and yellow fog has re-appeared, te
revive my recollections Of dark and
dingy days gone by. They seem
more miserable than ever, after the
clear sparkling air of Minnesota. The
weather has been very changeable too,
sometimes intensely cold, as a Decent
Der day, and again as warm as July
noon. The result is a plentiful crop
of colds; and if people have not got
frozen ears they have got sore noses
and hard coughs alternate with severe
sneezes.
i The trials of the ''Invincibleso is
of course exciting good deal of at
tention in England, and indeed has
allayed the alarm which was pro-
duced by the discovery of the dyna-
mite factory at Birmingham. No one
seems to be safe. We can not tell
what buildings may not'be blown up,
and innocent lives with them. If the
idea of the dynamite party is to enact
terror into the hearts of the English,
and especially of those who are inno-
cent of any injustice to the people of
Ireland, then indeed they are sue
cessful. But surely reforms which
are needed can be secured by other
and better means than the murderous
ones now used.
/ A vast majority of the liberals of
the land are irritated at the thought
of the large pension which is to be
given to Wolseley for setting off his
fire works at Alexandria, and destroy
Ing lot of innocent people. Mr..
Gladstone, in proposing this, is adding
another to the many mistakes of an
otherwise noble and useful life. Some
of the more thoughtful Of his party
were against the move altogether, and
many are opposed on principle 10 Tic
huge sums which are lavished upon
successful military leaders. The tax
alton of the country at present is most
serious, and in my opinion ere long
there will be loud and imperative pop
ular demands for retrenchment-. / am
doing my best to famiiarize some of
my friends, and even strangers, with
the name of Minnesota. Considerable
interest is excited, and the hope may
be reasonably entertained that some
will be likely to come West. Among
the letters awaiting NE on my arrival
was one from lady who had excel
lent testimonials of ability and char
acter. She had applied for position
of matron, and found that there were
some two hundred applicants like her
self for the affiee, 1t was time she
thought to lessen the crowd, and she
for one would be off. She heard my
account of the West, and in week
after was on the sea. She soon packed
up her things and went. / hope she
will soon get husband to take care
of, for she is one of the sind both to
take care of herself and some one else
into the bargain.
