KNOCKING reR ADMISSION.

Three or four Territories are now
knocking at the door of the Union for
admission. These are, Washin gton,
Utah, Wyoming and. New Mexico.
Each and all of these. Territories have
much larger population than Nevada,
which was admitted. into the Union for
party purposes, when the number of its
inhabitants did not exceed 10000.
Utah has the largest population of any
OF the Territories now seeking admis-
sion as State. but, in consequence of
polygany, the wishes OF its citizens are
not likely to be gratified. The Govern
ment permits that peculiar institu-
ton" to flourish in a Territory where
the laws are enforced by United States
officers; but those who are to a great
extent responsible FOR its existence hold
up their hands in holy horror and trom-
bic at the idea of the Territory in which
it exists becoming State. They per-
NIT law of Congress, enacted sixteen
years ago for the suppression of polyga-
my, to remain dead letter upon the
statutes without attempting to enforce
it, The United States army and an
unlimited number of United States
marshals have been employed in States
{ the Union to enforce the law, but in
Ctah Territory the Federal officers
wink at the violation of the statute
against polygamy. The reason of this
may be found in the fact that the States
in which the army and marshals have
been employed have electoral and con
gressional votes, while Utah, being a
Territory, has neither. Wyoming Ter
ritory ranks next to Utah in population
and resources, and as polygamy is not
tolerated there, there is no valid excuse
for keeping it out Of Union Of which
Nevada is a member. The same may
be said of all the Territories, with the
exception, perhaps, of Arizona, as
Montana, Dakota, Idaho aud New Mex
leo have each as large ~ population as
Nevada had when it became State.
But the questions of population and
resources are not taken into considera-
ton when new States are admitted, as
the principal object with the majority
il Congress at the time OF the admis-
sion of new Stateis to strengthen the
party Of the majority That was the
case when Nevada was admitted, and
undoubtedly it will be the case with
the present Congress, as the Democratic
majority will be governed by che pre-
cedent established by the Republicans,
except in the. case of Utah, which
neither party seems disposed to admit,
until polygamy is abolished within its
limits. Three years ago, when one
branch of Congress was Republican,
and the other Democratic, Colorado
was admitted as a State; but both
parties expected to profit politically by
its admission. The Republicans were
not disappointed, as the electoral vote
OF the State, with that of the disputed
States of South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana gave Hayes one majority in
the electoral count. Now if the Dem
ocrats admit Montana and New Mexi-
co, it is possible that their electoral
votes may again decide the Presidency.

The late inundatioa Of the great.plain
of Murcia, in Spain, washing away four
ffths Of the surface SOIL cutting it INTO
assures, destroying orchards, buildings,
vineyards, and gardens: and drowning
5000 people, might, it issasserted, have
been avoided if the range OF mountains
to the north had not been denuded OF
their trees. Had the original forests
remained, they would have absorbed .,
large portion OF the sudden rainfall and
saved the plain from overflow. The
floods last. summer at S2egedin, IN
Hungary, are traeeable to the same
cause. The neighboripg highlands were
left shorn Of the trees, without the
power of either attracting or absorbing
rains.

TIE Fathers story Of little Charley
Ross, containing full account of his
abduction and the various incidents con
nected with the search for the lost child
is full OF interest from the beginning tc
the end. 1t is worldwide story, one
which touches with a peculiar interest
every parents heart. No book Of fiction
could be more interesting to the reader.
As we now for the first time read the sad
story Of the boy over whose mystery mil
lions Of hearts have wept and ached, we
feel that we have the facts in truthful de.
tail, and with perfect accuracy. The
successful abduction and continued con.
cealment Of the unfortunate child, has
caused the name of Charley Ross to be
known in almost every household in the
land, and in a measure, he has become
the child Of the people. Whatever dark
ness still enshrouds this case, and how
ever hopeless it may appear to others,
Christ tian X. Ross still continues the per.
sistent, eager pursuit for his missing boy.
His time, his energies, his thoughts, and
ali his means have been entirely devoted
to this object. And he still has the same
unchanged purpose before him in the
future. Leaving the ninety apd nine "safe
in the fold" still looking for the zone
that is not" Only those who try to put
themselves in his place, by imagining the
little one they so ten :erly love snatched
from them, can in any degree understand
his feelings when he says his lifc's work
is to seek and to find the lost cne Of his
household. y
The book will be sent by mail to any
person sending 81 80 to Christian X. Ross,
Room No. II, Commercial Exchange,
Philadelphia. The work is not only
very interesting and we'll worth the
but every purchaser assists Mr..
Ross to the extent Of the profit on the
book, to continue his work of trying to
find his boy. While life lasts he will
devote all his time to the unraveling of
this mystery. Help him, dear reader:

Growing Old.

What is it to grow old? q subtle change
That steals upon us, unawares, and strange;
TO miss, some day, and miss forever thence,
The quick perception Of the perfect sense;
To learn, that no tomorrow can restore,
The full, fresh vigor, of the days Of yore:
| Life's bounding tide grown sluggish, thin, and
cold,
Fading, and failing! This is growing old!
| What is it to grow old? 1t is to stand,
| Like some lone traveller, on height Of land;
| Thence, sadly gazing, trace the pathway back,
BY the dear graves that lie along the track.
There, lie the fond companions of your youth;
Here, rests the dust Of loyalty and truth;
Kindred and friends are gone; remains alone,
To seal the sepulchre, and set the stone.
What is it to grow old2 To lose your place,
Jostled aside in LIES unhalting race;
No room for tagging feet, or weary brain,
The gap fills up, the ranks press on again.
Or, it's to see gallant fleet sail by,
Canvass all spread and pennons streaming
high,
Waited with cheers and blessings from the
strand,
And you wreck, left, bleaching, on the sand! !!
What is it to grow old? Oh saddest yet,
To lose the past-for age must cen forgetl
To grope, bewildered, with dull, dead pain,
Through the dim visions that confuse the
brain;
To pore DER memory's bleared and blotted
book,
And fail to know the things, whereon you look;
Alas, when all the treasured lore of years,
In blank oblivion sinks, and disappears!
What is it to grow old? Oh christian soul,
1t is but speeding to thy wished for goal;
Leaving behind the turmoil and the din,
The strife and weariness, the pain and sin!
Drop from the folded hands the weights of
care;
A sunset stiffness fills the tranquil air;
Below, the night grows dark; but lift thine
eyes,
And 10, what glory crowns the opening skies!
What is it to grow old? It is, to come,
Almost in sight of the celestial home;
To catch, sometimes, across tho narrow line,
Gumpses inehable, Of things divine.
In calm expectance, on the tranquil shore,
To wait the messenger that bears US DER;
While earth's dim twilight fades and melts
away,
In the clear sunrise Of eternal dayl

Austin and tho Southern NllnResOta
Railroad.

Austin aud tho Southern N1inne sofa
Railroad.
For some weeks past the city Of Austin
Minnesota, has been agitating the subject
of having the track Of the Southern Min.
ncsota rail road run in to that city. As is
we'll know to a majority of our readers,
the Austin station on the Southern Min
nesota road is now at Ramsey, neccssi-
tat;ng either a change of cars or a ride of
three miles in stage. The expectation
entertained by the proprietors of the
railroad Of building up village at RAM
sey, has not been realized to any protita.
BILE degree, and it is a matter of mutual
interest to the people and the corporation
to make their facilities for doing business
as convenient and economical as possible.
This general feeling or the part of the
people of Austin took the form of a pub
lie meeting which was held on Monday
night last, in the courthouse, and which
was presided over by Mayor Van Valken'
burgh, and attended by the substantial
and enterprising citizens in full force.
The result of the meeting was to agree to
ask legislation, emitting the city of Austin
to issue bonds to the amount of $1,000
to be used for railroad purposes. 1t is
not expected that over one-third OF this
amount will be required to arrive at an
agreement with the Southern Minnesota
company, but authority is desired to issue
bonds for the purpose of offering induce.
ments to the Illinois Central company, if
the citizens should decide so to do. At
the conclusion ofthe meeting committee
was appointed to communicate with Gen.
eral Manager Myers, which was at once
done by telegraph and reply received
that Mr. Myers would meet the committee
in person during the week. 1t is to
be hoped that the contempla ted arrange
ment will be concluded, as it will con.
duce in a marked degree to the welfare
of Austin and the comfort and convent

Salaries of County Officers.

Several bills are before the Legislature
for the reduction of salaries Of county
officers, and there is no doubt that some
one bill will be agreed upon and passed.
There is no question but some of the SAL
aries should be cut down. Much judg.
ment and discretion, however, should be
used. We do not believe public officers
should be paid niggardly salaries. In
this county the Register Of Deeds is the
best paying Office. We think it would
be wise to reduce the fees for recording,
thereby bene6ting the general public,
and then limit the salary to $2,5O0, the
overplus, if any, to be paid into the coun.
ty treasury. We think it ought not to 60
below that amount, as out of his salary
he has to pay his clerks, and portion of
the year he has two, and one all the time.
The County Auditor is the hardest worked
officer in the county, and, in our opinion,
his salary shauld not be placed at lower
figure than 81 500, and a proper allowance
for clerk hire. No really competent man
should be asked to take 1t for less Under
the law as it now stands, we are informed
by Auditor Mcintyre, thls official the
coming two years would be entitled to
about $1,000 per annum. For the past
two years Mcintyre has received 1850
per year, and we believe he has we'll
earned every farthing of it, The County
Treasurer, taking into account his respon-
sibilltles, we think is poorly paid. For
the year 1875 he received but $1,574.97.
lie ought to have at least $4,000, as out of
his salary he has to pay all expenses OF
clcrk-hire. The Clerk of the Court COL
lected and charged up in fees last year
$1,7G7.S4, but more than half of the
amount stillstands on his books
uncollectcd. That so large a proper.
tion of his salary is "trusted out'
should be taken into account by the Leg
islature in reducing hia fees. The Sheriff
received $2,227.75 in fees last year. His
is hard place, he has to be out ln all
kinds of weather, and furnish his own
conveyance. A limit in his case to about
$4,000 would be about fair, we should
