contributions in this way, not only in the
parks of the larger cities, but in the pub
lic squares of towns and villages. In the
selection of subjects our own Presidents
and Statesmen should not be overlooked.
"THE NATIONAL GUARD."
Shall we have a district organization of
the "National Guard" in Huntingdon ?
The objects of the organization are excel
lent, namely, to educate its members up to
the full measure of their political respon
sibilities ; to attach them to their country
and their government. In short, to make
them good citizens, and zealous supporters
of law and order, and thus of the govern
ment itself.
Cul. Fitzgerald, and others of Philadel
phia, are authorized to carry into operation
these organizations in Pennsylvania, or im
part all information necessary for that
purpose.
JAPAN.
It is stated in recent dispatches from
Japan, that the Mikado has issued an or
der granting religious toleration, and guar
anteeing.protection to the Christian Mis
sionaries in that country. This is no doubt
one of the early fruits of the representa
tions made to Iwakura and his associates
at Washington, by christians, and by the
newspaper press.
It was stated in New York a few days
ago, at the Anniversary Meeting of the
Baptist Churches, that the Mikado himself
had renounced his Pagan faith and given
his adherence to the Christian religion.
At all events the way seems clear for
Christian effort in Japan.
THE CHAPPAQUA SAGE.
Sudden changes of opinion always excite
distrust, unless they are accompanied by
causes so adequate and apparent that the
metamorphosis is at once explained. Where
surrounding circumstances are unchanged,
and where no logical or suffioient reason
can be perceived for a revolution in life
long action and sentiment, there naturally
arises a suspicion of hidden, mercenary,
selfish, or dishonorable motives. If the
conversion, besides being sudden and inex
plicable, was calculated to subserve ambi
tious ends and aspirations, while a contin
uance in the former sentiments would not,
the doubt of honest conviction and high
minded sincerity in all the premises would
almost, or quite, amount to certainty. Such
is the position which Horace Greeley now
occupies in the minds of those who have
hitherto been his political coadjutors. Like
Saul of Tarsus he has suddenly betook
himself to the companionship of those
whom he has ever before denounced as
base and dangerous. In the case of the
saint there was a light in the heavens visi
ble to those who stood round about; but
in the case of the Chappaqua philosopher
there is only the blackness of Cimmerian
darkness, far from suggestive of any thing
celestial. Horace Greeley has deserted
the Republicans ; nay more, the censures
and objurgations which for so many years
he bestowed upon their opponents, he now
pours out upon them, he well knowing that
the Democrats make it their greatest boast
'that they are unchanged. Horace Greeley
has not kept his "first estate ;" politically
he is
"Harl'd headlong flaming from th' etherial sky,
With hideous ruin and combustion, down
To bottomless perdition.
Not only has he deserted the great and
noble party to which he was attached, but
his hatred towards it will hereafter be
greater than that of a person who never
belonged to it. During the old wars be
tween the Mahometans and Christians, the
latter were accustomed to say that "one
renegade was worse than ten Turks."—
There is a natural abhorrence in the hu
man mind against treachery and selfish
desertion. The renegade feels and knows
it. He is sensible of the meed he deserves
from faithful and honorable minds, and he
hates those who award it to him. As the
Northern doughfaces exceeded the very
slave-mongers in their obsequiousness and
devotion to the system of slavery, so Gree
ley and the Tribune will now exceed Mar
ble and the World in the spitefulness,
malignancy and venom with which they
will pursue the Republicans. Well, be it
so. Let him do his worst, and that worst
will not be found very portentious or dread
ful. As individuals in the same family
are chary in public criticisms of each other,
so members of a political party are reluc
tant to make attacks on an associate whose
heart is right, and yet much of whose con
duct is mischievous. This forbearance has
long been exercised towards Greeley; but
now his desertion renders it legitimate to
examine the man as he is, and as he has
been. He is now an enemy to the Repub
lican party. He will either be the presi
dential candidate of the so-called "Liber
als," or that of the Democratic party, or
an Ismaelitish bushwhacker, marauding
on the outskirts of those he hates the most.
But he need not be feared in either posi
tion. If the Democrats do not take him
up, he cannot get a single electoral vote.
If they do, it will cause the stampede of
hundreds of thousands of Democrats. All
the soreheads, all the personal adherents,
all the misguided Republicans Greeley
could carry with him would not compen
sate for such loss. The Cincinnati con
glomeration of odds and ends which cul
minated in the nomination of Greeley, is
already dissolving into its original elements.
Stanley Matthews, its first chairman, has
publicly denounced it as being itself the
most striking example he could adduce of
chicanery and corruption.. The revenue
reformers have openly seceded and called
another Convention. The New York
Evening Post has deserted the Convention.
The movement is not supported by any
Republican papers of ability. The Tribune,
when challenged to name any Republican
daily newspaper, except itself, that cast its
lot with the Cincinnati mongrel party,
could not do it, and could only designate
four insignificant weekly (or weakly) pa
pers in its own State, and one of them ha s
since perished for want of support. The
German Republican press throughout tke
Union, remains true to its allegiance, and
both Republican and Democratic Germans,
as a rule, repudiate Greeley as a candidate
or as a chief. They are not dice, to be
shifted at will from one place to another
by any political juggler however adroit.—
The great body of American Republicans
reject the Tribune sage with the disgust
which his recreancy merits.
Among the Democrats, so far from gain
ing new strength, Greeley is constantly
becoming more distasteful and unwelcome.
The leading Democratic journals are oppo
sed to his being nominated at Baltimore,
as are the most prominent Democratic
leading men. Where, then, is Greeley's
strength ? It is certainly not portentous
in the North, and will not be, unless the
Blair family by the same manipulations,
treacheries, and conspiracies which effected
the nomination at Cincinnati, can force
him upon the Baltimore Convention. In
that case will any considerable number of
Republicans follow him into the Demo
cratic camp ? Only misguided, disappoint
ed and recreant Republicans can do so.—
, Their number, ve feel sure, will be small.
The great Republican party itself is too
devoted to its principles, too well acquaint
ed with the needs and situation of the
country, too much animated with intelli
gence, too sensible that liberty and reform
can only be maintained by its own success,
too patriotic, and too progressive, to be led
into any fool's chase after Horace Greeley.
Ever since Mr. Greeley obtained repu_
tation and prominence as a partisan and
pungent editor of the Log Cabin in 1840,
it has been patent to all who knew, and to
all who critically observed him, that he
especially lacked the qualifications neces
sary for an able and successful leader. The
Harrison campaign was managed by shrewd
and sagacious men like Seward and Weed.
They made use of Greeley to great advan
tage, and airs writer he did efficient exe
cution. He was handled so adroitly that
he fancied he was the directing and con-
trolling mind, and wished to establish a
triumvirate with Seward and Weed. They
saw he was very well as a writer, but would
be ruinous as a leader. Others saw it too,
and greedy and anxious as Greeley has al
ways been for office, neither the Whig nor
Republican parties ever dared to trust him
in prominent and executive positions. If
now and then nominated to some office he
invariably ran behind his party ticket, and
all the circulation and popularity of the
Tribune never could secure for him a res
pectable currency as a candidate. The
frequent disappointments he suffered _in
i his aspirations for office led him to dissolve
the firm of Seward, Weed & Greeley, and
since then, like Barkis, he 'has always been
willing, and always unsuccessful, except
in serving out a month or two of somebo
dy else's term in Congress, where in that
short period he made himself thoroughly
odious and obnoxious to men of all parties
without exception or distinction. He has
repeatedly shown himself a marplot, and
notwithstanding his Chinese physiognomy,
so "childlike and bland," he has exhibited
stupid obstinacy fully equal to that of An
drew Johnson or any other jackass.
During Lincoln's celebrated canvass
with Douglass, and during the legislative
contest which followed it, Greeley was
quite as much for the latter as the former.
He electioneered for Lincoln about as he
did for the Republicans in Connecticut
last spring. Afterwards at the Conven
tion in Chicago where Lincoln was first
nominated, and where the competition was
between such men as Lincoln, Seward and
Chase, was our Chinese sage, running over
with apparent simplicity, and he too, had
his candidate. He pressed his favorites
by "ways that were dark and tricks that
were vain." He swore good mouth•filling
oaths, and manifested his great knowledge
of men, his exquisite discrimination of
character, and his profound conception of
statesmanship, by repudiating Lincoln andl
Seward, and men of that calibre, and ex
alting the brilliant lutnihary and intellec
tual paragon, Edward Bates.
During all the Administration of Mr.
Lincoln he was perpetually annoyed and
worried by this same Chinese politician.—
At one time it would be his heedless "On
to Richmond," at another his cowardly
counsel to make degrading and suicidal
concessions, and at another by prosecuting
insane negotiations in Canada.
As early as November 9, 1860, Mr.
Greeley demonstrated how safe and judi
cious it would have been to have entrusted
the guidance of these United States to his
sagacity and wisdom. In the Tribune of
that date he says:
" Now if the Cotton States consider the value
A' the Union debatable,• we maintain the perfect
right to discuss it . . . . And whenever a consid
erable section of our Union shall deliberately re
solve to go out, we shall resist all coercive meas
ures designed to keep it in."
On the 17th December 1860, the Chap
paqua jurist, patriot and philanthropist
evinced his legal acumen by telling what
he knew about the Declaration of Indepen
dence. He says
"We have repeatedly asked those who dissent
from our views of this matter to tell us frankly
whether they do or do not assent to Mr. Jefferson's
statement in the Declaration of Independence that
Governments derive their just powers from the con
sent of the Governed ; and that whenever any form
of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it,
and to institute a new government," lie.
Further along in the same article we
may see him invoking the incoming Ad
ministration to precipitate itself against
"FUGITIVE SLAVES ;" and now it is ex
pected by some that he will receive the
'.negro vote" with grateful acclamation.
He says :
We fully realize that the dilemma of the in
coming Administration will be a critical on. It
must endeavor to uphold and enforce the laws.
as well against rebellious slaveholders as fugitive
slaves. The new president must fulfil the obliga
tions assumed in his inauguration oath,
if ever seven or eight States send agents to Wash
ington to say, We want to go out of thq Union,
we feel constrained by our devotion to human lib
erty to say, Let them go ! And we do not see how
we could take the other side without coming in direct
conflict with those rights of man which we hold
paramount to all political arrangements, however
convenient and advantageous."
One week later, December 24, 1860,
Mr. Greeley poured out his soul with a
philanthropy at which Jeff. Davis and his
yet unrepentent followers may clap their
hands and hail a brother secessionist. He
says :
"Most certainly we believe that governments
are made for peoples, not peoples for governments
—that the latter derive theirjust power from the
consent of the governed ; and whenever a portion
of this Union, largo enough to form an indepen
dent, self-subsisting nation, shall see St to say,
authentically, to the residue, 'We wantto get away
from you,' we shall say—and we trust self-respect,
if not regard for the principles of self-goverment,
will constrain the residue of the American people
to say---.Elor "
-
Five days after the inauguration as Pres
ident of the Confederate States, of that
distinguished citizen who was subsequent
ly bailed with such alacrity and enthusi
asm by Mr. Greeley, the latter, in the Tri
bune of February 23, 1861, spoke thus:
"If the Slave States, the Cotton States, or the
Gulf States only, choose to form an independent
nation, they hare a clear moral right to do so."
As men, and even philosophers, not un
frequently persist in opinions which ap
pear preposterous to the majority of man
kind, su our wise statesman continued to
respect his previous declarations. In the
Tribune of September 26, 1862, in a letter
to H. McChesney, of Troy, N. Y., Mr.
Greeley says :
" But I shall insist that, if it had been proved
that the people of the Slave States—or even of the
Cotton States alone—had really desired to dissolve
the Union, and had peacefully, deliberately and au
thoritatively expressed that wish, see should have
assented to it. At all events I should."
These extracts show that Greeley might
be styled secessionist as well as auy South
ern fire-eater of the rebellion. If we con
trast him with Mr. Lincoln during this
period, it is Hypericon to a Satyr. And
yet when Mr. Lincoln had been renomi
nated, when certain discontented Repub
licans had held a convention at Cleveland
and nominated Fremont and Cochrane,
when the fortunes of the republic were in
a most critical condition, and our patriotic
President needed all possible aid and as
sistance, this Tribune secessionist treach
erously and secretly stabbed Mr. Lincoln
by sending out the following letter to the
Governors of States, as private and confi
dential :
'New York, Sept. 2, 1864.
Bon. - -
Torn EXCELLENCY : The under
signed have been requested by a body of influen
tial Unionists to communicate with the loyal Gov
ernors, for the purpose of eliciting replies to the
following queries :
1. In your judgment is the re-election of Mr.
Lincoln a probability
2. In your judgment, can your own State be car
ried for Mr. Lincoln?
3. In your judgment do the interest of the Union
party, and so of the country, require the substitu
tion of another candidate in place of Mr. Lincoln ?
In making these queries we give no opinion of
our own, and request yours only for the most pri
vate and confidential use.
Yours truly, HORACE GREELEY.
Editor of the Triton• (and two others).
The people answered Mr. Greeley's in
terrogatories as they will answer these of
Cincinnati next November.
We have other specimen's of this man's
opinions and- consistency, but the length
of this article admonishes us to postpone
them to a future occasion,
DEMOCRATIC STATE NOMINA
TIONS.
The Democratic State Convention as
sembled at Reading, on the 30th ult., and
nominated Hon. C. R. Buckalew, of Co
lumbia county, for Governor; Hon. James
P. Thompson, of Erie, (or the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company,) for Judge of the
Supreme Court; William Hartley, of Bed
ford county, for Auditor General; Hon.
Richard Vaux, of Philadelphia, James H.
Hopkins, Esq., of Allegheny, and Hon.
H. B. Wright, of Luzerne, for Congress
men-at-Large. The nomination for Gov
ernor is the best that tha Democratic party
could have made within its own ranks, and
it behooves the Republican party to put
its house in order. The candidate for
Supreme Judge is - the stand-by of the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad in all its
contests with the people, and we will see
how the people will treat him now that it
is their turn once. Mr. Hartley, of Bed
ford, if he were elected, would own the
State and monopolize every dollar in it.—
If we feel disposed we think we can#dis
sect him in such a way that we can spoil
his little game for him. We are intimate.
ly acquainted with his record. The can
didates for Congressmen-at-Large are all
good men, but do not belong to the popu
lar class.
THE RAILWAY KING.
Colonel Thomas A. Scott has just ob
tained a victory over John W. Garrett, in
Washington, where Congress has granted
Col. Scott the right to build a large rail-
road depot on an eligible site South of
Pennsylvania Avenue, and within half a
dozen squares of the capitol. It is said,
and we believe with truth, that Col.
Scott presides over twenty-six railroad
corporations, from which he draws the hand
some annual salary of $176,000. He now is
asked by a large number of the stockhold
ers to accept the presidency and under
take the control of the great Erie road;
but here again he finds his opponent in
John W. Garrett, the president of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The scene
of the battle between these two gentlemen
is transferred from the committee rooms
of the capitol to Wall street, and instead
of Senators and Representatives marshaled
on opposing sides, we have immense rail
road companies, millionaires and an army
of bankers and brokers. The contest seems
likely to be the greatest ever fought in
the railroad world, and will command the
attention not only of America but of Eu
rope. The great American railway king
has never yet surrendered nor been beaten ;
nor will he in this battle if he personally
desires a victory.
THE JEWS
In no country in the world, since their
expulsion from Jerusalem, have the He
brew race found a home or even an asylum,
except in the United States. From time
to time, they have been robbed, imprison
ed and murdered, or expelled from every
country in Europe in which they took up
their residence. Coming from various
European countries they have invariably
received a welcome in the United States,
and protection under the American flag.—
Our census takes no account of them as a
separate people; yet there are hundreds of
thousands of them here, while the English
census shows only eighty thousand Jews
in that country. Liberty, protection, and
freedom of thought in America, has modi
fied the character of the Hebrew; but
while his heart responds gratefully, he ig
nores the Christian religion and adheres
to his ancient delusion.
OUR WOOL CLIP.
The wool clip of the United States
amounted in 1871 to 177,000,000 pounds,
and is the largest of any country in the
world. England produced 159,969,000
pounds; Australia, 152,500,000 pounds;
La Plata, 138,070,000 pounds.
Our clip of 1860 was only 60,264,913
pounds. This has been nearly trebled in
eleven years. A large increase in the
number of sheep in the United States has
taken place during the last twelve months,
and a corresponding increase of wool may
be anticipated in the report for 1872. The
wonderful progress made in this agricul
tural industry during the last decade must
be attributed mainly to the effects of a
protective tariff which has shielded our
sheep growers against undue importations
from La Plata and other countries.
THE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT,
Never was a greater mistake made by
any political organization than that of the
democrats in the encouragement and aid
they afforded in the development of the
Cincinnati Convention. It was done under
the grand idea of causing a split in the
Republican party. But ails for human
inventions: the snare set for others is the
very one in which they have themselves
been caught. The nomination at Cincin
nati has rent the Democratic party in
twain, and to-day they stand amazed at th•
result of their own work. One portion
of the party go it blind for Greeley; an
other is violently opposed to him and will
let the party sink into its grave before
they will consent to endorse their life long
political enemy.
YOUNG
J. Russell Young has, we are infbrmed,
accepted the position of resident editor of
the New York Herald in London, at a
salary of $B,OOO per annum. Mr. Young
commenced his newspaper experience as
office or errand boy in the Philadelphia
Press, and graduated from the chair of
chief editor of that paper. He went from
there to New York and accepted the situ
ation of managing editor of the New York
Tribune. Leaving that position he estab
lished the New York Standard, one of the
best dailies in the great metropolis. He
leaves that paper in charge of a younger
brother, equally brilliant as a newspaper
writer. The Youngs are natives of Penn
sylvania, and wY are proud of them.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Closing Hours of Congress—Decoration
Day—The Eight Hour Movement—
Greeley—The Democratic Sentiment—
The German Vote—The Philadelphia
and Baltimore Conventions—Sumner on
the President.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 3, 1972.
CLOSING HOURS OF CONGRESS.
By meeting earlier in the forenoon and
holding evening, and frequently all-night
Sessions, both Houses of Congress have
done an immense amount of work during
the past week. Very little unfinished
work of importance will lie over.
IN MEMORIAM,
"Decoration Day" in Washington has be_
come a season of peculiar interest. The
great city of the dead, at Arlington, Gen.
R. E. Lee's former residence on the banks
of the Potomac, on the opposite side of the
river from Washington, was, on Thursday,
the 30th of May, visited by seven to ten
thousand of our citizens, who gathered
there to listen to the ceremonies in hcnor
of the brave soldiers who gave their lives
to save their country; and after these cer
emonies to lay fresh flowers upon the
graves of the fallen. The services con
sisted of prayer, music, and addresses, the
principal one being delivered by General
N. P. Banks, member of Congress.
THE EIGHT HOUR MOVEMENT.
The public sentiment here is in full
sympathy with those who are laboring to
legen the number of hours devoted to toil.
All the workmen in the Navy Yards, and
upon Government buildings and other
Federal property in all parts of the Union
are now required to give eight hours only
for a day's work.
The Strikes which commenced in New
York for the eight-hour principle are ex
tending to all the principal cities. There
is no rioting or boisterous proceedings ;
but those engaged are firm against all
compromise and they will ultimately suc
ceed after strong resistance by some of the
employers. Many of the employers have
already yielded ; and are now running their
establishments under the new system.
GREELEY.
The Greeley faction is growing "smaller
by degrees and beautifully less" every day.
The Greeley club in Washington has John
D. Defrees, former Congressional printer,
for its chief manager. At the meeting for
Organization a few evenings since, it was
found that there were not as many members
on the roll as they wanted for officers, a
President and 22 Vice Presidents ; so the
meeting adjourned to recruit. This is the
more damaging to the prospects of the
club, as they had proposed to make Washing
ton a kind of headquarters from which to
issue campaign documents to all parts of
the country.
THE DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT
The Washington Patriot for some few
weeks after the Cincinnati convention,
wrote up Greeley's qualifications and pros
pects in glowing terms. It has however
changed its tone and daily denounces the
nominee of the convention as a vain and
foolish old man, governed by an inordinate
thirst for public office. Here in Washing
ton all the leading democrats are opposed
to endorsing Greeley. This sentiment as
is known here, is extending rapidly through
the southern states.
GREELEY AND THE GERMANS.
A very careful canvass has been made
by parties in Washington to:ascertain how
far Greeley will be supported by the Ger
mans. If the outspoken sentiments of the
German newspapq press can be taken as
an indication of the German sentiment,
Greeley will not draw votes enough from
among that class of citizens to form a cor
poral's guard. I have seen a collection of
quotations including editorals cut from near
ly every German paper printed in the
United States, and all without exception
opposed to the election of the Sage of
Chappaqua. Senator Schurz is terribly
grieved at the nomination and refuses to
give Greeley his aid and support.
THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION,
There has been a very general impression
among leading statesmen in \V ashington
that all those names that have been pressed
for the Vice Presidency will be dropped,
and a compromise vote cast fur General
N. P. Banks. There is certainly no man
in the country better qualified to fill the
office, and probably no one who hasstrong
er claims upon the confidence and affec
tions of all the people.
THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
It is now settled conviction of the leading
statesmen in Washington, including Sena
tors and Congressmen of both parties that
the Baltimore convention will not recog
nise Greeley in their nomination for Presi
dent.
A PUBLIC HOLIDAY,
All the Governmeht Departments, and
nearly every place of business was closed in
Washington on "Decoration day."
MARKET BUILDINGS.
The new market houses just completed
in Washington city, will form one of the
finest markets in any part of the country,
and there are few places where the mark
ets are better filled or contain a greater
variety than in Washington.
PREPARING TO GO.
Congressmen are packing their trunks
and preparing for an immediate departure
for home. They voted to adjourn to-day.
but will hardly be able to do so.
TAX AND TARIFF BILL,
The Senate has passed the House tax
and tariff bill, with a number of amend•
ments, by a vote of 50 to 3.
SUMNER ON THE PRESIDENT.
In the Senate on Friday, Mr. Sumner
made a motion to indefinitely postpone the
sundry civil appropriation bill for the pur
pose of making his speech on the French
arms report, which he characterized as a
whitewashing one, the committee having
been improperly appointed, &c. He then
proceeded to arraign the President in the
most bitter terms, referring to him passing
time in palace cars, with fast horses, and
seaside loiterings. He denounced him for
appointing relatives to office, &c. The
Senate was not very full at the time, not
more than one-half of the Senators being
in their seats. It is generally supposed
that the speech was intended for effect at
Philadelphia and Baltimore.
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.
Pennsylvania Avenue, leading from the
Capitol to the White House, and extend
ing on from the White House to George
town, and from the Capitol on to the Navy
Yard, is about three miles long and 160
feet wide. Between the Capitol and the
President's residence it is paved in the
most approved manner with wood pave
ment, and in a few months the entire
length of three miles will be paved.
The same process is going on upon all
the principal avenues and streets in the

Letter from the West,
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., May 25th, 1872.
Dear Journal: We lei the city of Daven
port on the 20th inst. for Minnesota, by a
steamer of the same name, but after spending
a day and night on the Mississippi, and being
detained three hours by the boat running on a
sand bar, concluded that this kind of speed
did not suit us, in these days of telegraphs
and railroads, and when we reached Dubuque,
we transferred our baggage and ourselves on
board a train running from Dubuque to St.
Paul.
Dubuque is a finely located city on the slope
of the lowa Bluffs, with a population of 25,000.
Here the lowa Division of the Illinois Central
R. R. crosses the Mississippi river, which is
spanned by a magnificent iron bridge. On
our way up to this point, we passed through
several other railroad bridges of similar con
struction • one at Clinton, and one at Daven
port. Th e latter is said to have the largest
draw, for the passage of steamers, in the world.
The drawed is work by a stationary engine. The
route from Dubuque to St. Paul passes through
a fine farming country, dotted all along with
thriving towns. The principle ones being
Waterloo, Charles City, Cedar Falls, and Aus
tin, near the State line, averaging from three
to five thousand of a population. The grain
and grass all along the route is looking well.
We reached St. Paul on the 22d, and stopped
at the Metropolitan Hotel, which by the way
compares favorably with the Girard and Con
tinental Hotels in Philadelphia.
. .
St. Paul is the centre of business for the
North-western States of lowa and Minnesota.
The location is on the north-eastern side of
the river, and has a population of 2,000. The
principle public buildings are the new Custom
House, Opera House, and the Capitol of the
State. The hotels and business houses are
fine structures, generally four and five stories
high, and most by built of a fine quality of Min
nesota granite. The number of railroads enter
ing St. Paul and now in operation, is ten, and
five in progress of building. We visited Lake
Como, one of the most delightful places of re
sort, which is reached by a splendid drive of
three m lee along an avenue of one hundred
feet in width. Fountain Cave, near the banks
of the Mississippi, is a natural curiosity. It is
said to have been explored for a quarter of a
mile. We next visited Fort Snelling, with its
massive looking walls, tower, and bastion,
looking down upon you from the top of the
precipitous bluffs, from the river's brink. It
was built in 1828, as a protection from the In
dians. It is now used a, a supply for the Iron
tier forts. Minnelisha Falls, immortalized by
Longfellow's celebrated poem, is a place of
great resort, and on sunshiny days, beautiful
rainbows add their glory to the scene. Our
next drive was to Col. Wm. S. King's farm,
three miles from Minneapolis ; it contains thir
teen hundred acres, and adjoins Lake Harriet
and Lake Calhoun. He has the reputation of
being the most extensive raiser of blooded
stock in the United States, and probably in
the world. He has now some fifty bead of
blooded horses, among the number some of the
fastest in the west, and one hundred and eigh
ty-five bulls, cows and calves, part of them
Durham, Short Horn, Alderney and Ayershire.
His largest bulls weigh 2500 pounds, and the
cows 2200 pounds, and his prices for these
range from $2,000 to $2,500. He also owns
some two hundred Merino and Southdown
sheep. He has three large barns, closely con
nected, each one of the main buildings are
fifty feet square and three stories high, having
each two wings two stories high and one hun
dred and eighty feet long. The stock is kept
in separate rooms or str.lls, with doors open
ing out into a wide passage way or entry. The
buildings are all planed and painted outside,
and planed and neatly finished inside. Col.
King is now in Washington, and is post mas
ter for the House of Representatives. He has
Dna monaion on the prrenieme, in 'shish his
agent resides. From here we left for Minne
apolis. after a full day's work, and stopped at
the First National Hotel.
Minneapolis is situated on both banks of the
Mississippi, adjacent to the falls of St. Antho
ny. In 1870 the city occupied the west only.
The two cities, St. Anthony and Minneapolis,
have since coalesced under the general name
of Minneapolis, having a population of 26,000.
This city has the prettiest location of any that
we have seen in our travels ; the streets are
very wide and straight, and cross each other
at right angles. The country around it is
rolling and clear of bluffs. Many attractions
center in this city. The Falls of St. Anthony,
seventy five feet in heighth, are much admired
by the visitor. These Falls afford immense
water power, and here are in operation paper,
woolen, grist, planing and other mills. Also
several extensive saw mills, the two largest of
which saw 100,000 feet each per day. We
leave this to-morrow morning for Stillwater,
Pine City, and into the interior to spend a few
days. L.
