WhiK the nucleus •isVid.ngon through the smooth and beautiful prairie west of| St. Cloud, I turn back to look at the beau tiful town, spread out thinly, but far and wide, like an eagle spreading his wings for1 flight, to the green verge of the bluffs which here line the Mississippi. It is a lively town though how it got here, away out on What most people ihink the farthest edge of the frontier, sce'ms a little strange to the ?asual observer. None of your sickly, mushroom vegeta lions this, but a sapling of vigorous and lusty growth, firmly rooted iu the strong Teutonic subsoil which is the ethnological base o'f 'tile county of Stearns, while the riihmtfulfi'bf Vbukgc wit which overlies it furnishes the luxu'rirfrit 'SWd Vapid growth.

JtESOUKCKS OF TI1E COUNTRY. Of course, I am not trying to account for St. Cloud, by these ethnological meta phors. 13ack of ethnology in the chain of caVuftiio'ft—though some of our philoso phers dbnl scte it—lies geography,' %'nd back of the St. Ctatld WWcliman and Yan kee lies the woudrously beautiful Sauk Valley west aad sottth "of it, millions of acrts, like it, of the best soil in 4hq world in which there lies stores of undeveloped wealth, suflicicut „o make the whole green plateau on Which St. Cloud is scattered, up and down for two or three miles along the river, one thronged and compact mart of golden grain. J_ l-w—rxiVlAlS "SUAItET Just now, however, the Agricultural re sources of the district for which St. Cloud is the emporium, have little to dtt with the hubbub of business in its streets. The Indian scare this summer has paral yzed the agricultural industry of this re gion, and St. Cloud has become the depot of supplies for the chain of military posls which stretch thence westward to Aber crombie, and southward in several direc tlons, as it is'the depot for the trade and travel to the lied River Valley.

WHAT ST. CLOUD WILL fiE. The immense trains now moving back waid and forward over the broad plains between St. Cloud and the Red River arc deepening the track, laid out by Burbank and Rlakeley four years ago when wc pas. sed over it, of a future cotumercc which is destined to make St. Cloud one of the lar gest commercial cities in the State. Its geographical position, relative to the head of Lake Supcifor, and' tire nftfldtJf naviga tion rjtt the Mississippi, gives- it the com mand of both the great outlets toward the East, It occupies, so, to speak, the conflu ence of two great commercial currents, and when the railroad vfrom St. Cloud to St. Paul and the Land Railroad from Stl Cloud to Superior are completed, it will spring alonce lo the r#nk.\of the-chief interior. em porium of all the trade of the North-west II.

This band is purposely for the Hospital, and plays several hours each day. Near the entrsticc is a fountain built of stones, but rievertlielcss looking quite picturesque. Tho Dbctdr'iJbfaductcd us first iuto one ofVlc dintng bails, wliich runs the whole length 'of tho building. On the tables, scoti're'fi 'clca'n andwh'itc, were tin 'plates' and cups 'arranged as for supper. Thel wards open out into these halls. Each ward, looking lifcc another large hall, con tains sixty bed", with two small rooms par titioned oil' at the enMauce, one for the"Stone ward master and one for the sister. The only nurses allowed in the establishment are sisters. Most of tho wards were decorated with festoons of different-colored paper cut in fanciful shapes, and pictures revelling in hues of deep scarlet and bright blue pasted on the walls. Everything was nice and clean and comfortable looking. There Were no viM) sick patients, although the Do'ctor said they had aYYliaVt'imc two thou sand. It will contain five thousand, being', one of the largest irdspitats fn t%e VftiteXl. States. We next visited the kitchen,'where were five immense iron pots, each one look ing big enough to boil that fabulous head of cabbage you have all heard of. In one apples were stewing for supper—all cook ing being done by steam- while, by way of sweetening, a soldier poured in molas ses from a' bucket, stirring all together With a huge stick. Iu another, tea was put to draw, e.* it was, full tf hot Water with milk and sugar in it. I told the Doc tor that I didn't believe it was good. He gave me some to taste and it really was nice, only, as remarked, rather weak. "Ohp Vwioined the Doctor, "strong tea isn't good for sick folks." Another pot Was full ef hash. The Doctor lifted «p th* lid, and there steamed forth an appetis ing smell of beef, potatoes and onions. We then went into the Laundry, where the Sister in charge showed us all the im provements—tubs built nil in a row, with faucets to let in hot or cold water and even to1 boil the Clothes' right in the tub. It (.tilhigji O I I I VI boil arid no fire visible. To "ca'ch tub is attached a wringing'machine and they have also a mangle. frroui there wc proceeded to ihe Commis sary department. Here everything is ar ranged in ilie best possible order. The room is divided into a number of compart ments, each designed to hold but one or two kinds of art ides. In one was tea and coffee, in anoth sugar and molasses,.in another potatoes, sweet potatoes and tur nips, in another meat, etc each door be ing labelled with the name of the article. Then the bread room, which, lined round with shelves, was filled with loaves of nice looking bread They ha7e a patent cutter for slicing it and as a soldier passed us with a Huge waiter full, I broke off a piece and tasted it. It was good an1 sWeet. th* JDocWr said Uicy had been Using un fermented' bread, brit that, noW Govern ment had established a bakery in Philadel phia and all their bread was made liicr'e. We next visited Inle Reading Roomy wliich looked to be about a hundred feel •. long, clean (as indeed everything about the establishment was) arid airy, well lighted.and filled with benches. tn one cud was a piano, on which the ladies some-, times play for the amusement of the sol diers and which they themselves arc per mitted to use. Near the entrance is parti tioned off a library,, containing two thou sand books, some.bought by subscription, some presented by private individuals.— Among-them I noticed many of the stand ard works, histories, novels, poems, relig ious works, etc. Two ladies from the city go there each dayj to distribute the books to the soldiers. Their method of doing this attd also to prevent their books from being carried off is this: There are two half- doors to the library. A soldier has a pass to the reading room and a catalogue of the various -works He Selects one from the catalogue and going to the door asks the lady inside for the bo'ok he names.— She gives it to him at the same time taking his pass/' As ho is unable to leave the i!bbin without it, he is bf tJo^trse obliged, to bring back' the bookjn order Iq^ltalu it.
