The Democratic members OF the
House and Senate Committee on
Territories have agreed to report the
bill for the admission to Statehood
of Dakota entire, New Mexico. Mon
tana and Washington. 1t is the ex-
pectation of these members that the
bill can be passed by both Houses
during the present session. They
urge that the Republicans will not
oppose the measure ON political
grounds, as Dakota will come In as 4
Republican State to offset the
Democracy of New Mexico, while in
Montana and Washington neither
party has decided advantage.

Invocation to Sleep.

Nights duh silences are throbbing from the
mountain to the sea,
Thou hast lulled a worlds wild tumult, yet
thou contest not to me.
Lightly on my evening pillow, Whitley on my
tired hand,
Creeps a wandering wave of moonrise, ere it
burnish all the land.
From the purple-hooded midnight star-eyes
languish into mine,
With the dew of tender memories dripping all
their downward shrine.
Till the tempted life within me swoons beneath
the sensuous rain
Swoons moment ere it futter back to wake
fui hours again.
And my soul impaled and painting 'nong the
captors pleads with thee.
That thine arms uplift and bear me safely
cross the thought-ridged sea.
Through the gates of the unreal, on whose
rare and radiant shore,
Flash unnumbered shapes of beauty. fair as
Eden ever wore.
And our lost loves walk and wander by the
waters cool and clear,
Till forgotten how the passions sweep their
sorrow-tempests here.

All on Account OF Eliza.

The proposition that all the world
loves a lover probably does not hold
good in Jacksonville now. This
whole yellow-fever business is love
affair, or the result of love affair.
Mccormick, the man who brought the
yellowfever to Jacksonville, was lover.
His sweetheart was in Tampa and
Tampa was isolated on account of yell
low-fever. But yellow-fever or no
yellow-fever Mccormick wanted to see
his girl; SO he managed to pass the
Gordon and steal an interview with
his love. Then he came back to Jack
sonFille and brought yellow-fever with
him. Surgeon General Hamilton is
authority for this short history of the
spread of yellow-fever. 1t is another
confirmation of the wisdom of the sage
who once declared there was a woman
at the bottom of every mischief

A New Dog on the Horizon.

There is new dog on the horizon,
and from his description he is most
certain to reach us here. In fashion
lately we have been going in for the
foreigner. The fox terrier has become
almost too common. japanese pugs
are too stupid. French poodles are
not to be seriously considered. There
remain the Dachshund and the Danish
mastiff. neither of them quite satisfac-
tory. The new dog halls from the Low
Countries, and is not 50 much novel
ty as a revival. He has been re-
discovered by the accident of the ex-
hibition at Brussels. Dogs were to be
an attraction there, and the great de-
sideratum was to be patriotic and, if
possible, local. Of course the milk
carrying dogs would be collected in
great force. and it seemed as if Elan
ders would have little else in the ca
nine world to rely upon. Then it was
remembered that generations ago,
when railways were scarce in the land,
there was a little black terrier called a
spitz, largely used on the canal boats
that then carried on the commerce.
and. indeed. the traffic of the Low
Countries. His chief qualities-almost
legendary that he was death on
rats and unapproachable as a watch
dog. He was a clever little fellow, too,
vivacious and attached. But railways
had driven him out. An attempt was
made to procure some for the show.
1t proved that there was plenty of life
in the old breed still. There are yet
barges and canal boats in Holland,
and they had spitz still on board. A
very good showwas got together. The
spitz became popular, and we shall, no
doubt soon see him here

ARE WOMEN FITTED TO GOVERN ?

In the current number of the Popular
Science Monthly, Prof. E. D. Cope dis
cusses the Relation of the sexes to
government" It is a pleasant variation
from the silly discussion, rs marriage a
failure?" which has for some time &C
rupied the attention of magazine read
ers. Prof. Cope concludes that in depart
ments of morals which depend on the
rior; for those which depend on the
rational nature, man is the superior, and
that when the balance is struck, he can
see no inferiority on either side. The
ssourse of reasoning which he pursues il
der TO reach this conclusion is interest,
Gag 10 follow. From youth onward" he
Gays, "men have observed in women one
peculiarly for which no remedy has been
yet found, and that Is, a pronounced
fraiIty of the rational faculty in thought
or action. This characteristic Is Offset
by strength and elevation of the emo
tional nature, which shines with inextin-
guishable lustre in the wife aud mother.
1t is to this that man renders the homage
of respect, admiration and such devotion
as ne is capable OF. But, are these the
qualities for our governors? Men Gho
display personal bias in ever so small a
degree, unless accompanied by unusual
merits of another kind, are not selected by
their fellows for positions of responsible
t. and trust. Strong understanding, Wig
orous judgment, and the absence of fear
favor and Affection are what men desire
in their governors; for only through,
minds of this character can Justice be OBJ
tanned" Every thing considered there
fore, if we are TO agree with this writer,
the quality of justice remains with the
male. It is upon this that men and
women must alike depend, and
hence It is that women so often pre-
fer to be judged by men rather than by
their own sex. Indeed there are SO few
exceptions that we may put it down as q
rule. The argument is good one, and It
is difficult to see how it can be success
fully controverted.

Don't Kiss TranS;ents.

A traveller who returned from a two
weeks vacation among the Maine wa
tering-places, says the Philadelphia
Times, relates an amusing incident
that occurred at New England hotel
where he CHANGED to stop for q day
while journeying to Bar Harbor. The
hotel was a small one, and the princi-
pal person in charge of the office was
the daughter of the proprietor, a
buxom lass of probably 20 summers.
When the morning of departure came
this fair Diana presented the hotel bill
to the traveller, and it SO happened that
neither of them could change note
that was rendered ia payment. In a
gallant way the traveller, who had
something of the Don Juan in his ma
ture, although he did not live on Wal
nut street, smilingly offered to kiss the
young lady and let the change go.
She drew herself up haughtily. I'D
like you to know, sir, that in this hotel
we don't kiss transients,' she replied
in freezing tones. ''Such privileges is
only given to permanent boarders.
Will you take a prospectus for next
season."

set out as an experiment. The puny vine
bore this season but g single bunch of
grapes. It is, of course, well known. that
grapes are raised from cutting and roots.
and not from seed. The woman, out of
curiosity, planted the seeds from ons of
the grapes of the vine. They sprouted
and aid so well that the young vines were
transplanted, and when sufficiently de-
veloped, bore handsomely a variety of
grapes that differed radically from the
original seed. It was q lucious table
grape.
neighboring nrrserympu had his at
tendlon drawn TO the new grape and
made the woman proposition to take
cuttings from the vines, give the variety
a name and put it on the market, paying
her royalty or all roots sold. She &C
cepted it, and in few years reaped s.
small fortune as her share of the profits
from the sale, as the grape became an
immediate favorite. Forty thousand
dollars IN royalties were paid TO her by
this nurseryman. She sold her little
vineyard and retired to live at ease the
balance OF her days in her native town
IN New York state on the money brought
her from the seeds of g single grape
planted almost by chance

The disposition of the dead is attract
ing much attention in England. The
question Is being agitated by the English
Burial Reform Association. During late
years there has been more or less discus
sion on this topic. The objection to the
present mode of burial is based on two
grounds. First, the sanitary reason, and
second, the financial cost. AS funerals
are managed in the present time they
are expensive and fall with much weight
upon the poor, who are as fond of mani

average cost every year for burying the
dead in England and Wales alone is $685.
100000. This would make the average
expense of every funeral about $50. In
Che United States it cannot be any less.
The sanitary objection is based upon the
reports of sanitary authorities that COM
munities living In the neighborh0od of
graveyards suffer from ailments to which
those who live distance from the place
of burial are strangers. Disraeli, in the
House of Lords, for this reason urged
that all the Gods acres in Great Britain
should be closed. These reasons are
making many converts to cremation. The
best evidence of the growth of this idea
ia to be found in the strength of the
International Cremation Congress, which
was held about year ago in Milan. The
roll included representatives from every
part OF the civilized world.

heels. On his arrival there he was de-
pressed, and his dog sided up to him,
and Lamartine says: The spaniel
which he had kept at his side the
whole route rested his head on his
masters knee" The dog beguiled him
out of dark thoughts of his doleful
prospects, his spirits rose, and he left
the window. out of which he had been
disconsolately staring, and called his
dog to share his supper with him. The
faithful creature was on guard beside
him when, one midnight, he was
aroused from his sleep to appear be-
fore his judges. The duke, sure of his
innocence, went to the mockery of a
trial with sanguine hopes Of a speedy
release. He did not know that during
his trial his grave was being dug. AT
ter leaving the Judgment hall the
prisoner still unsuspicious Of the haste
to fulfil the sentence from which heck

grandfather, the prince Of Condo. A
historian says: He played with his
dog while chatting gayly to the soldier.
The poor beast had been i'll at ease, for
some subtle instinct warned it that
there was danger afoot. His dull spir-
its were raised by its masters assur-
ance, but it was but short-liYed con-
tentment, for the duke and his dumb
friend were soon parted by death. The
prisoner was ordered to follow the
commander down darksome stairway,
which led into the moat. The duke
hesitated; but the dog, as usual, fol-
lowed without question at his masters
heels. The duke, when he reached the
trench, realized the truth. He cut q
lock of his hair, gave it and a ring to
Noiret, to send to his betrothed, Prin-
cess Charlotte de Rohan. As o'clock
struck the soldiers fired. and Napo-
Icons young victim fell. The spaniel,
in the dim light-for it was a gloomy
March morning, and the moat was lit
by solitary lantern-had not seen it's
masters face, and, was unaware OF his
evil fate till it saw him dead. In vain
it fawned upon him. who, but a few
minutes previously. had stroked and
commanded his pleased favorite. 1t
was with difficulty that the poor ami
NAL could be torn from the spot and
given to one of the princes servants,
who took him to Princess Charlotte.

Rapid Eating.

If the farmer should cultivate his farm
with as little regard to the conditions OF
success as he eats his breakfast, in ebay
time," particularly, he might be obliged
to mortgage it in five years! Some of
this class come to the table, fastening
from their work, sit down and commence
Showing away" the food with but little
reference to the rules of politeness, eat
ing almost as though life depended on
dispatch. Let such study the habits in
this particular, of the "patent OK" at first,
1T is true, following the example of his
master, crowding down the hay or grass
with all possible speed, but, afterwards, as
if repenting of his folly and indecent
haste, raising the cud," then chewing it
like decent OK! The sensible OK never
has the dyspepsia, nor nervous prostra-
tion," never is obliged to smoke for the
purpose of securing good digestion
never secured by man or beast in this
way! But, to be less playful. Food taken
in haste hastily swallowed, when not
more than one-third chewed, or, washed
down with hot tea or coffee, or SO creased,
like buck wheat griddle cakes, that it
slips down with ease, can never be in
proper condition to reach the stomach,
can never DC easily or fully penetrated by
gastric juice, under which circumstances
If can not be fully digested; if not, it can
not furnish its natural nourishmeut.
Again, it is necessary to incorporate the
saliva with it, az means of improving
digestion, which can be done only by
chewing much more thoroughly than is
usual, the importance of this being indi-
Gated by the generous supply = from
three and half to six pounds for their
daily supply. [ will add that the starchy
foods, as the grains, potatoes, rice and
the like, particularly demand faithful
chewing, that the starch may be changed
to grape sugar by the action of the saliva.
Hence, the improperly Of soaking our
food, or taking it in the most iquid form,
or taking any measures TO render the
swallowing as easy and as rapid as posi-
bic. Everything connected with the di-
gestlve apparatus indicates the necessity
OF thorough chewing, moderate eating,
doing it we'll. This evil is aggravated by
the false idea that conversation at meals
is favorable TO good digestion. To show
the folly Of this notion it is simply neces-
sary to know that digestion is not in prog
ress during the meals, not while we are
talking, but commences at the close of
the meal, or within a half hour after all
the liquids of the stomach have been re-
moved by absolution.
The appalling prevalence of dyspepsia
in this country-more than in any coun-
try of the world-indicates something
wrong. De. J. B. HANFoRD.
