MINNESOTA CORRESPONDENCE. | MiINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 24,1874, | To the Editor of the National Banner: . | | No doubt my long sitence has | led ‘ you—as well as the many friends v;vho ‘ expressed a desire that I should write I to them through the BANNER—to donclude that my promises were “wogl'ds of promise to the ear, but pledges broken to the hope.” Inow take pleasure in redeeming my word, and. in cdmmunicating to my friends, through the Baxngr, such facts concerning Imy new home as I may deem of inter:st. I arrived here on the eve of the ith of this month, filled with Tndiana malaria and the farewell remembran{:es of my Ligonier friends, but cheerful as td®he future. § THE CLIMATE. = To any one accustomed to the peculiar climate of Indiana, with its malaria—its sudden and unaccountable changes, its sultry days and still more sultry nights—the change from an Indiana to a Minnesota atmosphere is like the change from a dungeon to the bright, pure sunlight o§ a May morn. The thermometer here - may reach an hundred or more and yet the heat is not oppressive, fior there comes with the heat, from sonie* where, a constant,steady breeze—light, pure, balmy, invigorating and inspiring—which gives new zeést to the system, fresh impulse to the blood, a'ndi a happy, invigorating tone to the whole internal. machinery of man. AIId when the sun sinks to rest in the western horizon, and man, weary with tlie cares, labors and burdensiof: the daﬁu seeks his couch, it is not to roll and toss in the agonies of a sleepless, su!- ‘ try, stifling atmosphere, but to sleep;—%— with a blanket, and, it may be, an additional comforter drawn closely about - him—fanned to rest with the gentle zephyrs of a Lake Superior breeze. | - When the morning dawns, the sleejper rises with new vigor, new life, new: courage — refreshed, invigorated and rested. The first awakening is a d?acisive one. There is no sluggish desire to take another nap, no uching.limbfs, ‘lo weary bones.” Nature hath doxf;e der perfect work: When I add to the above a further fact, that during tlfie | past two weeks we have had three (;)r “four refreshing showers, I trust my ~description of our climate will not appear incredible to even my Nolle county friends. ; o THE CITY. ’ Minneapolis has improved wondér- - fully since my visit here in May last. Magnificent business blocks, built pf brick and stone, three stories high, now stand where cellars were being excavated in May — splendid monuments to the thrift, enterprise and goaheadativeness of our citizens. ¢ . Everywhere in the business portion of the city business houses are in piocess of erection, while throughout tﬁle city new residences—many of -them ! palatial —- are being built. Néw churches, new colleges, new forty thousand dollar ‘Ward school-housés, new mills, factories, ete., are going I‘{lp. Everywhere, on every street, in evéry ward, and almost in every bloek, tfhe ‘work of improvement goes rapidly forward. The whole city has the appearance of a vast work-shop; the click of the hammer, the tingle of the trowel, the hum of the saw, and the “pick,” “pick,” of the stone-sledge, dare heard on every hand, keeping time to the music of St. Anthony’s I'f:l'llsf. Millions of dollars will this year be invested in public and private improvements.. Think of it! il ! PERSONAL. }, Our esteemed friend, Wm. S. Best, Esq., so well and fovorably knownito many of the readers of the BANNER, and who is now one of the l:md@ed ~proprietors of this city, met with quite an unfortunate accident on Saturd{}ly last, the facts being about as follows: Mr. Best was emptying the chambeérs of his breech-loading rifle of unéx,— /plode(l caps, when one accidental{ly, “and unaccountably exploded, the cap ~ entering the centre of the palm of Ixis left hand and penetrating to the bone —a depth of about three-fourths|of an fnch—where it lodged. Had it not strick the bone, the velocity would have sent it through the hand. Two hours of probing, and two hours of intense pain, manfully and grittily endured, and the cap was extracted. The wound is a painful though not dangerous one, and with good ecdre will be healed in a week or two. - As soon as the wound is healed, I predfet that revenge will be duly taken bn prairie chickens (Sine. being as entliu]'siustic and successful a sportsman jas ever), an abundance of them bheing found in this State. t The tenor of this letter will doulbt- ¢ less indicate to the reader the state of my health and the enthusiastic condition of my spirits, but lesgil be misunderstood, I will just say 'that I am well, cheerful and hopeful. = | I trust my enthusiastic admiration of this city and our climate will have a good effect upon some of my malarhastricken Indiana friends, and that they will imitate my example and test for, themselves its invigorating virtués, . L. H. GREEN. RGSO TR . MICHIGAN LETTER. PENTWATER, Aug. 23, "4, EpiToß BANNER:-—I do not know the terms foryour paper, however, I will venture tb send $1 for six months. I have come to the corclusion that it ~would be a great comfort to have my old home paper to read during my leisure moments. I imagine I could value one single number worth a dollar if now before me. i - I will endeavor to give you a few items, of the city where I now’ reulfh. “as far as T'am posted, though I have lonly been here since the first of this month and cannot give as good a deseription of the surroundings of the place as I should like, . L - Pentwater has a population of abeut 1,500 and is pleasantly situated on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, The are splendid mill-privilegés-here, 3 we have four good saw-mills and one shingle-mill, in connection with which

are large boarding houses especially | for the accommodation of men in the employ of the lumbering companies. We also have two first-class hotels, four drug-stores and no liquor saloons, but the soda water flows quite freely. There are five dry goods stores, six or seven grocery stores and two millinery establishments. We have a daily line of steamers from Millwaukee and another of shore boats from Grand Haven going north to Grand Traverse | City, touching this place each day and making connection with trains on the Chicago and Lake Shore road, which terminates at this place. 3 Peaches and small fruits, such as blackbeérries, raspberries, etc., are in abundance here, but apples, pears and plums’are very scarce, only as they are shipped to this market from other points. © The country is'so new that the apple orchards have not yet commenced bearing. In what I haveseen of ‘the farming country, the future prospects look very flattering. One would almost think they had got into an uncivilized country, to see the Indians trailing to town, and the squaws, with their little pappooses strapped upon their backs, wandering through the sand. We have sand-hills here that look like mountains to me.

I am going out on the Lake for a sail this afternoon and the appointed time is fast approaching, and as I have already wearied your patience, I will bring my scribbling to a elose. JENNIE PorEJoy. ’ : i DeKalb County Items. [From the Waterloo Press, Angust 27th.) The apple crop, it is said, will not be as large as was expected earlier in the season. . . i Kendallville merchants will hereafter look with suspicion upon wouldbe customers from Waterloo. - Hon. J. . Baker will make his first three speeches in this county at Corunna, Spencerville and Butler. ‘

The teachers in different counties are taking action against the repeal of the County Superintendent law, and we presume the teachers of this county wiH also do so. . : “Some months ago we referred to an enterprise in contemplation by the Catholic society of this place. The building -of the minister’s residence and school was postponed last spring, but it is now the intention of the society to commence operations at once, and complete them at as early a day as practicable. ' ~ The long and severe drouth happily terminated on Friday night last. The slight sprinkle of the afternoon was followed by copious showers during the night, and we awoke on Saturday morning to realize that sand-storms and suffocating heat were ended for a season. The rain, although late for the corn and potatoes, will be of great advantage to the country in many other respects.” -

. Lagrange County Items. [From the Lagrange Standard, Aug. 27 )

The rains.came too late to save the corn and potato crops. The corn crop in the county will hardly be one-third the average, and the potato crop but little, if any better, - The domestic elements are certainly in a perturbed state. Eleven applications for divorce are already on file, and it is yet seven weeks until court time. ¢

We do not believe there was a single delegate at the congressional convention but who attended wholly at his own expense, and expressed freely and unembarrassed his choice for Congress. , .

There is quite a difference in wheat buying between this year and last, at this place. There were, we understand, 15 car loads of wheat shipped from here, between the 25th of July and the 22d of August, last year. During the same time this year 101 car loads-have been shipped, 58 by Ellison and 43 by Rose, in all about 35,500 bushels. | e Indistinet Ailments. : There are many distressing symptoms of disease the causes of which are uncertain. Debility, nerveus irritation, mental stupor, and headache, for instance, may possibly be symptomatic of chronic disease in some particular organ; yet, in a large majority of cases, at least, they arise from indigestion,’and morbid conditions of the liver and bowels engendered by a foul stomach. When this is the case a few doses of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will usually effect a complete cure, but should the symptoms be only mitigated without being entirely removed, by a brief course of the remedy, let it be continued until every trace of disease has vanished. Dyspepsia is a wonderful mimic., It imitates with startling accuracy the indications of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and half a dozen other frightful ailments, and when the doctors have solemnly announced the existence of one or other of these complaints, half a dozen doseés of the Bitters will, in most cases, explode their theories by curing the patient. 19-4 et B— That Rejected Constitution. The result of the Ohio Election, upon the adoption of the new, Constitution is a majority of from ‘fifty to sixty thousands against that instrument.— 1t is a sad rebuff to the assemblage of Solons who conceived and brought forth that ponderous document. The Convention was in session for ‘about six months and it comprised many men of ability. But it so happened that there were a good many lawyers among its members and the people got it into their heads that they had put up the document in their own interest, and the sturdy yeomanry went for it. Thus many thousands of the people’s money have been squandered and nothing to show for it. The proceedings and debates of the Convention are now in press and the workmen are busy getting them finished, ‘and there will be scores of ponderous ‘VOlllxmes of them. The Constitution is now dead, and those books will be of no more use than so much waste paper. They . are talking about stopping work upon the publication of them.—Pery Sentinel.

Edward Bayer, Esq., Horton, Kings Co., N. 8,, writes that an astonishing cure has been effected on his daughter by the use of Johnson’s Anodyne Liniment. The whole spine became diseased, she lost the use of her limbs, and her back was rounded up like a bow, in consequence of taking cold after having been innoculated for the kine pock. She is now well. We pledge our reputation on the assertion that any educated physician, after a careful examination of the reci?ie' will say that Parson’s Purgative Ils possess moremerit than any other pill how offered for sale. et I¥ Theodore Tilton and Mrs. Hooker are insane along with the Woodhulls and all that free-love ilk, what becoi:ms “ohf |Henry Ward(.xof ;l;gzx 8 83 " e . r',‘f 7 g;ill)t%nlye%mbf!es o:iz-sglonry’s philosophy, against which I recorded my protest so many years ago ?”’ i

JOHN H. BAKER. ] ! This gentleman was nominated by the Republicans of this Distriet for Congress, at Kendallville. For sever- ‘ al years past there has bieen a rivalry | between Mr. Baker’s friénds and some | of the more prominent Republican leaders of the District, and it is even hinted since his nomination, that his vanquished rivals will stab him in the | dark whenever opportumity offers.—-’ While the nominee may have beenthe thoice of very many of the lesser lights of the Republican party, certain it is that George Moon, Hiram Iddings, Gen. Blair, Judge Tousley and- others of that stripe, are sorely discomfitted over the nomination.. Judge Clapp, of Noble county, and H. G. Thayer, of Marshall county, were ‘the opposing candidates for the nomi‘nation, and not until assistance from a northern county arrived late in the afternoon, was Mr. Baker’'s nomination effected, and then only by three majority. Of the merits of the nominee it is but just to say that he has the reputation of being a young man of - fair ability and has been a candidate for the same position several times before, but the Warsaw politicians with'the aid of a few outsiders, succeeded, each time in choking him off. He is a son-in-law of Hon. Joseph Defrees, a retired old gentleman who used to figure a little in local politics years ago. This year, when placehunters are congiderably a4t a discount, and the peoplé looking around for Representatives not of the party, but of themselves, the Republican majority in this District is not so reliable as it was two years ago, and the right kind of a People’s candidate may make it not impossible to overcome that majority. Not to say anything against Mr. Baker that may in any way be charged to prejudice, it is well known here, and ir: Elkhart county, that he belongs to that class of people usually termed aristocrats; he is a man who has but little in commeén with farmers, mechanies and laborers. Ie is a man apt to gain popularity in the social circle of the opulént and fashionable, not with the masses of the rural distriets. | (These traits of ¢haracter somewhat unfit him to represent this District, composed ds it is, ninetenths of working people and one tenth of the class for whom hé would be a proper representative.— Warswa Unton. §

Democracy and Education. A great-amount of Republican indignation has been expeided upon the resolution adopted by thie Democratic State conventiondemanding the repeal of the county superintendency act.— The Democratic party: is- charged with a desire that the ¢ountry shall return to a state of bapbarism; and that ignorance and gross;mental darkness shall cover the land. We do not indorse the resolution, and think that its adoption was ill-advised, and without due consideration; but there can be no-excuse for the ab‘ogﬁin}xble falsehoods and misyepreseritations from Republicans which it has called forth. The reasons given for its introduction into the platform were!that in some of the small counties o¢f the central and southern portion of the State, the expense of the county! superintendent’s office was as high as $1,200 per year; and that a feeiingf]md arisen in the minds of the people that the work of that officer could be performed for much less than one-half of that amount. This was no| fault of the law. The evil of exorbitant charges ean be remedied by the county commissioners; and they, alidnot the law, are to blame for their existence. But the demand of thg Democratie platform for the repeal ¢f a portion of the school law, leaving if with the people to devise a better plan to forward the interests of education, at less expense, or to gat greater benefits for the money paid, is certainly no cause whatever for charging that the Demecratic party is oppaosed to the educa‘tion of the people. The law by which the school fund of Indiana, the largest am}t best managed fund in the United States| was created, and nurtured for many years, was the work of Democrats; Democratic counties collect and disburse as much school tax as Republican counties; the best educators'in the State are Democrats; and Democrats pay their tax as willingly as any other class of citizens; and to say that the Democratic party of this State is “opposed to education, proves nothing, only that the man who says it is either knave or fool. The tiine, when such charges can be effective against the Democratic party, passed away with the hallucination tliat the Republican party possessed all the intelligence and decency.—Plymouth Democrat. i

APPLETON’S - AMERICAN CYCLOPADIA. New Revixed Edition. ‘ Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every | subject" Printed from cew type, and {l- | lnstrated with SBeveral Thousand En- - ‘ gravinge'and Mape. Tur work originally published under the title of Tur NEw AukRICAN CYOLOPASDIA Was completed in 1863, since which time the wide circalation which it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal d'eveloi)mente witich have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art. have induced the editors and publishers to rubmit 1t to an exact and thorough revirion, -and to issuz a new edition entitled THR AMERIOAN CYOLOP&DIA. : £y ¥ Within the lagt ten years the progress of dircovery in everly(' department of knowleﬁge has made a new work of reference an imgerative want. The movement of political affaire has kePt pace with the dircoveries of science, and their fruitful agphcation to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and retinement ofgocial life. Great warg and consequent revolutions have occarred, involvinf.{ national changes of peculiar moment,— The civil war of vur own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work -appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. i 7 Large accessions to our geographical knowl¢dge have been made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. ; ~ The great political revolutiong of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapee of time, have bronght into public view, a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battle 8 have been fought and impertant sieges maintained, ot which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic hizlory. - In preparing the present edition for the press it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the lategt possible dates, and to furnieh an accurate account of the most recent dixcoveries in gcience, of every fresh production in literature, and of the'newest inventionsin the practical artg, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical events. The work has been begun atter long and care ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a succesaful termination. None of the original gtereotype plates have been ueed, but every page has been printed on new type, forming 1n fact a new C‘yclupedia with the same plan and compasg as.its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with -uch improvements in ite composition as have been suggested dy longer experience and enlarged knowledge. ‘The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the prezent edition have been added not for the sake of I.nctorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They emb?ce all branches of explanations in the text. They.embrace all brancﬁes of #cience and of matural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture. and art, as well a 8 the various processer of mechanics and manufactures. Althonih intended for instruction rather than embellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the coet of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will ind a wel%ome reception a 8 an admirable feature of the yclopdia, and werthy of ite high character. This work 1e sold to Snbscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume.
