The Legislature has made an apportion-
ment of the congressional districts of the
State under the new order of things, which
gives to Michigan eleven congressman. The
first live districts in the southern.part of the
State, remain the same as they were. The
changes have been i'll the northern and more
rapidly growing portion of the State; no
district has been so formed that any two of
the present members are located in the same
district. According to the vote given for
congressman in 1880, the Republicans have a
handsome working majority in every dis
trict, except the first, composed of Wayne
county, in which at the last election the Re
publicans only had plurality OF ga votes.
Wayne county has heretofore usually gone
democratic, and with tina! exception, Michi-
gan can be counted on for solid Republi-
can delegation in the next congress.

POLYGAMY.
He Stands Up for His Friends ant
Foretcils the Final Triumph of
Polygamy.

l have always made 1t n point of honor
never to desert a friend when he was in adj
verse circumstances and now when they are
assailed for faith in their holy religion, /
cannot restrain myself from standing up and
fighting manfully for the faith which was
delivered by b. Young to the sanity.
A lot OF idle politicians who wanted a
hobby, have jumped upon the ''twin,' and
they are bound to ride if they break its
back. They have robbed my friends of
their seat in Congress-, and are endeavoring
to subject them to laws foreign to their in
terests; trying to disgrace them in the eyes
of the whole world and worse than all, arc
attempting to separate their families and
plunge our people in grief.
The institution of polygamy has its founda-
ton deep in the hearts of our people, and is
not easily TO be uprooted. would bid my
friends be of good cheer and trust in the
final triumph of their lovely institution.
There are 80 many mon who love more
than one woman, and their number seems
to be Increasing dH tie time, that there can
not be a reasonable doubt but that polygamy
will yet be the power which shall govern
America.
Let no fears be entertained az TO lack
of women. Should the supply fail in this
country, an inexhaustible quantity awaits de-
mand, on a foreign shore. Then take hope
fellows, and all vote our tickle. and you may
DO happy yet. BRIT.

Recently, the Messenger exposed the men
dacious manner in which the Detroit Post
ami IjibuRG unjustly attacked Hon. j. c..
Burrows, the Congressional Representative
from this district. Lately tho same guerilla
sheet attacked Senator T. w. Ferry on equal
ly unjust grounds, showing that this alleged
Republican paper il simply an enemy in dis
guise. Like Mr.. Burrows, Senator Ferry can
we'll afford to laugh at the futile efforts Of
this Detroit sore-head. The services rem
dered the Republican party by Senator Ferry
have been of too brilliant nature TO be OBJ
scured by the efforts of legion Of such

contemporary which has fought the battles

pauper into this county to champion their
cause the sooner they openly denounce him,
the better viii be their chances of reelection.

VALLEY GRANGE, NEE, March &. 1873,

VALLEY GRANGE, NEs., March g. 1882.
EDIron True NoRTHERNsR:
Thinking perhaps some of your readers
would like to hear something of the west, l
will give short sketch of western life and
our beautiful valley which il about miles
long by wide bounded on the south and
east by high rolling table lands, and the
north by the Republican river. The Drift
wood, a clear and beautiful stream, II to 20
yards in width and from to 8 feet in depth,
fringed by timber of cottonwood, boxalder,
ash and elm, running through the valley i'll n
north easterly direction, furnishes the stock
pure and wholesome supply of water. So
far, stock has proven the best, and i'll fact
the only reliable resource of this part of the
west; and right here let me say to those
contemplating coming west, if they have a
hundred or 80 dollars TO invest, they can
perhaps do well if they invest III stock, but
if they come here thinking to get rich by
farming they will get sadly left. Stock is
high here this spring-cows from $50 to $50
2-year olds ;S25 to $50; yearlings S12 to
@15; hay is plenty and no sale III conse-
quence of a light winter. Last winter was
unusually severe. stock dying off by the
thousands, hay was worth SO 10 $50 per
ton. Just at present the settlers are some
what excited over the strong prospects of the
division station of the b. q NJ. Il. Il. being
located at Fairyiew lying or 3 miles north
east of here ON the north side of the Republi-
can river. The B. & Nj. il being pushed
rapidly through TO Denver, and will probably
be completed by May OF June.

All about Kitchen Work.

A lady who for time was compelled
to do all of her own kitchen work says
If every iron pot, pan, kettle, or any
utensil used in the cooking of food, be
washed as soon as emptied, and while
still hot, half the labor will be saved" Ii
is simple habit 10 acquire, and the
washing of pots and kettles by this means
loses some of its distasteful aspect. No
lady seriously objects to washing and
wiping the crystal and silver, but to
tackle the black. greasy. and formidable
looking ironware of the kitchen takes a
good deal of sturdy Drawn and muscle
a. well as common sense.
If the range be wiped carefully with
brown paper, after cooking greasy food,
it can be kept bright with little Difficult

Stoves and ranges should be kept free
from SCOT in all compartments. A clog
ged hot-air passage will prevent any oven
from baking well.
When the draught is imperfect the
defect frequently arises from the Chin

the chimney should be built up, or a
chimney-pot added.
1t il an excellent plan for the mistress
to acquaint herself with the practical
