Thompson and McUrary. It was

what he will do , nowepaer men may
well give it up.

no difference as to the manner of

tion of its book agency building at
Nashville by Federal troops at one
time during the war. As to the
merits of this particular claim we
know nothing. But on genera'
principles , Euch awards are fraudt
that should not be tolerated. If the
occupation of that building was
warranted as a military necessity
no such claim should bo allowed
The nature of the Institution should
have nothing to do with It ; nnd
even if that question was to be con
sldered , it is doubtful if theolaim it
er-tillrd to any more consideration
than the claim of a pagan. At least
if we remember rightly , the
cause of the Dmou foum
few advocates in Southern
pulpits. The probability Is that the
claim above mentioned la intended
as a beginning for direct damages
frrusrnglive of former patriots and
traitors , and it would bo difficult to
tell just where and when thsse
claims will cease coming in , espe
cially if this one is allowed and paid.
Improve the South. Lot the nation

such a thing as too much concilie-

GREAT BRITAIN is still pushing
the most gigantic preparations for
war. It is probable that in tbe
event Russia should insist on the
terms of peace as now proposed , En
gland or Austria would fight single
banded. In fact , they must do it ,
or no longer pretend to be first rate
powers. However , Russia's terms
may have been prepared on the basis
that it is easy enough to cut down a
little , but impossible to make terms
more stringent , after submitting
them to the powers. Since England
has taken such careful paius to prepare
pare for war , and has been accused
of being willing to do anything
rather than fight , it is hardly
fair for Russia to back out
of every prposition over which
if insisted upon , John Bull saya he
is willing to measure himself with
the Czar. But Russia's terms o :
peace made the world laugh. Bhe
went to war with the Sick Man in
order to protect some unfortunate
Christians , who were ill-treated in
various ways , and many thought
the Russians deeply interested in
humanity , and the causa of the
Master. Now , the Bear has bis
claw on these Christians , ho Bays
they shall be taxed to pay his war
indemnity entirely Deyond what
they were capable of bearing up un
dor. Tlieeo terms give the Christ
fans a choice between starvation un
der their Russian protectors , or bayonets -
onets at the hands of the Sick Man.
It seems to us that , considering all
tbe circumstances , the bust thing
for the Christians to do is to pray for
the Balkan mountains to fall on
them.
THE question known as the frank-
inn privilege has been before tH
oaiintry in one form or another for
many years. Jn connection with
tbe preseut agitation of the ques
tion we are reminded of the anec
dote told of Pcssenden. Fessenden
was at that time the leader of the
Senate. He was quiet , firm , honest ,
and a master in debate. Regularly
( ho house would abolish the frank
ing privilege , and then go over into
the Senatu and beg the grave and
reverend seigniors of that body to
defeat their bill. It was on an oo
CHsion like this that a favorite sou
of the West approached Fessenden
aud implored him to defeat the bill
that hid just passed the Honse
when it should como np in the
Senate. "Didn't you vote for the
bill ? ' ashed thg Maine Senator ,
fixing his severe eye upon the smil
ing Westerner. "Well , yes , ever
so many of us voted fur the bill to
please our constituents , you know ,
as it is a popular measure but we
didn't think u would pass. " The
grim Fesseuden said : "When you
are as old as I am , you will learn
that the reputation of a statesman Is
not niaae by any such fourpeuce
ha'penuy business as this. "
COL XORNKY thinks Stanley made
a very unfortunate speech before
the Royal Geographical Society of
London To say the letst , he thinks
it was in bad taste. However , the
kindness with which the travel
er's ( HBtingutfibed auditors over-
oofted hta short-comiugs is very
cmimendibe. But Forney's de
scription i& oater , and we give
hid own wordy :
11 wish I could wiite as warmly
f it as I can of his great labors and
discoveries in Africa , But it was in
wretched taste. Worse than all , it
wts. uitprepared and he was frank
enough to say so. The man tracing
ila mighty work was , however , the
rue orator of the eveniug , and as he
rorerrtd to wlmtj o had done the
good people around him forgot his
egregious vanity aud his apparent
disregard for the place In
which he stood , and gave
ilui many rounds of Hearty ap
plause. I have a sincere regard for
Stanley and for his marvelous labors ;
but the man eeeins to have lost his
head The company ho men on
Thursday evening could not have
been more distinguished if Benja
min Franklin had been tbe guest ,
or George Washington , or even
Shakespeare or Milton. But either
of these characters , like the liy/ag /
Garibaldi , or General Grant , or
Liboulaye , or John Bright , would
have shown their greatness by that
humility whtoti the really eminent
mind alwavs shows In the presence
of a generous popular recognition.
As I heard Stanley's loose and non
sensical egotism , i thought of the
zaodesty of the lamented Dr. Kunr ,
and the clear , gentle accents qf the
departed Azassiz. I do not wish to
criticise , bat do deplore an exhibi
tion per far beucath the man and the
occasion. "
BLACK HILLS KUtittETS.
The Caledonia mine on 3humoc

IThe Times says that Chicago has
fl.000,000 invested in Black Hills

The daily yield of the Hidden

Twenty seven residents of the

The corpse ot E. D. or "Dad"
Haggard , one of the oldest and
most favorably known miners in
the Hills , was discovered by pros
pectors in the woods between Ger
mania aud Kockcrville , a few days
ago. Foul play is predicted , as the
deceased had several hundred dollars

Deadwood , and it could not be
found on tbe body.
A new mining district called the

the centre of It. A town has been
laid out called Grandview , lots 55

FAKM NOTES.
Cheese should not be made in
rooms where paint baa been recent
ly used , as it has a tendency to in
jure the flavor.
A writer on honey says no pro
duct of the field or farm varies so
much in price , because the uuat-
tractivo manner in wUcb some put
it upon the market causes it to be
classed as a second or third rate ur
tide.
Farmers should examine their
cellars , seeing that they are well
ventilated , and that uo decaying
vegetables are allowed to taint the
air aud engender disease. The un
usual mildness of the winter has
rendered this of more than ordina
ry importance , as nearly all of our
vegetable products are prone to de
cay iu warm , damp weather.
The Elmira , JS. Y. , Gazette , hears
of many tales of Big Flats and
Chemung Valley tooacco at prices
ranging from 61 to 12 cents. Buy
ers come on tbe ground. Small pro
ducers are holding for higher prices.
As to quality , the average is fair
and much better thau the ' 76 crop.
Perhaps two-thirds of the entire
crop has beet bought.
Todroj 5 mu now accused of
producing u peculiar disease of the
grspe leaves which prevailed in a
certain section of Franco last season
after a heavy dew. The dew-drop
being deposited on the tenderyoung
leaves , it is absorbed because tbe
leaves are not yet tough enough to
withstand the water. The dew
drop expands and ruptures the Us. .
HUCS , resulting in a dead spot on the
leaf.
Brain work and that of the clear
est kind comes Into profitable play
quite as well on the farm as any
where else. Look ahead , get a just
view of the position ; have plowing ,
sowing , harvesting and selling all
done at the proper time. Never
hurry , but always drive work ahead.
Know in the evening what you in
tend to do tbe next day. Have
your rainy day and your clear day
occupation designed boforeuand.
Always bring into requisition tbe
full means for compassing the de
sired ends. Iu short , study aud
understand your business , and you
will enjoy it and thrive on H.
It is economy to feed your work
ing stock , cattle , horees or mules ,
with u liberal hand. Do not expect
to get first-class work from them un
less you do. Many men pamper a
trotter or some fauay animal , which
often i * of no earthly use to its own
er or anybody else , aud let their
teams go hungry. It seems the rule
of some men to get as much work
as possible out of their teams at the
least possible expense. This is right
In theory , but it is in reducing to
practice that the treat mistake is
made. The cheapest work is done
with the best-cared-for team.
In n paper read before the Ameri
can jairymen's Association lately ,
Mr. C. W. Herr , of Oiiio , sensibly
said : "No farmer sbjuld hi y
that , after careful investigation , he
does not believe will bring him at
least ? 50 worth of milk during the
season. He had much belter grve
away a cow , if he owns "one , that
does not give S4.Q worth of milk per
year than to keep her during a
series of years , even if ho has to pay
170 or S100 for a five-year-old cow
that will give $70 worth- milk a
year. Poor cows are dear at any a
price ; really good ones , If young ,
are never sold too high. Great
pains , tneu , should be taken in the
selection ot cows to obtain natural
milkers. "
It Is surprising how small is the
number of shade trees necessary to
produce a striking elFect. Ten or
twelve trees , fortunately or skillfully
disposed on the sides or brow ot a
hill , are o ten sufficient to give Itan
air of richness , Larmomzing perfect
ly with a highly-cultivated country.
A single ireo by a farmer's house
protects it and gives It an air of
peace and contentment An un
protected , solitary house gives a
chilly , lonesome , barren impression.
At this season of the year , when
every intelligent farmer is making
plans for the future , let th6 planting
ot a few ibado trees in desirable
spots about his premises bo included
in the work for the coming spring.
Mr. Tildeu maintains with great
irranoss that this country Is deeply
n his debt. It is no more , than
Ight , under the circumstances , per-
lapa , that he should re'use to pay is
his income tax.
OUR NEW ORLEANS LETTER.
Improved Commerclnl Condition of
the City Demand for Korthern
ProdnotionN , Etc.
New Or'oing correspondence Br , Paul Pie
neer-Press.
The improved comraercial'tondi- '
tion of New Orleans , from the openIng -
Ing of the mouth of the river , will ,
1 am convinced , be speedily felt
along the entire line of tbe Missis ,
flippl valley. At the levee , beside a
fleet of sailing vessels , there are sel
dom fewer than five to seven steam
ships from Liverpool , Havre ,
Bremen , etc. , taking m or
discharging cargoes. The export
cargo usually consists of about 40,000
bushels of small grain , with from
three to five thousand bales of cot
ton , according to capacity. The
grain is thrown into the bold of the
vessel ? by floating elevators remov
ing it from bargea. These slilpo ,
drawing from twenty to twenty-two
feet of water pass In and out with
out delay or obstruction. For want
of wheat the grain carried Is usually
corn , sent down from the middle
states , accessible to the river. At
present freights are low , and flour
would be carried for 2a 3 pence , or
about 50 cents per barrel.
So far , with us , the drift of trade
has been eastward , but I think the
time is not far distant when we will
find a profitable account in divert
ing a share of our export trade to
this port. To Hhow what barges
can do In cheap transportation , a
tug arrived here this week from the
upper river , bringing 600,000 bush
els of coal. Compute the difference
of moving this enormous bulk with'
railroad carriage. A man from Red
Wing told me that with his tug nnd
barges he could bring down 100,001)
bushels of wheat.
VLODU.
Among the large bakeries which
use from 690 to 1,000 barrels per
mouth , Minnesota wheat stands pre
eminent above all others , but so far
the price is objectionable. The
bread here is inferior , but it is such
as tbe people have been accustomed
to in all times past. A large baker
told me that bo had tried the mar
ket with the best of bread , made
from Minnesota high grade flour ,
but even the hotels refused to pay
the price , and he now uses the same
flour , about 300 barrels a month ,
mixed with the southern flour , to
give his bread a more presentable
appearance , with but small ad
ditional cost. This will change in
time , as it has already to an extent
in St. Louis. In * ail cities
there is a large percentage who
will afford a loaf of good
bread wnen they find out the
difference. Ten thousand barrels is
the largest amount I have seen
shipped since being here , though
one house told me they had sola
20,000 barrels.
LAGER DEER.
There is a large consumption of
this beverage in this city , brought
brought mainly from MilwauKee
and Cincinnati. 1 have drank the
famous Vienna , Bavarian and other
German beers , and so far as 1 can
judge there is as good , if not better ,
baer made in St. Paul th < m any I
nave drank elsewhere. I think our
brewers aie slow in not making an
effort to introduce their mailing in to
this market. If it can be sent from
Milwaukee at a profit , it can be
more readily shipped from 8t Paul.
The boor sold here is good , but not ,
equal to the best manufactured in'
our city.
If the business men of New Or
leans had collectively the untiring
ambition and go.ahead-ativeuess of
a northern city , I am convinced
the town would feel the impulse of
increased prosperity in less than a
year. The exportation of cotton
and sugar eeams to absorb nil capac
ity of thought. The city would hail
with delight the opening of the
wheat and flour trade , but ia waiting
supinely for outsiders to ring tuis
traffic to their Hour instead of , by a
united concert of action , preparing
themselves with elevators and ship
ping to assure the safe and speedy
handling of the products from the
upper country. Everybody says
this will be brought about through
time , but certainly the time has
long since passed when the prelimi
nary utops should have been taken.
I see "Commodore" Davidson is
taking active steps to supply hio
boats with freight for the lower
river trado. It is such mn who
revolutionize trade , and the people
of New Orleans , whether they de.
servo it or not , may yet find their
European ships loading with wheat ,
flour and pork.

State Telegraphs.
M. Leon Say , now Minister of Fi
nance for the French Republic /or
tbe third time , has closely studied
tbe scieuce of political economy ,
and is the author of several finan
cial works of recognized authority.
A fortnight ago he succeeded in
getting the Chamber of Deputies to
agree to a plan of his for fixing a
uniform telegraphic rate of five cen
times ( one cent ) per word through
out France : no telegram , However ,
to be less than rlfty centimes that
Is , of ten sous , a Freuch sou corresponding
spending with the English halfpenny
ny and the Amerlcau cent.
The rate for telegraphic trane-
miesiou to all parts of the British
Islands is at tbe rate of 24 cents for
every 20 words , and six cento extra
for every five words additional ;
this charge including the name of
the sender and receiver , and deliv
ery within ono mile of the office
beyond that limit the charge being
twelve cents per mile. At the chief
office in London , aud in all large
British towns , " telegrams are
received and forwarded on Sundays ,
precisely as is done In Franca.
According to the new system ,
Framed by M. Leon Say , telegrams
throughout the French republic will
be charged one cent per word , the
minimum cost of a dispatch to be
: en cents , and a uniform rate of one
'ranc , or twenty cents to be charged
for twenty worda , whether sent
within or beyond the boundaries of
department. Thsse statistical de
tails are not without interest he-e ,
where it has been often proposed ,
without much examination into the
expense aud tbo means of meeting
t , that the Post Office Department
n Washington should purchase aud
work the various telegraph lines ,
one sure result being to obtain offi.
cial patronage to a very great ex
tent. In England there are 45.000 A
such official ? , and the State had to
pay $35,000,000 hard cash for the
telegraph companies' monopolies
aud plans.
Keely , of "motor" fame , after
absorbing about a hundred thousand in

after faring sumptuously , wearing if
diamonds , and drinking champagne
for over three yeara , has at last been
declared a bankrupt , fho Cleve to

Lord Beaconsfleld , born on Decem

account , to a considerable extent
for his uncertain and hesitating
course during the recent Russo-Tur

greatly annoyed his colleagues and
his parly followers when he was

again to have a chance of returning
to that position. An Irritable tem
per , a tyrannical manner , and an
unconquerable tendency to act ca
priciously , where he ought to take
counsel with cooler heads , combine
to make Mr. Gladstone , almost in

FALL OF BEAR TOOTH.
A Mountain 50O loot high Tumbles
Down ,
Ilelona Independent. Feb. 10th.
Nearly every resident of Montana
boa either seen or heard of the fam
ous Bear Tooth mountain , the mosl
prominent land mark in Northern
Montana. It is visible from differ
cut point at distances ranging From
40 to 60 miles , aud is in full view
from Helena and the surrounding
country. The-mountain ia distant
thirty miles from Heleuaand stands
like a grim and mighty sentinel at
the end of the canon known as the
Gate of the mountains , through
WhfoUflowa the Missouri river. Tee
Bear Tooth was fully describeu aa
wonderful landmark of the early ex
plorers. Lewis and Clarke. In all
photographs of the northern country
the two tusks , rising black and grim
hundreds of feet above the moun
tain , are the prominent objects.
The main tusk remaius , looking
lonely and isolated in its grandeur
We are indebted to Judge Hilge
who met the two hunters referred
to bo low , for the following particu
lars in re'ereiic to the fall of the
smallest of the two prong
Last Monday o party of hunters
who were chasing game several mi
lea north of the Bear Tooth , obser
ved a rumbling sound and a quak
ing of the earth , and supposiug it
was an earthquake , aud not noti
cing a repetition of it , they soon for
got the ocuurence and continued
their chase until they reached the
Bear Tooth. Here they were aston
ished by the disapperance of the
Eastern Tusk. This was a perpen
dicular mass of rock and earth , fully
500 feet high 300 feet in circumfer
cuco at ita base and about 150 feel
at the top. Tiiis immense mass bad
become dislodged aud coming down
with the speed of an avalanche had
swept turougn a roresroriurgn tim

leveling ilr The country around is
now covered with a great mass ol
broken trees and tons upon tons of
rocks , many of them as large as an
