A New TERRITORY.

The new territory of 0jibway, which
it is proposed to set off in the northern
part of Dakota, will contain about $4,000
square miles, being nearly one-half the
present area of Dakota. The new territory
contains large area of fertile and well
watered lands, but Its inhabitants consist
as yet almost entirely Of Indians. 1t will
be crossed midway, however, by the
Northern Pacific Railroad, which will build
up settlements and towns rapidly along its
route, and from the line Of the railroad
population and agricultural developcmcnt
Will be difused in all directions. The ex-
listing white population in Dakota, num-
bering about $4,000, is concentrated chief
" in the southern part of the territory, its
capital, Ianh5sn, being at the mouth Of the
James River, AID a vast wilderness inter
venes between these settlements and the
country which will attract the attention of
emigrants who follow the line of the new
railroad

NiCkez.Plated Steel.

A small square bar of steel coated with
nickel has been repeatedly immersed in
water for hours together without showing
any signs of rusting, and Mr.. John Spiller
states, in the Photographic lNe'cs, that he
finds it possible to bury it in flowers of sui
phur for several days without furnishing
the lustre of the nickel surface Neither
has this latter severe test any effect upon
the copper and brass bars upon which the
nickel coating has been applied, and these
metals may even be immersed in aqueous
solution of nitrate of silver without effect
ing the reduction of that metal. This dis
covery furnishes US with another valuable
material for electro-plating. The nickel
facing is of a whittier color than polished
steel, though it is not equal to silver, being
more like platinum. Its points of melting
and of oxidation are very high.

Ice in Scarlet Fever.

The Davenport (Iowa) Gazette of re-
cent date reports case of scarlet fever in
that city hopefully treated with ice. The
patient was little son of W. A. Foster,
Esq. On a Saturday evening he was so
far gone as to be unable TO even whisper.
Tho feet were cold, while his head aud
body were burning with the fever. As a
desperate remedy the attending physician
tried what he had read of, but never resorted
to-ice baRdages about the throat. Relief
came in a brief time after the application
of the ice, and on Sunday the boy reeog-
nized and spoke to his parents in clear
voice. Improvement continued up 10 Sun
day evening with fair hope of complete re-
Govern.

On the 22nd ult., in Dublin, Judge
keough Gin chambers) heard the case of
Emanuel Churcher I. Michael Doolev and
others. The plaintiff, an English gentle
man, brought actions of eiectment again t
the defendants for non-paymcnt Of rent.
Mr.. ii. McDermott for the plaintiff, moved
for liberty to substitute service Of the sum
mons and plant in each instance by send
ing the wrts as registered letters, and
posting copies on the adjoining chapel and
market cross of the nearest town. Judge
keough asked why they could not be
served IN the usual way? Mr. McDcr-
mott said the plaintiff was possessed of
property worth between $4,000 and 93,-
600 year, known as the French estate, in
the county of Galway, of which he became
owner about two and half years ago as
dcyisee of the previous owner. The ten
antry had since resolutely refused to pay
any rent. The plaintiff had made a few
of them amenable to the law; but from the
part Of the estate occupied by the defend
ants nothing could be had. When the
process-server Welt to give the usual no.
tees to quit he was met by upwards of 100
men and received such beating as rem

mob on the lands ready to prevent any
service being effected, and holding out all
sorts of threats against persons found en-
deavorng to do so. He had an affidavit of
Mr.. James b. Concannon, the plaintiff 5
attorney, TO the effect that he had offered
$40 to another process server; but that he
had refused to go near the place, even
by night, for fl00. Ballygar was the
nearest town, being only three and half
miles distant. Judge Kcough gave on

A Distinction without n Difference,

A "boss" barber in Springfield, Mass,
tells the following rather amusing story
concerning two of his employcs: One of
them applied at a clearinghouse for
board. His application was granted, and
just as he was leaving, c0ncratulatinc
himself on having secured home, he was
asksd what his business was. He replied.
% am a barber" lie was then told that
that class of boarders was not wanted. and
he left, although his employer offered to be
| responsible to the boarding house proprie-
tor for the payment of his workman's bills
and for his behavior. The other - barber
hearing the result Of his companions visit,
went to the same plac and made similar
request. On being asked his business he
stated that he was an '.artist." he
might have added stonsorial,' but he
didn't, and was Immediately installed in 4
place at the table and given one of the best
rooms in the house.
LIKE dropping, dying stars, our loved
ones 60 away from our sight The stars of
our hopes, our ambitions. our PRAYERS,
whose light ever shines before us, leading
on and up, they suddenly fade from the
armament of our hearts, and their places
are left empty, cold and dark. A mothers
steady, soft and earnest light, that beamed
through all our wants and sorrows; a
fathers strong, quick light, that kept
| our feet from stumbling in the dark and
treacherous ways: a sister light, so
mild. so pure, so constant, and so firm.
shines upon US from gentle loving ewes, and
persnading US to grace and goodness:
brothers light forever sleeping in our
soul. and Illuminating our going aud
com'ngs; a friends light, true and trusty
gone out forever? Nc The light has
not gone out. 1t is shining beyond the
stars, where there is no night and no dark
ness forever and forever

'OUT WEST" is still remarkable for its
expanse. Few people, however, realize the
immense dimensions of some of our terri
tories. Two or three of them are twice or
three times as large as all New England,
and 1t Is small territory that is not at
least ten times as large as Massachusetts,.
Colorado Is thirteen times as large as Mas
sachusetts, while Dakota and Arizona are
half as large again as Colorado The
eleven territories contain over one billion
and quarter acres, exceeding by nearly
two hundred thousand square miles the ag-
gregate territory of all the at present adj
mitted States of the Union. The territory
of Alaska contains 800, 529, 600 acres.

two or three years duration. Father
NJ Parland was in his fifty eighth year, and

then transferred to Cullyhanna as carate,
ana alter some years was appointed to its
pastorship, which Office he filed for the
last twelve years. The large attendance
at his obsequies on the 18th ult., from the

On the evening of the 2lst ult., very
melancholy accident, attended unfortunate
Jy with the loss of four lives, took place t
the entrance of Larnc Tough. Four coast
guards, belonging to Portmuck station, and
a boyarrived in Larne during the day, for
the purpose, it Is stated, of making some
purchases III connection with the Christ
mas season. Having concluded their bust
ness, they started in their boat on their re-
turn voyage. Il was about half past three
when they left Larne harbOr for Portmuck;
at that time there was a strong southeast
breeze. A snort time after they took
their departure, cries were heard on shore
by person named NJ I.ayerty, who III
formed Il man named Hood of what he
had heard. Hool mmeIa tely procured a
boat and went in search Of the men, lie
had not been out long when he discerned
the boat, bottom upwards, to which one
man was clinging. The man was immedi-
ately brought to shore, where every atten-
ton was nsld to him, but he did not sur
ylve. Another Of the bodies has since
been found. 1t appears that when the
boat left the shore no sail was set, oars
then being made use of; but, when little
distance from the harbor, the sails were
spread, and - the evening was very
stormy, she must have been caught in one
Of the squalls, and hence the dreadful ac-
cident which cnsued. 1t is stated that
five life buOys were in the boat when she
left the shore, and, strange to say, these
had not been made use of, with one excep-
ton. All the coastguards were married,
and leave wives and families to mourn
their melancholy end.

On the 10th ult., Judgment was deliv-
cred by Lord Chancellor O'Hagan in two
cases of considerable interest, as further
defining the extent to which the Court Of
Chancery viii 90 in compelling children TO
be brought up in the religion of their faith
er. In the first case an application was
made by the uncle Of a minor named Gar
nett to have the boy taken from under the
control O.. his mother and placed at Pro-
testant school, his father having died a
Protestant. The minor mother had orr
ginally been a Protestant but became
Catholic. In the fathers life time she
brought up the children as Catholics, and
the boy was stated to have formed strong
religious opinions. The Chancellor de-
clded that the case came within the rule
laid down by Lord Hatherly, that, where
settled religious convictions had been
formed, they should not be interfered
with, and the application was refused IN
the other case an application was made by
the aunt OF boy named Weldon, that he
should be handed over to the custody of
his uncle, the President of a Canadian
College, who had undertaken to make am
pie provision for him. The child was the
ohsplihS VI IrOteStdHt parents, nut llc
father was dead and his mother had gone
away and left him to the care of Catholic
tradesman, who was bringing him up in
the Catholic faith. The Chancellor per-
ceived the interested motive of the appli-
cants, but did not feel at liberty to deny
the child the undoubted material advan-
tages offered by the Canadian uncle, and
therefore granted the application.
An important feature in the Irish Bank
ruptcy Bill, which is said to be already
prepared for next session, will be the abo-
htion Of imprisonment for debt.
