Reeds Landing, at the foot of the Lake, has at
this time fifteen Steamers lying at her levee, all
bound for this port, loaded with freight and pas
sengers. Our backward season is very discoura-
ging to emigration. We are in hopes that the
ice in the Lake will break up in day or two,
but it has every appearance Of being as strong
as it was a month ago. o. ,;st II, /.
The citizens of St. Paul may feel proud of the
splendid Mail Steamers that are to run in con-
nsction with the Rail Road at Dunleith and Du-
buque, for this port. Capt. Worden of the Key
City and Capt Harris of the Grey Eagle are well
known as old and experienced officers.
Capt. Scott of the Golden Era 10 an efficient
Commander on the Lower Mississippi, and We
would recommend him to those interested. In
fact, all the boats and all tho officers of the boats
are such as commend themselves to the approba-
ton of our citizens.

FRIENDS OF MrNNEsoTA.-Itis is always pleasure
to us to greet by the hand those who have aided
in the Development Of our Territory, but more
particularly that class of men, who, occupying in
fuential positions, have used their exertions in
our behalf. Among these, we were pleased to meet
yesterday, Hon. DANIEL MACE, member of Con-
gress from Ohio, and Hon. GEo. w. CHASE, for
mer member of Congress from New York, both of
whom worked manfully for our Land Grant Bill,
and for the success of Republican principles.
While we accord to them and others much praise,
we cannot withhold from Hon. HENRY M. RICE,
our Delegate, that measure of need due him for
his efforts in advancing our interests. We are
informed by gentlemen we'll posted, that he used
his best exertions in procuring the passage of our
Land Grant Bill, and has been the means Of pro-
curing invaluable aid for our Territory. " ALI
honor to whom honor is due, )" is motto worth
.cherishing.

Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more women than toll or sorrow.
Obedience to fashion is greater transgression
of the laws of woman's nature, a greater injury
to her physical and mental constitution, than the
hardships of poverty and neglect. The slave wo.
man at her task will live and grow old, and see
two or three generations of her mistress pass
away. The washerwoman, with scarcely q ray
of hope to cheer her in her tolls, will live to see
her fashionable sisters all die around her, and
the kitchen maid is hearty and strong when her
lady has to be nursed like sick baby. It is q
sad truth that fashiOn-pampered women arc al
ways most worthless for all the great ends of
human life. They have bat little force of char
acter they have still less power of moral will,
and quite as little PHYSICAL energies.
They live for no great purpose in life they
accomplish no worthy ends they are only doll
forms in the hands Of mi,liners and servants to
be dressed and fed to order. They dress nobody !;
they feed nobody and save nobody. They write
no books they set no rich examples of virtue
and womanly life. If they rear children, SER
wants and nurses do it all, save to conceive and
give them birth. And when reared what are they?
What do they ever amount to but weaker scions
of the old stock? Whoever heard of fashion
able woman exhibiting any power of mind for
which it became eminent? Read the biography
of great men. Not one of them had fashona-
BILE mother. They nearly all sprang from plain,
strong minded women who had about as little to
do with fashions as with the changing of the
clouds.

which our American civilization is making West

to compute the Development of culture and en-

forests are laid low, how the desert is made to
blossom, how the pulse of life is made to beat in
the dead corpse of nature, how mighty rivers are
sspanned and mighty wastes pierced by iron roads,
how the prairie is dotted with hamle,s, and the
silence of eternity broken by the voice of the hus-
bandman. bow enterprise, hand in hand with cap

Six years ago Minnesota was a myth. The

CLAIM JpMPING.-We learn from the Superior
Chronicle, that claim-jumping has become an
'sinstitution' of that place. One man was so
severely wounded that but faint hopes are enter
tanned of his recovery. The cause of the diff.
Guilty is thus summed up by the Chronicle -
"The tardv action of the General Government
in pushing forward the surveys and in opening
the land Office at Buchanan so that pre-. emptors
on that side might obtain legitimate title to the
lands which they have claimed, is the cause of
much of the disturbance" eaE
c. The Editor of the Shakopee Republican is
making himself ridiculous, like some Of our city
EDITORS by casting low, dirty filings at those of its
citizens who responded to the call for help from
the settlers near Msnkato. He will find before
he gets through with this matter, that it is not
subject for ridcule, and that his wit, (or rather
his attempt at wit,) will cost him more than he
bargained for The fact that torty-sepen settlers
were murdered and that four reputable white wo-
men are now held in bondage BY the savages, is
sufficient reason for excitement on the part of
the people and every one who, with full knowl-
edge of these facts seeks to turn the affair into
rdcule, will sooner or later receive that execra-
tion an irstlv dua them.

DesoIation of Palestine.

In Palestine you are nearly as much 10 the
wilderness as in Arabia; as to inhabitanis;
they are precisely the things which do not
exist, for all you can tell, except in the towns
and villages you pass through. You ride on
day after day, and you rise over each hill,
and sink into each valley, and except an oc..
casional solitary traveller with his servant and
his muleleer, or Turkish officer and his par
ty, rarely does moving object appear upon
the landscape. No cattle are on the land,
and no passengers are on the highways.--:
The loneliness strikes you more like that OF
the desert, for il seems unnatural, because
he re there should be life, and there is none.
Sometimes you may make out at distance
on the hillside single figure, a man on a
donkey. Il, is the only moving thing you can
detect all around. From Jerusalem TO Bey.

Horseback Riding.

MP. Willis, in one of his 1nvalid Letters"
thus speaks of the therapeutic virtues OF
horseback riding:
1t was secret which did not discover by
books that exercise, with the legs Of horse
to do the work, distributes the blooe's fulness
and freshness to the exiremiiies; but that ex-
ercise with your own legs to do the work,
draws the fullness and freshness Of the ex-
tremities TO the centre. Life and strength,

A recognition of the same fact may be
seen in the advice given by medical books
to literary men--or men whose brains are
overworked by prolonged attention OF any
kind. "Avoid walking as an exercise
And the reason given Is "'ha, the concenlra'
