couchcs, and having devoared an unpara
iel!ed amount Of nutritious al;mont, again
went forth. The day was exceeding
cold, and the rising sun tortured the winds
to mainess; and they, seethng, and
groaning, rushed furiously over tho earth.
Swift we sped before the gale; and soon
stepped forth upon the bosom of the
GREAT RIVER. Der this boundless plain
of g!stening white, the wind, unbroken
for many league, howled furiously. We
make circular apertures through the ice
and fell a: fishing with might and main.
Traas.-Fron Diamond Bluff, after a
hearty breakfast in the morning, we drove
to the fishing ground. The coolest in
habtant" had never experienced a colder
day; yot we, disregarding this bitter cold,
cut holes in tho ice, and caught number
of nice pike.
Seriously, it is jolly good fun, is fish
ing through the ice. You lay yoM buff
falo rolc fat down to windward of the
hole, and sitting upon it close to the opcr-
ing in the ice, you draw the role over
you, at the same timo shutting yourself
up Ike a pocket knife. Now you place
your face close down to the water, and
YOU can see all around in it, for the rays
of light pass through the ice, making the
water appear yellow and warm. You can
see the fish swimming all around and
nibbling the bait. You faithfully urge
them to bite, until you are constrained to
straighten your limbs for rest, when tho
wind whisks handful of snow in your
face, and you feel that you are body

We quit fishing and came home. We
have virtuously resumed our daily en-
ments ana are happy. We thank you,
o, reader, for your gentle courtesy, and
pending another opportunity to engage
in piscatorial pursuits, we bid you Good
Bye.

Yours,

Two give the following extracts from
a private letter from member Of the
Legislature.
The County Commissioner Bill came
up yesterday in the Senate, and although
there is considerable opposition, / think
there is no d IL bat that it vii! pass"
THE Peace Commissioner resolutions
have elected more debate and i'll feeling
among Republicans, than any and all
other questions that have come up since
the Republican, party has been formed.
"The discussion of the matter has prov
ed to my mind ouo fact; you can't tell
by the looks Of nan the amount of
backbone that lies under his coat, nor
can YOU tell the strength of his knees I'M
til you see him travel up hill.
"There were six Republicans in the
Senate voted with the Democrats to send
Commissioners, which made just tie
vote, and our Lieut.. Gov. gave the de-
Gliding vote for Commissioners, 50 that
all we could do was to look on AMI see
the thing sip through. But they fixed
the thing up so in the Assembly, that the
mother who bore it could not tell her
own bantling, and it came back to the
Senate so amended that it drove one
goat back into the sheep fold, and we
put on another patch, and the Assembly
tabled the animal.
Il begin to think that the Republican
party is good for nothing except to be in
the minority"

MADISON, Feb. ooh 1881


BRo. LITE 1t seems that the malta
are very slack in getting to your place.
/ he Legislature has notdone much yet.
The real praise IS to what they have not
done, lie. is manfnIIy refusing TO send
Commissioners TO the ''pcaco Conven.
ton on the invitation of Va. with the
ayowed purpose to amend the Constitu-
ton for the better protection of Slavery
Every effort has been made to carry the
matter through the Legislature, the Dem
ocrats all voting in its favor and enough
weakened, compromising, semi-republi-
cans so that the resolutions to send Com
missionors was only killed by one vote
A Bill has been passed, approved and
published postponing the sale of lands
in Pierce County for the delinquent tax
es for 1860 to the 1st Tuesday in Sep
tcmbcr next.
A Bill has been introduced to entirely
change the Homestead law. l don't
think it will pass however. A bill TO
abolish the County Board of Supervisors
system on test vote passed the Senate.
This is good move and will save the
people thousands of dollars annually.
The main topic now before the leg
islature is the bill for tie relief Of the
Farm Mortga@ors. AS the bill passed
the Senate it is a remarkable document.
1t is warmly discussed by lawyers, Judges
and every body else. 1t came up in the
Assembly to day and WAS amended, and
will be delayed there several days. The
22nd of February by lar is hencefor-
ward a hoIyday. There have been
over 200 bills introduced in the two
houses but only a few have passed. A
caucus was held this evening by the
members of the legislature to determine
upon the propriety ofnominating Can
didate for associate Justice of the Su-
prsme Court, but nothing has been done
The contest will be between Justice Cole
and J. II. KNowLToN. jim Knowton
i, sound, "emnently sound" and | hope
that he may be elected. [ think there IS
no doubt but that he will be. He has
the svmpathisers of the Farm Mortagor'
who are large part of the population OF
the State. The Southern traitors
thieves have warm sympathisers here
among the Democrats, which is almost
general with them. The marriage is
complete between Democracy and S!a-
very, and their children are secession,
treason, robbery and death.

''Nfr. Beecher is a Christian Mira

lar;ty which the old Marquis complained
of N his son. lie has at once the arms
of Yulcan and those Of Apollo. His pas
sion does not degenerate into temper, like
some, whom, nevertheless, we are glad to
praise. His very anger resolves itself
into love. OF all his weapons, his good
humor is, perhaps, his most dangerous
one. For these who speak in public or
in private with any admix;ure of spite,
convey always the impression of unfair
ness, and cause reaction in favor Of those
whom they attack. But Beecher seems
really 10 love bis enemies-one thinks
that, were they present, they would find
him rs irresistible "a wo do. He is in
deed a lover Of mankind, and We con-
graduate tho Human Race, often so
coIIIy and sourly courted, upon having
one lover Mt least who can WOO so warm
", an who is in danger only of killing
with Kindness. Poor Human Race. so
many OF your adorers are cold, cross, and
cunning, having, like the planets, a
merely luminous surrounding, which
leaves the heart dark aud earthly. Take
Beecher for your true knight-you will
never do better.
