Territorial omcers.

A recent number of Descriptive America con
tains the following valuable article on govern
ors of Dakota, since the organization of the
territory; civilian Jayne, 1S61-6S; Newton
Edmunds, 1896; Andrew ]. Faux 1S66-69;
John A Burbank, 1904; John L Pennington
1S74-7S; William A. Howard, 1850. N. G.
Ordway was appointed in 1880, and his term
expired May % 1884, but he held on till the
appointment Of Gilbert A. Pierce, Of Illinois,
June 20, 1884. OF the ex-governor all survive
except Hon William A.. Howard, whose mem
DRY IS held In the most sincere regard and
highest esteem of any citizen of the terri
tory has ever had. He was great in ability,
wise by the best experience, and lofty in
character as he was firm in action. He went TO
Dakota to end a life of usefulness, in forming
q great community upon the best basis, and to
this he gave the most disinterested service in
every relation. Ex-Gov. Edmunds remains a
citized of Yankton, a successful banker and
business man, and esteemed in all the councils
of the people. He has served in several posi-
tons under the United States, and particularly
has been trusted by the government and Indi-
ans in negotiating important treaties. Ex-.
Governors Faux and Pennington remain in
Yankton in successful business,
Among the secretaries of the territory, III on,
S, l. Sphinx, who died in 1880; General
Edward s. McCook, who was assassinated in
September, 1878; and Hon. George II. Hand,
who longest held that place and remains e
citizen of the territory, were held in high es-
TEEN for their services and character; as is
the pre- ent incumbent, Hon. James III, Teller.
The chief justices have been Philemon
Bliss, now in Missouri; Asa Bartlett, now 10
Kansas; George w. French, how in Maine;
Peter @. Shannon, now resident in Dakota, and
General A. ]. Edgerton, the presentincumbent,
who was late United States Senator from the
State of Minnesota.

Dio Lewis reaches the conclusion
that consumption is found in every eli
mate. Inhabitants Of the frozen region,
and those who live under the equator,
die of consumption. AS to the United
States, there is no doubt that New
England has the largest ratio of NOR
tally from consumption. But the diff
ference is slight, and is probably &C
counted for by. her immense cotton,
wooden, and other great factories, and
her very close houses, and by the hered-
itary tendency in families.

Speaking of people who raise an
alarm of cholera over common summer
complaints, the New York Sun says:
"When epidemic cholera visits a coun-
try it takes care TO make its presence
known beyond a doubt, without the aid
of premature alarmists." It is well
known that many people have been sub
jected to cholera from fright alone-or
rather, fright was the prcdisposiag
cause. The effects Of anxiety and ter
o can scarcely be exaggerated. Even
IN times of real danger it will be well
to remember the moral conveyed in the
old coupled:
s'The coward dies a thousand deaths;
The brave man dies at once"

SOME three weeks since n young

of Garrett and Poe, came to town
with considerable money, and con-
cluded to have a good time. Like
unto many others, his conception
OF q good time was to fill up with
liquor. which he did. and the effect
was not only to intoXicate. but to
turn his BRAN to the extent of de-
lerium, and while in that condition
hc uiinlessly wandered out into the
country. and when reason resumed
its sea, Le found himself near the

ten, aud system completely broken

it is hoped that he will be but par
tally crippled. He says that his
late experience has caused Il disso-
