COLUMBUS LETTER.
Special correspondence Of the NoRTHwEsr.l
COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 2lts, 1873.

,., COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 2lts, '8S.
Nature Joined hands this year with
the farmer of the Northwest Territory
| to prepare for the Ohio Centennial Ex-
! position, the most magnificent horticul-
tural exhibit that was ever made. Ohio
is prominently an agricultural State
and it is proper that large part of the
Exposition, representative of its pro-
gress and wealth, should be devoted to
the farm industries. This, the mana
gers of the Exposition, some of whom
are farmers, have recognized, ard to
the departments of Horticulture, horti-
culture and agriculture have assigned
one of the most enormous buildings
ever erected in Ohio. 1t is built in the
form of a Chinese kite and extends in
each direction $40 feet, or One-tenth of
mile. It's length and breadth are SO
great that its height seems lnconsider-
able, vet good sized tree was allowed
to stand in the building and does not
touch the ceiling.
The west wing of this monster struct-
ure is devoted to the most magnificent
exhibition of fruit ever made. Four
platforms extend from end to end,
covered with fruits, arranged on all
kinds of fancy tables and stands. The
| individual exhibits occupy the two
middle platforms, while the county
displays are arranged along the walls
There are about 500 individual exhibits
and seventeen counties have already
made displays and intend to compete
for the prizes offered by the Centennial
Board for the best county displays of
fruits. Some idea of the magnitude
and extent of the exhibit may be gained
when it is known that of apples alone
500 varieties are shown, and of all
| varieties. AS the fruits and grapes de-
cay, they are renewed, and as the early
varieties die out, they are replaced by
the later fruits, and, therefore, there is
always fine display.
There will be several competitions
among the counties, and it is likely
that, by the time all of the competi-
tions have closed, most of the counties
will have carried away honors.
At the first competitor the counties
of southern Ohio and those growing
grapes and early fruits had the advant-
age. Clarke took first prize and Lake
county second, each excelling in grapes
and having a fine general exhibit
Muskingum, with the finest exhibit of
apples on the grounds, having 2l0 dis
tinct varieties, free from specks, besides
fine collections of plums, pears and
peaches, swelling the number of varie-
ties to more than 300, took third prize;
while Ross county took fourth pre-
MUM.
Muskingum county's exhibit, under
charge of s. r. Moore, occupies the
position next the Commissioners Office,
and next to it is the Morgan county
collection, spread out upon tables,
pyramids and stands. The collection,
which isin charge of r. r. Swayne and
Captain ,Adair, of McConnelsville,
includes good displays Of peaches and
pears. the finest exhibit of quinces or

RAILROAD SURVEY.

Sturgis To Be the Starting Point--A Line
Being Located to Bald Mountain.
A few weeks since Mr.. J. w. Andrews
quietly dropped into Sturgis and an
nounced that he came among us to sell
Wyoming coal, but no one believed that
was his real motive in locating here, and
his movements were closely observed.
Mr.. Andrews prominent connection
for years with the F., e. & M. v. road,
as locating engineer, gave cause for be-
lief that he was stationed here in the in
terest of some railway corporation, al
though it was known that he had not
been in the employ Of the Elkhorn line
for some time past. Ten or fifteen days
after Mr.. Andrews arrived in Sturgis, L..
G. johnson came in with his chief engi-
neer over the projected line to the Hills
from Mandan, and secured his services,
but it is known that Mr.. Andrews did lit
tie, if any, work for Johnson's company.
One day last week matters assumed an
entire different shape, which look exceed
ingly favorable for the completion of a
road from Sturgis to the interior of the
Hills. Mr.. Andrews received instruc-
tions from source unknown to the pub
lie to organize surveying party and
begin work at this point locate line
to Bald mountain via Galena, and in ac-
cordance with these instructions Mr.. An
drews commenced work Monday morn
ing, the money to pay for the survey be-
ing on deposit in the First National bank
of Sturgis.
While Mr.. Andrews is very positive
the road will be built at an early day, he
is quite reticent as the company backing
the enterprise. 1t is his opinion that
this is the most practical route to reach
all the paying mining camps, and as his
belief is largely formed from actual OBJ
servations, and being man of excellent
judgment, this survey has much signifi-
canoe for the city of Sturgis, the Key
City of the Black Hills.

From sturgis.

From a gentleman engaged in bust
ness in the aboye-named city we have
learned that from business standpoint
this enterprising town has changed won
derfully for the better within the past
month. The new arrangement of paying
off the troops at Ft. Meade, monthly, has
proven great benefit to the town in
every way. The gentleman further says
that the present quartermaster, although
at first disliked, has proven himself to
be sold business personifsd." After
contractors deliver their goods to him
their vouchers are forthcoming immedi-
ately, no long line of red-tape being
gone through with as formerly. Vouch-
ers on the wood and hay contracts are
coming in rapidly and everybody seems
to have money.
The city bonds have been sold in Chi
cago, and the subscriptions advanced by
the citizens of the city for purchase Of
fire apparatus have been refunded, The
bank is doing more business than at any
time in the past, and all business men
have great confidence in the future. The
gentleman interviewed. claims that a
great deal of money is being brought
into the country through the shipment
of such large quantities Of cattle to the
eastern markets. He speaks highly OF
the present and future of Sturgis. and is
confident that it's present prosperity has
come to stay, consumation that none
can more cordially welcome than does
the Pioneer. Pioneer.

prising citizen, but it is his misfortune
that he was member Of the territorial
legislature from this district in 1881, at
which session he supported several meas
ures, in the interest of monopolies, that
became laws, viz: the act exempting the
counties of the Black Hills from the
herd law, passed to the detriment of set
tiers; the act allowing banks and other
moneyed corporations Of the Hills to
charge any rate OF interest they desired,
abolishing the usury clause in this dis
trict; also the passage Of the act allow
ing Judge Moody extra salary while on
the bench. While Kals's, sheep herder
is bowling through the Tilford Times
about the financial condition of Law
renee county, it will be observed that he
is deathly silent in regard to Mr.. Hale's
Legislative experience. Porter Warner
was member Of the same Legislature,
hence the silence of the Deadwood
Times; and from the fact several stock
holders in the Pioneer have reaped some
of the benefits from these special acts
that sheet has nothing to say against the
democratic nominee. Another newspap-
per in Lawrence county is also in posi-
ton that it cannot work squarely against
Hale.

Word came to The Journal last night
of crime which for vindictiye cruelty
surpasses anything ever recorded in this
county. 1t is the poisoning of thirty
head of fine COWS belonging to Martin of
Palmer's gulch. That the animals were
poisoned those who saw them have the
least doubt. While no positive evidence
has perhaps been found to connect any
one with the crime, a feud OF long
standing is generally considered to have
furnished the motiye.-Journal, 1st..

Jack Hale's sheep herder is too young
in Black Hills politics to know much
about the past history of this county.
The charges he makes that the republi-

is, and every Intelligent taxpayer in the
county knows it, during the past four

Garments OF enc EsI.lmo.

The Eskimo costume consists in sum
mer of sealskins, and in winter of reindeer
skins, the latter being always worn in
duplicate, one set with the fur next the
body, the other with the fur outside, an
arrangement that is even better than the
famous one of Brian O'Lynn, who, ac-
cording to the old song, having no breeches
to wear, got him a sheepskin to make him
a pair, and then

He was fine and warm was Brian OLynn.
The pattern of their garments varies not
a whit from generation to generation. The
coat, which does not button but is hauled
on over the head, has a large capuchin, in
Eskimo language, "amook, - at tho back
of the neck. The only difference between
the coats of the men and the women lies
in the latter being graced with tail, both
store and aft" SO to speak, upon which
the feminine fondness for ornamentation
is INDUCED to the full extent of the
wearer's means, SO that they may be seen
adorned with numerous rows of beads and
bits of brass or copper, such things as the

instance. A very popular form of decora-
tion consists of tablespoons. which they
break in two and arrange in various de-
vices, grouping the handles in one place
and the bowls in another.-J Macdonald

Made Productive by Irrigation.

A young New Englander, who went out
to Colorado a few years ago to engage in
cultivating the soil, remarked here the
other day that it was for long time in
comprehensive to him that what was ap-
parently the most barren and sterile land
in that country became the most pro-
ductive by irrigation. 1T was only by
hard study and investigation, y said he,
s'that at last became satisfied as to the
process of nature by which this result was
brought about. Farms taken up in the
sage brush looked unpromising enough,
but with watering became immensely pro-
ductive. The soil was full of alkali. The
action of the water was to decompose il
and convert it into a fertilizer. 1t was
literally Presto change and almost in
a night the result was effected. Such land
continues productive right along, if prop
erly cultivated, and yields in rotation
crops of oats, barley, potatoes, wheat,
grass and vegetables the same as else
where. 1t is for reclaiming these waste
lands that immense irrigating canals have
been built, one Of them nearly 100 miles
long, to bring the water down from the
mountains New York Tribune.

Servants Tricks in Persia.

The crafts and wiles of the servants are
endless and sometimes exceedingly origi-
nal. One of their most common tricks
for obtaining leave of absence is to put on
n long face and represent the death of
wife, brother or child One of my
servants in this way lost his favorite wife,
his father, and his darling lite boy,
chubby, rosy checked child, who had ap-
peared once or twice at the legation. On
the latter occasion, with eyes suffused
with tears, the mourning father requested
leave to tarry at the bedside of his sick
boy; then came news of the death and
permission could not be justly withheld
for the funeral ceremonies lasting two
days. My sympathy in these distressing
circumstances was 0bout to take the form
of pishkesh, when was informed by
another servant who had n grudge
against this one that neither wife
nor child were dead, but very much
alive and in very healthy condition; and
furthermore that the father had, during
his absence, been earning a fine present,
while drawing wages from me, as assist
ant at a great entertainment given by
high dignitary. Having fully ascertained
the truth of this statement, felt my sym
pathy could best find expression by Civ
ing the fellow a summary dismissal. But
this form of deception was so common
as at last to become somewhat ''stale,
fiat and improbable. IS G. w. Ben
