Ft. Paul, Minn., July 29, 1968.
Onr Eastern vleltors, who, durln tho last
month, have crowded the villages aud towns of
our State, coming with shawls and overcoats to
ehield themselves Irom the cool winds of this
climate, have been sadly dUapiotnted by the
weather here. The enme thermometers thatran
down to thirty degrees below zero here lust win
ter, have this month ran nimbly up to a hun
dred in the thade. Even the cool retreat of
Minnehaha failed to afford relief from the swel
tering sun, and the sliver spray of the laughing
waters seemed some duva liko the stream from a
hot shower bath. Ever and anon, however
breezes from over the wide prniries have reas
sured us of our latitude, and of our cool advan
tapes over our Eustcin neiRhlors.
The early spriuc, and eteady warm weather
nightly alternated by showers, have given great
and sudden growth to all kind of crops, espe
c'.ally to wheat, our staple product. If wheat
Is injured at all, It has been by the intense and
fteady heat of this month, too hastily rtpcnlni?
and shrinking it. Many estimate the average
yield throughout the State at twenty bushels per
acre, while others set it at even a higher rate.
The great broad waving uclds ot golden grain,
some a thousand and more acres in exteut,
have, for the ten days or two weeks past, been
bowing before the reapf rs. Laborers for this
service have been In preut demand, aud have
received wages from three to five dollars a day.
A great storm pitted over this section of tho
State yesterday aod last night. The wind, rain,
lightning, nnd thunder, were on a scale of mag
nificence such as the great West alone can ooci
elounlly produce. It effected considerable alarm
in this vicinity, but whether it did great
damage to the wheat still unreaped throughout
the State, has not yet been ascertained.
Among the many visitors who have recently
arrived here from the East Is a party of Phila
delphians who reached here four or five days
ago, coming all the way In a palace car fur.
Cished by the Pennsylvania Central Railroad.
Among the party was Sir. Thompson, President
of Pennsylvania Central; Mr. Hinckley, Presi
dent of Philadelphia, Baltimore aud Washington
XUilroad; Mr. V7. ClarK, backer; Mr. Leland, of
the Press, Colouel Moon head, Mr. Lippincott,
and others, nccompanicd by a number of ladies.
Most of them arc interested in the Mississipp1
and Lake Superior Railroad, now being con
structed Irom this city to the head of Lake Supe
rior, a distance of about one huudred and fifty
miles. The first engine (splendid one of the
Philadelphia make) was dedicated aud set to
running on the 21th of lat month
The road is expected to be completed in two
years, and the tourist can then make a delight
ful trip from Philadelphia to the Mississippi, up
that noble liver to this point, and return Eas
by the Lakes. Wm. L. Banning, a former Phila
delphlan, is President of the road. Philadelphia
Is not only largely interested in this road, but
the capital aud energy of many of its inhabitants
and of the State is observable in nearly every
portion of Minnesota.
This State la growing wonderfully. Young
men of enterprise, hard-working farmers from
the Eastern States, hardy, industrious emigrants
from Northern Germany and Norway, are
Cocking in, butlding towns, and making the
broad prairies bloom and blossom like the rose.
The frigid atmosphere of "six months of the
year" may be a bugbear to the shiycrms dwellers
amid the damp changeable blasts of the Atlantic
coast; but It is delightful to those who here have
breathed the clear, dry, steady, invigorating
atmobphere during that time, and it is no bug
bear to the farmer who Is enabled by the sud
den warmth of spring to plant and sow earlier
than his brethren of Pennsylvania or New York.
The mineral resources ot the State are just
beginning to be developed. To-day, a ton of
gold quartz, Drought from Vermillion Lake, in
Et. Louis county, north of Lake Superior, was
sent to Chicago to be assayed by the Chicago
Mining 13oaid by tho Tyndall process. The
mines of lesser metals are also beiug worked
throughout the State
Bt. Paul, twenty jean ago an Indian rendez
tous, is now a city of some twenty thousand
inhabitants, with five railroads centring here
running in as many directions, aud others in
contemplation. Although this town and county
are strongly Democratic, it does not have the
effect of putting the whole State at all in sym
pathy with the Seymour and Blair family com
bination, lion. I. Donnelly, who represents
this district in Congress, has returned here
from Washington, and will at once commence
to canvass for his nomination and re-election,
which, owing to the defection among his Re
publican friends, will bo a hard fight for him.
The GraLt and Colfax ticket will sweep the
State by many thousand majority; but owing to
the confidence felt of an easy victory in fighting
tinder such an ever-cou a tiering banner, the
enthusiasm will not be as great as in former
contests with the same enemy; but, neverthe
less, the victory will bo as sure. W. II. D.

TOE DAILY EVENING TELEGIlAPIIPIIELADELrillA, TUESDAY,
Sonthern Aceonnt or Governor Humphrey'
Expnlslon Irom tho Unbernatorlal
Mansion.
Onr readers can scarcely have forgotten the
very recent occurrence of Governor II am
phreys expulsion from the Gubernatorial
mansion of Jackson, Mississippi, following a
correspondence in which on the one hand he
had been repeatedly notified by the authorities
to vacate the house, but in which, on the
other hand, he had persisted in asserting his
right and intention to continue to oooupy it.
We have excellent grounds for saying that
the disagreeable duty of placing Governor
Humphreys uuder the stress which occasioned
his vacating the premises was performed with
all the courtesy compatible with the employ
ment of forces in the contingency of resistance
to the order. It is, however, in keeping with
the usual political misrepresentation emanat
ing from the South, that even the performance
of this aot, executed with the greatest dolioacy
compatible with circumstances, has not escaped
unjust animadversion from Governor Hum
phreys' over-zealous friends. We give below
the expected sequel to the transactions pub
lished in our issue of a few days ago:
THE CAPTCRH OF TUB EXECUTIVE MANE ION AT TUB
TOIST OF THE BAYONET.
From the Fort U lOion Standard, July 20.
Those of our readers who have seen the
correspondence between Governor Humphreys
and General Ames, will remember that Mon
day, the 13th of July, was the day appointed
by the latter for the attack upon the Execu
tive mansion.
Well, Monday morning came and with It
the Yankee raid. Everything that belonged
to the occupants was packed, and they were
ready for the attack, which was made about
twelve o'clock. Lieutenant Baulie, command
ing a file of six soldiers, rode up to the gate,
dismounted, and led the charge. Governor
Humphreys met him at the front door, Iks
Lieutenant said good morning, and offered
his hand, which was not received. He said he
wished to have a private interview (several
friends of the Governor were in the mansion.)
The Governor and Lieutenant walked into a
front parlor, when the latter said he bad been
sent by Colonel Biddle, commandant of the
post, to take possession of part of the man
sion. Governor Humphreys said that he
refused to give it up. Lieutenant Baehe said
that he had a note from Colonel Biddle to
deliver in case a surrender was refused, and
delivered it. Being asked if be would carry
out the order, directing him to force a sur
render, the Lieutenant replied that he would.
Governor Humphreys then stepped to the
door and called some of his friends in to hear
what had passed, and requested the Lieutenant
to repeat his question in their hearing, which
after some hesitation on the part of the Lieu
tenant and some insisting on the part of the
Governor he did, and the same reply was
made.
The mansion having in this manner been
forcibly occupied by the soldiers, a carriage
and wagon was obtained and the family and
baggage of Governor Humphreys left the
house, good care being taken to secure a box
of silver tvare, the private property of the
family, against the hands of the intruders,
who, flushed with viutory, were doubtless
eager for the spoils. The family marched out
of tUa yard through, an immense crowd of
negroes, who had assembled in the frout yard
to see the fun, many of them in a broad grin,
and entering the carriage rode to a private
boardiDg-house, everybody on the streets
gazing at them as they passed. The Lieu
tenant, duly sashed, sworded, and buttoned,
with his hat on, which he had worn all the
time, in full possession of the premises, prome
naded the parlors.
General Ames had not, at last accounts,
moved into the mansion, but keeps a guard at
the doors, day and night. He has had a billiard-table
placed in one of the parlors, and,
after dark, he and his triends go there and
play billiards. Persons in the neighborhood
say that the only visitors they have seen enter
the mansion were several detachments of
"colored ladies." It is the general impression
that Ames would now give his right arm if he
had never said ''mansion." None of the citi
zens of Jackson ever approach him, and he is
never spoken of but with contempt. - It was
generally conjectured that Ames, who is un
married, wanted the mansion for the use of
some brother officers who have their families
in Jackson with them. But to their credit,
and that of their wives, be it said, they have
positively declined to aocept General Ames'
extraordinary kindness, and publicly an
nounce that there is nothing that could induce
them to enter the house.
The Governor has rented a very comfortable
place in the suburbs of the city of Jackson, to
which he moved his family last week.
We have given the above ad it comes to U3
from the people of the neighborhood, who got
it from those who were eye-witnesses of the
proceeding from first to last.
Benjamin G. Humphreys and Charles E.
Hooker, like other people of Mississippi, may
have no rights that a military man is bound to
respect. But the time has been when tiie ma
jority of the State represented in their per
sons would have been thought entitled to con
sideration. Mason and Slidell were taken forcibly from
the quarter-deck of a British vessel. But the
glory of the achievement was of short dura
tion; for the "Great Kepublio" was soon hum
bled to the expedient of making an apology
and restoring them to the protection of the
British flag. Why take so much pains to
teach the people to regret their alienage from
the British flag ? Who is to repair the wrong
inflicted on the rights, the honor, and the
property of the State of Mississippi by seizing
the mansion built by the people for the resi
dence of their Governor, aud converting it
into a billiard-saloon 1 No wonder the peni
tentiaries of the Union are crowded with con
victs, when the Government itself is controlled
by thieves, and the army and its officers have
been and are yet trained to deeds of robbery.
A French Turf Celebrity.
ViecouDt Artus Talon, one of the most famous
mr n on the Freucn turf, died ar. L?ous a fort
night ago. The Paris correspondent of tue
London Dai y Jfewa eaj: ''Viscount Artus
Talon was the younger brother of tnu Marquis
Onier Talon, the representative of a family
founded by an extremely emiuent judge of tlie
last century. The young vUcount, win took
to steeple chabiug at a very early age, enliste I
as a nvuie of cavalry when the Crimean war
broke out. He soon obtained a sub-iieutcuunt's
commission in the Eighth Hussars. At BaU
klava, riding us ho generally did his own
horse, lie won a cup which, was disputed by
several KuiMish oilieers At Baden-Uiden, in
18U5, on his horse it'galia, he won the interna
tional Steeple chase. He was wont to say that
vn the turf he had beateu the Eeglish aud the
Germans. Thoe were his greatest triumphs,
for although in Erauce he had a lurge stud at
Malsous Lutitte, and rode as many as three huu
dred steeple cliOses, ho seldom wou any race ot
importance, bix feet high, with long thin legs,
he was iingularly until for a jockey. He had
the worst seat on horseback ot any man I ever
saw who could ride, und 1 believe no man ever
got so men? ta ls. To see him frauing forward
with Lis head between his horse's ears, aud
floods of daylight between him and the saddle,
It seemed miraculous that he could stick on at
all. ret 1 believe he never came off except
when bis horse fell, only he was ') oadly
b-ilsnced In the cuddle that his horses were
addicted to failing.
"I remember five years tttro seeing him eet an
awful purl at the Irish wall at Vinoenne.. He
whi carried off the crouud insensible by four
grrrjen't de tilte, and most of the spei'ators
thought he was seriously tnlured; but though

ART IN EUROPE.
Primary Art.Kriucatloa la Krc, Praia
la, 8 wnxrll. Bad Italy.
The London Art Journal has an article on
Primary Art-Education in Europe, from which
we extract the following:
FRANCS.
In the 74 French hcem, and 247 commercial
colleges, in which 66,000 French boys, out of
a population of 37,000,000, are receiving a
carefully-studied education at the hands of
trained and certified masters, drawing, as well
as singing, is obligatory; aud during the
greater part of the nine years' course which
intervenes between the receptiou of the little
scholar of seven or eight yenrs old from the
primary school, and his introduction, on leav
ing the class of "Philosophy," to the special
professional Schools of the polyteehnio, St.
Cyr, the A cole Navalc, the Ecole Forrcstiere, or
the Ecole Ccntrale des Aria ct Manufactures,
about two hours a week is devoted to each
Study. Drawing is methodically taught not
as an accomplishment, but as a necessary fea
ture of ordinary education.
r-RUSSIA.
In the 255 higher or secondary schools of
Prussia, out ot a population of 18,500,000,
GG,000 boys are receiving their education at
the hands of 3349 teachers, themselves care
fully trained for their duties. Prussia also
possesses 84 v orschulen, or public preparatory
schools, containing 8000 scholars, under 188
certificated teachers. All the boys in the
secondary sohools learn drawing. In the
classical schools three hours a week are given
to this study for the first three years. Iu the
non-classicpl school two hours a week are
given to drawing in all clasfaes below the first,
and three in the first.
It is remarkable that while the number of
scholars in the secondary schools of Prussia is
almost exactly the earns as that of the corres
ponding pupils in France (although the popu
lation of the former kingdom, at the time
when the information was collected, was only
about half of the latter), the proportion of
the non-classical scholars is almost identical,
being, in round numbers, in each ease, 20,000
out of 00,000. The lower number, in each
instance, must be taken to represent the desire
for special information or technical teaching,
rather than for general and high culture, as
the main object of education. In Germany
the idea of oulture, and the study of literature
and "the humanities," is that which com
mands by far the highest as well as the most
eurmral i-HHFHOt. Id France the state of opin
ion is more evenly divided.
SWITZERLAND.
In Switzerland the general judgment leans
rather to the practical than to the intellectual
side. In the canton of Zurich nearly a third
of the whole public expenditure is directed to
education, and one in five of the population
are at school. Instruction is compulsory on
all children between the ages of six and six
teen, the first six years of which time are
passed in the communal schools. After the
close of the twelfth year, the education is car
ried on either in the "Erganzungsschule,"
finishing-school, giving four hours of instruc
tion twice a week; or in the "Singschule," to
keep up the practice of church music and
singing by one hour's exercise in the week,
which is coupled with the religious instruction
of the pastor of the place, occupying an hour
and a half. For those children whose educa
tion is prolonged beyond the shortest obliga
tory limit, exist the "ludustrieachule," with
a course of live years and a half, and the
"Gymnasium," with one of six years aud a
half. These are cantonal schools. In the
"Gymnasium," a classical school, modelled
much alter the German pattern, free-hand
drawing is taught during the first five years,
or lower portion of the course. In the "lndus
triescbule," the time occupied by Greek in
the "Gymnasium" is devoted to geometrical
drawing.
ITALY.
Education in Italy is for the most part like
Bo many other Italian blessings in the future.
Yet the office of the Minister of Publio Instruc
tion exists, and is not a sinecure. The Italian
licti have 3302 scholars, the Ginnasi, 12,802;
the iscuolc tcchniche, 8208. All the scholars in
the Scuole teclmiche learn drawing.
COMPARISONS AND CONCLUSIONS.
Now without for a moment imagining that a
course of drawing lessons at school will turn
out a population of artists, it is evident that
the artistio taste and facility common among
a population of which the whole, or even only
the better instructed part, are accustomed to
regard the pencil as an instrument almost as
necessary as the pen, will be greatly in ad
vance of those prevalent among a people who
regard a draughtsman as a man of rare and
unusual accomplishment. The great ques
tion of culture or information of teauning
or training, has excited no less attention on
the Continent than it has done among the
comparatively few persons who give atten
tion in this country to the great educational
Struggle. Only abroad it is matter of experi
ment, while with us it is matter of argument.
In Fiance about a third of the secondary
pupilaare now non-olassical. In Prussia almost
exactly thd same proportion. In Italy, again,
close npou the same, viz: 82G8 out of
24,31)2. In Zurich the proportion is the
other way about 250 scholars in the indus
trial to lfcO in the classical schools. But in
regarding the iucreasiug advantages with
wnich Swiss and German youth are now, even
in our own country, coming into competition
with English lads, we must not be too ready
to ascribe the superiority of the foreigner to
the industrial or more classical character of
his education. Into that part of the subject
it is not the place here to enter, although it is
one on which it is important to have those
clear ideas which a study of the working of
the Continental secondary schools may enable
thoughtful men to form. But in the care
which puts the pencil, as a matter of course,
into the hands of the school-boy we can trace
a surer cause for the ready ability of the Ger
man, as compared with the English lad, when
he passes from school to the duties of daily
life, than in any lycce and gymnasiums of iho
Continent.
