WORLDS FAIR VIEWS.
As Voiced by the Press of the State.

1t is strange that number of state
editors, in looking at the Minnesota
exhibit at the Worlds Fair, cannot
see beyond L. p Hunt, w. r. Merri-
am, or some other member of the
commission. Do our brethren suppose
that it is possible TO pick out COM
mission of men none of whom would
excite personal jealousies? Then
why not stop swapping and snarling
at the commissioners, and consider
MinneSota's great interest in that
matter? 1t is time that our good
friends of the Mankato Review Anoka
Union, Jackson Republic, Fairmont
News, and dozen others, should take
their green goggles off of Hunt and
Merriam and take good, clear view
OF Minnesota and the Worlds Fair,
once. Come, friends: stop this nom
sense, now, and let US all stand by
Minnesota. Let us make the Column
blan Exposition the grandest the
world ever S; Y, and see to it that
Minnesota stands in the first ranks.
Ihls thing of picking out a commits
sion entirely made up of everybody's
friends is out of the question. We
should not allow little personal differ
enceS TO Interfere in such a grand en-
terprlSe. Mldocdy Neacs'

Seven hundred dollars are what is
asked of Nicollet county towards
making the show of Minnesota at the
Columbian exhibition grand success.
We understand the Co. Commission
ers viii be asked to make this much
of an appropriation. We cannot see
why the city, any more than the
county, should be asked to contribute
more than its share Of the amount

The amount desired from Wadena
county is $50, which might be raised
easily in a short time. We have not
learned that any course has been de-
cided upon: but as the Journal is in
hearty accord with the project of the
commissioners. it will be glad to re-
cord any subscription which may be
made TO this fund. LATER: County
Commioner Lyons is already at work
in Verndale soliciting subscriptions,
and gOodly sum is pledged. Our
city will do her share in raising the
county's appOrtiOnment, and ere these
lines are read the matter will be plac-
ed beyond doubt. The proposition of
the commissioners will meet with
generous response throughout the
state. we feel assured, and Minneso-
ta's industries will be adequately
represented at the Worlds Fair

Freeborn county has been assessed
1895 as its share of the 800, 900 to be
raised for the Minnesota exhibit at

matter is important and we shall give

!enny Lind at Mount Vernon

What old timer does not recollect the coming of Jenny Lind to our shores in 1850, and the extraordinary furore created by her singingp Of course l only know what I've read about it, but I remember one incident in particular, her visit to Mount Vernon. The great songstress had boon deeply touched by stories of the illustrious patriot and apon reaching Washington the first request was to be taken to Mount Yer non. When Colonel Washington, the then proprietor of the estate, heard of her wish, he chartered steamboat and made up party, which, beside Mir. Barnum and Miss Lind, included Mir. Seaton, the Mayor of Washing ton. and other notable citizens. The boat landed near the tomb and the party proceeded thither The Swedish woman's big heart ran over as she irew near this sacred spot From this point she was conducted to the mansion. where fine collation. was served. With child like enthusi sm she gazed upon every relic of the great leader. Whom she party had reached the library Colonel Washington took book from one of the shelves and presented it to her. Not only had 1t been Washing tons but it contained his boox plate and his name written with his own hand. Miss Lind was greatly moved. She drew Mr. Barnum aside and insist ed upon making some suitable return for the gift then and there, and all though her watch and chain was a costly one and had been present from a friend. Mir Barnum had great difi- culty Tn restraining her from at once bestowing it upon Colonel Washing ton 'rhe expense is nothing" shs exclaimed, compared to the value of this bookr' Dear good soul! But l wonder where the book Is now! Nc doubt in possession of her family and properly cared for as priceless me- mento of Mime. Lind Goldschmidfs visit to the New World.

CHAPTER VIIi.

Above the floor on which Sir Philip and his companions now stood was . loft, which was reached by a rough ladder. There WAS good view, Job Heston said, from the window up there; and lima went up, accompanied only by Sir Philip.
 The loft seemed to have been used at one time for stacking corn; but it had not served any purpose for years, and seemed . dreary place indeed. One lattice, small and deeply sunk in the wooden W all, lock- ed out over the landscape; and lima gazed through the open loop-hole--for there was no glass in fiat the river flowing bright. ly in the sunlight, the tumbling weir, the fields and woods, the turrets of tue Larchcs, anl the red walls of the Grange peeping from the clustering trees; and through the summer air the voices of Rose and Jamie Sabine floatcd upwards. For fully five minutes luna looked out upon the beautiful scene, her vivid imagination conjuring up another picture, when the river would be like foaming sea, whirl- ing away boughs of trees, and pcrchance living things too, in it's fierce anger. She drew back, shuddering again.
 "Come," said Sir Philip gcntiy-"come into the sunshine once more. Why, child, your hps are whitev P
 He went down the ladder first, aud turning as he stepped upon the floor gave her his hand in courtesy-for active lima needed no help. His slight hand closed over hers like vice and the pressure seemed to reach even to tue girls heart If her eyes had met his, If they had been alone, the self-control that kept him si. lent still would have surely given way.- He Felt it, and he knew it-felt, with a kind of terror, how man may be al. the mercy of moment. But nma did hot look at him; and Job Heston and Roland Sabine were waiting.
 .sIlma thinks the loft dreai. place" said Darrell, smiling and addressing Ro- land; and then he added to Job, "f our Mill is an eerie place, Heston.'
 "Ay, that it is, Sir Philip. Missy wouldn't like to be imprisoned here, ehs''
 "No," said lima, shortly-she. had talk on . strong dislike to Job Hcston.

An Importa1r exception.

A good joke Is told of a kind sister. belonging to church not a thousand miles from Covington, who was devot- edly attached to her pastor, and pious- ly taught her children to reverence the minister above all men. They were strictly and conscientiously taught that, when speaking of him in com parison with other men or things, he must always be excepted as the great est and best. This rule was so rigidly adhered to by the good mother. and the children were so punctiliously trained with regard to their high es- teem and partiality for the minister, that they never spoke of anyone or anything without always adding tho one exception.
 Now, it so happened ono day that one of the little boys. who was pre- cocious youngster of $ years, was out playing in the fields, near his home, and discovered an immense hog graz ing in the pasture. when he became alarmed and ran to the house with all the swiftness his little legs could com mand. Upon reaching the ''paternal haven of safety," and almost out O. breath. he called to his mother with all the animation and ardor of his boy ish nature: .'Oh! ma, ma! saw the biggest hog down yonder in the field that ever saw in my life-except our minister Whereupon it is said the good mother tainted. -Covingtol (Ga) Star.

itors descended the stairs, took leave, and rode away. But Roland fingered be- hind under pretence of tightening his sad- dlc-girths, and Zeph was standing near to him.
 "Zeph," he said, "what ails youi What harm has lima Costello done you;v
 "You know best" replied the girl with . savage gleam in her black eyes.
 "Pooh, you fancy that am in love with herr'
 "Fancy? Why do you change color even now, and why do you look so black at Dark Darrells But if he wants her, he'll have her, be certain"
 "wil he, by Heaveni" began Roland passionately.
 Zeph's short hard laugh checked him, showing him that he had betrayed him- self
 "You're not in love with her, ehr she said, clenching her hand before her. "No, you needn't tell me any lies; and don't be afraid I'll tell of you. Father would throw me over the weir if he knew you had been making love to me; but it is a sin and shame; and I'll have my revenge yet on you and the foreign missy"
 "Zeph, dear Zeph-"
 But Zeph had run of, and Roland was fain to mount his horse and ride afer the others. Darrell, glancing back, saw that Roland was talking to Zeph, and he drew his own conclusions; but he said nothing; and the party rode up to the Larches ale most in silence. Mrs. Sabine wanted H. ma and her companion to remain for the rest of the day; but lima did not like to absent herself from her aunt for % long. Moreover how could she pass the evening In her riding-drcss? At first therefore she refused, till it was suggested that Miss Durnford should be sent for, as we'll as a change of apparel. Perhaps, too, Sir Philips quick, low "Y ou can surely stay" helped far more than she would have cared to acknowledge to make her consent This was as they were dlsmounting. Then Sir Philip left lima to her cousin, and at tended to the Sabine girls.
 "How good of you to stay" said Ro- land, looking up with beaming eyes, though he wished Darrell had declined the invitation. "Promisc me game at chess, Ilma."
 "If you like, Roland," she answered, thinking great deal more about the now- CTS still remaining in Zuleika's ear--faoed now, but not dead--than about Roland and his request. She would have taken thch out II she had uareu, put Witn no- land there, and Sir Philip close by, she felt afraid somehow. Roland, however, had not forgotten them; and, when he had helped lima to alight, he turned back with assumed carelessness, and catching the mares bridlc from the hand of the young groom who was holding it, took out the flowers, and threw them upon the ground.

adopted elsewhere to enable those who
could not otherwise afford it to visit the
National Encampment OF the q. A. X.

is to have everybody who wishes to go
deposit such sum as he can at any time.
The only charge will be twenty-five
cents for expenses, and all the rest Of
the money deposited will be paid back
at any time ON surrender Of the pass
