DON'T ADMIT HER.-There is some
talk Of admitting Colorado as a State.
Now if Colorado as a Territory sends
out the plaques she has, what will she
do as y State?
The potato bug is a Colorado bird
The pretty little creature first saw the
light Of day on the plains ftLat Terri
tory.
The grasshoppers built their first
roosts in Colorado, and there they
laid their hrt eggs, and from Colo
RADIO soil they went forth to lay waste
the green fields Of Iowa.
The Colorado beetle and the Colo
RADIO chinch bug are known to every
western farmer. just now these de-
lightful creatures are getting a good
ready to pounce upon the growing
crops.
So we have the Colorado potato bug:
the Colorado grasshopper, the Colo
RADIO beetle and the Colorado chinch
bug, and Colorado itself trying to get
into the Union. If Colorado must
come in, We want a Wilmot proviso
attached to the bill to the effect that
all the Total plaques shall be called
home Immediately upon the passage OF
the bill.
1t j. frequently remarked that We
are nation OF dyfpeptica, and we GER
tainly swallow more pills and take
more nostrums than any other people
in the world. There is, no doubt
moreover, that dyspepsia with us is "
prevailing complaint. 1t may be part
" ascribed to our restless and unmeth
olical habits but u great deal i due
to our bad cookery. Certainly few
who train servants to cook food skill
fully, perhaps fewer servants who are
willing to receive such instruction from
those who employ them. In England
where food is also badly cooked
+ though not 50 badly as with us, Lady
BARKER has undertaken tc preside
over training school. In New York
there is also a wo.nan's free training
school to educate cooks for private fam.
lies. But, as is pointed out in a pa.
per Of that city, the greater need is for
training mistresses Of families. The
need is greatly felt here.

There is a strong probability that the bill
introduced in Congress, providing for the re-
distribution of the National bank currency,
will become a law.
Bishop Gilbert Haven writes from Atlanta,
Georgia, urging the passage of the Sumner
Civil Rights bill.
In the Senate, Tuesday, Senator Anthony
presented a memorial from citizens of Provl-
dence demonstrating against any reduction Of
the bank circulation in the State of Rhode
Island, which was the occasion of a general
discussion on the question of allowing the
New England banks to retain their circula-
ton. A bill was introduced to remove the
political disabilities of Raphael Semmes, and
a bill for the relief of DIR. Jarvis was passed.
The members of the district investigation
committe were finally fixed, and the consii-
Grafton of the bankrupt bill was resumed and
after considerable discussion it was passed
43 to IL. In the House of Representatives
Mr. Butler made a personal explanation in
regard to certain newspaper charges against
him. A bill was passed prescribing new
oath for postmaster. An investigation into
the affairs of the First National Bank in
Washington was authorized, and the bankrupt
bill was again taken up and discussed, with,
out action.

A Generous Offer Rejected.

The County Commissioners of Kennebec
and Somerset counties gave hearing on
Tuesday, at Fairfield, on the petition of the
Directors of the Fairfield Bridge corporation.
1t will be remembered that the petitioners
magnanimouSly proposed to present to the
two counties their toll bridge crossing the
Kennebec at Fairfield that il may be made a
free bridge and maintained at the joint ex-
pense of the two counties. 1t is understood
that some expensive repairs will soon be
needed on the structure. AT the hearing on
Tuesday, S. S. Brown, Esq, appeared for the
petitioners, and S. j. Walton, Esq, in oppo
sition. The two boards of commissioners
finally decided, by vote of to /, that it
was not for the interest and convenience of
the public to accept the offer of the proprie-
tors as set forth in their petition. 1t is I'M
derstood that the Gardiner people have been
awaiting the decision of the commissioners
with great interest; on favorable turn of
affairs they would be willing to pass over
their bridge to the care and custody of the
county, and under similar circumstances, our
Ifallowell neighbors might possibly be in
duced, for the public good, to relinquish to
the county all their right title and interest"
