The g\ mnastic exhibition at Turner Hall Sunday evening, was an excep tionally good one. Many persons are under the errone ous impression tha! liver complaint be longs to the category of incurable dis eases. If they could see the testimoni als showing the cures that have been effected by Mishler's Herb Bitters, their ideas on that point would change. Mrs. Annie Musselman, of Lancaster, Pa., says: "I suffered for ten years with liver complaint, and our best phy sicians failed to relieve me. Mishler's Herb Bitters cured me."

The common council of St. Paul ten redered the members of the legislature a reception last week Tuesday. Invita tions were sent to a large number of peo ple in different parts of the state.

A rare treat in the line of dramatic entertainments will be offered by the performance of Eustache Baudin, a drama in 4 acts, on Saturday evening, March 7th, at Turner Hall. Eustache Baudin (Mr. C. C. Brandt), the hero of the play, is postmaster and innkeeper in the village of Bonneville, in France. His wife Louise (Miss Th. Fay) proves to be a daughter of the Countess d'Al berte (Miss E. Fay). To become the son-in-law of the countess and thus ob tain control of her fortune, an adventur er named Lamberti (Mr. G.Fischer) at tempts to murder Eustache. The latter disappears, and nothing is heard of him for ears. Near the end of the second act he returns tofindhis wife and child in the castle of his aristocratic mother in-law. But he is again separated from his family by Lamberti's intrigues, and in the third act we see Louise kneel u pon her husband's grave. Finally Eus tache returns from the spirit land, and all is well. The serious character of the plot is to some extent relieved by nu merous comical incidents, in which the heroic Marcel (Mr. G. Scherer) and that little coquette, Manou (Miss Clara Brandt), play leading parts. A petition addressed to the Gov is being circulated by Uncle B. Wilson and Mr. Bronson, for the par don of Maria L. Bronson, now in State's prison under ten years' sentence, con victed of arson by one Jennie O'Neil. who they claim has now made affidavit that all of her testimony was false. Now "if" there is a shadow of a sus picion that Mis. Bronson is innocent, and is being wrongfully imprisoned, everything that is possible should be done to clear the matter up, lor it does seem that she was principally con victed upon this O'Neil's testimony, and that she has made an affidavit saying that it was all uutrue, such a person's testimony ought not to have any weight whatever, and imprisoning "^WW^^m^ We cannot agree with our Milford correspondent that farmers do not find the sale of cordwood profitable in New Ulm. The price for dry wood has been as followsHard Maple $6.00 to $6.50, Oak $5.00 to $5.25, Basswood $2.75 to $3.00 per oord. With wood at above prices and Merchandise cheaper than it has been in 20 ears, we do not see any reasons for farmers to complain. As for our merchants buying their wood east of this place, so far as we can learn this is done because farmers are notford able to supply the demand.

Lieut. Mike Maloney, hook and ladder No. 2., and Truckman J. H. Bntze were engaged in expen menting with a patent lire escape. When at the second story, the wiie broke and both fell a distance of 25 feet to the sidewalk, striking on their heads. Maloney was probably fatally injured, and Bntze seriously. The latter was taken to St. Luke's hospital and the former taken cti of at bead quaiters. Chas. Rosskopf had a narrow escape from being killed Thursday of last week.

It was at first pro posed to have the affa'r private and confined to a few, with a lew invited friends from neighboring towns, but as soon as this was announced there was a strong protest. There area good many who are anxious to be in the pro cession just now, and they want to get into the band wagon too. The old tim ers, as a general thing, opposed a pub lic meeting on the ground that it would seem like overdoing a good thing, aftei the great celebration last November, but as they had no desire to make the banquet exclusive in the face of an opposing sentiment, they consented to chantre the programme and make it free-foi -all.

Some verv cold days were experienc ed in this vicinity last week, yes in deed, cold enough to make the tough est old pioneer shiver. It is about time for old winter to leave us as we know all about him and don't care for any more blizzard's. Now is the time for our farmers to prepare their seed grain. Care should be taken in selecting only the very best grades. The supervisors of the town of Mil will meet at the office of the town clerk of said town on Tuesday March 3d, 1885. The report of the town treasurer will be examined on that day. Also a certain number of Bills against the town will be audited. Any person haviug a claim pgainst the town will please forward his bill. Mr. Wm. Skinner our chairman of su pervisors, who 'is a member of the State Legislature and on duty now will probably be unable to attend the meeting of the Board ot Audit. Annual town meeting two weeks from date, and candidates for super visors are already becoming quite numerous. Many of our farmers who are enFebrnajy gaged in selling cord-wood during tl winter, state that they can't find a profitable sale at New Ulm. We behold, lieve that this complaint is not witi out cause. It is true that a good many of our business men are using coal or even wood shipped from the east for fuel in their store and offices, and it is also true that these business men are very glad to sell their goods to the farmer at fair profits but if the farmer offers his goods at prices that would yield to him a small profit, the universal answer he receives is "we can get our fuel cheap er from the east," but could our aver age farmer say the very same thing, he could also get his goods cheaper from the east this would however not be the way to run the business. Let Far mer and Business men go band in hand rtnd 'et a small liberal profit come into the hands of both. What about oar Farmers Mutual Fire Ins. Co. that was about to come into opertion last spring? We fear the child died in its infancy. Such is also the case with our teachers Association the foundation of which was laid at the Springfield Institute last fall. The plan submitted by our Sigel corres pondent is a good one and we should take an interest in it, if our experienced colleague's would furnish us with their worthy contributions, although we do not believe that young teachers are al ways of inferior grades.

The enterprise is highly appreciated and we recommend it to all, especially to those that live in obscuri ty, to school-mar'ms and old maids. From the last number we infer that special attention will be givan to an swering, questions asked, through the columns of the "Nordlicht." Tis is of course, very practical for those above mentioned.

NEW ULM REVIEW, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26,1885. New in Editorial Correspondence. New Orleans, Feb. 18, 1885. DEAR REVIEWMy last letter left our party at Chicago, on the eve of their departure for the sunny south. The two days' rest in Chicago some what revived Mr. Schell from the fa tigue and hardships endured on the trip from New Ulm, and every member of the party was in good spirits when we boarded the Wabash train for St. Louis on Friday evening. Although sleeping berths had been secured two days in advance, we had no little diffi culty in obtaining possession, so great was the demand lor sleeping car ac commodations. Ours was the first out going train over tue abash load that made any attempt since the severe snow storm to run on schedule time. We reached St. Louis on Saturday morning about 9:30 o'clock. Here we found but very little tnow barely e nough to cover the ground. The Mis sissippi river was fihed from bank to bank with floe ice, and all steamboat travel was for the time being entirely abandoned. Even the ferry boats ex perienced much difficulty in transfer ring their passengers and freight from one side of the river to the other. At Cairo, we were informed by a fellow passenger, the Illinois Central transfer boat was from 7 o'clock Friday even ing until 5 o'clock Saturday morning in effecting a crossing. This was any thing but pleasant for the train load of passengers. At St. Louis Mr. Brandt and ye editor parted company with Mr. and Mrs. Schell and Mr. and Mrs.refuse Pfenninger, they proceeding on to Hot Springs, going by the Texarkana route, and we continued our journey over the Iron Mountain road to Columbus, Ky. Our route through Missouri laid in one of the most barren sections of country that we ever cast eyes upon. The towns along the road, with but one or two exceptions, are small and the hous es look delapidated. There,are but few iigns of thrift and prosperity on the part of the inhabitants. The stations along the road are always crowded with a throng of idlers, all bent upon outdoing each other in idleness. The few attempts at farming on a broad gauge system have evidently proved failures. Corn and sweet potatoes seems to be about all that is raised with any degree of success. Now and then a sraall patch of winter wheat is seen. A great portion|of the roadruns through heavily timbered swamps, and some times miles and miles are traveled without seeing the sign of a habitation of any kind. Soon after leaving St. Louis, it was quite dusty. Near Char lestown 17 miie3 from Columbus, we saw the first lot of wild geese, but as they did not tarry long enough to allow us to make their acquaintance, we are unable to say whether or not they were Minnesota geese. A hunter who board ed our train a few miles above Charles town informed us that the woods a bounded with deer, wild turkeys, pheas ants and quails. Now and then a bear is captured. At 7 o'clock the even ing our train arrived opposite Coiuni bus. Here the passengers were trans ferred in the cars to the Kentucky side on a mammoth transfer boat. Although the crossing is usually effected in hve minutes times, on thi3 occasion over an hour was consumed, owing to the large amount of ice in the river. The cars are transferred to and from the boat by means of an incline buiit to the edge of the river. The cars, four coach es at a time, are backed on to the cen tre of the boat lenghtwise. At the op posite side, after a landing has been effected, an engine backs down to the boat and pulls the train up to the depot. While crossing the river the passengers remain in the cars,although if.so inclin ed they can circulate around on the boat Columbus, Ky., is quite a nice city, but as it was dark when wc passeu through, we were unable to note the changes that have been made since the close of the iate "unpleasantness." From Columbus we continued our journey southward over the Mobile anu Ohio road to Meridean. Although about two hours late in arriving at Copart lumbus, the train on the M. & O. was kept in waiting until our arrival, and consequently we wye subjected to no delays. Sunday morning found us at Oitaloona, Mississippi, having passed through Kentucky and Tennessee dur ing the night Here we found more snow than at St. Louis, there being as much as six inches in some places. A fentieman who boarded our train at rairie station, a few miles below Oka loona, informed us that the snow fall in Mississippi was unprecedented this winter, also that it had been much colder than usual. The towns along the road have much the same appear anse as at the close of the war. But few signs of thrift and prosperity are seen. The cause of this condition ol thing) is attributed to lack of laboring hands. A gentleman said: "Our cobout lored labor has left us and white labor is not what we want-" Cotton is the staple product here. Corn and sweet potatoes are raised for home consump tion. But few cattle are seen. The negroes, or at least a large portion of them, have eith er bought or rented small pieces of land and are "going it on their own hook." Very little wheat is raised and it is but seldom that a grist mill is seen. Meridean, Mississippi, 195 miles from New Orleans, where we switched off on to the Queen Cressent road, is the only city we passed through after leav ing Columbus that showed any real signs of prosperity. This city has much changed since the close of the war. The snail negro cabins have given place to large brick blocks and all vistages of the war have disappeared. The stock ade, wherein so many of our brave boys in blue suffered death from exposure and starvation, has been removed, although a close observer can easily mark the spot where the prison pen once stood. From Meridean to New Orleans our route took us through a country heavi ly timbered with yellow pine. The distance from Meridean to New Orle ans is 195 miles. The towns along the road are very small and what the "peo ple subsist upon is beyond our compre hensioncertainly not upon the pro ducts of the country, as we saw but a few acres under cultivation the entire distance. There seemed to be a good plant of saloons in all the towns we passed, one town of 28 houses contain ing no less than 23 saloons, so we were informed by a fellow passenger. At Pachuta, 26 miles below Meridean, we ran into the first rain storm. As we neared New Orleans vegetation became more noticeable, and in the swamps 28 miles from the city nearly all the trees have leaved out 'Just as the sun was setting down in the western horizon we reached the eastern shore of Lake Ponchartrain. At the point where the railroad crosses it the fake is 23 miles wide, the entire distance being trestled, with a draw bridge near each side to allow vessels to pass. The lake is 60 miles long and in many places 30 miles wide. It is bordered on each side by marshes several miles wide, and except ing at one or two places the open wa ter can not be reached. The water in the lake is very salty. As soon as the western shore of the lake is reached yon are in New Orleans, We arrived at the CRESCENT CITT at 8 o'clock Sunday evening, having been on the road just one week. The city being filled with strangers, we ex pected to experience some difficulty in finding lodgings, but in this we were happily disappointed, as by 9 o'clock we had secured a good room on the first floor at a private house, with board, at $2,00 per day. Of course we were more fortunate than many of those that had preceded us. The people, as a class, are very hospitable and so far we have heard no complaint of extortionate pric es. The city lies in a bend on the Mis sissippi river, the river at the present time being about 5 feet higher than the streets in~the city. We were informed that on some occasions the water the river has risen 12 feet above the level of the streets, and of course at such times there is imminent danger of the levees breaking and flooding the whole city. Although a city of 250,000 mna bitants, there is not a cellar in the whole place, it being impossible to dig into the ground more than two fee" without striking water. With a few exceptions the streets are very narrow, and illy lighted at night. Canal street is the principal thoroughfare. This street is nearly 200 feet wide, and is the divi ding point of the city, nearly all tue streets leading to Canal street. This atieet presents a dazznng appearance at nignt, it being brilliantly illuminated at night by tworows of electric lights inuning through the centre of the street, while many of the business houses on each side ot tue street are brilliantly illuminated with innumerable gas jets. Camp and St. Charles streets aie the other principal streets, but neither is as wide as Canal street. Owing to the low nature of the ground, the sewao-e system of the city is very poor. TEe water is carried oit in gutters on each side of the streets. Those gutters, we are informed, lead to several tanks in various parts of the city, where pumping machines empty tne water in to the Alississippi river and Lake Pon chartrain. The streets in the better part of the city are poorly paved, while on the outskirts of the city they arc in a most horrible condition. It is of frequent occurrence to see teams mired down in the sticky mud. Ihe side walks are mostly of brick and not in the best condition. The houses are of an old style of architecture, but are very comfortably and conveniently ai ranged. There aro many points of historic interest that a visitor should not fail to see. The old slave market, with the iron bars still intact, now used as a warehouse the cotton exchange the old French market, with its thous and and one women ibbenng nearly every tongue known the civilized world the U. S. mint the old Spanish fort the cemeteries, where people are buried above ground the Hotel Royal, where Gov. Pinchback held forth dur ing the troublesome times of 1876-7 the St, Charles Hotel the several public squares and monuments the old battle ground and national cemetery six miles below the city. In fact a pleasure seek er can very profitably put in a week in seeing the sights outside the exposi tion grounds. The city is principally inhabited by a French speaking population. Of course there are people from all parts of the globe, bnt the French largely predominate. For cistern purposes there are laro-e tanks erected in the back yards, and the rain water stored in them is largely used for all purposes. Of course there is a system of water works, but it is only the large hotels, business houses and better class of resi dences that derive their supply of water from this source. The weather since our arrival has been very fine. On Monday it was bright but quite cool. Tuesday was very warm, mercury standing at noon day 78 in the shade. This morning it rained for about an hour and then cleared off and remained bright and pleasant during the remainder" of the dav. The most remarkable feature of the climate is the ferquent changes. On some da jou experience 3^ and 4 changes of the weather. The weather, the vegetation and all natures surroun dings here now is as with us in Minne sota the latter part of May and the first of June. At present the city is crowded with strangers drawn here to see the Mardi Gras festivities and the Exposition. The city is very orderly, and on Tues day, when the city was turned over to the jovial Prince Carnival, we saw but one drunken man on the streets. Since our stay here we met Mr. E G. Koch, Henry Crone, Al. Crone, Rev. Alex. Berghold, A, W. Bingham, Chas. Schmidt, Frank Huber and Mr. Matheis of St Paul, and a host of Mmnesotians. In fact Minnesota seems to be better represented proportionately than any o tber State. Koch and Henry Crone started home Monday evening. Rev. Berghold and Chas. Schmidt will leave to-morrow morning for Jacksonville, Florida, going by the way of Atlanta. They will both return to New Ulm a the middle of April, Rev. Berghold having given up his trip abroad. Mt. Bingham is still here. Mr. Newhart and son are here, but these we have not yet mt I will defer describing the Exposition jn the Mardi Gras festivities until my next letter, as this one has already as sumed proportions beyond my inten tion. JoS. BOBLETER. Perpendicular Real Estate. Apropos of earth, they tell a good story of Judge Jackson. He went out to one of the new towns of the Far West, which is built on a side-hill. Real estate was booming and real es tate speculators flocked around him. One of them conducted him to a lot about as desirable for a residence as a perpendicular wall, and said: "There's the place for you! Only $6,000! Ain't it fine?" "Ah, but it's so steep in topography and price." "That's just it," said the real estate man. "You see that lot below itP Well, the man who owns it will have to have dirt to fill it up, and he'll give you $5,000 for the earth graded from your lot." The next day another real estate man said: "I'll show you a piece of prop erty. There's a fortune in it. Look there!" and he pointed toward the lot below the side-hill that the other specu lator had offered him. "Yes, but look at that lot above it," urged Judge Jackson. "That's just it," replied the specu lator. "The man who owns it will give you $5,000 for a place to dump the dirt when he grades down his lot," The Judge did not buy any perpen* dicular real estate.Cleveland Leader. E mbarrassing, "I intended to tell Jane to bring a fresh bucket of water," said the wifo of Professor Nottlehead, looking up from her sewing." "You doubtless mean a bucket of fresh water," rejoined her husband. "I wish you would pay some little at tention to rhetoric. Your, mistakes are embarrassing." A few moments later the processor said: "My deai% that picture would show tov letter advantage if you were to fcang it over the clock." "Ah," she replied, "you doubtless mean if I were to hang it abpve the clock. If I were to hang it oyer the. clock, we couldn't tell wha.t time it is, I \visb, you would' pay some little at (entioa to, rhetoric. Your mistakes are embarrassing."Arkamaw Traveler* George D. Prentice. There is a sort of general idea that Prentice was "a bad man with a gun," a duelist, and all that soi of thing. Nothing could be more erroneous, The fact is he never fought a duel, but was sometimes, from the nature of his busi ness, forced topersonal andsudden ren counters. He was freqneith chal lenged, but always made fun of mes sages. Once he wrote his challenger that it only took one fool to send a challenge, while it took two to fight, and he didn't wifh to be classed in the category. On another occasion he accepted the chal lenge, and having the choice of wea pons, insisted that each man should be armed with a straw and a cask of whisky, and that each should suck with lm straw from his own cask until one ell, and that one should be considered vanquished and the other's honor satis tied. Prentice was an exceedingly candid mau. as the following anecdotes will *how Once Will S. Hays, the famous ong-write in conversation with him said: "I suppose, Mr. Prentice, you have seen my last song?" With a sly and quizzical look at the minstrel, he replied: "Well, I hope so Bill." Coming out of a public building one dav, where there were double doors which swung in and out, a young man, who was coming in, pushed against the -eft-hand side of the door in order to enter, while Mr. Prentice was pushing against the other side of the door, try ing to make his exit '1 he result was a ridiculously awkward halt. Finally, when the two had managed to get the door open, Mr. Prentice said to the stranger: "My young friend, in mak ing your way through the world, if you will only keep to the right you will never run against anybody but a fool, and you needn't apologize to him." Somebody stole the unabridged dic tionary once from the editorial room of the Journal, and Mr. Prentice, having occasion to use that valuable tome, dis covered the loss. Forthwith he ordered that another copy of the book be pur chased at once. "For, said he, "no one but a shameless egotist would at tempt to edit a newspaper without a dictionary." Mr. Prentice's hat was one of his ec centricities. Ho always had it more than half full of bits of paper not larger than a postal stamp, on each of which ho had written a word or two, in the way of memoranda. Besides, he car ried his pocket-knife, pencil, scissors, spectacles and portemonnaie in it, and sometimes, in an absent-minded way, he would put a well-masticated chew of tobacco into it instead of throwing the cud away. Many persons from abroad used to call on Mr. Prentice when they were in Louisville, as though he was one of the curiosities of the city, or just for the purpose of being able to say that they had talked with such a great man, and this was peculiarly annoying to him, as he was inclined to be retiring and real ly never thought of comprehending his own fame. On one occasion an old friend called on the editor, and brought with him a callow young man from some undefined locality in the rural districts. This youth was particularly curious, and actually asked Mr. Prentice to say something funny. The ludicrous remark was smoothed over as quickly as possible by the gentleman who brought the young man in, and shortly thereafter some refreshments were or dered to be brought up to the sanctum. Mr. Prentice had chosen a mint julep, and when it came he held it up and asked the gentleman why that drink was like his young friend? Of course the young man, feeling flattered by the attention, was eager to know, and begged for the answer to the co nundrum. Finally, turning to the gen tleman, Mr. Prentice said with a pleas ant sn.ile, "This is a greenhorn!" Will L. V'sscher, in Denver Opinion. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION.
