A Washington correspondent of the
New York Times has the following des-
cription of Senator Carpenter
In chair No. AZ may be seen, when moi
taking his happy stroll up and down the
Chamber, or discussing a favorite Havana
in the ante-room, Matt I'll. Carpenter, one
of the Senators from Wisconsin and the
Daniel Webster of the west. He is a
genial good fellow, aud you may go your
bottom ducat on him. He has the slouchy
manner of Webster. and not unlike Rufus
Choate-with whom, believe, he once
read lawn his flights Of eloquence. He
is fine orator-the best speaker in the
Senate at the present time. He speaks to
his audience, and not to the press; hence
he never reads speech. Matt Carpenter
is the coming man of the Northwest.
We do not doubt the above. Senator
Carpenter is very able man. He is in
tellectual, ambitions, csnfdent, lazy,
spirited, and on close call. democrat. He
beat set of rats in Wisconsin for the
Senatorship, and he now holds "the situa.
ton" His late independent course in
reconstruction debates has soured his
radical allies, and it will not be long be.

as their sins deserve.

Population Of the World.

Population Of the World.
There are on the globe about 1885,
100000 of souls, Of which $50, 900 900
are of the Caucasian race $4,000 900
are Of the Mongol race; 10000, 900
are of the Ethiopian race; 5000 900
are of the Malay race 600, 900 are of
the Indo-American race.
There are 3,642 languages spoken,
and 1000 different religions.
The yearly mortality of the globe is
1913 1888 1888 persons. This is at the
rate of 81 ,554 per day, $3.50 per hour,
80, per minute. So each pulsation of
our heart marks the decease of some
human creature.
The average of human life is 33 years.
One fourth of the population dies at or
before the age of seven years.
One half at or before II years.
Among 10000 persons one arrives at
the age of 100 years, one in 500 the age
of 80, one 100 lives to the age of 60.
Married men live longer than single
ones. In 1000 persons $50 marry, and
more marriages occur in June and De-
cember than in any other month of the
year. aa<
One eighth Of the whole population
is military.
Professions exercise great influence
on longevity. In one thousand individ-
uals who arrive at the the age ofseventy
it appears, AZ are priests, orators or
public speakers, 40 agriculturists, 33 are
workmen, 80 soldiers or military en-
ployes, 20 advocates or engineers, ~
professors, and "a doctors. Those who
devote their lives to the prolongation of
others die soonest.
There are 335, 900, 900 Christians.

Mrs. Nancy j. Baker, of Amboy,
Mich, who has been East upon sup
posed elopement with Edwin Elmwood
of the same town, recently returned to
the bed and board of her afflicted hus-
band, and declared that it was not of
her own free will and accord that she
went; that Elmwood, with horse and
carriage, met her in the road one day,
and compelled her, under cover of re-
volver, to get into the carriage, and
afterward, under fear of death, made
her go to Livingston county, N. Y,
where he introduced her to his friends
as his wife, living with her as her hus-
band, and evinced his affection for her
by deciding to her his farm in Amboy !;
that he cautioned her, however, that if
she attempted to escape he would kill
her that she not liking the situation,
had found means to escape, and had
come home to again taste the sweets of
legitimate domesticity.

Her Ma.

Her Ma.
A curious scene was recently enacted
at the Union Depot. A young, newly
married couple, from neighboring
city, came in on the train from Chicago,
their destination being Minneapolis.
Form the young mans story, it was
learned that he was married in Chicago
and went up in the vicinity of Mime
apolis, where he worked in a mill. A
few weeks ago the two went to Chicago
to visit the girls parents, and having
paid their visit, were now going back to
their home. While sitting in the ladies'
room of the depot, the wife went to the
ticket Office and asked if there was an
other train for Chicago that night.
Being told that there was, she turned
to her husband and said, slim, you can
60 to that wooden country, if you want
to, I'm going back to Chicago tonight"
The poor husband was thunderstruck
at this intelligence, and asked his wife
what she meant, but she vouchsafed no
reply save this: "You go your way to
the North, Jim, and I'll go back to
Chicago" Poor Jim's eyes began to
fill with tears, and taking his better
half one side, he talked in a very low
tone, and evidently pleaded his case
earnestly; but the shake of the head
aud the occasional sniff1e of the wife
showed that she had made up her mind
and would act accordingly. After Jim
had tearfully pleaded some time, she
turned to him and said, with just a
little spite: at amt no use,~Jim, I've
got sick of this thing, and it might
just as well be now as any time. Pm
going home, and you may go where you
please"
"But. Susan, only see how it looks"
II don't care how it looks-I'm sick
of it, and I'm sick of you, too, Jim I'm
going back to my mother, and you'd
better 60 on. Come, the train is going,
and all your baggage is on it. Good
bye, Jim.
Jim was not going off in any such
way as that. Never mind what had be-
come of the baggage. He had before
only shed tears, but now he sobbed in
downright earnest and really seemed to
take the matter much to heart. The
wife called him a BOBBY and fool, but
in spite Of all that, Jim kept On crying,
and chung to his wife until the night
train was ready to move off and then
went on board, the last heard from him
being a sob and a pleading entreaty
that Susan would give up the foolish
notion in her head, and go to Minnesota
with him. Some of the lookers-on
pitied him very much, while others
laughed over his misfortunes, and really
felt that he was as great BOBBY as his
Susan pronounced him.-Milwaukee

DON'T STAY LATE TONIGHT.

With rays Of rosy light; q
And lovely eyes are cleaning, Il
As falls the shades of night; I'll
And while my steps are leaving
The circle pure and bright, t s
A tender voice, half grievirg,
Says, Don't stay late tonight
The world in which thou movost
Il busy. brave, and wide;
The world of her thou lowest
Is on the ingle side.
She waits for thy warm greeting;
Thy smile is her delight;
Her gentle voice entreating,
Says, "Don't stay late tonight
The world Is cold, inhuman,
Will spurn thee in thy fall;
The lore of one pure woman
Outlasts and shames them all.
Thy children will cling round thee,
Let fate be dark or bright;
At home no shaft will wound thee,
Then. Don't stay late to night"

The State Prison No. 9.

Joseph, of the Clayton Co. Journal, re.
Dodge, through its Common Council,
memorialized the Iowa Assembly to locate
the proposed No. 2 State prison at TT.
Dodge. Joseph was requested, by some
one at the Fort, to publish. He objects
because he is opposed to the dodge as a
location and because furthermore he
hasn't space in the columns of the Jour
nal. He closes by urging McGregor as
the proper point and yields the "6oor" to
Gov. Cue, of the North West. The Gov.
good-naturedly responds as follows:
We have not published the IN emorial
either. and for precisely the same reasons
given by Bro. Eiboeck, and the following
in addition:
LIST. If the State should give us the
Penitentlary, we haye no earthly use for
it, and should have to import from the
South and East, at a heavy expense, a
suitable population to inhablt it.
I'd. We do not consider population
OF that class desirable; We prefer the
homestead settlers, thrifty farmers, and
good mechanics, all of whom will build
their own habitatoHs without expense to
the State.
The inmates of penitentary are
WORKED by cempulsiop, indirect competi-
ton with oui own mechanics, reducing
the cost of their products to a ruinously
low price, creating an unnatural compe>
tition On basis of slave labor against
W I..h Iolo oo,
support his family.
We prefer the free labor system, and
class of men. women and children who
perform it, to the society of prison con
victs, or any imaginary benefits to be
derived from locating them among us.
That IS our say.
This peniteatiary question is exciting
more talk than thought. From the Ian.
guage Of the North Vest it can readily be
seen that there are two ways to look at it.
Its profit or loss to us is worth a debate
Notwithstanding the determined cim with
which it is advocated by many and the
expressed fears of few as to its injurious
effect upon our future business, as well as
Jul SiCy ACpueuIlOu. We ucltUeT nope
for its location here nor fear its location
elsewhere ut present. The Senate NAV
vote heavy appropriations, for improve
ments in public buildings, Normal schools,
Insane Asylums, Prisons, &C., but the
House will see the Importance of adhering
in these times Of financial closeness and
heavy taxation, to a most rigid economy.
1t is scarcely worth our while to sweat
about those things which are scarcely to
be either reached or lost at the present
session. Senator Newell introduced bill |
for the establishment of Normal School
at McGregor. He is the introducer of the
penitentiary bill also. By asking too
much we will lose all. Speaking without
fear or favor We say, emphatically, Iowa
is not out of debt and her people are al |
ready taxed to the verge Can't we wait
We waive home interests for the general
good. Add nearly one million of dollars
to the debt of Iowa for such improvements
as we can dispense with and the advocates
of such policy will not be approved by
the peopls.
