Our New Possessions.

Already are Secretary Seward S
representations in regard to our new
possessions being verified. Hardly
six months have passed since Russian
America was acquired, and yet enter
prises of every character are springing
up in that country, which promise to
develop a vast and most valuable
Pacific trade for the United States.
Building lots have advanced several
hundred dollars in. price at New
Archangel and Sitka, in anticipation
of large flow of emigration thither
Numerous parties are organizing in
California to proceed to Russian
America to reap the wealth afforded
In her gold, copper and coal mines,
fur trade and fisheries Ship build
ers on Puget Sound expect and are
Spring, and United States navy yard
is to be located on Cambridge Island.
The climate at New Archangel is de-
scribed as being delightful, and all
kinds of vegetables are raised there.
So far as can be ascertained, the in
habitants of Russian America, with
the exception of the Indians, are
pleased with the transfer of the coun-
try, and express themselves as being
glad at being included in Uncle Sam 5
dominions. Before the lapse of many
months, there will doubtless be a
regular line of vessels plying between
San francisco and various points on
the Russian coast. And we shall in
time witness a growth and civilization
upon the Pacific coast surprising the
most sanguine expectations. - r Z

RECOMMENDATION Commenced.

The result of the preliminary voting
IN Louisiana and Alabama is that In
both States conventions have prob
ably been ordered to be held under
the terms and upon the conditions
prescribed by the Reconstruction acts
of Congress. The strategy of the
enemy, we trust, has failed. The pre-
liminary vote was on the question OF
convention or no convention, and for
the election of delegates to the con-
vention in case majority of the reg
lstered voters called it.
The rebels did not go near the polls,
and gave no sign of contest. The re-
suit in New Orleans was that less
than one-half of the persons regis
tered voted, but it seems probable that
enough turned out in the country pre-
cincts to make the requisite majority
of the whole registration. The Union
men seemed TO have been ignorant or
asleep to the fact that non -roting was
the most efhcacious means Of defeat
ing reconstruction. In Alabama af-
fairs were managed better, and the
result is, as indicated by the returns
received, that the State has voted for
a Convention by a decided majority.
The first step has therefore been
taken in both States Reconstruction
has taken root in Alabama and Lou
isiana, and will be cultivated until
there is full fruition. In each of
these States there will be held, within
as short time as possible, Conven-
ton. 14-st r-r
The country has reason to rejoice
at the promise Of speedy and final
conclusion of the great work of re-
construction. Up to this time the
President has kept the business from
the hands of the people most inter
ested in it. He has. baffled all the
efforts Of Congress to bring order out
of chaos. But, in spite of him, the
work has at last reached the hands of
the people, and it cannot now be ar
rested By any act of his The plan of
reconstruction once put into practical
operation by the people will vindicate
its wisdom and the popular enthusi-
asm in its favor will sweep the dis
contented rebels, outlaws and their
friends and partisans from all vestige
of power and influence. The States
will be restored, will be redeemed,
will be made free and republican, and
will be firm upholders and defenders
of the Union instead of its worst en-
emies

Jefferson Davis In Canada.

The latest report concerning this
noted person states that he is about
taking up hie residence IN Toronto.
He has. for some months been q resi-
dent of Montreal, and the idea has
become current that he was living
like a retired monarch, scourted by
the Canadians, and worshipped by
those who followed his fortunes and
left their country for their. country s
good" The truth is that Davis has
for some months occupied an inferior
house in Montreal, and his presence
In that city is matter of total indif-
ference TO a majority of those who
live there. That he is not surround

is not seen at the St. Lawrence Ho-
tel. where his presence creates no
more excitement than that of any
other. person who drops in to, hear
the news and see what is going on.
His departure from Montreal will
cause no regret, and his presence in
Toronto viii cause a nine days talk
when he will be dropped. Aaron

man had ever had an existence, and

in his footsteps.-Boston Journal, 18th

CALIFORNIA WHEAT.-No State in
the Union, according to its popula-
ton, produces-as many bushels of
wheat as California The estimated
yield for 1866 is twelve million bush
els, or thirty bushels for each inhabi-
tant, counting cur population at 400
600. The amount required for home
consumption, including seed, is 1891, :
666 bushels, leaving s, 20S,334 bushels
for export. OF this. surplus, $780,
666 bushels have already been ex-
ported and sold to- shippers at an
average price of ST 05 per bushel,
making total of S7,262. 1919. At this
rate the value of the -entire crop
would be So 600 600, or $31 80 worth
of wheat for each man, woman and
child in the State. The entire wheat
crop of the United States and Terri
tories for 1866 was less than two hun
dred million bushels, or about six
bushels for each person. The pro.
portion of our populationto that of
the entire Union is as one to seventy
eight, while our State raises over one
sixteenth of the total wheat crop of
the country-Nevada Gazette.

How 1t Feels to Have the Yellow
Fever.

from the New Orleans Bulletin.l
The following was written by yell
low fever patient on the fifth day af-
ter being taken sick; the labor of
writing it cost relapse, which came
very near costing his life:
The writer of this has had
glimpse of purgatory, and the way it
ca me to pass was this; Tuesday morn
ing, Yellow Jack, so called, intro
duced himself unceremoniously and
at once proceeded to break every bone
in this poor subjects body. He was
left helpless and Frustrated. Now APP
peared an army of little devils, who
commenced prowling, prodding and
digging to satisfy themselves that not
a bone was left unbToken. But, in
spite of all the devils, the skull re-
manned unbroken. They made de-
tail TO keep continually beating the
subject on the top of the head and
downwards towards the neck. Then
they had kind of Greek fire, which
at regular intervals they poured
down the spine of the subject.
Having arranged oil these prelimi-
naries, they, of course, thought they
had him dead. Now they commenced
curious game ;all would whirl round,
then stop all of q sudden and play
with some strange devices, that were
neither cards nor dice, yet something
OF the sort. The subject watched
this game with intense interest; so
much go that he almost forgot his
broken bones and -unhinged joints.
Thus his mind and the spirits and the
game went spinning along together
till about dark, when a servant enter
ed and asked if1the subject was sick.
He rather thought be was
a delegation of neighbors now
crowded around the bed to learn how
the sick man felt. He endeavored
briefly to convey some idea of his
feelings. One of those present asked
if he would take preparation to
check the fever. He answered he
might, provided it was neither Gallo
mel nor quinine. No, it was homeo-
pathic remedy. Well, the subject
had no objection. Soon after ply
stefan made his appearance, looked
rather serious, gave his instructions,
told the subject to quench his thirst
with almost any decent drink. Now,
he happened to be always thirsty,
tried citrate or magneSla tor while,
but soon grew disguised with it, then
|. tried lemonade, but with no better
sue cess. The novel idea struck him
to try pure cold water, and it turned
out to be exactly the thing.
|is The physician continued his visits,
and would announce from day to day
with a curious air that the patient was
better. In the meantime, when not
interrupted, thesubject and the spirits
and the curious. game played by the
latter went swimming along together,
as much so as on the first day, but
gradually the host grew smaller; some
of the spirits seemed to have urgent
Blu alness elsewhere, others Jagged, and
all that ran around grew more and
more careless. But just in exact pro-
portion the subject grew more and
more powerfully weak. Thursday
morning he was all powerfully weaker:
the spirits had all left but two. one
rrested on each eyelid. With a kick

bed cover, landed on the floor. and
