A Cradle OF Great States.
From the New York Times, June Ii.

There is line of five Territories "
ing between Minnesota and the Pacific
Ocean, upon the development of which
the completion of the Northern Pacific
Railroad is destined to have a remark
able effect. Their united area exceeds
by more than 100, 900 square miles that
of the entire range of Atlantic States
from Maine to Florida, which COM
prised the original Union of States, and
they contain some of the richest lands
on which the sun shines. The great
streams of migration from all directions
are already pourlng over their eastern
and western frontiers and building up
tho material for great States. Farms
spread over the plains and through the
valleys IS if by magic, and towns spring
up in month at the touch of enter
prise and industry. Deposits of price
less minerals await the miner, and
water power of stupendous extent is
wasting itself on cataracts and wild
streams alive with undisturbed fish.
Capital and labor, eager as they are for
profitable employment, are embarrassed
by the extent Of their unused opportu-
mites in the great Northwest.
A letter from Portland, Oregon, gives
some idea of the rapidity with which
population is touring into that region
and preparing to work its unlimited
resources, and of the impulse which
gwen to its development by the compile
ton of the great northern line of tran
sentimental communication. As soon
as the main line is through It will begin
TO throw out branches aud feeders into
the adjacent territory and make con-
uections in every direction. The process
is destined to go forward on scale and
with a momentum unparalleled. From
the very nature of It's attractions this
region il acquiring population of an
int lligent, sturdy and useful character.
1t has no use for idlers. Capital aud in
dustry are the sole means of winning
the prize it ohers, and people are going
in from the settled states SIS well as
from foreign lands, and they are of the
wide-awake and industrious kind
For these territories census statistics
grow old in three years. The emu
meratioa of 1880 put the population of
Washington territory at "a, 116. Our
correspondent believes tkat before the
end of the present year it will De 175,-
600. and by the close of 1854 225 600.
Dakota, on the east of this great range
of territories, had in 1880 population
of lS5, III, which was more than twice
that of the state of Nevada. 1t has
been growing with great rapidity since,
and probably does not ST the present
moment fall far short of 200. 600.
These two territories will probably sp-
ply next winter for admission to the
union of states. A movement looking

LOOKING AT BOTH SIDES.
A RErRosPEcT OF THE PAST YEAR.

The good wife busted about the house,
Her fase still bright with pleasant smile,
As broken snatches of happy song
Strengthened her heart and hands the while.
The good man sat in the chimney nook,
His clay pipe within his lips,
And all he'd made, and all he'd lost,
Ready and clear on HE finger-tips.
"Good wife, I've Just been thinking bit;
Nothing has dene very well this year,
Money is bound to be hard to get
Everything il sure to be very dear.
How the cattle are going to be fed,
How we're to keep the boys at school,
Is a kind Of debt and credit sum
can't make balance by any rule"
She turned around from the baking board,
And she faced him with cheerful laugh
why, husband dear, one would really think
That the good, rich wheat was only chat.
And what if wheat is only chaf;
so long as we both are well and strong
I'm not a woman TO worry bit
Somehow or other we get along.
Into lives some rain must fall,
Over all lands the storm must beat,
But when the storm and rain Are DER
The after sunshine is twice az sweet.
Through every strait we have found a road,
In every grief We have found song,
We have had to bear and had 10 wait,
But-somehow or other we get along.
For thirty years we have loved each other,
Stood by each other whatever befGll
Six boys have called us father and her
And all Of them living and doing well.
We owe no man penny, my dear;
Are both Of us loving and well and strong
food man, wish you would smoke again
And think how well we have got along"
"He filed his pipe with pleasant laugh
Ee kissed his wife with tender pride
lie said, IN do as you tell me, love,
III just count up on the other side"
She lett him then with his better thoughts,
And lifted her work with low, sweet song,
A song that's followed me many year
Somehow or other we get along"

Fashions.
New York Herald.

The fashionable style of driving is to
make sudden round turn when going
into side street, thus giving no sign
to pedestrians on crosswalkS.
The four bridesmaids at recent
English wedding wore dresses of white
sole de chine and lace, with bonnets to
match. Their shoes and stockings were
of bronze, and at their threats they
wore horseshoe pins of pearl and coral,
the gift of the bridegroom. In their
hands they carried large bouquets of
dafodils.
For young girls white cashmere has
a mingEpg of ruby velvet.
Dangling balls of chenille for dress
trimmings are fashionable in England
Notwithstanding their ugliness.
A gorgeous Indian pattern is worked
upon dress ground of sky blue.
For dress occasions, plaids have not
secured much favor in England, even
for young girls.
A very fashionable and exquisite ar.
rangement of colors in dress is O
rose, pink and brown.

although Il 9 immense waste of power

although tie immense waste of power
its use incurred seemed to make little
impression among the engineers, it was
an assurance to Ericsson that it could
never be made to the efficient work.
He determined therefore to find other
means of forcing vessels through the
water. He succeeded. In 1887 he towed
the Admiralty barge down the Thames
at the rate of seven nautical miles an
hour with steam launch, wherein the
obhque action of the propeller was
made TO take the place of the direct
action of the paddle. Besides utilizing
90 per cent more of the power derived
from the combustion of coal than the
paddle, it was submerged, and there
fore did not, like the paddle, invite the
assault of the sea. But, after several
months consideration of the subject,
those ingenious landsmen, the Board of
Admiralty, decided that the use of the
propeller. was imprac.icable, as it would
interfere with the running gear of 8
ship.
Disguised at this, Ericsson came to
this country. His project was greedily
seized upon by practical men; and YES
sells which previously had been enabled
to carry little cargo, save the coal
necessary to drive their paddle-wheels,
now packed the msj ority of their coal
bunkers with merchandise.
Singularly enough, Ericsson delights
IN knocking down idols which he has
once set up. Thus, he projected the
steam-engine and found new use for it;
and, this being done, at ence set HIM
self to work to find machine that
should take its place-nsmely: solar
engine, which gathers and slows away
the heat generated by the suns rays.
1t should be said, however, that Erics-
son only intended this to take the place
of the sseam-engine where fuel was
| costly and water not to be had. IS, for
instance, in Upper Egypt.
Again, after reyolutionizing marine
warfare with his monitor, he is now
hard st work perfecting Destroyer"
that shall make armored war-ships as
useless as wooden ones.
Capt Ericsson is widower and child
less. The fact that bis father, uncles
and brothers have been distinguished in
their native country for mental ability
goes far to prove that John Ericsson's
genius is no abnormal growth, but the
healthy product of a rare sock which
has in him reached its best develop
ment.

Stalking n Life Oh n Card.

The long and prosperous career of
Flotow, the composer, who died recent
ly, was temporarily clouded in 1864 by
the death Of his younger brother, which
took place under painfully dramatic
circumstances. He was rather what is
euphemistically called wild" fellow,
and practical joke which he perpetrat-
ed in half-drunken freak was taken as
an insult by the whole body of the
Mecklenburg Deputies, of which he
himself was one. A dozen challenges
ensued, and young De Flotow agreed
to meet any single antagonist selected
by lot. This, as 1t happened, turned out
to be certain Count L, one of the
Deputies who resented the otlense most
keenly. Ga De Flotow's asking him if
he thought stupid joke worth fighting
about and receiving an empathic an
swer in the affirmative, "Be it So" ne
said land if you attach as little value
to life rs | do We will fight in the
American fashion, stalking my lie
against yours in game of ecarte of
five points; the looser to blow out his
brains in twenty-four hours" The
proposition was agreed to. Cards were
brought, and the two men commenced
their terrible game. The score stood at
four points on each eide, when Count
z turned the king"
"You have won sir" said young De
Flotow, rising; 81 will pay before noon
tomorrow"
Next day he slept till IL.
Alter breakfast he took a turn ii the
park, and was observed by his valet
gazing for SOME minutes at the facade
of the ancestral mansion; sitter which
he hid his face in his hands for q mo.
ment As if weeping. He then pulled
out his watch; it wanted but five
minutes of noon. NJ. De Flotow entered
his study. AT Il precisely the report of
pistol shook the window-panes. He
had punc,ualy killed himself.

FASHION TOPICS.

Mule-riding is the latest English
craze, for which the Duke of E3lnburg
is responsible.
Hubert Herkomer has made $45 600
in six months painting portraits, and

Independent young women select
some simple style that IS becoming to
them and have all their dresses of both
rich and plain fabrics msdy by one pat
tern.
In warm weather the advantages of
an artificial couture that is ALWAYS in
crimp, such as those made by Burn
ham, that are always ready on all oc-
casions, is universally conceded. The
best quality of hair and workmanship
are essential. For these visit Burn

A Man Who Swallows Knives.

A Shelton correspondent says: The
statement of the man Perry, living near
the bridge, that he had swallowed 3
pocket. knife and sundry other articles
proves to be true. Besides the knife,
which is three and 81 half inches in
length and sn inch across the largest
end, several large sized buttons. and a
pint of kerosene oil were all taken into
his stomach about the same time. The
attempt also to swallow 8 good sized
spool of thread b. fiji d his efforts. Had
he succeeded t. that he would probably
have tried next the cook stove, the
grindstone, or something equally solid.
He is now apparently well and no
serious results are apprehended. The
case is a peculiar one and we presum e
hiss no parallel in medical practice. AS
the party cut his throat at the same
time these things were swallowed, it
would seem that he is proof against
anything of a deadly nature.

Hop to "Hop From Obscuritf. Z:

Mr.. Monsey, in TIE heyday of his
ocial fame, told his friends that the
first of his ancestors of any note was q
baker ans retail dealer ia hops. At =
critical point of this worthy mans
career, when hops were "dosn" and
feathers were sup" to. raise small
sum of money for immediate use he
ripped open his bed, sold tee feathers,
and stuffed the tick with unstable hops.
Soon change in the market occurred,
and once more operating on the couch
es ased by himself and children, he
sod the hops at q profit, and bought
back the feathers. That's the way,
sir, by which my family hepped from

A Ducks Ruse Against a Dog.

While hunting above the Grand River
dam a man shot, but he did not kill,
one of two ducks which we're mates.
He sent his dog into the river after it,
and as the injured one could not swim
very fast the dog was likely to get it.
Seeing this, the other one, which had
swan quite Always ahead, turned about
and came near the dog, which imme-
diately left the other and chased this.
The duck now JUST kept out of reach
OF the dog and led it down toward the
dam, and just before reaching it dove
under. The dog failea 10 get it and,
being so near the dam, he went over
and came very near drowning.
