Governor John Evans, of Colorado, now

ments representing the affairs of the Ter
ritory. He has made an important treaty
with the Utah Indians, by which they cede
all the mineral lands in their possession
Governor Evans is endeavoring to procure
ratification of that treaty

members.


At its last session the Z. S. Senate pass

Colorado, but it failed in the House fol

undoubtedly pass similar act promptly
and the new State will thus take part in tht

In no case do we see n moro remarkable illus.
tration of the truth which SO many cayil al, o
the 'inQuity of the fathers being visited on the
children" than In the case Of intcmperate par.
ents.


A remarkable instance Of this might have
been seen about thirty years ago in IN old New
England town. An old man of nearly one hun.
drcd years died In the place, who had alway.
been in the habit of taking his daily glass, and
had swectcncd a portion for his little children
rs they grew up around him. Half Of the old
mans largo family Of sons, and forty of his dc.
sccndants had he seen 60 down to drunkard's
grave. One son, who had profcssed religion,
found the old taste too strong, was excommuni.
Gated, and lived for years miserable drunkard.
Near him lived another old neighbor. who
was always strong temperance man. Or his
one hundred descendants all were temperate
persons o, what different legacies to hand
down to ones childrcn's children Yet the
first was only moderate drinker. Alas that
is no security: The children are quite sure to
60 o step further.


An old friend who has for years retired from
business, has mourned over the wreck of three
sons whose prospects for life seemed very fat
tering. Established In business with abundant
capital, in place where tho old family name
was known and honorcd, he hoped 10 see them
take the position In society he and his brother,
had held before them. But first tho eldest and
then the second con went down TO drunkard' s
graves, and the youngest bids fair to follow
them. The secret OF 1t oil might have been
found In the choice wine cellar which formed
such m important part Of the family mansion.
Though but temperately intemperate himself,
they acquired the taste earlier, and without the
restraints which poverty had thrown around
their fathers boyhood and early manhood, their
course was rapidly downward.


All, teach your children, from their earliest
years, to shun, rs they would viper, the most
distant approaches to that fountain OF fire.
Guard them we'll from the many pleasant, flow
cry paths which lead so surely to 1t. Let your
examples and teachings point all In an opposite
direction, and you shall doubtless find that q
covenant keeping God will show his mercics Of
restraining grace to your de'isnaants down TO

Among the pernicious consequences flow
ing from this cruel and needless practice Of
forcing hogs to swallow an immense guam.
tty Of really nourishing matter which is
intcrmixcd with it, are the following: The
hogs do not grow and gain in flesh, as all
well fed and well managed pigs do, all the
time, from their entrance upon to their exit
from the stage; they become stunted and
comparatively poor, so much so that no
amount Of corn or other fattening food, in
subsequent months, will ever make them
as large or as healthy as they might other
wise have been; their digestive organs
seem to become disordered, as subsequent
better feeding appears to do them, often,
but little good and they become big.bel

watery and more nutritious food during the
period Of growth.


If any readers fail TO mako their spring
pigs weigh from two hundred and fifty to
three hundred pounds at the age Of nine
months, or from two hundred and seventy.
five to three hundred pound at ten months,
or little over, it may be suspected that
there is an error somewhere in their mode
of feeding, or Of managing otherwise. II
may be in their failure to selecd o good
breed, but much more frequently VIC pre-
sumo, the error may be found in the mate
rials employed in feeding, and, in many
cases, VIC are quite confident, in the very
practice upon which We have been comment
ing. Those who fail to raise hogs to be o.
the weights above named, at the ages men
toned, may feel assured that there is an errol
somewhere in their Imodes Of arrangement
in pork.making-an error which bring
with it, as penalty, the loss of goot
many pounds Of pork, which might have
been obtained by better mode Of man

One by one the hopes we cherished
In the lovely long ago,
Like bright day dream have perished
From our pathways here below;
One by one their lights grow DINNER.
As the stars at evening day.
Till the gentle, golden glimmer


Of the last hope died away.
One by one they have departed,


Those we loved in other years,
Till alone and broken hearted,


We have nothing left but tears
One by one they faded from US,


Like the flowers in autumn time,
Till the last bright bud of promise,
Withered ere it reached its prime.
But we have a hope immortal,


One that will not, cannot die,
That when we have reached the portal
Leading to the throne on high
One by one they will meet us,


Meet again to part no more,
And with loud hosannas greet US,

How THE ADMINISTRATION TREATS VETERANS.
Men who will not pledge themselves to vote
for Lincoln, need not apply to the Administra-
tion for work, however well he may have served
his country. Here is case in point, which we

POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS The n. Y. Herald
which may be regarded as well posted up in the
affairs Of the Republican party makes the fol-
lowing statement


"Eyents and circumstances have transpired
since the visit Of ex-Secretary Chase to this city
which throw considerable light upon the inner
workings of the republican party II is report
ed that Mr.. Chase asserted that, had he known
before he left the Treasury Department what he
now knows, he would not have resigned but
forced Lincoln to turn him out, or secured his
defeat through the machinery of the Treasury
Department. 1t now appears that there is a for
midable movement in the republican party, in
augurated and pushed forward by the Chase
men, to secure the defeat Of Old Abe at the
polls next November. This movement is likely
to prove as effective as amy that could have been
carried out through the Treasury Office


The Herald adds, ''when prominent men of
the republican party are heard to openly express
the hope that the rebels will enter Washington
and capture Old Abe, and this disafection ex-
tending to the rank and file of the party, it is
time for him to consider that his case is hope.

The DAY AFTER MARRIAGE.-The departure of
son from beneath the paternal roof does not
present any spectacle of desolaton Masculine
life, has from infancy, an individuality and in
dependence, an egotism, so to say, which is es-
sentially wanting in female existence. When
son abandons his parents to create for himself
separate interest, this separation causes but lit
tie interruption in their mutual relations A
man marries, and still retains his friendships,
his habits, and his flial affections. Nothing has
changed in his life; it is only an additional tie


His departure is consequently a mere separation;
while the departure of young girl, to become
wife in few hours, is a real deserton-a de-
serton with all its duties and feelings still fresh
about it. In one word, the son is a sapling
which has always grown apart from the trunk,
while the daughter has, on the contrary, formed
an essential portion Of it, and to detach her
from place is to mutilate the tree itself You
have surrounded her youth with unspeakable
tenderness-the eXhaustless tenderness Of your
paternal hearts, and she, in return has appeared
to pour forth upon you both equally mex
haustible gratitude you loved her beyond all
the world, and she seemed to you with a pro-
portionate affection. But one day, one ill
omened day, a man arrives, invited and well
coined by yourselves, and this man of your own
choice carries off to his domestic eyrie your gem
tie dove, far from the soft nest which your love
had made for her, and to which hers had clung


On the morrow you look around you, you lis
ten, you wait, you seek for something which
you cannot find. The cage is empty; the tune
ful linnet has flown; silence has succeeded to
its melodiOus warbling it does not come as it
did on the previous morning, hutterng its per-
fumed wings about your pillow, and awakening
you by its soft caresses. Nothing remains but
a painful calm, painful silence, painful ycid.

RECRUITING NEGRoEs.-A despatch from AL
bany says, Governor Seymour will not appoint
State agents to recruit in the Southern States
He does not believe this to be wise or practical
Bile. If cities or counties choose to pay boun-
ties and appoint agents for recruiting such SOL
diers they can do so, and the State authority
will give them such facilities as the act of Con-
gress directs.


To which the N. Y Herald responds


'Since Massachusetts has been filing up her
quota by sending agents to the South to pick up
stray negroes, many people have been asking
why New York should not do the same. The
reason is that we do not want to be represented
in the army by negroes. New York will not
sneak out Of her responsibility as Massachu-
setts has done She still has white men willing
to fight as Massachusetts, has not. But, say
the objectors, negroes will fill up our quota and
save white men from service. Yes; but we are
not anxious merely to fill our quota, but to end
the war; and white soldiers must do that if the
people want the war ended"

IT is said that Judge Tauey has for years

As long ago as 1910, gentleman of Mary:
land having some interest in disputed land
case, in which there was considerably more
feeling than money involved, inquired of a
merchant in Baltimore for the name Of some
able lawyer to be employed. The name OF
Taney was given. The gentleman called on
the latter, but after talking with him awhile
declined to engage his services, giving as a
reason that that he intended his case should
stay in Court at least five years; that Taney
would not live half that time, and then he
would have to engage new counsel. Fifty
years have passed since then, and ten years
ago that individual and all other parties to
the protracted suit, as well as the lawyers on
both sides, and the Judges who tried the cause
were all dead. and Taney was as hale and
hearty as he had ever been, but still deceiying

The FEET FASHION EAsT.-A New York

what old ladies call Judgments in the shape
of colds, consumption and rheumatism. This
year, calfskin boots are almost invariably
worn, and these are lined with flannel, come
up at least an inch above the ankle bone, and
have high heels and square toes. Striped

ABusE OF OFFICIAL STATI0N.-We hold
that the people can never be too cautious in
selecting men for public station. There are
plenty Of politicians who have no other OBJ
ject in view in seeking office but the sordid
and mean desires to subserye their own prI-
vate interests. There have been not a few
revelations in proof OF this fact in California.
The latest is that ventilated by Wilson Flint,
in his Washington correspondence 10 the
Ere,aing Journal, duplicating ex-Congress-
man Phelps and ex-senator Doll in very
questionable transaction, relative to land
decision in which the latter was interested.
The decision being adverse to his claim, Mr..
Doll got Mr.. Phelps to have it smothered in
Washington; and on the principle that one
good turn deserves another, Doll, being Sena-
tor from Tehama county when the Senatorial
election came off last year, voted for Phelps
while that gentleman was in the field. This
is not the only charge Of the KIND that has
been brought against MIR. Phelps. lie mas
heretofore been charged with dishonest med
ding in other land claims and decisions, the
fraudulent Beryessa claim (Which embraced
the town site of Petalumal being one OF them,
il we recollect Alright. If these things which
are charged against him are true, it is well for
people Of California that he was defeated in
his aspirations for the United States Senate.
We want no more Gwins and Wellers TO mis-
represent this State, while aiming most to
promote their private interests. Such men
should never get into Office; b when they
do, and their selfish and dishonorable tricks
are discovered, they should be forever after
marked with the finger of scorn. We believe
Phelps has reached the end Of his political
career. But he is notthe only one who would
use official station to carry out private ends.
There are few more such men in the Union
party, and perhaps some of them in the Leg
islatiye halls of the State. II the bill de-
signed to give the Governor power to remove
appointees at pleasure has not selfish designs
at the bottom Of it, then We fail to understand
the true intent of the measure. 1t is in the
nature Of power to breed corruption. We
believe there are men in the Union orguniza-
ton, as there were in the Democratic party,
who are entirely selfish, who have lived and
are determined still to live By Office, and who
will use the party, If they can, for their own
purposes. We caution the party to beware
OF such men, or they will ride it to death.
