Judge Start has rendered a decis-
sion involving the question of the
validity of endorsements for the
Minnesota Elevator company by the
Wabasha mills, and the old Mazeppa
Mill company. The Wabasha mills
endorsed for the elevator company to
the amount of $4,000, and the Ma
zeppa Mill company had endorsed to
the sum OF $4,000. The judge has
decided that these endorsements are
invalid, that corporations have not
power to endorse paper for the ac-
commodation OF other parties. It is
claimed that if the decision holds
good it will make the Wabasha mius
solvent, that company having s1Hi-
cient funds to liquidate its own in
debtedness.-P. P. Red Wing news.

The following from Harpers
Weekly will doubtless surprise many
of our readers:
The Evening Post has made some
interesting calculations from the sta
tistics of the number of men in the
Union army and the parts of the
country from which they came. The
whole number of Union soldiers,
from the firing on Fort Sumpter to
the end of the war, was 3, 1859, 1872, of
which the Northern States furnished
2,39O,0o1 The census of 1850 showed
that there were $780, ,503 men of mil
itary age, between eighteen and
forty-ive years, in the North ern
States, 80 that the whole number of
troops furnished by them was just
short of 81 per cent. The percentage
varied largely in the different States !;
New Hampshire sent 54 per cent,
and Indiana, which was held to be a
very strong Copperhead region, "a
per cent.
It is surprising, however that the
State which furnished the largest
number of Union troops in proper
tion to her population was the old
Slave State of Delaware. In 1850 she
had 1928 white males between the
ages of eighteen and forty.fve, and
she sent 1880 men into the Union
army, which was 74.8 per cent.
Rhode Island, the next smaller State,
sent 66 per cent, and next to Indiana,
which sent "A, Kansas sent 72 per
cent.
Maryland, another border State in
bad Union repute, sent 40, per cent.
of her military population. Ken.
lucky, whose Governor made an inso-
lent reply to President LINCoLN's
summons, nevertheless sent 79,O25
out of 1eO,580 of the army age, or
nearly A. per cent. Missouri sent
Al per cent, and Tennessee, which
actually seeded, furnished 31,O92
men to the Union ranks. The half.
dozen border States gave 315, 1892 men
to defend the Union. From other
Southern States came 23,045, making
total of 338.327, or about one eighth
of the Union forces, from the old
Slave States. The Post show the
non-partisan character of the army

ware gave LINCOLN less than one.
quarter of her votes, and Vermont
more than three-quarters, yet Yer.
mont sent only So per cent. of her
available men into the army, and
Delaware nearly rs per cent. The
Post concludes its interesting analy.
sis by saying:
"The Southern men who fought
for the Union have enjoyed, perhaps,
the sweetest victory ever vouchsafed
to the champions Of a righteous
cause. Phey have not only seen the
cause triumph when but for their
help it must seemingly have failed
they have also lived to see the men 01

The Washington Monument.

The Washington Monument has at
last been finished, after forty years of
incompletion, and on Saturday was
formally and impressively dedicated.
Its total height is 900 feet, forty-five
feet higher than the Cologne cathedral,
hitherto the highest structure on earth.
A large crowd witnessed the dedicatOry
ceremonies, though the weather was
stinging cold The military parade il
said to have been the handsomest ever
seen there. Col. Casey, the engineer,
dedicated the monument tn the name
aud memory of George Washington in
a short and felicitous speech. The
procession then formed and moved to-
ward the Capitol where the concluding
ceremonies were held. In the House of
Representatives a distinguished crowd
was gathered, composed Of the best sOcie-
at Washington and many prominent
visitors. Among the latter there were
noted the Hons. II. d. McHenry and
Jas. A Mckenzie and Gen. 5. B. Buck
ner, from Kentucky, who took seats on
the Democratic side. Mr.. Edmunds
presided over the meeting. Gov. Long,
of Massachusetts, read the Winthrop
paper, a long and reminiscential or
alton, an old mans effort, but touched
with eloquence, and eliciting applause.
Mr.. John w. Daniel, of Virginia,
delivered the eulogy, and splendid one
it was. He was frequently and en-
Enthusiastically applauded. He was very
eloquent, and was warmly congratulate
ed by those near him at the close Of his
Grafton. The following is his peroration ::
Long live the Republic of Washing
ton! Respected by mankind, beloved
of all its sons, long may it be the asylum
of the poor and oppressed of all lands
and religions long may il be the cita-
del of that liberty which writes beneath
the eagles folded wings: We will
sell to no man, we will deny to no mar,
Right and Justice
Long live the United States of
America Filled with the free, mag
unanimous spirit, crowned by the wis
dom, blessed by the moderation, hover
ed over by the guardian angel of
Washington's example, may they be
ever worthy in all things to be defended
by the blood of the brave who know the
rights of man and shrink not from their
assertion may they be each column,
and, all together, under the Constitu-
tion, perpetual Temple Of Peace,
unshadowed by Cesar's palace, at
whose altar may freely commune all
who seek the union of Liberty and
Brotherhood.
Long live our country Oh, long
through the undying ages may il stand,

Work

To win we must work. Nothing is
accomplished without hard work. My
life has been prosperous to the last degree
but have not had any good luck. /
have heard people talk about streak
of good luck; but have had god God
watching me, aud helping aud guiding
me, and correcting my mistakes, and
when | worked hard he blessed me, and
when / was lazy he did not bless me.
Whether my work has amounted to
ANYTHING or not, I must leave to others
to Judge, but for the last thirty years |
have worked up to my full capacity of
endurance, and if have gone away to
rest.it was merely to get ready to work;
and this work all accomplished against
the full protest of my nature, for am
naturally the LATEST man that eyer was
born. But am as afraid of incidence
as any reformed inebriate was ever
afraid of the wine cup. He knows that
one glass would fling him into inebria-
cy, and if | should take one good, long
pull at nothing to do. | fear that |
should stop forever. Young man, just
starting life, | give you my solemn
testimony that nothing is accomplished
without hard work; continues, ever
lasting wOrk.-7dimdge.

Riot at Beaver Dam.

The negro hands Ofa construction
train on the G. o. x s. w. railway
having just received their pay got off
at Beaver Dam, inhibited ardent spirits
freely, and became obstreperous, saul
cling every body they met. One Ofthem,
Cox by name, and a Beaver Dam darky,
becoming engaged in an alteration,
were approached by Marshal Blanken-
ship who desired 10 qnell tine fuss. Cox
told him to stop and not come further,
with maneuvre as iftO draw a pistol.
The marshal supecting trouble retired
and armed himself for the purpose of
arresting Cox. When he reappeared,
the offender had retreated to the board
ing-car which he and the others barri-
caded. The marshal i'm company with
the train boss went to the car and
demanded the fugitive, whereat three
or four of the barricaders jumped out
and showed fight. The marshal with
drew a short distance and signalled to a
posse, of whom our sheriff was one, he
had in waiting, and they then proceed
ed to carry the war into Africa. They
surrounded the fortified car aud threat
ened to lombard or burn it down if the
violators ofthe law didn't give up. The
besieged recognized their situation and
complied. No one was hurt in the row
save Taylor Mines negro who was hit
on the head by stray Missile from one
of the rioters. AS it turned out, nothing
serious happened, but the time was
very ripe for wholesale slaughter; the
least hostile demonstration on the part
of the boarding-car occupants would
have provokedit. The principals of the
disturbance, Shed Cox, Chas. Galloway,
and John Alexander, were arraigned

The Rosa Belle Safe:

There has been considerable anxiety,
bordering upon gloom, i'm regard to the
fate of the Rosa Belle. With a full
crew and colors flying she left Liver
more for this port, and for days after
she was due here, no tidings either good
or i'll could be had. 1t was feared that
she was in the frigid regions between
here and Livermore, and that the
officers and crew were undergoing all the
hardships and subjected to all the hor-
rors of the Greeley expedition. 1t was
known that the supply of sealskin was
not sufficient to keep the crew in soup,
and it was feared cannibalism would be
resorted to. The telegraph and tele
phone were resOrted to, but no news
could he had of the lost ones. In the
last extremity, the grapevine line was
resorted to and the comfortin, informa-
ton received that the vessel and crew
were all safe. The boat is high if not
dry in the ice, and the officers aud all
hands are on-hunting with good sue
cess. AT last accounts good supply OF
coons had been bagged and there is now
no danger of starvation. The boat will
be in port in due time after the thaw
sets in.
