"A Long Halt Hour" 'srhe Passway Of Peril, q,
and powerfully interesting novelet by Mira.

Of "Josiah Aliens Wife," also contributes the

anxiousy awaited. We cannot recommend
this magazine too highly. It seems, to us, to
fill all tho requirements Of lady's book, and
at price that places it within the reach Of all,
viz: two dollars year for single copy, with
great reduction to clubs; it is by all odds the
cheapest and best. Spesimsn copies are sent
gratis, il written for, to those really wishing

Our ship Has Come Home.
The safe arrival at Tacoma Of the bark tsa-
bel, laden with cargo Of tea from Yokohama,
Japan, consigned 10 st. Paul by way of the
Nerthsrn Pacific, marks All important epocl, in
tho commercial history of this city. 1t intro
duces st. Paul as a competitor for a valuable
trade, and Is the beginning Of an era which
establishes this city as the tea emporium of the
Northwest, including all the country west of
Detroit to the Pacific coast. 1t brings the
Northern Pacific forward as formidable COM
petiter with the Union and Central Pacific
lines for the trade of the Orient and the Occi-
dent. 1t is an additional evidence Of the en-.
terprise of our jebbers In all respects the ar
rival Of the Isabel is an event OF incalcuabIe
Importance to st. Paul, and is suggestive of the
wonderful possibilities which lie in the path
way Of our commercial interests. There is
only ono matter Of regret connected with the
event. The bark Isabel, which is our pioneer
Of 4 new commerce, sailed into an American
port under foreign flag. III this hour OF our
| congratulation, how much more our hearts
would have exulted il the announcemelittt--;,. ~.
been mad: that the ship which came laden
with the first cargo of cur future commercial
wealth had come into port with the stars and
stripes nailed to her nlast?--St. Paul Globe.

pounds each, az pounds in all. Tho parents
are Scotch, coming from Flfeshire TO this place
three years ago, when thoy obtained helne-
stead, upon which they are now living. They
have five children previous to tho quartettc,
one of which il Dakota born. I call your at.
tenion to this case, a., in the old country sucll
events receive official recognition, and as 1t To-
the first Of tho kind occurring In the territory
It might net he alniss to take notice Of it,
Please pardon this intrusion; I mean 1t simply
pro bono puLlic0. Yours truly, ~
