Comment.The week at Minnetonka has been
fraught with much pleasure. Followinghard upon the excitement of the celebra-tion of the Fourth, which, by the way, wascelebrated on Monday with an elaboratedisplay of fireworks and firewater, came aday of intense calm, which spread evenunto the waters. On Wednesday eveningthe opening ball at the St. Louis was given,which was largely attended from the TwinCities and the lake hotels and cottages. Itwas a grand success, the weather god onthis particular occasion being especiallybenignant. At the Lafayette the Colum-bus, 0., Board ofTrade excursion, with itsmillionaires and pretty ladies, arrived onFriday and is now "doing the dolce farniente act. Saturday evening saw theusual hops at the hotels and the genial ra-
?reconleur is good? telling of fish-ing exploits on the piazzas of the differenthotels. Next week there will be a largenumber of excursions, the colored bandand the grocers, at Lake Park being themost important.

MyOwn Darling Mary: You're a nice cor-respondent, oi_t you? To wait until you

To think, after ball,and lawn tennis, Ishould como to grief;through ?bull. Not a papal propaganda,:but a horrid animal loose ina field. Do youwant to hear my latest? Well, the girls here'are so awfullybackward about bathing- andwhen you propose a place they roll up theireyes, giggleand say let us wait until dark.The idea! Itis veryseldom you hear ofbath-ingparties at the hotels, and then if you do,itis not co-natatorial willthat do? Imean,the sexes seldom meet in tho playful surf.
There is no surf here. Well, say gravel. Ihave been dyinglor a good swim, and notcareing to go alone, Iwent down to Wayzatta,whereIhave some friends. 1 had made atBedfern's such a pretty bathing dress thisspring, a perfect symphony iv white andblue. Will.Igot myself into my rigs, andJennie S. and Emma D., my two -friends,showed up in equally pretty garments. Wefound such a nice retreat, all secluded, withgreen pasture lauds sloping to our rearand a stretch of sandy beach inrunt and groves to our right and
li-it?a regular Diana's bower. We euteredthe water, aud Iastonished the girls by myexploits. We swam and rested on the sands,as the sky was blue overhead, and a peacefulbovine was ruminating in the extreme upperend of the pasture land. Idon't know whatinduced me, but just across the barbed-wirefence which separated us from the pasturewere some daisies. Ijust climbed over andcommenced to gather them. Suddenly Iheard the girls scream: "Ernyloh, look!that cowls coming after you!" Iheard asnort and saw tho bull standing down underlull sail, his tail standing out like an out-rigger of a eatboat, and when a bull assumesthis position one should "git." Well,Ididgit. and the way 1climbed over the fence wasa caution. 1 tried to climb over the barbedwire and lost my presence of mind, andfound Iwas trying to do the tight-ropoact, but it was a failure, as mysandals wouid slip off the wire.

Porcupine Hill,,July 9, 1886.Agon-ized Kepublic?Grandfather died to-day at12 o'clock Fahrenheit according to MarquisofQueensberry rules. His demise has longbeen expected by those who were best ac-quainted withhis private business affairs,and when this noon he turned his face tothe wall and boycotted the atmosphere byrefusing to breathe, nobody was surprised.Grandfather had played the comedy of lifewithgreat success for ninety-eight consecu-tive years, and he went down to death withhis head covered withglory and alarge baldspot. It was a severe struggle betweengrandfather and Father Time. A sort ofGrseco-Koman wrestling match, in whichgrandfather had managed to keep ontop bya judicious application of half Nelsons andbody locks until his opponent at last caughthim when he wasn't looking and floppedhim over; grandfather bridged but the hair-soring in his backbone was out of fix.Time crowded the old man down tillhisshoulders touched the grave. The ghostwalked. There's always something aboutan aged aud tottering grandsire that fills hisnearest relatives withawe and admiration.This fact is never more apparent than whenthe grandsire is worth about a million dol-lars. The amount of awe and admirationand soft talk that a million dollars willwork up in a family is simply astounding.Our grandfather died poor, and he didn'tweigh over ninety-eight pounds, bat he felthis oats up to the last minute. He an-nounced in a low tone of voice just priorto boarding the train for eternity, that hetook withhimnothing but a clear conscienceand a spotless character, but ho was abloated bondholder compared with somepeople he knew who had gone over on anearlier train.
GRANDFATHER "WAS A PRACIIEK.Hisname was Thomas and Iwas named
after him, not thatthere was anythingparticularly strik-ing about the name,but more especiallybecause he happen-ed to be born be-foreIwas. He wasone of those pre-historic relics ofthe ministry witha heart the size ofa Hubbard squash,and a conscienceas tender as thesigh of an angel.He was born inOld England,brought across theocean and trans-planted on the soilof Connecticut,lons' before he hadlearned tochew to-bacco or play pro-gressive euchre.From a round-faced, stout-limbed
boy he grew into long, slim manhood,reach-ingup toward heaven to a height of six feetand four inches. At the age of 21 a hack-ing cough broke out on him, and his pa-rents at once discovered splendid materialin him for a preacher and indue season hewas launched into the ministry, ac-companied by a high collar, a suitof black broadcloth, a pair of calf bootsand a faculty for putting large congrega-tions to sleep. He received a call to tillthe pulpit of the Patchaug church for twocords of hard wood, three donation partiesand $?>0 a year. Ho preached a year forthis consideration, when the church, recog-nizing his extraordinary ability, raised hissalary a cord of wood and one party. Heworked on the farm six days in the weekfor his board and clothes, and used to writehis sermons nights, after he had milked thecows. By selling the wood and squashesand collecting the ?30 at the end of theyear, he managed to preach pretty gooddoctrine and save money. He finally gotmarried and hired a farm. Grandmotherdeveloped quite a taste for

The deacon was one of these earn-est, impetuous prayer makers who neverknew when to break away and that nighthe was evidently anxious to heat his ownrecord for he knelt down aud prayedfor fifteen minutes and showedno signs that he was gettiuggroggy. Grandfather listened patientlyduring all this while, and finally he beganto nod and at last his chin fell upon hisbreast aud he slept. On went the deaconwith his prayer and on slept mygrandfather.Atlast raising his voice to a high pitch thedeacon cried, "Thou shalt not muzzle theoxWhen he treadeth out the corn." Thewords broke into my grandfather's dreamand he said in a clear voice, "Muzzle him,waal, Ishould say not. Ef enny ox treadson my corns I'llpound ins rump with ermilkin' stool." This somewhat disturbedthe equilibrium of the prayer meeting andthe deacon brought his appeal to a close,but
GRANDFATHER SLEPT ON
and it took four healthy members of theWomen's Sewing circle to wake him up.This little break nearly cost him his job,but they finallykept him with the under-standing that he needn't expect but onedonation party a year. Grandfather keptright on preaching in that place until a cir-cumstance over which he had no controlcompelled him to tender his resignationwhich was promptly accepted. By thistime he had arrived at that point where hehad twopair of trousers. A heavy pair forwinter and lighter ones for summer. Whenthe winter mouths opened and he put onhis heavy trousers, he always hung his light-weights on a nail in the attic, where mothswould not corrupt nor thieves break in andpurloin. One Sunday morning iv the springof which 1 write, he told grandmotherthat itwas pretty warm aud he thoughthe would preach in his summertrowsers that day. Grandmother said itwould be a good idea and grandfather putthem on and went to his pulpit. Itwas abeautiful day, and the littlechurch was fullof country who had come miles todrink in the words of wisdom ythat had ahabit of dropping fiom grandfather's lips.Inthe great, tall pulpit that looked almost
like some image for heathen worship, he satcalmly, witha solemn face and prayerfulmien.
The congregation had sung "Nearer MyGod to Thee," and grandfather stood up, andfolding his hands and closing his eyes, helaunched out into a sea of prayer. Everyhead was bowed in reverence to the godlyman, who spoke with a fervor that voicedthe sentiments of a trusting heart. Sud-denly itwas noticed that there was a strangetremor inhis voice, and those who were ledto peep through their fingers atthe preacher observed that his lipstwitched nervously, his fingers workedspasmodically and a frown wrinkled hisbrow. His speech became more brokenand his body swayed from side to side.His hands unclasped aud clutched theedges of the desk. In this manner heprayed on for fiveminutes, suddenly a yellrang through the church that brought ev-erybody to their feet only to see grand-father

When he took off grandfather'ssummer trowsers he discovered a littledrab wasp nest, and the bulge of thebreeches was fullof lively wasps that hadbuilt their winter home there while thetrowsers hung on the nail in the attic.They had made their presence knownto grandfather while he was praying, andhe had done his best to conceal his emotionfrom the congregation, but was at lastobliged to give expression to his pent-upfeelings. Deacon Caulkius tried toexplain the situation to the peoplebut they wouldn't believe it,and insisted that they wouldn't listen tothe preaching of a mau who was possessedwith the devil, as he undoubtedly was, sograndfather was obliged to quit preachingand turu his undivided attention to farm-ing, and this he did with profitable success,raising large crops of corn and severalchildren, Grandfather willbe buried uextMonday in the little private graveyard atthe base of Porcupine hill, where grand-mother has slept for the past ten years. Ina quiet little nook beneath the friendlyshadows of a stalwart oak he willbe laidby grandmother's side, away from theworld and its harrowing cares, where theangels may come and commune with theirspirits; where the stars light up the high-ways, and heaven and nature is buried inpeaceful and dreamless slumber.

:?Boston Transcript-
fair fame of the board of education, andhere, after my kindly work, B. F. Nelsonmounted my attenuated form and demandeda retraction or blood. This was positiveingratitude. 1 had not said a word aboutMr. Nelson, personally, and did not knowhe needed a personal defense, but if hodoes, some one else must make it. Evenmy loyalty toMinneapolis willcarry me nofurther. Iheard in the mouth of commonstreet rumor the most damaging reflectionon the integrity of certain members of theboard, and in my indignation Iasked theboard to rise in its corporate majesty andhurl the lie back in the teeth of the tra-ducer.
Butdid the board rise?Not a bit of it.Itshut itself up inits private office,drove
out the reporters and auditors and transactedits public business in the dark, as far as thepublic is concerned, Yet this is the boardIwas defending. All honor to A. T.Ankenny for the stand he made against thisstar chamber business. He only went intothe board this spring, has nothing to con-ceal and does not wish for concealment ofany kind. Do the other members? Messrs.Austin. Hale, Miller, Nelson and Oftedaivoted for the secret session and itis a fairquestion to ask them ifthere is anythingthey are ashamed of or wish to concealfrom the public. They are the servants,the public the master and the master hasthe right at all times to know what theservant is doing. Iwas surprised at Mr.Nelson's vote. He is a Democrat and iswidely known as au honest, honorablegentleman. What sympathy can he havewith this suspicious, dark-closet style oftransacting the public business?
The board buys a great deal of lumberfrom Mr. Nelsou.
Likewise considerable hardware fromMr.Miller.If other members had commodities for
sale, the board would probably buy fromthem also. And this is radically wrong.
There is a law, ifnot in the charter orthe statutes, at least an unwritten law,which prohibits any member ofsuch an or-ganization from being interested in an* ofits contracts. This law should be held asInviolable as the law of the Medes aud Per-sians. Itthe board buys stone from Mr.X,itenters into a contract with him to payso much money for certain stone, and ifheis a member of the board he is violating thelaw. Then suppose the board were debat-ing the question of building a new schooland itwas a question whether the buildingis really needed. Might not the fact that,if the school is built Mr. Xwould furnishthe stone influence him into believing theschool was necessary? This explains whythe school board should never buy materialfrom any of its members. Of course Mr.Nelson is too honorable to be so influencedand of course Mr.Nelson is too honorable tobe so influenced, but the principle should bemaintained.
But this board matter is rapidly becominga chestnut. The people won't rise in theirwrath and the board won't rise in itsmajesty aud willprobably go on doing justas it pleases, quoting the famous expletive:"The public be damned."Iwas struck by a remark made the other
day to the effect that very littleor compara-tively little of the great wealth piled up inMinneapolis was made in legitimate busi-ness, without speculation. It is certainlytrue. There are no merchant princes here,but the reason is that no merchant has beeninbusiness long enough to have amassed afortune at it. There are mercantile oppor-tunities now, which, when carried along,willyield fortunes, but itis quite safe tosay that not one of the colossal fortunes ofMinneapolis was made by strict and sole at-tention to any mercantile and professionalcalling. Speculation made the money.Fortunate deals in Minnesota lands andtimber aud inMinneapolis real estate wereat the bottom of all those heavy bank ac-counts. Those who steadily pursued a pro-fession may scarcely be called in comforta-ble circumstances.
Take a few examples.Judge William Lochren has followedthe
law forlong years and has reached the headofhis profession. His ability is generallyrecognized, and his success as a practi-tioner has been pronounced, yet he is aman of only moderate means. D. A. Se-combe is another prominent lawyer, with along, good practice, but ithas netted himonly a good living. Seagrave Smith is an-other one, and It.C. Benton, A.H. Young,and Col. Fred Hooker all go to bear thisout, and J. P. Boa, George C. Bipley audothers might be added. On the other handthose attorneys set down as wealthy, madegreat money through speculation. The lateW. W. McNair reared an immense for-tune on fortunate deals on pine lands andhis brother-in-law, Eugene M. Wilson, whowas associated with him, also reaped a richharvest, to which his lucrative practice isadding. Mart B. Koon invested his her-itage very advantageously, and made hisone talent yield five other talents, whilethat horny-handed son of the soil, J. B.Giltillan, speculated very profitably in Eastside dirt, using his practice as a sort of sidebet.
Perhaps the manufacturers are excep-tions, but some of even them owe theirwealth to furtunate speculation.
The Pillsbury's, while they ground for-tunes out of wheat, were equally fortunatein their land deals and have millions safelylaid away in the Gullrivercountry. DorilusMorrison made money out of everything,but as much out of land as he did out ofsawing lumber, grinding grain and buildingharvesters. O. A.Pray was rich outsideof his family and J. B. Bassett beyond hissaw and flour mills. Buteven in the casesof those who grew rich solely in manufac-tures they are the exceptions.
There was T. B. Walker, whoused to bea shoemaker and is now the leading mill-ionaire ofMinneapolis, if not of the state.Loren Fletcher and C. M. Lormg used torun a general store in the days ofMinneap-olis' infancy, but they speculated well.Buiithrough the long list of men of wealthand nine out of ten laid the foundations oftheir fortunes on land speculation. Theremark Iheard was undoubtedly true.
A writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer oncesaid: "Three years ago the chances formoney-making in legitimate business inMinneapolis were nogreater than inCincin-nati. He ended there and thenatural conclusion is that the situationwithinthree years has changed and thechances ate now better inMinneapolis thaninCincinnati. Certainly this is the opinionof the hundreds of investors who are con-stantly coming to and locating inMinneap-olis. Helot.
