A TEMPORARY mission was founded at Sault Ste. Marie in 1641, by the Jesuit fathers Joques and Raymbault, for the sal- vation of the Chippewas. In 1668 Father Marquette renewed the mission, and three years afterward he founded St. Ignace for the Hurons, on the northern shore of the Straits of Mackinaw. Within a few years this became a French military post. Less enduring fortresses were established by La Salle at St. Joseph, and by Du Latte at the outlet of Lake Huron. Marquette, together with Joliet, was a discoverer of the Mississippi River. After several years' devoted service among the barbarians in the vicinity of Chi- cago, he was returning to the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, but died during the journey and was buried by his companions. Soon after the conquest of Canada (1760-61) the great chief Pontiac raised the western country against the British garrisons occupying Detroit and Michilimackinac, and a conspiracy was planned to massacre them. But a friendly Indian warned the commanding officer, and the danger was averted. After the gates were shut upon him and his followers, Pontiac began a siege of the fort that lasted for more than a year. After Commodore Perry captured the British fleet on Lake Erie, in 1813, he took on his ships General Harrison's army of the West, which re-captured Detroit and broke the hostile power at the battle of the Thames. When the first steamboats reached Detroit and Mackinaw, in 1818-19, the amazed Indians were made to believe that they were drawn by teams of trained sturgeons. ILLUSTRATIONS.

TH HE aborigines of Georgia were the Cherokees, and the various tribes of the Moscogee, or Creek confederation. In the year 1540 De Sota and his 600 Spaniards marched from the Ocklokonee to the Ocmulgee, and to Silver Bluff, where they abode several days. Everywhere they sought gold, and twenty years later Tristan de Luna and 300 Spanish soldiers marched from Pensacola to Cherokee, Georgia, and opened mines which were worked for over a century. The foundation of Georgia is due to the benevolence of General James Edward Oglethorpe, a veteran of Prince Eugene of Savoy's staff, and afterwards a member of Parliament, who established here a place where insolvents (prisoners for debt) and other unfort- unates might begin the world anew, and where religious freedom should be accorded (except to Catholics). Parliamentary grants of £180,000 were made to further these objects, and General Ogle- thorpe sailed from England and reached Savannah February ist, 1733, with 116 emigrants in his company. When the war broke out between England and Spain in 1739, General Oglethorpe led 1,000 troops against St. Augustine, and was beaten off. In 1742 Don Manuel de Monteano attacked Fred- erica and was defeated by General Oglethorpe and the Georgians with heavy loss. The prohibition of slavery took place in 1750. The chief events of the Secession War on the Georgia coast were the occupation of Big Tybee Island by Dupont's Federal fleet and the surrender of Fort Pulaski after a tremendous bombardment from General Gilmore's batteries on Tybee Island, which leveled much of its walls.

The larger development of her coal and iron prosperity and wealth, building many important railways and mines, now just beginning, bids fair to be of vast value and signifi- cance. Of late years there has been a series of bloody vendettas between families of the mountaineers of Pike, Rowan and other counties, and detachments of militia have been sent up there from time to time to restore transient order.

IN 1606 a company of merchants, called the "London Company," sent from England three small ships and 105 colonists who ar- rived in Virginia in April, 1607. They sailed up and down a river, which they named the James River, and selected a place to live upon which they called Jamestown. Captain John Smith was the leading man in the new settlement. and came at length to be is left of this settlement. It was the first English settlement on the it did not and the ruined church is all that Continent. The Virginia Company of London, which held the government of the colony in November, 1618, granted to Virginia a "Great Charter," under which the people of the colony were allowed a voice in making their own laws. This was the beginning of free government in America. The government of the United States, by President and House of Representatives, shows that the ideas put into the "Great Charter" have left their mark on the Constitution of our country. The advance of the French military post along the Alleghanies led to war in 1754, and George Washington led the Virginia troops in an attempt to recover the colony's outposts on the upper Ohio. tion of Independence was proposed by one of her deputies.

HE best informed students of the subject believe that the Norse- men landed in Rhode Island, and that the mysterious stone tower at Newport was built by the Norwegian colonists. It was there when the English settlers came, and the Indians had no knowledge of its origin. Roger Williams was the founder of Rhode Island. He emi- grated to Salem in 1631, an suffered banishment thrice for "his new and dangerous opinions against the authority of magistrates." The island of Aquidneck was settled by exiles from Massachusetts, at Portsmouth, in 1638, Newport in 1639, and in 1642 Samuel Gor- ton went into the wilderness and founded Shawomet (Warwick). The colonists sent Roger Williams as an ambassador to England, where he partly supported himself by reading to John Milton, and finally secured a wise colonial charter from the Earl of War- wick. When the American Revolution broke out, Rhode Island took up arms with patriotic enthusiasm, and this little commonwealth had at one time more than 3,000 disciplined troops in the Continental line. Rhode Island finds its main feature in Narragansett Bay, a beau- tiful and navigable arm of the sea, thirty miles long, and branch- ing into ten harbors, along which, with its bold bluffs and head- lands, islands, coves and beaches, there are many famous summer resorts.

The State suffered greatly during the war of 1812, when Admiral Cockburn sailed up and down Chesapeake Bay with a powerful British fleet and plundered and burnt many towns. The first tele- graph was erected from Baltimore to Washington, D. C., in 1844. Although a slave State, Maryland refused to join the other Seceding States in 1861. Secessionists, however, made a bold but unsuccess- ful attack on the Sixth Massachusetts Infantry, while marching through Baltimore, on the way to the rescue of the National Capital.

INDIANA'S first European visitor was La Salle, who in 1669-70 coasted along the Ohio River and opened a trade with the natives. Afterwards he crossed the portage (near South Bend) from the St. Joseph's to the Kankakee. Post Ouiatenon, founded near the site of Lafayette in 1720, was the first military establish- ment here, followed seven years later by the Post de Ouibache, which Lieut. de Vincennes established on the site of the present Vincennes. For two-thirds of a century the French made one of their favorite routes from Lake Erie to the Mississippi River across Indiana, ascending the Maumee River, with a long portage near Lafayette, and then descending the Wabash and Ohio. Louis XV.'s decree established slavery in the Mississippi and Ohio valleys, but the American ordinance, of 1787, set the North- western Territory apart for freedom. A strong party in Southern Indiana favored the perpetuation of slavery there, and kept it in actual operation until after the year 1840. In 1811 the eloquence of Tecumseh aroused the Shawnees to hostility against the American Government. General Harrison advanced against them and he was attacked in camp by the Indians before sunrise, but finally repulsed the enemy and inflicted heavy losses upon them, burning their towns and laying waste the country. During the war of 1812 Indiana suffered severely, and Fort Wayne and other strongholds were assaulted or besieged by the enemy. ILLUSTRATIONS.

When the Revolution broke out, Jonathan Trumbull, a warm patriot and level-headed man was governor; and his advice was so valued by General Washington, who often suggested consulting. with "Brother Jonathan," that this familiar nickname came to be the representative of American manhood and ultimately of the nation itself. In the second war with Great Britain, Connecticut suffered greatly along its coast. New London was blockaded in 1813 until the close of the war; and Stonington, a little east of New London, became the scene of stirring events. Into the War of Secession, Connecticut sent more than 55,000 volunteers out of 80,000 voters, and the Soldiers' Memorial Arch at Hartford commemorates those that were lost. ILLUSTRATIONS.

Over sixty years later the ex- ploring party of Lewis and Clark traversed Montana, ascending the Missouri, examining the Great Falls, and then crossing the Lolo Pass into Idaho. The Missouri Fur Company was founded in 1808, and the Rocky Mountain Fur Company in 1822 (which in 1834 united with the American Fur Company) and traded throughout this region. The gold discoveries of 1861 drew to the Territory thousands of adventurers from all parts of the Union. The Indian wars in Montana were fiercely fought, and large national forces, led by the best officers of the army, have faced a powerful and wily foe. The most direful tragedy occurred on the Rosebud River, in June, 1876, when General Custer advanced against the great Sioux village. Taking five troops of cavalry to attack on one side, he sent seven under Reno and Benton to charge up the valley. The latter force was repelled and besieged on the bluffs, and Custer's detachment was annihilated to the last man. A national cemetery now occupies a part of the battle ground. ILLUSTRATIONS.

HE first white men to explore the coast of Oregon were the Spaniards, Ferrello, in 1543, and Aguilla in 1603. Captain Cook made discoveries here in 1778, and Vancouver in 1792. The Hudson Bay Company moved into Oregon with its trading-posts, and filled the country with adventurous fur-traders. In 1789 Spain erected forts on the coast and seized British trading vessels as trespassers, but in the following year she was forced to concede that English traders and settlers should have equal rights with the Spaniards in the northwestern country. The American claim to possession of Oregon is from the discovery of the Columbia River in 1792 by Capt. Robert Gray, in the Boston ship Columbia, and its exploration from its source to the sea by Lewis and Clark in 1805, and on the original settlement of Astoria in 1811. To these are added the Spanish title which passed to the United States by the treaty of 1819. Emigrants from the States had reached Oregon in 1841-42, and were followed in 1843 by a caravan of 200 wagons and 875 people from Missouri. The Hudson Bay Company's Canadian trappers and their Indian wives and half-breed children formed a large element, and it was not until 1860 that they abandoned Fort Van Vancouver on the Columbia River. The overland immigration poured thousands of Americans into Oregon, but many of them were drawn away by the California gold discoveries. ILLUSTRATIONS.

AL LL over Wisconsin are the curious earthworks which are ascribed to the mound-builders. In 1634 Frontenac sent Jean Tricolet, a coureur du bois, to make treaties with the northwestern tribes, and to induce them to trade with the French of Lower Canada. In 1658-9 Radisson and Groseilliers, two French fur-traders, descended the Wisconsin River and saw the Mississippi. In 1661 they built a stockade near where Ashland now stands. In 1665 Father Allouez established a mission at La Pointe. The Jesuit mission of St. Francis Xavier arose at Depere two years later. Joliet and Mar- quette passed through Wisconsin in 1673 on their way to explore the Upper Mississippi. In 1679, among the Islands of Green Bay, La Salle's vessel was lost in a storm. The following years Du Luth and Father Hennepin voyaged throughout the State. In 1692 Le Sueur built a stockade at La Pointe. The country was for a century and a half the happy hunting ground for the easy-going French-licensed traders and coureurs du bois as well-and in the French and Indian war was a favorite recruiting field for those disciplined bands of redskins who periodically broke forth upon the borders. It was Langlade, a Wisconsin leader of these savage allies, who caught Braddock in his slaughter-pen. The Black- Hawk War (1832) was an important factor in the opening of the region to public view. The Menomonee Indians, part Catholic and part Pagan, occupy a section of the great northern pine-forests and are an honest and peaceful people. ILLUSTRATIONS.

It was named after Lord De La Warr, the first governor of Virginia, one of whose navigators, Captain Argall, named Delaware Bay in honor of his chief, and the title was gradually transferred to the peninsula. Hendrik Hudson discovered Delaware Bay in 1609, a year before Captain Argall sailed up the lonely expanse. The first white settlers were De Vries and thirty-two Hollanders, who founded a colony near the site of Lewes in 1631. These pioneers were all massacred by the Indians. In 1638 Peter Minuit was sent out by Queen Christina to found here "a country in which every man should be free to worship God as he chose." to worship God as he chose." He built Fort Christina on the Finns. In 1651 Governor Stuyvesant came around from New site of Wilmington, and garrisoned it with sturdy Swedes and Amsterdam and erected Fort Casimir, on the site of New Castle, free to hold these Baltic men in check, but on Trinity Sunday of 1654 they swarmed into the new fortress and raised over it the banner of Sweden.

WEST VIRGINIA did not become a State until 1863, when it separated from Virginia on account of its Union sentiments. George Washington was one of the first land-owners, who, when a surveyor in 1750, entered and patented for himself 32,000 acres in the Ohio and Kanawha valleys. The Ohio Land Company, composed of Thomas Lee, Augustine and Lawrence Washington, and others, were probably the first to develop this State, and in 1750 they employed Christopher Gist to cross the Blue Ridge and spy out the country. Orders came from England to expel the French posts by force of arms, if necessary, and George Washington (then 22 years old and a major in the Virginia militia) was chosen to take a remon- strance to M. de St. Pierre, the French commander on the upper waters of the Alleghany and Lake Erie. This led to the French and Indian war and Braddock's defeat, which, however, was out of the State. In October, 1859, John Brown and a force of twenty-two abolitionists captured Harper's Ferry, intending to raise the slaves into revolt against the slaveholders. But the negroes failed to rise, and Brown was beleaguered in the engine-house by troops under Colonel Robt. E. Lee. Ten were killed; seven, including Brown, were hanged for treason, and five escaped northward. During the Secession War the State was the scene of many fierce forays on both sides, and many a desperate fight was waged among its mountain passes. Since the close of the Civil War it has voted itself to building railroads and developing vast natural resources in lumber and minerals. ILLUSTRATIONS.

TH HE first European to look upon the low sandy shores of New Jersey was Hendrik Hudson, whose little ship "Half-Moon cast anchor inside of Sandy Hook in 1609. By virtue of his dis- coveries the people of the Netherlands laid claim to New York and New Jersey. Colonies were sent from Holland, and within a decade settlements arose in the vicinity of Jersey City (then called Bergen), the trading-post being the site of New York. Colonies from Sweden also settled in West Jersey and occupied territory claimed by the Dutch. This led to disputes until Governor Stuy- vesant secured the submission of the Swedes in 1655. In 1664, King Charles II. granted to the Duke of York a great tract of land, from Cape May to Nantucket, the Duke in turn granting New Jersey to Lord john Berkeley and Sir George Carteret, giving them the abso- lute estate and title to the land, and also the power to rule and make laws. Philip Carteret was the first governor. The first settlers at Newark were Connecticut Puritans. Some of the important battles of the Revolution were fought in this State. Frederick the Great pro- nounced Washington's Trenton-Princeton campaign "the most brilliant in the annals of military achievements. The canton- ments of the army in the winter of 1779-80 were at Morristown, and the house then occupied by General Washington and his wife is now sacredly preserved as public property.

MINNESOTA. aborigines of Minnesota were the Chippewas, occupying more than half the State in its forest and lake region, and the Dakotas (latterly called Sioux) roaming over the open prairies. The first white visitors who came to this region were French fur- traders, who came hither as early as 1659. They were followed by missionary priests. In 1680 Father Hennepin and two French traders ascended the Mississippi to St. Anthony's Falls. In 1688 Perrot founded on Lake Pepin the first French establishment in Minnesota. After France surrendered its vast American empire to Great Britain, an adventurous Connecticut man, Jonathan Carver, ascended the Mississippi to the falls (in 1776) and sojourned among the Dakotas on the Minnesota River. The first United States officer to visit Minnesota was Lieut. Zebulon M. Pike, who came hither in 1805 to expel the lingering British traders. The country remained in the hands of the fur-traders and the Indians until 1820, when Colone: Leavenworth built Fort Snelling and Gov. Lewis Cass and Henry R. Schoolcraft explored the valley. Three years later the first steamboat ascended the Mississippi into Minnesota, and Major Long's detachment explored the Minnesota valley to Big Stone Lake. In 1832 the Rev Wm. T Boutwell opened a mission among the Chippewas. In 1836-37 the region of St. Paul received its first settlers, a group of Swiss. colonists. In those days there were myriads of buffalo in Minnesota.

Smith, followed the Humboldt River from its source to its fall into the Great Basin, thence across the sage-brush plains they journeyed, then climbed the mighty Sierras. until there was set before them the broad valleys of California. Ogden visited Humboldt in 1831; Bonneville and Kit Carson in 1833, and in 1834 Captain Bartleson led the first company across the Great Basin. In 1843-45 the camp-fires of Fremont darted rays of light along the track of the pioneers of 1825. Prior to the discovery of silver, there was little or no inducement for settlement within the State of Nevada, and although the overland army of gold-seekers made an almost continuous line across the continent, the first mail line be- tween Sacramento and Salt Lake City was not established until 1851. Rich deposits of sulphate of silver were discovered in the year 1858, and in the following year the rush to the Washoe mines was fairly commenced. In the year 1861 quartz-mills were erected and machinery transported across the mountains. The white metal soon began to be circulated in vast and increasing fullness into the channels of the world's commerce, and likewise in sustain- ing the credit of the nation while in great peril. Nevada has lost a large share of her population in recent years, and at present the main hope seems to be in the remonetization of silver, or else in the development of an extensive system of irrigation.

In early days the diversity finally resulted in the formation of two new States. Wheat-raising is the chief industry of North Dakota, and several of the "Bonanza" farms of the Red River valley are from 5,000 to 15,000 acres in extent. The famous Dalrymple farm covers 75,000 acres. The active immigration induced by the Canadian Pacific Railway into Manitoba in 1883-84 resulted fortunately for the two neighboring American States. The immigrants found the cost of living very high, and thousands of them drifted southward across the border, where more favorable conditions prevailed, and they soon became permanent citizens of the United States.

ABOUT 3.000 Indians lived in South Carolina when the first set- tlers arrived. The first European adventurers who reached the South Carolina shore were a group of Spanish slave-hunters, who (in 1520) landed on St. Helena and claimed the country for Spain. In 1562 Ribault's vessels arrived on the coast bearing a gallant band of Huguenots. On the site of Beaufort they built the defenses of Charles Fort. King Charles II. granted Carolina to the lords- proprietors in 1663, and seven years later their little fleet reached Beaufort. Finding this site perilously near the truculent Spaniards of Florida, the colonists moved to the Ashley River and founded Charleston. The little colony had to fight the Indians on one side, and on the other the Spaniards from Florida, whose galleys plundered the Sea Islands and destroyed Port Royal. For some years the Carolinas were governed under John Locke's fantastical Fundamental Constitutions. The formal division of Carolina into North and South occurred in 1729. The immigrants of the next few_decades included Dutch, Swiss, Scotch, German, Welsh, Irish, French, hundreds of Pennsylvanians and Virginians seeking safety after Braddock's defeat, and also many_cargoes of African slaves which were brought into Charleston. The Revolu- tion became a bitter civil war in South Carolina, but Marion and Sumter kept up an unceasing warfare against the king's forces. As soon as Lincoln was elected President, South Carolina called a convention, which (Dec. 20th, 1860) declared that the Union be- tween her and the other States was dissolved. ILLUSTRATIONS.

Coffee should not be ground until the coffee-pot is ready to receive it. Cof- fee will lose more of its strength and aroma in one hour after being ground than in six months before being ground. So long as Ariosa remains in the whole berry, our glazing, composed of choice eggs and pure confectioners' A sugar, closes the pores of the coffee, and there- by all the original strength and aroma are retained. Ariosa Coffee has, during 25 years, set the standard for all other roasted coffees. So true is this, that other manufacturers in recommending their goods, have known no higher praise than to say: "It's just as good as Ar- buckles'." ARBUCKLE BROS., NEW YORK CITY. VERMONT. THE first European to see Vermont was Champlain, who in 1609 came south from Canada with a war-party of Hurons on a foray against the Iroquois. The first colony established by the French at Fort St. Anne, in 1665, was opposed by an outpost at Chimney Point, built by the Dutch from Albany. After the con- quest of Canada in 1760, the French settlements along Lake Cham- plain disappeared. After the district suffered separation from Massachusetts, it was claimed by both New Hampshire and New York. A tide of colonists poured in with titles issued by New York, endeavoring to oust the New Hampshire grantees. The latter, under the direction of Ethan Allen and Seth Warner, formed themselves into the "Green Mountain Boys," and fought the in- truders stubbornly for many years. In 1775 Ethan Allen and eighty-three Green Mountain boys surprised the British garri- son at Fort Ticonderoga, and compelled its surrender. General Stark and 1,600 militia vanquished the British army near Bennington. A magnificent monument now marks the spot. In the war of 1812 Burlington was fortified and garrisoned, and i 2,500 Vermont volunteers joined in the fight against Sir George Prevost at Plattsburgh. The drain of furnishing inhabitants to the West has kept Vermont nearly stationary in population. In 1889 the State Commission found over 200,000 acres of abandoned fields growing up into woodland. Many French-Canadians have moved into the northern counties and factory towns. In 1777 ILLUSTRATIONS.
