Froude writes to the London
Times that in 1871 Carlyle gave
.him the manuscript of his reminis
cences, with instructions attached
thereto. Froude expressed the
opinion that a greater part .df the
reminiscences should be published
as it was. Carlyle replied that be
left the matter to Froude. He
accepted the trust only out of re
gard for Carlyle, and two years ago
surrendered it lo Carlyle niece.
He should he very loth to give
further explanation.
On a certain day, years ago, two
men and an Indian 'squaw arrived
at a swamp spot with a wagon.
They went to work and Muck up
a rude shanty. A man snot a
woodchuck and the squaw skinned
and cooked it. They ate the
woodchuck, ihen they all crawled
into the shanty and went to sleep.
These proceedings, ridiculous as
they may seem, are to be cele
brated in grand style with much
braying of trumpets, and beating
of drums. Much gunpowder is to
be fired and several men blown up
to celebrate the shn-ing of the
woodchuck. In the proceedings
of those two men and that squaw
consisted the founding of Chicago.
One of the great mineral won
ders of the world is the iron moun
tain in the stale of Duration. -The
mountain is nearly two miles in
length and one mile wide, and
about TOO feet high. About the
surface, uncovered and in bight, is
shown about 00,000,0(10 tons of
pure ore ready to be shoveled or
rolled without anv cost of niiiiinjr,
into the furnaces at its base. Much
of this ore ranges from seventy to
ninety per cent, and some is car
ried directly to the forge. It
works very kindly, and there is
every reason to believe ores of
such superiority, when subject to
all our modern improvements in
iron working, will produce iron
and steel unsurpassed anywhere in
the world.
The grain movement down the
Mississippi from St. Louis to New
Orleans shows an incresising vol
ume. Last week three tows went
down having fifteen barges in all,
and carrying an aggregate of 71G,
000 bushels of grain. In all
there have been o.730,000 bushels
of bulk -grain shipped from St.
Louis by river since tin; opening
of navigation February 10th,
which is 570-OOt) bushel, more
than had been shipped at this date
last year, although navigation was
resumed just six weeks sooner in
1SS0. Everything indicates that
1)3' the time the river has been
open as long this year as last year,
shipments will be double what
they had been last year.
The Pacific Northwest lias a
reputation in other parts of the
world for being an exceedingly
wet region, where rain falls about
two-thirds of the time and the
people are compelled to wear gum
boots and oil-km clothing. 13ut
for the last month or so, while the
country east of the liockies has
been visited by snow storms, wind
storms, floods, etc., this section has
experienced the most beautiful
spring weather, exceedingly pleas
ant, with just enough rain to make
vegetation grow and flourish as it
does only in Oregon and the ad
joining regions. We ought to
hear but little about Oregon rains
and floods and bad weather after
this season. Don' you think so?
John Grossley & Son, of Eng
land, have instituted a. suit against
the city of ?ev Orleans, in the
United States Circuit court, for the
sum of $43G,7S2 50, being the
amount of drainage warrants held
by them. One hundred and seven
ty thousand dollars of these war
rants were issued by the city as
part of $3,000,000 purchase price
paid by the city for the rights and
property of the Mexican Gulf and
Ship Canal company, of which the
petitioners are successors, and the
remainder of the warrants "were
issued for work alleged to have
been performed by said company.
The petitioners allege that the city
has made no efforts to collect the
drainage tax levied to pay these
warrants; that there is S70,000 of
this tax now due, and they ask for
such order in relation to this mat
ter as the court may see fit to
issue,.

What's Beeehcr trying to get
through him now? In a lecture
last Friday night speaking of the
Chinese treaty, he is reported to
have said: That the boasted
institution and policy of America
were a sham if its people were not
willing lo have Chinese or any
other people as citizens. Said he:
'We will assimilate all people
who come to us. When a lion
eats an ox the lion does not turn
into an ox, but the ox turns into a
lion. So an emigrant comes to
our common schools, which are the
stomach of the country, and he
and his children are assimilated by
our people
