Sixteen years ago Chas. F. Hen

Herald. In its last issue Mr.. Hen
dryx has some interesting reminis-
cences on Sank Centre as it
was in 1879. Sank Centre had
then about 100 people, it,
tie more than half its present size.
Says the Herald: "This was a
happy and prosperous town, second
to none in the state northwest OF
St. Paul. From that time to the
present it has never been quick.
ened by boom nor retarded by
disaster nor dizziness, Its march
has been steady and strong, and
save during the one year, 1852,
when the Little Fails & Dakota
road was completed, it's growth has
been imperceptible. That year
there was activity in building, and
ten or dozen brick stores We're
erected, none Of them have ever
been vacant for any length of
time since. " " ~..> :.
The Herald has been. always an
interesting and influential paper,
and is sure to continue SO as long
as Mr.. Hendryx is in charge.

AGlGANTIC MONOPOLY.

Morris Tribune: The Great
Northern.Northern Pacific deal
continues to be a conundrum. a
good many people, who are in q
position to know, assertthatit will
be only a few days now before
Jim Hill will have control of the
N. P, his list trip to New York
being for the purpose Of complet-
ing the details Of the deal. IF this
be true, he is liable to run against
a much larger obstacle than be.
fore. And that is the laws of the
State of Montana. Gov. Richards,
of Montana, seems determined to
prevent the consolidation at all
hazards. He stands ready, and
will call an extra session Of the
legislature the moment it is
certain that Hill secures the
Northern Pacific. There is no
doubt that if this deal is effected
it will be one of the most gigantic
railroad monopoies in the world,
and give them control of the en-
tire Western trade. The mer-
chants, jobbers and farmers, ship.
pers and buyers, will be completely
at their mercy, and bled to- death.
A few more governors like Richards
would be blessing to the country
and death to monopolies.

The Power of Words.

Words, for the most part. are mere
arbitrary combinations of charac-
ters. to represent some thing or
abstract idea, and yet there are those
which by association have magic
power. =. Shakespeare speaks q. Of
"words to conjure WITH" and in the
dark ages The astrologers and ma
gicians had their mystical words
which were supposed to have super
natural powers, even to the raising
of the dead. Nations have had their
peculiar war-cries. as the old English
''FOr England and St. George!''; the
MahOmmed0n "Allan il Allah!", and
under the influence of these mere
words men have gone cheerfully to
the certain chance of death. Other
words bring up crowds of tender
memories, like ''home" and
mother A friend OF ours who
was wounded at Chickamauga told
us that when he was in hospital, a
neigboring band one day played
Home, Sweet Home" and he drew
the blanket over his head and cried
like child. That's the influence of
words. Names of places often bring
up delightful associations when we
hear them. The words burlington

pleasant journeys, superb accommo-
dations, "a uick time, and courteous
