*''?3SS tyltozzAa K. W. HAND ALL, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, MAltCH 17-, 1886. The appointment. of (Jen. Alfred H. Terry to be Major General iu the place of Gen. Hancock, seema to have giren general satisfaction. For the first* time in the htetofy of Minnesota a complete report has been secured from all the counties of the state of the criminal cases prosecuted. The report cover* a period of thirteen and one-half months From November lo, 1S84, to January 1, 188(5.. The larg est number of cases was in Hennepin county, the number being 197. Ram sey county rauked second, with 136 cases Winona county third, with 37 cases, and Dakota next with 32 cases. (Jrom this the number ranged down to Pine county, which only had one case. The best showing was made l»y Olmstead county, twelve cases, out of which there were ten convictions, one acquittal and one case pending. The cutting of the Mississippi river banks at Bird's Point, III., has been so great the last seasou that it had placed the Iron Mountain incline in a very bad condition, so much so that a few feet more fall of the river will ren der it useless and the interruption of transfer business positive and unlim ited. The foundation ot the lower half of the incline, which is now be ing laid bare by falling waters, has entirely washed away, and is being held together by the ties and string ers. The erection of a new incline upon the old site is rendered impossi ble by the great depth of water. The prohabiliiiesarc that entire new works will have to be constructed at some other point higher up the river. A few days since a farmer living iu the .southern part of Douglas county, Kan.cuiue into Lawrence with the re )Mrt that he had discovered a cave on his farm that was inhabited by prairie wolves, and from what he could tind out they amounted about 300. He had killed a few, but they would not come out, aud he was afraid to enter the cave. Preparations were at once made to raid the den. The p'ar ty arrived at the place, and turning the dogs loose one or two of them ruslicd into the caye and were at once torn to pieces. The wolves by this time were alarmed, and such a howl ing as was kept up was never heard before. The farmer stated that he knew a place about 200 yards back from the entrance where in a short time a hole could be dug and the an imals driven out in this way. A grand hunt by the farmers was inaug urated and oyer one hundred ©f the "varmints" killed. "I've turned that hired man off," a Dakota farmer to his wife on coming into tlw iioaae, "he was no good." •%'What was the matter—lie looked like a sn.art feller?" **011, he was smart 'nougli I s'pose, but he didn't know notliin' 'bout farrnin'. The blam'd fool didn't know 'nougli to water the horses. I told bim to go out and clean up some seed wheat and I'm darned if lie didn't ask me where the soap was." "I don't know what'll become of the poor feller—'pears 'sif he couldn't get lys livin' on a farm nohow." Oh, don't you worry 'bout him, Sa qr» He'll fool 'round till spring and then go and start an agricult'ral paper eoniew'ere. ELECTION RETURHS. RENDSXILE. Supervisors,—H. H.

A tielffrr calf intended for a ooW, says the National Stockman, should be trained from birth with this end in view and be made gentle and tract able by sufficient handling. It should be taught to lead, to stand tied, and allow anyone to approach and handle it at pleasure, ^calf treated iu this way will make a gentle and valuable cow, and one which will not kick over the milk pail aliout the time it is filled with rich milk. .Such atteutiou to the training of the young heifers will pay especially if they are intended for family cows. An exchauge says: At no season of the year does stock require more liberal and judicious care than from now on until grass reaches sufficient age to afford nourishment. Whether it be a growing animal, a cow iu iniik or a work team, it matters not, all should be warmly housed, particular ly on stormy days, closely watched to^iote the first indication of loss of appetite or other indication of want of vigor or indisposition, while the supply of food should be liberal and varied. The important point is to .carry the animals through to grass in good health and hearts, with all their functions active and vigorous,—an easy thing to do if only proper care is exercised. The horse is one of the most superb ly perfect of Nature's works, viewed physically aud he occupies besides an exalted position among animals as to his intelligent aud moral qualities. It is therefore most painful so see how under the handling of intelligent man, he is maltreated and even abused. He submits his neck to the yoke uncomplainingly he accepts the iron-plating of his feet and he allows the galling check upon the move ments ot his head, aud yet gives man his best service even to the death. The ignorant smith has his views as to what should be the shape of his feet so he cuts and rasps, and forms them to suit himself. He has an idea that the hoof is made on purpose for him to rasp and shoe, and oxercise all the tools of his trade upon. So he makes a shoe and fits the hoof to it he removes the natural polished ex terior, which by its tough elasticity defends the tender parts from injury, is nearly impervious to water, and permits a little evaporation of intern al moisture, by which it is*kept nor mally pliable and vitalized to the very surface. He rounds and smooths oft the new surface leaves it in a condi tion to allow the moisture of the hoof to pass off /apidly, and the hoof to dry and .crack, and thus he recom mends the application of tar and grease and lamp-black, as if he were trying to render an old boot pliable and presentable. The greasing may be well enough—better than nothing —after the mischief is done. But why do sensible horse-owners allow the evil which their peremptory orders, if not their mere remonstrances, would pre ven fc ?—America^ Agricul u rist.

Samuel Barstow, Lan caster, Wisconsin. Good Advice to Conn try Boys. Every man who Jived in New York and has acquaintances in the rural dis tricts knows that the majority of coun try boys and j'oung men think that the golden opportunity of life is a chance to enter business in a large city. It is also a fact that country boys who come to the city are reasonably sure to wear away the best years of their lives be fore they realize that they would have succeeded better had they remained at home. THe following bit of advice, which the Nashville American offers, is worth preserving for use in cases of special application: "Intelligent boys in the country, however poor, should take comfort Let them consider their present hard ships as a gymnasium for the develop ment of their many qualities of mind and body. Let them practice industry and honesty, acquire knowledge, culti vate decision of character, suffer pa tiently and endure cheerfully priva tions and self-denial, labor with a sin gleness of purpose and strengthen their characters by winning success in every undertaking, however small. Let them cnltivate habits of thrift, economy and persistency, and their time of influence and power will come—come as surely as effects follow cause, as wealth fol lows prudence and industry, as intelli- fence B, Brown Golden sad T. i v follows inquiry, as light follows arkness."—New York Herald.

Miss Orinthia Brown set down her teacup with an emphasis that made all the china rattle. And little Mrs. Meeker jumped nervously at tie sound. ••1 nevor heard anything so ridicu lous iu all my life." said Miss Brown, derisively. '•Gilbert Mott iu love with Georgia Arlington! Why, sha's a mere doll, with big blue eyes and pink cheeks and yellow curls." "She's very fascinating in her man ners," Mrs. Meeker ventured to re mark. "Oh, pshaw!" \yas Miss Orintbia s contemptuous comment. "And you really think he's in love with her?" "Yes, I must say that I think so." "Ah-h-h" said Orinthia, meaningly. "If I only dared to tell you all!" "Dear me!" said Mrs. Meeker, eag erly -what do you mean?" "Nothing," said Miss Brown, with a nod of her "head. "He walked home from church last night with me—didn't he?" "Yes, but "He stayed on my side of the room all the time we were decorating the fair rooms with evergreens, didn't he?" "Yes, but that was because "And—but never mind, nevermind!" said Miss Orinthia, mystei-iously. "Time will show! Georgia Arlington, indeed—whv she's nothing but a child a mere schoolgirl! I know better!" "Do tell me. Miss Orinthia," plead ed Mrs. Meeker. "Is he really engaged to you?" Miss OriutbiS pursed up her lips, drooped her eyelids with a manner that was wonderfully eloquent, but she would*commit herself no further! "Let's go upstairs and finish dress ing those china dolls for the lucky bag," said Miss Brown. "We shall get more money out of the lucky-bag than anytning else, and we must bo sure and'have it well furnished!" While the tea-drinking ceremonial had been going on in the lower part of the mansion of Mrs. Meeker, quite a different chain of circumstances was transpiring above stairs. Mr. Gilbert Mott, who had been inveigled into the snares of the Ladies1 Faiiy/wfoHs volcns, had come early to help in the last prep arations, add, walking up to the work room, had surprised a lovely blue-eyed lassie in the occupation of Idling sundry cones of bright-hucd paper with sugar plums and French bon-bons. Georgia Arlington shook back her sunny curls and blushed like a June rose-bud, as she started up. "Don't go, Miss Arlington, please!" pleaded Gilbert, himself "not unembar rassed. But Georgia muttered some thing about a roll of ribbon which she had forgotten, and fluttered past him ere he could remonstrate further. Gilbert looked after her,with a whim sical expression of despair on his coun tenance. "Now, why does she run away from me like that?" he said to himself. "Probably because she knows it tanta lises me! But I'll be even with her yet —if she won't let me tell her how dear ly I love her, I'll write it to her!" And heedless of the neglected piles of cedar-sprigs and princess-pine, yet waiting to be wrought into garlands, he sat "down to the table and seizing pen and ink began a passionate billet doux after the following fashion: "Mr JOWN PKECIOUS DATILIXG Why are you so cold anil cruel to me? Why will you not let me tell you in words what you must so often have read in my eyes—the story of my heart's devotion? For 1 love you, and have loved you, and shall love you to the world's end, and you must have seen it for yourself during the last few days that we have been working together for the church fair! Yet you will not give me a word or a glance of encouragement! "Is this right, my ruthless queen of hearts? But 1 am "determined that you shall tell me when we meet again whether I may hope or not! Until then, sweet one, I am, half in despair, half hopeful, Yours, ever and unalterably, "G. M." He had just scribbled off this unstud ied effusion when the sound of foot steps on the stairs chased away the soft shadows of his love dream, and he had just time to slip the paper under a leaf of Norway spruce twigs, when Mrs. Meeker and Miss Orinthia Brown entered. "At work so soon!" cried the latter, archly. "Isn't he industrious, Mrs. Meeker?" "Yes," said Gilbert, hyprocriticajly. "I'm at work already!" So he was, but not exactly for the fair. He watched nervously for an oppor tunity to possess himself of the precious sheet of paper, without observation,but Miss Orinthia, doubtless prompted thereto by some baleful evil spirit, hov ered around the spruce boughs like a middle-aged turtle-dove, and effectual ly warded off his designs. And pres ently he was borne downstairs in the popular current to open some boxes of donations, which had just arrived by parcels delivery. "I can easily come back to get it when they arc busy cackling over "the new things," he thought. But—lit illustration this of the futili ty of all human plans—when he came rejoicing back some twenty minutes or so later, the sheet was gone. Gone, leaving no trace or vestige be hind—gone, utterly and entirely! "I believe there has been some super human agency at Work!" thought our bewildered hero, as he tumbled over the chaotic contents on the table in vain. But Mr. Mott was wrong. The agen cy had been exceedingly human—no other, in fact, than mischievous little Billy Arlington, come up in search of stray prizes for the famous lucky-bag which had been temporarily delivered into his hands. Cornucopias, pin-cush ions, Rimmel's scent-ba^s, needle books he pounced on alike, and per ceiving a sheet of pink paper, written on, he crumpled it into an old enve lope, directed "Miss Orinthia. Miss Orinthia, in a rustling slate-color ed silk dress, went about like an au tumn leaf in a high wiud. Tho lucky bag circulated from hand to hand, car rying, as is the wont of these institu tions, a little current of merrimeut and laughter in its wake. Georgia drew a cigar-case, Mr. Mott became the pro prietor of a rag-doll, and Miss Oriniuia Brown drew—a letter, addrcsaod to herself. ____ Gilbert Mott, leauing agaiust the doorway, saw Miss Hrovvn hurrying up to Georgia aud displaying her prize with malicious glee wliilo Georgia col ored and bit her lips, and looked ready to cry, and feigned a merry little rip ple of laughter, all in one and tho same breath. "Why don't that horrid old maid keep away from Georgia Arlington!" thought our discontented hero. "She looks' like a dried up bunch of raisins beside a cluster of blooming Isabella grapes." And, watching his opportunity, he 'slipped through the crowd and edged up to the table where Georgia was sell ing pin-cushions and tape trimmings at an exorbitant price. "Georgia!'' he whispered softly, "Georgia!" A. Brown," which lay beyond. "What larks it will be," thought the incorrigible Billy. "Some of the girls '11 think they've got a love-letter, and how mad they'll be when they find it ain't nothing but one of Rintley's re ceipts or crochet patterns." And away rushed Master Billy, little recking of the mischief he was unwit tingly working to the cause of true lover The evening of the fair came—and the pretty rooms, made still prettier by paper roses and evergreen garlands, were crowded with the brave, the fair, and some that were neither one norfho other. Georgia Arlington, presiding at one of the tables, looked lovely enough to drive half a dozen young men distracted, instead of one, and «*'S* i J, But she tucned her head haughtily away. "Please to excuse me, Mr. Mott, she said, coolly. While Gilbert was staring at her in amazement,a hand was slipped through his arm, and Miss Orinthia Brown drew him gently away. "Where are you going?" he demand ed, rather unwillingly. "Just outside the door, one minute,' whispered Miss Orinthia, falteringly. "It is not in the tumult of a common crowd that such words should be spok en!" "What words? I haven an idea what you mean!" cried the young man. Orinthia drew him into the hall, her head drooped on his shoulder. "Yes," she faltered, "yes! ^How could you for a moment doubt it!" "Doubt what? Excuse me, Miss. Brown, but I think your wits are for saking you," said Gilbert Mott, striv ing to"extricato himself from tho dam sel's grasp. "Gilbert, would you, then, be false to me?" sobbed Orinthia, with the dawn ing symptoms of hysterics. °'l! False to you!" echoed our hero. "Miss Brow* will you be so good as to tell me at once, and plainly, what you are talking about:"' Orinthia Brown's sallow cheeks red dened—her cjies sparkled ominously,as she drew from her pockct the precious missive. "Do you mean lo say, sir, that you didn't write this letter?" she demanded. Gilbert took the letter and scrutinised it closely. "Yes, of course, I wrote the letter! "Then, dearest "Stop, though," he interrupted,fran tically. "It wasn't to you!" "Not to me?" "No. Do you suppose I want to mar ry you!" Miss Orinthia uttered a shrill shriek —but the next moment she was alone! Gilbert Mott had vanished. For the matter was growing serious now. If Georgia were to be won, she must be won at once, before Fate con spired with any other old maid to de prive him of her coveted love. "Georgia," he said, planting himself resolutely beside her. "I liave got something I wish to say to you." "You had a great deal better say it to your beloved Miss Orinthia," said Georgia, tossing her flaxen curls. "But she isn't my beloved Miss Orin thia," cried Gilbert "I suppose you will be denying your own handwriting next," said Georgia, indignantly. "But it's of no use I saw" he letter myself." "But, Georgia, the letter was written to you." "Then," said Georgia, brightening up a little, "how did she get it?" "That's just what I can't compre hend myself," said Gilbert "but one thing I am very certain of—I love you, and you alone, and I won't leave you until you tell me whether the love is re turned." And he did not neither was it neces sary for him to stay there very long. But to this day nobody, save Billy, the irrepressible, knows exactly how Georgia's letter came into Miss Orin thia Brown's hands. The Confederate Capital. Contrary to the common belief, there was no lack of provisions or delicacies in Richmond at any time during the war, but the prices me'asured by al leged dollars were simply stupendous. I do not remember that there was any actual suffering among the people, al though food and drink were of course economically dealt with. I recollect also that there was a bread riot of so large proportions as to call for the in tervention of the military, but the wo men, black and white, who wero the chief participants, were of the lowest class, and were instigated not by want so much as pure deviltry. It is a curious fact that what are call ed the lower classes fared better, as far as provisions were concerncd, than the ofliceholders or wealthier citizens. The salaries of the oilice holders, both con fedtjrate and state, were grossly inade quate to provide for their families, and the wealthier citizens at the outset of the war had invested, almost without excoption, all their available means in the 8 per ccnt bonds of tho confederate government Those who owned slaves, by hiring them out obtained large re turns, for labor was in great demand but tho trouble was that the confeder ate authorities conscripted all able bodied negroes as drivers of mule teams, laborers on the fortifications, etc., just as they conscripted able-bod ied whites for service in the field, and the hire given to the masters was but a titho of what could have been procured in open market. J* Talk about Washington being a city of boarding-houses and mtaurants, why it was not a circumstance to the confederate capital. Nearly every house, and especially of limited moans, was filled with lodgers, and nearly every other house was an eating-house. Tho poorer whites and blacks made money hand over list by cooking pro visions and selling them from stands on the streets and at tho depots to the huge swarms of hungry people who were constantly coraiug and going. The population proper of lliehmond was not a fourth of the vast crowd that daily and nightly congre gated within its corporate limits. It was the Mecca of the confederacy, and the pilgrimages made thorcto were constant in their comiug. Oilicers and soldiers, Jewish merchants, "ex empts," blockade-runners, refugees from Maryland and West Virginia and from counties of the State held by tho federals poured in a steady stream into the lap of tho city, and the people of the city made their living, and, indeed, it may bo said in many instances wax ed fat, in feeding and lodging the hun gry horde. The home guards, organized to de fend the capital, comprised .all the officials in the confederate and state departments, and no man wa| exempt who was able to lire a rifle from be hind a breastwork. These held no drills, but marched in a body, with regular order, to tho broastworks when tho alarm bell in tho capitoi square rang foi th the warning peal of the approach of tho enemy so many strokes, I think.—Murray in Washing &n Eepubliotm. v.

The priest and his deacon arrived, the Jatter bringing a bag containing the sacerdotal garments, in which the priest arrayed himself, ^placing a miter ornamented with precious stones on his head, and a collar of motal, on whicJi the twelve apostles were repre sented in bas-relief, round his neck. He began by blessing a sort of tem porary aitar in the middle of tho room the mother of the bride took her by the hand, and, leading her forward, she bowed at the feet of her future hus band to show that she acknowledged tnm as lord aud master. Tho priest, placing their hands in each other, pro nounced a prayer and then drew their heads together until they touched three times, while with his right hand made a motion as if blessing them. A second time their hands were joined, and the bridegroomwas -asked: "Will you be her husband?" "I will, he answered, raising at the same time the veil of the bride/in token that she was now his, and letting it fall again.

A Iiiberty-Loving Italian. Ceracchi was an Italian sculptor, who came to the United States to per petuate the likeness of our Revolution ary chiefs and sages, and thus to iden tify his own name with the infant re public. His busts of Washington, Jay, Alexander Hamilton, George Clinton, aud others, are now, as mere portraits, above all price to this nation, and they have besides a classic grace about them which entitles the artist to no conr temptible rank as a statuary. He had a grand design of a national monument which lie used to show to his visitors, and which ho wished cougress to em ploy him to execute in marble or bronze. Of course they did not do so, and, as it happened, -ho was much more usefully employed for the nation in modeling the busts of our great men. But the nation was not ripe for statuary—a dozen busts exhausted the patronage of the country—and con gress was too busy with dollars aud cents, lixing the revenue laws and funding the debt, to think of his grand allegorical monument. Ceracchi could not live upon liberty alone, much as he loved it, and when the French revolu tion took a very decided character he went to France "and plunged into poli tics. Some years after he returned to Rome, where he was unfortunately killed in an insurrection or popular tumult, growing out of tho universal revolutionary spirit of those times.— Ben: I'erlcy I'oorc. Alaskan Gktciers. James Denman, principal of tho grammar school which bears his name, returned Tuesday from a month's ex cursion among the romantic islands and picturesque inlets of Alaska. Mr. Denman devoted much of his attention to the glaciers, compared with which he pronounces those to be seen in Switzerland and other parts of Europe to be "babies." Muir glacier, in Gla cier bay, named from the distinguished naturalist, is a spectacle whose gran deur cannot be described—a vast froz en river of ice, ever slowly moving to the sea and piling the enormous mass es higher between the mountain banks until their summit towers hundreds of feet in the air. WThere the point of the glacier pushes" out into" and overhangs the water, vast fragments breaking apart every few moments of their own weight and falling with a thundering crash into 'the sea, to float away as enormous iccberg*, it affords a specta cle which can only be under-stood and appreciated, by one who beholds itwiih his own eyes. From the summit of Muir glacier no less than twenty-nine others are to be seen in various direc tions, all grinding and crowding their huge masses toward the sea, a. sight which must certainly be one which few other scenes can eqnal.—Son Francis co Vail.
