Since there isno prospect of Dakota,
being divided during the present ses.
ion of congress. ii is to be hoped that
the bill will pass providing for an ex.
preston OF the sentiments of the PEG.
pie of the whole territory as to the
three propositions. viz: division OH
the 10th parallel, division on the Mis-.
souri, River and admission of the whole
rs IL state. Should Il test be made OF
this question we predict that the anti.
,iiNi-ionists will feel very lonely after
election. Congress will know, for once
what Dakota wants.

Replying to Mr.. Dick.


In your valuable paper of March 5tll, i
find my name brought i'll question rela-
tive to some glandered horses, left in my
charge, of which case Mr.. Dick cndeayors
to make an explanation reiative to de-
sposing of them. lie says: "By order Of
the board ofhealtll, DR.. Porteous and my
self visited the premises of Mr.. Lloyd's
on Feb. End to make investigation in re-
gard to several alleged cases of glander-
ed horses" and proceeds to say they
found two carcasses on the premises that
had died from glanders. This is not a
correct statement, as distinctly told Mr..
Dick that one of these horses was kicked
By another and died from the effects,
The other died from inflammation. told
Mr.. Dick that | would bury these horses
myselfwhcn weather permitted, but Mr..
Dick buried these carcasses along with
the g!iindercd ones, charging these two
with the others to the county. Notwith-
standing this Mr.. Dick asserts that he
did not coyct the disposing of glandered
horses and would rather the owner be
compelled 10 bury them. l cannot EN-
dorse the former saying as he acted con-
trary to his own assertion. Mr.. Dick
brought men and teams from Cavalier to
perform the work. If he did not think
it a paying business why did he DO that?
My son offered to bury the horses for
twenty-five dollars. Mr.. Dick thought
that an exhorbitant demand and put a
false statement in the paper regarding
that. lie said my son offered to burn
them for that. but he made no such offer.
On the contrary he forbade them being
burned there. In conclusion would say
that can prove any statement that l
have here made. Yours truly,
Cavalier, ID. 7. JOIN LLOYD.

Through your valuable paper may
call the attention of our board of county
commissioners to what think is al abuse
Of power and reckless manner in
issuing warrants by our justices of the
peace; that is, in petty cases, running UP
COSTS in eases that never ought to be taken
up. Ordinary intelligence and little
inquiry before issuing these warrants
would certainly prevent a heavy expense
to the tax payer and save great deal Of
unflirness &c individuals. In the heat of
passion or in petty revenge, a complain
ant goes to justice and swears out q
complaint on some trivial thing. The
justice too readily issues the warrant.
On that complaint, without an inquiry,

Luck W.. Effort.

A king in the East said to his min
lister one day as they were convers-
ing over something
DO you believe in luck r
i do, said the minister.
Can you prove il? said the king.
Yes. ! can, said the minister.
So one night he tied to the ceiling
of room parcel containing peas
mixed with diamonds, and let in two
men, one of whom believed in luck,
the other in human effort alone. The
former quietly laid himself down;
the latter, after series of efforts,
reached the parcel, and feeling in the
dark the peas and stones, ate the
former one by one, and threw down
the latter to his companion saying :
Here are the stones for your idle
ness.
The man below received them in
his blanket.
In the morning the king and the
minister came to the room and babe
each to take to himself what he had
got. The man of efforts found he
had nothing beyond the peas he had
eaten, the man of luck walked quietly
away with the diamonds. The min
lister said to the king:
Sire, there is such thing as luck;
but it is as rare as peas mixed with
diamonds. So / would say, Let
none hope to live by luck

JAMEs wHIrcoMp RILEY.

Here's his ragged roundabout
Turn the pockets inside out;
See; his penknIfe, lost TO use,
Rusted shut with apple-iuice;
Here, with marbles, top and string
Is his deadly s.deyil-sling,r
With its rubber, limp at last
As the sparrows Of the past.
Beeswax- buckles-leather straps
Bullets and Il box of caps,-
Not thing Of all, ! guess.
But betrays some wayWardness-
Fen these tickets, blue and red,
For the Bible verses said
Such as this his mem'ry kept
Jesus wept."
Here a fishing-hook and line,
Tangled up with wire and twlne,
And dead angle-worms ond some
Slugs of lead and chewinggum,
Blent with scents that can but come
From the oil of shodium.
Here--a soiled, yet dainty note,
That some little sweetheart wrote,
Dotting-'Vine grows round the stump
And-My sweetest sugar lump.
Wrapped in this-a paddock key
Where he's filed touch-hole-sees
And some powder in quill
Corked up with liver pill:
And q spongy little chunk.

Here's the little coat-but Oh!
Where's he we've censured so!
Don't you hear us calling, dear!
Back! Come back, and never fear
You may wander where you Will,
Over orchard, field and hill;
You may kill the birds, or do
Anything that pleases you,
All, this empty coat of his
Every latter worth kiss!
Every stain is pure instead
AS the white stars overhead;
And the pockets-home were they
or the little hands that play
Now no more-but, absent, thus
Beckon us.
