Judge "rouiul Pays Tribute to tlio Memory of Ilia Deceased Col- IcnRito llnccs Arranged at Onmlin Capital Notes. IrnOM Tins TIKR'S MNCOT.V nunr.AU.I At 11 o'clock Inst night thn jury In the Colo-Miller cnso wore still out , with ap- jiarently no intention of returning a vor- dlot before morning. At supper time the report was spread thrxt they wore almost unanimous for tlio defendants , but from tlio preparations made for spending tlio night comfortably it was easy to sco that Jin agreement was not an immediate prospect. The lawyers on both nidcs have been on the watch over slnco the case wont to tlio jury at 2 o'clock , and , though hopeful , were on the anxious seat. From the peculiar circum stances surrounding the trial , the law points and largo money value involved , thu litigation has aroused 'great interest all over the state. Yesterday , when it was known that the heavy work was to bo done , the court room was crowded , nml oven aftertho jury retired manyspcc- tators hung about the corridors waiting for the verdict. Tlio arguments of the counsel in sum ming up the case to the jury worn ingen ious unit forcible on both Bides. General Cowin , for tlio defense , spoke first , and his every word and motion gave evidence of intense belief in the justness of his client's claims , lending his effort an in spiration that made it at times particu larly grand and effective. Much of his .speech was addressed directly to Lowy and Cole , who eat in fiont of him at the end of the Jury box , and as ho hurled scathing sentences of denunciation at them , accompanied with an emphatic gesture of the hand , and the assertion , ' you know its so Lowy ; you know its so Cole ; neither one ot you davc deny it , " the plaintiffs wriggled about like Dean Swift's snake which was cursed by tlio fish-wife for squirming \vhcnsho was skinning it alive. The counsel for tlio plaint ! ! ! , General Cowin said , lays uurticiiiur stress upon the fact that Mr. Lowy is a rich man ; that ho can go to banks in Chicago and borrow $00,000 without security , and argues , therefore , that he must be respectable and honest. If this is a standard of probity and in tegrity , then Loyal L. Smith must have boon the very arch-angel of icspecta- bility , for ho was able to do the very same thing , and there are bankers in this court room to-day who advanced him largo sums of money with out collateral endorsement. Tak ing the testimony General Cowin went through it , tracing Lowy's con duct from the day ho lelt Chicago for Omaha the first time until the deal was consummated , and giving the logical deductions therefrom. The whole thing was a deliberate , collossal steal , he claimed , planned in Chicago by Lowy. Cole and Smith , who wcro members of the linn of pirates who carried on an illegitimate warfare upon the sea of com merce , filling it with wrecks and spread ing financial desolation on every side. His closing argument was on the value of the stock , tlio lowest estimate of which was $100,000 made by George W. Amos , a witness for the plaintill' . Lowy know Smith never pretended to have more than $00,000 capital , so there must bean an Indebtedness of ? 10.000 , and yet in the face of this ho deliberately Mvoars that he believed Smith's statement that ho didn't ' o\vu anything. Thurston'B argument for the plaintiff was more of a theoretical than logical presentation of the case , convincing rather in its plausibility and earnestness than sound reasoning. Ho contended that if a steal was intended Lowy would have paid Smith $100,000 in cash , and then Smith could have given back the overplus. In this way there would have teen no question i\bout \ the adequate price paid. In the next sentence ho ridiculed the idea of Smith giving Lowy § 10,000 as assorted by the defense , because Smith was a sharp rascal , and would not trust any man with $10,000 , of his money. Lowy , ho claimed , hud lived in Chicago for twenty-two years , and was known as an honorable , upright man. He was not the kind of a man Smith would have chosen to assist him in a fraud. Judge Dundy's charge was quite ex haustive and entirely satisfactory to both aides , something unusual in a case of this magnitude. SU.MMUU HACKS IN OMAHA. The Nebraska Absociation of Trotting Horse Breeders hold a meeting hero to night , at which it was resolved to give two days races at Omaha ou July 2 and 3. Subscriptions to the amount of $510 were pledged by Omniums , and Mr. Mount , who presented the paper , said the Omaha fair association would give the use of its grounds and buildings without charge.

When district court was opened yester day morning Judge Mason , on behalf of the committee , presented the resolutions adopted by the Lancaster county bar , ex pressive of their sorrow at thn death of Judge Mitchell , at the same time making a short address which moved many in the court room to tears. Judge round , In response , ordered that the resolutions iind speech bo spread on the record ; butte to the latter Judge Mason modestly ox- copied , refusing to furnish oven a skele ton of what ho had said. In ordering the resolutions recorded Judge Pound mud : "On this occasion I think it propur to make a fuw remarks. The official rela tions which have existed between Judge Mitohrtll and myself have boon pleasing , cordial and harmonious. Although but a short time on the bunch , he had already won the regard and confidence , und warm approbation of the bar of this dis trict. Both as a lawyer and a judge I highly esteemed and rcspcotod him. He hud many of the qualities , us tlioso who have hoard him Unow , of a success ful advocate , a line and manly presence , an earnest and impressive manner , an elevated tone anil u ready speech.

It is the delusion as to what is nccessa- ry for a home that hinders so many from establishing one. Thirty rooms are not necessary , nor twenty , nor fifteen , nor ten , nor live , nor three. In tlio right why plant a table , and couch , and knife , nnd fork , and a cup , and a chair , and you can raise a young paradise. Just start a home , on however small a scale , and it will grow. When King Cyrus was in vited to dine with a humble friend the king made the ono condition of Ins com ing that the only dish bo ono loaf of bread , and the most imperial satisfactions have sometimes banquotled on the plain est fare. lo not bo caught in the delusion of many thousands in postponing a homo until they can have an expensive one That idea is the devil's trap that catche ; men and women innumerable who will never have any homo at all. Capitalists of America , build plain homos for the people. Lot this tenement house system m which hundreds of thousands of people ple of our cities are wallowing in the mire , bo broken up by small "homes where people can have their own fire sides and their own altars. In this grcal continent thcro is room enough for every man and woman to have a homo. Mor als and civilisation anil religion demand it. it.We We want done all over this land wha Gcorgo Pcabodyand Lady Burdott-Coutts did in England , and some of the largo manufacturers of this country have done for the villages and cities , m building small houses at cheap rents so that tlio 'middle classes can have separate homos , They are the only class not provided for , The rich have their palaces and the poor have their poorhouses , and the criminals have their jails ; but what about the lion cst middle classes , who are able und willing to work and , yet have small iu come ? Let the capitalists , inspired o : God and pure patriotism , rise and build Whole streets of residences , The laborer may have , at the qloso of the day , tc walk or ride further than Is desirable tc roach it , but when ho gets to his destination tion in the eventide ho will find something worthy of being called by that glorlou ; and impassioned and hcavcu-dcsccndci word , "homo. " Young married man , as soon as yo can , buy such n plaoo , even if you havi to put on it a mortgage reaching from base to capstono. The much abused mort gage , which is ruin to a reckless man , tc Uio prudent und provident is the begin ning of a competency and a fortune , for the reason ho will not bo satisfied until ho has paid it off , and all the household are put on stringent economies until then. Deny yourself all superfluities and all luxuries until you can say "Every thing in this house is mine , thank God ! every timber , every brick , every foot of plumbing , every door-sill. " Do not have your children born in a boarding house , and do not yourself bo buried from ono. Have a plaoo whore your children can shout and sing , und romp without being overhauled for the racket. Have a kitchen where you can do something toward the reformation of evil cookery and the lessoning of this nation of dyspeptics. As Napol eon lost ono of his great battles by an attack of indigestion , so many men have such a daily wrestle with the food swal lowed that they have no strength loft for the battle of life , and though your wife may know how to play on ull musi cal instruments and rival a prima donna , she is not wolf educated unless she can boll an Irish potato and broil n mutton chop , slnco the dlot sometimes decides tlio fate of families and nations. Have a sitting-room witti at least ono easy chair , oven though you have to take turns at sitting in it , and hooks out of the public library or out of your own purchase for the making of your family intelligent , and checker boards and guessing mutches , with an occasional blind man's bull' , which is of all games my favorite. Kouso up your homo with all styles of innocent mirth , and gather up in your children's nature a reservoir of exuberance that will pour down re freshing streams when life got parched , and the dark days como , and the lights go out , und the laughter is smothered into a sob , Money Awaits Him.

[ Cor respondence of the BEK. ] Appropos of the improvements that are to bo made in our thriving city the coming season , the following facts in connection with the men who are engaged in furthering them and the advantages offered will prove of interest : Messrs. Black Bros. ASchrimpton , long and favorably known in our neighboring - ing city of Beatrice as men of ability and integrity and thoroughly conversant with all the dolails'of successful milling , liavo leased sullicient power for a mill with a capacity of 150 barrels of flour per day , and will at once erect a building forty feet square nnd thrco stories high , with mansard roof. Also an elevator with machinery for preparing rye and buck wheat flour. The entire works are to beef of the most approved modern style and the machinery the best that can bo purchased in America. Mr. N. S Spencer , also from Beatrice , a gentleman of probity and brimfull of enterprise and pluck , will erect the planing mill and sash factory. Messrs. McDowcl & Knight , who will establish the foundry and machine shops , are men conversant with the business nnd enthusiastic over their prospects. After these shall have been alf supplied with the requisite power there still re mains an amount equal to at least 800 horse to be utilized in the near future. 3t has long been concededthutthe waters of the beautiful Blue river at this point afford the largest und best water power in the state , and recognizing that fact and also the fact that the time would como when it would bo utilized , and through this influence the pleasant little city of Blue Springs would become a town of vast importance to its line of road , the officers of the Union Pacific some years since purchased the entire property and have since held it , awaiting the coming of the time when it mtist bo improved. Owing ; to the fact that the several lines of railroad have been push ing rapidly westward and opening now fields , which , by tlio opportunities afforded for cheap investments , have at tracted emigration , and for a time caused the far greater inducements here to be passed by and neglected , our water power nas until now remained idle , and but little known beyond our immediate vicinity. Our citizens , though knowing that a mine of wealth and pros perity wns located within our midst , and that it was only a question of tiuio when it would bo deposited , have yet at times felt much of "hope deferred that maketh the heart sick , ' ' but now feel that the time of the fruition of our hopes is at bund. There is in the whole of the "wild west" no moro beautiful section of country than southern Gage county. The summer's sun shines on no more fertile region than the Blue river valley , with its meadows nnd fields , its groves and plains. Nowhere is thcro a moro in telligent , educated , nnd law-abiding people ple , and now that the sparkling waters of the Blue are to bo utilized for indus trial and commercial purposes , the pleas ant little city of Blue Springs starts out with a new boom which cannot but re sult in making it ono of the most pros perous and desirable locations in the state. _ POOH-BAH.

[ Corrc- spondence of the BEE. ] About twelve miles south of hero is situated n town whose inhabitants are afllictcd with pluck and persistence , this affliction probably - . ably being caused by the rejuvenating qualities of tlio springs in that vicinity. This town Is named Blue Springs , and has many natural advantages , surrounded by fine farming land , wliilo east , north and south flows the Blue river , which is ono of the best water powers in the state. Arrangements have boon com pleted with the Union Pacjlie railroad whereby the water power will bo imme diately utilized. That railroad is proceed ing to put in llood gates , repair the dam , etc. As soon as the weather permits a flouring mill , 200 barrel capacity , will bo built. Also , a planing mill , sash factory , and machine shop. Tlio Union Pacifio depot is at tlio cast end of the business street , The suit which has been in the supreme court against the B. & M. , and recently won by the people of Blue Springs , gives them a depot nnd freight facilities nt the west end of the business street. Within the past few months a street railway has been built joining Blue ntings andWymoro , which in time wifFmake the two towns the best in tlio state. NANKI-POO. Brown County's Advantages.

The frightened herder said the bandits were all heavily armed and well mounted and that their attack upon Carrizocould be expected any night ; hence the piccautlon of the citizens , who a re pre > pared to gl\e the bold bandits a warm recep tion. As Company F.

CommlsRlonor Sparks' Course Com * mended by n Nebraska Re publican. SitniwAN , Furnas county , Neb. , March 2. ( To the Editor. ] In nn editorial in one of your weeklies about the middle of February you scorned to throw out n bid for a public expression of the people's opinion in regard to the ofilclal acts of Commissioner Sparks. As. ono of the people I have not the slightest objection to expressing my opinion in regard to Mr. Sparks. I have not mot n citizen 5ct in this section that hns expressed his views of Mr. Sparks' ofllcial nets who did not coincide with mo in soylng that Sparks has acted in an eminently proper way in investigating land frauds through out the country. 1 have not hoard n howl j'ot from n settler because Mr. Sparks lias withhold liis patents till lie could investi gate the proofs. I thing nil the howl Hint comes from the actual settlers could bo compressed in so small n compass that you could not hear it with the most pow erful car trumpet in existence. All the howl I have yet heard of is in the news papers , nnd undoubtedly comes from land grabbers nnd monopoly congress men of the Jim Laird stripe. What on earth the republicans of this district elected the Stinkingwatcr Chieftain for I am unable to determine. There Is not a mote shameless hypocrite in tlio public service than Jim Laird. I am a republican , but I can undorso an honest democrat or condemn a dishonest party lender. Of Commisioner Sparks' olllciul acts in re gard to the public lands , I heartily en dorse every ono of them , and if the opln- ions of the seltlors could find cxpicssion you would find forty-nine out of every fifty would do the same. If wo could have had as honest a commissioner as Mr. Sparks to administer the affairs of the land olllce in past 5'ears , we would not have had to stiller the numberless frauds that have been exposed lately. They are everywhere , llight m tins neighborhood 1 can show claim uftor claim , and find dozens more , that have been scoured by perjury. Final proof should not bo allowed any where except at the receiver's office , be cause it is a common saying that the county officers will help you through and half swear the witnesses that is , slide them through as easily as possible. I agree with ono of your correspondents when he says it is a lioly blessing that the settler cannot borrow monov on his land. The money lender is the fattest man in the land , now. If the will of the western settler is observed , Mr. Sparks will be continued in ollico. Respectfully yours , UOUT. A. PltlTOHUTT. "WHY NOT RUILil ) NORTH ?

Railroads may get into Omaha from the north , but if the management of those have other in terests to subserve , Omaha will be plucked instead of benofittod. You are slrong enough to assert your individuality and the sooner it is done the better. Now what is wanted ? Simply this : A railroad north into Dakota , crossing the Missouri by a bridge at or below Yankton , up the valley of the James river , and seeking , probably , Bisr.iarck on the Northern Pa cific road , as a terminus ; then from some point on the road , a direct northwest branch to the Niobrara river and the Black Hills. In selecting the route care must be taken to boldly penetrate the ter ritory already made 'tributary to a rival city in nn adjacent state , and thus to bring back , or rather , tie to Omaha Ne braska counties lying to the north , that would pledge to form intimate trading associations with their own metropolis. The idea that has been advanced in the BEE of a road to Kcnnard , thence to West Point , thence up Plum Creek val ley , thence to Wayne or Wakcticld , thetico through the western part of Dixon coun ty , and thence along the East Bow creek to whatever point may bo selected as the Missouri river crossing , Is the one , as I sco it , that should bo put into practical oper ation. This route is several degrees to the west of north. Ono hundred miles out of Omaha ( perhaps rather more ) and above Wayne or Wakofiold certainly In- * " the ox-bow line from Hartington , In Cedar county , to Sioux City should be the point of divergence decidedly uortli- wcst to the Black llills , crossing the ox bow somewhere between Coloridrjo and Wakoficld. This would grasp and hold firm all that fine region of country in Dixon and Cedar , and counties west of them , the trade of which Sioux City has so ingeniously put herself in wait for. And what is particularlj" good in this matter is , this arrangement will make about the best of any that can bo con trived to connect Omaha with eastern Da kota and the Black llills alike. The pre sumption is , such a road as this , con structed without waste and under seed management , will prove as profitable in the end as that under the guidance of Alexander Mitchell , of Milwaukee. At nil events , it will make Omaha what she desires to bo. the metropolis of the upper Missouri valloy. All the analogies point to this a result certain to como , by thus allying herself with thu country to the north and northwest. S. Trunk-Ijino Impudence. Rew Yorlt CummeictalAileeittser , Wo do not care the toss of a penny for the special interests of cither of the two trades affected by the recent changes in freight rates on dressed meats nnd live stock , and while wo have given the news of the case in full , as wo give the news of all publicly interesting matters , wo have thus fur trained from discussing the quo. > tlons involved in the dispute. But , while wo hayo no moro concern for the interests of the drcsscd-moat shippers than for tlioso of the live-stock shippers , Wo must concern ourselves somewhat with a mischievously false doctrine put forward by Commissioner Fink in sup port of the rates fixed by the trunk-line pool. That doctrine , simply stated , is that it is the iunction of thu trunk Hue pool to tuko paternal control of the business of the country and protect each branch of it against the competition of cheaper or better methods , and no doctrine or prac tice could bo moro dangerous , Commis sioner Fink bays that the pool rates are carefully arranged , so that a pound of drcascd incut shall cost the sumo in Now York , whether it is dressed in Chicago and shipped hither in that form , or is slaughtered and dressed in this city , and that ho explained in n communication to the Commercial Advertiser a few days ago , is what the rates should bo made to accomplish. But why * Unless we admit that the railroad corporations associated together in the trunk line pool are the legitimate guardians of the people , and are charged with tlio duty of deciding what our meat shall cost us , it is impossible to discover uny ground whatever for Mr. Fink's as sumption. There is but one proper meas ure by which railroad freight charges are determined , namely , the cost of trans portation. If it costs more to carry one Jiifid of freight than another , thu rates must differ , and oven Mr , Fink would not contend that the railroads should equalize thorn by reducing thu higher rates to the- level of the lower one , ut cost , of making the ono xmrcmuncrativo. On the other hand , the railroads certainly liavo no right to make nn exorbitant charge upon the freight that it is less expensive pensive to handle , m order to equalize hn two. But Commissioner Fink contends for von more than that. He holds It to bo iio duty of the railroads to make exorbl- ant charges lor carrying a cerUiln kind f freight in order that the price of the iiing carried may bo the snmo at the oint of delivery ns if it had been carried i moro expensive shape. He holds that I Is the busincM of the the trunk line eel to regulate Iho price of bcof in Nc\v fork in the interest of a certain grout ) of iion. That is the long und short ot it , ml a moro monstrous doctrine was never onnulatcd. The people of New York consume a argo amount of beef daily. They wcro upptied originally from the region round bout , It was tncn found that cattle growers in the west could ship tliolr anl- nals to Now York and sell them for loss han neighboring growers could , and so ho people of the metropolis wcro fed at ess cost than they otherwise could have won. Then certain Chicago men , seeing lint it actually costs a great deal moro to jurry live stock Hum to carry the dressed neat from an cqunl number of animals , nidcrtook to save the waste by slaught- jring In Chicago and shipping tlio dressed meat. The natural result would nvvo been cheaper meal to everybody in Sow York , by reason of the saving of a considerable waslo. But Commissioner Fink decides that ho people of Now York shall not have cheaper meat , He says that the men who ship live slock must bo protected nt the expense of consumers ; that wo must eon- inuo to pay for tlio waste involved in hat method'of shipping , whether the vaste is actually incurred or not ; that in extra nnd unjustiliablo charge must ) o put upon the dressed meats to innko hem cost as much here as if dressed lore ; in a word , that the pool will levy a ax upon this entire people for the benefit of a little group of live stock shippers in Chicago. Mr. Fink undertakes to inter- 'crovilh a natural and beneficent law of rade. Ho assumes the right to fine every icrson in Now York who uses Chicago Iressed meat. Ho arrogates to himself the right to fix the price of bcof hero , ad vancing it beyond its natural figure in order that a certain group of speculators nay not bo undersold by their rivals in business who have hit upon an impiovcd lovico for supplying this market. Mr. Fink's ' position is startlingly impudent The Railroads nnd Dressed Dcof. CMcaoo TiUnme , The good the railroads liavo done in aiding tlio development of tlio country is great. But they have done this in their capacity of public servitors. In iissnm * ng the right to dictate they have not only taken n false position theoretically , but liavo boon guilty of more injustice than lias furnished an excuse for the over throw of more than ono government in tlio old world , and have done enough to make their managers the object of gcncr- il execration if the character of their aels were fully understood by the public they have wronged. Their action in the drcsscd-bocf business alone is sufficient to condemn thorn , oven out of their own months , in the estimation of all right- thinking men. The assumption ot a right to nictate to the business world that it shall gain no advantage from its choice to slaughter eattlo at the west instead of at the cast is one at which the most des potic of tlio rulers of Europe would hesi tate to-day unless as a discrimination in favor of' his own people as against the subju'cts of another government. As between different sections of tlio sauio country it could not bo attempted with out impuriling a revolution. Indeed , the rising of a no wor e bar as between the manufacturers of England and Ireland , several scores of years ago , was such a grievance that it is now referred to as a reason for present enmity , though long since abolished. The student of political economy who has long groaned under a sense of the infliction 111:15 : % perhaps , de rive a grim satisfaction from the thought that the evil is working its own euro , and that the present troubles of thu railroads arc in a large part duo to their false as sumptions of prerogative in the past. The very fact that they seemed to nave such "choice pickings' * was a temptation to others to como in and "take a share of the swag' ' which appeared to be at the command of any ono bold enough to stretch forth his hand and help himself. In a ttiluro suffering of the penalty for past misdeeds the railroad men of this country will learn that tlioy oannot evade the operation of inexorable laws. Railroad Discrimination Aualnst Car- rylnjr Dressed Beef. New Yutlc Kvcntno l'n t , The obyious nnd patent facts r.ro these : A new and cheaper method of bringing beef from tlio producer to the consumer has been found. The cheapness consists in conveying the beef without tlio olfal in convoying the product of the animal instead of the animal himself , dispensing with tlio need of feeding and caring for him en route and of curing him if ho falls sick ns ho is apt to. Iho railroad companies tltrow tnomsolvos in the way of tills notable boon to the public , nnd bay that it shall not bo. They have the assurance , the audacity wo can call it by no softer name to say that progress in the useful arts shall Htop at their bidding. They have the indiscre tion and * the want of taut to make this avowal at a time when the public mind is an extremely sensitive stito , and whoncongress is con sidering measures to curb their preten tious. By such hteps they put it out of the power of statesmen nnd journalists who would bo glad to defend them against the attacks of demagogues to render them any olfcotivo assistance. They give Ihumsolvcs away altogether. Wo have heard of cases where isolated railways in the mining regions have put the rates of transportation on silver so us to got as much money out of it , whether it was delivered to thorn in.the form of raw ore , or of concentrated ore , or of bullion. Instances liavo been cited where railways have fixed their rates so as to require lumbermen to ship the whole log instead of hawing It up and leaving thohlabs behind. Indeed , a multitude of parallel eases might bo found , but none could bo found more flagitious than the one that is now thu subject of hot dispute between Mr. Ar mour and Mr. Fink.

SUPERIOII CITY , Wls. , March 1. [ Cor respondence of the Ur.K. ] I have never altered my opinion about the head of Lake Superior. Superior Cit5 % in Wis cousin , has the building spot. Nothing can bo finer seeing than the protected ilcop-wator bay in front of the lown , eight miles long and ono mile wido. II is never disturbed by the agitated lake outside , The channel between Minnesota and Wisconsin points can bo dcnponcd and kept constantly open for the largest of the lake craft. Many 5'cnrs ago I stood on the to ] ) of Mount Oncota and looked over this town-silo of Superior , and wns convinced that nothing could bo bolter for the development of n marvel lously great city. The shore stands well above tlio lake , ami forms n fine plateau for miles towards the Interior of Wisconsin , with a breadth of ample ex pansion from Left-hand river west to the Minnesota state line , wliero it Intersects the St. Louis rivor. The ground lies as handsomely us that upon which Philadel phia stands. The very spot scorns to liavo been fashioned by Providence for a tremendous point of population and trade. At present there is something which is holding Superior City back. If it were in Minnesota 1 presume there would never have boon aiy : Dulutli. All the inilucuco of Minnesota goes towards showing up Iho commercial point at the head 01 the lake on her own territory. Ah a state .she derives benefit from such n course. 1 have an idea that there is another retarding infiuonco , having its seat in Milwaukee , and very likely in Madison Citi * . The ono ns the largest city In Wisconsin , and the other , ns its state capital , don't care about seeing n sliong inllucneo built up in the north of Wisconsin , which can do neither any good. There is another , and I fear a vorsu ono. Superior City is sold out in ots all over the United Stato. It has no irgin soil to work on , n sat present lo cated on Superior bay. Any indication of ultimate prosperity would send up prop- city fabulously and kill out temporarily vhat little enterprise might bo exhibited. Jo the case what it 111:15 : % Superior City vlll be the Chicago of Luke Superior as 1 lolievo and Dulutli its Milwaukee , only Jio two places will bo in sight of each other instead of ninety miles apart. The .lino cannot bo far distant when the lake lect will constantly seek refuge in the jay inside tlio two points , where the inrdcst storm that may prevail on the agitated water outside cannot disturb the vessels from riding ns easy ns a rocking- chair , and where , in perfect security , they can take in Iho Red river wheat nnd .mlky articles from Japan and China. Superior City then will occupy the same ruhtlvo position to Minnesota that Kan- 5.is City ( in Missouri ) does to the state of Kansas. They ma5 * fret and fume over liavlicld , Ashland , Washburn and the * ; ike as they please , these will bo even tually , like Waukegan , Kcnosha and lla- 3ino near Chicago , along the shore of Lake Michigan. It may seem a queer hing to saj % but in the year 53,000 which means 114 5'cars honoo Superior City will bo larger than Chicago , provided we own all the tributary towards tlio north pole , in other words , Canada. The navi gation is just as good to the head of Superior as to thu head of Michigan , nnd once at Superior Cit5' nothing can cut off the vast streams of trade , not oven St. Paul and Minneapolis. It must bo re membered that the Northern Pacific road is not fairly out of its swaddling clothes. After a hard struggle it is just breathing for life. Its Pacific terminus - minus on Puget Sound is yet to bo devel oped. Directly it will bo found coursing eastward nlong the wouth side of the lake Lo Sault St. Marie , then in Canada across the Ottawa river , down this to Montreal , and from thence probably to Portland , Maine. Of course , it must go right on over the town-site of Superior City. And then what a combining point the latter will bo of trunk railroads and deep water navigation I Nothing equal to it in the world. Of course ; when I say Superior City , I do not confine myself to the plat laid out by Newton thirty years ago. Thu citj' may bo anywhere between Loft- Hand river and Fond du Lac , twenty miles above on tlio St. Louis river ; but Ft must be on that great plateau to tlio south and east of St. Louis river and tlio buy of Superior. It will not bo along the rugged shore to the north and west of the lakes and outside of Superior bay- in other words , where Dulutli , under Minnesota auspices , has boon planted and forced into notice with a largo out lay of means. Before dismissing this Superior business ( of which I huvo not thought so much for a long time ) , I desire - sire to say that now is thu time for on tor- prising men to bo about the head of Lake superior. In 1853-50 it wns buforo our eye like n meteor , which flushed brightly , full of great possibilities in the near or remote future , as circumstances might determine. That meteor Vanisjiod from thopublicguzo , and a whole generation gave little thought to the spot. Now , with the iron rail connecting the head of the lake with the Pacific ocean , it appears ns a rising sun , tlio beams of which wo can luu'uV estimate , and regarding its setting can have no conception. S. Health Hints. Medical World : Sassafras tea , strongly infused , is credited with wonderful prop erties for inducing cheerfulness , happi ness , free conversational powers and a general fooling of well-being. Teaspoon- fill closes of sassafras oil , taken In water or soda-water , urn said to produce a delightful - lightful species of intoxication , and to re move pain of colio , cramp , etc. The ex ternal application of the same oil is also said to relieve neuralgic pain. Sassafraa has long been used in England ns n do mestic remedy or palliative for chronic rheumatism. Powdorudfaugar has boon found lo form an cxcullunt dressing for wounds , ulcers and cuvitlos , excepting in conditions of profuse secretion , in which cases its ac tion in less untisfaotory. Small repeated doses of sulphur are highly extolled by an English .surgeon in the treatment of iliphtnorln. Fifteen grains of milk of Milphur may bo sus pended In an ounce of mnciliiEo and flavored agreeably , Of this a teaspoon- fill or more may bu taken every hall hour or hour , according to thu ago of the pa tient. Somn time ngo an old British soldier from tlio East indies brought us some pills made of spider's wub.s , which ho told us are largely employed in India AS a prophylactic uguiust und euro for ague , llu assured us that ho himself had born n sufferer from intormittunt fever for yonru und thut , though thu di.seawu was not eradicated , ho could either avert the spells or render thorn insignificant by thu use of this singular remedy.
