Henry \. Copp, the land and pen
sion attorney of Washington, D. c.,
sends the "U. 5. Salary List and Civil
Service Law" price 30 cents. All
government salaries above $500 are
given, including the executive depart
ments, army aud navy, internal reve-
nue., custom houses, Indian agencies,
diplomatic and consular service, post
offices, &c. There are fully 10000
federal Offices for President CIeve-
lands administration to ill. Twenty
pages Of specimen examination ques-
tions are given with the civil service
law and regulations. This is probably
the cheapest form in which this desired
information has been published.
This manuel may save candidates
from refusing FIT places" through
wrong information. The book does
not profess strict accuracy on postmas-
tiers salaries, which 90 up or down
with every REIMBURSEMENT, but is near
enough for practical purposes. Mr..
Copp wishes to correspond with par
ties who know the address Of any Mex

History Repeats Itself.

Now that Minnesota, or rather, the
people Of Duluth, are trying to get
possession of Superior BY annexation,
we are reminded that similar at
tempt was made some twenty years
age, the only difference being that at
that time the citizens Of Superior, for
the sake Of gaining railroad facilities,
were il favor Of the praiect. In gen
eral laws Of 1868, page 1928, in joint
resolution No. 3, We find the following
action recorded:
WHEREAS, J memorial Of the leg
islature Of the state Of Minnesota
praying for the ces>ion Of the county
Of Douglass, in this state, to the state
Of Minnesota. has been laid before
this legislature; and
WHEREAS. Said memorial prays
for the appointment Of commissioners
by this body. 10 act in conjunction with
commissioners to be appointed by the
state OF Minnesota, to locate the
boundary line between the states,
along the waters Of the upper St.
Croix river and lake, and the Bots
Brule river, to Lake superior; and
WHEREAS, The said memorial,
among other things, states, that
Douglass county was started ana prin-
cipally settled by citizens Of the state
Of Minnesota; AMI
WHEREAS, While it may possibly
be true, that Douglass county was
settled by cit zans Of Minnesota, it is
undoubtedly also true that a consid-
cradle portion Of the state of Minneso-
/ ia was settled by citizens Of Wiscon-
sin; and
WHEREAS, We see nothing in the
above facts to justify the cession on
the part Of this state to the state Of
I Minnesota, Of belt Of territory eni-
bracing, as Douglas county does, one
! Of the finest harbars on Lake Supe-
rior, and some Of the richest mineral
lands in that region, thereby reducing
the shore line Of the state Of Niscon-
sin on Lake Superior TO a small strip
Of about 90 miles in length: now,
! therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the assembly, the sen
ate concurring, That we deem it mex
pedient to cede any portion Of our
present territory to any other state,
and consequently most respectfully de-
