E. BOSEWATEB. Publisher FitANCEhas outlived many dis astrous calamities, and "vc appre hend she will manage to survive, even if Count De Chambord should carry out llis threat to abdicate hia claim to the French throne and the Royal title of Henry V. Now that civil service reform is dead and beyond resurrection, peo ple will at least know that some body besides "civil service reform" -Is reponsible for bad appointments, or the proportion or imbecile or cor rupt officials. Boxai'abtism and Imperialism received a stunning and well nigh mortal blow in the French National Assembly Monday, and It will re quire much skillful doctoring and careful nursing to "prevent it from shuffling off its shattered mortal coil. The amended bankrupt bill which has been quietlj' slumbering in the Conference Committee pigeon holes for nearly four months has at last been taken up. The bill as reported embodies the principal features favoring the debt or class attached by the Senate to original thebill. The probabilities now are that it will become a law. The German vote is the trump card with which the Nebraska De mocracy expect to win the battle in the coming campaign. "With this object in view their organ in these parts has, of late, exhibited unusual tenderness toward this class of our population. "With all its anxiety to soft-soap the Germansthe Herald seems not to lo able to overcome its native antipathy to the people who caged Louis Napoleon and his eagles in a Prussian chicken coop. While the crew of political bum mers who have certain very dull axes to grind arc spouting inflation and other cheap clap-trap to the in dustrial classes, the horny-fisted far mers of Nebraska are quietly solv ing the currency problem by raising a spleudic crop of grain. The indi cations are that they will succeed in getting about eight million of dol lars currency for the crop of 1874, and that will put more money in circulation than forty new banks would circulate, even if they had an unlimited quantity of money to lend on approved securities. For consistent journalism, com mend us to the Omaha Herald. Three days ago that staunch organ of liourbonism endorsed the new departure in Nebraska politics, that has just been hatched out in Ne maha county, and to-day the same paper turns the cold shoulder to the Independents, by exhorting Ne braska Democrats '-to maintain their organization, hold their State Convention, adopt a sound plat form, and nominate the best ticket possible, leaving results to God and the people." That appeal to God and the peo ple, is refreshingly original. Boss Hessixg, who carries the German vote of Illinois in his breeches pocket, went to the Illinois Independent Convention with uu bounded enthusiasm and returned with supreme disgust. Here are his -views, editorially expressed through the Illinois Staats Zeitung: The proceedings of the so-called Fanners' Convention, held in Springfield day before yesterday, are a terrible mockery of the much boasted parliamentary education of the American people. No Polish Starost could have used greater violence to force a horde of Gal leclan peasants to cry "Yes" to all which he ordered, than the chairman of this Farmers' Conven tion did to his independent" far laers. In the Munich Fliegcndcn MaeUernls. picture of a Prussian JleHtenant, who, with angry gesti cuUUob, screams out to a soldier sUmllng straight and silent before him, "You infernal scoundrel, if yen want to talk, hold your tongue!', Im just the same fashion did the prtridJng officer of the .Fanners' Convention call and pound- to elleace every one who ventured to ollfer a DroDosltion looking toward improvement, or who wished to make a remark on any of the reso lutkms presented by the committee. For paper money, against the pro lection of home industry, and for temperance and Bimdny laws .'this in the brief summary of the whole Farmer's platform We certainly need not sy to our readers that we Mftft on such a tflatform. No man who is capable of reasoning will be- I neve isai any person even ji no wore It with a hundred oaths who awwts that the Germans will accept attch a monstrosity of a platform act from honest convictions, sad yfcm reasonable cause. CHEAP LUMBER. The want of cheap lumber has been felt in Omaha and Nebraska ever since the first white man set his foot upon our prairie soil. The want of cheap .lumber has, in a great measure, retarded our progress as a City and State, and does even now prevent the inauguration of many public improvements and pri vate enterprises. With cheap lum ber -we might be able to construct cheap dwelling houses; and cheap dwelling houses would result in a reduction of rents to the working classes. Such a reductioncoupled with our ability to procure the raw material at reasonable -figures, would enable many of our small capitalists to undertake the manu facture of various articles which we are now importing from the East at exorbitant figures. The opening of the through all rail route to the Minnesota pinery regions promises eventually, if jnot immediately, .to-L supply Omaha and Nebraska with cheap lumber. Our readers are doubtless aware that the recent railway excursion to that recion was mainly improvised for the purpose of acquainting the peo ple of the Missouri Valley with the advantages otTered by the direct tmdfi with the lumber makers of the Upper Mississippi. The. Bee takes peasure in placing the obser vations and conclusions of its envoy before the people of the State. They contain much valuable and interest ing statistical information touching the manufacture of and' traffic In" lumber. That Omaha is deeply interested in a direct Importation of lumber from the Minnesota pine regions is evident from the fact that Omaha buys and distributes almost double the quantity at lumber annually purchased and distributed by St Joseph or Kansas City. It now only remains tobe seen- whether the railroad lines between Omaha and St. Paul will pursue a liberal policy to encourage the building up of this traffic It is gratifying asIt is significant, that an Omaha" lum ber firm has already taken the In itiative step by Investing in a heavier "bill of lumber than any purchased by the representatives o'f the other cities in the Missouri Val ley. It is to bo hoped that the ex periment will prove remunerative. In this connection, we may as well also call attention to the supe rior inducements offered by the ex tensive manufactuing establish ments of Minneapolis and St Paul, in the quality and price of certain articles of merchandise, heretofore imported by Nebraska merchants, and small manufacturers from tho far east. HONEY FOB THE LADIES. Black satin fans trimmed with white lace are something new. New shoes of French manufac ture are tipped with Bussian leather. Those very pretty and becoming white gauze veils are again in fashion. Gray, blue, dark brown and wal nut black aro the four most fash ionable colors of the season. New French flowers come highly perfumed, and are alike pleasant to look upon and smell. Many women who aro counted honest steel their jHitticoats, bone their stag's, crib their baby, and even hook their dresses. Emily Faithfull insists that the intemperate use of ice water is the chief cause of bad health among American women. The popular walking dress con sists of a loose sacque and long overskirt of gray or drab woolen stuff with skirt of silk. A Missouri man wno swapped wives with another Missourian, got a cow, a calf, thirty steel traps, and four children "to boot" Cape May has an ancient lady who has worn the same bonnet since 1812. If any watering place can lay claim to superior attractions, it should "ante up" at once. A poor old colored woman in Virginia, was never so happy in her life as when she learned to read a a few days ago, and she went right off and sold eight geese, and bought 28 dime novels. The fashionable world is informed that S20,00.) worth of mirrors have just been put in the Grand Union Hotel, at Saratoga, to enable ladies to see themselves as others see them. The Train-tcaringSociety of Vien na and Frankfort-on-the-Main each has several thousand members who are pledged to omit no opportunity to step on a woman's train, and ruin the dress to which it is attached if possible. Sacramento boasts of having sev eral negro women who are the hap py, or unhappy, possessors of con siderable beards. The iBec thinks these women may be the vanguard of the god time coming when there shall Iw "no distinction ou account of race, color, previous condition or sex." The Virginia Enterprise says an interesting suit for the possession of a baby is going on in iureka be tween a white and colored woman, each claiming to be the mother of the child. The baby is perfectly white, and one of the contestants for it is as black as theaceofspades. As the judge is not a Solomon, the case bids fair to last for some time. We don't know how Dana, of the New York Sun, found It out, but he says: "No French or English wo man of cultivation now-a-days wears Iter carters below her knees. Th principal vein of the leg -sinks there beneath the muscle, and var icose veins, cold feet and even pal pitate l of the heart may be brought. on by a tigut garter la tae wrong place. When it is fastened above the knee all this pain awl deformity may be avoided. r Orange peels, says the San Fran cisco Alta, arc found to be much in ferior, for upsetting parposes, to large California peapods. Our Brevity-man saw a lady step on one of the latter yesterday. She kicked with both feet as'hjgk as a ballet star, gave the peculiar 'feminine scream, sat down, said "Ofaf my," smoothed down her 'disordered at tire, -looked arouadm-ifcUyj rose quickly, shook herself fo-'see if anything was loote, gave a wither ing glance at the place where "she' had fallen, and, with all the spare blood she liadjitfwr face, went on With Iter shopping. LAKE St- Paul, Minneapolis-, Stillwater and Duiuth. Pineries, Lumber-making and Manufacturing in Kinneiota. Future Commercial relations be tween the Minouri Valley and Tipper Miisiisippi Xegion. - Correspondence of Tb Bis. My cursory review of the 9th has already conveyed to the reader of the Bee a general outline of tho origin and objects of the recent ex cursion from the south-west to St Paul, Minneapolis, and other Min- nesota lumber districts, vJThe importance of this new route will be better appreciated oy ine public when they become more fa milliar with the manufacturing fa cilities and resources of the country through which it passes. THE SCENERY along the greater portion of the route is well worth the cost of such a journey, and when it receives its just merits these roads will not merely be travelled by the commer cial public but tourists and pleasure seekers, "admirers of the beauties of nature in all its forms, will flock thither from alLsectionsof the coun try. For one hundred miles along "the road south of St Paul there is one continuous line of bold and di versified scenery. Every few miles one can observe small laues with clear sparkling water, so transparent that everj' pebble upon its bed can be counted. The banks are shaded here and there by rocky cliffs and overhanging limbs loaded down by thick clusters of foliage which, with the various shades and hues pro duced by the different kinds of trees-and. shrubbery, give every thing an indescribable picturesque and romantic appearance. These waters abound in the finest kind of 'dsh; already small castellated bulld in are erected and arranged here .and there for the conyenUmce of the pieasure-seeKer aim tut mvanu. One of the inost roraantlo country places upon the route Is the little town of MANKATO. It is situated upon the banks of the Minnesota river, a stream full of rapids and rocky banks, and possesses excellent manufacturing facilities. The place is the very em bodiment of picturesque beauty. Trees of all descriptions, from the broad stately oak to the tall and towering pine, can be seen in its beautiful gardens. Its hills, grounds and torraoos, tend to Intensify the pleasing effect of Its romantic ap pearance. The State normal school located here, is a line building. This town was the first place visi ted by the ravages of the Indians during that brief but terrible period of the horrible massacres of!8G2. The Indians laboring under tho de lusion that all the men had gone south to engage in the war, came upon towns everywhere like an avalanche, with a view of extermi nating the whites from Minnesota. Seven hundred men, however, 'were soon in armed pursuit, and hundreds of savages were killed. Over 1,800 werp taken prisoners, at one sweep, and kept for a long time at this town, in a close pen. Three hundred were convicted upon short trial to be hung; but through the clemency of President Lincoln, all but forty escaped such punishment. As the train proceeded north ward from this point, the scenery becomes more and more bold, and timber more common. At about soven In the evening, we arrived at ST. PAUL. This city is situated upon high rocky cliffs, on the north bank of the Mississippi. It has numerous bridges over the river to facilitate the manufacturing interests center ed along its banks; the water is cov ered with dense masses of logs, ready to be cut at the mills. The streets of the cjty are hard and rocky; in the older portion of tho town, which now comprises its business centre, the streets are quite narrow, and look, in that respect, somewhat sim ilar to the narrow thoroughfares of St Louis. The buildings mostly, are constructed of very fine ash col ored stone, quarried rluht at the grounds; here and there are fine brick structures, made of white clay, resembling closely that of Mil waukee manufacture; street rail roads lead to most every part of the city. There are many very fine hotels, among the most prominent are UieMetropolitan, the Merchants and Park Place. They are all kept in first-class style and each have their peculiar advantages. One no ticeable feature which strikes the stranger's eye at once is the cleanli ness of the streets, and the numer ous fountains and aquariums obser vable in all private as well as pub lic grounds. One can scarcely real ize how much these fountains add to the beauty of public squares and gardens. . In this, as In many other respects, however, the city is indeb ted for its fine drives, stone struc tures and watering facilities to the lavish hand of nature. 2?o water works are needed here. Nature has provided a lake some distance from the city, which supplies the citizens with pure, clear water al ready filtered. It is elevated in the house pipes by gravity alone, the lake being much higher than the "city; The people here need make ho application to the municipal au thorities, as in Omaha, for permits to remove material; but the stone quarried out" to make a cellar or basement is put into foundation walls. Among the institutions worthy of notice in this city are the KEWSPAPEKS. There are four dailies the Press and Pioneer issued mornings, and Dispatch and Journal published eve nings. THE PBESS is a neat ten-column daily, and is a loose excellent jour nal ; its building and machinery is the most complete in the entire West The building is 130x45 feet, four stories high, and all solid stone; it has every possible convenience necessary for a complete office; even a lithographing .room Is being fur nished. The number of hands em ployed by this office alone are eighty live. THE PIONEElt is a nine-column Democratic pa per, spicily edited, and has the reputation of commanding the lar gest circulation of any paper in the State. THK DISPATCH is a very' enterprising, six-col umn', - eight-page sheet, and is the"oniyone in tne city issu ing two daily editions. Its office is arranged almost exclusively for news business, and is one of the GULF OF MEXICO-TO SUPERIOR. most complete in thatrespect we have seen. Mr. Clark.Tts city edi tor, and Mr. Jfiud, of the Press, has placed us under many obligations for courteslesLshown while there. (THE JOURNAL Js published, ina. threestory brick building, has a moderate circula tion, but from all appearances lacks either ability in editorial manage-, ment or want ofmeans- to' make it, what a 'journal In such a3ve c"v requires. Aside from the newspapers the livery of a city is often a criterion of the life It contains, and certainly St. Paul is not behind in that res pect. Few cities west of New York can boast of a finer establishment than the METROPOLITAN ,1.1 VERY STABLES. Tliis U kept by Mr. Isaac W. Webb, and has paint shops, repair shops, and everything needed, all combined in a 3-story brick building 03x130, and contains 90 head of fine select horses. Single carriages were shown us costing as high as $1,S0Q. Among the other places of at traction, aside from the public square and fine avenues on the plateaus coming to our notice, was BEAL'S OALLERV OF ART, on Washington avenue. This place has a largo floral hall, with an open arch at the front and a beautiful ornamental fountain in the centre. The water gushes forth in foui cen tral streams through a beautiful Induct, and then descends into an aquarium of fine fish. Half way up the fountain is a circular vase with small cast frogs painted in natural green color, through then mouths also come forth small -streams of water. Tho pictures at this gallery are of the most artistic finish. Among those hanging on the walls are two lino photographs of the Misses Kimballs, of Omaha. The tdktfi disnlaved in arranKhifr this srallerv is well worthy of note. Such an institution is an ornament to any city. From St Paul the excursion pro ceeded to Stillwater. Jt is 'needless to say that the scenery is one con tinuous source of "admiration. To endeavor to describe all the various attractions of nature which greet the eye on all sides in Minnesota would require a special volumo for that purpose, and an artist's pencil to make the imnresslonsmore vivid. The arrival of the excursionists at. STILLWATER, On Wednesday was greeted with a band of -music. A steamer was waiting on the shore to tako us up the St Croix Lake, which is only a widening of the river at this point Here one first derives an impression of tho immensity of the lumber bu siness. As far up as "the eye could reach logs lay thickly together con fined within the "west half of the river uhannel by the' boom, which extends up for six miles. These booms form rather a peculiar but valuable auxiliary to the business. They consist of a series of logs con nected together at -their ends by chains and stretohed diagonally across tho streams, and strengthen ed every few hundred feet by log piers constructed firmly upon the .bed of the stream. Every man who cuts logs up the river brands them with a private mark and lets them float down stream. They are caught up in tho boom and assorted by ex perts appointed by a company In corporated by the State authority, who obtain stipulated fees for their trouble. There are In the boom sometimes as much as three hun dred million feet of logs at a time. The rope consumed hnro annually for tieing rafts costs upward of forty thousand dollars. While the ex cursionists were passing the rafts and rafts-men, cheer upon cheere filled the air with greetings of wel come, and every mill blew its whistle to its utmost capacity. Ar riving again at Stillwater, the citi zens received our party with a baud and a most excellent banquet was served at the Saw yer Houes. Among tho nu merous toasts offered was one by the Mayor, He extended ourparty the hospitalities of tho city; and also assured the party that he had bsued special orders to the police department to "take care of us," and the warden of the State Peni tentiary had arranged, if desirable, to extend the hospitalities of that State Institution. Stillwater is certainly a live and enter prising, town, and possesses a vast amount of wealth. Prominent among the manufacturers here Is Mr. Lewis E. Torinus, a Bussian by descent. This gentleman represent the St. Croix Lumber Company at this place. A hasty trip was here improvised from this live city to DULTJTII, the city of the" unsalted sea. In this place every one was disappoint ed. It has gone down very much ; even its last daily paper expired a fortnight ago. The -weather was so cold and stormy that some of our party were arranging to get some dogs and start out in search of Dr. Franklin. The Clark Hotel here is quite a credit to the town, now con taining about thirty-rive hundred population. The only possible trade that might De developed here is that of ILsh. Trout can easily be shipped directly south to Omaha in thirty hours, and by proper manage ment they might possibly be sjiipped proportionately faster to St. Louis, without re-handling. From this point wo returned by way of MINNEAPOLIS. This city is located at St. Anthony Falls on the Mississippi. It is not only one of. the most beautiful cities in the United States, but also one of the wealthiest. No one can form any adequate idea .of the vastness of her manufactures and natural re sources. The city Is regularly laid out with streets 100 feet wide. The residences are indeed superb; nearly every yard has a fine garden with leautiful terraces, ornamental flower va-es, and fountains with fish aqua riums. There is as yet no street railroad here, simply because almost every one has a carriage. We looked here in viln for a shanty. The city authorities and citizens received us in the most princely style, and after spending a half day among the manufactories, furnished us with complimentaries to the theater. The theater building is very large aud beautiful ; the roof aud ceiling are both dome shaped, and present an inviting appearance. There is but one daily paper, TIIE TRIBUNE, a fine, nine-column journal, publish ed in the postofllce building. The telegraph office of the Western Un ion company is separated from the editorial rooms by a sliding window, so that everything is most conven iently arranged. Mr. Frank Mead, formerly local of the Omaha Herald, is the city editor, and Sir. Charles Whitney, formerly of the binding department of the Republican, has charge of that department of the Tribune. During our stay we were also taken in carriages by the citizens, to the Minnehaha falls, 4 miles distant Thewaterfallsperpenuicularlyabout 65 ft, and presents a fine, view. Time prevented us accepting an invita tion to spend a day at fishing, in one of the numerous lakes near the city. At Calhoun lake we.stopped, how ever, to view the scenery. The lake is about a mile long, and a half mile in width, with fine trees here ( Continued on thirti-page.) BANKING.- ALVIN SAUNDERS, President ENOS LOWE Vice Presdent. ben wood, Cashier.
