And now at the opening gates of this
field of distinguished and widely felt use
fu'ness, Rev. John p. Quigley is stricken
down. Truly to the eye of man it is a mys-
terlous Providence, one Of those unlooke d
for, and strange dispensations Of the
Mighty Will and Infinite Wisdom above,
that makes the wisdom of man voiceless and
mute, and teaches us to walk by faith and
not by sight


His venerable father whom he loved and
reyered, and the fond mother of whom he
often spoke SO tenderly, can find no comfort
in any earthly considerations, as the lifeless
form of the beloved son is borne back to
thei- atricken home. But they know the
heart of Jesus, and committing their crush
ed spirits to the tender sympathies of that
Friend of the soul, they can obtain heart
comfort from the Redeemer whom their
son adored and trusted, and sought to glo-
rify, and with Whom he now walks in the
w orld of Light. w. r. II.

The old stock cry against Superior was,

We put a head on that state
ment at the polls last fall, when 2o4 votes
were cast for railway measure, and not
one against it! And to show that Superior
is wide-awake and has come to stay, we
may mention that this spring not only are
our uoters unanimous, but our property
oaoners, resident and nonresident, are prac-
ticaily unanimous in carrying out certain
measures seen to be for the best welfare of
the place.


The old lines seem pretty well oblitera-
ted. Lowertown wants property In Upper

old proprietors, and the old residents, and
the new proprietors, and the new residents,

right railroad policy. Every scheme based
on the supposition that Superior is divided
against itself is bound to fail. IF the spirit
of Unanmity aud Magnanimity rises to a
much higher tide, we may yet consent 70

1t is hard to prove to the immigrant that
this is the excellent farming country we
know it to be, as he looks at our miles and
miles of unbroken forest. A number Of
farms side by side in steady operation,
would do more to convince the decriers OF
our climate and soil of their real agrcul-
tural value, than any number Of publica-
tions on this subject, merely detailing ex-
periments in isolated farms and gardens.
A great deal depends upon proving to the
world beyond a doubt, that it will pay TO
farm steadily, aud on large scale, IN the
latitude Of Lake Superior, and in the imme-
diatc vicinity of the Lake.


It is full time for more and better cult
vation Of the ground at the head Of Lake
Superior. Let the present year mark an
advance in this matter, that will keep pace
with our expected railway advantages.


We have noticed that some among US
already have a name for good farming and
gardening, and they find it a paying repu
tation. Their crops having been invari ably
good, large portion of each are contracted
for in advance, and so a careful farmer cen
be as sure of permanent income as sal
ared officer, or a man with money at inter
est. There is no question IN the minds of
rejecting men in this quarter, that had each
of our citizens opened up a farm here, fit-
teen, twelve or even ten years ago, there
would have been at the present time a lar
ger population here, more money in posses
sion and circulation, and a greater induce
ment to new comers to cast in their lot
among us permanently, than there has been
until quite lately.


Nowhere does it pay better to plant the
best than on Lake Superior. If every far
mer and gardener this present season,
should put in the Early Rose potato or some
equally choice variety, and then spare no
pains in cultivation the ample result would
more than pay for the extra trouble taken.
We have seen as sorry looking specimens
of the potato raised here as in the states SO
as 10 lie farther south, but it
was labor thrown away to raise such fail
ureS. No man can make agriculture remu-
nerative who does not do his best in select
ing and cultivating the products of the soil.


But it is encouraging to note that our
agricuturists already give indications that
they are determined to mark the present
season with a decided advance in the quail
ity and quantity of the usual farm produc
tions. The plow is going in every direc
ton, good seed is in demand, and the short,
forcing summer will soon bring an ample
return for the labor our citizens are now
putting forth. 1t is a peculiar advantage of
farming on Lake Superior that we have
the greatest amount of heat combined with
the least amount of drought, combination
that has in some measure the forcing effect
of the heats and rains of the torrid zone,

RedfstrictIng Bill Killed I'm Missouri.


ST. LOUIS, June 23.-The lower house
of the Legislature yesterday adopted a
resolution declining at this session to
pass any bill redistricting the State into
Congressional districts, on the ground
that grave doubts exist as 10 the power
Of the General Assembly to do so under
the Governors proclamation calling an
extra session, and which, If done, might
endanger the entire Congressional dele
cation of the State.

The Legislature is dispatching the business
before it with considerable rapidity, and yet
with due caution. However desirable it
may he that the session should be termin-
ated at an early day, as matter Of saving
to the tax-rdden people of the State, there
are some things which, we trust, will not
be neglected, though it may involve more
protracted session than is otherwise 10 be
wished. We allude more particularly, to
the arrangement and apportionment of the
Senatorial and Congressional districts.
The present iniquitous system by which
the voice Of white maiorities is stifled by
the annexation of overwhelming negro ma
iorities, is nm evil and an injustice that must
be cmed.


With regard to the refusal Of the House
Of Representatives 10 prefer articles OF i'm

and corrupt Judge of the Seventh Cir

of view, for We question the prOpriety Of
the action in the light Of public duty. In

ment gained US nothing, for his successor is
no improvement upon the original, in men-
tai qualifications, in manners, or in freedom
from mean and malignant spirit; but then
it was right,-it was due to justice,-that
a great criminal should be punished. And
SO, while the expulsion OF Logan from the
Bench, which he disgracas by his inconpe-
tency, is demanded by considerations Of
public duty, and as an act of justice to the
people of the counties afflicted by his i'm
becility, lis continued exhibitions Of unfit
ness will disgust all decent men with the
party of which he was elected as repre-
sentative. And there is, besides, much of
reason in the position, that it would be an
act of inconsistency 10 punish the stolid

The Orphan Boy-The Rich Man.


Twenty years ago, in o plain
coffin, q few kind neighbors low

mained of a widow. Her husband
had five years ago died o drunk-
ard. For five years she had toiled
to give her SOM food, clothes and

For five years had she battled with
the world, working beyond her
strength for q living.


She had been the wife Of q
drunka-d. Then she was looked
upon as the widow of drunka.d.
Her boy was looked upon as the
child OF drunkard. So the wid-
ow was not invited into so-called
society. The boy. upon whose
head was resting the sins Of his
father, was often cuffed, kicked and
sneered at by other boys, as II he
were to blame for what his poor
weak father had done!


When the little funeral was over
with and the procession had brok
en- up. the boy returned to the
small house which once had been
his home. 1t was silent, even as
the grave. A kind woman, poor
as his mother had been, took him
