All these objects can hardly fail to Impress
the mind of the young Prince. But the crown
ing good that is likely to result from bis visit
will be the disabusing of bis mind of whatever
erroneous Impressions he may have received
concerning the working of our democratic In

The State Printer.

We notice that the House of Rep.
rescntativcs have adopted resolu-
ton ordering an investigation into the
affairs of the State Printer. Perhaps
they will take occasion to inquire
what was the contract made with Mr..
Tcesdale by the Board Of Education
at their first session, and whether that
contract was faithfully fulfilled on his
part or not. They can ascertain if he
agreed to furnish 800 copies daily Of
printed reports of proceedings of the
Board for the session Of twenty days
and if he failed to print the reports on
fre of those days-issuing but fifteen
different slips in all and also ascer.
tain whether he drew pay (Sl0O) for
the ,ohoie time Of twenty days or not.
They can also ascertain whether the
paper, on which these reports were
printed, was bought by Mr.. Tccsdale
or by the State. 1t is possible that
the fucts in these cases, when brought
out, will indicate why Mr.. Tcesdale
was not employed by the Board at
their recent session to furnish reports
of their proceedings. 1t is an old
adage that, people who live in glass
houses should not throw stones" Mr..
Teesdale may make the application,
md then look after the drabs."

Where the Cold Weather Comes From.

During the past year the SmIthS"n-
ian Institution, through its extended
system of meteorological observa-
tions. has been enabled to make some
very curious Investigations respect
ing the three memorable cold days OF
January, 1859, which have almost
found a parallel in the weather cxpe-
rienced at the opening of the present
year.
1t was found that the cold of the
three days above mentioned, swept
progressively over the country like a
wave, coming down from the Arctic
regions, and first entering the terrific
nv of the United States at the extreme
northwest, among the Rocky Noun
tains. 1t was experienced at Utah
three days before it reached the bank
of the Northern Mississippi, and was
heralded by telegraph at Minnesota,
two days before it reached Washing
ton. At Buffalo it was some hours in
advance of Boston, and was felt last
on the Atlantic Ocean, where it APP
pears to have disappeared. This cold
wave also swept south in a most re-
markable manner, and progressively
appeared in Florida, and other South
crn States, and Mexico and the last
pulsations, as it died away, in this di-
rection, being experienced in Central
America and among the West India
Islands. Taken all in all, it was one
of the most remarkable meteorologi
cal phenomena ever noticed, and tn,
facts collected seem to prove that tn,
originating impulse came from the cS
IRENE Northwestern portions Of tn
American Continent,

q" LO! the Poor Indian.

Several families of the Winncbago
Indians are encamped just above
town, hungry and destitute. Game is
scarce the present winter, and the In
dams are induced to wander abou {
among the white settlers in order to
obtain food. The miserable wrctchcs
would no doubt sooner starvc than till
the ground, and thus gain livcli
hood by their own industry. One OF
them the other day, while intoxicated,
fell from his horse and injured him sc.
vcrely. At one time he was suppos-
cd to be dead, and the Indians began
to make preparations to bury him.
He is still alive, however, and will
probably recover. The iirc-watcr,
which the Indians acW have in one
way or another, is fast doing its dead
ly work among them, and ere long
these worthless redskins Will be
known only in name. 1t used To be

The Burlington Hawkcye says that
three MisSourians lately went over in
to Kansas in pursuit Of a runaway
chattcl and put mp for the night with
a Mr.. Taylor, near Ossawatomie.
Soon after, the house was surrounded
by band of forty men, who obliged
the Missouri party to surrender they

hats, boots. &c, which were divided
among the crowd, aud the negro was
brought forward to confront them
with mockery and laughter. Their
horses were then taken from the sta
BILE, and, after compelling them to
give the negro fifty dollars, the fugi-
tive was mounted on the best horse
and started for Canada. The Missou-
rians threaten a terrible vengeance.

produced that salutary fear among
men Of his sort that was expected
from it.

1t appears to have been the gener,

State Convention that VIM. II. Sew
ard was the choice of a majority of the
Republicans of Iowa for the Prcsi-

politicians who have other preferences
do not like to admit this fact, still we
believe it to be true The Ohio men
in this State and elsewhere are san

that the Ohio delegation themselves

The SKY AN INDICATOR OF THE WEArH-
ER.-Thc colors of the sky at particu-
lar times afford wonderfully good
guidance. Not only does rosy sun
set presage fair weather, and a rudy
sunrise bad weather, but there are
other tints which speak with equal
clearness and accuracy. A bright
yellow sky in the evening indicates
wind pale yellow, wet neutral
grey color constitutes favorable
sign in the evening, an unfavorablc
one in the morning. The clouds again
arc full of meaning in themselves. II
their forms are soft, underlined, and
fcathcry, the weather will be fine If
the edges are hard, sharp, definite, it
will be foul. Generally speaking, any
damp, unusual hucs bctokcn wind or
rain while the more quiet and deli
cate tints bespcak fair weather. Sim
pie as these maxims are, the British
Board of Trade has thought fit to pub
lish them for the use of scattering men.

Cedar Falls Railroad.

The citizens of Bremen County have
recently held a railroad meeting at
which Judge Maxiicld presided and +.
c. Moulton was Secretary. Col. Ses-
slons, financial agent Of the Cedar
Falls and Minnesota Railroad Compa-
ny, was present, and stated that he
held in his hand contract, duly exc
cutcd, between the said Cedar Falls &
Minnesota Railroad Company, and GER
tain responsible parties in Massachu-
sets, which contract called for the
completion of said road to Waverly,
on or before the first of January, A.
D. 1861. He also stated that said
contract contained the following pro.
visos =" That the County take stock in
said road to the amount of $50, 100000 )"
aud that $35 100000 individual stock
be subscribed by the citizens of the
county.
Messrs. Lampman of Cedar Falls,
and Pratt, agent of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, entertained the meeting
with practical and common-sense
speeches upon the subject which had
called the people together.
The following are among the reso-
lutions reported and advocated by Mr..
Harmon and others, and unanimously
adopted by the convention:
late decision has declared that bonds vo
ted for railroad purposes are illegal, there
fore,
Rasolred, That we, citizens of Bremen coun
ty, whilst conCcding the legality of said deci
sion, believe and consider that it operates great
ly to the disadvantage of the several Countie
III this State, that have heretofore had reason
to expect the early construction of Railroad
through the aid they were willing to give il
their corporate capacity.
Resolred That we believe, that, in justice t.
such counties, the Legislature of this Stat
now in session should, at its earliest conve
niencc, pass an act legalizing the right of coun
ties to take stock by vote in Railroads, and is
sue their corporate bonds therefor.
Resoirod, That it is the opinion of this meet
ing, should the Cedar Falls & Minnesot
Railroad Company, satisfy the citizens of Bre
mer county, that they (the C. +. & NJ. Co.
have the ability to push forward the Railroad
north as far aS Waverly by the first Of Janua
