GOV T3T\ of Kansas, who is now in tkis£^atedelivering a few addresses in favor of prohibition, and will visit this city shortly, says that while the prohibitory amendment to the constitution in that State was adopted by only about 8,0(f9 majority, he believes thai if now put to a popular vote it would be adopted by 75,000 majority. He says there is practioally no opposition to it except in a few of the larger cities. Prohibition is, as a rule, effectually- Enforced, meets with popular approval and is advancing, instead of retarding, the growth and prosperity of the State. Gov. St. John is, of course, an ardent advocate of the tot^L prohibition theory, and speakfe from his standpoint* But on the other hand men as able, as scholarly and as unprejudiced as ex-pieaident Woolsey, of Yale collego, express sentiments of an opposite character, and Rev. Dr. Andrua, of the M. ET Church, writing from Rome, says* "I h&o seen one drunken, man on this side of the water. The people all uH beer and wine and have no habits of intoxication." It is remarkable with .what sharpness men of equal intelligence, honesty of purpose, aud opportunities for observation are divided on this ques tioBol prohibition.

morning.- Although it may be a night of unsurpassed moonlight splendor—as was the case when the writer pawed over the road—he will see nothing of towns or wheat fields if takes himself to sleep in a sleeper. At Brainard, miles from St. Paul, the main trunk of the Northern Pacific, from Ihilutb, is readied, and the locomotive heads for the West and towards the Paeific. At 5 o'clock, or a little earlier, if he rises, his eyes may look out upon the beginning of the most extensive prairie and plains country east of the Rocky Mountains, undivided by hills of mountains, or river of any note. He will see a few pretty towns and some extensive wheat fields before reaching Fargo. Before entering this pioneer city of the North era Pacific, tha train steps at Moorhead the new city on the east side of Red river. A large, three-story brick hotel called the Jay Cooke House, offers an excellent'table and many well furnished rooms to all who wish to tarry. The Grand Pacific, a much larger building, but built of wood, is to be opened in a few weeks. Moorhead has now not over 1,500 inhabitants. The site or ground for building up a city is better than in Fargo. But ono is in Minnesota and the other in Dakota. Fargo has greatly the start, numbers about 4,#00, and is growing more rapidly than any other place in the Northwest. Three hundred buildings have gone up this season, and at the present time there is great scarcity of material and mechanics Brick command nine dollars a thousand. Real estate has more than thribbled in the last year.* But the train stops but a minute or two, and moves across the river on a wooden bridge of one span, .less than one hundred and fifty feet in length. Treetle work of about one-fourth mile in length, connects the bridge with level grounds. At the Headquarters Hotel—-station hotel— a good breakfast is obtained far seventy five oents, A day's tarry coats three dollars.

And now let us start for Bismark, a distance of 196 miles, across an odeap of prairie and plain, with not a tree, or scarcely a shrub to be seen in the whole distance, no running brooks, no stream worthy the name of a river, no hills or mountains, not an orchard or a fruitful garden, and for the last hundred miles no havds of cattle or flocks of sheep grazing npon the millions of good wild grass pasture north and south of

^fviiat^a/country IBrSugfi "which to build a railroad, by capitalists, and get every alternate section of land in a width of forty miles. In a distance of oyer 300 miles, one bridge of a single span, only 150 feet. Scarcely a cut half as high as the cars, and it may be said that there are no ougs or hills in the whole distance, to shut from view the ooean or level country lying on each aide. But this oountry, from Fargo to Jamestown about 100 miles—has a most wonderful and cheering sight at intervals along the way. It is the time of wheat harvest, and thousands of acres of the golden wheat stand in shocks, and hundreds of self-binding harvesters, with from four to six horses attached, are rolling into bundles the fields uncut. There are but very few small wheat raisers in this great country, as yet. Five hundred acres of wheat is a small raiser. For some distance after leaving Fargo, go ing west, the land is low, and much of ii too wet for cultivation. At Mapleton, tMtteen miles, the great wheat fields ^est of Fargo begin, and the great Dalrfmple farm spreada out, all aglow with wheat stacks and uncut fields, houses and barns, and hundreds of machines for carrying on the work. Casselton, a pretty village station, is twenty miles from 'argo.

All these places named are very pretty village stations. Jamestown is the most important, and is aspiring to be the capital of one of the States to be formed out of Dakota.

Now we have come half way from Fargo to Bismark, and have passed many large wheat farms. The Williams,

It is a treeless and unfruitful expanse of land with but two or three exceptions. At Troy City about half way, and at Steele are large wheat farms. Most of the way the soil is thin, only six to eight inches of black soil, underlaid by heavy hard clay. No cattle, sheep or horses are seen fattening npon the luxuriant wild grasses. This seetion was once the grazing pasture for thousands of Buffalo and droves of An telopes. But they with the Indians are gone too.

But what of the "handMmelakes with wooded banks?" There is not one of them in sight. There are may peuda, mere catch basins, shallow and dirty, not even a green shrub to enliven their banks. Not one with an inlet or outlet as the traveler can judge, not one, a tourist, would not be almost ashamed to embark his fishing canoo. Wild ducks abound in some of them. And now at aix and a-half p. m., we arrive at Bismark. And what sbpll I say of Bismark? Tne less, perhaps the better. Tho Sheridan House is a very good hotel, but not good enough for three dollars a day. Most of the dty is unsightly in buildings or improvements of any kind. The sito Is not pretty, the ground being uneven, sandy, and situated a mile or more from tho Missouri river and the S. B. landing. A A wide river bottom intervenes. As yet there is no railroad bridge across the Missouri river at this point. The Northern Pacific has just commenced one, and it will take two to three years to finish. It will cost several millions. Fort Abraham Lincoln waves the U. S. flag in sight, over on the west bank of the river. The Standing Rock Indian agency is down the river seventy-five miles, and there Sitting Bull and his three hundred warriors are being fed and clothed by a magnanimous government. But Bismark has a modern jail and court house combined. It is a re*»Uy respectable looking building, and cost a^large church or college building, 1 walked up to it, and tho sheriff walked me right into it and all over it. I felt more ashamed of our jail .than ever. I would much prefer to be in jail at Bismark. And here I will dose, with wheat at $1.02 in Fargo. P.

MRS. GARFIELD'S CONDITION.

A spedal dispatch from Washington, sent by the correspondent of the National Associated Press, upon official information furnished by the President's family physicians, ihakes the announcement of a fact which must greatly intensify public interest in the President's case, and add to the sorrowful features of it if the Executive should yet prove a victim to the assassin.

The news relates to the condition of Mrs. Garfield. The lady, as the public already know, has been very ill since her advent to the White House.

Her sickness dates almost from the Inauguration Day. At the time the President was shot Mrs. Garfield's condition was so critical that the physicians who attended ber at Long Branch all tyut despaired of ber raooveiy.

After her recall to Washington by Guite*u's crime, the heroic character of the lady being so strongly appealed to, asserted itself, and from that time she lias apparently been much better.

It is now announced that it is expected that in November next Mrs. Garfield will again become a motfler.

Mrs. Garfield was married to the President in 1856, in ber twenty-third year, y-seventh. She is and be in his twenty-seventh, now in ber forty-sixth year.

When Jt is stated that Mrs. Garfield's conditio! was misunderstood up to the time of the attempted assassination, and only at that time wax its nature made known to ber and the President, the special enormity of Guiteau *s act becomes apparent. Tbe present announcement will cany with it to the American people anew kiea of the patient heroism which has inspired the noble fortitude of the illustrious sufferer at the White House, and that of bis devoted wife, during the long and weary weeks of their unpar-

who advised me to assume to be an art student. Just after we had entered, the model, a girl of eighteen or nineteen, came, and the thirty-odd students, who were smoking pipes, and talking and laughing, greeted her with "good day, mademoiselle,'" and began to prepare for Una. She was a full length. She removed her garments in an uuconcertied manner as she were undressing in her own chamber. Being completely nude, ahe ascended a low platform in the middle of the room and assumed a gracetu{. position. "Will that do she inquired.

Two of tho painters were not satisfied. They told her to lift her right arm a little and to advance her left foot. She obeyed, but still they were not pleased. They went to her, handled her arm and leg as if she had been an automaton, and placed them just as they wanted.

She was French had black hair, very dark eyes, and dear olive complexion, a pretty mouth, a delightful nose, and a charming oval face. I do not know where I have seen so handsome a yonng woman in her nation. There was not the least air of self-con-sdousness about her. I wondered at her complete indifference until I reflected that her posing had nought to do with her morality or immorality that it was simply a business, for whieh she was paid so much an hour. Thestudents sketched her. and were evidently absorbed in their work, regarding her hs a model, not as a woman. Alter perhaps half an hour she had afreet, when she threw a few outer garments over her and sat down by the stove. I went to her side, and remarked: *9 "Madamolselle is verp modest."
