ICxt liveit a ml rIai gtnient.
From the St. Faul Pioneer ari l Democrat.
A few weeks ago we mentioned
the fact of a number of our leading-
citizen?:, having formed them
selves into an Association for the
establishment of a social club in
this city, and gave at the time a
full list of the officers of the Asso
ciation, which is known as the
" .Minnesota Club.' The club now
numbers something like a hundred
members, embracing many of our
wealthy retired citizens a"nd lead
ing business men of St. Paul.
Shortly alter their organization the
Executive Committee of the club
leased the well known former resi
dence of Bardett Presley, Esq.,
on Eiclith street, for a term of
years, and work was at once com
menced in thoroughly overhauling,
repairing and otherwise fitting it
to meet the wants and convenience
of the club. This work has been
in progress for several weeks, and
is so iar completed that the house
was formally thrown open for the
use of the members on Thursday
evening last.
A brief description of the inside
appearance and the management
of tiiis, the lirst Club House ever
established in Minnesota, may not
be without interest to our readers,
and hence we take the liberty of
withdrawing the curtain of exclu
siveness and allowing the public
gaze to rest for a moment upon
what is reserved entirely for the
benefit of the favored few who are
aniontr the " elect.1'

massive Corinthian pillars and the

better selection of a steward could
not have been made. Capt. Max

thousands to seek a home in our ,
State, they have -one farther and ;
at great expense have fitted up
temporary homes for them on their
arrival, in which they can remain
at little expense until they have
selected, and in some measure
I prepared, a home for themselves.
V e mentioned some time ago the
erection of a large building at
Clear Lake Station, on the line of
I the road for this purpose. Since
thcn t10v imve ntte(l up' a milar
buildnig at Pleasant Valley station,
and now Ave have to mention one
more instance of their generous,
thoughtful care for these poor
exiles from their native land. The
company have taken and fitted up
the large stone warehouse adjoin
ing the offices of the company near
their depot. This substantial ;
structure is 150 feet deep by SO in '
width, with two floors. The com
pany have provided a large cook
ing stove with all the furniture
complete, for the use of emigrants
in cooking, and divided the two
floors by partitions for the accomo
dation of both the women and
men. The w hole establishment is
placed under the charge of Jacob
Christianson, a Norwegian. Here
is ample room to sjielter those
larcre bodies of immigrants who
could not find accommodation at
any hotel, or w ho are too poor to
pay for them. It will answer as a
sort of transfer house, where they
can find not only shelter for them
selves, but storage room for their
baggage until they can be fur
warded to the other immigration
depots of the company along the
line above mentioned, and from
thence scatter out to the homes
they have selected. This is at
once a wise and humane act on
the part of the company, taking
upon themselves as it were, the
entire expenses of an establishment
that it seems to us should be borne
by the city, in part at least.
The Company have just receiv
ed a letter from Col. Mattson,
their special agent in Sweden and
Norway, dated April 8th. It was
written" at Gotten berg, w here he
was superintending the embarka
tion of a colony of both Swedes
and Norwegians aOO in number.
They come by steamer, in charge
of Captain. Lindberg, wdio will
bring them direct through to St.
Paul, where they are expected to
arrive about the 10th of this
month. This colony has been se
lected from among those who are
familiar with stock raising, and
will settle upon the fine meadow
lands on St. Francis river, in Sher
burne county, and engage in stock
raising. Some of them are poor,
and those the Company will en
deavor to find homesteads for, and
the balance, with more or less
means, will take lands of the Com
pany, but will all turn their atten
tion to raising stock, for which
purpose the hauls above mention
ed are admirably adapted, not
withstanding their long neglect,
and often unjust denunciation br
other localities. Col. Mattson was
to return to Christianstadt, in
Sweden, to organize other similar
colonies! He will return to this
country about the 1st of June.
He writes that the excitement in
regard to emmigration to Minne-

She has emerged from her swad

by the laws of Spain, entitled to
be free. She is now considering
the question of a new alliance.
She evidently has no u affinity"
for the old monarchy under which
she has been held in subjection.
If Ave correctly discern her prefer
ence, they are for an alliance with
her next door neighbor, the United
States ; and if this really be her
choice, her preference shall be re
spected. She is of lawful age, is
vigorous, healthy, plucky, and we
think it but rigid that she take
her place in that family of nations
with w hich all her interests are nat

Until within the past few years,
fallen women have been virtually
ignored by Protestant Christians
as subjects of religious efforts.
They have been given over by so-
ciet-y, with scarcely an effort to
reach and restore them. For every
other class of repenting sinners, a
way and a refuge were open, but
for this there were none. The
have bitterly " abandoned wom
en," abandoned apparently by
God and man, as hopeless and lost;
but the few efforts that have been
made among them have been quite
as successfull as among almost any
other class.

Guardian society altout four months
since, has had thirteen fallen wom
en under its care. Of these seven
have already given good evidence
as far as man can judge of hav
ing become Christians. One who
was brought to the Asylum against
her will proved n-atractory, and
was sent to the House of Befuge,
One has died peacefully, trusting
in Jesus. And one, n beautiful
girl of fifteen or sixteen years of
ao'c, was legally married, at the
Asylum to her seducer.
The most of them are quite
young girls. They have with one
exception, proved orderly and in
dustrious, gladly doing Avhatever
work was given them and appar
ently feeling very grateful for the
refuge opened for their rescue.
The ladies under whose care the
Asylum is placed feel that only the
grace of God in the heart is strong
to enable their charges to perser
vere in their new life' so they
have made conversines to Christ
the chief aim of all their efforts.
Besides the religious meetings held
twice a week by the lady manag
ers, and family worship each dar
by the matron, the girls hold pray
er meetings among themselves al
most every evening-, and show an
earnest desire to be taught the
way of life.
Statistics gathered by theAmer
can Commission from reliable sour
ces, Loth in Great Britain and in
our lamb show that the the great
est number of fallen women are
seduced between the ages of fif
teen and sixteen. The average
life after they enter upon their
course of sin, is four years. Usu
ally they die at twenty-three to
twenty-five years of age.
In bt. Louis the number of pros
titutes is estimated ato,0C0. In
New York city the number of open
prostitutes is estimated at 7,500,
those w ho visit houses of assigna
tion, 2,500: making a total of 10,
000. Of these, more than l,S0O
die yearly in their sins.
It is very difficult to obtain re
liable statistics on this subject, but
the few within ourrtach ?how that
every year thousands of immortal
souls, belonging to this class of sin
ners, are passing from all around us,
through their dark, rapid course of
sin, down to death, with scarcely an
outstretched arm to arrest and save
them. Thousands of this class
pass from our midst in the morn
ing of their lives every year, in
to eternity, with all their burdens
of guilt upon them with scarce
ly an effort made to lead them to
the lamb of God, wdio did not,
(John, 8th eh. 3d to 12th verses),
and does not, turn away even from
the repenting Magdalen.
Professing followers of the meek
and holy Jesus, is the "disciple
above his master?" Have you 110
duty to try to reach and rescue
those for whom, as well as for you,
a Savior died?
Party lines in Virginia arc
now being determined by the con
Aiding commercial interests of the
State. The competing railroad
lines enter into the contest and
control the issues. This is a heal
thy and encouraging indication.
Although railroads in politics as a
general rule are not conducive to
official integrity and incorruptibili
ty, yet any interest of trade is a
great advance on the ignorant pas
sion and crude nonsense which
have hitherto constituted the web
and woof of Southern political life
and practice.
Annexation is still at issue in
Conada- The Domiuin crumb has
not seriously checked the advance
of the liberals. In the House of
Commons, the other day, the whole,
matter was very freely and fully
discussed, and the question of
" new nationality" advanced and
argued with a confidence which
would secrn to imply coming action.
