CONCLUSION.
And here the writer must lay down the pen of the histo- rian. His task is done, and he closes it with satisfaction, and with pardonable pride in the goodly subject on which he has labored so long, with no other motive than to place on the en- during page of history, those facts concerning the early days of Saint Paul which might else be lost, if not recorded in time.
He has, in these imperfect and poorly written annals, traced the career of our city from the dimly remembered days of 1838. when a single bark-roofed hovel formed its only civilized land- mark, an unknown point in the wilderness surrounding it- through the perils of its infancy and pioneer days, its strug- gles to secure and retain the Capital, its period of wild infla- tion and speculation, its financial reverses and dark days, its later years of success and prosperity, fairly won by the enter- prise of its citizens-until we reach the Saint Paul of 1875- a prosperous, populous, opulent city, the capital of a great and flourishing State, the commercial emporium of the valley . of the Upper Mississippi.
The period mentioned is but a brief span, after all-about one average generation-but what great results those few years have seen accomplished. Let the mind take in our city now, with its 33,000 inhabitants, and taxable property of $27,000 .- 000-its long miles of splendid, smooth, well-paved avenues. lined with solid business blocks and public buildings, or pala- tial mansions, and underlaid with water and gas pipes, and a well-arranged system of sewerage-her levee, with the com- merce of the greatest river in the world, and its tributaries. connecting us with 35,000 miles of inland navigation-her eight railroads, with nearly a hundred trains arriving and de- parting daily. Her numerous manufactories. warehouses, elevators, &c., banking houses with millions of capital in the

CHAPTER XXXV.
A QUARTER CENTURY'S RETROSPECT.
THE UNPARALLELED GROWTH OF OUR CITY-A CENTURY'S WORK COMPRESSED IN 25 YEARS-THE SOCIAL CONDITION OF OUR CITY 25 YEARS AGO, CONTRASTED WITH NOW-MONEY VS. CULTURE AND SOCIAL REFINEMENT-OUR ÆSTHETI- CAL GROWTH-EDUCATION, LITERATURE, MUSIC AND ART.
[For this interesting chapter-a fitting close .to our civic history-the writer is in- debted to Col. EARLE S. GOODRICH. Indeed, this acknowledgment is scarcely neces- sary-his graceful and polished style would be recognized without it.]
T HE past quarter of a century stands by itself in the im- portance and variety of the results achieved in all departments of knowledge and enterprise. The happy mar- riage of the mechanic arts with science, has produced and per- fected a series of remarkable inventions, which, in ministering to the demands of commerce, manufactures, and the social needs and luxuries, have revolutionized trade, created new and expanded old industries, refined the conditions of labor, and by their influence upon habits of thought and methods of life, have affected the structure as well as changed the surface of society, and almost created a new race in a single generation. These transformations, clearly enough seen in old communi- ties, are most vividly revealed in the new and frontier sections. For whereas, in the older States, twenty-five years ago, there were in existence all known methods which produce wealth, and all the culture and ease which are the fruit of it, here, at the Northwest, civil society was just in process of organiza- tion, and all things were as wild and untamed as nature itself. There, in the older communities, nature was already subdued, and country as well as town showed the marks of refined liv- ing, so that the influence of the quarter century's progress is revealed more in the inner and higher life of the people than in physical manifestations ; while here, on the border, what- ever lies between the first turning of the sod and the last achievement of art, had to be wrought from crude nature, and

. by men gathered together by chance, and exhibiting not merely every grade of culture, but every phase of the lack of it. Here, then, has been furnished the most tangible and striking revelation of the wonderful progress which has marked the third quarter of the present century.
In selecting out of this frontier region a point to serve as an example of the remarkable development of the last twenty-five years, and which shall cover not merely increase of business and access of population, but growth in those mental, moral, and æsthetic directions which make up culture, and are the flowering of a high civilization, we can, without being invidi- ous, choose our own city of Saint Paul. The history, which closed with the last chapter, certainly presents a record in which our citizens may take a justifiable pride. It shows the work of a century compressed into a quarter of the time. The simple record of the organization of our religious societies, embracing almost every sect ; of the beginning and spread of our educational system ; of societies devoted to art and science, as well as to charity and reform ; of our public libraries ; and of scores of other beneficent organizations, having for their object the improvement of our people in intelligence. and worth ; this simple record reveals more forcibly our progress in culture than any mere generalizing can show ; for all these things not only sustain culture, but grow out of it, and are the best and highest indications of its quality and strength.
The social condition twenty-five years ago and now, pre- sents as strong a contrast as anything shown in our history. A small population, joining together to form a community, but mingling only in business intercourse ; divided into cliques which represented every nationality ; this made up an un- promising composition to mould into shapely and attractive social form. Yet, the very heterogeneousness of the character of our early settlers, through the wearing but smoothing effect of years of friction, and under gradually improving conditions. has developed a society more cosmopolitan, and with greater variety and breadth of culture, than can be found in many cities of quadruple our age and population. Freedom from insularity marks our habits and manners as it does our posi- tion ; the representatives of many lands have contributed their
and of the County of Ramsey, Minnesota. 457
graces and refinements ; until, if we were to calculate our age. by the ordinary growth of social tone and breeding, we might without vanity count by decades instead of years.
This change in the social condition is due greatly to the difference, then and now, in the prime objects of life and effort. The accumulation of wealth is everywhere and at all times the moving spring of energy, not always for the gratifi- cation of a sordid desire for gain, but for the comfort which it brings, and the good which may be done with it. With our first settlers, making money seemed the sole aim and end of living. And while that passion continued the dominant one, the possession of money was the touchstone of influence ; the man who gained the most of it was the man most regarded- with little reference, during the earlier years, to the means by which it was obtained, or to the mental or moral qualities of its possessor. Under the impulse of this spirit there could, of course, be little society worth its name, for the general ten- dency was toward narrowness, selfishness and vulgarity. It must be understood, however, that these sweeping remarks apply to society in the mass, and are held to be true of it only in that sense. For no one, whose residence dates back to our earliest days, can fail to recall many homes, in Saint Paul and vicinity, which were the seats of an elegant hospitality, and from which proceeded the most elevating influences. These cannot be remembered with more gratitude than is their due ; they were the leaven that leavened the whole lump ; and the air of graceful refinement that pervaded them, remains with us as the purest and best of the social atmosphere of to- day. We are still sordid enough, without doubt, but our growth has been in the right direction, and we can now see more in life than the gathering of a fortune. There is to-day more pride in the possession of a good name than in great riches ; and there exists a healthily growing respect for social position and family repute, which are the fruits of good conduct and virtuous living. These things as tangibly mark right devel- opment as do the substitution of the opera and drama for the Indian dance and pow-wow, the popular lecture-room for the public gambling-hall, and the music of MOZART, BEETHOVEN and WAGNER for the grotesque mouthings of negro minstrelsy.

The History of the City of Saint Paul.
In public architecture, the progress is seen at a glance, by comparing the Mission of Saint Paul, (of which an engraving is given in this history,) with Saint Mary's, the First Baptist church, or the German Catholic cathedral ; while scattered over the city are hundreds of elegant residences, which show that in domestic architecture, no stereotype forms have been used, but that expression has been given to cultivated individ- tial tastes, in which lies the peculiar charm and beauty of any structure named, and used as, a home. Many of these are beauty spots upon the face of the city, reflecting a refining influence upon all who see them, and holding within their walls, in pictures and libraries, such treasures of art and knowledge as prove that all is not done for outward show, but that very much is the legitimate expression of enlightened sentiment and cultured taste.
The strictly material progress of Saint Paul during the quarter century past, does not come within the purview of this chapter. In those preceding. the details of its growth in trade. commerce, population, manufactures, and all the indus- tries which go to make up a prosperous community, have been as fully presented and discussed, as could be suitably done in such a work. But this may be said, that, coupling the substan- tial character of our development with its rapidity, the result is quite without example, even in this region and during this period of marvelous growth. We cannot, however, contem- plate this picture of progress, pleasing as it is, without notic- ing that ghostly shadows fall upon it, day by day, as one by one of those who laid the foundations of our prosperity, pass away from our midst. The majority of the men who, twenty- five years ago, were influential in the political, financial, and commercial enterprises of the little town just christened after its mission chapel, and whose names and deeds are recorded in this book, sleep now in one or another of the pleasant cem- eteries that lie on the outskirts of the city which they founded. The many are taken ; the few are left. May these few linger among us during long years to come, enjoying the prosperity which they helped to create, and receiving the benediction of every worthy citizen of our beautiful Saint Paul !
