Working Girls.

Happy girls ! who cannot love them p
With cheeks like the roses, bright eyes, and
elastic step, those girls will make excellent
wives. Blest indeed will those men be who
secure such prizes. Contrast those who do
nothing but sigh all day, and live to follow
the fashions, who never earn the bread they
eat, or the shoes they wear; who are langu;d
and lazy from one weeks end to the other.
Who but simpleton and popnjay would
prefer one Of the latter, if he were looking
for a companion2
Give us the working girls; they are worth
their weight in gold. You never see them
mncing along, or jump dozen feet to steer
clear of spider or a fly; they haye no afIec-
tation or silly airs about them. When they
meet you, they speak without putting on a
dozen silly airs, or trying to show off to bet
ter advantage; and you feel as if you were
talking to human being, and not to a paint
ed automaton, or fallen angel.
If girls knew how badly they missed it
while they endeavor to show off their deli
cate hands and unsoiled skins, and put on a
thousand airs, they would give worlds for the
situation OF the working ladies', who are as
far above them in intelligence in honor, in
everything, as the heavens above the earth.

The Pioneer, his old organize never forgets
a friend-of yesterday, publishes an sable
and eloquent address" from his prolific pen to
the people of Minnesota. While reading
it, for the life of it, we couldn't keep from
thinking Of the olden timc-his eloquent
speeches, his noble physique, came wildly to
our mind. That Kossuth speech which was
SO eloquent that the Pioneer could only print
one column-but vouched for the remainder
being as remarkable as that printed-has been
running through our brain all day. Oh, Will
liam, your address brings up some powerful
recolections. Do you have any more dreams?

Now is the time when gold dollars are hid
in old stockings. Now is the time when six
pences are tucked away in snub nosed tea
pots. Now money is laid by in cupboards-
for mice to nbble thrust into corners

for pickpockcts to grab at; hid behind the
wood work-for the next generation to find /;
and buried in the ground. to be lost and for
gotten. Now men rush frantic to draw cash
out of safe places and put it into unsafe ones.
Now poor families lose five per cent. for the
privilege Of having their savings where they
will keep them awake of nights. Now Far
mers hang up deposits in the shot pouch be-
hind the door housewives sew up gold
pieces in their skirts and travellers weigh them
selves down with body belts. of coin. Now
the improbable servant who hid his talent in
a napkin is canonized into bright and shin
ing Scriptural example, while those who s'put
their money to the exchangers' and looked
suspiciousIv upon, as rash spectators in jew

men privily put all their cash under lock and
kew. and then publicly lament that it has
ceased TO circulate Now men with full
noclets refuse either to pay their debts or to
ioroiyc their debtors. Now the butcher must
wait and the baker must go unpaid, and the

The population Of the United States
amounts at the present moment to about
25,OOO,OO0. eff every individual, says the
New York Herald, in this aggregate were
to economize ten dollars yearly, the annual
saving would be S25O,OOO,OOO. By wearing
our clothes six months longer, the ten dol
lars could easily be spared, and we would
not be less comfortable or respectable for
the economy" This is true, and however
trivial it may seem to begin i'll our own
households the work of removing national
misfortune, yet the figures show that
great deal can be done in this way towards
that object. Industry and economy are the
only real sources of wealth. Industry is
paralyzed at present. and hence we must call
in economy to help us out of the difficulty.
In nothing can it be applied with less injury
to ourselves and the public than in the arti.

LUMBER.-The demand for Lumber is de-
creasing. Many buildings which consumed a
great amount, are now finished, and there are
but few large buildings commencing. The
saw mills have been busy all the season, and
every lumber yard in the city is now full
There is, it is said, between two and three
million feet now piled up in the city. Most
of the mills have discharged one set of hands,
working only II hours in the day, instead of
"A as formerly, in view OF the accumulated
stock on hand. This is much better than
formerly, when builders had difficulty in pro-
curing lumber. Another busy building sea-
son like the pre- sent will decrease these piles,
and afford lucrative business for any mill
near or in the city.

A New SECRET ORpER-The Philadel-
ph'a Democracy have been much excited for
some time by the discovery that a secret or
ganzation exists among them whose object is
to control the conventions, nominations and
Of the Democratic party. 1t is
known in street parlance as "Molly Mcguire"
and is said to be composed of Irishmen, who
profess the Catholic religion. 1t IS bound
by oaths, is strictly organized, with presiding
and subordinate officers, pass words, signs,
grips, degrees, etc. Such is the influence of
this secret order, that candidates for Office
find it necessary to secure its favor in order
to make sure of their nomination. Some of
the Democrats are indignant, and talk of call
ing convention of true Democrats to crush
ont the "Molly Maguires," who are looked
upon as kind of foreign Know Nothing or
der But if rumor tells the truth, this order
is not confined to Philadelphia. 1t is alleged
to have originated In Boston and extended
thence to New York and all the principal cit
les of the Union.

A Row-Occurrcd on Sunday afternoon,
in this wise. An individual was walking along
on the street in front of a coffee house, when
some one in one of the upper stories spit on
him. He thereupon got brick-bat and
rushed up stairs. Seeing another individual
there, he dropped the brck-bat and pro-
ceeded to slap his face several times. Sew
eral other inmates rushed in thereupon, and
a general row ensued, in which the belliger-
ent individual from the pavement was consd-
erably "whaed."

Gov. Ramsey and the Sioux Indians.
The leaders of the Bogus Democracy hav-
ing chosen to revive Col. ROBERTSON OLD
charges of "Sioux Frauds" against Gov.
RAMSEY. we feel called upon to re-publlsh
the Colonel's celebrated retraction OF these
CHARGES which reads us follows
GapsBY's HOTEL,
Washington, Jan'y "a, 1854.
SIR I'm reviewing what have said, and
the charges have madei in relation to your Of
fetal conduct in the negotiation of the Sioux
treaties and paying out the funds under them,
in which was influenced by no personal or i'm
proper motive, and in view of the prejudice
thereby excited against you as man of char
acter, believe it to be but an act Ofsimple JUS
tice to you and myselfto say, i'll an explicit
manner and before leaving the city to return
to Minnesota, that the testimony in the late
investigation of your official conduct in that
regard, satisfies me that you have been fully
acquitted of having been actuated in said
treaties or payments. by corrupt or fraudu-
lent designs, and cheerfully say that in my
opinion, after q full consideration of all the
circumstances and facts in the case, that no
stain rests upon your character in these trans
actions as a man of integrity.
1t is proper to say in this connection, that
L have never charged you with having re-
ceived any pecuniary or personal considera-
ton, but with what l believed to be viola
tion of law about which, am aware, diverse
opinions are entertained.
| will, however add, without further refer
encc to the legal question involved, that if in
the opinion of any, my publications on the
subject have attributed to you, directly or in
directly, criminal intent or base motive, that
you have been unjustly injured, and this
frank avowal you are entitled to receive from
me, whatever our political or personal rela-
tions may be.
Now, as heretofore, upon this and all 9th
er subjects, public or private, feel con-
strained to do what | believe to be right be-
tween myself and fellow men, and therefore
address you this note.
Very respectfully
Your obd't. serv't,
d. A. ROBERTSON.

NJ. r., with a beautiful specimen Of the Syr-
up of the Sugar Cane mede by him. He
raised quite patch'ffom which he extracted
% gallons of the juice, which when boiled
down produced 3 gallons of the Syrup. This
was exceedingly sweet in taste, and much
the same as maple molasses. There is no
doubt now but that this plant can be success
fully raised, and the Syrup manufactured in
any quantity by our farmers. We have seen
some beautiful specimens of the cane and
Syrup, and understand that there is great
quantity of it raised in the Territory.
In another column will be found an account
of the process of raising and boiling it, which
will be of use to those having any yet un-
