The Star of Empire.

The discussion of Paine's reapportioa-
ment bill brings wildly to mind the impor-
tant fact that the domination Of the east
over the American government Is about to
give place to western and southern power.
Assuming the whole population of the
United States now to be thirty eight mil,
lions and that the new apportionment will
increase the representation in congress from
two hundred and forty-tErec to two hun
dred and seventy FIVE, none Of the New
England States will gain single member,
while two of them-Nermont and Rhode
Island will lose q portion of their present
representation. Eight of the western
states, on the other hand-Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
Missouri and kansas-wiil add at least
eighteen representatives to their present
number, this addition Of itself being nearly
equal to the entire representation that will
be hereafter left to all the New England
states in the federal house. But the most
peculiar result is that developed by the
adoption of the constitutional amendment
affecting the representation of the south.
Up to the time of the advent OF the repub-
lican party in the administration of the
government, the south sent to Washington
a delegation comparatively insignificant as
to number Under the amendment every
negro counts as full citizen, and every
southern state where slavery formerly ex
isted, with one or two exceptions only, will
gain in the number Of their representatives
and as the south is likely to turn its back
On its eastern protectors and prove almost
unanimously liberal in lis political views,
the general result is an overwhelming ma
jCrity in congress against the peculiar inan-
eial and political views which have hitherto
predominated in the administration OF the
federal goyerment.- Nil,cdukee Neus.

landlord can fathom the business that brought

their coats, but no larger firearms have been
seen in their possession. Monday, four men

A Reason for Going to Church.

My desire for giving you one or two good
reasons for going to church, which do not
depend upon the authenticity of Christian
ity or upon the Christian Sabbath at all.
My first reason is unless man puts him
self into fine shirt. polished boots and
good clothes once a week, and goes out into
the public, he is almost certain to lapse into
semi barbarism. You know that unless
you do this on the Sabbath, you cannot do
it at all, for you labor all the week.
There is nothing like standing alone,
with no place in the machinery OF society to
tone down ones self respect You must
be aware that you are not 10 sympathy
with society. You are looked upon as an
outsider. because they refuse TO come in
contact with society on its broadest ami
best ground.
tell you it is good thing for a man to
wash his face clean and put on his best
clothes and walk TO the house of God with
his children on the Sabbath day, whether
he believes Ia Christianity or not. The
church j. a place where at least good NOR
ais are ineulcated and the vices of coamuu>
ity are denounced. You can afford to stand
BE- SO much of the church, and by SO doing
say,
Here am I, and here are mine. With q
stake in the welfare of society and M IN
terest in good Dorais.
My dear friend, this little operation gone
through with every Sunday, would give
you self respect, help you to keep your
head above water, and bring you into SYM
patty with the best society the world pos

The Coming Winnipeg War.

We were informed several days since
that large force OF English soldiers were
being organized for the suppression of the
Red River rebellion, but latter advices
seem to indicate that no such expedition
will be sent to Red River, unless the Cans
adams send some of their volunteers at their
own expense. The Toronto Telegraph Of
the goth in speaking Of the proposed ex>
petition asks this important question:
But where are the troops 1t is said that
the force will consist of Il regiment or two Of
regulars, and q couple of battalions Of volun-
teers made up of small detachments from ea Ii
military district. ..-.
The London Spectator Of late date gives
the following, which secGs to Indicate that
nothing definite has yet been decided upon
We seem not only to have lost the art of
governing, but the very wish to govern. 1t
seems quite certain that Refill, the Canadian,
the preudo-president of the Red River repub-
lie, has actually shot one Scott, a Canadian,
for aiding ma jor Bouton's enterprise, that is
for resisting the pretension of knot OF settlers
to dismember the British empire. Neverthe-
less, no movement against him seems to be in
contemplation. TWAS stated in the beginning
of the week that steel battery and 1000 men
would be dispatched to the Red River, but
this was instantly contra addicted, and the posi-
ton of affairs appears to be this: If the rebels
can be soothed into obedience by a Canadian
embassy, well. If not, Canada is to decide
whether she will will not reconquer her
majestys territory for her. With all our
wealth, We are visibly sinking into the position
of Spain just before her colonies quilted her

Do we not Need Free Trads?

Every man admits that Wisconsin is
suffering fer the want OF greater railway
facilities. Railways facilitate the settle
ment Of the country, increase the value of
property, and under proper legal rcstrc-
tons, add largely to the value of agricul-
tural and manufacturing interests.
1t is safe to say that $50, 900 tons of
railroad iron are now annually used in the
United States Every traveller bears testi-
mony to the fact that the poorest quality
made is used on our American roads In
der our present tariff, and because Of it, the
cost per ten is trifis over Eighty Dollars,
United States currency; while in Canada.
where that tariff does not prevail, 'teelro'1'
of only Sixty Three Dollars in the same
currency. In May, owing to the expiration
OF European patents for the making of
best quality Of steel rails could be landed at
Manitowoc for the Manitowoc, Ap plcton &
Duluth Railway, for Fifty Dollars per ton
in currency

from the cxorbitant tariff on iron and
steel. On the contrary. the bulk of it goes

and every man who in any way patroniZes
railroad pays in extra charges the bonus
extorted by these manufacturers.
Every heavy manufacturer of iron COZ

Why then should the industry of the coun-

From III, Boston .idCsriiser.
Mrs. Charles Dickens survives her hus-

comfortably maintained from his means,
for many years. Mr.. Dickens had buried
several children, and leaves twodaughtcrs,
one married to Mr.. Charles Collins,
brother of Wilkie Collins, the novelist,
and one unmarricd,-and several SONS, the
eldest married and already dabbling in
literature, one in Australia, one in the
navy, and one winning high hOnOrs In the
university. Miss HogartlI, sister of his
wife, and a lady Of great strength, beauty
and purity of character, has given her
life to the care Of the family, and was
with Mr.. Dickens nj Gad's Hill ut the
time of his death. OF his many friends,
perhaps the most intimate was Mr.. John
Forster, the biographcr Of Goldsmith and
Lander, to whom Mr.. Dickens dedicated
the last editions Of his works; and II seems
likely that upon Mr.. Forster will devOlve
the duty of writing the life OF his friend.

Planting Fruit Trees.

One Of the great comforts Of home Is
the fruit grown on every homestead. We
hear Of persons almost everywhere mourn
ing the want of fruit, particularly in this
section of country and many other places,
as if there was no remedy. But how
came the East and North so supplied with
it? Did the trees grow OF their own ac-
cord? Verify, nay; but those who went
before us lubOred to secure fruit for them
selves and their pOsterity. Our orchards
arc shamciully neglected. Wehave fer
tile virgin soil; well adapted to the harder
kinds Of fruit, such rs apples, pears, plums
and cherries. But to have them speedily
VIC must plant them speedily-reilcCt and

can plant out large orchard, but get a
few trees, if no more, and set them out
with great Carc-for time spent in plant
ing tree well Is not lost; and the next
year few more: and soon year after
year, rs each is able.
There are many reasons why we should
begin ut once. Let not next spring pass
without large addition to the fruit trees
everywhere possible, on every farm, yard
or lawn. Who plants M apple tree
makes provision against lite's rniny days,
against loss of health, misfortune in bust
ness and old age; also, you will keep the
doctor away from your children and your
self The planted fruit tree will be u

seasons, converting mir and earth anu
water into shadow for his footsteps, per
fumc for his parlor, food for his stable,
fuel for his hearth and timber for his use
1t will serve him Conlcntedly through life,
and minister to his wants when life is
ended.
Great care is needed in selecting. Many

Die and Dickens was true Englishmau

Die, and Dickens was true Englishman
ut feast. :.
With all his humOr, his activity, his
manly voice, his rapid walk, his evident
command of all his faculties, Dickens face
was proof that lie was a man who hau
been hard worked who had, ms they say,
burnt the candle at both ends, and was
almost worn out. The wrinkles about his
mouth and eyes and in his checks were
deep, and gave him 4 sOrDwiul look OF
exhaustion the expression Of n man who
had been tired out 50 often that WEAKNESS
had become habit. Evidently he had
not, since he had been famous, lead u life
of idleness or seli:denial. He had been
pleased with the applause Of the nations,
and while doing the vast work that is
evidence of the fertility Of his mind and
perseverance oChis application, he had not
avoided the dissipation 10 which he was
invited by universal adulatiOn and the
fond batteries of society.
Those who were ApprehensIVe, TWO
years ago, that his work was almost done,
saw with delight in the opening chapters
of the Mystery of Edwin brood" now
forever to DO u mystery, that the hand Of
the master had not lost its cunningham
it was not impossible this was the dawn
Of new cru for the novclist-in which

tragic power Of the Tale of Two Cities,
the artistic completeness Of Our Mutual
Friend. But on Wednesday lust, the pen
that had been the wand Of this cnchantcr,
wrought It's magic that charmed millions,
for the lust time; and the honest IhCe that
was so kindly and so weary, passed from
its brightness in which shone the I'M
pulses Of n generous heart, and the glow
OF genius whose mission in the world
was the divine one of good will to men,
