MADRID, Aug. 16.-Newspapers
here declare that French spectators
raised 100000 francs for the purpose
of corrupting the Spanish army and
bringing about an uprising. The pa-
pers making this assertion promise to
give more particulars concerning the
scheme when the censorship of the
press is abolished. A semi-official
journal admits there may be some

THE SAVING DISTANCES.
Now glance at map and note the
saving in distance that may be effect ed
by the northern route via the 800
as compared with the southern route
via Chicago
The distance from Minneapolis to
the $500" by the proposed road is 46d
mixes ; from the "Soon to Montreal
is 545 miles from Montreal to Quebec
is 473 miles from Montreal to Port
land is 297 miles, to Boston 2S5 miles
and,to New York 391 miles.
Thus it will be seen that the con-
struction of this road would place
Minneapolis and st. Paul in con-
nection with railroad system that is
q natural and inevitable competitor
with the system running south of
Lake Michigan and centering at Chi
cago, and effect at the same time an
average saving in distances. : For in
stance it is 331 miles nearer from
Minneapolis to Portland via the $500"
and Odgensburg than via Chicago,
POI miles nearer to Boston, and 1O2
miles nearer to New York. With the
northern route in operation we could
get as low rates to the seaboard as can
be given from Duluth, even in sum-
mer, or even lower, and the disad-
vantages of the haul to Duluth would
cease to be against us.
PUSH is THE WORD
We shall proceed Immediately to
work. A large amount of the stock
will be subscribed Immediately and
two corps of engineers will be placed
in the field at once. We shall have
the surveys and preliminary work
by next spring, and be
ready then to go to work upon con-
A corporation will be or
ganized under the laws of Minnesota
to construct the portion of the road
from Minneapolis to the st. Croix
river. 1t will be an entirely. new
road, crossing the river somewhere be-
tween Saltwater and st. Croix Falls.
LOCAL ADVANTAGES.
1t should be noted that the road
will pass for long distances through
the heavy timbered lands of Wiscon-
SIMS pine region. 1t will also pene-
trate the iron districts of Wisconsin
and the,upper PENN sula of Michigan
will thus be placed
thoroughly en rapport with these
regions.
IT'S A BIRD.
The Journal man then withdrew,
for the first time in his life
that the scheme to build a northern
railroute to the sea board via the Sault
Ste Marie had at last materalized in
to defnate shape and purpose. Our
own capitalists have taken hold of it
and will put their own means into it
and they have secured alliances with
Detroit Canada and other capitalists
that will make failure impossible.
Hurrah for the Northern Line, which,
when completed, will inaugurate a
new and more glorious era in the de-
of these cities that even

Der of the judges family was s1n named
Frank, who was half.witted fellow and
queer 10 many ways. In the summer OF
1887 some friends from New York came to
visit the judge, and after a stop Of few
days started on saturday morning on their
way home, intending to stop over Sunday
Frank heard their plans talked over, and
then said: .'Ynu better not start; there is
going to be big storm that will carry all
the bridges away, and you will have 10

The sky being cloudless the gentlemen
laughed at Frank and drove off. In the
afternoon the storm began, and all that
Frank had predicted came true. One OF

CHARGE OF THE MULE BRIGADE

During the advance OF General IIooker's
command upon the enemy, near Lookout
Mountain. an incident occurred which
caused much merriment at the expense OF the
rebels. Hooker moved on Lookout Noun
tain very cautiously from the west side
and it was while engaged in the movement
up the valley that a great stampade took
place. 1t was in the dead Of night, when
both armies were resting from the fatigues
Of the previous day, and the scntinel's tread
was the only sound that disturbed the uni-
verssl quiet.
Rushing from the wagons, to the number
Of about thirty, the mules made for tho
enemy's lines like frightened sheep. The
drivers were awakened by the noise, just
nItime to witness the disappearance Of the
animals through our advanced pickets. The
enemy's pcRets were not caught mapping
Hearing the mule brigade tearing across
the valley, they mistook them for Yankee
cavalry charging, discharged their musk
els at the supposed 'Yanks,' and fell back
upon battalion stationed little in the
rear Of them, with the cry that the enemy
was upon them.
The battalion. partaking Of the alarm.
sprang TO arms only in time to hear the
sound Of the frightened mules, whose race
was not checked by the volley from the
pickets. They retreated also shor: dis
tance to a point where whole rebel brig
ade had stacked their arms, and were calm
ly dreaming of home and battle scenes. In
rushed the battalion, more dead than aliye
from fright, with the exclamntion-"Hoo,
ker has surprised u.s. his cavalry is upon usl'
The valiant sons of Mars did not wait TO
gather up their blankets or guns, but made
til, Ifastest pedestrian time on record back
to the main force, leaving upon the held
fsr the mule brigade, over one thousand
stand of arms, among which were three
hundred new Enfield rifles, blankets,
small arms, knapsacks, etc. meantime,
our: s:teamsters- had given the alarm, and a
force was sent out for the recovery OF the
mules and in few hours the expedition,
by the mules, returned to our
lines with the valuable spoils.
This midnight charge of tho mule brigade
is well worthy of a place in history.

stores aud arms was secured, and Hooker
was enabled to rush his advance much
nearer the point of ground contended for.

THE LESSON OF THE FIoons


The floods IN the Ohio which did such
damage to the valley and DESTROYED SO
much property at Cincinnati and Louis
vile, emphasize the fact more than once
adverted to in these columns, that the
nation should. not only put stop to the
waste of forests, but should take immsdi-
ate measures to replant with erees the
ground Dor iering on the headwaters of
allour great streams. The spring floods
and the summer droughts are, it is now
well known, almost entirely due to the
destruction of the forests on the borders
OF streams and in the hill countries in
which our famous rivers take their risa
Every year wenow have disastrous floods
either on the sea coast or the Ohio and

States affected cannot attend to tbis

or not at all. Not only property but life
Is often destroyed by these floods. Had
the Ohio risen few feet higher both
Cincinnati and Louisville would have
been practically destroyed. The ancient
Egyptians built gigantic works to pre-
vent disastrous inundations from the ris.
ing Of the Nile. Artificial lakes anG

Pluck the sting from toll and strife;
And II rugged he the pathway

Friendly hands may point 10 beauties
Which alone we had not seen.

Round the sacred fires OF home,
With sweet music, books and converse;
All the world outside may gloom!

Lest simplicity depart,
And formality and fashion
Takes the place of brain and heart.

When the soul is bruised and crossed,
Like a ship on stormy pillows,
Crippled, lashed and tempest tossed;
Then, when helpless and forsaken,
Do we prize the precious few,
That will guide us into haven
And still keep our bark in view.
A few friends, beyond the river,
the farther shore,
Make us long to reach the harbor
OF the dear ones gone before;
And we strive for nobler virtues,
Scatter seeds of truth and luye,
Knowing that they watch, aud beckon,
From the siniess realms above.
