FLoYD's BLuFFs.-A town of the above
name has been laid out and recorded by Mr..
VIM. Thompson, about one hundred miles
above this city, on the Missouri river, at the
pace commonly known as 'Sergeant'S Bluff
The town derives its name from Sergeant
Floyd, who was member of Lewis and
Clark exploring expedition, sent out by the
United States Government, some time about
the year 1900, and whose bones now rest
on the summit OF the imposing and lofty
bluff on the Missouri River.-[Kanesvllc

a letter in the Portland Times, in which he
inserts that "therc are, perhaps, from three
to four thousand fresh graves between the
Missouri and the Dales of the Columbia;
and if the mortality has been equal on the
California route, II Or Is per cent. Of this
years emigration are dead"
Passengers from Oregon state that when
they left, the Columbia river was frozen
over, SO that teams crossed on the ice, as
low down as the mouth OF the Willamette,
which is less than hundred miles from the
ocean. This is a very extraordinary cir
cunstance, and indicates the commencement
Of severe winter. At Eancouvres, six
miles above Willamette, on the north side
Of the Columbia, the snow was near two
feet deep, where winter frequently pas
sos with scarce any snow at all.

The JAPAN ExPEDlTIoN.-The Boston
Post publishes the following extract from a
letter received from gentleman who has
Just returned TO this country from trip TO
China relative 10 the feelings Of the Japan
ese toward the expedition expected from
the United States:
Il was informed by gentleman, a ma
tive of Japan, that the Emperor is ready
for the American expedition. He exhibited
a letter to me which he had just received
from one Of his countrymen then on the
Island of Jeddo. The people kept a strict
look ont all over the coast, and their fires
were already burning on the mountains at
night, in order to be prepared in case the
squadron should appear at night. One mil
lion Of soldiers are ready and at hand. The
coast is all set with guns, while in the bay
of Jeddo, where the fleet is expected, there
are countless war junks, and the whole bay
is surrounded with innumberable forts.-
The expedition will find the japanese much
better soldiers than they anticipate. The
presents had better have been left at home
A trade will not soon be opened with that
country, except by force"

Reading and Writing in Connecticut

Mr.. Barnard, in a recent lecture before
the Smithsonian Institution, on the subject
of popular education, took OCCASION to state
that SO complete is the education OF the peo-
pie of Connecticut, according to the testi-
mony of the best lawyers who practice in
the courts, and of public functionares gen.
orally, asingle native of that State who was
unable to read and write had not come
within their knowledge.
A higher compliment on a state could not
possibly be given than to say that each man
and woman that is born within its borders
is provided with education enough to read
the Bible and to transact all the ordinary
business OF life. This is precisely tanta-
mount to saying that the State has, with a
most wise foresight, placed within the reach
Of all the means Of accomplishing them
selves in the various departments Of knowl-
edge: for, with such education as the free
schools furnish, a boy may 60 on and accu-
late the most extensive stores Of education
The celebrated Edmund Stone, who over
came obstacles that would have appalled, al
most any other youth, declared that knowl
edge of the alphabet was the key 10 univer-
sal knowledge. Whether that remark be
true or not, it certainly is true that with
such an education as is furnished in the free
schools of Connecticut, each boy and girl il
the State is able to start off in any direction
in quest of knowledge, with the means Of
attaining it in his or her power.
We wish that it could be said Of all The
States in this Union that every boy and gir
within their borders is taught 10 read anc
write, for, were that the case, there wou'C
he more comforts enjoyed, there would be
less british vice, there would be more vir.
tuous incentive, and, in fine, the condition
of things would be far more in accordance
with Christianity. People would be hap
pier and better, and the country would be
more vigorous in its prosperity, and more
straightforward in its progress.

A southern planter named p, pretty well

DON'T CARE

Old Don't Care is a murderer foul,
And a murderer foul is he,-
He beareth halter in his hand,---
And his staff is the galows-tree;
And silly he follows his victim on,
Through high degree and low,
And strangles him there, when least aware,
And striketh the fatal blow
Hanging his victim high in the air,
A william strong is Old Don't Care!
He looks on the babe at his mothers breast,
And blighteth that blossom fair,
Fer its oung buds wither, and fade and die,
Meath the gaze of Old Don't Care;
And in place Of these there springeth up
Full maay poisonous weed,
And their tendrils coil round the victims heart
A ank and loathsome breed,
Blghting the spirit young and fair,
A william strong is Old Don't Carel
He meeteth bold manhood on his way,
And wrestleth with him there,
And he falls sure and easy prey
To the strength of Old DON'T Care!
Then he plants his foot on the victims breast,
And shouteth with demon joy,
And treadeth the life from his painting heart,
And exulteth to destroy
Crushing bold manhood every where,
\ william strong is Old Don't Care!

BALTIMORE AND ONO RAILRoAD.-This
stupendous work leads through and over
much magnificent scenery, extending from
Ohio river most of the way 10 Cumberland,
Twenty miles from Wheeling is Sheperd's
tunnel, which is 36O feet long, and hewn
out of solid rock, at depth of 100 feet be-
low the apex Of the hill. Ten miles fur
ther is Wellington's tunnel, about quarter
of mile through. Going east, next is Pet.
tybone tunnel, not yet completed. 1t will
be half a mile through, and is to be finished
in about six weeks. To this point the road
is hemmed in by towering, precipilou,
mountains-oiten nearly perpendicular tc
the base OF the gorge below--and it,passes
through almost continuous deep cuttings, OF
ove- heavy embankments. The PettybonC
or Broadtree mountain is now crossed by
the most powerful locomotives, each engine
taking over two cars. The ordinary loco
motives also require their aid, not being o
themselves able 10 overcome the grade.

Silver Coinago.

1t is a subject Of general complaint that
Congress has yet taken 10 practical step in
reference 10 the small silver coinoge. The
daily increasing scarcity Of silver change is
matter in which the whole country feels
an interest, from the serious inconvenience
1t entails. Silver has now become a reeli-
lar article Of merchandise, and is sold in
or own and other cities, at from ,hrcc t,
four per cent. premium. Those who in III,
course Of business obtain more of it than
they need sell it, and others who require it
have 10 submit to the la, of buying It at this
advanced rate. This is, muuifc.t'v, an IL
regular condition Of affairs, and ere TO which
an adequate remedy should be applied wi:h
the least possible delay.
The necessity Of sonc change in Tie rela-
tive value Of on; silver coinage was fully dis
cussed in the Treasury Report for lS5l.-
Secretary Corwin then adycrted to the ir-
creased legal value of silver in Great Bri-
tain as compared with our own, and recon-
mended such an alteration Of the law os
would give 10 silver in this country such
al additional value as would prevent IFS ex-
port. He then stated Tie relative ynlre, ~
gold and silver to be
In The United States. as to 1888
In rance. ce...........as to lJ,499
In Great Britain. as to l4.28S
In other words l4.2S3 ounces of silver
coin IN Great Britain are equal to 1855
ounces in the United States.
The causes producing this appreciated
value OF our silver coin have continued 10
operate until the great bulk has been ex
ported to Europe, and we have now. it
l. asserted, scarcely enough left to con-
vert into the new coins which have beer
suggested. Senator Hunters bill does mot
propose to fix at present a new relative val
ne between gold and silver, but seeks bv a
reduction IN the actual value Of our silver
coin, as expressed on It's face, to rende, il
no longer more desirable article OF ex,ort
tnan gold. This would be done without
oaSihg our coin, simply by diminishing the
quantity o' silver il the half dollar, and in
COINS o. smaller value, BY about 6.9l per
cent. The present value Of the silver dol
!.r would not be touched, ut ofcou.se, IN
der the influence Of the bill, this coin
wo"Id soon disappear, to be reproduced in
coin OF less value. It is cviden! that This
measure, or one that viii obtain the sapo
object will be the only means of retaining
in the country The small amount of silver
now held here. The question Of making
the only legal standard, and Of defining the
relative value o'the two metals, may be al.
tended to hereafter, when their production
throughout the world can be more near.
. iy ascertained; but the retention of onr
silver currency is matter Of Immediate
and practical importance, and we earnestly
hope that the present session of Congress
will not be permitted to terminate without
some effective action on the subject Bal
