The National Democrat occupies a field of itsown, and one that too long remained unfilled. It gives a complete record of politicalinformation, including the most important speeches that are delivered by democraticleaders in Congress and on the stump. It is rendering the party an important service,and should be read by all who wish to keep fully informed in regard to public affairsand who mean to defeat the wicked schemes of the republican leaders to secure permanentcontrol of the government in spite of the fact that they are and must remain, theminority party in this country.

Mr. Gilbert POWERS has returned from Pennsylvania where he has lived for the pasttwo years.

We see that the Star's correspondent from this place has it that some of the citizensof this place mix politics and religion; I wonder they didn't think of this beforewhen they were meddling with the parochial schools. They carry us back to the timeof Caesar, when the white race was yet barbarous. We were not aware that politicshad so degenerated in the short space of a quarter of a century, but politics areuncertain things. The one wonder is that they did not carry us back to the Mosaicperiod before the exodus, when the so-called children of God were in bondage, butperhaps it is yet in store for God's children(??) when the republicans will againbe in ascendancy. Then perhaps for another quarter of a century politics and religionwill become as strangers, and it will then be considered sacrilegious to unite thetwo.

Mr. Gilbert POWERS of Pennsylvania who was one of our promising young men of formertimes, was back for a few days during the fore part of the week.

The singing school conducted by Asa PATCH holds its sessions regularly again at theM. E. church.

Six of our largest pupils attending the village school drive home every evening withhorse and gig, distances varying from two to six miles.

Mr. WITT (unreadable words) at the station, recently returned from a business tripto Chicago where he disposed of a carload of clover seed. Owing to the many heavyfailures of recent dates, commission men are slow in investing. Red closer findsas yet no sale at profitable prices.

Mr. KAND, ticket agent at the station, has just returned from a trip to Superior.The attraction of the city with a future had such a charm for him that he announceshis property for sale here, and at once wishes to start for Superior as his futurehome. The real estate boom of Superior, which is only a monopoly movement so frequentlyoccurring in American cities, is only of short duration and may cause many an investorregret. Still there is no doubt that the cities situated on the Northern Lake willsooner or later rise to eminence owing to the resources of the surrounding countryand being in direct communication with the Pacific coast.

GRAFTON

Grafton, as seen from a bird's eye view, impresses one that if the once famous Gardenof Eden had not been previously located, this might have been the place, being sobeautifully located and as healthy a place as the state of Wisconsin has to show,malarial and epidemic diseases are virtually unknown. The inhabitants are quiet andlaw-abiding citizens, making it a desirable place to live in. Police, lawyers anddoctors are strangers to Grafton, being rarely necessary. What business there isseems to be on a sound financial basis. All it needs is men with capital and energyto make this one of the liveliest places on the lake shore. There is sufficient materialsuch as lime and sandstone, brick, clay, mineral springs, and water power, all ofwhich could be had at very reasonable terms to parties wishing to develop the same,the best railroad facilities to and from here, besides the Milwaukee river whichis navigable in summer for small boats, and in winter for ice boats. The place certainlyhas a bright future, and parties looking for a beautiful place to live in, or desirousof starting in a convenient place should first investigate those sites along theMilwaukee river, which could be had for a very reasonable compensation. - By an observationist
