TT is gratifying to learn by kilograms anu
newspapers from the South but by no
means surprising to those who know any
thing at all of the character of the people Of
that section, that expressions OF regret 'or
the death OF General Grant, aud ofsympathy
for and coincidence with his hereaved family
are as general there as at the North. AS
long standing feuds in family are often
reconciled over the corpse of member
thereof, it is hoped that the evil of The
Generals death may be offset by the good
it may effect in the way of removing the
last of the sectional luminosity that remains
among the people of his country. 10 have

have willingly relinquished his life, and the
country we'll afforded to lose its most lllustri-

1T Is becoming more and more apparent
that the real object the pioprietols OF the
Lordon Pt.ll Mall Gazette bad in view when
thew published their cooked-up, old and vile
hash, concerning the immortality of London,
was to inaame the poor against the rich OF
that CITY, to incite the feeling Of socialism
aud supply the communists with capital IN
order to further the IN Is of the radical wing
OF the liberal party OF England. But, bad
as that object was, it was commendable
when compared with that of the proprietorS
of the American newspapers who reprinted
the filthy and obscene stuff, and who only
sought to make few dollars by the IL
creased sale of their indecent sheets.

my intention of closing my business at Wadena on

to the failure on the part ofothers somewhat con-

for the present. Trusting the people will not
think my course deceptive one: but rather
reverse Of circumstances, which 1hope may not
prove imp leasant as Judging the future by the
past it has been anything else on my part. I
have, therefore, decided to remain in Wadena for
an indefinite time, hoping to be able to please my
patrons with an attempt to satisfy myself in the
execution of work that is without limit My
wish is to produce class of work that will vie
with any In an artistic standpoint. To accomplish
such, will require sacrifice of patience on the
part Of the public to comply with my many re-
quests, the which shall accept with gratitude
There then being nothing lacking except my abil-
ity effect which to fail has been the lot of many
with me it could not be less The reverse, how
ever, would be Of great worth. I shall depend
more on the village than outside to assist me in
this work, as a perfect acquaintance with the
subject is very necessary to obtain the result. A

be effected shall not feel have trespassed upon
the generosity of the people OF Wadena by my
