Illustrations of the fall of Pemberton Mills;
among other cuts, is one of fireman tres
cuing a young lady from the ruins. The
young lady, who, by the way, is whale in
size and muscular developments, is repre-
scented in the arms of the stalwart "Mr.
BuRREDoE," with sheet or blanket thrown
round her, exposing her lower limbs and
her bust and exhibiting the absence of that
important article of apparel which ladies'
are expected to wear next to the cuticle
Now, when it is remembered that the fall
of the building took place at o'clock in the
afternoon, and that the fire began about
nine, we suggest that nobody about that
mass of ruins was so cool as deliberately to
disrobe and retire to bed First, there were
no beds there, and secondly, the occasion
was not a sleep-inviting one. FRANK LES
LIE gets up some good cuts, but he has no
business to represent any young lady with
out that essential first garment on. FRANK
should make shift to get something else
for his paper besides the old illustrations and
portraits that have done duty in the London
print-shops since the year 1900.

The Senate at Des Moines has passed an

statement of the birth, location, age, poll

We notice that the Legislature has elected
Al the supernumeraries about the Capitol

We did not see the ballots for Wood-Split-

less indicative Of decided party victory.
In most States, q few only Of the leading
officers are elected, and to them is given the
appointment of reasonable number of as

This excellent Democratic news and COM
mercial journal came to us in its daily issue
OF Thursday week, in beautiful new dress
and bearing many other marks of decided
Improvement. The Times is probably the
most influential paper in the west, strongly
devoted to the Popular Sovereignty doctrine
of the northern Democracy, and pledged to
use all honorable effort to secure the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Douglas The daily comes
at six dollars, and the weekly at $3.50 rer
annum; when taken in clubs of ten or
more, the weekly is sold at one dollar per
year.
While we have been favored with an cx.
change with nearly all the leading dailies Of
the west, irrespective of party, SnEnAN &
PRICE do not thus oblige us, though of our
own kith and kin politically. We prefer to
1my the Times, rather than to publish Ten
dollar prospectus to get an exchange with
It, or any other paper.

Times Building last week which is as nice
as paint and skill can make it. 1t cannot
be described on paper, but to see it one
would conclude that it was blocked out of a
tremendous large alphabet of red, green and
white letters. 1t was properly "wet" when
it got up. The Walters do as good work
as we ever expect to need and we are glad
to know that they are always busy.

mends the Benevolent Institutions, Educa.
tional Interests, State University, Peniten-
siary, and Agricultural College, to the care
of the Legislature; advises the payment Of
the principal of the permanent School Fund
into the State Treasury, and its investment
in paying stocks; recommends a law au-
thorizing the Judge of each district to APP
point an accountant to 60 round and exam
inc the books Of all public officers in his
district; curses the Nebraska Bill as the au-
thor Of all our sectional troubles; condemns
BRowN as Fillibuster, deplores his insane
attack upon Virginia, but manages to leave
the act itself in half justifiable shape; ad-
vocates Homestead Bill, and thinks the
Pacific Road should be great central trunk
route to the mountains, and recommends
the payment of taxes in State Bank paper.
On Slavery, he spreads quite extensively.
In allusion to the passage, by the South, of
anti-frec-negro laws, Mr.. X. says we don't
want the darkies here! A plan is recon-
rnended, which originated with BLAIR of
Missouri of buying land in South or
Central America and colonizing the free ne
grocs, the United States guaranteeing them
protection for the advantages of having
their trade. The Governor does not tell us
who has the land to sell for this purpose,
but an intelligent colored man of McGregor
says 'the blacks who arr born in the Uni
ted States have as good right here as the
whites-thc exile Of the one race is as prop
er as the other.''
