An Eloquent Passage. =

The finest thing GEO. d. Prentice
ever wrote, is this inimitable passage:
at cannot be that earth is mans only
abiding place. 1t cannot be that our life
is bubble cast up by the ocean of eter-
nifty to float moment upon IFS waves.
and sink into nothingness. Else why is
it, the high and glorious aspirations
that leap like angels from the temple of
our hearts, are forever wandering unsat-
isfed? Why is it that the rainbow and
the cloud come over us with beauty
that is not of earth, and then pass off to
leave us to muse on their loveliness p
Why is it that the stars which hold their
festival around the midnight throne, are
set above the grasp of our limited facul-
ties; forever knocking us with their .un-
approachable glory? And, finally, why
is it that bright forms of human beauty
are presented to our view, and taken
from us; leaving the thousand streams
of our affections to flow back in an AL
pine torrent upon our hearts? We are
born for a higher destiny than that of
earth. There is a realm where the rain
bow never fades; where the stars will
spread out before us like the islands that
slumber on the ocean; and where the
beautiful beings which pass before us,
like shadows, will stay forever in our
presence.

The impeachment of the Pres
ideDI.

on Monday last, Jan. Z, the United
States House Of Representatives was the
scene of political action destined to be
forever memorable. Hon. JAS. NJ. ASH
LEY, Of Ohio, presented the following ar,
tiele Of impeachment and resolution,
which was adopted by the Unexpectedly
large vote Of loo ayes, and SO nays
do impeach Andrew Johnson. Vice Pres
i6eRt and acting President of the United
States, Of high crimes. misdemeanors.
charge him with the patton of power and
violation of law. IN that he mas corruptly
abused the appointing power in that he has
cOTTuptly disposed of the public property of
the United States: in that he has corruptly
interfered in the elections, and committed
acts, aud conspired with Others to commit acts
which are high crimes and misdemeanors
therefore be il
ResOlUed, That the committee on the Judi
ciary be and they are hereby authorized to
inquire into the official conduct of Andrew
johnson, Vice President, discharging the
power and duties Of President of the United
States, aad to report to this House whether i'm
their opinion the said Andrew johnson, while
IN said office, has been guilty of acts which
were designed or calculated to overthrow,
subvert or corrupt the government OF the U.
States. or any department or efice thereof;
and whether the said Andrew johnson has
been guilty of any act or has conspired with
Others to do acts, which in contemplation of
the committee. are high crimes and INSIDE
meanors. requiring the interpssition of the
constitutional power of this House and that
said committee have power to send for per-
sons and papers, and TO administer the custo-
mary Oaths to witnesses.
We do not believe Mr.. johnson will
be impeached, but al the moral effect of
impeachment is gained by the action al
ready taken. So terrible rebuke was
never administered to an American ruler
before.

Every year it happens, either by negli-
gence or accident, that some School Districts
in the county fail to hold their Annual School
Meeting at the time prescribed by law and
in consequence of such neglect, their pro-
ceedings are Illegal, and such districts power
less to raise money for the support of schools.
The question arises, What is the remedy
in such instances ?"
From correspondence with the State SUI
pe.intendent of Public instruction, and also
from the Commentary on the School Code, 1
am able to state the following conclufions
/. That failure to hold an Annual Meet
ing does not disorganize School District.
2. That the officer who ought to have
been elected. may be appointed by the other
members of the Board, ii done within TWEEN
ty days after the time the meeting should
have been held, and if not done within that
time, the Town Clerk can appoint and
special meeting may be called at any time to
transact the business that should have been
transacted at the Annual Meeting.

The County Officers.

The new county officers are now "run.
ming the machine" Mr.. Williams takes
the Treasurer's Office, in place of G., w.
Cairns, Deputy under Mr.. Winchester
The county has never had more faith
ful officer than Mr.. Cairns, and the treas
ury was never safer than in his bands
We believe Mr.. Williams will leave a
like good record when he leaves the Of
fee.
John w. Winn stays in the clerks of
flee, according to the decided instructions
of the people last fall.
G. w. Brown is in the Office of Regis
ter of Deeds and Clerk of the Court, liz
the place of l.. L. Lewis. IfMr. Brown
does not prove a very capable, popular
and obliging officer, this Family Paper
may be considered unreliable authority.
In the Sheriff's office, Mr.. Guitteau
takes the place of Mr.. Walsiugham, and
he will be as efficient a Sheriff as the
county has ever had.
Messrs. Converse and Holt leave the
Board of Supervisors, and Jehn A. Stir
raft and FL. P. Ames take their Places
If the new Board shall leave the finan
cial affairs of the county in as good con-
dition as they find them, they will merit
and receive the confidence and gratitude
of the people.

The miners at Lake Vermillion held a sort
of festival on Christmas day. From re-
port in the st. Paul Pioneer, we clip the fol-
lowing remarks made by D. N. LUsK, for
merly of this city:
Dinner over, a meeting was organized by
calling Mr.. Mayhem TO the chair, and APP
pointing Mr.. Lusk Secretary. The pyelimi-
naries of the meeting having been arranged,
Mr.. Lusk proceeded to address the meeting
upon the present and future prospects of Yer.
million. He spoke Of the flattering prospects
before them of the question as TO whether
VermiiliOn was mineral region or not, hav-
ing been clearly and satisfactorily settled !:
that all doubt as to the richness of its quartz
veins was removed, especially amoEg- those
who had made themselves familiar with the
country, and predicted that in a very few
years thriving villages of industrious miners
W ould be scattered along the snores of these
lakes, and steamboats, ploughing their blue
waters. He also referred to the immense ad-
vantages which Minnesota must derive from
this discovery, and declared it to be bis firm
conviction that before the return Of another
Christmas day this region Of country would
be as popular mineral country as any with
in the borders Of the United States.

A Caution.

Ed. JOURNAL :-In these days of thieTing,
while one of our grocery firms lost in the
short time of one year, six hundred and forty
dollars of the original capital and the entire
profits of over twenty-five thousand dollars
worth of goods sold, would it not be wise in
our City Aldermen to look after rat holes, and
see what has becme of the license money re-
ceived for shows, circuses, street gamblers,
stone, DC.
1t is a safe calculation to make, that the
man who viii engage in passing counterfeit
money. and sell screenings that belong to
Others, and appropriate the money to his own
use, needs looking after. Would it not be
wise in our City Aldermen to have an inves-
tigatiOn2 would suggest that committee
be appointed for that purpose, and that j. ".
Beardsley and o. T. Richmond be that COM
mittee.

The first newspaper published above
Prairie du Chen, on the eastern side oil
the river, was in this place. 1t was the
St. Croix Banner, the first number OF
which was issued on the Goth dav OF
January, 1850, just II years ago. Col
Hughes, of this city, was editor and
proprietor, but was assisted ia his edito-
rial duties by Mrs. E. Hughes. In pol
itics, the Banner was wing, of the Hen
ry Clay order. 1t was small six col
umn paper. 1t was published but a
short time.
In the Same year, Messrs. Sexton &
Johnson commenced the publication of
the st. Croix Inquirer. This, too, was
very small sheet, only five columns in
size.
Next followed the Hudson Journal,
started by U. B. Shaver, in 1858. 1t
was six column paper, democratic in
politics. Col. Hughes afterwards be-
came proprietor, changed its politics, and
continued its publication until it was des-
troyed by fire in 1854.
Next came the North Star, owned by
DIR. Hoyt, with U. B. Shaver, as editor.
The first number was issued in the fall Of
1854. After short time, Mr.. Shaver
retired and was succeeded as editor by
Edwin Thing, who was also succeeded,
after a short time by E. r. Otis. The
Star was strongly democratic, and a
spirited and excellent local paper. In
August, 1856, Col. Hughes started the
Shield and Banner, a republican paper.
It's name was afterwards changed to
The Pathfinder, and it was published as
campaign paper.
Next came the Hudson Chronicle, a
republican paper, published by Beal &
Wilson, assisted by Hall d Brother
Hall d. Brother and Wilson retired,
and Frank Daggett became associated
with Beal as editor and one of the pub
fishers. After a short time Mr.. Daggett
retired, leaving Mr.. Beale sole publisher,
who engaged DR.. l. N. Van Slyke as
editor. DR.. Van Slyke WAS succeeded
by James Densmore, who was connected
With it few months.
In July, 1860, the Chronicle was sold
to H. A. Taylor, who changed its name to
the Hudson CITY Times. In the Sep
tember following Il. S. Seymour pur-
chased an interest in the Times. and was
one of its publishers until Jan. LIST, 1864,
when he retired, Mr.. Taylor remaining
proprietor.
The North Star changed proprietors
several times. 1t went from DIR. Hoyts
hands into j. D. Regiments possession,
and was purchased from hun by Clewell
d Elweil, in the fall of 1857. In Oct,
1860, Mr.. Clewell sold out his interest
to S. s. Starr, but purchased it back two
years subsequent, and soon afterwards
purchased Mr.. Elwel's Interest.
In Sept, 1864, the Hudson North
Star, owned by S. A. Clcwell, and the
Hudson City Times, owned by H. A.
Taylor, were consolidated, under the
name Of the Hudson Star and TgmeA
H. a. Taylor & Co. proprietors, under
which name and proprietorship it is now
published.
The Star and Times office was totally
destroyed by fire on the 10th of May,
1865, but was Immediately replaced BY
a much larger office, and the paper en-
larged TO an eighth column sheet, its
present dimensions.-.St Star and Times.

A CITIZEN.


TIE LATEST FAsHIoNs.-Since the inven-
ton and successful introduction of the Cele-
brated Duplex Elliptic (or doHble) Spring
Hoop Skirt, by Mr.. ]. W. Bradley, of New
York, the ladies throughout the country have
given up the idea of discarding the fashion of
wearing hoop skirts on account of the pecu-
liar and graceful manner in which the Duplex
Skirts adapt themselves TO every exigency
and emergency. So generally acceptable
have these Skirts become THAI the ladies re-
gard them as a special favorite, in view of
the superior Flexibility. Lightness and Du-
Tability combined in their manufacture
They also consider them as far more Econ
omical and Comfortable Hoop Skirt than ever
has or can be made for all Crowded Assem-
blIes, for the Promenade or House Dress
ANY lady after wearing one of these Skirts
will never afterwards willingly dispense with
their USE Long experience in the manufac-
ture of Hoop Skirts, has proven to the pro-
prietOrs of this invention, that Single springs
viii always retain that stiff. unyielding and
bungling style which has ever characterised
them, whereas the Double Spring Hoop or
the Duplex Elliptic, will be found free from
these objections. Notwithstanding the abili-
ty of the manufacturers, Messrs. Vests, Brad
ley and Cary, to turn out over six thousand
Skirts per day com their Large Monufacto-
ries in New York, they feel obliged to re-
quest all merchants ordering the Duplex Ell
iptic Skirts, to send their orders few days
before they are wanted, if possible. as they
are most constantly oversold some days
ahead.

NATURE.-GoD.-MAN.

There must always be an outward symbol
to realize an Invisible Idea. Cor himself,
would be nothing 70 as, if it were not for the
creation which is the great symbol and sacra-
ment OF His presence. The creation gives us
Con. Forever real in himself, by creation he
becomes fact to us. The world is but MAN.
ifested Deity; Con shown to eye. and ear, and
sense.
This strange phenomenon of world, what
is it 2 All that we know of it--all that we
know of matter, is, that it is an assemblage
of powers which produce in us certain sensa-
lions, but what those powers are in them
selves, we know not The sensations of color,
form, and weight, we have; bnt what is it that
gives those sensations,-in the language of
the schools, what is the substratum which
supports the accidents or qualities of Being
We cannot tell. Positive philosophy re-
plies, What the Being of the world is, we
cannot tell; we only know what it seems to us
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, beyond this we
cannot reach. Being itself is, and forever
must be, unknowable." Speculative philos-
ophy answers. ''It is but our own selves be-
becoming concious of themselves. We, in our
own being, are the cause of all phenomena
But neither of these sayings settles the
matter. They leave us where we were be-
FORE That which lies beneath the surface of
all appearance-the cause of all manifestation
the great unnameable and unthinkable
Fact, behind which we cannot go,-we call
Gen. The sounds and sights of this beautiful
world are but the drapery OF the robe in
which the INVISIBLE has clothed himself.
Have you ever stood beneath the solemn
vault of heaven, when the stars were looking
down in their silent splendor, and not felt an
overpowering sense of His Eternity 2 When
the white lightning has quivered in the sky,
has that told us nothing of Power, or only
something of electricity 2
o, to the eye that can see-to the heart that
is not paralyzed, GoD is here. The world is
the glass through which we see the Maker
But what meE do, is this; they pnt the quick
silver of their own selfshness behind the
glass, and so it becomes not the transparent
medium through which GoD shines, but the
dead opaque which reflects back themselves.
Therefore the world gives us back our own
false feelings and natures; therefore it brings
forth thorns and thistles; therefore the light
ming burns with wrath, and the thunder NUT
tiers vengeance. BY all which it comes to pass,
that the very manifestation of Con has trans
formed itself, and that men go about haunted
by the shadow of themselves, mistaking it for
the shadow of Cop.

NEARNEss ON DEATH When we
walk near powerful machinery. we know
that one single misstep, and those mighty
engines will tear us to ribbons with their
flying wheels, or grind us to powder in
their ponderous jaws. So when we are
thunderins across the land in a rail car,
and there is nothing but an inch of iron
flange to hold us on the track. So
when we arc on a ship, and there is
nothing between us and eternity. We
imagine, then, that we see how close we
are to the precipice. But we do not see
il. Whether on the sea or on the land,
the partition that divides us from eterni-
ty is something less than the oak plank,
of half an inch of iron fange. The
machinery of life and death is within
US. The tissues that hold the beating
powers in their places are often not thick
er than a sheet Of paper, and if that thin
partition rupture, it would be the same
with us as if cannon ball struck U.S.
Death is inseperably bound up with life
in the very structure of our bodies =
Struggle as he would to widen the space,
no man can at any time, go farther from
death than the thickness of thin sheet
of paper.
