The lands where these beds exist (have "been surveyed as mineral land and withheld from the market until some just plan could be devised for selling them. Not even a homesteader has been allowed to locate any land crossed by a vim of this valuable mineral. After all the efforts which have been made to let the people at large enjoy the full benefit of this their only supply of fuel for domestic and ufaoturing purposes, we are informed that on Saturday last, senator Thayer, of Nebraska, introduced a bill in the United States senate, authorizing the Union Par- cine railroad, take up coal land necessary to" operate the toad." This same company thought it necessary for the government to authorize an issue 4f $28,000 in bonds and 12,000 acres land per mile for the purpose of building a road "where it did not cost to exceed $10,000 per mile, so that we may safely calculate that they will think it necessary, to secure all the coal within one hundred miles of the road at least for operating purposes There is no question but that this bill will become a law under the pressure of the railroad lobby which the present congress seems powerless to resist.

Then every miner, farmer and all other citizens of those territories who are engaged in a legitimate busines, must pay an enormous tribute to this powerful, corrupt corppraw tion. The government might as well give this company a quit claim deed of that section of country lying between the Missouri river and tbe eastern line of California, first as last, thing of value which it contains is rapidly passing into their hands, and that too without the slightest equivalent being given in return.

This worthy divine testines that not long ago WhUtemore came to his house with a number of echcol mistresses -whom he was escorting into the interior of the state, and dinner for the party.

Everything quiet and peaceful when he left, but it was hard to say "what a day might bring forth," THE WEST WISCONSIN editor of The Hudson'Star has taking a trip with president Baldwin over the line of the West Wisconsin, railroad 7 and here is what be says of the road and $he country through which it passes: It is completed from Tomah to Augusta, 70 milee; and the is pronounced iby railroad men the best in the state. From Acgustato Eau Claire, 25 milee, the grade is nearly finished, and laying the iron will begin next week, and the track be completed to Eau Claire from the 1st to the 15th of July. The bridges across the' Ban Claire and Chippewa rivera are nearly ready for use. There is eight, milea graded west of Eau Claire, and the work is being pushed rapidly toward Menomonie.

This will complete, the road to' within 40 miles of the St. Croix, which point it will 'och early next season. Tfie country through which the road runs is meeting with a marvelous growth. Where two or three years ago there was scarcely a settler, there now rich farming neigh borhoods and; thriving villages.

Tpmah the present southern terminus, has suddenly grown from a little hamlet to a bustling village: Black River Falls, has 'greatly inw proved; at Hum bird where a year ago there was not a bouse nor a foot of land there is now a lively town, and new ings are going up. almost daily. Augusta, which wad but a stage station when the road commenced, now claims 1,500 to 2,000 habitants, and ia constantly increasing in business and population. The prospect of the early completion of the road to Eau Claire has a new impetus to the growth of that enterprising city, and 1 substantial business blocks and elegant resix denoea are going up on every hand. So itjrill be along the entire route.

New settlements spring qp, wild lands will come fertile fields, the timber of the forests will be used for the idle streams will turn the busy wheels of useful machinery, and a new channel of 'trade and commerce will follow swift upon the laying of the iron track. Present business will be stimulated, new enterprises organized, property become and manufacturers greatly enhanced.

It was pf everything and had no allusion, save a passing one, to her "distinguished: mother." A hoary-headed oldy lanky, gentleman in 1 audience muttered something between bis teeth, to the effect that he wanted to "hear something about Lola Montez," which intimation greatly excited the princess, and caused her to exclaim, with' at tragic effect: wantto fling my illegitimacy in my face, sir? yon are Mr.

This created a profound sensation, cries arose of "put him out! put him and hands were actually; laid on the poor old soul for that purpose. Peace waa restored, and "the princess" proceeded to admonish, women against ionabie attire, and to recommend them to rely on man.
