SOUTH CAROLINA footed tip a ma jority lor the Democrats at the late election, of 67,747.Ex. The rtlle clubs and tissue paper bal lots did the work, WADE HAMPTON, governor of South Carolina, was thrown from his horse and severely injured, some time ago, he is very ill, and his death is momen tarily expected. TUB Benton county Pressalthough very sarcastic is a very readable pa per its editor takes particular pains to dish up his locals in an attractive manner. THANKS to the energy of H. P. Hall, of the St. Paul Newspaper Union, we are able to present t..e President's messagewhich was delivered fry Mondayto our readers, this w.elk. The message is worthy of a careful perusal. WE have received a score or more of letters from Vogler, Meyers & Co., Baltimore, inquiring why their adver tisements do not appear in the UNIONS simply because we have a decided aversion to working for nothing, and the rates this company pays for ad vertising, are not to nothing. ORGANIZATIONS of owners of drive wells, are being formed all over this state and in Iowa and Illinois, and the "sharks" who demand an average roy alty of $20, for the privilege of owfc ing one of these wells, will have to re establish their claimssomething that they can not doin the U. S. courts, before they can go on with their swindling. REFERRING to a paragraph which appeared in the issue of this paper, daled the 20th November, the Bentou county Press says: "The probabili ties are that the 'little giant's' vofce will be heard at our National Capi- tol." We were aware of Donnelly's immense capacity for "blowing his horn," but we had not the faintest idea of his being able to make him self heard so far away from home as Washington, I). C. We would adv se the Press man to stuff a bale or two of hay in his ears, before the "little giant" commences to spout. THE body of D. C. Sattler, the St. Paul merchant who committed sui cide by jumping off the bridge into the Mississippi, .it that city, on the morn* ing of the 25th ult., was recovered on Monday evening, within a few feet of the spot where be was seen to sink. At the time of his committing suiciqe, two pistol shots were heard, audit was thought he shot himself just be* fore taking the fearful leap but a strict examination of the body at the inquest, failed to develop any trace of a bullet mark. It seems that Sattler tried to convey the idea that he haddestitute fought a duel on the bridge, and hence his object io firing {wo pistol shots. ANOTHER railroad meeting was held io Rush City, on the 27th ult., to per fect the organization of the Grants burgh, Rush City & St. Cloud II. R-what Articles of incorporation were drawn up and signed.-Is it not necessary to have the articles published iu news paper at the State Capitol? The pro posed route i to bein fact has been commenced at Grautsburgh, on the St. Croix river, running west to Rush City, south to Cambiidge, west to Princeton, thence on to Fauk Rapids and St. Cloud. Such a railioad may be built sometime in the future, but at present the prospect is not very flat tering. ASSIST EACH OTHER. Lend a hand to one another In the daily toil of life When we meet a weaker brother, Let us help him in the strife. There is hone so rich but may, In his turn be torcud to burrow Aud the pcor man's turn to-day May become our own to-morrow. Lend a hand to one another When malicious tongues have thrown Dark suspicions on your brother, Be not prompt to cast a istone. There is Done so good but may Run adrift in shame and sorrow, And the best of men to-day May become the worst to-morrow. Lend a hand to one another In this race for honor's crown Should it fall upon your brother, Let not envy tear it down. Lend a hand to alt I sy, In their sunshine and their sorrow, And the prize we've lost to day May become our own to-morrow. The young man who boasted he could marry any girl he pleased, found he could not please any. A young woman applying for the situation of governess to a village school, being questioned by the cler gyman as to lit-r qualifications, replied "I ain't much of an arthmeticker, but I'm an elegant grammarest." II. F. Barker is making quite a visit in Princeton. He went over to learn to talk English, and it is repotted he had a hard time conversing with his girl, on his arrival at that burgb.

Our Henry. It is reported that one of our new ly elected county officers is about to contract a matrimonial alliance with an interesting young school teacher. Misfortunes uever come singly. Isanti County Press. It won't do for the Kanucks to fol low the Americans and call the new Governor General and his wife, the Queen's daughter, the two L.

A little girl who resides in the low er part of the city, got off a good one on Dr. Dunham, not a great while ago There had been an addition to thein family, and the little girl with pride iu telling about it, said "Mamma was vdry sick and she was so good about taking the medicine, that Dr. Dunham gaive her a baby. Wasn't ho kind?' ~Anoka Union. The Rush City Post says that "A. P. Barker, the recently elected county attorney of Isanti county, has moved to Cambridge for his permanent reii- d*nce." It is a mistake, Mr. Post. A. P. Barker is content to reside in Prince ton. Tt is his brother, H. F. Barker, who has located in Cambridge. A. W.

Little Falls Transcript. The Mille Lacs Indians were paid their annuities some five weeks ago and ever since that time, about half of what Indians there are in the vicin ity of the lake, manage to keep glori ously drunk. One day last week, while three or four of the braves were on a drunken spree, they attempted to murder a white man who was camped on the south shore of the lake, looking after hay. We do not mean to insin uate that Roy and Sylvester furnish the Indians with whiskey but we are, reliably informed that parties from Rich Prairie and that vicinity, make it a business to supply the red skins with fire-water. At any rate our in formant alleges that all the drunken Indians come from the direction of Rich Prairie, and it is the general un derstanding among the lumbermen, that Rich Prarie and Little Falls, are the places where the whiskey comes from. This matter is deserving of the special attention of the Indian agent, Major Ruffee. Wendell Phillips says: "I believe in the people, in universal suffrage, as fitted to secure the best results hu man nature leaves possible. If cor ruption seems rolling over us like a flood, mark, it is not the corruption of the humble classes it is millionaires who steal banks, mills and railways. It is defaulters who live in palaces and make way with millions. It is money kings who buy up congress It is demagogues and editors, in fine linen, who bid $50,000 for the Presi dency itself. It is greedy wealth which invests its thousand millions rum to coin money out of the weak ness of its neighborsThese are the spots where corruption nestles and gangrenes the State. If humble men are corrupted, these furnish the over whelming temptations. It ist the UNION. That oily-tougucd carpet-bagger, H. M. Atkins, who ru*.is the litt'e Elk River Star, is badly out of sorts since he was beaten out of sight for the Au ditorsliip of Sherburne county. Since the people down there gave him the cold shoulder, he feels very lonesome and cross, and can't bear to see any of his neighbors feel in good humor con sequently in the last issue of his tre mendous "organ" he tells how badthe our rooster and Salt River steamer made him feel and with tears run uing down his ponderous CHEEK, deep ly deplores the defeat of Caley, Bly and Atkins our roosters have given him and the Brainerd Tribune editor the black vomit, and it is running freely all over their repulsive dish-rags.

Be sure to look at his goods, and get prices, before purchasing elsewhere he hasThursday just wiiat the lumbermen want in this line. MARRIED: Chase, Crook. At Princeton, Nov. Wth by S. M. Justice, .T. P., Mr. George W. Chase, of Benton county, to Miss Ama J. Crook, of Mille Lacs. The happy pair have the best wishes es of all their friends. H. C. Stivers, of the Little Falls Transcript, is an honest man if he is an editor about ten days previous to election, on our own responsibilityof course Mr. Caley re-emhursed.u? while Mr Caley was away from borne, we sent $5 to Mr. Stivers, asking him to print and distribute a few hundred tickets for D. A. Caley but Mr. Ca ley had previously seen Mr. Stivers, and arranged for tickets. About a week or ten days after elec tion, we received a letter with a $5 bill enclosed, from Mr. Stivers, stat ing that he had distributed all the Caley ticket? that were necessary, and he did not feel justified in taking pay for work he had not pejrfornied. He Wanted "a Licence for a Woman." One day last week, while Dr. Gile was siting snugly ensconced iu a chair in the drug store, toasting his shins at the stove and serenly contemplating good times that were i store for Princeton when the narrow-gauge railroad would be built, was start led from his reveiie by the sudden ap pearance of Granger-looking uncouth youth attired in home-spun grey, boil ed shirt, paper collar, with four yarns of musliu for a cravat, there was a strange unnatural brightness about hw eyes, his hair was slicked up with lard oil, he wore a slouch hat while his feet were encased in No. 12 cow hide brogans he reached down and whimpered into the Doctor's left hear ing appenda-e thusly: "Are ycu Cailor or Taylor, the lawyer fellow! The man that g.ves a fellow licence for a woman. I want to have the thing done on the sly." Doc is, a 250 pounder and when he laughs he laughs all over, but now he fairly roared, he caused the store to shake as though it had beeu rocked by a young earth quake. Clerk of court Caley, who had stood grinning behind the countir witnessing the whole performance, now came to the relief of the sorely puzzled Granger. To him the youth related a story similar to the one he had just'poured into the Doctor's ear. Dan managed to keep a straight face, but it cost him quite an effort, while he enquired of the youth what was the girls name, "Its none of your busi ness it's all arranged between me and her, and we don't want every galoot to know it." was the reply. Now it was Dan's time to neigh,' and in this He excelled the Doc. At length, by a deal of persuasion, Dan succed in get ting the unsophiticated-chap to answ. er the necessary questions, the license was granted aud the-soo::-to-be-bride* groom departed on hi* way rejoicing. Scott, Burns, byron, i cnayson and Moore, elagantly bound, at the Drug Store just the the thing for a nic* Christmas present. The Board of Town Supervisors, as will be seen by new advertisement have extended the time for receiving: bids for planking the East Branch Bridge, until the 21st, December. Another spasmodic temperance re vival at Elk River over 175 persons have donned the blue ribbon, and signed the pledge. It is all very well and good, but we take little stock in sudden conversions. Honesty is tne uct UJIUV, but for the Almighty's sake let other people tell about your honesty for he that prates about his own honesty, is gen erally a dishonest man. So far the weather is far from en couraging to the lumbermen but there is no use of repining it is a longtime till the 1st of April, and there may be an abundant*, of frost and snow before that time.
