DacOtah TcrritOry.-ElectiOn Of
Delegate.

The telegraph appriscd us. several days
since that John B. S. Todd had been
elected as Congressional Delegate from
Dacotah Territory. 1t did not state his
politics. 1t appears that he is Demo
crat and was elected over Bell, the Re
publican nominee. The Milwaukee Daily
News thus enlightens us as to his anlece'
dents
ale was recently appointed Brigadier
General. He has served in the regular
army eighteen years. He graduated from
West Point in 1927, and entered the
Sixth Infantry as Second Lieutenant ;
was promoted to FIRST Lieutenant in De-
C, mbcr Of the same year, and was made
Captain in 1913. lie served through the
wars in Florida and Mexico with distinc-
ton, and resigned his commission in
1855. He settled in Darotah, and was
appointed sutler at Fort Randall. He
has been active in opening up that vast
and rich region to settlement, and mainly
instrumental in organizing the Territory
of Dacotah. General Todd is man OF
ability, and a hightoned gentleman He
was IN in Kentucky, and first appoint
ed from Illinois"
1t is remarkable that every Territory
and every new State has commenced III
political life Democratic. Dacotah ha
sent an excellent example for the olde
States to initiate, whose elections com
off in October and November.

Keep tEac Mouth Closed.

The author sincerely believes that by
keeping the mouth and teeth shut, per-
son can sleep in any malarious region, or
mingle in any outdoor infection, almost
with impunity. This is discovery Of
such importance that its magnitude can at
present scarely be apprehended- Had it
been practiced earlier it would probaly
have saved innumerable lives. The writer
of this, although Of a weak and delicate
constitution, some years since went from
the North to some Of the most sickly por
tons of the S outh and West. He slept
on the banks of rivers and on the borders
ofswamps, by the sea and among the
mountains-and while many of the old
acclimated settlers were dying around him
ESPECIALLY in Norfolk, during the yellow
fever, he enjoyed his usual health-a fact
which he attributes to temperance, and
keeping his mouth closed.
This is the experience Of several noted
ravclers-Catlin, Lewis and Livingston.
The Indians also understood this we'll

one has ever yet beheld an Indian sleeping

discover one with his mouth open in sleep.
1t was through the nostrails that the
Creator 'blcw the breath of life into the

The principle seems to be, that air, by
passing through the delicate inner 6 land'

sTUE U NION-Now AND FOREVER
ny CIARIFs HENRY BROCK.

by CHARLES HENRY BROCK.
Hark bark it's the shout of the nation rings
And the soul Of her song like the ocean is swell.
On the dream
Of her night
Breaks beam
OF the light
And her weary, wan watchers of morning are tell
ing;
From the sea to the lakes
Every freeman awakes
To hail the bright morn of her might, as it breaks,
And shout by the banner that Treason forsakos-
"The Union-Now and Forever -
Long, long, was the night of her Wrong, but the
Right,
With the flashing of steel, like day.spring, hath
broken,
And its dawn
Shows the van
Marching on
To man,
To die in the call which the country hath spoken;
For that call now awakes
All the S as and the lakes, ....
To hail the bright morn of her might, as it breaks,
And shout bv the banner That treason forsakcs--
"The Union-Now and Forevcr!"
All! Time, tell it not that one freeman forgot,
For day, oran hour, the past's mighty story;
Ne'erimpart
That hand
Or heart
In the land.
Ever shrouded star in her azure of glory!
For the land now awakes
From her seas to her | kcs,
To hail the bright morn of her might as it breaks,
and shout by the banner that Treason forsakes-
"The Union-Now and Forcverr'
".
| o God! may that shout of the Nation ring out
Til the babe in the cradle its chorus shall fater;
Till the land
OF brave men
| Heart and hand
Joined again,
Shall swell but one hy mn, aro'nd one common altar
Till the hymn, as it wakes
| All .he seas and the lakes.
Shall rise to the dawnng of Peace rs it breaks
And breathe. by the banner no brother forsakes
The Union-now and forever!''

II is only those who have done nothing
who fancy they can do everything
Fear springs sometimes as we'll from
want Of Judgment as from want of cour-
age.
a WESTERN paper states that Horace
Grcely has returned from the foruording
business.
II ill-luck befaIl you, think that it may
be blessing to somebody else, and that
yonr turn may come next.
The only way to escape the importuni-
ties of beggars is to make yourself look
like one Of the brotherhood.
They say that justice isn't sold in our
courts--but those, who try to obtain it,
often are.
There is no form Of hypocrisy so dan
gerous rs that which assumes the mask Of
irankness, and it is the most common.
Talk Of fame and romoncc-al the
glory and adventure in the world are not
worth enc hour of domestic bliss.
Well may every act and every silent
thought, deep-hidden though it be, tend
TO the great hereafter.
WE like to see a noisy mountain brook
put its broad shoulders ever and anon to
the wheel of mill, and show that it can
labor as well as langh.
There are per. ons who are never abreast
Of the age; they dive into the str cam of
the past and never come up again-their
heads stick in the mud
1t may perhaps be thought difficult to
decide which is the more destructive--the
mortar in the battlefield or the mortar in
the drug-shop.
1t is very absurd 70 thing that the best
trial Of truth must be the multitude of
believers in crowd where the fools ore
to the wise men as ten to one.
SPEAKISG Of the times, Brown remark
ed that they were very unsettled "Un-
settled" remarked Snooks; "why, l
never saw such uniform days in my
life.
MEN of genius are often dull AMI inert
in society; as the blazing and brilliant
meteor when it decends to earth is but
stone.
DOMESTIC jars when concealed, are
half reconclcI. IT'S double task TO
stop the breach at homo and mems
mouths abroad.
MAuoMET undoubtedly understood how
to raise troops for his wars, and to make
them fight. He ordained that the soldier
who performed any single exploit in bat
tie should not be refused, during the ex-
petition, whatever his age or deformity,
kiss from any woman he chose to ask
The tree of liberty rears itself with in.
dependent grandeur. and graciously fills
the world with its odor, while its branches
streaming magnifcently toward heaven,
make it appear as if the stars were only
the golden fruit Of its wonderous limbs.
Some people keep their sterling worth
| in all changes Of fortune; Others, if chang
ed in condition, lose their character. Bars
of gold are less priced than diamonds, but
gold reduced to dust is valuable, while
diamond dust is worthless.

ORIGIN OF THE TERM "JoHN BULL. -
DR.. John Bull was the first Gresham
professor of music, ami orgainst and
composer to Queen Elizabeth. John,
like true Englshman, travelled for i'm
provement, and having heard of IA
nous musician of st. Omer's, he placed
himself under him as q novice; bnt cir
eumstance soon convinced the master that
he was inferior to the scholar. The mu-
sician showed John song, which he
composed, in forty partS--telling him at
the same time that he deied all the
world to produce a person capable of adj
ding another part to his composition
Bull desired to be left alone, and to be
INDUCED for short time with pen and
ink. In less than three hours, he added
forty parts more to the song. Upon
which the Frenchman was so surprised
that he swore in great ecstacy, he must
be either the Devil or John Bull; which
has ever since been proverbial in Eng
land.

1t is q proverb, old almost as our Ian
grage, that 'rhey who dance must pay
the piper" Our government is learning
this truth somewhat to its sorrow. Sec
retary Cameron, we are told, is quite dis
mayed to find that the cost of music, by
the regimental bands, is running up at a
rate that will amount to millions of dol
lars per annum. To appreciate the fear
fnl expense fully, it may be said that
what is now being paid for 'brass bands"
that play so nightly in dress parade>
and in "serenading" Generals, would
have supported the navy of the United
States as it stood a few years since.
Music is very good thing in its way,
but we cannot but believe that we are
having "too much of the good thing. -
Th re he's been far more swelling of checks
and obstrcperation of brazcn throated
t,umpets than is profitable. Jericho sur
rendered to the hast of rams horn
But our rebels do not yield to such per
sua>ionS. Nor should we expect them to-.
Shaks spcare knew the powerlesSueos OF

he tells us that

We have found the rebels exactly Of
this sort. We have "piped," but they
have not danced. They hear our notes.
but they utterly refuse to "kcep step to
the music of the Union" Therefore, let
us change. Draw ont the diopason, and
let the ordnance of battle mingle with the
silly clangor of cornotS. We have had
"quavers" enough in the army, and had
better return to first principles, known to
revolutionary soldiers in the drum and
fife. Fashionable music is full of "fu
gucs," which means fights and we >hoult
avoid aught that suggests the rapid time
made in the "iugue" at Bull Run.-Ncu
