Every one knows, or ought to know, that the

of the whole country, because the prosperity
of the country is involved in the utilization
of the princely domain lying along its line
to agriculture and commerce.


The Southern people have invested large
sums of money in Minnesota; they have
shown sympathy with its progress, and their

The cat that Pirate Sherman has been

the contract in full, to have sold only tenth
of the amount aforesaid. The buyers of
the ten millions, it is true, have the option
of taking the rest of the bonds, but Pirate
Sherman, whose motive was, of course,
the prevention of the repeal Of the

the fact that the sale of the forty

The editor of the St. Panl GLOBE has un-

certain persons are confined in State insti-

the ancient Knight of the Sorrowful Coun-

him a big yarn about the way our present
chief magistrate Games in possession of his

lances of wit and sarcasm upon the Presi-
dents impregnable muniments of title, in
variably speaking of Mr.. Hayes as ellis
Fraudulency." The latest bugaboo that has
found place in his disordered imagination
is the election of Gen. Grant as President in
1880, and consequent revolution, which he
evidently expects to lead in person. His
evolutions are highly entertaining, and the
public can doubtless endure them as long as
he can, but they must be hard on his Rosin-

The Democratic nominee for Congress in

 this District is said to be aman of good reputa- ton and fair ability. He has served in the State Senate, and in the convention, last week, announced himself hard money man. The Courant remarks in reference to this nomina- ton. 'If the republicans nominate strong candidate, such for instance asthe Hon. Fred erick Miles of Salisbury, they will have good chance of redecming the district" In the present state of affairs we should be sorry to see that nomination made. The Democratic convention did an excellent thing in repudia- ting Mir. Geo. W. Peet who would have run on his money; and in selecting pronounced

 hard money man in these times when it IS Sd difficult to commit Democrats to that view on the vital question of finance. We further be. heve that if Senator Miles is nominated he will be generally expected to gain his election, if at all, by the free use of money. We do not say that this would be just inference from his nomination, and we do not believe that Mir. Miles desires or would accept it. Of one thing. however, we feel very certain, that, if he should be nominated and should not

 spend large amount of money in the canvass, the politicians in this district who are clamor- ing most loudly for his nomination. would be most dOIefuliy disappointed. @e

to handsome property, and it is thought that his brother meant te make way with him, and inherit his property.

 We extract the following items from the Gaylordsville correspondence of the New Milford Ray:

 John Flyn is suffering from a painful boil just above the instep of one of his feet which disables him very much from attending to his work. They tell us boils are good thing, but the difficulty is to know just where to locate them so they wont be inconvenient.

 Mrs. Disbrow has been suffering for several days and nights with very sore finger. At first it was thought to be felon coming, but a free use of Mrs. Payne's salve has got the upper hand of the afflicted member, and Mr. Felon has condescended to vacate the premises for the present.

 Local items are most assuredly the life of the local papers nor IS the Ray the only pa- per that carries the business of collecting them to an extreme. Subscribers often find that fault with the Enquirer. Still, if there is to be line drawn anywhere, ought not boils and sore fingers and Payne's salve to be outside of it? And is there no Statute of Limitations barring newspaper jokes as stale as that about locating boil in convenient place

 A remarkable crime, and perhaps remark able series of crimes, has been disclosed recent ly in Bridgeport. It seems that in July last Lorina k. Alexander, an abandoned woman, and one Frank Basset, paramour of hers murdered Frank Weinbacker, at an old coach factory where the pair lived together. They then barreled up the body and tried to sell it to Dr. Sanford, of New Haven. He refused to buy it unless they could get certificate of death from the proper authorities. They then returned, rolling the barrel down into lonely ravine on their way back, where it has since been found. It is believed that this is not the only murder of the kind which this woman has committed. Other persons missing re- gently are believed to have been also made way with at her house. The coroners' jury have rendered a verdict in which they find Mrs. Alexander, and Frank Basset both guilty

The present trouble between the Alta ana Justice Mining Companies reminds us of little unpleasantness of the kind that once occurred between the "420" and the Bullion Companies. The '420" folks were sinkiug a shaft on what was claimed to be Bullion ground. w Walker then Superintendent of the Bullion, told his men that he would make each a handsome present in case they would cut the "42O" fellows off. The Bullion men accordingly pushed drift of nights, when the "420" folks were not at work, and at last tapped their shaft near the bottom. They then set to work and placed a floor of timbrrs across the shaft. Next morning the APO" fellows came to work on their shaft, which was about 400 feet deep, and in the bottom of which three or four feet of wafer usually accumulated over night They did their hoisting by means of horse whim. Not having the remotest idea of what had been going on at the bottom of their shaft over night, the men of the ''42O" let down their bucket for the purpose of bailing out the water, preparatory to sending down the miners.

 The bucket came down and rested on the timber floor. When it had been down long enough to fill, as the fellows above calculated, it slowly began to ascend. The lightness of his load must have greatly astonished the old horse at the whim. The Bullion boys laughed heartily as they saw the empty bucket ascend, and pictured to above.

 Presently the old bucket came poking down again in search of water. This time, in order to make sure, they let down about twenty feet of slack cable. Seeing this, Johnny Cranney, now underground fore man at the Hale and Norcross, lodged out into the shaft and, unlocking the cable from the bucket, hooked it around heavy timber In short time the cable began to crawl up the shaft and soon became taut.

 If the old horse was aston1shed at the lightness of his load, he must now have been astounded at its great weight. Several pulls were taken at the cable, and the Bullion boys laughed till tears ran down their cheeks, as they imagined the old horse getting down to bis work, with the

No BETTER proposition has lately been made than that which contemplates the in- troduction in the army of a system of educa- tion for enlisted men with the principle of promotion from the ranks. Our army organization is altogether too aristocratic for nation protesting to be republican, and also much too costly. We do not want to keep up large body of high salaried officers in time of peace merely to have them ready in case of war, when the army itself can be made a school out of which the needed officers may be drawn when emergency requires sudden increase of the number. At present the enlisted men of the army are treated very much as if they were beings of some inferior order, and natural consequence is that there is no encouragement for men of character and ambition to enlist in the service. It is high time for change.

/ am no teller of stories, says Hazlit
yet there is one belonging to Bur
leigh House of which I happened to
know some of the particulars. The late
Earl of Exeter was divorced from his
wife, woman of fashion and of some
what tmore gayety of manners than lords
who love their ladies" like. He determ-
ined to seek second in an humble
sphere of life, and that it should be one
who, having no knowledge of his rank,
should love him for himself alone. For
this purpose he went and settled incog-
nito, under the name of Mr.. Jones, at
Honet, an obscure village in Shropshire.
He made overtures to one or two damsels
in the neighborhood, but they were too
knowing 10 be taken in by him. His
manners were not boorish; his mode of
life was retired; it was odd how he got
his livelihood; and at last he began to
be thought highwaymah. In this di-
lemma he turned to Miss Higgins, the
eldest daughter of q small farmer at
whose house he lodged Miss Higgins,
it would seem, had not been used to
romp with the village clowns; there was
something in the manner of their quiet
but eccentric guest which she liked.

gard which ne wished for, he made hon
orable proposals to her, and at the end
of some months they were married,
without his letting her know who he was.
They set off in a postchaise from her
fathers house and travelled across the
country. In this manner they arrived
at Stamford. and passed through the
town without stopping, until they came
to the entrance to Bnrleigh Park, which
is on the outside of it. The gates few
open, and the chaise drove down the
long avenue of trees that led up to the
front of this fine old mansion. As they
drew near to it, and she seemed surpris-
ed at where they were going, her hus-
band said to her:


"Well, my dear, this is Burleigh House;

The answer to all these questions
seems patent to the thinking mind. No
one denies that something must be done,
and that speedily, to cure the long brood
ing evil, and the only difference is as to
the hOlD it can be accomplished. In this
both cost and human life are conditions
precedent to any adjustment, and must
be considered equally with the conquer
ing of peace But the end should not
be put of. There should be a speedy
settlement and a final one. 1t is mis-
taken policy to be forever daily ing; it is
not merciful one. There is no valid
reason why the Indians who share she
benefit of the laws should not abide by
and respect them, and it is ridiculous
that q handful of half naked savages
should longer defy. Mercy and benefits
have been scornfully refused, and the
