Free homes for everybody! The poor man’s paradise! - Health, wealth and hap- piness to all!” Two years ago every city in the country was flooded with circulars of the above tenor, issued in behalf of the Northern Pacific country. Kvery newspaper in that r n was full of laudation of its advan to settlers. A gigantic hoom was result, Every train coming into St. Paul w vmmed to its capacity by home seekers, forame-seckers and health-se ers. Shipload afier shipload of Scandina- vians were deposited at stations along the line of the Northern Pacific ra ulyuul under the Villard adihinistration, until it seemed as if the whole region was to be settled up at onee. The boom has busted. All the present fall there has heen a growing exodus, un- til now scarcely a train goes eastward without bearing from one hundred to three hundred disheartened men who re. gret their venture, and are soceking a more congenial field of labor. T rocently talked with a settler from northern Dakota who had bought a small claim there two years ago. ‘Do I like the country?’ said he, in answer to my inquigy,-**Does a man like to be robbed? I've farmed there two years, and besides my work I am just $600 behind, 1 went for my health, had heard of the wonder- ful ‘ozone’ that braced a man up, the en- tire absence of malarfa. Well, I didn’t get malaria, but I got the catarrh so bad- Iy that my head roars like s drum; the sharp air braced me up, sure enough, but my jolats are so full of rheumatism that I move about like a:skeleton on wires.” “Ivs a_ money-making country for some people,” continued the farmer, “‘but the way it's done wonldn’t pass muster in all sections, An honest man is called a ‘chump’ out there, Ho always gets his pockets turned inside out some way orother. I'll just tell you how they worked it on me. The town I was tick- eted for had fally 2,000 inhabitants in it, with achools, churcnes, mill and factories in full blast. That is what the local pa per said that they gave me at the land office in St. Paul. When I got oft the cars I found that paper was just one ci- pher out of the way—200 was a fair esti- mate. About 100 of these were laborers building a sidetrack and living in cars, They went away in two weeks. OF the other 100 at least 50 were lawyere, real estate men and money lenders. The bal- auce were ‘chumps,’ of which I was one. “‘The lawyers had gobbled all the offi- «cee; the real estate men had gobbled all the land; and the money lenders had gathered up all the business chances, the mill sites and elevator plants. ““I wanted to buy a tarm. Thc real estato men wahted an outrageous price for any piece within ten miles of the sta: tion. 1 thought I could do better at auc- tion. So they fixed up an ‘auction’ for me. How the farma did go oft! What prices they did bring! I bought one—paid twice what it was worth—and afterwards found that I was the only bona fide pur- chaser. That's what they call ‘al balting’ out there. ‘I mortgaged my farm to erect a house and to secure farming machines—15 per cent interest, and under such iron clad conditions that a man is bound to lose if ho has a mishap, Well, I'vo had sever: The first winter my stock froze to death; the eottlers moved away; coal was $16 a ton, with no'wood in sight; but my crops had been good and prices were fair, so 1 stald. *‘The next my crops got frostbitten; I got the rhuematism, and the sharks came down on me for failing to pay promptly, and cleaned me out. Last spring T took to teaming and have earned enough to take me to a more hospitable place.” Tho old farmer's experience is a type of thousands. The region is unfit for small farming. The long winters eat up the profits of the short summer. Large farms may flourish where men and ani- mals may be imported and taken away after the summer's work ls over. The railroads, which promised so much, have performed Jittls, The elevator system has been such as to take away profits from farmers; fruits can not be grown; fuel must always be high, and as a con- sequence the northwest must always be settled. These diawbacks are wha: “busted the bcom” inaugurated by the North Paclfic railway. I had a little newspaper experience not far from St. Paul whicn is a fair sam- ple of what the whole northwest country affords. I visited a friend, who was loca- ted at a little interior lake, where he was engazed in butter making. He was near enough to the city of St. Paul to be reached by a short railway trip.

There was no transition from the two existences upon the stage and plains; but the young wife bravely endured privations A hardships of every kind with her husband. She made numberless journeys across the plains, and under the tuition of lodian Bill became an expert horsewoman, She carried a rifle and in its use she soon attained an unusual proficlency. Nights she spent upon the prairie in a tent pro- vided for her, carried upon a pack mule, Strangely eaough she liked the novel life. Intatuated with her husband, who cabin he haua bullded for her.

She says, however, that the stage has lost all faecinations for her, and is becoming dis- tasteful. When the news of Indian Bill's death was published, the mere fact of his actress-wife was mentloned, but this is the first appearance of the story; a strange one, indeed, rcading more like the pages of a novel than an eipsode of real life. e —— Andrew hnson Bec Drunk Cleaveland Leader. Perhaps the most disgraceful scene in our history as a republic waa the day of Lincoln's _ second inauguration, when Andrew Johnson, the vice president- elect, wade a maudlin, drunken epeech before the leading men of thls country end the representatives of nearly every foreign nation of prominence. An old senator told mo to-night how this came to be. Said he: ‘‘Andrew Johnson was accustomed to drinking, but he seldom took more than he could conveniently and sonsibly carry. While governor of Tennesseo he used to keep a bottle of whiskey in a covered washstand in his office, and I bave taken several drinks with him there. He would ralse the cover, take a drink and offer one to me. Still this was a common custom in the south, and Johnson was not looked upon a8 a drinking man in Tennessee. I do not think he often took more than enough for himselt at Washington. As to his drunkenness at his inauguration to which Sumner so sarcastically alluded on the senate floor, John W. Forney told me how it occurred. Forney was clerk of the senate at that time. ~He said that Jeohnson had been drinking the night before the inauguration with a lot of frlends at the Metropolitan hotel, and as is usual in such cases he arose the next morning with a bad tarte In his mouth and no appetlte. The result was that he started up the capitol without breakfast, and when he got there he was very weak and he looked wan and haggard. He came into the senate and asked Mr. Forney if he could not get him & drink of whisky. Forney replied yes, and went and brought in a bottle of old Kentucky bourbon. ~ Johnson took this and poured a goblet half full, while Forney’s eyes grew large in surprise as he gulped 1t down. This alone would have been enough to have made an or- dinary man drunk, but it was not enough for Vice-President Johnson. He filled the glass half full again and threw it in How upon his empty stomach, He then walked off across the room, and he only staggered a little as he took his place beside President Lincoln in front of the assemblage of cablnet secretaries, forelgn ministers, and others. When it came time to take his oath and the book was handed him to kies, he waved it aside with his hand and bogan to make a speech., \What he sald was never reported in the papers, but it must have been very funny, He took each of the secrotarles to task and gave them instructions, He addressed the foreign ministers, and though Forney tried to pull him down by kolding his coat-tails behind, he would not stop, but went on, President Lincoln was, as were all the Amerlcans presant, grieved by the occurrence, and Abe Lincoln siid: *I hope this will prove a leszon to Andy. —— Pretty Finger-Nails, Trim them; polish them; scrape them; and fix them all you please; yet they never will be really beautiful unless the circnlation of the blood is healthy, and the blood itself in perfect order.
