United States Senator Morrill,, of
Vermont, is described as "a man of
ponderous, though shapely, form, of
grave aspect and looks the pillar of
state indeed. He is the tariff heavy
weight. He speaks slowly and DELHI
erately, as though choosing words with
great care, although he seems to have
his subject well in mind, and to be
ever ready with the proof for all asser-
tons. He is generally sure of Mr..
Beck for an auditor, for the tariff is
one of that gentleman's. pet sore
spots; and Senators Edmunds and
Anthony, who are his near neighbors
and chums, always give him respect
full hearing, though it seems to me to
be done as matter of duty. Other
senators apparently prefer TO read up
the Record after it is printed, as in most
other cases."

that in this world of adulterated medicines there
is one compound that proves and does all it ad.
vertises to do, and more. Four years ago had a
slight shock of palsy, which unnerved me to such
an extent that the least excitement would make
me shake like the ague. Last May was induced

not see any change; another did so change my
nerves that they are now steady as they ever
were. 1t used to take both hands to write, but
now my good right hand writes this. Now, if
you continue TO manufacture as honest and good
an article as you do, you will accumulate an
honest fortune, and confer the greatest blessing

WEDNESDAY. Jan. %.

SeI,ate.-Immediately after the reading of the
journal, Cameron, of Wisconsin submitted reso-
buttons common orative of the late Senator Car
penter, as follows:
ResoIUed That the senate be directed to trans
NIT to the family of the deceased and also to the
governor of Wisconsin, a certified copy of these
resolutions, with statement of the action of the
senate thereon.
ReSolred That the secretary of the senate
communicate these resolutions to the house of
representatives.
The entire morning was spent by Sens. Gamer
on, Garland, Logan, Kellogg, Bayard, Edmunds
and others in eulogizing the deceased.
Rouse-The senate bill permitting Associate
Justice Ward Hunt of the United States supreme
court to retire, was taken from the speakers ia
bic for present consideration.
Mr.. Reid explained the provisions of the bill,
and then yielded the floor to Townsend, of Him
ois, who opposed it, first--because it would set
dangerous precedent, and second, because he re-
garded it as a reflection on the high tribunal to
presume that one of its members would, for a
pecuniary consideration, be induced to do what
was his duty to the people to do.
Nearly the whole forenoon was taken up in the
discussion of the bill some twenty members Join
ing in the debate. The bill was finally put upon
It's passage, and was cOncurred in by vote of
1877 to SO.
Business was then suspended, and the house
paid tribute of respect to the memory of the
late senator. Matt II. Carpenter.

Correspondence Inter-0cean.

Mr.. Addison Leech, of Erie, Pa. has
one of the finest farms in Dakota-and
that means one of the finest in the
world-about sixteen miles south of
Fargo, on the line of the projected rail
road that will some day split the Terri
tory of Dakota across from its north
east to its southwest corner, and con-
meet Fargo and the Northern Pacific
with the Black Hills and Union Pacific.
The line is graded as far as Grand Rap
ids, and the iron will be laid that far
this fall. Next year it is proposed to
extend it to the Missouri river, some
where near the mouth of the Cannon
Ball and the Standing Rock Indian
Agency, and in five years time it will
reach the Black Hills, in case the set
Element of the country continues as
rapidly as it is now going on.
Mr.. Leech has erected an elevator
on the line of this road to hold the
grain until the iron is laid and the cars
are running, so as to avoid transporta-
ton by wagon such long distance
He proposes to erect five more next
year, as the enormous increase in the
acreage of wheat seems to warrant the
investment

acres of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company at s. or 81 an acre, on long
tune; and, perhaps, take a ''tree claim"
for another $50 acres. He can break
his land odd days during the year, and
the next spring, after returning
from the pineries, can SOW it to
wheat, when harvest comes he can
hire 1t harvested and threshed, without
going to the expense of buying ma

by paying $3.50 an acre, which he can
easily borrow, if he hasn't earned it;
and thereafter he will be able to take
care of himself and get an income of
from s., 900 to S3,0O0a year by the cul-
tivation ofhis land. On a stree claim"
he has to break five acres the first year,
five more the second, and plant the
ten acres with trees, either by seed or
cuttings, the third. At the end of eight
years II he has ten acres of trees grow
ing he can get an absolute title. The
land becomes valuble so rapidly, how
ever, that tree claims are generally
abandoned, and claimants get title at
oace by 'scrippipg' it, or paying for it
in soldiers scrip, which costs 81 per
acre.
