The Argus and Democrat.

This paper, published at Madison, by
E. A Calkins & Co., is one of the most
readable of our exchanges. We never ad
mired Calkins' political procliyities, though
always regarding him as one Of the most
talented of the editorial fraternity in the
State. Through the late canvass he adyo-
Gated the election Of Breckenridge, but it
seems that be has now cut loose from the
Democratic organization, and proposes here
after, to use his own words, to pursue a
conservative, independent course, untram-
meled by the dictates of party, or partizan
policy and will yield to the measures of
both the State and National Administra-
ton flat tend to strengthen the bonds Of
national fraternity, and preserve the Union
of the States, hearty and cordial sup

a Commitment

Many years ago there was q peraebins
station some distance from Princeton, where
it was usual to send the icentiates of the
seminary to preach, and they. very properly
performed the duty assigned them with
a due regard to the great importance Of
preaching well prepared sermons. One
of their habitual bearers was an old Jer-
sey slave, known as Uncle Sam. sincere,
humble, Christian man, but. of course,
wholly unedncated Always when he came
home from preaching, he would try to tell
his mistress what he could remember of
the sermon, and he always came with the
same complaint He was a poor, ignorant
old man, be would say and he could not
understand those learned men at all. The
little he did comprehend was mingled with
SO much that was deep that he could not
remember it. a One day, however, Uncle
Sam came home in great good humor
There was poor, ignorant old man, lust
like himself, he said, who had come to
preach that day.
It was plain that he did not know much
indead he was hardly fit to preach to the
white people, but Sam was glad be had
come for his own sake for he could remem-
Der everything he had said
On inquiry it was found that Sans 10
norant old preacher was DIR. Archibald Al
exander and when the Dr. heard the crit
icism, he said that it was the highest COM
pliment ever paid to his preaching. Ban

1T is rumored that Hon. G. Fl, LAR
RABEE has made arrangements to leave
Horizon and to remove to Oregon when
bis term in Congress expires. We do not
know how true the report is, but are in
clined to doubt its correctness. That he
may contemplate leaving Wisconsin is IN
doubtedly true, but Oregon, new that she
is Republican State, is no place for Sc
ambitious man as Larrabee lie ought

He can find congenial spirits there, if no

JEFFERSON TERR1ToEY,-We had the
pleasure, last evening. of meeting our
friend B. D. Williams, Esq, delegated to
Congress, from Jefferson Territory. He
informs Us that the census report will show
the population to exceed so, GOO Denver
City alone has 5000 inhabitants. The
miners are generally making money, and
some of them fortunes. There are two
hundred and fifty quartz mills in the Ter
ritory, costing from $4,000 to $4,000
each, It is estimated that $4,000, 000
Will he mined the present year. What the
inhabitants most want is stable Govern
ment of some kind. There is no law ex-
cept a provisional government law which
does not amount to much. Lynch law
reigns supreme, and thieves as well as MUIR
delers are hung. Mr.. Williams gives the
most fattering picture of the prosperity of
the TER tory .-LouiSrille Courier, 1911.

w. E. HAGAN, Troy, N. Y.,-Dear Sir:
Having used your Hair Coloring or Restorative, and be-
ing much pleased with 1t, I take pleasure in making the
following statement From the effects of a very severe
fit of sickness when about 10 years Of age, my hair com.
menced turning grey, and so continued to grow until 1T
BECAME PERFECTLY WHITE, being very harsh and coarse.
Last Summer had reached my ~ffty:third year, when l
was induced by a friend to purchase two bottles of Helm
streets Hair Restorative prepared by you. I commenced
using 1t according to directions, and in a few days was
turning back to its original color. 1t So continued to grow
until 1t was as truly brown and glossy as it was in my
youthful days, and is now fully restored to Its original
color. MYLA SEAMAN.

Mr.. W. E. HAaAN: Ihave used Heimstreet's Hair Res.
torative for three years, and have found 1t to be a most ex.
cellent article. It not only restored the color Of my hair,
giving 1t new life and strength, but it cured myself and
wife Of a most obstinate eruption upon the scalp, which
nothing else seemed to benefit. fully believe It to be the
best article in use. Yours, Respectfully,
KNOWLTON ROWLAND.
The above are but a few of the many letters of recon-.
incubation which have been rendered to the proprietors OF
Heimstreets Hair Coloring or Restorative. 1t has been
used by thousands of people, andi never fails to restore
the color and growth of the hair. This singular effect Is
not produced as when dyes are used for 1t acts upon the
natural secretions Of coloring matter at the roots, and thus
effects the change. The color produced is not a counter
felt, but the natural shade of youth. 1t does not color the
skin.

A NOBLEMAN.

Yea, though his face is brown with tan,
Show me q nobler if you can
His garb is coarse, and soiled and torn,
Old fashioned, too, and thread bare Worr
And to the fopling looks forlorn.
But mark each 18th and sinewy limb,
Neither too gross, nor yet too sllm'
God and himself have given hlm.
God and himsalfI dare repeat,
Though labor, have performed the feat,
And made the noblestman you meet.
He is no crouching, cringing thing,
The minion base Of priest or king,
Tha. tribute will to master bring.
He connot bend the supple knee
For place, to those who chance to be
Clothed with brief authority.
He is no trammeled partisan,
The bright slave Of creed or clan,
That dsres not what becomes a man.
He cannot stoop to intrigues vile,
The caitif rabble to beguile
For power, and thus his soul define.
But walks erect, and firm, and bold,
As though he all himself controlled
Thus does his inner life unfold.
Not with a proud and naughty MEN,
Apompous strut and backward lean'
Like some vain cyclists we've seen.
But concious of his innate worth,
Needless of accident of birth,
He peers him with the best OF earth.
God grant that we may ever be
All emulous of such IS he,
His compeers in nobility

she got married-so now he had it. The

AMERICAN RA1LwAYs.-The American
Annual for 1858 has some interesting sta
tistics of Railways in the United States
The publication of which may do some
thing toward lessenipg the folly that has
characterized the construction and manage
ment of our railways in the past few years.
In the past nine years our railways have in.
creased from 1859 miles to 1884 miles.
In eight of the Western States the greater
part of these roads have been constructed.
The cost of all these roads has been $780,
457, O7O, and one third of this vast sum was
wasted in construction. In addition to 49,
900 miles of railway now in operation, 49,
900 more are under contract or projected,
