Social HoNon.-Evory person
should cultivate II nice sonso Of
honor. In II hundred different
ways this most fitting adjunct Of
the true lady or gentleman is oftcn
tried. For instance, ono is q guest
in family where, porhaps, tho
domestic machinery docs not run
smoothly. There is sorrow in the
house unsuspected by tho outer
world. Sometimes it is II dissipa-
ted son whose conduct is u shame
and a grief to his parents, some.
times q relative whose ccccntrici-
ties and pcculiaritics are II cloud
on the homo. Or, worst Of all,
husband and wife may not bo in
accord, and there may be often
bitter words spoken, and harsh
rccriminations. In any OF those
cases the guest is in honor bound
to be blind and deaf, so far as poo
pie without arc concerned. If Il
gentlo word within can do good,

and meanness almost unparalleled.

sharing it's lifo, oil that you see

is richer in fht-producing element
than any other grain, and conse,

would not advise tho farmer to
make it the leading crop to tho OK

The Funding Bill.

1t is difficult TO discover any reasona-
BILE ground upon which TO base an OBJ
lection to the passage Of funding bill.
When the first portion Of the public debt
was contracted and provided for by the
issue OF the tive-twenty bonds, and later
when the debt was swelled in its dimen-
sions, aud provided fol by the issue of
seven-thirties and ten-iorlies, the rate OF
interest was unavoidably high. The cred
il OF the nation was seriously affected,
aud money could be obtained, either at
home or abroad, only at high rate Of
interest. But the argument was freely
used that the bonds We're so framed as 10
admit of their redemption at an early
day, and new issue at lower interest
substituted. The national credit is now
restored, and capitalists stand ready tc
buy government bonds at a aud 8 PEI
cent. interest. The Secretary OF the
Treasury feels justified in saying that h'
can fund the debt at The lower figure
just as fast as the bonds can be called in

THE NINTH CENsUs-Thcre seems TO be
general disappointment and regret over the
fate of the Censns Bill In the Senate. TIE bill
had been prepared with great care and labor,
and the information which its provisions re-
quired and which were to be given to the
country in clear and concise tabular form, was
such MS WINS demanded The bill and It's pro-
visions had received the continued and able
attention Of the Representative of this district,
and so closely had he become identified with
It, as to be considered its originator and parent
All his energies had been brought into requisi-
ton to perfect II in the light and progress that
Il decade had thrown upon the subject. Its
completeness, and the favor with which 1t was
viewed, therefore left little room for doubt that
II would receive the unanimous approval and
adoption OF Congress Its failure, under these
circumstances, without reason, is u misfortune,
What the freak or whlm was that brought
about its failure in the Senate, we cannot with
any degree of clearness, understand, The mar
rowing down of the patronage OF the Senate in
making the appointments, is said 10 have been
the animus Of its defeat. But this does not
stand out very clearly, as in the bill the Super
intendents appointment required the concur.
renee of the Senate the same as any other
Good and sufficient pason, therefore, for the op
position It met with, is not yet nlly SEEN
The result Is that the bureau goes into
operation under the census laws OF 1850. Mr.
Walker will, however, take advantage Of Tho
experience of the past, and make such improve
ments as are admissible under the law, ant
will, NO doubt, complete his labors To the en-
tire satisfaction of the public. Dispatch, cor
rcctness and economy are among the leading
essentials in obtaining a satisfactory census
aud we feel assured OF these results
The labor Of organizing must, necessarily, b

With this evidence Of ability placed be
fore the co6ntry, the people naturally de-
mand the passage of funding bill, thro'
which the deht can be consolidated at u
low rate of interest. No member of
Congress can reasonably oppose the mea-
sure, for in doing so he cannot fail to in
cur the disapprobation of all the intelli-
gent portion of his constituency, except
ing, perhaps, few selfish individuals
who hold government bonds, and wish
to retain them nc six and seven per cent.
interest.
The fact should not be lost sight Of
that the passage of the bill at the present
time does not include necessity to put
it into immediate operation. The wis
dom of the measure consists in giving
the Secretary of the Treasury the power
to commence funding the debt when he
and the administration deem it best to
do so. The work of funding must of ne.
cessity be done gradually. At the pre-
sent time there are only about $3.50, 900,
900 of the bonds redeemable On the
lst of July about $50, 900, 900 more could
be called In 20G,000,O00 more in No
vember. and the balance of the debt il
1s72-'73 and IA. What the country
wants now, and expects from Congress
is the passage of a funding bill that will
give the Secretary of the Treasury the
power to go ON consolidating the deb
as soon as he conceives it to be for tn,
interest of the country to do so. Pu
the authority into the bands of the ad
ministration to be used with discretion
at the proper time.
AS in the case of the census matter
this funding proposition appears to NEE
with opposition in the Senate. The cours
of that body in these respects is no
crcditable to its good sense or patriotism

Coon FooD FOR Cows and plenty of II, is

When cows are coming in the last of March

continue to feed until frost comes. 1t is then
time for the field corn to be cut and shocked.
This should be fed from the shock until the
cows are dry. 1t pays better to feed 1t In this
way than in any other, and when the cows are
dry they will fat, and can be wintered on
almost any kind of fodder and will hold their

Minnesota and Winnipeg.

The interests of the Northwestern
States and the British settlements beyond
them, are so inseparably connected, that
no political divisions, territorial boanda-
ries or legislative enactments can per
manently divide them. A glance at a
map of the country affords mos: conclu-
sive evidence of this. For several hun
dred miles Minnesota and Red River
territory are separated only by an imagi
nary straight line on the 49th parallel.
The Red River, with its head waters in
Minnesota and Dakota, runs north across
that boundary, and into British territory.
During the summer season American
steamers ply upon the river between
Minnesota and Lake Winnipeg. The
farmers, milleis, mechanics and inhabit-
ants generally of Winnipeg and all the
Red River districts on the British side
OF the line, do their trading almost
wholly in st. Paul, and large propor-
tion of the merchandise carried into the
British settlements is purchased in the
United States; while the surplus pro-
duce of the British settlements is carried
to St. Paul and other American cities
for a market. They neither buy nor sell
in the Canadian markets. They are sep
arated thousand miles from the nearest
Canadian cities, and one-half Of the
country between them is of such o nature
that 1t can never sustain n population
nor admit of the construction of either
railways or carriage roads. Canada has
no possible practicable way Of commu-
nicatiou with the northwest settlements
| hn / nil tot
With these incontrovertibe facts before
us, it is difficult to conceive of the mo-
tive that is prompting the Dominion to
take those distant villages and their in
terests under her fostering care! The
Red River people are not disloyal; they
cherish an abiding love and admiration
for their Sovereign; but they cannot
shut their eyes to the great injustice OF
transferring them aud their estates oven
to the control of another colony that
can neither commercially, nor in any
other way, become instrumental in ad
vancing the interests of the northern
colony. AS far as these interests are
concerned they might just as well be
under the control Of the King of tn,
Sandwich Islands as to be in subjectiol
to the Governor General Of the Dominion
of Canada. And why should Canads
attempt to cripple the energies and re
tard the progress of q. people over whom
she can have no Legitimate control? ? Al
portion of the United States the Rec
River territory would offer to its inhabit
ants opportunities for material prosperit,
that can never he secured in any othel
connection. Tho people know this, ant
are impressed with the importance of the
fact. Ieuce their desire to be let alon,
by Canada until they can work out thei
destiny according to their own conyic
tions Of duty to themselves and to thei
children.
