M. C. Russell, one of the^oldest
newspaper men of Minnesota, is about
to re-establish the lirainerd Tribune,
and has bought the material formerly
used in publishing that paper. Sev

newspaper business in other cities of
Minnesota.
The New York Graphic has been
figuring the places that foreign-born
citizens occupy in the councils of our
nation. The Irish-born members of
the next house of representatives are
twenty in number, while the German
born are but seven, although the Ger
man-born population of the United
States considerably exceeds the Irish
born. Of the twenty Irish members
four are from Missouri Xew .Terse}'
and Pennsylvania have three each
New York and Indiana two eaeh, an
Massachusetts, Illinois, Iowa, Kan
sas, Nevada and California, one each.
Out of twenty only three are Repub
lican. The seven Germans are cred
ited one each to New York, New
Jersey and Massachusetts, and two
each to Michigan and Wisconsin.
Two of the seven «re Republicans.
The only State the majority of whose
delegation of the next house is for

The proposition submitted to the
voters by the village council to ap
propriate a sum of money to procure
fire apparatus, was defeated at the
election called for that purpose Tues
day, partly ©wing to the statement of
the agent of the Underwriters' In
surance company, that no reduction

The council did right in
calling an election for the purpose,
but it would have been better to have
corresponded with villages having
like apparatus to that which it was
proposed to procure, and ascertained
the results. One swallow does not
make a summer, neither does the
case of Morris, as reported, prove
any thing farther than its own fail
ure. There are not a haif-dozen lad
ders in the whole town, and only such
buckets as ar« used for household
purposes, and those for sale in the
stores, available for the suppression
of files. Now, when our town shall
have been swept from existence by
the devouring element, we can only
stand by the smoking remains and
bite our finger nails over our own
short-sightedness and penuriousness.

PARKERS PRAIRIE.
Within the last two weeks some
stir has obtained in «ur community
realative to temperance reform. A
Mr. James Irish, of your town, came
into our quiet village some days ago
and delivered a lecture on temper
ance, which initiated a moveineul
resulting in the organization of a
Good Templar's lodge on Monday
evening, the, 12th inst. The organi
zation starts out with a chartcr mem
bership of twenty-one. The prospect
seems favorable for some good work
in this field. Mr. Irish does not
claim to be a professional lecturer,
but he left the impression upon our
minds that he is a worker of no small
zeal. We wish him success in his
calling. We shall leave our latch
string out for him again.

Well, our winter has had some va
riation the last two weeks. Last week
it began to get a little warm. Yes
it actually got so warm that the snow
actually melted on the south side of
the house, and wood-haulers began to
get scared for fear it was going to
break up but on Friday the clerk
gave us another change* and in the
morning it began to snow, and before
10
o'clock in the morning we had the
wildest day of the winter. It blew a
perfect "jimmycane." and the snow
was piled up in drifts from two to
eight feet high, but at this writing it
is bright and sunshiny again.
The general health of the commu
nity is good. Mr. Ogden has a littl*
one sick. Dr. Tyler says it has got
dropsy of the brain. It is slowly im
proving under the doctor's care.
Mr. Ogden's mill has not put in an
appearance yet. How long does it
take to get a car from Minneapolis
here, anyhow? The mill has been on
the road two weeks.

The road will run from Miuiteupolis

a half a mile below the moutii of Ruin

through the east end of Anoka, cross

at this crossing. From that place
the road uses the Manitoba rigi:t of

Dancing",
To the Editor of the Northern Pacific Farmer
"A time to bo merrya time to be nad
A time to mourn, and a time tp dance."
Singing ?nd dancing are twin fteeofttpjisfc
ments. ana their cultivation cOmcs nn tlrftlly in
the human constitution units* they arp obstruct
01 by internal disease or internal prejudice.
Music is the poetry of sound, and dancing is the
poetry of human motion, and these combined
may be called the poetical expression of healthy
human enjoyment, as their exercise develops all
the sentitnenlal and physical organs. This uni
son of music and motion was anciently em
ployed in religious exercises but the musical
parts- have been gradually modified, and the
physical exercises which constitute the dance
have been almost entirely expunged from mod
ern devotions. But my attention was recently
directed to this subject by hearing dancing
wholely interdicted, under all eircumstanccs, as
disqualiiying any person for membcreoip in a
Christian church. This unqualilie-1 condemna
tion of dancing caused the fallowing review of
my own experience and observation on the uses
and abuses of this popular evening exerci.M}.
The benefits obtained by educating and exer
cising the lower limbs in dancing was first point
el out by a friciul, while, with a party of city
folks, we were approaching a great blueberry
region at (he northern base of the Adirondac
mountains, In York State. Large crowds t.f
young people frequented those romantic lakes
and M- v- aur.i the berry season, end the only
entrance from the carriage road was a precarious
locti»ii through a strip of marsh. Part of this
path consisted of fallen trees and irregular step
ping stones projecting above the mud and water,
These precarious supports could only be traversed
in single rile, ana required good r.erve and
muscle, and an accurate control of limbs to
gauge the variety of steps and insure a sife
transit. In discussing the chances of crossing
over this slough, my friend remarked that a'l
those who had learned to dance, whether ladits
or gentlemen, would cross over with ease £i)d
safety, and enjoy the exercise. But wtyje we
were talking, a little lady, who had fohnerly
been a ballet dancer, was running along the
logs and skipping from one stone to another, like
a squirrel, and directly was dancing a hornpipe
on the solid rock beyond.
In striking contrast to this was the experience
of several young ladies whose physical education
had been confined by prejudice to their hands
and arms. They could walk ow the floor or a
pavement all right but to step over a curbstone
or go up and down a stairway was the limit'of
their locomotive exertion. The various adven
tures and mishaps of those ladies, and the facili-
tripped across lh£ Siuugii, werts ajiimi/j nAwiiu
tions of the truth of ray friend's theory. These
furnished conclusive evidences that, however
helpful devotion may be in getting one out of
The Slough of Despond," dancing is better than
devotion for keeping one out of that slough.
By carefully observing several indications
which this man pointed out, I was toon able to
distinguish an educated dancer—male or female
—by their gait upon the street, or by their easy
tact and courteous etiquette when introduced
into certain companies. To educate the hands
and arms and tongua is right, and to develop
their capabilities is useful but it is equally de
sirable and useful to educate the feet and legs,
and develop their easy, graceful action with a
perfect harmony and control of all the muscular
movements. A lack of physical exercise is one
bane of American female socicty at this time,
and a taste for dancing .tends to counteract this
defect. Young girls who would be fatigued by
walking a mile or two, may be so exercised by
the inspiration of music, and the rivalries of Ihe
ball-room that th cy can dance for many hours,
and might soon rival their grandmothers in
physical exploits and endurance. My mother
used to tell us that she walked forty-four miles4u
a day, when she was only fourteen years old, and
that she felt no more-fatigue than she had some
times felt after dancing all night. How many
young girls who are prohibited from the exercise
of dancing could endure such a walk as that?.
That dancing, like love, wine or wealth, is
often degraded to selfish and sensual purposes, is
true but it is equally true that the little in
trigues and coquetries which girls cultivate in
the ball-room are offsets and safeguards against
the intrigues and blandishments of selfish and
sensual men. "Knowledge is power" as truly in
this case* as in any other, and those young people
whe acquire this kind of knowledge gradually,
as they grow up in the association of the sexes,
are batter prepared t« encounter temptation than
are those from whom all such information ia
carefully excluded until they go out into the
wjria and leaSrn from the tempter.
