DOMESTIC SUMMARY.

GOLD Misunderstanding to accounts
that reach US from all quarters, there must be
at this moment thousands of emigrants en- route
from the old States for that FL Dorado of the
Rocky Mountains, Pixies Peak. 1t is no COM
mon exodus. 1t is rush-a stampede. Two
hundred persons have already left Boston for
the land of promise-and we fear also of un-
certainty-and gentleman who returned few
days ago to the more civilized portion of Kan
says, says that the read for hundred miles is
alive with gold-hunters, travelling by every pos
sible conveyance, carried or drawn by mules,
horses, or oxen. The Chicago Press and Trib-
une, which has paid much attention to this
Pixies Peak gold-feld, warns the People against
the folly cf ,eayiag good homes and occupa
tons for the doubtful chances of growing rich
in gold-digging.
EXODUS OF SLAvEs.-We learn from The
Keokuk Gate City that drove &c seventy fugi-
tive slaves, from .aa northern counties of Mis-
souri,, passed through Burlington, Iowa, last
Sunday morning, ON their way to the land of
Freedom.
The Petersburg b,!c.2ysencer gives q. very ia
vorable account of the continued growth and
prosperity Of Petersburg.
A man named Richard j. Foster was hanged
in Charleston, South Carolina, last Friday for
grand larceny, i. e., burglary. He was convicted
at last court term. A man who had committed
a murder, some time previously, had his gen.
tence commuted from capital punishment.

Mason and Dixon Line.

Many persons are ignorant of the origin
Of Mason and DiXon's Line, and think it
was established as n separation between
the free and slave States. 1t originated
by the arrangement of dispute between
VIM. Penn and Lord Baltimore, begun as
early as 1850 with reference to the boun,
daries of their respective grants of land,
now forming the States of Pennsylvania,
Delaware and Maryland Lord Baltimore
claiming to,and including the 10th degree
ofNorth LATITUDE. The case was brought in
to the English Court of Chancery, and de
cided against Lord Baltimore. But the
commissioners appointed to mark the
boundaries failed to agree, and after fur
ther litigation and delay the matter was
settled by mutual agreement between the
surviving heirs of the original ltigators,
and in l67l,I Mr.. Charles Mlson, of the
Royal Observatory was sent TO Pennsylva-
mia to measure the degree of latitude. This
duty, in connection with jeremiah Dixon,
he accomplished-established the famous
Mason and Dixon's Line between the pre-
sent State of Pennsylvania on the north
and Maryland on the southland making
his report TO the Royal Society of London
in the year l77G.

Sonnet to March.

Oh wicked March, foul month of frost and mire,
Thyself, Of wintry ire malignant born,
Of agues coughs, and gauut consumption, dire,
Ayaunt with all thy horrors, hence, begone.
Like Judas, wearing now a smiling face,
Thy humor seems like that of genial May,
Luring the unwary to each sunny place;
Yet but an hour, or haply, half day.
And 10 thick, chilling vapors rise aloft,
Cold streams along their icy channels Cow,
The bard and polished track grows thin and soft
And pools abound, of mire and melting snow.
Such is thy smile-thy frown SO vastly worse,
Ny wit despairs to lind sufficient curse.

DEPARTURE OF TUE SEMNoLEs FROM Flo
RIDA-The New Orleans True Delta, of
the Odd of February, says: "The steam
ship Magnolia which arrived here yester
day, stopped at Punta Rassa, and receiv-
ed as passengers the last of the Florida
Seminoles that will ever omigrate to the
West. They We're about seventy in num-
Der, twenty of whom are warriors. When
the steamer touched at Punta Rassa, the
Indians were willing and even eager 20 get
on board. A few hours before that they
were exceedingly dissatisfied, and mani,
tested considerable opposition to leaving.
1t required the utmost tact of Col. Rector
to induce them to await the coming of the
vessel Had she not arrived at the desig-
mated time, they would have betaken
them to their canoes and fled to the jun
giles of the interior The few Seminoles
that remain in Florida-Sam Jones band
will scarce again be heard of. They are
engaged in digging 'coonsie, "(arrow root
for certain traders on the eastern coast.

RETIREMENT or GENERAL HousToN.-This
veteran hero and statesman has closed his
long and eventful public career. In 1914
he was volunteer in Jaclson's army in
the Creek war; more than forty years ago
was member of Congress; then Governor
Of Tennessee, which office he suddenly re-
signed to take up his residence among the
Indians, and adopted their mode of life !;
afterwards, in conformity with plea for
med by himself and General jackson, he
went to Texas with view to revolutionize
and annex it to the United States, which,
after encountering the greatest diiiicul-
ties, and overcoming every obstacle, he ac-
complished their purpose, and Texas be-
came State Previous to the annexation
he was President of Texas, and since that
time has represented the State on the floor
of the L. S. S enate.

ADyERTIsING.-The Philadelphia Bulle
in, in some remarks upon advertising,
very justly remarks:
Disseminating advertising is like taking
down ones own sign. 1t is sort of init
nation Of retirement of business, and the
public treat IL as such. Or they may re-
gard it as evidence that something has
gone wrong, which requires privacy for in
vestigation. Whatever construction may
be upon it, the result is disastrous. Now,
we advise all our readers who may have
fallen into the common error of the sea-
son TO come out of their holes, to put up
their signs once more, and to advertise in
as many papers as they did in the best
times. While business creates advertising
il is equally true that it creates talk and a
stir in business circles and reminds men
that they have no right TO be leading
drone's even in the worst of times adver-
tising always pays WELL and the more oft
there is, the greater will be the circulation
of money, and the sooner will be restored
a condition of prosperity.

MAsQUERADERs IN MILwAUKIr.-A great
masquerade ballwas given in Milwaukie
about a week ago. The Nt,cs Of that city,
in the course Of an article describing il,
says;
"One gentleman fell in love with his
own sister, while another man danced, talk
ed, and promenadcd Nirha gentleman in
woman's dress, three hours, in the vain
hope offnding out who the dear creature
was. One young man took his mother to
the supper, and great was the surprise of
both on learning how natteJs stood. One
of our leading merchants gave his ring to
a young lady if she would raise her mask
that he might see her features when it
was his own sister, who he supposed was
at home with the toothache! Two gentle
men got into a warm dispute as to who a
certain Young lady with black domino
was, and after making wager of two bot~
ties Of champagne, found out that the
young lady was the younger and mischiey-
Gus brother Of the losing party"

Wy machinery must be hauled on runners

the particulars Of the death. at the early
age OF thirty-siX, Of one who, though en-

murder and arson:
This week carried to the grave brok,

is a sad one The 30th of June. 1913. he
was tried convicted, ana sentenced to the
hulks for life, as being guilty Of murder

as convict for seven years, when it was
discovered that hewas iunocrtOftho crimes.
the true culprit having confessed his guilt.
The government did everything they could
to atone for the error: they made him
chleV commissary Of administrative inspec-
ton ofthe Southern railways, and gave his
iather a tobacco sellers place: but seven
years OF agony, seven years spent in con-
sclous innocence and proclaimed guilt are
too heavy trials for human nature, and
the unhappy man died a day or two aco.
only siX-and>thirty years old, and only two
years since his liberation. Instances of
these mistakes are not unlrcouent in
France, where the criminal practice is
very imperfect, and the Judge is made the
prosecuting Attorney. But the French
hold it better that ten innocent shonld
suffer, than one guilty man should escape" +"
