at standstill. There is practically
no Nv ork, though the Northern Pa

extensive improvements from Staples

winter. probably, and IL is giving
employmentto many men., But no
more men are needed at present. and
this offers no solution Of the problem
that confronts the Iaborer out of

Wages In the woods came down
this week, and many Of the men quit
work on that account. The pay has
been from $40 to "a, hut now all that
is offered is SIS to $40. In all proba-

spring. With docks full of sawed
lumber and rivers fullsof logs there is

"A large number of Little Falls peo-

Albert BOuck. Thraelner won; time,

Fourth event. one mile local, with
six participants. John Bible first.
Victor Sawdy second, VIM. Galley

Victor SAVOY, a young farmer living
near Royalton. Good time was
m ade-37 minutes 81 seconds for the
twelve miles. VIM. Galley was sec
ond and j ohm Bible third.
The last race Of the meeting was
the one-mile consolation, and was
won by Chas. Guernon OF this city.
Guernon was the, only rider from
this city who participated in the
races, and tits said that for a short
distance race, or squirt, he was
more speedy than any Of the Others,
but lacked training for a long dis
tance race. 1884,.
d Some very good prizes were given
to the winners, and the result OF the
meeting was satisfactory to all.
It was expected that there would
be several riders from st. Cloud, but
as it had rained in that place during
yesterday forenoon they thought it
would result in declaring the races
off, and they did not attend.

1t is left for a heathen and q China
man to show the world an. example Of
pure and true devotion Of friend to
friend that shines illustrious amid the
greed and ingratitude Of civilized men.
When Grant visited Lii Hung Chang.
he had greatly at heart the bringing Of
China up abreast Of modern nations.
There was no motive Of self interest in
his advice. Ho thought first and most
Of the good Of China herself, and Ii
Hung Chang, reader Of men, knew it.
Grants motives were 20 different from
those Of tie Englishmen, Russians,
French and Germans Ii had knowledge
of. They cared only for the aggrandize-
ment Of themselves. and their respective
countries, and Lii Hung Chang, reader
Of men, knew this too. He graded them
accordingly. In all the years of his
official existence Grant was the only
great man, the United States the only
nation, that had looked on China from
any other than the standpoint Of pure
greed. .. ~, -,
From that day on Ii treasured this in
his heart. When, therefore, at the close
Of the Japan-C China war arbitrators were
wanted to judge between the two ma
lions and fix the indemnity China was
to pay, the United States was the coun-
try to which China turned first in her
need. The services Of the men chosen to
perform the delicate task were SO salts

when he cast eyes upon.ex-C Commission

Of his visit to America was to look upon

. A great lawsuit has been concluded
in Los Angeles, Gal. It was 90 years
ago that Encarnacion Bucina died there,
leaving an estate worth $40, 900. There
was difference among the heirs in re-
gard to its distribution, and they went
to law. The case was fought bitterly
and appealed and continued year after
year. The heirs got tired Of waiting for
their money and died in disgust, some
Of them. while others left the country.
This summer, when the suit was con.
cluded, the lawyers and administrators
claims were first allowed, and the estate
was then allotted to tho heirs. There
was exactly 40 cents Of 1t left. There is
