tributary, about two miles below
the place where we stood. occasioned
an expansion of both valleys at that
spot. The beautiful and diversified
vegetation, springing luxuriantly
on the banks of both streams, the
rapid current or the waters rushing
to one common point, formed land
scape, which at that time. appeared
to us as smiling and beautiful as any
we had ever beheld. But it is prob
able that much of its charm arose
from the contrast which it present
ed with the wearisome views of the
boundless prairies; perhaps, also, we
found ourselves in better spirits to
enjoy the scenery, from perceiving,
near these banks, the first trace of
the buffalo, whence we drew pros
poets of a speedy change in our fare,
together with hopes of soon sharing
in the sports of an active and inter-
esting chase. Though narrow, the

Thirteen and fifteen years later this
quarry was successfully visited and

The narrative of Longs expedi-
ton, compiled by Prof, Heating,
was published the next year in two
volumes at Philadelphia: and in 1855
an edition of it, also in two volumes,
appeared in London. Following the
narrative by Heating is a chapter by
Major Long, giving general de-
scription of the country traversed,
written as Typographical report to
the war department. Important
scientific reports are appended, cor
stituting great contribution to the
natural history and ethnology of the
Northwest, surprising in value any

MINNESOTA VALLEY PIONEERS.
Secretary Upham's Story Of the First
White Men Who Saw these Paris.

TIE FIRST WHITE MEN IN MINNESOTA
The first forerunners of this adj
vanced race, coming to the area Of
Minnesota as its earliest explorers,
were two French fur traders. named
Groseilliers and Raddison, drawn
hither by their hardihood and zeal
for adventure and by the hope of
commercial gain. The younger OF
the two, Raddison, who wrote the
accounts of their expeditions, was
scarcely more than a boy in years.
Both he and his brother-in-law,
Groseilliers, had great courage and
skill in dealing with the red men,
and very rare earnestness for distant
and difficult explorations; but they
sometimes were deficient, like some
other adventures and narrators of
discoveries at that period, in the
qualities of that truthfulness, patri-
otism, and loyalty. which we would
be glad to attribute to the first pio-
neers Of civilization in Minnesota.
In the spring Of the year 1865. less
than half a century after the found
ing of Quebec by Champlain, these
two Frenchmen came, as Raddison's
narrative indicates. to Prairie Island
of the Mississippi river, between the
sites of Red Wing and Hastings,
where they spent a year with the
Indians, returning in the summer of
1856 to Montreal and Quebec, bear
ing in their canoes and those of their
large Indian escort, a valuable
freight Of furs.
They came again to Minnesota in
a second western expedition, canoe
ing in 1859 up the Ottawa river and
through Lake Huron and Superior
to Chequamegon Bay, finally landing
near the site of Ashland, Wis, and
in the winter, after New Years day
in 1860, conducting a great ceremon-
ial council, feasts and athletic sports,
with the Sioux and Crees near Knife
lake in Kanabec county in this state,
about a days journey east of Mile
Laos. By the council, feasting and
interchange of gifts. they sought to
establish with the native tribes
friendly relations for fur trading,
that this traffic and the dominion of
France, thus begun in the vast
Northwestern country beyond the
Great Lakes, should long continue.
For the same reasons, Groseilliers
and Raddison travelled Immediately
after the council to the prairie re-
gion where the Sioux hunted the
buffaloes, probably coming past the
site of Minneapolis to the great
prairies adjoining the Minnesota
river. If rightly understand the
narrative, they were the first white
men in this valley, journeying as far
southwestward as to the vicinity of
New Ulm, in April, 249 years ago.
The return to Chequamegon bay on
Lake Superior was probably by the
canoe route of the Minnesota, Miss
issippi and st. Croix rivers.

Whatever may be said for the
protection of any of our manufac-
turing industries, we believe that
the sugar trust should be treated as
an outlaw. for there can be no ques-
ton about it's managers being Grim

New York World tabulates it's crimes

LONGS EXPEDITION.

More than half a century again
rolled away, while hunters and fur
traders went up and down the Min
nesota river, before the next expe-

historical records. This was the
scientific expedition led by Major
Stephen H. Long, with Prof. VIM.

just 20 years after the United States
purchased the vast area then called
Louisiana. lying west of the Mississ-
ippi river and including thus more
than half of the present state of
Minnesota.
In accordance with orders from
the war department, Major Long

MOURNING ETIQUETTE.
Conventional Time For Wearing the
Trappings of Woe.

Conventional Time For Wearing the
Trappinss Of Woe.
A widow may resume her society
life after the first month Of her widow
hood has expired, in so far Us paying
calls is concerned, and after two
months she may attend small informal
gatherings and concerts. When three
months have expired she may accept
and give invitations TO small dinners.
This is the modern seclusion, but
elderly women frequently make a
compromise between the short and the
long seclusion and do not accept or
give invitations until six months have
expired.
Next in Importance Is the period of
mourning for father or mother. This
extends over twelve months, but a
great difference consists in the period
during which half mourning is worn.
For instance, an unmarried daughter
residing at home would wear black
during ten months and half mourning
for two months. A married daughter.

black for eight months and half mourn
ing for four months or black for six
months and half mourning for the
same time. Then, again. young girls
still in the schoolroom, Of ages from
ten to fourteen, are not expected to
wear black longer than three months
and to go into half mourning ut the
af fhaf q
with black and white, followed by
grays and half mourning shades. Lit
tie children are not put into mourn
Ing but wear white with black trim
mings. The seclusion followed on the
death of parent is but slight. Call
lug Is resumed after the first fortnight
and invitations accepted, as a rule,
after six weeks or two months, save
to balls and dances
Next IN order comes the mourning
for brother or sister. This period
varies from four to six months. Black
IL worn during four months and half
mourning for two months, or black Is
worn for three months and half
mourning for the same length OF time.
For relations by marriage. a brother
in-law or sister-in-law. four months IL
the regulation time. 1t may be said
that the mourning worn by wife for
her husbands brother or sister Is usu-
ally longer than that worn for her SIS
ter's husband.
Formerly the period OF mourning for
grandparents was nine months. but
now 1t Is seldom longer than six
months This Is divided Into four
months OF black in the case Of the
granddaughter being unmarried and
two months of half mourning. But IL
they nre married and reside In anoth-
er town black Is usually worn for
three months and half mourning for
three months.
One word as regards the mourning
worn fer an uncle or aunt. The pc
rlod is three months, and black is
worn for two months and half mourn
ing for one month. or there may be a
shorter period, six weeks, during
which time black Is worn and no halt
mourning. This short period Is only
followed by married nieces who live
far away from their relatives.
