ti1c discovery has been made when
comes III aid Of the Government at
this crisis. 1t is found that the
castor oil bean plant possesses
poisonous qualities, and that It's
leaves are more obnoxious to the
grasshopper than the oil is to oll-
ious infancy. It is proposed to
cultivatethe plantfreely in sections
infested by the insect, who Is
known to be very indiscrimlnate IN
the matter of diet. The effect Of
the poison is said TO be apparent
very shortly after it is taken. Ihe
victim seems bewildered, like a

efforts to jump or fly, it tumbles

bnt we cannot refrain from a lew
remark in acknowledgement OF
the great debt Of gratitude when
we, in common with all other per

the Territory, owe to this able and
jealous champion Of our rlgh s.
To those Of our readers who are
aware that even the most prom

. Territorial delegate has need OF
all the influence he can possibly
command and certainly can not af
ford to have many enemies among
the heads of departments and those
who make the laws Of the nation.
Having these facts in mind, we ez-
perienced some surprise at the bold
position assumed by Major Magin-
mis- in regard to the timber bill.

upon the subject, and has
likely regarded the opposition to
his absurd theories as a personal
insult. Major Maginnis would not
have offende | this high official: had
It been possible to accomplish his
object in any other way, and the
fact that he has sacrificed 50 much
influence for the sake Of

elfshness and reliability of the

----------
The old project Of the American
Colonization Society, which receiv-
ed the cordial support Of Henry
Clay and other leading Southern
statesmen years ago, seems now to
be revived by the colored people
themselves. It had its origin in a
desire to remove the free colored
people of the South from all associa-
ton with those still held in bond
age, and was not looked upon with
particular favor either by the ne
groes themselves or their friends
in the free States. Now, however,
the movement has originated
among the colored people. A large
company has been formed in
Charleston, S. G., for the purpose
Of encouraging general emigration
to Liberia. It finds supporters
throughout the South. Sufficient
money has already been raised to
purchase a fine vessel in Boston,
which is now taking in supplies for
the first party Of emigrants to
Monrovia. The condition Of the
Company's treasury also warrants
the negotiation for the purchase Of
one or two frst-class steamers to
carry out the scheme Of African
emigration on a large scale. The
vessel now in hand will accom-
modate two hundred passengers
very comfortably, and she is ex-
pected to make the round trip in
thee months, or four trips a year.
The movement was originated and
is controlled by colored men. It's

lowstone, from which they were ex-
PEELED only a short year ago, says the
New York Herald, they would scarcely
know their old hunting grounds. I'M
migration has poured in from all Sec
tons. The wigwam of the Indian has
gwen place to churches and schools and
stores and newspaper offices. At
Tongue river, where Gen. Miles was en-
camped in 1861, there is a town with
a population of nearly 1000 inhabitants.
The battlefields Of the heroic Custer are
farms, and cattle Craze on the plains
and hillsides where the saddest, blood
lest of our Indian tragedies were so re-
Gently enacted. This generation is IA
miliar with the rapid growth of towns
and cities in what we love to call the
Great West, but this settlement of the
Yellowstone in 50 short time is a
marvel. 1t was only yesterday, as it
were, that we printed the details of the
battle and massacre that plunged a
whole country in morning, and to-day
our correspondent tells us Of the open
ing of banks, the erection Of theaters
OF courts and judges and police. The
Yellowstone valley is forever lost to the
Indian. The blood Of Custer and his
heroes was a terrible price to pay for it;
but, after all, they died in a noble
cause. Our western country is the
great monument of the heroes of our
army, and their names will be forever
cherished as the martyrs of our civiliza-

There's beautiful face in the silent air
Which follows me ever and near,
With smiling eyes and amber hair.
With voiceless lips. yet with breath OF prayer
That feel but cannot hear,
The dmpled hand and ringet of gold
Lie low in d marble sleep:
| stretch my hand for clasp of old,
But the empty air is strangely cold,
And my vigil alone keep.
There's sinieSs brow with a radiant crown,
And a cross laid down in the dust;
There's smile where never shade comes no"
And tears no more from the dear eyes now,
So sweet in their innocent trust
All, well! And Summer is come again,
Singing her same old song;
But oh, it sounds like thr0b or pam,
AS it floats in the sunshine and the RAIN
Ger the hearts of the worlds great throng
There's beautiful region above the skies,
And long to reach its shore,
For know shall find my treasure there,
The laughing eyes and amber hair
or the loved one gone before.
