Grand Colonization Scheme OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad.

Tho Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany are about TO inaugurate by far the
most magnificent scheme of colonization
in connection with the construction Of
their line, and with view. to the devel-
opnent of the country along its route,
which was ever attempted in the history
of railroad enterprises.
Congress has granted to this company
every alternate section of land in belt
Of forty miles wide, or twenty miles on
each side of its line, amounting to forty
sections of land per mile-in all between
thirty and forty million acres Of land-a
territory greater in extent than all New
England. The company having made
arrangements with German capitalists for
all the means necessary to the prosecu.
scale for which laborers can be procured,
are now making arrangements to invite
immigrant laborers from all parts of Eu-
rope or such terms and with such novel
inducements as will ensure both an album
dant supply of laborers and the rapid
settlement of the lands adjacent to their
line of road.
They offer in the first place to furnish
immigrants for the first year or two
abundant labor in the construction of the
road itself; and to provide each laborer
at the end of, or during his tern of SER
vice, or any immigrant who does not
choose to labor for the company, farm
of 40. 80 or leo acres selected in alter.
nate blocks, with neat frame tenement
already erected thereon and with mod
crate field fenced in at the expense of the
company, ito have and to hold the same

tanning as the deed runs, on terms
which will barely cover the outlay, pay.
ment being required in such small INSTALL
ments, running through a long period of
years, at very low rate of interest, as
will be no burden to the poorest man in
the world. T..
With the wages received for labor in
the construction of the road they can
readily furnish and stock these ready
made farms. In other words, they pro
pose to give laborers at once home and
productive farm. which, under ordina-
ry circumstances, it costs him years of
toll TO make, on terms equivalent to a
loan of so much capital on bis own
terms.
To secure the minimum of cheapness
with the maximum of utility in these
tsnements, the company have underta.
ken to construct them in immense mum
bers on the principle os uniformity Of
pattern. like a Springfield rifle or Walt,
ham watch, SO that each piece of any one
structure will fit into the corresponding
piece of any other, and they are thus tc
be shipped all ready to be put up along
the line Of the road as rapidly as its con
struction advances. The cost of these
frame tenements will thus be FIR less
than the cost of any ordinary log house,
while they will be far more comfortable
The scheme. contemplates the erection OF
many thousands Of these tenements, anc

ands of European laborers, who are
thus invited to leave life of hopeless
poverty and squalor, to become the own

it is well TO keep constantly and carefully
in mind the radical difference between
religion and theology. Religion, in its
higher sense, is recognition of the
fatherhood Of God and the brotherhood
of Man, and cordial love Of soth.-'
Theology is mans opinions or emotions
concerning God, the angels, the proph-
cts, the future. Theology is what =
man thinks; religion is what man does,
or feels what he ought to do. Religion
is conduct; theology is belief. In relig-
ion. men mainly agree; in theology, they
universally differ, if they are independent
to think at all.
Religion ought to be taught in schools,
and it is; theology ought never to be
allowed to put its foot within the pre-
cincts built and supported by the public
fund. Religion can not be kept out of
schools; it comes gratefully in every
moral precept, in every page of Just
counsel, in every lesson of virtue in tire
reading book. whether chosen from
Christian or Pagan pen-from the New
York Observer, the Talmud or the Zend
Avesta, from William Pitt, Coufucius.
Epictetus, or Henry Ward Beecher. A
common school room, well managed, is

their children taught the dogmcs of any
particular creed, let them pay for it extra

A Murderer's Mistake.

The Cologne Gozette relates horrid
story as enacted at Schrimm, in the gov
eminent of Posen. A country girl, liy-
ing not far from that place, had received
her inheritance of 800 thalers from the
authorities there. On her return home
she spent the night in village; having
no residence there, she took refuge at the
house of the village justice, to whom, in
virtue of his position, she gave her whole
confidence, and informed him of the OBJ
ject of her journey. He was ready to
take her in, and asked her to 60 to bed
with his wife. When all lay in deep
sleep, the covetous host got up, went
into the garden and dug hole therc.-
He then took sharp knife, went up to
the bed where the two wers asleep, and
with steady hand cut the throat of the
person lying furthest from the wall, took
up his victim and buried her in the gar,
den, When be cape back he found the
bed empty. He had murdered his own
wife instead of the stranger. The wife
lay close to the wall during the evening,
but had afterwards moved to the outer
side of the bed. The girl bad got out
of bed after the murder, aud FASTENED
away with her money. ~

The question IS, how much does the
town owe the agent, if anything, or how
much does the agent owe the town?
Prof. Quimby said this was the actual
state of the accounts of l;quor agent of
New England town, and that a law
suit had grown out of the dispute upon
the question as to which side was indebt-
ed to the other, and also as to the amount
OF Indebtedness. s sF9 $50 &
A whole day was given to the teachers
at Nashau to cipher out the true answer.
Al the end of that time only two or three
out of seventy-five teachers present gave
the true answer. Rs

way from the town owing the agent 81 to
the agent owing the town So.

THE extensive use of these WATCHES for
tho last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,

More than 100000 of these watches are

superiority over all others.
The superior org rganzation and great extent
of the Company's Works at Waltham, enable
them to producc watches at a price which

80 per cent. moro for their watches than is

nearly every invention in watch ma ling orisi-
