ago that in Southern and Central Min
nesota they could not depend upon the
profits of successive crops of wheat.
But this discovery, which administer
ed momentary check to the progress
of the State, has proved to be a bles-
sing. Under the spur of necessity,
people turned their attention to mixed
farming, with the result that there is
to-day among. the agricultural popula-
ton OF this State more real comfort,
more solidly grounded prosperity,
than at any other period of its history.
a transformation has come upon the
whole farming industry. Wheat cult
ure has not been.discarded, but along
With 1t the other grains are now pro-
duced i'll abundance; cattle, sheep and
hogs are raised in larger numbers;
fruit culture is receiving yearly more
attention; and dairying promises to
become the most prosperous business
i'll the State. Many observers report
that never before have they seen such
universal comfort as prevails in all
those parts of Minnesota where the
new system has been fairly inaugural
ed. 1t is only the sign and promise OF
what awaits the tiller of these fruitful
fields in the future. All industries
are open to their occupants, and the
failure Ct single crop cannot bring
distress, much less disaster. These
who FLED after their fields refused to
guarantee a certain return for wheat
culture without intermission, simply
have the same experience to go
through with on any lands upon
which they may settle; for the country
that can be paotitably devoted to one
crop forever has yet TO be discovered.

He appears at least advantage during
his young college days, in which period
we see him vacillating, uncertain, I'm
balanced in his character. At one tim.
moved to his Utmost heart by religion!
conviction, at another he appears as {
fippant, rakish youth Of the French
school. And so, all throughout hi
greener years, he appeared swayed, now
this way and now that, as any stronger
character with whom he temporarily
came in contact directed him.
In the pages of "Pepys' Diary" we
see him in one of these his youthful
phases. he says in one place: "Mr.
Penn, Sir Williams son, is come back
from France, and come to visit my wife
"a most modish person, grown up, she
says, fine gentleman. Again he
says; Comes Mr.. Penn to visit me. I
perceive something of learning he hath
got, but great deal, if not too much,
OF the vanity of the French garb, and
affected manner of speech and gait" A
year or so previous to the time of this
entry he was so far Influenced by a
-well-known Quaker preacher of Oxford
as seriously to contemplate joining that
sect. When this reached his fathers
ears he was packed unceremoniously
across to the Continent, where we see
how quickly he was cured of his pro-
cliEities.
AS man, this lack of ballast appears
to have passed away; his convictions
grew stronger, his character more de-
termined, and his life consistent. When
old enough to become thoroughly es-
tablished in his religious principles, he
never abated hairs breadth from the
standard he took. He is even known
ia have gone so far as to remain COW
cred in the presence, for one of the
articles of his faith was to remove his
hat to no man, and he obeyed the man
date implicitly.
An amusing and well-authenticated
account is told of him in connection
with his patron, James II. Shortly
after the accession of that monarch,
Fem was admitted to an audience. He
found the King standing surrounded by
several of his courtiers. The Friend

States, where thousands OF acres OF

Mississippi 'Skeeters.

the way the mosquitoes were biting
there even in April, was enough to
keep a mule moving. After awhile we

delicate being seeks her happiness in
his companionship. The honeymoon
lasts a very short time, the receptions
and rounds of parties are soon over,
and then the two sit down to make
home happy. If she has married a
society man, he will soon begin to
get bored; he will yawn and go to
sleep on the sofa. Then he will take
his hat and go down to the club and
see the boys, and perhaps not come
home until morning. If she has
married man engrossed in business,
he will be tagged out when he comes
home. He may be sickly man that
she must nurse, a morose man that
she must seek to cheer, a drunken
man that she must sit up for, a vio-
lent man that she fears, fool whom
she soon learns to despise, a vulgar
man for whom she must apologize
in short, there are thousands OF ways
of being bad husbands, and very few
ways of being good ones. And the
worst of it is that the poor, silly
women are apt to admire in single
men the very traits that make bad
husbands, and look with contempt
and ridicule upon those quiet virtues
which make home happy. Men with
very little personal beauty or style Of
ten make the wife happy, and some
times quite the reverse. The number
of ways of being a bad husband is
almost as great as the number of
ways of being ugly. No one can tell
from the demeanor of a single man
what sort of o husband he will be.
However, she must marry somebody.

How to Select a Husband.

1t has been profoundly remarked
that the true way of telling a toad
stool from a mushroom is to eat it.
If you die, it was toadstool; if you
live, it was a mushroom. A similar
method is employed in the selection
of husbands. Marry him; if he kills
you, he was a bad husband; if he
makes you happy, he is a good one.
There is really no other criterion.
Some young men that seem unexcep-
tionabie, indeed very desirable, when
they are single, are perfectly hornd
as soon as they are married. All the
latent brute there is IN the heart
comes out as soon as a sensitive and

What Makes Great Cities.

The opening of the Brooklyn
Bridge has called attention to the
possible creation of another great
city with over two million of inhabit-
ants. If New York, Brooklyn and
the surrounding towns were CONSOLE
dated, it would be by far the greatest
seaport in the world. 1t is worthy
of notice that heretofore cities have
become populous above their rivals,
because they were the seats of power,
All the historic cities of the world
were populous and wealthy on &C
count of their being the residences
of kings or rulers. Pekin, Moscow,
Berlin, PARIS, Vienna, Rome, Mad
rid and London are all practically in
land cities and have been made such
by being the capitals of the nations
in which they are situated. In the
United States so far, we have not
followed the precedent of the Old
World. New York, Boston, Chicago,
st. Louis and San Francisco have
not become populous or rich from
being centers of authority, but have
depended upon commerce or manu-
facture for their growth. There are
those who think that the greatest city
it the United States will be some
where in the interior. We have now
ffty-fve million of inhabitants, and
the child is born who may probably
see three hundred millions dwelling
on our territory. When that day
comes, the greatest center of popula-
ton will be somewhere on the Miss
issippi Valley, and not on the east
coast. Washington is growing city,
and one of which the nation may well
be proud. Its Vitality is due entirely
to the fact of it's being the capital of
the nation, for it's has neither trade
nor manufactures. Were the seat of
government to be removed to any
point in the West, Washington would
dwindle to the proportions of South
ern village. Business and natural
advantages, not power, create the
great cities of America-From Demon

Foreign.

A SENSATIONAL report comes from
London that Queen Victoria is about
to abdicate; or rather that such is her
mental and physical condition that her
abdication will become necessary. A
diplomat is quoted by q Washington
paper as saying that she is subject to
fits of melancholia, and also labors un-
der the delusion at times that her
dead husband is by the side of her in
the flesh. 1t is stated in addition that
the wound she received in her recent
fall has become n cancerous ulcer,
which resists all the efforts OF her sur
geons to heal. g. Timothy Kelly was
hanged at Kilmalnham jail, Dublin on
the 9Th inst, being the fifth man eXecu-

that the condemned man was swinging
between earth and heaven, several

for assisting in the riots and burning
the city after the British bombardment.
Sulie Daoud was leader Of gang OF
outlaws who pillaged and set fire to
Alexandria when Arab Pasha retired
from it April II, 1882. His defense was
that he acted under the orders or in
structions of Arab, but the latter and
his staff officers denied this. Mr..

that money was buried on the farmers
land. They went, dug and unearthed
1900 bright dollars, and divided the
pile. each taking half. As they felt
heavy, the stranger let the farmer take
the 5000, and was content with $500
in greenbacks, and the farmers note
for $1,000. and afterwards got the note
cashed in town. In about three weeks
the farmer went to surprise the bank
