LITTER FROM MADISON.

Although located in the Capital city,
I still feel much interest in every
thing that pertains to the welfare OF
your locality. | have watched with
no little concern the proceedings OF
the County Board upon the vexed
question, which has so long inter
upted the peace, and interfered with
the prosperity of Iowa county; and
Notwithstanding the injustice of the
claim made against the county, l
was glad that so favorable com
promise was effected. From the
lioht we have at this distance, it
seems to us that the thanks q the
whole people are due to W. I, Henry
for his unccasing efforts In this
matter.
Madison is at present on the gu
yire The sessions of Legislature by
day. and festivals, concerts, lectures,
balls, theatres, etc. by night, afford
ing all classes opportunities OF
pleasure and amusement, according
to their tastes or inclinations.
Next Thursday evening Mrs.
Young, the nineteenth wife of Brig
ham Young, is to lecture in the
Opera House, on "The Evils OF
Polygamy." Strange renditions are
expected.
| need not report the doings of
the Legislature from other sources
YOU will learn all the particulars.
| will only say, q few days ago there
was the usual wlangle in refence to
the Chaplaincy, or opening of the
sessions Of the Legislature with
prayer. Every year the clergy OF
this city, and through them, all the
clergymen in the State are insulted
by the disgraceful speeches Of some
ungodly members OF the Legisla-
ture; but the speeches last week
were even more notorious and dis
reputable than those of former
years, and | was sorry that Iowa
county should he represented by a
man, professedly q Reformer, who
should SO far U,iSrepreSeH II large
number of his constituents, as to
denounce the practice, and vote
AGAINST the time-honored custom OF
opening Legislative sessions with
PRAYER As ! listened to his speech
| could only wish that next year he
might be elected to stay at home.

the ground. The present name
has become 80 popular that few
know It by any other, and I could

GIVE Your CHILD A PAPER-A child
beginning to read becomes delighted with
newspaper, because he resds of names and
things which are familiar and he will pro-
gress accordingly. A newspaper in year is
worth quarters schooling to child. Every
father must consider that information is con-
,nected with advancement. The mother of q
family. being one of its heads and having a
more immediate charge ofachildren, should
herself be instructed. A mind occupied be-
comes fortified against the ills of life, and is
braced for emergency. Children amused by
reading or study are. of course, more consld-
crate and easily governed Bow many
thoughtlcss young men have spent their earn
ings IN tavern or grog shop who ought to
have been reading? How many parents who
have not spent twenty dollars for books for
their families, would have given thousands
to reclaim a son or daughter who had ignor-
antly, houghtlessly, fallen into temptation.

ture burst forth in fury Of passion that sent
the doctor scampering for the police and the

that, from mistaken kindness, she was not
prosecuted, but allowed to depart unmolested.

EMIGRATION TO MEXICO.

The Mexican Congress has passed a new
law to encourage immigration, ard has appro-
priated $500, 900 TO assist immigrants this year,
They are to be carried at the expense of tte
Republic from the place of their residence
abroad to the point of their destination" !"
provisions will be furnished them during the
voyage; they will receive ninety dollars for
their support in the first wear. and if they are
dissatisfied at the end of the second year, the
Republic will pay their way back to their na>
tive country. When fifty families or more
settle in one colony they may constitute q
municipal corporation, elect their own off,
cials and adopt ordinances for their local
government, not inconsis ent will, the State
or Federal laws. Their lands are to be free
from tax Except municipal taxes) for five
years, and al their provisions, tools and ma
terial for houses shall be imported free Of
duty, and any vessel bringing more than ten
immigrants shall be free from tonnage, light
house, anchorage and pilotage duties. All
immigrants are declared citizens from the
moment of their arrival, and they enjoy all
the political and civil rights of native citizens
Public lands will he Sc: apart for them, and
each man who desires to till the coil will re-
GIVE not less than 10 ncr more than 1, 100
which he can cultivate without charge for
ten years, and at the expiration Of that period
may purchase. either paying the full price
down one-tenth annually, for ten years more.
Sites suitable for towns will be surveyed.
ana a lot will be offared to every emigrant,
who, however, is not restricted to lands now
wild, but may settle in any Of the towns,
cites or agricultural or mining districts. The
law implies that the immigrant may follow
any mechanical or laboring occupation. and
