He named his discovery Lake Itasca,
Otis Indian name is Omushkos) and upon
his authority geographers and map
makers were satisfied for period OF
nearly fifty years to accept it as the
source of the Mississippi, Doubts
however, prevailed among learned
few as to the correctness of Schoolcraft's
claim, and it remained for some more
modern explorers to make further in
vestigation and decide the disputed
question.
Capt. Willard Glazier, native of st.
Lawrence County, N. Y, led an explor-
ing party to Lake Itasca in July, 1881,
and thence padded through narrow
creek, hidden from view by rank
growth of giant bulrushes, into beau.
tiful lake above and beyond Itasca.
This new lake he found to be the true
head of the river. It is two miles in
length by mile and half IN breadth,
and deeper than any part of Itasca.
Capt. Glazier soon after published his
discovery to the world and secured it's
recognition by geographers. It lies
many miles from the nearest white set
Element, and would be difficult to reach
ny land on account OF the swamps in its
neighhorhood. The Captain and his
party entered it Ivy water. Two small
creeks flow into its southern extremity
and one on its western side. These
spring from sand hills two or three
miles distant from the lake,
Having completed his survey of the
new lake, the party returned through
the same narrow connecting creek to
Lake Itasca, and proceeded onward III
pursuance of the leaders design to
navigate the entire course of the Mis-
sissippi by canoe, distance computed
at 1888 miles from its newly located
source to the Gulf of Mexico. The
voyage occupied III days, prob
ably the longest canoe trip on
record. The true source of the
Mississippi is now generally recog-
nized as Lake Glazier, in latitude
about Al degrees north, at an altitude

mesne river flowing south to the ocean.
His Spanish followers at once named il
Rio Grande"-the great river, but
Americans and the modern world now
know it only by its Indian name, the
Mississippi-"the Father OF Wuters."
Although the discovery OF the Mis-
sissippi was made over three hundred
years ago, it's origin or true source was
unknown to geographers before 1881.
Many attempts have been made to
reach the head of the mighty stream but
they had all failed from various causes
among others, probably, the difficulty
of access to it.
Father Marquette and Joliet, Can
adam fur trader, in 1873, were the first
white men to view the Mississippi after
De Soto, and made extensive discover
les in the vicinity Of its headwaters, but
the source Of the river was hidden from
them. La Sale, Father Hennepin, La
Houtan, Charlevoix, Carver, Pike, Cass,
Beltrami, and other great explorers APP
pear prominent on the scene, and the
source was proclaimed by them to be
at divers points which have all subse-
quently proved to be erroneous.
Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, geclogist Of
the Cass expedition, in 1882 discovered
q lake which he believed aud announced
to be the true source of the great river.
But he has been proved to be mistaken.

Well, sir, he was standing in mud

he'd fall in the mud, and if he didn't 90
home he'd catch cold; but he was still
undecided when I left, and that was
about 2 o'clock in the morning.
Justice Clark fined the accused, and

corning one OF California's exhibits at
the exposition:
The section of the big redwood tree
for exhibition at the Worlds Fair at
Chicago is from the largest and most
perfect 3big tree" in California cut for
the purpose from the forest in Tulare
County. 1t measures fully ninety-nine
feet in circumference at the base, The
height of this monster specimen was
3l2 feet, being l72 feet to the first limb.
which limb measured three feet in di.
ameter. The tree is supposed to be
nearly 5000 years old, taking each con.
centric ring to be one years growth. It is
to be taken from an altitude of 6.325
feet above the sea level, and thirty-three
miles from the nearest railroad"

Got $75 Pearl with His Dinner.

Edward Malley was eating dinner
at Heublein's recently, and among the
first dishes served was oysters on the
half-shell. He picked up one of the
oysters with his fork from the shell,
and his eye was attracted by white
substance which had been concealed
under the oyster 1t was pearl of ex-
traordinary size and exceptionally fine
quality, although it was entirely in the
rough state. 1t was examined by sew
eral gentlemen who were present, and
it was universally conceded to be a re-
markable gem. Mr.. A1alley placed its
value at $75, and this estimate was &C.
cepted as being none too high. He
proposes to have it finished up and
mounted. The oyster in which the gem
was found came from one of the local
dealers and was taken from bed in the
Sound. -Neac Have1a Register.

THE VOTER RESPONSIBLE.
The WorISingman Must Act Independent OF
the Old Parties.

The Workingman Must Act independent of
the Old Parties.
Under a government based on pop
ular suffrage the ultimate response
bility for every abuse rests with the
individual citizen. 1t is neither Just nor
reasonable for workingmen to blame
employers, capitalists or Legislators for
the system under which labor is robbed
of its earnings, unless they themselves
are doing their utmost to change that
system. 1t is especially unfair to charge
the politicians with maintaining unjust
laws while continuing to vote for the
parties whose creatures the politicians
are. There is no sense in blaming the
representatives of the people for doing
exactly what they are elected to
do. The existing parties do not wish
to reform deepeeated abuses or to
alter the relations between capitalism
and labor. So long as workingmen
choose to stand on their platforms and
vote for their candidates, it is both illog-
ical and imprudent for them afterward
to turn round and find fault with poll
ticians who are only carrying out the
mandate of their constituents. If the
masses of the people would only be true
to themselves, they would soon make
an end of usury. rent, profit and all
other forms of exploitation. But it II
useless to rail at the despoiling classes
and their agents for maintaining the
system until they themselves have thu
courage of their convictions.-JournaI
of Knights of Labor.
