DAKOTA has made rapid progress since
1870. 1t had no railroad then, but six
lines are now being built, and there will
be six hundred miles done before New
Years. 1t had then abou. IA 900 popuia-
ton; now the number is about 1000.
Three fourths of its territofy is said to pc
the best wheat land out of doors. Com
gress will be asked to ordar an enumera,
tion population, which will be made
the basis of An application for admission
as State. Dakota has an area of 150-
900 square m miles-three times the terri
tory of New York State, and greater than
that of England, Wales, Scotland and
Ireland com bined, or than that of Italy.
or than the areas of Turkey in Europe,
Greece, Servia, Belgium, Netherlands
and Denmark combined, which have
nearly twenty millions of people, Pro-
baby it will be proposed .hat this extern
sive domain be divided into parts suitable
for new States at some future time. The
Black II ills have been great incentive
to the growth ofDakota.

SOME of the Michigan people are OK,
citing themselves over what they call the
" discovery u that the whole peninsula
which contains that State is ahoat on an
Underground sea, of which surrounding
lakes are the visible portions. In proof
of this extraordinary theory it is held that
untathomable lakes abound in all parts
of Michigan with inlets, but without any
perceptible outlet; that strange fishes
have been imported to stock some of
these lakes, and have shortly been found
in others; and that some lakes have
sprung aleaH and are Disappearing, as if
the bottom had dropped out.

DIR. JAEGER, of Stuttgart, Germany. has
been making fresh investigation into the
subject of the human nose. He finds that
the human nose is the seat Of the soul,
and that the workings Of the latter are re-
corded on the surface of the former also
by the use of certain volatalizing chemi-
cas- In the nostris specific traits of char
acter can be produced or changed. No
body knows what DIR. jaeger knows of the
human nose, and he knows less than he
thinks he knows about his nose, il he is
disposed to suppose that his soul is in his
nose, and so exposed whenever he blows
his nose.

OPINION OF GoRHAM.-The New York
Tribune says: The amount of talk which
is devoted to the question of removing
Geo. G. Gorham from the National Re.

is to drop him suddenly, and drop him

The Dead Prince.

The last sad scenes connected with the
funeral OF Prince Imperial Napoleon of France
are ended, and his body now lies in the little
church of st. Mary's in Chiselhurst, Eng.
land, by the side of the remains of his father.
From the landing of the remains at Wool
witch on Friday to the time of their inter
ment, the crowds in attendance were i'm.
mense, including many noted Londoners,
and on every hand were heard words of deep
sympathy for the doubly bereft mother. A,
Woolwich the Prince of Wales, Duke OF
Connaught, Prince Teck, Duke of Cambridge
and the crown prince of Sweden assisted
at the identification of the remains. The
escort with the body started for Chiselhurt
at six Friday evening, many thousands Of
spectators lining the route. Immense crowds
of people witnessed the arrival of the pro
cession at Chselhurst.
The ex-Empress Eugene did not visit the
coffin until three o'clock Saturday morning
She remained over it in an agony of gre
until seven o'clock, when she fell asleep an,
was removed to her chamber. At clever
O'Clock the funeral took place, the pall-bear
ers being the Prince of Wales, Duke o
Edinburgh, Duke of Connaught, and thu
Crown Prince of Sweden. In addition Il
the list of royal personages, the following
were present: Princess Beatrice, Princes
of Wales, Prince Christian, Prince Edwar'
Of Saxe-Weimer. The Russian, German
and Danish ambassadors were present in
body, and the British ministry was repre-
sented. 1t is estimated that the variou
sympathizers brought bouquets and wreath
sufficient to fill two vans to place on tn
grave. An immense wreath from Quee
Victoria was carried on the coffin, whic
was invisible because of the mass of flower
Prince Jerome Bonaparte and sons followe
the coffin. The procession was three-qua
tiers of mile long.

Truth, Happily Expressed.

The following timely and healthful truths,
clothed in the attractive garb of pure die.
ton and captivating eloquence, are extracted
from Senator Hoar's recent Grafton at Am
herst: " The difficult problems in our ma
tional politics at this hour will nearly all of
them be solved if the people will adhere to
rules of conduct imposed as restraints in
the early constitutions. The sublimity of
the principle OF self-government does not
consist wholly or chiefly in the idea that self
is the person who is governed. How our
race troubles would disappear if the domi'
nant Saxon would but obey in his treatment
of the weaker races the authority of the
fundamental laws on which his own institu
tions rest The problem of to-day is moi
how to convert the heather from heather
| ism, it is how TO convert the Christian from
heathenism; not to teach the physician Il
heal the patient but to heal himself. The
Indian problem is not chiefly how to teach
the Indian to be less savage in his treat
ment of the Saxon, but the Saxon to be lesl
savage in his treatment of the Indian. Tn,
Chinese problem is not how to keep Chinese
laborers out of California, but how Il
keep Chinese policies out of congress. The
negro question will be settled when the edu
cation of the white man is complete"

NOTABLE BEQuEsT.-One of the most
remarkable gifts ever made to a pub
lie library is that which the library of Gin
cinnati has lately received from John King,
a man thirty-nine years old, who has been
a cripple from his boyhood, was confined to
his bed for several years until 1878, and for
ten years past has supported himself as a
newsboy, and saved money enough to buy a
collection of nearly three thousand volumes.
He had hoped to have home of his own,
where he might enjoy his books in his de-
clining years but some considerable losses
through the dishonesty or incapacity of men
whom he trusted destroyed that hope, and
he gave his books, more than twenty five
hundred volumes, to the public library, re-
tanning few hundred for his own use. 1t
was found to be very well selected and
serviceable collection, consisting of history,
biography, philosophy, ancient and modern
literature, poetry, fiction, books of travel,
legal and medical works, scientific and re-
ligious treatises, public documents, books OF
reference, ETC. Among the old volumes is
one on natural history, published in London,
1885. The John King collection of the pub
lie library is to be still increased from time
to time, as the donor buys and goes through
his books. 1t is public monument of an
afflicted and most exemplary life.

A New DLvIcE.-The telephone is now
being made to minister to the sick. Last
week, in a church at Richmond, Va, trans
mitter was placed upon one of the pillars of
the pulpit, almost entirely hidden from sight.
A small insulated wire ran down inside the
pulpit rail and across the angle of stair,
up the wainscoting and along under the top
rail out through gimlet hole in the window
frame, and to the top of the parsonage, pas
sing down through the ventilator into the
chamber of the invalid young lady, where il
was attached to the ordinary hand telephone
Imperceptibly to all around, the little instru
ment did its work, conveying to the ear Of
the patient sufferer the sounds of the vel
known voice in the pulpit, for the first tim,
in long years. OF course the reverend doctor
was anxious during the morning sermon, a
his thoughts reverted to the distant listener
to know If she heard, and his pleasure ma,
be imagined when he learned that the entir'
service, sermon, prayers, hymns, organ anc
singing had been audible to the person TO
whose comfort the arrangement had BEEF

Latest Grant RumOr.

There is both good sense and good policy
in the rumored decision of General Grant to
visit both Australia and South America be-
fore his return, which he now expects will
be in June, 1880, at which date the question
Of the next Republican candidate for the
presidency will have been settled. If he
wants the nomination, he couldn't possibly
do a shrewder thing than to keep out Of
the entanglements of the preliminary can
vass nor can he properly round out his for
eign journey without visiting those countries.
And Australia in particular-for no where
outside of our own country have such rapid
advances been made during the last half.
century as in Australia. At our late cen
tennial exhibition, as all visitors will recall,
Australia astonished the rest of the exhibit
ors by the extent and variety Of her display.
Aud just now she is getting ready for the
exposition which is to be held at Melbourne
next year, and the preparations indicate
that she has entered heart and soul into the
undertaking. The authorities Of Victoria,
as an earnest of their interest in the success
Of the exposition, have conceived a scheme
which is worthy of the most energetic of
the children Of Uncle Sam himself. They
purpose, says the Philadelphia Ledger, "to
transfer almost bodily our most celebrated
establishment to Melbourne or to duplicate
it, furnishing land, buildings, aud all ordin.
airy labor if its proprietors will consent to
the reproduction and duplicate erection
there" There's enterprise for you Let
the reader reflect upon the proportions Of
the main building of the centennial exposi
ton and they will understand the magni
tude of the task which Victoria has under
taken.
Australia was wonderfully benefited by
our centennial exposition. 1t was indeed
to her liberal education. She kept hei
eyes and ears wide open and made the mos
of her opportunities for finding out hel
deficiencies and how to overcome them
Her own exposition of next year will un
doubtedly fall behind its predecessors il
certain departments, but it is sure to be ex
celent as whole and to have features o.
unsurpassed interest. A large space ha
been reserved for the United States, and al
though the distance is so great, it is to b.
hoped that our merchants and manufacturer
will make light of it and see to it that the,
are adequately represented. Up to thi
time some two hundred intending exhibitor
have been announced from various parts o
America, Philadelphia leading with abou
fifty of its principal manufacturing estat
lishments. This is promising beginning

COOP REsULTs.-We are beginning to
get at the results of the Southern exodus.
W. II. Harrison, president of the Migration
Association of New Orleans, writing from
Topeka, Kansas, says the people who have
gone to that state from the South "are all
doing right WELL" and that a " little money
is necessary to begin with" Peyton Ran
dolph, Louisiana emigrant to Kansas,
writes that people from the South should
not go there empty-handed, If they can help
it, lie adds awhile the kind.hearted
white people and colored people, as a gen
eral thing, in the state of Kansas are trying
to do all they can to help us, we must help
or try to help ourselves" Reports from va
rious sections in the South show that more
emigrants are preparing to leave, and along
the Mississippi the blacks are leaving every
where Lamar, who has returned TO Wash
ington, says the exodus fever instead of dy-
ing out is increasing in his state. By the
way, did Mr.. Lamar do anything during the
regular or extra session TO render the condi
ton OF the negro more secure in the South
Mr.. Lamar should feel no surprise to see
that the blacks are tired Of bull-dozing, rifle
clubs and the Mississippi plan generally.
