of land. This statement he said, untrue
The gentleman referred to- is only the owner of
the land on which his father died, and to which
he has added little in his own State, Illinois.
Abiding to the same matter, Mr.. Logan said:
''The statement is utterly false. do not pro
pose to give a schedule Of my property to any
body, but the property do own is in the State
of Illinois. do own some two or three tracts of
land, but all put together would not make a
hundredth part of what they charge"

ileges and elections from further consideration
of the House bill on the electoral count, and
ordered "a committee of conference on it.

oCToROONs IN NEW ORLEANS.

There is in New Orleans a
rase and distinct race which
is no race. 1t has its one
hand upon the whites and the
other upon the blacks, and it
occupies a position betwiXt
and between. belonging to
both and to neither. The
whites refuse to acknowledge
them, and they hold them
selves so far above the blacks
that they will acknowledge no
relationship with them. Like
the bat, they are neither bird
nor the animal, but occupy a
position entirely distinct, and
a very lonesome one it is.
These are the octoroons,
which in New Orleans means
not only person whose blood
is one-eighth negro, but all of
that class who are almost
white, but i'll whom negro
blood is perceptible. Down
here they don't say negro
blood-it is negro faint"
They are not white enough
forthe white nor black enough
for the negro. Their posi-
ton, especially that of the
women of the race, is very
peculiar. No matter how
white an octoroon girl may be
a white man may not mari,
her. She may be as beautiful as
Venus and accomplished in
every possible way; she may
sing like Patti and paint like
Rosa Bonheur, but no white
man wouldmarry her. would
be ostracism former and for him
also. She couldnot be received
in society and he-would find
himself on the wrongside of the
wallat once. The lawis fixed

Not long ago a little vol

Don't" pretended to guide
awkward youths through the
intricacies of social life. Since
then several other effusions
of a similar kind have con-
tinued the work of education
comm ence ID by Don't
Someare dedicatedt to the world
at large: others apparently to
roughs and urchins, and the
last, "What to Do" a worthy
companion to some of it's pre-
decessors, is written for mar
ried women. Some of these
commandments are as follows:
Do remember that you are
married to a man and not to a
god; beprepared for imperfec-
tons.
Do anticipate the discovery
by your husband that you are
''only woman ; if you were
not he would not care about
you.
Do, oncei in a while, let your
husband have the last word ;
it will GRITTY him and be no
particular loss to you.
Do be reasonable; it is a.
great deal to ask under some
circumstances, but do try :;
reasonable women are rare :;
be rare.
Do remember that servants
are made of the same material
as you are, a little coarser-
grained, perhaps, but the same
in essentials.
Do try and forget yourself !;
as for your husband, forget
that you married him and re-
member that he married you !;
he will then probably do the
reverse.
Do let him read the news.
paper at the breakfast table !;
it is unsociable, but then it's
only a tl'ife after all, and he
likes it.
Do let him know more than
you do once in awhile: it
keeps up his self-respect, and
you will be none the worse
for admitting that you are not
actually infallible.
Dorememberthat the interest
of life is not centered in your
home circle; do familiarize
yourself in outside events.
Some English scientists
have been trying to explain
why it is that persons who
become lost a fog or who are,
for any reason, unable to see
their way, usually walk in a
circle instead of following a
straight line, w. Larden
thinks that the cause may be
found in the strength of the
legs, the stronger of the two
outwalking the other when
not controlled by the will. In

son needed relief.
He has accomplished more for Dakota
than any other delegate in congress
from this territory. He has been recog.
nized and sustained by every branch Of
the administration, and had accom-.
plished, or is in fair way to accomplish,
every undertaking.
As the Journal has before remarked
there is no harder or more effective
worker in congress or one who under.
stands better how, when and where to
strike for the interests of Dakota.
He does not allow any man to think
for him or to pull strings and clam nc.
tion upon his part, but moves forward
doing bis whole duty, as he sees his duty
and is as ready to assist in any proper
way those of his constituents who seek
to slaughter him politically as he is to
do for those who are devoted to him.
He is representative man who can
treat all men as they deserve and do his
whole duty BY all men and it would be a
shame and q reproach to the republican
party of the territory were be to be de
feated for reelection.
