The sociable given by the Mankato
Masonic lodge last night was one OF the
pleasantest events of the kind that has
occurred for long time. The attend
ance was large, number being present
from Blue Earth CITY, st. Peter, Maple
ton, etc. The literary exercises consist
ed mostly of music, with few recita-
tons Interspersed. Those who assisted
in rendering the evening pleasant with
music were Mrs. Geo. Fox, Misses Allie
and Nellie Andrews, Minorah thinner
man, Annie Vranizan and Flora Wise,
Mr.. and Mrs. c. ID. Benach, and Mr.. p.
l.. VranIzan. Misses Sue Gleason and
Minorah Zimmerman gave recitations.
All the parts We're excellently rendered,
and all participating covered themselves
with honor. Judge Keister, of Blue
Earth City, Grand Master of the grand
lodge of the state, gave pleasant and
highly interesting address, appropriate
to such an occasion. A fine banquet re-
ceiyed ample justice at the hands of the
company. 1t was generally considered
to be about the incest entertainment the
lodge has ever given.

The meat inspection law seems to be
capable Of easy evasion. One day this
week Mankato butcher had an animal
inspected by the city inspector, who re-
fused him a certificate on account of the
animals condition. The butcher took
the animal to an adjoining township and
there had it inspected and butchered,
and brought it back with certificate
testifying that the meat was perfectly
healthy. If this can be done there is no
telling where the line can be drawn, and
a condemned animal can be taken to ev-
cry inspector in the state until one is
found who, for the fee, will testify that
the animal is fit for human food. There
should be some recourse to prevent this,
or the law will be farce.

BESSEMER LIFE.

K. S. Markstrum correspondent
for the Wausau Torch gives the
following account Of how Christ
mas Day was celebrated in that
city. Read it:
Well this is Christmas time and
not being religeously inclined,
what observations are made must
touch more realistic affairs. In a
business sense, Christmas is
unquestionably a good thing, for
it makes many an old miser loosen
his purse strings to keep up
appearances, at least. II this
mining country where nearly all
nationalities are represented, the
faxen-haired Finlander from the
extreme north-land of Europe, the
Cornish and Irishman, the Swede,
Polander, Hungarian and Italian,
each one celebrates Christmas in
his own way-which, in the ma
jority of cases seems to harmon
ize on the one item of getting
royalty drunk. People in the
lower country know comparatively
little about drinking and carous-
ing, here is where that science is
improved to fine art. 1t is no
eXaggeration to say that of 1000
men employed in the Colby and
other mines tributary to Bessemer,
everyone Of them on an average
has spent in the last three days
SIS, or SIS 900 distributed among
the twenty saloons of the place
Such existing conditions tempt
anybody to enter the business; in
fact, so long as men are found who
persist in thus fooliskly wasting
their hard earnings, it is useless to
talk about prohibiting the traffic.
But though not without faults, the
typical miner is after all grand
specimen of manhood. Courage
Gus, liberal and honest, he is a
true friend and good customer.
When times are good, he feels
himself the equal of king, and
never cares for expense. The
millions he takes from the bowels
of mother earth go to enrich
others; enough to eat and plenty
to drink is about all he gets as
his share

bogus butter manufacturers. In

rights should be encouraged.

A JOURNAL FOR THE FARMER

The Western Rural, published
at Chicago by Milton George, a
practical Western farmer, is the
largest farm, family and reform
journal published in the United
States. 1t has prohciently edited
departments for every branch of
farming, and is a faithful record
of every step Of progress that is
being made in agriculture. 1t
INDUCES in no theories, but deals
only in plain, practical facts and
methods that will aid the farmer
in making the farm more
profitable. A large part of its
matter is composed of practical
questions asked by farmers and
answered by practical men. 1t
answers all questions and pre-
scribes for sick animals, free of
charge. 1t exposes all swindlers
who seek to prey upon the farm
ing community, and admits to its
advertising columns none but
reliable advertisements. For
thirteen years it has been the
unfinching champion of the
| farmer in his conflict with the
rings and monopolies that have
been robbing him. 1t started the
Farmers Alliance and is the
friend of all organizations that are
for the farming community. 1t
was the first journal to agitate the
question of government supervis

THE INAUGURATION BALL.

Some OF the clergy, IN various
parts of the country, are opening
a campaign against the Inaugural
ton ball. They regard dancing
as sinful, and hold that Gen. Har-
rison, who is a church member,
cannot properly lend any support
to such a custom.
Gen. Harrison is no doubt a
good man, but it is assuming a
great deal to assert that he is a
better man than George Washing
ton, or John Quincy Adams, or
some other of his predecessors.
George Washington not only at
tended the Inauguration ball, but
tradition says that he took an
active part in the dancing. Such
an entertainment has, from the
beginning of the government,
been customary at the national
capital on the eve after a new
presidents inauguration. 1t has
only been omitted when the cir
cumstances were exceptional, as
when Mr.. Arthur succeeded Presi-
dent Garfield.
The ball is not given by the
president, but by the people of
Washington. The first president
is reported to have remained till
the close, and hardly MISSED a
dance, but his. successors have
either merely appeared early in
the evening to open the dancing,
or to hold a short reception. Gen.
Harrison will doubtless do no
more, and can hardly do less.
The manners and customs of our
people have not grown more puri-
tanical during the past hundred
years, and it will prove a difficult
task to create "a rigidity of moral
sentiment on the subject of dane
ing which did not exist in a gener-
alton that lived a hundred years
nearer the date of the landing OF
the Pilgrims than we do.
The President of the United
States cannot avoid paying some
regard to established usages. He
is not chosen to promote a new
code of morals, but to execute the
law enacted by the representatives
Of the people. Only when the
people elect crank to occupy the
White house shall we have a pres
ident who will attempt to carry
into practice the ideas of small
bodies of sectaries or reformers.
If there are good men who think
dancing sinful there are just as
good men who hold the opposite
opinion. 1t is an amusement that
has been practiced from immemor-
ial time in all nations, and is likely
to continue to be practiced wheth-
er or not a president frowns on it.
But Gen. Harrison, who is a very
sensible, level-headed man, accord
ing to all indications, is not likely
to attempt any sudden and violent
departures from the established
social usages of the country.

MACDONALD.

1t is quite possible to come
suddenly upon Easter, or for
Whitsuntide to steal down upon
us unawares, but such special
seasons as Christmas and the New
Year don't admit of any tri1ing.
No sensible person delays until the
last moment the arrangement of
or her gift-programme. And so,
as most Wisconsinites are sensible
we're daily receiving immense
quantities of orders. Gifts are
pleasurable things either to donate
or to receive, any time: but they're
doubly acceptable on Christmas or
New Years Days. They assure
US of the fortifying aid of love and
friendship. And as gifts are sym
bols of those feelings of esteem
and tenderness and affection which
do most honor to human nature,
the custom of bestowing them
lIluol lOiCfCI lSi1ldlll DCd ullIul
one; and that the Day Of the
Nativity, or the first day of a new
year should be selected for the
bestowal of such offerings, adds
as we've said) very materially to
the warmth of their welcome.
Before we make another an
nouncement in this paper Christ
mas will have passed; and we shall
have entered upon 1880. Our
hearty wish to all readers of these
lines is that it may be their lot to
