Those Wonderful spr,nr..

The Pioneer has before mentioned the
over1ewing springs aloug the James
river. Theit mysterious appearance has
aroused much conjecture. but no very sat
isfactory explanation. The Edgeley Mail
says: Apparently the involuntary rise
of water IS not confined to these springs,
for wells hitherto dry, or nearly SO, are
filling up as they have never been known
to do, A we'll at Cottonwood Lake
showed rise of water of twenty to thirty
feet, and a similar case is reported from
the vicinity of Diekey. while in nearly
every well moro or less of rise is no.

day. in q very short time after water was
struck there was about ten feet of water

BY many this rise Of water is taken as
being prophetic Of plenty of moisture

A Cure for Diphtheria.

The following remedy. says the Scien-
tific American, is said to be the best
known. At least it is worth trying, for
physicians seem powerless 10 cope with
the disease successfully. At the first in.
dication of diphtheria in the throat of a
child make the room close then take a
tin cup and pour Into it a quantity of tar
and turpentine, equal parts. Then hold
the cup over the fire so as to FIJI the room
with fumes. The little patient, on inhal.
ing the fumes, will cough up and spit out
all the membraneus matter and the diph-
iberia will pass of. The fumea Of the
tar and turpentine loosen the matter in
the threat, and thus afford the relief that
has bafled the skill Of physicians.

IT seems incredible that the majority of
members of the Legislature should persist
in trying to obtain from the state a large
sum of money for which they never did a
stroke of work. It will be remembered
that Auditor Bray. backed by formal
opinion of the Attorney General, refused
to pay the vouchers of the members of
the legislature for the three weeks they
were not in session. The other day, in
the heuse, Mr.. Selby moved as an amend
ment to pending motion, chat the

That Foolish Law.

An idea Of how prohibition will effect
legitimate interests in this state is seen IN
the rumors about the contemplated closing
Of the best hotels in North Dakota. At
Grand Forks, it is said, the new and ele-
CANT Hotel Dacstah, the pride of the city
and credit to the Northwest, will be
forced to close up on account Of the law.
The same Is reported about the Colu mbia
At Fargo. The loss of revenues to the
Gladstone Hotel in jamestown will be
equivalent to $3.0 900 year in rents and
patronage. jamestown will be fortunate
enough If she sees the Gladstone running
year from now. 1t is said that Col.

would close if he could and not forfeit
his lease, as the hotel IS on the Northern

though, as before stated, my experience
with stock is that they will bend down

has often seemed to me from pure mali
ciousness.
But the point on which was mlsunder.
stood is in regard to the expense of fenc.
ing stock in or out. Perhaps was not
sufficiently explicit in my language; but
the idea I meant to convey was that the
common small farmer and horticulturist,
who usually are only able to keep a com
paratlvely few head of stock, could
cheaper fence those few head in than 10
fence out the large herds or all the
neighborhood stock and the writer be-
lieves that encouraging the small farmer
to dot our vast domain with Industrious
homes will aggregate more wealth to our
new state than in leaving it III the main
TO the cattle kings and the large ranch
men, and my experience teaches me that
tbs two cannot prosper together.
But, on looking over the ground, see
that we view the question from vastly
different standpoints. You represent a
vast belt of land running from east to
west of our whole state, in which every
alternate section is owned by the North.

which for number Of years yet will
probably remain pasture land; and from
that standpoint can easily see advan-

Fire and Water gives an account Of
the recent confagration in BOSTON, which
may be taken as coming from an expert,
and mentions a few interesting points.
1t is curious that the first alarm was
given from the same box from which
was sent out the alarm for the great fire
in 1872. which also began in Kingston
street, then occupied by small dwelling
houses. In just one minute from the
striking of the alarm an engine vas on
the spot, but the flames had burst from
every window in the building. the Brown
Durrell store, before a line of hose could
be laid. In a few moments fourteen
more engines had arrived, but the heat
of the fire was so intense that the solid
streams of water from the hose turned
into steam before they entered the win
dows, and the engines might as well
have blown air at the flames. In twenty
minutes the walls fell, and the fire
crossed the two adjacent streets. All
the engines in the city, thirty three in
number, were hurried to the spot, and
help was summoned by telegraph from
all the n~ighboring towns, and even
from Springfield, n hundred miles away.
and, Notwithstanding the heavy rain
which prevailed during most Of the time,
nearly seventy engines were assembled
and pouring rivers Of water on the fire
before it was subdued.

Who Was Lord CHESTERFIELD. Son,

To turn to that feature in Lord Chester
fields life which has impressed itself
most strongly on the world at large-his
relations with his son-we find that, for
the last quarter of his life, Lord Chester
field lived almost entirely for his son (she
issue of a liaison with a French woman
of the name of Du Bouchet). This young
person is much to be pitied. He is one
Of the most eminent victims Of parental
ambition, the determination that is, to
make a son what o think you would
like him to be, not that he was born to
be. What Philip Stanhope might have
been, we need not waste our time in
guessing. Nothing very striking, prob
ably. AT best he seems to have shown
signs of being an inferior Gibbon; his
father is always telling him that he
spends too much time over his books, SO
that probably he had n real taste for cru
dition. But that was not at all Lord
Chesterield's idea of a man. 1.-THE clois-
tered pedant," 1.-The illiberal pedant," is
the object of his ~unceasing scorn. He
determined that his son should lead the
same sort Of life that he had led, but be
so much more successful in that he should

terield's experience.
Unfortunately, the scheme of educa-
ton which he devised was far from well
adapted to carry out these ideas. At
its root there was n fundamental error.
Lord Chesterfield held a theory, of which
he hattered himself he was a living eI-
ample, that everything except poetry can
De acquired, and, as in one place he
tdanks God hat neither he nor his son
was born to be a poet, for practical pur~
poses he may be said to have believed
that everything, not merely facts, but
feelings, not only outward habits, but
frames of mind, only waited for a vigor-
Gus will to summon them and take pos
session. This was a radical error of his,
but he believed 1t with all his heart and
soul. 1t is wrong, but nevertheless it
may be a highly useful lesson to teach
while the mind is in its acquisitive stage.
Then it may act as a powerful stimulus,
but it may be abused, and Lord Chester
field certainly abused it.-Temple Bar.
