RETURNED LIBERIANs.
A Party of Colored People Come Back in q
Pitiable Condition.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., April 20.-In division
of a second-class coach of a south-bound
train on the Richmond e. Danville railroad,
yesterday, was group of colored people
two women and seven children-who were
just reaching home, They left two years
ago to cast their lot on the shores of Liberia,
land, they were made to believe, flowing
with milk and honey, and where the only
work required to make living was to go out
into the woods and shake tree, when
enough provisions would fall to make meal
for a family of ten. This was their idea of
Liberia, and they were doomed to bitter dis
pointment and long months of home
sickness and weary suffering. The
party got off the train at Concord,
their old home. They all belonged to the
Phifer plantation and they We're enabled to
come home through the kindness OF their
white friends in Concord, who made up a
sufficient sum to bring them. The party
were just two months making the journey
home and when they arrived they were
found to be i'll pitiable condition. Their
feet are strangely afflicted, being swollen to
three times the usual size. Some had lost
their toes, which bad dropped off as if
through leprosy. This disease is said to be
caused by insects which attack the penple of
Liberia In some instances these insects at
tack the whole body of person, but gener-
ally they are confined to the feet A physi-
clan of Charlotte was on the train and be-
came greatly interested in the case. The suf-
ferers told him that their feet were then in
much better condition than when they left
Liberia. Their troubles began on the first
day of landing in Liberia, when they saw
that their idea about the country was vastly
mistaken, and the whole party would have
returned in the ship that carried them over
had it been possible. Their friends left be-
hind are sick and dying and have hopelessiy
abandoned the idea of ever getting back I'M
less through the generosity of their white
friends In this country.

Northwestern Wheat Acreage.

ST. PAUL, April 21.-From various reliable
sources an approximate estimate has been
made as to the probable wheat acreage in
Minnesota and Dakota this year as compared
with 1882. In the former State the loss in
acreage is noted by land being given up to
dairying. but new land broken nearly offsets
this. While the total acreage Of Minnesota
in 1882 was 2,572, 000 this year it is estimated
it will be fully 2,5O0.000 In Dakota last
year the acreage was s5O,0 900, which this year
will be swelled to 100000. and tits estimated
this will swell the total crop to $4,000, 900

MINNESOTA'S MAYNARD CHILD.

Dakota papers are having serious
time in the effort of trying to make
strangers believe that the lands in that
territory are superior to those in Min
nesota. Such stuff as this goes down
into the stomach of those who have
travelled over this state, as does fresh
oyster without salt, pepper or vinegar;
it does not rest well. Dakota has re-
ceived the largest portion of it's immi-
grafton and enterprise from the fact it
adjoins Minnesota. Dakota's largest
village, Fargo, was forced, in getting
a start, to locate as near our state as it
could, that it might build itself up
upon the strength of our fine lands
reputation. Fargo was so anxious to
get close to us, it could scarcely keep
out of Red River in building the town.
We have furnished that territory peo-
pie, money, and brains, to open up
with, and now the hollow-headed up
starts think themselves nicer than
their old father and mother. What
ingratitude.
Morris tribune., 1883-10-13

The Silver and Copper Island Min
ing Company, near Pigeon River, on
Lake Superior, has concluded to put

rather than taking the ore to Chicago,

this will be the first smelling enter
prise in the state, and as the company
has capital of 100000, it will he

UNITED STATES BONDS.

Those who many years ago opposed
the issuing of bonds by the United
States, lest they might become good
for nothing, and stain upon the good
name of the country, are now just as
much opposed to their payment by the
Government, as they are wanted as a
foundation for National Banks. When
these bonds have all been called in and
paid off, it is feared there will be no
more National Currency, and that
wild eat banks throughout the several
states, founded upon no substantial
security, will follow. They now claim
a National debt is national blessing,
giving the whole country curren-
cy which is at all times safe and
sound, and never subject to amy
fluctuations in value. A remedy
might be had in the passage of IL law
stopping further payment for the next
forty or fifty years, until a good sub
stitute for L. :. bonds can be found.
