficulty,
growing worse and worse by each ap-
plication. How long will it take to re-
cover at that rate?)
But what shall be given? That de-
pends on what is the disturbance. If
the babe is wakeful from pain in the
stomach, let that organ rest for time.
If there is pain in the bowels, give an
injection of warm water. If it is hungry,
and you are sure, very sure, of it-which
may be doubtful, as children CRY
from pain as we'll as hunger-nurse it.
Remove the cause of unrest, but do not
stupefy babe just for the purpose of
having quiet, chance to work. It is
better for the mother to sleep. If the
babe has common sense, it need not
sleep all of the time It has a right to
play and look about part of the time
as we'll as adults.-Dr. j. H. Ha7aa-

WHO OWNS WASHINGTON CITY ,

This is an age of startling, turning
up OF something new and exciting. A
man by the name of Samuel B. ELL
mondson of st. Louis, has with others
come to the front with what he calls a
title to large portion of Washington
City, including that which is now the
capitol grounds in that city. 1t is
claimed that John Greenleaf who had
only a lease hold for ninety-nine years
sold to the government, consequently
conveying no title in fee, that this
lease is about to expire, and that moth
ing short of sc, 100000, will obtain a
good deed for it to the government.
He will have no trouble in getting this
amount of money from Uncle Sam, if
he will pick up the real estate agents
through the country, and have their
Senators and Representative in Con-
gress, recommend the purchase. And
why not? Can we see the nest of the
grand old bald headed American eagle
in dispute for the paltry sum of $6, ,000,-
000.? We should say not, but rather
letthe blood in our patriotic veins
turn to water, and the water be drank
by the wild hiena of the forest, than to
think of it. We don't know yet how
much of the swag we are going to get.

SWEARING BY PRoxY.

A Duluth lady was passing along the

GoULDING THE NORTHERN
PACIFIC

The attempt lately made in Wall
Street to injure the Northern Pacific
road by running down it's stock in the
market, failed to accomplish the de-
sired object. The affairs of the road
were found to be in a condition to
sound for the wary speculator. The
confidence in this great line flowing
through the unbroken wilds on it's
way to the Pacific, was an enterprise
too huge for the New York thieves to
get away with. The northwest is too
we'll organized, and growing too rich
to permit ofsuch an unmitigated out
rage to be perpetrated to their injury.
The east will be permitted to assist in
running affairs in the west, to it's ad-
vantage, but when it becomes exclu-
sive it will find we have grown out of
our baby clothes, and are wearing
mems garments. 1t will also ascer-
tain, that these garments contain

are heads almost, if not quite equal,
to those of the ordinary down easter.
The earnings of this road will for the
month of August foot up to $4,000, 900,
and this probably is what in part had
tendency to disturb the New York
stock market, and inwardly moves its
bowels Of compassion to make run
on the line. Mr.. Gould is little dis
couraged at striking bed rock so deep
and hard, as to head off his attempt to
purchase below the regular cash
value, a majority of the stock. He
had supposed Willard and his hackers
We're asleep, and perhaps they were,
but they were too well fixed to be

Hartland q Corners.

Leonard Spaulding, who is ninety
five years old, is quite sick at the
house of his son George.
Application for damages and injuries
on the road near North Hartland have
been made to the selcctmen by B. F..
Hoisington and Mr.. Devons, who were
recently hurt by a land slide on the
north bank of the Quechee river.
Ezra Marston, from the south, is
here with friends in this village. Last
year when he came north he brought an
alligator with him. This was given to
son of M. c. Harlow of Cornish. -
On changing the water in the tank, a
hired girl put in, accidentally, scald-
ing water, instead of moderately warm
water. This had a very enlivening
effect on the alligator, when the girl
called on Mrs. Harlow to come and
"see how awfully he was foppin'
round" He only lived two days
after this, and what is singular, during
this time, he showed the most intense
anger by swapping and biting at the
author of his misery whenever she
made her appearance, while no demon
STATIONS of this kind were made
towards any other member of the
family Cor. Windsor Journal.
