SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1870.
Mr. Yoorhees as a Financier. When Mr. Voorhees, a few days ago asserted that that the Government should redeem all her bonds at once, in green backs, we were presumptuous enough to Bay that he was not a good financier. When he announced that the present administration had not reduced the public debt any, we again declared it as our opinion, that he knew nothing about finance. We now take the earliest opportunity to ask the windy Representative from this district to pardon our audacity and forgive us for thus questioning his great financial intellect. We take everything back, and here, thus publicly, announce to the world that the Hon. D. W. Voorhees is, to all intents and purposes, a most farseeing, deeply penetrating, masterly, adroit, sharp, financier. That he knows just how to do it, and does it. That by one bold stroke of financial policy, he has outwitted the General Government and all of its financial officers. That he overleaped the Treasuiy officials, and out generaled the Treasurer himself, And how did our distinguished Representative do all this "Let facts be submitted to a candid world."
There is a law, passed by the Congress of the United States, which says in substance, that each member of Congress shall be allowed $5,000 per annum in addition to mileage, and that the time any of the members are absent from their seats, without leave, a per diem amount shall be withheld from their salary. Thus it is made the duty of the Clerk to keep a careful list of the absentees and report them to the proper officer, who, when he settles with the members according to the law, deducts from their salary of $5,000 and mileage, about $10,00 for every day absent. To a man absent without leave as much as Mr. Voorhees was during the Jastsession, this deduction becomes an important financial matter. Hence it becomes the part of a good financier to avoid thi3 deduction, and none but a good and far-seeing one can do it. Our Representative did it, and therefore our Representative i3 a good and far seeing financier. But how did he accomplish this financial feat, and thus put money in his pocket, which otherwise, and of right should have remained in the Treasury. The process was not complicated, and to a great financier, easily accomplished. lie simply drew the $5,000, his salary for one year, at the beginning of the session. Now if that is not good financiering what is it Yea, more than that, it is "strategy, my boy." The best kind of. strategy too. The kind which enables us to treat our friends. With his year's salary deep down in his breeches pocket, Mr. Voorhees could be absent as much as he pleased and not lose anything by it. His settlement was made with the Serjeant-at-Arms, in the beginning of the session, rather than at the end of it. He wisely "took time by the forelock," and if the Clerk should want to make any deductions for absence without leave, Mr.
Voorhees could then, put his
finger gently on his nose, and "whistle' said Sergean t-at- Arms "down the winds.'» Get the advantage whenever you can, is good financiering, and we are delighted to see that our Representative has adapted the maxim. Let no one in the future question Mr. Voorhees' financial skill. If there is anything he does understand, it certainly is finance, and he who questions this in the future, is a blockhead.
We respect great financial ability. We rather have an admiration for it. It shows brains rather than gas, and the charge against our Representative that he is gasy, is bosh. Finance and gas can not go together. They will not mix in the same head. If one is there, the other ain't. If the other is there, the one is absent. Hence the conclusion is logically concluded. We have shown that Mr. Voorhees prossesses a brain of wonderful financial accumen, and therefore he is not a gasser- He is sound on finance, and unsound on sound.
The Prussians.
The Republican State Convention of Michigan, the other day passed resolu tions in favor of Prussia, and two days ago, when resolutions to the same effect were offered in the Illinois Republican State Convention, they were received with vociferous and wild huzzahs. Every where the Republicans of the United States, have expressed their sympathy with the Germans in their fight with the French. The Democratic party, is on the other side.
Hurrah for Old Perry.
Many years ago when Hon. George Dunn was a candidate for Congress, so i: high did he stand in the affections of the people that Perry township gave him one hundred and one majority—the largest ever given for any candidate. We learn that an accurate poll of the township shows that Hon. Moses F. Dunn will get one hundred majority, but one less than his lamented father, and the
Republicans of that township think they will be able to make the other vote by the first of October. "Moses" is popular in Perry, and in every other township in this county.—Mitchell Commercial.
SPEAKING of Napoleon's malady, the New York Tribune says: 'The mother of Napoleon III., Hortense de Beauharnais, died of an internal cancer, and from her the Emperor received this sad heritage. She was of a lymphatico-nervous temperament, and it is well known that this temperament becomes the source of serious maladies, especially when excess of various kinds have in the course of life enfeebled the constitution. The physical sufferings of the Emperor date from an early period."
THE return of Victor Hugo to Paris after many years of compulsory exile and ««voluntary seclusion, is not a good omen to Napoleon, though it may be to France.
His son is charged with complicity in the recent plots for the assassination of the Emperor, and whether the accusation stand or fall, it is reasonablv certain that Victor Hugo would not come to vl Paris except in the belief that the throw of "Napoleon le Petit' complished.

HERE'S satisfaction of the sweetest sort A microscopist, who has been studying 7 mosquitoes, finds that they are positively afflicted with lice, each having para"sites upon its body which are easily seen iunder a glass of low magnifying power.
The mosquitoes seem to be as lively under there tortures, as are human beings under the sting of the mosquito.
Homes for Billions.
TheU S Territories are large empires, as will be seen by the area they possess. What has been called the Great American Desert turns out, or will turn out, no desert at all. These Territories have an area greater by 175,000 square miles than that of all the admitted States ot the Union.
The following table is made up as accurately as can be done from official data at Washington: Washington .rr...v. ..44,798,160 New Mexico 77,568,640 Utah 54,065,043 Dakotah 96,596,128 Colorado 66,880,000 Montana 92,016,610 Arizona 79.906,240 Idaho 55,228,160 Wyoming 62,645,068 Indian 44'1542ko Alaska 469,529,600
Idaho grows all the cereals and ordinary vegetables, northern kinds of fruit, and is suited to stock raising. Utah produces over a million bushels of cereals annually. Wyoming has fine grass and fertile valleys. Arizona, grain, rice, sugar and cotton. Montana, agricultural staples of all kinds nearly four million dollars' worth yearly. Colorado, one of the most luxuriant pastures on the continent. Of Alaska, not enough is known to speak with confidencebut the remainder is abundantly rich in mineral resources of the most varied nature, and are destined to become homes for immense populations. The population of this territorial domain is not far from 400,000.
WHEN the glorious old Admiral Farragut—he was only a Captain then—had destroyed the rebel navy, and run his fleet through the terribie fire of the batteries which defended New Orleans, he left Ben Butler to take possession of the conquered city and gather up the spoils, while he pushed on up the Mississippi to finish up the work of opening that river. He dashed first past Port Hudson, and then past Vicksburg, running the fire of the rebel batteries at both places in his usual gallant style. On arriving north of Vicksburg he found Admiral Porter lying off the city with his fleet of iron-clads.
Farragut, as became a veteran of his age, was a little old-fashioned in his notions. He believed that wooden ships, well manned and handled, and fought at close quarters, were on the whole more efficient than the clumsy and unwieldy iron-clads now in vogue and he certainly did a great deal to prove it. Porter, on the other hand, believed in iron-clads, casemates, and fighting at long range with all the modern improvements. At the taking of New Orleans, Porter's part consisted, it will be remembered, in throwing large bombshells at the forts from a fleet of mortar vessels at a great distance an exploit which made a great deal of noise at the time, both at the scene and in the papers, but which does not appear to have been attended with any important practical consequences.
About this time somebody wrote to a Memphis editor inqutring whether each of these two commanders had an ironclad fleet. The editor, who seems to have been at once sententious and sarcastic, informed his correspondent in reply that the fleet below Vicksburg—Farragut's—was a wooden fleet with an iron commander while that above Vicksburg—Porter's—was an iron fleet with a wooden commander.
It is said that Admiral Porter was fu rious when this met his eye. He wanted to send a file of marines at once and arrest and court-martial the offending editor but he was finally persuaded to restrain his wrath. But thestory was long a standing joke in the West.—N. Y. Sun.
To Put up Green Corn.
I am a true lover of green corn, and I keep it from one year's end to the other, and have it brought to my table at any time when the notion takes me, as fresh and good as when first taken from the patcb. Here is the way I work it:
I have the corn shaved from the cob and packed away in a common jar, with salt in alternate layers. A layer of corn, say an inch thick—followed by a layer of salt sufficient to cover it, and so on till the jar is filled. Pieces of board are then fitted over it, and a stone laid on to weigh it down for a pickle will soon rise, and all the corn must be kept beneath the surface. Cloth or paper is next tied over the mouth of the jar to keep out dust—and that is all.
But there will be something more to do when I wish to use my corn, and therein lieth my secret. It will be too salt for the table, as packed away, of course, and if I soak the salt out in the ordinary way I spoil the whole thing, for the milk and life of the grain goes out with the salt. I have it soaked, nevertheless but the work is commenced by first dropping it into a kettle of boiling water. This cooks the milk in the corn at pnee, rendering it insoluble, after which it may be soaked through as many waters as desirable without in the least degree impairing its virtues or its flavor.
I have eaten corn four years old, kept in this way and treated as above, and so perfect was it, that had the roasting ear season been at hand, I should never have suspected otherwise than that it was just taken from the cob.—Correspondent in Journal of Agriculture.
THE San Francisco papers begin to indulge in the hope that the war bewteen France and Germany will be the means of creating an active demand for California wines. According to good judges, there is no reason why wines of first rate quality should not be produced in Cali fornia—the soil is admirably adapted to the cultivation of the grape, and nothing is wanting but the skill to make the wine. This may be very true, but somehow or other California wines are not good enough to please the popular taste. They are strong and coarse flavored and improve very little, if at all, by keeping. They are generally very sweet and cloy on the palate much as the homely "currant wine" made in the rural parts used to do. It is said that a recent invention has overcome most of these objections, but people will naturally be incredulous on the subject until a really fine vintage has been placed on the market. There is a fine chance, no doubt, for the California winegrowers to show what they can do. Perhaps the best beginning they could make would be to bring skilled labor to the manufacture, and to make sure that rubbish fit only for the pigs, is not foisted on the public as "pure California wine."
A BAVARIAN officer who fought in the battle of Wissembourg, writes to the Press of Vienna that: "The Aisatians have not the slightest recollection of having at one time been Germans. One would have thought that they would have preserved something more from the time when their country was one of the most beautiful of Germany than the use of the German language, which, moreover, they speak as badly as French. Every trace of German customs and loyalty has disappeared among them. They are completely Gallicized, and are more fanatical than the French themselves, as their present conduct proves. During the assault on Wissenburg they seconded the French, who defended themselves bravely by firing through garrett windows on our troops. Even the women took part in the battle they poured boiling oil on the water on our conquering soldiers." A writer in the National Zeitung, on the other hand, declares that both Alsace and the greater jart of Lorraine are thoroughly German language and customs as well as in race. Probably the truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.
Li Po Sai, of San Francisco, recently addressed an American patient to this effect: I think you too much dance, too much eat, too much fool around. If you dance, you no get better too much eating no good: too much fooling around no good. Good-by."

Mr. Ryman declined to accede to tho strange demand. Some parties believe tho letters are genuine, while others think they emanated from Boling himself.

A Philosopher takes Tea with Fanny Fern. Fanny Fern tells the following story of her first meeting with Horace Greeiey. He had agreed to take tea at her house, and Mr. Parton gave her a special injunction to have some stale bread on the table, as Mr. Greeley, he said, never touched hot biscuit. This was accordingly done, and when the great editor sat down to supper, a large supply of dry bread was placed by his plate. He, however, was not content with this, but peering across the table in his nearsighted way at the biscuit opposite, he stretched out his arm and proceeded to help himself, and actually made his meal of them. Mrs. Parton expressed her surprise at this and said "Why Mr. Greeley, I have read the Tribune for so long a time that I thought you abominated hot bread." "Fanny," replied the sage Horace, helping himself to another biscuit, "do you always practice what you preach? I am sure I don't."

"HISTORICUS," of the London Times, has been going into heroics over the contemplated gift of a statute of Stonewall ^uCcu°^ some English admirers to the State of Virginia. With an amount of fervor that is highly edifying to witness, the great international busybody protests against the English spirit of irresponsible mischief making, and the wanton insult which he apprenends is to be offered to the American people. "Historicus" may possibly be surprised to find that the "ill-omened enterprise," and the
domum." over which he
waxes so grandiloquent, and on which he evidently imagines the eyes of the universe to be fixed, is regarded by the "American people" with supreme unconcern. If anybody takes the trouble to express an opinion about the good taste of theproceeding, it will probably be not so mnch to wonder at the officious heroworship of Mr. BERESFORD HOPE and his co-subscribers, as at the willingness of the State of Virginia to accept such a memorial from such a source.

This country is being crossed with mur.cror.s Railroads from every direction to Sioux City, Iowa. Six Railroads will be made to this city within one year. One is already In operation connecting us with Chicago and the U. P. Railroad and two more will be completed before spring, connecting us with Dubuque and McGregor, direct. Three more will be completed within a year, connecting us direct with St Paul, Minn., Yankton, Dakota, and Columbus Nebraska, on the U. P. Railroad. The ^lissomRiver givesus the Mountain Trade. u.s it wi 1 be seen that no section of country oilers such unprecedented advantages for business, speculation and making a fortune, lor the country is being populated, and towns and cities are being built, and fortunes made almost beyond belief. Every man who takes a homestead now will have a railroad market at his own door, And any enterprising young man with a small capital can establish himself in a permanent paying business, if he selects the right location anc right branch of trade. Eighteen years residence in the western country, and a large portion ot the lime employed a& a Mercantile Agent in this country, has made me familiar with all tho branches of business and the best locations in this country. For one dollar remitted to me I will give truthful and delinite answers to all questions on this subject desired by such persons. Tell them the best place to locate, and what business is overcrowded and what branch is neglected. Address,
