NOW Grocery EOuse.

Our reporter in making his rounds
and noting spring improvements al
ready under way, was agreeably sur
prised to find the building on Second
street and Thompson svenue, 1.-THE late
Walker House,, transformed into one
of the finest grocery and provision
stores at the head Of the lake. The
owner, j. c. Seaman, Esq, late of Du-
luth, isa new arrival, but he is making
his presence felt in no uncertain way.
We hope his example viii stimulate
our old settlers to little more activi-
ty for the benefit of our newly organ
lied city, and that they will Show their
appreciation Of new corners who are
not afraid TO invest at the East End
by liberal share of their patronage.
We are credibly informed that Mr..
Seaman has ordered large and choice
stock Of groceries and general supplies,
which VIII give our citizens an oppor-
tunity to benefit by the competition
which every new grocery creates.

election of Col. Hiram Hayes, his thus
far successful opponent for the office
Of Supervisor in the second ward. The

LlkCOUN'S LEG CASES.
How the President Schemed to Save tn,
Lives OF Misguided soldiers.

No man clothed with such vast
power as President Lincoln ever WELD
ed it more tenderly and more forbear-
ingly. No man holding in his hands
the key Of life and death ever pardon
ed so many offenders and so easily.
There We're from time to time, of
course, instances of cowardice in the
army in the face of the enemy-a
crime justly punishable by the laws of
war throughout the world with death.
In the earlier years of the war all the
death penalties of court-martial had to
be sent to the president. rs comman-
der-in-chief, for his app. wal. When
Judge Holt, the udge-advocat ate-gener-
al of the army. laid the first ease be-
fore the president and explained it. he
replied: well. | will keep this few
days until have more time to read the
testimony" That seemed quite reason
able. When the judge explained the
next case Mr. Lincoln said: Il must
put this by until l can settle in my
mind whether this soldier can better
serve the country dead than living"
To the third he answered.: The gem
eral commanding the brigade is to be
here in a few days to consult with
Stanton and myself about military
matters; will wait until then aud
talk the matter over with him."
Finally, there was fagrant case of
4 soldier who, in the crisis of battle.
demoralized his regiment by his cow
ardice. throwing down his gun and
hiding behind the friendly stump.
When tried for his cowardice there vas
no defense. The court-martial in ex-
amiuiug his antecedents found that he
had neither father nor mother living,
nor wife nor child; that he was unfit
10 wear the loyal uniform. and that he
was thief who stole continually from
his comrades Here said Judge
Holt. us case that comes exactly
within your requirements. He does
not deny his guilt; lie will better serve
the country dead than living. as he
has NO relations to mourn for him. and
he is not tit To be in the ranks of pa
triots. at any rate" Mr.. Lincoln's

One of the public characters Of

The Story OF Tiny Tim.

In the ''Christmas Carol" Mr.. Web
ster provided a real goose and a real
plum pudding, which were served
smoking hot for Mrs. Cratchit and Ihe
seven little CratchtS, of course includ-
ing Tiny Tim. The children always
had enormous portions given them and
all ate heartily every night; but what
really troubled me was the conduct Of
the little girl who PLAYED Tiny Tim.
The child : appetite appalled, me.
could not help noticing the eNlraor-
binary rapidity with which she con-
sumcd what | gave her. and she looked
SO wan and thin and so pitiful that
her face used positively to haunt me.
We watched a> we'll as we could, and
the moment Tiny Tim was seated and
began to eat. we observed Il curious
shutliInT movement at tue stage fire
place. aud everything that ! had given
her-Toose and potatoes and apple
saucc-d sappcared behind the sham
stove. the child pretending to eat as
hearty aS ever from the empty plate.
When the performance was over Mrs.
Mellon and myself asked the little girl
what became of the food she did not
eat. and, after little hesitation.
frightened lest she should get into
trouble. she confessed that her little
sister I should mention that they
were the children of one of the scene-
shifters) waited on the other side of
the stage fireplace for the supplies,
and that the whole family enjoyed u

The Largest Wheat Farm.

The Grandin wheat farm in Dakota
comprises about 10000 acres, Of
which $4,000 are under cultivation, H.
600 acres being sown to wheat. There
used are on the farm forty-five gang
plows, two plows in gang, each cutting
fourteen to fifteen inches. There are
forty-tivs gang-harrows. These are
six feet square, but are arranged to-
gether side by side to work twenty-four
feet wide. One long evener draws the
four with pair of mules near each
end. One man drives both teams
The advantage of this system is worthy
of notice by other farmers. 1t reduces
the number Of men usually. required
by one-half. There are forty-four
broadcast sewers. sowing eight feet
each. aud one man drives both spans,
another saving of half the man force.
There are sixty-five self-binding har-
vesters employed ON the place. Mod
ern improvements have SO perfected
these that one expert is required for
the whole. especially since the exper-
fenced workmen on the machine are
kept from year to year. and they are
able to attend to any little repairs.
mules, and one and oue-half to two
from each machine. The thrashers, of
which there are six, are quite extern
sive affairs compared with those of
former times or with those of the fails
or the animals on the thrashing floor
of our boyhood. Each one of these
machines, driven. by steam power,
thrashes out from 1900 to 1000 BUSH
els day. They are set down in tho
center Of q hundred acres Of shocks
and when these are thrashed are NOV
ed to the center of another hundred
acres. The working force OR a single
thrasher forms quite a little army.
Thus there is, first, the general SUPER
intendent. eight bundle teams to haul
the shocks, with eight drivers and
eight other men. part in the field and
part at the machine as pitchers and
unloaders. At the machine two men
are required simply to cut the band.
There are three feeders. two at work
and an alternate. Then there are the
engineer. the fireman. the Waterman,
the ''straw -bucker." who with two
mules and pole removes the straw
accommodating befure the machine, \
barn man to care for the ANIMALS. and
the cook and his assistant. The wheat
is received into wooden tanks holding
one hundred bushels each, and four
men with four wagons drawn, by four
mules each. one tank wagon ut the
machine and three on the road, take
the wheat to the elevators, This saves
bags and bagging. 1t will thus bs
seen that there is force of thirty men
to run single machine.
