A Republic lit France. Th thingps accomplished The : threat ofvfng William has been exe cuted, for on Friday of last week the Prussians captured Napo'eon. This was no sooner known in Paris than the form of governrr.cnt was changed and a republic proclaim rd. The question now i, Can the French people institute a republican forta of ""government and maintain it? We are fearful they cannot. They have tried it twice before and failed. Frivolity is to errnrr1T ototnnorl nn tllft Fronpll C?V OVIllplJ t7VJv - - -- -- -- character that we fear no good will come of this dethronement of the Na polconic dynasty. , It isa very serious qucstiun whether 5t will ever be possible to orginize are publican firm of government on the ruins f any of the .-European mon '. archies. In the first plac the people with whom rests the governmental pow ers in repuhli' s have not experience in f the affairs of State, and know not their powers or duties. Again, there is; n titled nobility who -will never wjllingly 'cast aside their titles and become com mon citizens; yet without such renun ciation there is no republic. The authorities in Spain have been trying for more than a year to orgtmze a republic and have at last given the project up, and are hunting a king, as ;did the frogs in the fable. We of America were 'only able to form; and maintain a republican form of government after long years of train ing. Our fathers -came to the new world in an earty day and were neglect ed by the home government, so that they were compelled to rely on them selves for government. The sweets of liberty thus tasted'-were .sufficient to kindle the great fire that is kept alive to this day io the breasts of all true Americans. i . y If, however, by a miracle the French 8horjld ; succeed with a republic, then there: is a strong probability that. Spain "will form a republic ; after thai, Italy -(will remember Ihat years ago she wa3 'governed by the people, and will deter- -mine that such shall be the case again. ; When this happens the Pope will leave Home, and when the Pope has nowhere 40 Jay his head, then the Catholic re.

J General Land Office, V V July 30, 1B70. j The following is an act approved July 14, 1S70, to extend the provisions of the preemption laws to the Tcrri. tory of Colorado, and lor other pur poses:- Be it enacted htj the Sena t and 11 oust of : Representatives of the United .

Sec. 2. 'And be it further enacted. That nothing in the act i of Congress approyea iuaren twenty seven, eight een hundred and fifty four, entitled 'An act for the relief of settlers on lands reset ved for railroad purposes," shall be construed to relieve such 8-t- tiers from t.e obligation to file the proper notices rf their clainis, as in other cases; and all claimants of pre emption rights shall hereafter, when no shorter period of time is now pre scribed by law. make the proper proof and payment for the lands claimed, within eighteen months after the date prescribed fr filing their declaratory notices shall have expired: Provided. That where said date ; shall have idapsed before the p:is-ag of this act. said pre-emptors Khali have one year after the passage hereof in which to tmke such proof and payment. This act leaves the provisions of law as heretofore respecting offered finds," viz : filing within thirty days, and pay. ment within twelve months after .-ettle tllC'it. j The settler on surveyed "unfirered lmd" mu.-t file his or her declaratory statement wifhin three months from the date of his of her settlement on such land, and, within eighteen months fnni the expiration of said three months, make the proper proof, and pay fur such land. j Where settlers had already filed be fore the passage of the act, they arc re quired to make proof and payment within one year from such passage ; therefore, all filings mad prior to that date will expire, by limitation of law, upon ' unoffercd lauds, ou the 11th of July, 1871. j The settlor on "unsurveyed land" must fiflt his or her declaratory state ment within three months from the date of the receipt at the j district land ofiice of the approved plat of the town ship embracing the tract upon which he or she has settled, and,! within eight een months from the expiration of said three months, make the proper proof, and pay for such tract. The proviso of the act of June 2, 1802, requiring filing within six mouth from survey in the field, and providing for filing with the Surveyor General, is repealed.

B. Castle " Subscribe for tbo Republican, A Creat Man. r George Lippard,. in his new work called the Nazarine, thus speaks ot President Jackson: 44 He was a man! Well I remember the day I watted upon him. lie sat there in his arm chair can nee that old warrior face, with its snow-white hair, even'novr. We told him of the. public distressthe mauufactutcs ruined, the eagles shrouded with crape which were borne at the head of twenty thousand, men into Independence Square. He heard us all. We begged him to leave the deposits where they Were; to up hold the great bank in Philadelphia. f Still he did not say a word. At last one of the members, more fiery than the rest, intimated that if the bank was crushed a rebellion might follow. Then the old man-rose; 1 can sec him yet: 'Cornel' bo shouted, in a voice of thunder as his clutched hand raised above his white !3trs. 'Come with bay onets in your hands instead of petition; surroundj the White IIouso with your h-gioos I am ready fur you all ! With the people at my back, w hom your gold cannot buy nor awe, I will swing you up around the Capitol each rebd of you on s a g;uuet as high as as ua- man When I; think, sayrs the author, of that man standing there at Washing, ton. battling with nil the powers of bank and panic combined, hot rayed by those whom lie trusted, assailed by all that the snake of malice could hiss or the fiend of falsehood howl when I think of that one man placing his back against the rock and folding his arm? for the blow, while uttering his vow, I will not, swerve an inch from the course I have chosen I I must confess that the records of Greece and Home nny, the proudest days of Cromwell or Napoleon cannot furnish an in stance of a will bke that of Andrew Jackson, when he placed life and smtl aid fame on the hazard of a die for te people's welfare.'' -. A Prayer For Prussia. At Newport, Kentucky, a few days ago, the Itev. Granville Moody, O'lii's fa mors fighting parson, made the following prayer in behalf of Germany: M(Joi of the nations," "to whom helongetli the shields of the earth." Thou hat styled Thyself ' the God of battles," and hat promised; to ''overturn ard overturn and overturn until he shall come whose right it is to reign." We devoutly invoke Thy blessing on our European brethren, struggling for the inalienable rights of man opainst the ambitious and unscrupulous Napoleon who strode to arbitrary power over his broken vows, and seeks the p rpe'ua tion of despotism In the person of . his son ; and by the conquest sf his Prus san neigh bors would seek to the over throw of Christianity in the disintegra tion of Protestant Prussia.' Put a hook in his nose, and lead him out with the workers of iniquity ; arid may the srnoke of his torment ascend from the battle fields of the Khinc ; and may his dis comfiture prove the disaster of Popery, of which he has been the chcif support ; and may his overthrow, ritq rack a d centre, shake the dominions of the Man of sin ; and then may the wrath of ra in praise Thee, and the remainder of wruvii do 1 hou restrain, Says the Jacksonville Jfeica: A young lad, aged about 10 years and of French parentage, by the name of Par scan, started out in company with an other individual over on Dry Creek one day last week with his gun to hunt up some sheep jthat he had been herding. They seperajed and 6ne took one side of a deep can'on and the other the oth er. "They kept in hailing distance, but after awhile the boy's calls ceased to be heard. That night he failed to get home. It was thought he had gone over to the other ranch, and no great u n easi n ess was felt for him u u t i 1 a f te r the next day. Search was then matic and resulted in finding his lifeless body, down in the canyon, horribly mutilated and bitten eyidently by a bear or some other ferocious animal. He was buried in the cemetery on Sunday. j f!f.x, At Fry burg, Maine, last week, two cows came together on the banks of tho Saco. Tliey hooked and pushed and twisted until they got their horns locked, when one of them went bver tho bank and broke her nock, and, of course, drag ged the other, too, both going into the water, the living only to be held down by, the dead one till drowned i' . - - --i- u Adam's Private Thoughts" were not written .8 a fefiucl to "Young's Night Thoughts,' although it may be presum ed that they wore intended for J3ye. OiLiNo Farm Imi'lkmknth. t Every farmer should have a can of lin seed oil and a brush on hand, and when, ever he buys a new tool he should soak it well with the oil and dry it by the fire or in the sun before using. Tho wood by this treatment is toughened and dtreogthcoed, and rendered impervious ct water. wet a new htsy rake, and when it dries it will begin to be lose in the joints; but if well oiled, the wet will have but slight effort. Shovels and forks are preserved froai checking and cracking in the top of the , handle by oiling; the wood becomes smooth as glass by use, and far leis liablo to blis ter the hand when long- used. Axe and hammer , handles often break off where the wood enters the iron ; this part particularly should be toughened with oil, to secure durability. Oiling the wood in the eye of the axe will pre vent its swcHinga'ttdhrinking,and some times getting loo-e. The tools on a larg-? f irm cost a large sum of money ; they should be of the most approved - kinds'. It Is a poor economy, at the present ex travagant prices for labor, to stt men at work with ordinary, old f-.-hioncd im plemcnts. Laborers should bo r quir ed to return their 'tools to the conven ient places provided for them; after using, they should be put away clean and bright. The mould-boards of plows are apt to get ..ru-ty from one sea son to another, even if sheltered ; they should be bruhed over with a few drops of oil when put away, and they will then-remain in good ordt riill wauLd. Cost ov Liiaferhm Docs' the young man who persists in being a loaf er ever reflect how much less it would cost, to be a decent, respectable maul' Does be imagine that loifori?m is m re economical than gentility? , Anjbaly ran be n genflemnn if he choses to be, without much cost, but it ts mighty ex pensive Wing a loifcr. It co-ts time in the first place d iy-, weks, mortis of it in fact about all the time he has. for no m in can bo a fir.U clas loader with out devoting nearly Irs entire time to it.

It ousts money, far though the loafer may not cam a cent, or have one for months, the time last might have produced him much mono if devoted to industry instead of sloth. It costs health, vigor, comfort all the true pleasures of living, honor dignity, and the respect of the world when liv ing, and, finally, all regret or consider ation when dead. Jlj a gentleman ; it is fur cheaper. : Disco VF.RV at Davknimrt; Itr The workmen engaged in excavating the bluffs near to Locust street, for th Davenport and St. Paul railway, at t! o'clock this afternoon came across the most perfect and largest Indian mound or burying-pla-'C yet discovrrrd in the Northwest. A stratum of blue clav and an alluvial deposit covered the re mains, which peaces them at an rxircme lv remote antiquity. On cutting side ways into the hill, a few broken shr.nls of pottery auu fli'its were the first indi cation. One of the w rkniav, Michac' Scanlon, struck his pick j into a hard sub-tanco, which proved to be the skull of a human being. More care was then taken, which resulted in the discoy ry of a vast-' circular arena surrounded with vitrified stones,5 and inside : was found a perfect ting ; of skeletons, the feet meeting in a common centre and the skulls radiating so far as to form a circle about' fourteen feet in diameter. Io the' middle a mnch larger skeleton was found in a sitting position. The dry sand with which... the. whole were cov 'red. had .preserved them in a fe-; markauie manner, .numerous hatchet heads, arrows of fiintwere plentifully scattered rcundi!
