A NEW weekly, the Journal, has been
started at Bismarck by Col. Lounsberry.
1t is ably conducted, and is one Of the
best newspapers ever published in the
Capital. 1t promises to make land office
and land legislation news an especial fea-
ture, and it has secured the services of an
exceedingly interesting Washington cor
respondent. Whether there is field in
our ncighborinS city for a third paper is
an unsolved problem; but, if there is,
surely Col. Lounsberry has had experience
enough in Bismarck journalism to make
his new venture a success.

Though Blaine is popularly known as
'SE'he Man from Maine" says the Chi
cago Tribune, he is much more Western
lll1an i:hasst Nxy. Bn!ggtknder in hjs tcm5-
pGinment and habits of thought. He
ws,s born aud reared in Western Pennsyl-
v.s,ia; He is descendant of meniber
of II large Irish colony, mostly from
Ulster, which settled in the western por-
ton Of Pennsylvania; the panhandle of
West Virginia, and in the eastern part of
Ohio He is more familiar and has more
sympathy with the people and methods
Of the Missississippi Valley than with
those east Of the mountains. 1t is to
Western atfinities and influences that
what is known as his magnetism" is to
be attributed: He is o warm-b]ouded,
big hearted; whole-souled man, generous
in his impulses, frank and outspokcn in
hia dealings with other men, liberal in
his ideas, and devoted in his attachments.
He has the broad ideas of Amcucansm
which still prevail in the West, but have
been contracted and shriteled to consid-
ereble extent in the hard struggle for ex-
is&t.pce on the sterile sbil of New Eng
land and In the selfish society Of the
nldney. grabljers of Boston and Hartford.
These Westerh characteristics are /, tower
of strength for Blaine, and, if the nomi-
nation for President depended upon the
votes of Republican citizens his major
ity would be Overwhelming, for he is
ne,lrer to the people than any other man
whose name has been mentioned On either

On claim not many miles from Will
transport resides a lady whose experience
with the habits and nature of the wild
animals and birds Of the Northwest has
been extremely limited. Recently her
husband had occasion to leave home for
a few days. With the provident idca up
permost, and possessed of an absorbing
desire to cause u break in the bacon part
Of the daily menu, she began to look
|ahout her for game. Not with gun or
tap did she sally forth, but her method,
rs told by. her on her husbands return,
WIS as follows. In a serious manner she
asked, pointing to pond few hundred
yards from the house. on which were
aasiIy padding several water fowl:
A'fWhat makes those ducks so wild ut
ggignts'
1T is their nature. Why?'
During the early part of last evening
l heard them 'quacking' in the tall grass
on the edge Of the pond, so thought l
would wait until they were asleep and go
'1,ss catch some Of them, as there was no
moonlight. and thought they could not
see me- When everything was quiet l
went down there and approached them
cautiously; but, before I could get near
enough to catch them, they sctup great
clatter and flew away into the darkness.
Fever saw poultry so wild at homc,''
1t is unnecessary to state that bacon is
still on the daily bill of fare at the abode
of the brave little lady duck hunter.
