Candidates for Deleantes.

The Ipswich Tribune sees the following, in adj
dition to Capt Raymond, as material to send to
congress:
Among other northern Dakotaians who have a
longing to stand in the national halls of legisla-
ture, the names of Col. Pat Donon, Gen. Allen,
Col Steele and John Nickeus are the most prom
inent. OF these, it is probable that none will
make any great effort to reach the goal Col.
DOMAIN is man of ability and well posted in ma
tiona affairs, but his friends do not care to see
him 90 to congress, because he is too good man
for their country to have outside the territory
Gen. Allen is United States marshal for the ter
ritory is man of ordinary ability, and is more
noted for being genial, efficient officer than for
being parliamentarian. Col. Steele is north
Dakota boomer of the first water, and several
nnsayory scandals against him in regard to OBJ
tanning title to government lands have been
raised. John c. Nickeus is one of the pioneers
Of jamestown, a German by birth and man des-
tined TO become one of the leaders and recog-
nized for his natural ability.
There is no doubt that Col Donan could be
more useful at the federal capital than any Of
the others, but he will not get there if it de-
ponds upon his own efforts, as he will do moth
ing for himself. The same paper gives this lis:
of south Dakota aspirants:
''South Dakotas candidates are even more
numerous than those of the north, and it cannot
be said that they are better. Those who have
announced their desire to get there are Judge
Clifford, of Canton: Judge Shannon, OF Yank.
ton; Judge Rennett, of Clarke Charles G.. VII
liams, Gen. Pease and Y. c. Eddy, of Water
town, and sam. Mem er, of Deadwood''
Capt. Raymond seems to be the only one at
work for the nomination. He travels day and
night and it is said pledges all the patronage in
the territory.

and the majority could not for moment argue
with Littre and Renan. The fact is most people
are stupid-they acquire knowledge slowly and
with pains, and, If they retain it, with still
greater pains. Now it is for the benefit of such
people that methods are devised, and it's for all
Americans who wish a seryiceable colloquial
knowledge of the French language in compar-
atively short time, that Prof. Lambert demon
strates in the clearest and curtest common sense
system that small vocabulary of French words
and phrases may answer all the physical and
social needs Of any learner, and there
after he or she graft all the literary and sci
entific knowledge of the French grammar and
language which the most ardent ambition can
crave, but which will require a life time to
bridge over in comprehensive completeness.
Every one in st. Paul interested in French
should give Professor Lambert a hearing. He
puts his system in the mastery, adequate and
descriptive English which gives the clearest ex-
position of his idea, and herein alone he has
remarkable advantage over majority of teach
ers.
His opening lecture yesterday was, in many
respects, the most interesting ever given here
Teachers, students and all interested in i'm
parting instruction of any language would do
well to listen thoughtfuly to Prof. Lambert.

Ori1i1t of The WeIcOnle Onte.

Darlington Ne1cs: ''Mr. Georgs Elliott, one of
the most careful farmers of Spiritwood, sowed
eighteen and half pounds of Welcome oats ON
measured acre, and estimates the yield at one
hundred bushels
The editor of the Grand Forks Heraid says:
These oats are the product of seventeen grains
brought over from Staffordshire, England, in
December, 1876, by the editor ef the Herald in
his pocketbook, to fill vacuum therein. The
seed was piucked from field on the bank of the
river Sow, at Chapel Chorlton, about eight miles
from Newcastle under Lyme and five miles from
Burslem, where much of our stone china is made.
The field was rs fine sight ever greeted the
eye, the oats being uniformly about five feet
high and well filed. The grains were merely
pucked while passing through by path which
the students at College academy and others took
when they went to the rivulet to battle. They
were placed in a garden in central Pennsylyana
in the spring Of 1877, and from that source the
fine and largely advertised Welcome oats of Bur
pee may be traced.
