1t will thus be seen that the amount of hui
nudity in the atmosphere.of St. Paul during
the winter months is not one-fifth that of New
York City during the same period. A like
remark can be made of Boston Gas represent
ed by Cambridge in the above table, or of
Cincinnati, Ohio.
Let us look next at the influence of
winds on the degree of cold. DR.. Kane gave
it as his experience that the atmosphere at
zero accompanied by high wind was more
uncomfortable and absolutely colder than the
same atmosphere at thirty degrees below ze-
20 without wind. On this subject popular
experience is uniform and it needs no cita-
tions from science to demonstrate that the
amount of wind very materially affects our
sensibility to the cold.
This being granted let us examine how
Minnesota compares IN this respect with 9TH
err points in the Union. To do this we quote
from the "Army Register" the following ex-
tracts as compiled from the report of the
Chief Engineer of the Minnesota and Paci-
fic Railroad Company

q. ID. ELFELT's New DRY Coop STORE
This new and truly splendid store, which
was opened on Monday last, is situated in
the centre of DIR. j. F. Hayward's new and
large stone block, erected last summer on St.
Anthony street, little above Wabashaw. at
a cost of $4,000. The dimensions of the
store are as follows: ITO feet deep, and %
feet wide. To the rear of this are the count
ing rooms and other apartments. The store
is we'll lit in the daytime by the show win
dows in front, and a skylight towards the
rear and by brilliant gas flights at night
The ceiling is high, and the inside finishing Of
shelving, counters, drawers, ETC., are very
nearly superior, if not fully SO, to anything
in the city, and the painting and granting is
also well done.
A basement extends under the store its
whole length, and is high and we'll lit, suita-
BILE for storing goods in the summer. The
hot air furnaces with which the store is heat
ed, are here, an excellent arrangement fol
comfort, and dispensing with the trouble and
dirt of stoves. The carpenter work is by
Mason d Craig, and the painting by Stevens
Messrs. Elicit have been so long in business
here, to say anything in their favor would be
unnecessary. Of course everybody and thei,
friends, will call on them in their new and
splendid store.

1t Appeals that the force of the wind at Fort

Hence, we find although Minnesota occu.
pies comparatively high northern latitude,
the degree of its thermometrical cold is re-
duced by the notifications of the two great
by the small degree of humidity and by the
small amount ofwind in its atmosphere The
result is a clear, dry, bracing and quiet air
well fitted for the development of physical
and mental strength.
The question, however, of the character of
the winter is not of so much Importance to
the emigrant as that of the character of those
months upon which the agricultural success
of the country must depend. The emigrant
will conclude that great degree of cold du-
ring the winter months is more than compen
stated for during the remainder of the year in
the freedom of the settler from the miasmatic
diseases of more southern latitude and in
the enjoyment of that good health for which
this State his a worldwide celebrity. The
great question is as to the agricultural capac-
ties of Mnnesota,-upon these must depend
its future, and these will depend upon three
points,-irst, the soil second, the fall of
rain, and third, the degree of heat during the
months between April and October.
The soil of Minnesota possesses the rich,
dark, alluvial character of the soils of the ad-
jacent States of Iowa and Illinois, with how
ever, greater admixture of sand, which gives
it lighter, looser and warmer Character
We do not consider defence of the charac-
ter of the soil necessary-it has never been
impeached- would however advert to one
fact, viz: that the mixture of sand with the
other elements of the soil makes it receive
more quickly the warmth of the early spring,
having IN this respect decided advantage
over the thick clayey almost impervious soils
of some of the adjacent States.
In respect to the fall of rain, it will be reco-
lected that we have just stated that a less
amount is found in Minnesota during the
winter months than in any other part of the
Union. Now although this serves useful
purpose in moderating the cold of the winter,
continuance Of the same state of things
during the agricultural months would tend to
create droughts and prove seriously detrimen-
tai to the prosperity of the country. We
will however by referance to the following
extract from the " Cimatology of the United
States" find that instead of this being the
case, the amount of rain and humidity in the
atmosphere increases in the exact ratio re-
CURED by the former and diminishes Just in
proportion as the period for agricultural pur-
suits passes away. This table is based upon
observations made by the United States Gov
eminent at Fort Smelling during period Of
nineteen years, and is as folloMs:

There is one view that might we'll be taken
Ill relation to the Kansas question. 1t is
this: A large majority of the Senate will
never consent to allow Minnesota to pass
without Kansas. That being the case. the
friends of Shields will have to allow the two
to 60 through the House together or else
the Senators of these new States will not, at
least during this session, take their seats in
the Senate. Nov, the course that will be
adopted to effect this object will be for the
Senate to pass bill for their joint admission,
and send it to the House. There it will be
debated, possibly, for short time, when
some of the friends Of the Minnesota admiss-
ion land who are against the admission of
Kansas will be absent on the final VOTE
This will certainly be the termination of the
question. Minnesota cannot pass without
her sister kansas.
