HOwIOwA BECAME A TERRITORY.

Ever since the world began woman has
played q leading part in ell history
events. American history is no excep-
tion to the rule. The honors which fall
to Mollie Stark, Aunt Bailey and mum.
erous other women are well known.
Latter on it is recorded that the Quaker
ess, Rebecca Wright. helped gallant Phil
Sheridan. to win the day at Winchester.
Woman has been the central figure In
poetry and song for ages. and moulded
with her deft finger kingdoms and
crowns. and unmake them as we'll. She
has been an important factor in the leg
isiatlon OF tho country, and to the wlles
OF woman is ssor:bed the existence OF
Iowa. The bill for the formation of the
territory of Iowa was prepared and
presented to Congress by George w.
Jones. Among its most bitter oppon-
ents was John G. Calhoun, then in the
zenith of his power. and the master
mind of Congress. 1t soon became ap-
parent to Mr.. Jones that Calhoun would
crush his bill and he therefore resorted
to strategy. Mr.. Jones was then in his
prime and man of attractive presence,
added to which were graces of manner,
which gave him great prominence in
society. He was great favorite with
the ladies. There was at Washington
lady who was special friend of Mr..
Calhoun-in fact. she had him ION a
string" as it were. He at once played
the agreeable to the lady, and soon, by
his gallantry, won from her the express
sion one day that she hoped something
might happen that she could reciprocate
his favors. That was Jones apportu-
nifty. He informed her she could and
how. He explained to her his territorial
bill, and how anxious he was to succeed
with it, but be feared the opposition OF
Calhoun. who would kill it ii he had the
opportunity. The woman entered into
the matter with zest. and told Mr.. Jones
to send her his card when bis bill came
up. and she would take care of Mr.. Gal.
houn. When the bill was taken up Mr..
Jones sent his card to the lady in the
gallery. Soon after Mr.. Calhoun was
seen going out of the hall. and did not
return for several hours. In the mean
time Mr.. Jones had secured the passage
OF his bill. Mr.. Calhoun never knew
why his fair friend WAS 30 especially
anxious to secure HE undivided atten-
ton on that day. Thus was Iowa born
of woman. IT Chicago Journal.

The PLAINS A HARD Road TO TRAvEL.-
About the middle of June, 1877, DR..
William Kemp started from Keokuk,
Iowa. with his family, consisting of his
wife and three children, in a two.horse
wagon, for the purpose of going to his
father who was living in Oregon. Mr..
Kemp succeeded in reaching the Black
Hills in safety. There unfortunately,
his horses We're poisoned by drinsing
alkali water. This misfortuneRleft him
teamless and with out means to purchase
span of horses He was compelled to
dispose of his wagon and remain during
the winter in the Black Hills country,
and had to work very hard to maintain
himself and family. In the spring he
started west, and manged to work his
way as far as Ogden with freight team.
On arriving there he was again stranded.
and unable to proceed further But bis
pluck never once deserted him. While
there he formed the determination to
come on foot the remainder OF the dis
tanoe. Not having the m ans to purchase
any sort of vehicle, Mr. Kemp con-
structed large wheelbarrow entirely
firm willows. Into this he bundled
what few worldly goods he possessed, and
accompanied by his faithful wife and
children. he again turned his face toward
the setting sun. The wife and children
footed it, while the husband and father
trundled the wbeelbarrow. After pro.
ceediDg considerable distance the bar
row broke down. but Kemp rebuilt the
rude vehicle as best he could, and once
more resumed the long and painful jour.
ney. travelling by day and camping at
night, these people At length made their
way to the base of the Blue Mountains.
Here the family fortunately fell in with
some freight teams, and were kindly as
sisted to Umatilla. They reached the
Blue Mountain about the Goth of May.
On arriving at Umatilla the O. 8. N.
Company, when they learned Of the
circumstances, brought Mr.. Kemp and
his family down to Portland free. They
reached this city on the 3Osh of last

SILVER DEPOSITS PERMANENT In his
treatise on silver mines Fuller SAYS
Whenever in any part OF the world
silver mines have been worked, they are
worked now, unless from war, invasions
OF Indians, etc. We know OF no silver
mining regions in the world that have
given out. Mexican mines worked by
the Aztecs before the conquest by Cortez
are still worked as profitable as ever; the
old Spanish mines opened long before
Hannibal's time, are still worked with
enormous profits; the South American
mines have constantly yielded their
wealth for more than three hundred
years, and are as productive as ever; /;
mines in Hungary that we're worked by
the Romans before the Saviour's time,
still yield abundance of ore; the silver
mines Of Freiburg, opened in the eleventh
century and worked continuously ever
since, yield their steady increase. So in
Norway, Sweden and Russia, and indeed
wherever silver mines have been opened,
We believe without exception, they con-
tinue to be worked at the present day.
and generally are more productive than
at any time IN their past history"
Mrs Maud Giles, st-p-daughter of the
deceased ,locutionist Bellew, last night
accomplished in Cooper Inststute tho
wonderful feat of singing three hours
and eight minutes without intermission.
During that time she sang 40 different
well-known selections, and in six diff
ferent languages. She began to tire stand
ing after singing for two hours and a
quarter, although her voice betrayed but
very slight symptoms of WEAKNESS, and
she rested in an easy chair at intervals
thereafter, while changing the sheets OF
music. She was frequently applauded
during the evening. and ct the close OF
a very fine rendition Of grand aria
from Weber's "Der Frsischuetz," the
last composition on the programme, was
the recipient of quite an ovation. It is
interesting to note, apropos of the per-
formance. that Mrs. Giles claims that she
can sing twice as long as she did last
evening. Her husband remarked as she
was singing the last selection, that "she
could sing until morning were sufficient
inducement offered"
