self had escaped from the traditional bounds
Of his habitation. AS the railroads were built
westward and northward new avenues of
commerce were opened up, all Of which went
to develop the great Northwest into COM
monwealth of unusual wealth and resource.
The Red River carts then did all the

THIRTY-SEvEN YEARS AGO.

Just thirty years ago the St. Paul
people were eagerly waiting for news from the
Battle Of Bull Run. In those days of PRINT
tive civilization. the telegraph had not reache d
its present state Of perfection, and it was sew
eral days before definite news was received
from the most disastrous battle of the early
days Of the war, which plucked away several
thousands Of the flower Of Northern soldiery
The first report had 1t that 5000 men had
been killed. but later advices greatly reduced
these figures.
Amid the terrible carnage of the battle the
gallant First Minnesota" were moved down
like grass" Although several other regl-
ments participating in the battle lost as many
men as the old First, none of them occurred
more dangerous or important position in the
field.
Every mail brought the sad intelligence Of
the death Of husband or son, and for days
the city was in mourning.
When the news was first received it was
thought that Washington was in danger Of
being taken by the Confederate forces. A
public meeting was called by the first citi
zens Of the city, and stirring addresses were
delivered by David Cooper, ]. NJ. Gilman j.

Far-Fetched Humanity.

''This war Is inaugurated in the In
terests of humanity" has been the
constant assertion of its promoters.
Spanish inhumanities, the flendish
treatment of prisoners, the starving Of
the reconcentrados, the tortures Of
the paciflcos, the destruction Of prop
erty, all this called aloud to heaven
for our interference. Again, 1t Is our
mission to aid the patriots struggling
for freedom to govern themselves as
they will; to spread over the globe as
fast and far as possible the blessing Of
free government, with its attendant
forces of free schools, free religion, free
speech. Having made ourselves free,
1t is our sacred duty to extend the help
ing hand to those who would lift them
selves out Of despotism into the glori-
GUS brightness and lightness Of liberty.
And so we are at war.
But there are humanities and hui
manities, and those are best which, like
charity, begin at home. It we are to
bring Cubans within the realm of the
humane, how much more essential is 4
that we should surround the valiant
and self-sacrificing men who have gone
to carry into effect the nations mis-

DR.. Koch, in addition to his commits
sion to Investigate the causes of the
rinderpest, was also directed by En-
peror Wilhelm to search in his African
colonies for the causes of the malarial
fevers that deter the occupation Of
those regions by German emigrants.
TO have dominion over vast territories
covered by forests and inhabited by
saVages brings neither honor nor profit
to the empire, and so the emperor sent
Koch out to find remedy for the ma
larial diseases that kept his migrating
people from going to German West
Africa. 1t Is not alone that locality
whose malaria prevents Mortimer
