Harlan Page, junior editor of the State
Journal, Madison, has been spending day
or two in Prairie iu Chen here is what
he says Of it:
We spent quiet Sunday at the Dous-
man House, kept by Williams Fox. in a
style that makes it confessedly the. best
hotel on the Upper Mississippi, and one Of
the best Railway Hotels in the country
1t is admirably arranged and pleasantly
ly located close to the railroad, and com
manding fine view both of the river and
city. Everything about it is kept in good
order, and the fare is excellent. Mr.. Viii
liams, who superintends the hotel himself,
and Mr.. Powell, the clerk, who is one of
the most attentive, courteous, and withal
unassuming hotel men we ever met, gave
us the best the house afforded and were
specially attentive to our comfort. We
take great pleasure in recommending their
house to all travellers who have never stop
ped there. Those who have enjoyed its
comforts will do SO again whenever they
have an opportunity.

Essex, Mass, has little girl three years
old who plays over two hundred pieces on
the piano.-Erchange.
At a Sunday School celebration on Long
Island lately, prizes were given to those
children who recited from memory the
greatest number Of bible verses. Of
course imnemonic performances were many
and varied, and were all accounted won
derful by the listening parents of the prodi
gies. The achievement of one infant
phenomeon is recalled to mind by the item
above quoted. A little pale faced girl Of
only four years old, actually gabbled off
one hundred and eleven verses of St.
Marks Gospel. Did the mother of the
two hundred tune girl, or of the one hum
bred and eleven verse martyr ever suspect
that these children are being slowly, per-
haps, but none the less surely, murdred
by the stupid, criminal vanity Of their
dot,ng parents? If these two unhappy
babies are not soon turned out of doors to
wade in the mud-puddles, and play with
the pigs, tunes and texts will speedily have
done their perfect work, and the children
will be taking their last sleep under the
roots Of the clover and the dasics.

BURIED THEORIES letter of Thad-
deus Stevens, insisting that the last amend
ment to the federal constitution bestows on
Congress the right to make election-laws
for every state in the Union, meets with
little favor even at the hands of his politi-
cal friends. They smile at its absurdity
and laugh at its perversion Of historical
facts. Mr.. Stevens proposes exactly what
the "federalists'' of the olden time want
ed, to make this grand empire and the
several states merely territories under its
absolute rule. The ''federalists'' became
the obloquy of the nation, and Mr.. Ste
yens will fare no better in resurrecting the
ghosts of their exploded fallacies in the
theory Of government.

Latest.
The officials in the treasury department
are expecting an assault upon the national
banking system when congress gets fairly
at work on the duties of the session. There
is some talk among them that the banks
used as repositories of public money will
receive the fercest attacks. Latest des-
patches from Washington say Secretary
McCulloch does not intend to issue at pres
ent the remaining So, 100000 of the 10
40 bonds. The foreign demand for these
bonds has caused the agitation of the ques-
ton of issuing the full amount authorized
by law......From the members of congress
who have been here recently, and others
now in the city, it appears that there is
strong probability that the tax on cotton
will be repealed shortly after congress
convenes. The pressure in faver of this
repeal from all portions of the north,
from influential citizens, is almost ire
sistble. From the same sources, it is
learned that there IS also powerful infu-
ence in favor Of a general funding scheme,
covering the whole national debt, thus ex-
tending the time of the payment of our
