sore toe on each foot, which would
make the initiated think they were
afflicted with lameness. A few
years ago it was the Jenny Lind hop
that all the young and would be
young ladies were seized with, and
sprightliness was considered elegant.
But now just the other extreme is
the ton.
Capt. Fiske, in a letter from Fort
Benton, Mont, reports his safe ar
rival there with his big train, all the
members of which are safe and
sound. They intend to go at once
into the heart of the gold-bearing
districts where a camp will be es-
tablished and large prospecting par
ties sent in every direction. The
captain tells of a party Of five men,
who went in there poor in 1864, COM
ing out now with 1900 pounds of
gold more than a tom done up in
sacks similar to potatoes. They did
not encounter a single band of In
dians on the trip west. The route
chosen was the new Northern over
land.
Rev. Edward D. Neill, for years
pastor of the House of Hope church,
which he resigned to become chap
lain of the First Minnesota, has sur
prised his friends by his unqualified
endorsement of President Johnson
as against congress, and his stand
against the granting Of the ballot to
the negro. He has embodied his
ideas in a long letter to Rev. John
Mattocks: Cursed as the southern
states are with a large number of
ignorant voters, contemptuously
called by slaves white trash," it
would be doubly cursed if all the
black men, degraded by slavery,
without any previous preparation
would be allowed to vote. Dema-
gogues would multiply in those re-
gions where they most do congre-
gate, where ignorance and vice
abound, and there would be an in
creasing deterioration of the social
condition of the whole south. Allow
ignorance to control the polls and
capitalists will shun the locality"
In few weeks the St. Paul opera
house will be completed and already
several musical and dramatic cele-
brities are contending for the honor
of consecrating it to their tutelar
muses..
The Shakopee Argus announces
that in consideration of $25, 1000 the
Minnesota valley railroad company
has determined to locate their ma
chine shops, car factory, ETC., at
that place, instead of at st. Paul as
had been intended. A subscription
paper is now in circulation at Shak-
opee for the purpose of raising the
required amount.
The Salt Lake CITY Vidette SAYS:
Capt. Fisk's St. Paul train arrived
at Fort Benton safely, and it is re-
ported that some of it's members
have found rich diggings in the Paw
Paw mountains.
A daily democratic paper, to be
published in the German language,
will be issued beginning next week,
in this city. Mr.. Charles H. Lienau,
the present editor of the German
democratic weekly of St. Paul and
candidate for the state legislature
from this county, will be its editor
and publisher.
1t is almost suicidal for small par
ties Of whites to travel across the
plains. Advices from Forts Laramie
and Reno and the Big Horn river
state that $50 whites have been mas
sacred this summer by the Indians.
The road from Laramie to Powder
river is filled with graves of MUIR
dered men.
