A Warning to Caltadlan Settlers, The Governer of South Dakota accom- panied a deputation from that State which visited St. Paul last Wednesday, for the purpose of securing aid for the destitute farmers of the State. The deputation met the St Paul joint relief committee, and among its speakers was Judge Hoidridge of Miner county, who said : "Those who representedthere was abund- ance in bis section of the country were certainly egregiously mistaken. He bad lived in Miner county nine years and knew every man in it, and spoke with perfect knowledge of the situation. The county commissioners had devoted nearly all of their time gratuitously to this matter, Statistics showed that last year wheat raised in that county averaged only one busbel to the acre, corn one baahel, flee ono bushel. Thele web° practically no oats at all, and potatoes averaged only ten bushels. Grass, smhieh was depended on for fuel by many, was almost a total failure also. The people are poor. * * * It was owing to the condi. but -ions from the outside that the people lived through the winter, and in the teeth of all statements tothe 'oontreryhe declared that if it had not beenfor thegenerosity of the outside people and the railroads,and if they had an ordinary cold winter, hundreds would have perished by hunger and cold. Not one farmer out of ten hae coed, and. they duu't ktot7 where to get it." Dashwood.

In the evening they were serenaded by both the band and the charivari boys. The young couple will move to Michigan shortly, where Dir Heist has a farm. We wish them suecess. Since waiting the above we have learned with regret of the death of Mies Eliza Hoffman, which occurred on Tuesday evg. She had been ailing for some time past, but not seriously until the last few days. The family have the heartfelt sympathy of the community in their bereavement.

Three years two months and seven days elapsed from the time Stanley start- ed from Cairo to go to Emin'a aid until last week, when he again set foot on European soil. When he left England he said he hoped to be back within a year, which shows how badly human plans are apt tobe disarranged in Africa.
