It is no news to the Minneapolis public that efforts have been made, under several municipal administrations, to relieve apothecaries who conduct a lei gitimate business, from the burdensome tax which they are compelled to bear as retailers of spiritoos bquors.

The action of farmer city councils although intended (perhaps) to lie" discreet, and designed, doubtless, to protect the public morals, and to increase the municipal revenues, has had the effect to degrade a profession, not only honorable and responsible, but to the same level with the occupation of dram-selling for the gratification of demoralized appetites. It is notorious that the proprietor of any ordinary bar-room acquires, from the sales of a single month, profit enough to cover the amount of his eiBSON Ac MANCFACTTJBEB8 Of NORTH STAR WOOLENS, OFFER TO THE TRADE A Lorgt Assortment of All Wool Double and Twist and Fancy FOIt T1TE SPMXG These Goods ar sold throughout the State, and aon pies Sent WOOL BOUGHT AT ALL TIMES. 3SON c5 15 March 10. a ui flu ,000 Iiiup. utlery, ware.

Aa ordinance was introduced by Alderman Pomeroy, and passed, adopting substantially the Minneapolis plan of boulevards.

Alderman Pomeroy offered a resolution that a committee of one from each ward be appointed by the Mayor to estimate the amount of funds likely to be in the treasury the ensuing year, and report what appropriations shall be paid from the general fund, and what from each ward fund, and in what proportion such amount shall le divided; said committee to report at next meet ing.

I'mixnps It H. Tbe Juie Plant Intiwdsdnr Hs in the Sooth. I General Capron, the commiiiHiontrof ttgricuiture, itas imported, through the American consul at Calcutta, a small quantity of the seed of the jute plant, with a view to introducing its culture into the extreme section of the Union south of the frost line. It is Wing distributed to planters in Texas and Florida, who will give it a fair tri.il. It is a fibrous plant resembling coarse flax of easy culture and rapid growth, with a comparatively large product The crop when rijie is cut down to the roots, and after being steeped in water for a week or so the lark (dips easy, and the silky fibre is detached, cleaned, assorted, and packed in bales of 300 poondU each.

Its annual product in India is estimated at more than tons. It is the material of which gunny bags and cloth, and bagging for cotton, as well as cheap cordage, mats and carpets are made. Its great use, however, is for baling cotton. As it takes about six" yards to wrap a bale of cotton, a crop of 3,000,000 bales would require, of course, 18,000,000 yards of bagging. The machinery for making it in India is very rude in fact, no progress has been made in it for centuries.

But jute factories of colossal size have been erected in Great Britain, some of which employ 200 hands and work up 1,000 bales per week into bagging, sacking, sheeting, carpeting, dnck, etc. In France some 10,000 tons of raw material are consumed annually and in our Northern States its manufacture is rapidly increasing. Jute is spnn on machinery made on the same principle as that made for flax and hemp, but differing in size and proportion. It is more easily worked than either of these fibers which fact connected with the cheapness of the raw material, accounts for the mpid progress of the jute manufacture in Grejit Britain, compared with linen or hemp. After being used np as bagging, etc, it finds its way to the paper mills for the manufacture of coarse iaper.

Roasting a Earcal. A notorious desperado and murderer, accounts of whose villainy and cruel deeds of blood have often been chronicled by the California aud Arizona papers, has at last been overtaken by justice and a summary and fearful punishment administered for his numerous crimes. He was known as the "Arizona Ruffian" and feared by everybody. A few years ago he robbed an old San Francisco jeweler of $20,000 worth of jewelry, after beating him nearly to death. The police searched for the villain for months, and finally caught him at Fart Prescott, Arizona where he had just arrived from Mexico.

He was a tall, raw-boned individual, named John KeUey. While confined at the Fort, whicfi is situated on a rocky precipice, fifty feet aliove a stream, he broke from his guard-house one night dashedSpast the sentinel, and leaped boldly oveir the cliff, escaping without injury. Hri was next heard of at the Santa Rita mine in Arizona, where he worked at black-smithing, and tried to stab the Superintendent "of the mine, ia Mr. Grosvener. Before leaving he took one of the employes of the mines to his rooms where he opened his trunk and exhibited to him eighteen pairs of human ears, which he said he had cut from the heads of eighteen human persons that he.

had killed and sail he had taken an oath to increase the number to twenty-five ere he stopped. Several months ago he brutally murdered a family of four persons near El Paso del Norte, for the sake of a few dollars. He was finally captured in Arizona by some of the inhabitants who quickly wreaked their vengeance on him. He was taken into a wood some distance from the city, where they tied one end of a rope to the limb of a tree, and to the other fastened Kelley by the heels, ao that his head hung within a few feet of the ground. They then built a slow fire under him and allowed him to re main suspended until death pat an end to ms existence.

jvvi Haw EtaqUs is SvppIM with Pare A Gtmnni KetwUtU at tternip Other IstvroMSta aad Extewdww. It is not generally known that during the winter just passed there has been going on a complete revision of the appliances at the pump house employed to utilize the force necessary to supply the city with water. We made a complete survey of the whole ground yesterday, and as the chonges are of general benefit and of lasting importance, and some of them affect the principle of force pumping, we propose to lay them before our readers. We shall avoid mechanical technicalities as far as we can and give the facts as we saw them. Two Holly pumps have heretofore been in use bnt a new ami miu-h smaller "Torrent" pump, from Wis-well Co.

Boston, is being put in to supply the ordinary uses of the city. The large pumps are to be used only in case of fire, either one of them being sufficient in case the other is disabled, to give ample force. The suction pipes which fed the pumps were formerly carried up directly from the bulkhead and so near the foundation wall of the building and the surface of the earth that thev were snbiect to the action of the cold, and frequently froze. To obviate this difficulty two reservoir pipes 18 inches in diameter, cast at the North Star Iron Works. St Anthony, have been put in, into which the suction pipes are inserted, in such a manner that the water in the reservoir pipes is twelve i feet perpendicularly from the ice ior-' mation in' the coldest weather, and ho far from the bulkhead wall that tltcy receive the benefit of the heat of tite wheel-room below.

Formerly both Holly pnmps were re quired to run 45 revolutions per minute to supply the city with 35 pounds pres sure of water to the inch. Now one pump running at the rate of 15 revolutions per minute gives 45 pounds pressure. This is a 'sav ing oi friction ana motive power that is only appreciated by engineers, but it makes available in an emergency an extraordinary pressure force, which will be found of advantage when the necessity arises for its use. A new ar rangement of foot valves, to oetermine whether the pumps are always charged with water, has been made, bringing them from a place down in the wheel room cp into the pump room, where thev can be observed at any time. These foot valves are gauges or indica tors.

The water, by the new location of the reservoir and suction pipes, has been brought fifteen feet nearer the pumps, creating a much better vacuum. A steadier stream is made by a change in Valves operating on the air chambers. The straining of the water which is received from the canaL it done by strainers east into the entrance of the reservoir pipes. The machinery runs smoother, quieter, and is vastly more reliable in winter and summer than ever before, and the motive force brought to bear against the water by the changes have indicated, has been more than doubled. Last fall the capable Johnny Furniss day and night in charge of the pump-house suggested a new feature of hydrants, which are destined ultimately to be used in the city.

They are similar to others in use in cities east, and are absolutely ice proof. The water in the hydrant conducted from the mains, is regulated by a valve below the street which is fully eight feet from the surface. Th hydrant comes to the surface and is enclosed in a cast iron box about a foot square, covered with a flit cast iron lid, making a portion oi the street surface, over which teams may run away and do no damage to the hydrant, as has been done in so many instances. The water is taken from these hydrants by an extra brass butt for each hose company, with two mouths for hose attachment Two of these hydrants were put in latt fall, one at the corner of Cataract and Second streets and the other in front of O. B.

King's Grist uiilL During the severest weather of the winter they were frequently opened, and not the least appearance of ice was found. They will be an excellent subst itute for the ungainly boxed up apparatus which encloses the hydrants in use -up town. The bonds voted to be applied to the extension of the water works will be sufficient to double the combustible area covered by the city water works, and the immunity from conflagration will repay the expenditure hundreds of times. We would not close this sketch with out a tribute of praise to CoL J. B.

Clough, who has superintended, and Johnny Furniss who has executed the improvements that have been developed in the plan of supplying a city of pure water. Many of the details have been the result of suggestions of Mr. Furniss, and he deserves -commendation for his faithfulness and his signal capability for the position he fills. The pump house is now being repainted, and trimmed up for the season, and the latch-string is always out to all who desire to inspect the'' machinery and oli-serve its application. ST.
