Now that there is some sHeulitt'ou
on whit name to give the northern por
tion of Dakota in oasetlio southern part
should ba admitted to the Union as the
state of Dakota, it may be interesting
to note that just one hundred years
ago, in 1784, an ordinance wan drawn
up in regard to "the territory ceded or
to be ceded bv individual states to the
United fctates." The original draft
read :
The territory northward of the 45th
degree, that is to say, of the comple
tion of 45 degrees from the equator,
and extending to the lake of the WooJs,
shall be called Sylvania.
tf the territory under the 4"th nnd
44th degrees, that which lie westward
of Lake Michigan, shall be called
Miehiganla: ami that which is eastward
thereof, within the peninsula formed by
the lakes and water of Michigan,
Huron, St. Clair, and Erie, shall be
called Chersone.sus, and shall include
any part of the peninsula which may
extend above the 45th degree.
Of the territory under the 43d and
42d degrees, that to the westward,
through which the Assenisipi or lioek
river runs, shall bo called Assenisipia;
and that to the eastward, in which aro
the fountains of the Muskingum, the
two Miamis of the Ohio, the Wabash,
the Illinois, the M amis of the lake,
and the Sandusky rivers, shall be called
Mesopotamia.
Ot' the territory which lies under the
41st and 40th degrees, the we-toin,
through which the river Illinois runs,
shall be called lllinoia; that next ad
joiuing to the eastward, Saratoga; and
that between this last and Peniisyl
vania, and extending from the Ohio to
Lake Erie, shall be called Washington.
Of the territory which lies under the
39th and i)8th degrees, to which shall
be added so much of the point of land
within the fork of the Ohio and Missis
sippi as lies under the b"i th degree,
that to the westward, within and adja
cent to which are the continence of
the rivers Wabash, Shawnee,
Tanieee, Ohio, Illinois, Mississippi, and
Missouri, shall be called I'olypotamia,
aud that to the eastward, further up the
Ohio, otherwise called the Telisipi,
shall be called Polisipiu.
1 at'h reader can judge for himself
how much was gained and how much
lost by tho fact that, under the ordi
nance finally agreed upon these pro
posed uatues were not fastened upon
tho western territory and perpetuated
in history.
Twenty Cent' Worth ami Xo Thank
Hartford Journal
"Do you have four-cont stamps?" she
inquired of Clerk Gates, at the stamp
window."
"Yes, ma'am, how many?"
"Twenty cents' worth: let's see
(counting her ringers , four, ei',ht,
twelve, sixteen, twenty, that makes five;
yes, five; I'll take live of them."
"There you are, ma'am."
"Cun't yon give them to me fastened
together all in one piece, you know ?"
"There you are. ma'am."
"Lear me; do ypu keep 20-cent
stamps?"
"les'm; we keep everything in the
line of stamps?"
"Well, I'll take a 20-cent stamp in
place of these. Ought to have thought
Of it before."
Clerk renews examination of his ac
counts and is suddenly interrupted
with :
"Isn't that provoking? I've left my
package at home, and I've got to go
clear up on North Main street before I
go homo. Oh dear, whiit shall 1 da
with this horrid stamp '"
"Shall I send it to your house,
miss?'"
"0, mercy, no; it isn't heavy; but
how shall 1 carry it? Do you deliver
goods hero?"
"Well, such an awkward bundle as a
20-cent stamp I suppose we ou'ht to
deliver; most of the boys in the office
could find time enough to take it home
for you. Where shall it be sent?"
"Out on" but she thought the folks
in the o.'tice were laughing at her,
and she withdrew without saving
"thanks."

"Then came the self-cocking pistols
using cartridges, but tho first experi
ments were failures, and they fell into
disuse."
"What wos their weak point?" asked
the reporter.
"Tho spring. It did not hold its
strength, and after a little uso the pis
tol was apt to miss fire. That naturally
drove it out of favor at once, and very
properly. That weakness has been
overcome, and springs aro now so ad
justed that the shot is sure evory time.
The present self-cocker is neat, handy,
quick in action, and a dead-sure thing
every time. Is it dangerous? Well,
no, not more so than any other kind of
a pistol; and in cases where a fraction
of a second counts one of these is worth
a bushel of hand-cockers. They are a
little more dangerous in the hands of a
nervous man who does not intend to
shoot. I have known of several cases
in which persons have escaped convic
tion for murder on the grouud that in
tl eir excitement they pulled too hard
on the trigger, and the pistol went o!T
by accident. Hut any kind of a pistol
is unsafe in su h hands, and when we
think of the advantage which a quick,
reliable weapon gives to a man in an
emergency, we are bound to admire the
self-cocker, Five shots in three sec
onds is pretty quick work, but that's
what it will do. and do it every time.
As a pocket pistol it is us safe to carry
as any ether kind."

"Why don t you keep your pigs out of

responded tho Arkansas man, putting
his hands in his pockets, "f you mean
to say that my family ain't fitten for
