Now Deal In the Dakota Matter.

q Washington dispatch:-It is said that
the democrats from Dakota have quietly
agreed on compromise OH the question OF
admission which will be submitted in few
days. They propose that vote shall be
taken next November on the following
propositions: =.
First, shall the territory be divided on
the 46th parallel; second, shall it be divid-
ed on the Missouri river; third, shall the
whole territory be admitted as
state, or shall South Dakota. be ad-
mitted at this general election. 1t is pro-
posed that delegates be elected all over the
territory to meet in convention and carry
out the will Of the majority OF the people.
Thus North Dakota would be represented
i in convention, and il a majority OF votes
cast should not be for either division, and
should be in favor OF the admission OF the
whole territory, the convention could go
on and frame a constitution to submit to
Congress-. If the majority should be in
favor of admission on the 46th parallel,
delegates from North Dakota could with
draw, aud these representing South Dakota
would be ready to 60 on and adopt con-
stitution. It ia thought that this Is the
only measure on admission likely to pass
both houses of Congress at this session.

SONS The explanation is very simple The
circulation is through two sets of blood yes
sells, arteries and veins, both obtaining their
motive power from the heart acting as
force-pump Alcohol increases the pulsa-
tiuns, and as the blood is sent from the
heart to the extremities faster than the
veins can take it up and return it, conges-
ton results, and the nose, being a remote
portion of the circulation, reddens and
finally becomes diseased This, however, is
not different from other organs Of the
body all are congested and similarly dis
eased by alcohol The best remedy is to
discontinue the alcohol and stimulate the
absorption of the blood by the frequent ap
piication of cloths wrung out of hot water. p

telegram was received one afternoon an
nouncing q fire at country house eight
miles oil, and asking for immediate assist
ance. The brigade were enickly mustered
at the Guidhail, but more than an hour
elapsed before the engine left. as there were
no horses, and when ut last it did start it
was drawn by four jaded cab-horses, the
spectacle exciting the utmost derision in the
city, as the bruBes, not understanding their
position, kept plunging and rearing, and
the engine came to a dead halt, until an
obliging trooper of the Fourth hussars was
good enough to mount one of the leaders,
md he succeeded in getting them off; but
they did not arrive at the scene of the fire
till the flames had been extinguished by the
jealous efforts of the people of the neighbor-

justified in looking for thoroughly we'll
