Pioneer Press. 1t is now clear that
the extraordinary growth of the
cities of st. Paul and Minneapolis
would cause them to be chief gamers
by new apportionment, should such
be made. Their increased representa-
ton in the Legislature would absorb
most of the extra memberships crea-
ted by less rapid increase in the south
Ramsey and Hennepin, with st. Louis
and Otter Tail in lesser measure, and
perhaps some of the northwestern
counties not yet returned, would be
the only gamers. The remainder of
the districts would either retain their
former number of representatives or
forfeit one or more each, and would
thus be losers, absolutely or relatively
or both. The population of Minneso-
ia now exceeds 100000 somewhat,
but Just how much cannot be told.
The census gives st. Paul and Mime
apolis combined population of over
740,0 900, or nearly one-fourth of. the
whole. 1t gives the counties of Ram
sey and Hennepin together 1884, 1854, OF
probably about one-fourth of the
whole. AS these counties, with Anoha
and Isanti added, now have but twenty
six senators and representatives out
of a total of $50, 1T is clear at n glance
where the chief advantage OF neW
apportiOnment would lie.

The huge city dailies are being paid
for advertising the State Fai" while
the rural press ofthe state, in response
to numerous requests from the officers
of the State Agricultural Society, are
doing equally valuable work gra-
tuitously. This is not unusual but is
nevertheless unfair. These country
publishers, however, are a magnani-
NOUS lot and are ever willing to work
with empty pockets and without hope
future remuneration to carry on
any commendable enterprise, never
finding fault, even at seeing their
more wealthy city brethren adding to
their plethoric bank accounts for the
same services.
The Nineteenth Annual meeting of
the Minnesota Press Association, re-
Gently held in this city, was the most
successful in point of attendance and
in the interest manifested, of any
which has ever been held in the state.
The attendance was very large, COM
prising representatives from most OF
the newspapers throughout the state,
and the papers read at the meeting
evinced great deal of thought in
their preparation, and were above the
average of productions usually pro-
duced OIL like occasions. Those who
look upon the conductors of our coun-
try press as men of mediocre ability
entirely misjudge them, and the only
wonder to us is, that men of such fine
abilities as many of them undoubtedly
possess, can be content to plod along
in such circumscribed fields of labor
In thus writing we are not giving our
country friends "taffy," nor attempt
ing to unduly puff them up, but are
simply giving expressions to the inn
pressions made upon us while listen
ing to the discussions upon the various
topics which came before the meeting
The prosperity of Minnesota is due
largely to these men, who are giving
their time and talents to her develop
ment, and receiving such inadequate
remuneration in return.-St.P Paul

writers for our city press, upon this topic,
would make the necessary distinctions
they would be more clearly understood.
Surface water drainage, subsoil drainage,
and sewerage proper, are all spoken Of in
discriminatory as one and the same thing,
under the name of sewerage.
The little tunnels at the crossings of
some of our streets, the one from Bridge
street down Main to Swan creek, the one
from the middle of Ferry to the creek
are all instances of surface water drain
age.
Subsoil drainage is intended to remove
the water from naturally wet land, and in
the streets of city to be effective, 1t must
be laid deep enough to be below all cellar
bottoms, the walls laid without mortar,
so as to drain the water away from the
houses and into the .'sewer," at every
point throughout its length. The depth
at which it must be laid makes it costly
work, and IN the greater portion Of our
city it is not needed, and its construction
would be money wasted. Such sewer
up Franklin street would do good service

Big Haul of Sturgeon with Diamonds
and other Precious stones Emboweled.
Saturday last, Jnne 20tb, was the last
day for our fishermen to cast their nets
III the Delaware river, as per the fishing
laws Of our State. Our fishermen usually
fish on shares for their toll; that is to
say, the owner of the fishery and nets
receives ascertain percentage of the fish
caught, aud the balance is divided share
per share with the fishermen. Usually,
the owner of the fishery on the last day
of fishing, delivers up to the fishermen
the boats and nets, and the entire catch
is for their own benefit. SO the last day
for fishing is usually awaited with
great expectation by the fishermen; but
unfortunately Tor perhaps fortunately
for the fishermen at one of our fisheries
on Friday last, when they were entitled
to their share) an immense sturgeon
with much difficulty was caught, weigh
ing near $50 pounds, being the largest
one caught this season. The nets were
soon laid aside and preparations were
made for skinning aud carving up Mr..
Sturgeon. 1t was noticed by one of the
fishermen that there was hard, round
object in its stomach. The knife soon
brought the object to light; which upon
being taken out and washed proved to
be a lady's gold bracelet, which appeared
to be much furnished by its long stay in
the surgeons stomach but stranger
and luckier still for the fisherMen, it was
found to he fairly studded with diamonds
and other precious stones. In the Gen.
tire of the band were beautifully arranged
rosettes of various colors and brilliant
stones, and in the borders were set many
shining and sparkling diamonds. On
the under side the following initials were
made out : "a. d. F. L." which, &c.
eording to their workmanship, appeared
to be either French or Danish. Can it
be that this jewel of probably immense
value, belonged to some fair one who
was shipwrecked in some distant sea,
and the sparkling of these brilliants SO
enraptured this monster fish that it swal-
lowed it for its beauties and safe-keep-
ing, and finally wendell its way from the
ocean up the Delaware, to deliver its
priceless wealth to our fishermen?
The find has been kept quiet by the
fishermen, as it has been sent to Phila-
delphia to ascertain its value. An esti-
mate places It's value from 81 1000 to
$4,000. The flesh of the sturgeon was
readily sold to several of onr citizens, by
tall fisherman, at ten cents per pound,
they little thinking that they were pur-
chasing to eat fish that perhaps
brought the great wealth to our shores
from the far distant sea. The fisherman
soon disposed of his sturgeon, but kept
the big find a secret.
The above has been handed lis by our
special reporter. He tried to furnish
fish large enough, Gas per suggestion of
last week. to swallow the maker of fish
stories. But unfortunately he has also
furnished 'ish story" Nobody is
bound to believe any part of it.
