The census returns from trie ter ritories, showing their protein pop ulation and the growth since 1870. furnish valuable indications as to their future development and the probable time of their admission as states of the Union. Dnkoti. reports the largest growth in the decennial period. Her population increased from 14,1S1 to 134,502, si ain of 121,321. We have al- read' discussed the future of tins vast region and presented reasons for its division into three terri tories, and the speedy admission of the most populous division as a state. The portion. of the present territory south of the forty-sixth parallel and east of the one hun dredth meridian has already a population, if we estimate the im migration since the census was taken, not falling much, if any, short of 100,000, and another year's influx of new settlers will probably increase it to 120,000. The sec tion north of the forty-sixth paral lel, lying on both sides of the Northern Pacific railroad and in cluding the fertile valley of led river, is rapidly filling up with wheat farmers, and may be ex pected to grow up to the dignity of a state during the next ten years. Most populous of all the terri tories is Utah, which has 143,007 inhabitants, and has gained 57,121 since 1S70. On the score of popu lation alone Utah has long had the right to claim admission as a state, but congress lias never shown a disposition to recognize this claim and probably never will, so long ;is the territory is cursed by polyg amy. To give her state autonomy would be to enable its people to perpetuate polygamy by state laws, and to put themselves wholly out side of the reach of federal inter ference. It is safe to say that Utah will remain in her present condition of tutelage until her social life is purified of its peculiar abomination. She is out of the list of future states for an indefi nite period. New Mexico, which actually receded in population be tween 1SG0 and 1S0, i now showing a slow but healthy growth, and with the completion of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad to her capital, and the completion of the Southern Pacific line across her southern counties, will undoubtedly receive a large access of new settlers. We may reasonably look for her admission during the next five or six years. She has now 11S,430 inhabitants. Next comes Washington, which reports 75,120 inhabitants, and shows the satisfactory gain of 52,105 since 1S70 this, too, before the completion of the Northern Pacific, which is to connect Puget sound with the east. Evidently Washington will be ready for ad mission before the next decennial oensus is taken. She has now more population In- 13,000 than the state of Nevada. Arizona has come up from 0,508 inhabitants in 1S70 to 40,441 in 1880, the increase being chiefly due to the progress of the South ern Pacific railroad. So large a portion of her area is desert laud that her future growth cannot easily be predicted. Her mining resources are, however, so great, and thus far so scantily developed, that there can be little question that she will sooner or later have ample population to support a state government. The date of her ad mission cannot, we should say, be much farther off than the begin ning of the next decennial period. Montana, isolated among her mountains, ami accessible by only long and ftii perilous stage journies, lias no rapid growth to show. In 1S70 her population was 20,595: now it is 30,157. The completion of the Northern Pacific railroad, which is fast approaching her eastern frontier, and is to run up the valley of the Yellowstone within Iter borders for nearly 4K) miles, will soon make a great chaiigf in her situation, and will ojkmi the wa3' to tlte fetondy devel opment of her mineral and agricul tural resources. Her area is much tKi large for a single state, and will probably be divided into two territories at a line near the 100th meridian, in case the country, east of that line proves capable of sus taining a stable population. Tdalio doc not promise as well as Mon tana. Her arable area is limited to a few narrow vallevs Iving hirh up on the water-shed of the conti nent. She is awkwardly shaped, resembling on the map a leg of mutton, and has no geographical unity. Her present population is 32,01 1, a gain of 17,011 since 1S70. There is no early prospect of her becoming a state. Wyoming, al though traversed in her entire breadth by the Union Pacific rail road, has only 20,7S8 inhabitants. In lS70she had 9,1 IS. If she should continue to double her population every decade she would not be ready to come in as a state during the present century. The list ends with Alaska, which is likely to re main in a territorial condition to the end of time. Her white popu lation is less than 1,000, and her only valuable products are ice and sealskins. To recapitulate, we may expect the first new state to be Dakota, and after her in close succession New Mexico and Washington. If Dakota should be divided, the northern part, which may be called Pembina, will not be far behind Washington, Next in order of admission will probably be Mon tana and Arizona. Idaho, Utah and Wyoming are not likely to come in dining the next tn or fifteen wars. Marvd iMt that 1 say unto you, ye must pay the printer.

Monojiolies are springing up in all parts of the country, and to the long list of the corporations con troling railways, steamship lines, oil and sugar refineries, etc., must be added the Diamond match company, which lms bought up or "frozen out" all the factories in the eastern and central "part of the United States, with the exception of one factory in Portland, Maine. The principal object of the com pany is to retain the present tax on matches. The Boston Adver tiser gives an accout of the opera tions of this company and to that paper we an; indebted for the fol lowing facts: The Diamond match company issues all price lists, sup ply each manufacturer with stock for his trade, apportioning to each the amount he shall make, etc. Tin wood for matches is cut and prepared chiefly in Ncwhampshire and Michigan, ami is bought by the match-makers, whose business i largely simply dipping and packing. There is no patent on the cutting of matches excepting in the case of the process used by the Portland company, which cuts the match with knives, leaving them in cards of twent--threo close together. Matches are sold in cases of ten gross of bunches, 100 in a bunch, and where five cases are taken and cash is paid, the manufacturer receives $1 SS for each 144 bunches. Out of this he has to pay $1 44 for the revenue stamps, the law requiring a one-cent stamp for each bunch. If the stamp was not required the manufacturer could afford to sell his matches at for.y-four cents for a gross of bunches, while this ex-, emption would so encourage the small makers that it is believed by many in the trade that the jobbing price would be quickly reduced to thirty cents, whereas he now pays fifty-five cents. The trade gener ally believe that if congress ad journs without abolishing the match stamp act the price will be advanced, so that retail buyers will have to pay from fifteen vents to twenty-five cents more per gioss than now. The extent of the busi ness of match-making may be in fencd from tlie following statistics secured by a western maker from the internal revenue department of the amount of match stamps furnished to each stale last vear: Mahw MaiwtMt !.., (VtMMeetittM New York ..SIM JiM SK,3M , 3M.2: .

Such people seem to forget to lakr in e-nideration that our country is increasing in popu lation nearly 40 percent, every ten years, and no matter how old the place may be, there are constant changes taking place; some move to other parts, and strangers fill their places. In this ago of the world, unless the name of a business firm is kept constantly before the public, some new firm may start np, aniL by liberal advertising, in a very short time take the place of tlie older ones, and the latter rust out. as it were, and Ihj forgot ten.

Deputy Sheriff Thad Pay received a requisition from Gover nor Crittenden upon the Governor of Oregon, for the delivery to him of one Chas. McCrcary, formerly a druggist in that city, who left there two years and a half since under a cloud, having set fire to his store with the intention of de frauding the insurance companies. Deputy Pay received a letter a few days since from the warden of the penitentiary at Salem, Oregon, announcing that McCreary would complete his term at that place, whither he was sent for embezzle ment, on the ISth ult., and if he was wanted in Hannibal measures had better be taken at once to secure him. The papers received by Mr. Pay .were in answer to in formation telegraphed Governor Crittenden. Pay will leave for Oregon in a few days to secure his prisoner, and return with him to Hannibal, where the charge of arson awaits him. cHow can J tell whether Advertisement will attract ur turf " It. lr sifAiiy person who takes h ;-: regularly from a io$toffice vlift.-i .ii reetiil to his name or another'. r whether he has subscribed or not 1 re sjvonsilile tor the pay. yEd-An advertisement in a newsp.-.-per is worth forty "directory" eanN and other foolish imitations.

In something written we have an indistinct recollection of having made reference to a .genera! disposition among boys in their teens, as well as boys of matnrer years, to enlighten and bless the world with their pro found knowledge of the horse and his history. Our txoks and newspapers are full of this kind of literatnre, and it varies in style from the production of the child at school, commencing with: The horse has four legs and a tail; up to the eloquent tribute of the scholar when he quotes from Jeb: That his neck is clothed with thunder and the glory of his nostrils is terrible. He smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains -and the shouting. Between these two ex tremes of the child at his first school coniositioii, and the professional literature, we have every grade of pre tention, and each professing to have mastered the whole subject. As we approach the close of this nineteenth century, we begin to look for some thing better in this department of knowledge from those who assume to instruct" And it is to be found in Kendalls Treatise on the horse, sent by mail to any person for twenty-Jive cents, postage paid. Apply to The Astoriax office, or address D. C. Ire land, Astoria. Oregon. Uy a recent postal decision men can actually make money by getting their bills and statements of" accounts printed. Statements of accounts and bills of sale when made out on paper having printed headings, can be sent by mail for one cent, if the envelope is left unsealed; whereas, if it is made out on unprinted paper, it will cost three cents.
