JIM FISK'S DOOR BOY.
Who Bounced John Morrissey Once, An
pointed Paymaster of the Erie.



IN. Y. Sun.l
Peter Donoghue has been made assistant
paymasser OF the New York, Lake Erie &
Western Railroad Company In place of
Fred Wright resigned. When Colonel
Fisk was at the head OF the Erie, Peter
was his messenger and door boy. One day
Peter had instructions from Fisk to let no
one IN to see him. During the day big.
determined looking man called and asked,
in peculiar falsetto voice, to see Colonel
Fisk Peter told the man that the Colonel
could not be seen. The visitor said 1t was
highly important and necessary that he
should have Fisk's ear for few minutes.
Peter stood firm to his declaration that no
one could see the boss of Erie. The man
persisted, and seeing that the youthful
guardian of Primes Erie's door was not to
be changed in his determination, put the
boy impatiently aside and said:
"Here, boy; am John Morrissey, and
must see Colonel Fisk"
He then pushed by and passed toward
the door. But Peter Donoghue wasn't
there to be used that way.
81 don't care if you are John Morrisseyr,
he exclaimed, as the broad back OF the
famous ex-priEe-fghting Congressman
loomed in front Of him; "you can't go in
therew
With these words Peter jumped forward,
and, with a spring like cat, lit square on
Morr issey's back. He climbed up it like a
squirrel, threw both arms around the Con-
gressman's neck, and hung on for dear
life, shutting of Morrissey's wind and
fetching him up with turn. Morrissey
shook the boy OF with difficulty, and at
first seemed inclined 10 pulverize him, but
as he looked down at the pugnacious little
fellow, standing in determined attitude
between him aud Colonel Fisk's door, the
humor OF the situation struck him, and he
burst out laughing.
"An right; have It your own way. III
call again Tomorrow" said he, and he
walked out OF the ofRce. He had been gone
but q few minutes when Fisk called Peter,
and told him to let John Norrissey In IL he
called.
~He's been here, !" said Peter.
"Where is hey'' asked Fisk
"Wel, he was bound to come in against
orders, a7d put him out, !" said Peter.
Aorrisssy told Fisk the story OF his en-.
counter with the dOor-boy next day, and
several hotties OF wine were ordered on the
strength OF it.

Our Copper Creek Farmers.

The farms on the Copper Creek
road. some eight miles from town, are
making about as good progress as any
in the county The one most advanc-
ed is owned by Herman Dopp, who
was the pioneer in that section, hay-
ing taken up homestead four wears
aga. He has 80 acres cleared, a good
log house, lathed and plastered, a
large barn, a span of horses several
head Of cattle, etc. Next is Charles
kunert who has also a good house
and barn and several acres cleared.
He and the old lady seem to be as
happy as can be ont there. Then there
is Henry Ginter with his large fami-
" of children, and Henry Cruiser and
Julius Ertel who have no family; also
Messrs. Wolf and Kiesel and Louis
Fatz, all of whom took land last
spring. Their progress in one season
has been really remarkable, having
each cleared from ten To fifteen acres
built houses fences etc, and raised
considerable Of a crop, besides doing Il
lot Of road work for the town. Halt Il
mile beyond the above namei settlers
is Fred S,huster who has also a com
Portable log house into which his fam
lily will move in few DAYS. Fred is
blowing several acres, and means TO
make his home on the land, which, by
the way, was the gift Of the old gen
tleman, his father, who made him a
deed Of it, and who spends most of
his time out there at present pulling
stumps, and clearing land, giving us
he expresses it, his son Freddy a
good start.
Across the road from Mr.. Schuster's
Is the homestead of John Walker,
mine host Of the Commercial Hotel,
who alternates his time between there
and his caravansary, keeping always
several men at work on the farm. Mr..
Walker has Il good house, and Il clear
ing OF some 10 acres which he Is break
ing this fall. Just beyond Walkers
is John Lundgrcn, the man who ran
the Peterson-Wright farm for time,
who is making hole in the woods in
which potatoes and kindred crops will
crop out next year.
As these names Indicate the most of
the settlers in the neighborhood de-
scribed are Germans. They have all
the thrift of their countrymen, and in
4 few years the traveller Will iud them
with the finest farms in the county.
The soil out there Is clay with perhaps
a tribe more sandy loan than here in
town Much of the timber having
been pretty thoroughly fire-kiIled and
burned the land is quite easily cleared
The land is cheap out there, several
tracts being yet subject to homestead
and presumption, and much Of it is
offered by owners to settlers who will
clear and cultivate on shares. 1t is
a locality that ought to ill up with
settlers rapidly.

Mr.. j. :. Richie takes exec

Mr.. J. S. Richie takes excep-
ton to our remarks about Ritchie's
Corners, and more particularly to that
part which states that the officials of
the Omaha and n. p. roads carefully
examined the lay of the land for the
purpose Of securing a strip of ground
500 feet wide and 1000 feet long.
Mr.. Il. evidently does not wish to
see or hear from the Omaha and \. p.
officials or Genl. Hammond, Mr. Hill
and the st. Paul q Duluth officials,
and he has erected a barbed wire
fence to keep them ut good distance.
He says however if the County au-
thorities wish to remove the Court
House and other County Buildings to
the Richie Five Corners, then, and in
that event he would be happy to do
nate to the dear public, an ample site
for Il handsome stone or brick Court
House and suitable grounds.

cent, full length, steel engraving of
General Grant. 1t is after Anderson 5
celebrated photograph, which was
made while the general was still in full
vigor, and represents him in his sturdy,
manly strength, as the people wish to
remember him. 1t is, undoubtedly, the
best portrait ever made Of the general.

new publiacations. and offer induce
ments that should be needed by those
in need Of profitable work, those who

The prospect for better times with
the opening of spring has not been 50
good for a year as at the present
time, and even this winter the times
are not going to be near so close as
was anticipated month ago. The
railroad companies are all putting
their respective roads in good repair.
the woods will be full Of lumbermen
and teams, all the towns along the
various lines Of roads are pushing
ahead local improvements, and all
who desire work can get it at fair
wages and the wages will no doubt be
much better with the opening Of the
spring campaign. All in all the fu
turo looks bright aud promising for
the northwest country.

The %espinosilla, or thorn plant, a V
Marchial rope a, n we'll known Mexi-
can naturalist. is native to Me leo, and
anounds in various parts of the repub-
lies, principally near this capital, at San
Angel, Te coco, Santa re, etc. 1t IS
one of those beautiful wild plants which
adorn the plains of Mexico, and is
found particularly in cold, dry spots.
II has been thus christened because on
touching it a sensation is felt similar to
that which q plant covered with thorns
would produce.
The Altecs lacking soap-so necessary
to their health and happiness-found its
substitute in the espinosilla. They agi-
tated a bough in water and it
produced n lather, with which
they washed, using the plant as
a crub-brush. Even to-day it
is used by women as a hair preserva-
tive, having extraordinary powers in
that direction. But its most useful APP
plication is as a medicinal agent 10
fight feyers a 1t is an excellent dia
phoretie.
Its ancient name is beautiful. Holt
%itzilsochitl, a compound word. Holtz-
it il - humming- bird, and xochitl,
flower TINS translated being flower Of
the humming bird.
1t is a perennial plant, of variable
height, but never more than three feet
in height; of a pivotal root, rather
te ible, of white surface, corrugated,
from which spring secondary roots
thin and separated.
In general the plant is rough and
thorny, more so as its age increases.
The taste is bitter, especially of the
leaves, but the root has two tastes
whey first tasted being sweet, after
which II is bitter.
