Ir. niul Mrs. Col fox returned on nturtlny from their trip to Dakota , lont.'um ami Manitoba , anil express , loinsolvcs . greatly delighted with ii'ir journey , in which every possible Ituntion was shmvti thuin. To are- ortcr Sclmylor Cnlfnx spoke i-ntliu- inslically about "tho nival north- cst ' lin had been visiting the past irco i weeks , and says he never en- oycd a trip in any direction inoro tlry. Tlio linnst whittt-fii'lds ho lias ecu in his travels cast and west , he ) nnd iulXikotn , northern Minnesota , nd Manitoba. Homo of them willet ot yield ns heavily per aero as last ear , but the acreageof Dakota has ) increased that her six million crop f 1880 will undoubtedly bo eclipsed y her eight million crop this year , nil 'hard No , 1 , " while in inanyof the old lates the wheat yield will fall oil'one- lird to onu-lialf. Driving from Far- Ot to ( the now villairu of Colfax , lie assed through miles and miles of heat-fields and oat-tiolds , nnd miles ion of now ground plowed tip to bu ceded next year. Immigration is lling up the lied river valley , which eems us fertile as the Nile , with great apidity. Fnrgo , at the crossing of thu Hod Ivor : liy the two grout rival railroads f that region , the Northern Pacific nd the St. I'unl , Minneapolis and lanitoba , is very prosperous , and np- cars to be. as her wido-awako citi- ens claim , thu metropolis of thu lied Ivor valley. Her population now is vet 4000 , nnd with the development f the country tributary to it , must , 1 n few years , reach 20,000. Two roll-supported daily papers attest the itolligonco of her people. Her lead- ng citizens , doubtless from the olec- y.10. atmosphcru they inhale , nnd ivhich ho enjoyed moro than their vater < , nro full of energy nnd vim , loep apparently not moro than six tours out of the twenty-four , and put n J all : the rest of the time actively. Mr. Villard , of the Northern Pa- ific , kindly proffered their directors' nr for a trip to the end of their track , ' cry much enhancing the pleasure and omfort of the party. And , from Bismarck the railroad terminus for ovcral yeara on the Missouri river and which . has developed into an active ntsiness city with a lively daily paper , 1011 Merrill , who commands in thai nrofl"region , accompanied the party o the ! front. The Northern Pacific railroad has ust bean opened to Glendivo , on the I'ellowstono river , Montana territory , early 700 miles west of Duluth , and , mder its present vigorous manange- lent , will bo com ] ileted to the Pacific ' cean to Pugot's sound in ISSif. Tlioellowstono river , Mr. Colfax ays . . , is far moro beautiful than the Missouri , of which it ia tributary , .uid , in its high banks nnd fine beach , ' eminded him of our own S1 , . Joo. It s navigated by large steamers for sov- ral hundred iniles above Glendivo ind ho saw on its levee 40,000 hnll'alo obes from buffaloes slaughtered near hero , last winter. Glondivc , although nit a few weeks old , has nearly one lundrcd buildings in it , and will prob- ibly live and crow oven when the railroad is opened beyond it. Tlio "Bad lands nro quite unique in their remarkable conformation , but noth- "S like as "bad" na the Eittorcreuk region , on the Union Pacific railroad. Indeed , a great deal of excellent pasture iun land is to bo found there , and Mr Colfax likes the suggestion that it bo rcchriateiied "Pyramid Park. " AVinnopeg the capital of the British provinces of Manitoba , which in 1870 ind but n few hundred inhabitants , HOT numbers twelve thousand , with two excellent daily papers , and is full Ofl lifo and activity. Itcal estate is oti "boom" there , auctioneers selling lots at auction on the streets every evening , nnd business lots changing hands at § 050 , nnd oven ns high $8125 or front foot. The city is beautiful ly located at the junction of thu As- sinniboin river with the Rod river , ind is the headquarters for thu Cana dian Pacific railroad , now being rap idly built toward Vancouver's ' island. Thu manager of the Canadian Pacific railroad. A. B. Stickney , Esq. , very handsomely profl'erod their directors' car to Mr. C. and his party , nnd they went on it with a special engine nearly hundred miles to western Mani toba , finding as splendid wheat fields out there as further south in Minnesota and Dakota. Consul Taylor who accompanied the party , gave Mr. Colfax some specimens ot wheat raised the Peuco river region , twelve hun dred miles northwest of Winnipeg , in the almost arctic latitude of 00 do- north. It was planted on May 25th nnd harvested September 1st , maturing in ninety-five days. of Mr. Hanghoy , of Indianapolis , who with his wife accompanied Mr. nnd Mrs. Colfax ) being grand treas urer of the Odd Fellows of this state , the British Odd Follows ot Manitoba welcomed the party with great cor diality , mooting them at the depot witli n procession , besides having the banncis of the two nations stretched across the principal street and giving no two receptions. I foil. J. W. Taylor , our United Status con there , accompanied the party to , , , residenceof ( Jov.

And then , regretting W they could 'not extend their visit an en other month the ad , party returned to their Indiana homes , ' " J an The Siamese Tiyiiii Eclipsed dc Washington filar , J-Vlda ) to There was some commotion this Ba morning at the Baltimore , and Pete fn depot on the arrival of the south 0 tram , when there debarked a colored - an ored woman , or two colored women , aru she or they possessed two heads , di four arms and four logs , and yet are in closely joined that ( it is said ) one 101 backbone serves for both She or they came tip from the neiglitx of Wilmington , N.

An Xi'tt \ ori Time * . One of the fnahional most < ! i > wed dings that have occurred in the village - lago of Astoria * Ltmif Island , during the present season , was that f Mr. Charles Wesley AyorsandMm llattie Cole , whicli took place June : 'J. The young couple , on returnim ; frmn their woddini ; tour , occupied asuit nf rooms at the Thorbourn Ilousu in Astoria. After awhile it became apparent to the guests in the house that the couple were not well mated. Mr. Aycrs was disinclined to social enioyinmt and kept himself secluded , while Ins \vifo was quite the reverse , being fund of society Thus matters \\out tin for a few days , when some of tlu-i-nests bewail to comment upon the f.icl that the young couple rarely tcn > k their meals together. A week ago yester day Mr. Ayers , without i-ousulting his wife , niiido arrangements to go \yith his wife to her parents' hninu 'to live , Mrs. Ayers , on hearing nf this the following morning , oxpu'ssed her dissatisfaction at such n plan , and finally said that she could lint bo in duced to return to her parenti' home to live , as when she left it she believed that she was to have a home of her own. On Mr. Ayers doclarini'tliatho would carry out his intention his wife donned her walking costume and took her dopartHiro , leaving her \\eddim ; rinn behind. Mr. Ayers wont to his father-in-law's residence near by. As soon as Mrs. Ayers' parents learned of her disappearance search was made for her , and on Sunday night her bro ther discovered her at the house of a friend in Harlem. Ho siiccwclod in persuading her to return to her fath er's homo in a coach. On arriving at the Cole residence in Astoria Mrs. Ayers had violent hysterical fits , ami medical aid was summoned. lleforo her departure from the Thoburn house she exhibited symptoms of hys teria. The parents of the young cou ple endeavored to bring about a recon ciliation , but to no purpose , as Mr. and Mrs. Aycrs declared that they would not live together again. As Mrs. Ayers grow worse her sanity was questioned , and finally Drs. Traskund Taylor pronounced her of unsound mind , and it was decided to place her in the asylum at Itloomingdalo. The unfortunate young lady is 22 years of a < ; e. Her husband , who is about the same ago , is now ill at his father's house. RAGING 11OOO MILES. Stoamorn "Which. Competed NowYorlt.

Heavy bets on the race were made at Yokohama hama and at the Chinese ports whore they stopped , and in every casp odds were given in favor of the Glonoirstny , as she had won similar races. In tjiis case , however , some of the engineers on tlio Lord of the Isles had money ut stake , which may account for extra efforts on their part. ' 'It was only a question of a little mo'ro coal , so we shoveled it in , " said the chief engineer to a reporter. "Wo made Amoy in throe days and n half and wore delayed there a week load ing our vessel , while the Glunis cargo was all ready for her and ho sailed in two days. At Hong Kong wo found she had started before wo ar rived , but wo had gained on her a good deal. Wo readied Singapore just as the Glen was leaving and didn't see or hear of her till wo were half way through the Suez canal. She reached Suez a dsy behind us. Wo would have been further ahead if a tor- ifie southwesterly storm had not delay ed us in the Indian ocean , Those white streaks that cover tlio smoke stack were made by waves that broke over the vessel. Wo had good weather through the Mediterranesn , but were delayed by the machinery Dotting out ordor. The Glen steamed into Gibraltor just as wo were leaving there. Extra coal and work wore used crossing the Atlantic , and mod erate weather helped us. .lust as wo sighted Sandy Hook wo thought a vessel in the distance ahead of us was the Glen , but wo were happUy disap pointed. . Our rival came into Now York six hours behind us , and that'i * not a big difi'oronco in a race of four teen thousand miles. Wo made an average of eleven knots an hour. " BIncli "WalnutLumber. Doiton ( Jloliu. short trip among the lumbermen fully substantiates the Btaloinont madu few days mncu that thu eastern furniture - nituro manufacturers nru seriously troubled ut the Bcaicity of black wal nut timber , mid that thuvholo supply - ply in thu United States has now become - como ] entirely inndcquatu to the de mand. Thu difliculty of abtuinini ; this wood , which is ngw so popular , ia great that thu question ia brought sharply homo , "What is to bo lu the future , nnd to what plnco re tin 'dealers ' to look for n supply J" ? Within the last year thu price lias i / creased 25 uor cent , but even at sui advanced figures it is almost impossi tit secure the needed stgck. A few years since a man would go west and purchase r > 00,000 feet of ono dealer , but now lie must journey from town to town , picking up u few thou sand feet wherever ho may chance to find any for Bale , and accounting himself - self lucky if ho obtains thu desired amount ut almost any cost. There dealers always ready to pounce down on any lot of walnut Unit a fur- mer may wish to dispose of , and as one of our dealers said : "If you got ; your eye on a few hundred fcot you must sit down on it immediately , nnd stay there until you clinch the bar gain , for if you leave it. for nn instance some one else will take advAiita o of 'your absence , and when yon return yon will to n certainty 'tlnd it ' " gone. The supply in the country wna nev er very large , not avenging more than ono tree to the acre , and such has Veen the demand that now slates in which it formerly abounded are almost en tirely denuded , nnd in ninny ( if tluoo from which the present supply come * it has to be hauled across the country for a distance of twenty or thirty miles. Tim principal sources of sup ply were formerly Canada West and Indiana , hut they nro now denuded , and tl'o lumbermen bad to go further south into Missouri , Kentucky , Ten nessee and Kansas , where the wood obtained is considerably inferiorseem- ingly deteriorating in quality farther south it grows. Not only Imvu east ern dealers this scarcity to contend against but , as before stated , the western manufacturers , bein.u on thu spot , secure t he lion's share and leave their eastern competitors out in the cold. In fact , comparatively but little - tlo work in done hero ; if a man wish es a nice walnut sot and scndri his or dor into a dealer it will bo turned out for him , but otherwise little work is done. Hutternut ban boon substitut ed to soiuu client , and when it can bo obtained of the best quality 5 equal , and by some considered superior to walnut , but as it can seldom be ob tained without llawH it can never take the place among furniture manufac tures of thotime-honored walnut.

If thu con vention is to do nothing moro for our rivers than the D.ivunport convontioii did , it would bo folly to call it. At Davenport wo were simply "bain- boozltid. " Unt wo could do moro if n number of thinys tire lirst ugcud upon by those who uro pushing llio matter. Among these the nuKst important are , perhaps , lliat the Convention should be called at St. Louis , UM the city most interested in both rivers and able to furnish the largest experience in regard to their need and requirements ; second , that no plan or suggestion should come up before the Convention which hu.s not in view n complete , thorough regula tion of the chanuulu and bunks of the two rivers ; finally , that the work should begin at once and pushed on with the utmost celerity. Were the convention held at another place than St. Louis , wo wliould bo treated to the same string of resolu tions thit ; have been passed by so many river conventions , petitioning congress to appropriate some utterly insignificant amount of money of money for the improvement of our two rivers at such and such points , etc. , all of which does not amount tote to a row of pins , us thu saying noes. Besides , our best river men would re main at home , St. LouisaiiB being proverbially Inxy , and the convention would occupy itself chiefly like that of Davenport , in spucch-nmkint : . Every one ia perfectly convinced that those rivers should be taken hold of by the government , and that their permanent improvement and reuula- Uon are of the utmost importance to all the people of the United States. What is wanted is concerted and in telligent action on the subject of get ting congress to pass the necessary bill and raising the necessary money , whicli , as it must amount teat at least 950,000 , probably , though not necessarily , have to be raised by a special loan. That our present ways of improv ing the two rivers , by occasional dredge-boats , npasmodic surveys and other ingenious devices , are almost worse than useless , timu has abund antly shown. Either a thorough and systematic reform of those unruly wa ters , or none at all. That such an un dertaking is feasible Capt. Kails has dcnionstatud more than once. The mode of accomplishing is the applica tion of his jetty system in a modified form to our river banks , which would confine thu rivers to their channels and raise thu banks to a height which would prevent an overflow. The work should be done at once , because every year exposes tlio people along the water line to thu same disas ters , which last year alone cost these two river valleys millions , enough to have paid a goodly portion of the fifty or more millions that will bo needed. Besides , the quicker an enterprise of this kind is undertaken and mushed , the less will bo the cost , Private cor porations have tin's great failing , that they rarely provide money enough at the outset to complete their works , _ and hciico have to wait for years before they receive any return for their money. Wo have an instructive lesson before our oycH as to the expense of dilatorinoHS caused by want of money in the con struction of thu United .States custom It might have been finished years ago and put to use.
