BYRoN's FooT.-At a recent dinner given
by Lord Houghton in London, L. J. Jen-
nings met Baron Beath, who was Lord
Byron's school-fellow at Harrow, and who,
being his Junior, acted AZ his fag.' He
told me that Lord Byron wore boot at
that time ON his withered foot, in which .
plate of tin was inserted, in the hope that
it would remedy the deformity, but the
foot ceased to grow at an early period of
his life, and simply shrunk up. Itwas not
q sclub-foot,' as is commonly supposed.
The boot was laced up in the middle. Il
remember ii very well. said Baron Heath
with smile, and for very good reason--
I have often had TO clean those same
boots. -

Summer

Lo lazy Summer swarthy, in the sun
Lies painting, with bare breasts, upon the hills,
Swathing her limbs in hazes warm and dun,
Where splendors into dusky splendors run,
And sultry glory all the heaven o'erflls.
Not white dimple stirs amid the corn.
Not a low ripple shivers through the leaves,
Since, wrapped in gold, and crimson leaves un-
shorn,
Came, flashing through the cast, the regal morn.
No throated twitterings gurgle round the caves.
Flooded in sunny silence sleep the kline;
In langud murmurs brooklets float and flow;
The quaint farm gables in the right light shine,
And round them jasimined honeysuckles twine,
And close beside them snnfowers burn and
blow.
Amid the growing heat lie me down.
And into visions swarm the u,oted air;
Cleans up before me many famous town,
Pillar ed and crested with regal crown
Outshimmering In an orient purple glare;
Lo! lowly Tadmor, burning in its sands
Baalbeck and Babylon IL see slow streams
Gliding by mosque and minaret, see the q cams,
OF seas in sunset-slips of strands
And drowsy Bagdad buried deep in dreams;-
See swarthy monarchs flushed in purple rings
OF siken courtiers-tnrough half open doors
Catch the spice odors and the cool of springs
Leaving forever in maze of wings,
See light forms dancing over pearly floors -
Sleeping seraglios, spire and tremulous dome
Winking in drowsy splendor all the day
See forest haunts where thick the lions roam
See thirsty panthers splashed in bloody foam,
Leap terrible as lightnings on their prey;
Or stand with Cortez on a mountain peak
Above the Aztec city,-see unrolled
Gem-threaded shores OF Montezuma weak
See the white temples swarming thick and sleek,
And sunny streets stretch up by towers of gold
See silken sails float by, ambrosial,
Laden with spices, up Persian glen;
Or stand on Lebanon, mid the cedars tall,
Or hear the soft andsilver fall
OF waters down jut of Darien.
But 10 a waking shiver in the trees,
And voices mid the hay-cocks in the glen;
The sun is setting; and the crimson seas
Are shaken into splendor by the breeze.
And all the busy world is up again.

BLUE SLEEP,

The sleep Of perfect rest is dreamless-
kind of sleep not procured by laudanu M,
choral or any other drug. Remember,
his, young people, at the beginning of
your lives. Do healthy work enough to
weary you, and you will sleep healthy
sleep, and be doubly sure of good old age.
The New York Times remarks:
One Of the pleasantest of the quaint
fancies that Sir Arthur Helps scattered
freely through Realmah twas that of buy
ing sleep. In that strange county where
"tired natures sweet restorer" could be
bought, there were three grades of it, of
corresponding prices, Of which the costli-
est was of a pale blue color. This plung-
ed, or rather sank, the happy buyer into
profound and dreamless sleep; whereas the
cheapest kinds only procured the lighter
form of rest and forgetfulness which we
call slumber.
Like almost all of Helps fancies this
shows an intimate and sympathetic
lrnnn,lodnn. Of tl,n n.rnrudau nnnd nd n"nr-
ings of civilized human nature. Strange
as it seems, sleep is the greatest need of
man, next to air. He can live on a very
little food and drink, but any continuous
reduction of his hours of sleep, even in
moderate proportions, results in insanity
Or death. We have said that this is
strange; and is it not so-that the greatest
boon and the greatest need i'll life should
be absolute oblivion 9-that to enjoy, in
deed to endure, two-thirds of life, we must
pass one-third, Or nearly that proportion of
it, in state of absolute unconsciousness
For sleep to be perfectly refreshing should
be dreamless.

The LAST GREAT INVENTION.
A Plan BY Which Stereot7ped Newspaper
Pages May be Telegraphed.

WASHINGTON, June ga patent has
just been granted to Loring Pickering, one
of the editors and proprietors of the
Euening BuzleZin and Morning Call news
papers of San Francisco, for method of
rapid telegraphing of fac SMILES of stereo-
typed plates 1t is claimed that by this
process an entire page of newspaper can
be transmitted by telegraph in from fifteen
to thirty minutes, delivering the copy di-
rectly from the instrument in such form
that it can be handed Immediately to the
printers. In other words, the copy will be
substantial reproduction of the original,
except that it may be given in a larger
sized letter If so desired. The stereotype
plate requires no preparation for the pur-
pose of telegraphic transmission other than
the filling of all it's depresslons Or spaces
between the faces of the letters with a
non-condncting substance, which may be
quickly applied, the faces of the type being
left clear by means of an equally simple
process. The plate thus prepared is placed
upon cylinder arranged to revolve rapid
ly SO as to present each successive letter to
fingers attached to travelling frame. AS
the cylinder bearing the plate revolves the
frame gradually advances by the operation
of screw, and thus each and every line is
successfully presented to the fingers or
magnetic points already mentioned. Nee
essarily the circuit is open when the points
are passing over the non-conducting sur
face, but as often as the metal type pre-
sents itself to said fingers the circuit is
closed, and the corresponding magnetic
points or pens at the receiving station make
the record there in the same letter as the
original, delineated in a series of fine lines
either upon chemically prepared or ordina-
ry paper fixed upon corresponding cylin-
der at the receiving station.

WHAT SHE ASKED TOMMY.

lie was named Thomas and she was named
Jane. They sat on 4 hotel balcony for
three long hours and giving themselves
dead away as being out of towners. AS they
sat down Thomas took one of James hands.
She allowed that sort of thing to go on
withoul a word of protest, and the daxen-
youth finally seized the other one. They
talked and talked, and looked Gown upon
the street, and sighed, and the hours slipped
away. At the end of the third hour she
said
Tommy, dearest, want to ask you
something"
ask me a hundred-a thousand-a mil.
lion things! = he exclaimed in reply.
"Well, Tommy, I've got an awful cold in
my head" she continued, " and if ! draw
one of my hands away and wipe my NOSE
would you think | was mad? Eve either
got to do that Tommy, or let my nose wipe
itself. just one wipe, Tommy, and Their
you may have it back"
Tommy released her hand, though he
hated to, and her nose was softly and duly
wiped,

PUBLIC SURVEYS.
DalSota's Share as Compared With That of
Other Territories.
Springfield Times.

Springfield Times.
In our issue of the 23d ult., we took oc.
casion to briefly review a letter written by
Tripod from this place, to the Dakota
Herald, which contained reflections upon
our delegates efficiency, in not securing a
larger appropriation for surveys in this ter
ritory. Since this matter has been mooted
we have taken 8 little pains to investigate
the subject before his constituents in rela-
ton thereto, and hence we again recur to it.
The writer in the Herald, although he
disclaims any intentional reflections upon
Dakota's delegate or the surveyor general, -
conveys the impression, nevertheless, that
there is something wrong somewhere, be.
cause when Armstrong was delegate we
used to get an appropriation of not less
than $4,000, while this year we only gel
SIT 700, and adds that he has seen moth
ing in the Daily Press or Herald touching
Dakota's SURVEYS"
Now, if our learned Tripod had read
the Daily Press of July Cd last, he would
have seen in that paper a full statement Of
the a~pportionment of the appropriation fol
surveys among the several states and terri
tories, which we here reproduce as follows

AS we stated in our former article upon
this subject (see page 34S, o. S. Statutes
1850, congress appropriated for survey
of the public lands and private land claims,
100000 only. 1t will be seen by the fore
going table, therefore, that $500 O of the
appropriation was set apart for the survey of
private land claims-none of which have we
in this territory, or we would have had a
portion of it-and $40, 600 for inspection of
surveys, leaving a balance for the survey of
public lands of only $242, 900. Divide this
sum equally among the sixteen states and
territories wherein this appropriation is ex-
pended and we find that each is entitled to
have Sl5,l25. Thus Dako'a having received
as her apportionment $1,000, has got the
snug little sum of $3.50 more than her
share. Surely, if Judge Kidder did this,
he is entitled to credit, and the same credit
is due General Espersou if he procured it.
Further, the table shows that out of the
money for public surveys, only one state
and one territory get more than Dakota one
state gets Just az much, and one territory
gets Just the same, while eleven states and
territories get less! How is this for Kid
der? VIII Tripod" please explain?
Again: When Mr.. Armstrong was dele
gate and the majority Of the house Of rep
resentatives was republican, the a%ppropria-
ton for surveys used to be from S900,0 900 to
81, 800, 600, when Dakota's share would be
$4,000 and more. In this case the original
appropriation for the whole work-for all
the states and territories-as reported by
the democratic house committee, was the
insignificant sum OF $4,000 This the
senate increased to $500, 600 and would
have made it much larger if there had been
the least possibility of getting the amend
ment through the house.
The foregoing we present as asimple state
ment of facts in relation to the surveys in
the various states and territories, and in
order that all may be informed in relation
thereto we hope our contemporaries through
out the territory will give it "A place in then

WHY ADVERTISER

People sometimes ask why does R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., spend so much money in advertising his family medl- cines, which are so well known and sur, pass all other remedies in popularity and sale. 1t is we'll known that A. T. Stew rat considered it good policy. and un- doubtedly it paid him, to spend thous- ands of dollars in advertising his goods, yet the grand secret of success lies Tn of fering1 only goods which possess merit to sustain themselves, and then through liberal and persistent advertising making the people thoroughly acquainted with their good qualities. Men do not succeed in anassing great fortunes, establishing thriving and permanent business, and founding substantial institutions like Dr. Pierce's Grand Invalids' Hotel at Buffalo, which cost over two hundred thousand dollars. unless their business be legiti- mate, their goods meritorious, and their services which they render the people gep- uine and valuable. Dr. Pierce does not attempt to humbug you hv telling yon that his Golden Medical Discovery will cure all diseases He says 'lf your lungs are half wasted by consumptltn, my Dls- covery will cure you, yet as remedy for severe coughs, and all curable bronchial, throat, and lung affections, l believe 1t to be unsurpassed as remedy The The people have confidence in his medi- cines because he does not over-rec- comend them. and when tried they give satisfaction. His Medical Adviser. hook of over nine hundred pages, illustrated by two hundred and eighty-fve engrav- ings and bound iu cloth and gilt, is offer cred to the people at so moderate a price $1 .50, postpaid), that it is no. wonder thatsalmost one hnndred thousand have already been sold. His memorandum books are on every druggists counter for free distribution.

Here, it will be noticed, there is no contest. Each party takes it's dne pro- portion of the board without trying to enroach on the others share. Either, making the attempt would have been de- feated. We give fractions in order to show the vote more accurately; but, in most cases, the fractions could be disre. gartied without affecting the result, and the bill provides for full report of the vote. 30 Shat any errors made can be readily corrected by proper legal proceed ing.
 Whether the method proposed in this bill proves satisfactory or not, hope the preseut legislature will not fail to give minorities some sort of representation on town boards. H.
