Of rare charm. The wine cellar Of DR..
Borden had escaped the fortunes Of war,
and its contents were brought forth ia
grace the occasion. Gen. Taylor, in his
book, Destruction and Reconstruc-
tion," says in the chapter devoted to
his surrender: The popping of cham.
payne corks all day long was the most
agreeable sound had heard for four
years" iii ~3.s r., r. .
In considering this as the Last sur
render, it might be more correct to
as three weeks later Gen. E. Kirby
Smith, who commanded the Trans
Mississippi department, nominally sur
rendered by proxy. This surrender,
which had only the significance of a
post factum formality to clear the rec
oIds, was made at New Orleans on the
25th of May, 1865, by Gen. Buckner,
representing Gen. Smith. The army
which he had commanded had some
time before disbanded, and when the
so-called surrender was made there was
not even the shadow of a substance to
deliver. On the other hand, Gen. Taylor's
command, owing to its situation at the
time of his surrender, almost a month
after the collapse of the confederacy,
was weI-organized body of about 49,
600 men. These men, after he returned
to Meridian, Mississippi, where they
were encamped, and struck his flag ac-
cording to the terms of his surrender,
he regularly paroled.
Some years ago, the fine old colonial
mansion which was the home of DR..
Borden was burned. It is said that this
was not accidental, but that the house
was fred by it's owner who, from BROOD
ing over the changes in his financial
condition wrought by the war, became
victim of melancholia. 1t seems that
the scenes which reminded him of for
,ner days, of happy opulence, became
particularly hateful to him, and he de-
termined to turn his back upon them
forever. The feast which celebrated the
last surrender of the civil war was the
last entertainment ever given by DR..
Borden who, in the old times, kept
open house and was famed, even in this
land of the hospitable, for his hospital
ity. Disposing of his broad acres, he
went to California and never returned.
The tract of about 200 acres, of which
the commanding height which was the
scene of the last surrender was part,
was purchased by Eugene D. Mann, the

The State Fair.

Inc premium list OF the state fair
has been revised with generous hand,
and the offers made are more liberal
and comprehensive than any hereto
fore announced by the society. The
large amounts offered for horses in
other years are repeated, with addi-
tional classes and prizes for harness
and saddle horses. Additional classes
have been opened for cattle, increasing
the competition among breeders, and
the general interest in the department.
The usual large offers are made for
sheep, swine and poultry, with some
additions. The amount offered for
creamery butter has been increased
frym $40 to $3.50, while other liberal
offers of a year ago in the dairy depart
ment are repeated. Premiums for farm
and orchard products are also largely
increased, thus giving new impetus to
the exhibition of dairy, agricultural
and horticultural products. The ma
chinery. honey, forestry and mineral
exhibits will each be in greater prom
inence than in other years. The
woman's department will be made I'M
usually attractive, and the main build
ing will be filled with wonderful
profusion of miscellaneous exhibits.
The sum of 81, 200 is offered for county
exhibits, an increase of $500 over the
amount given last year.

An Inventory.

The inventory of the property at the
state institutions, not including the
university, is given by Secretary Hart,
of the state board of Correction and
Charities, at SIS, 1877, SAT. This includes
the fixed movable property. The land
is worth S175, 9o4 and the buildings and
the buildings and fixtures foot up
"a, 327,411. Owing to the decrease in
values, this is smaller than in 1894,
when it was 81, 900, 535. Iu 1892 it was
$4,o7o, 900; in 1890, So, S32, 900, and in
1888, the first year of the inventory,
50, $685.
The average value per inmate is 1914.
At the three insane asylums the aver
age is as follows: Rochester, $646; St.
Peter, 1919; Fergus Falls, $3.50. The
Fergus Falls asylum is of fire proof
construction, and the buildings at st.
Peter are built of cut stone, while
those at Rochester are of brick.
The most expensive place per inmate
Is the reformatory at St. Cloud, where
it averages $2,06S. This is due to the
fact that buildings are not constructed
with the idea of economy of space.
There is really much more room for
the inmates than there are provisions
allowed.

nan, proprietor Of the Mount Bak err
hotel, had been there and caught
all the trout, so Troutle proposed
that the party take short cut
across the country to Clearbroek
creek on the d. b. & B. g., where,
he SAID, trout could be found in
innumerable quantities. The party
started out aud IA a short time

JEFF LiPsCOMBS LATEST.

The Dan Trucker Pioneer Flicker
broke out again last week and had
another nightmare on our account,
az witness tbs following lyric pro
ductien from the phunny pen of
jeff, who has to much Lips and
will have to be Gem bed over again :
Deacon Brown, Of the Kingwood
ARGUS, has gone into the potato
business. He became very much
worried over the probable deyasta-
ton OF his pet crop by the later
bugs and WAS very anxious for
some method OF Kidding himself of
these pests. On looking over some
OF his exchanges he saw an adver-
tlsemont which stated that for fifty
cents certain firm would sead q
'tater bag exterminator. Accord.
lngly the Deacon bloWed ia his
fifty cents, and in due time he re.
celyed two pieces of boards about
an inch square with the following
directions: "Put the later bugs en-
ore board and hit clip with the
other and they will every one die.
A good thing. Shove it along"
At last accounts the Deacon was
meditating upon the sinfulness OF
man in general, and was at a stand
still as to whether he would keep
on lying about free silver or take
on the gsrb of Monk.
