Dacotah.
On our outside will be found the Mes
sage of Gov. Barber, of the Slate of
Dacotah," to which we call attention.
Dacotah was formerly embraced in the
Territorial Government of Minnesota and
I claims to be a Stat has elected her Gov
ernor, Senate and (louse of Repr^scsita-
remember that, her climate is thought tin
suited to slave labor, that Territories
expecting to become. Free-labor States, are
required to be humble, and wait.
A little humility is irood for us all
and very young Misses should ucver be
saucy with old, guardian Uncles. It
would have been much better for Miss
Dacotah to persevere in claiming the
guardian care of a minor child, than to
set up a claim to the dignity of twenty-1
one.
Gov. Barber is, no doubt, correct about
the location of thc Capital. Thc head of
Red River will, doubtless, be a very im
portant point and the continuation
of the Rail Road from thence on across
Dacotah toward the Rocky Mountains
is of momentous import in the plnn of
connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans by railway but Dacotah needs a
Territorial, not a State, government and
Congress could not long have refused to
organize it.
We do not believe in the doctrine of
Popular Sovereignty—that is, in the right
of a Territory with one, two, three or four
thousand inhabitants to come into thc
Union, and exercise as much influence in
the United States Senate as a State with
as many hundred thousand citizens. We
do not believe that ten thousand millions
of men could have aright to rob any one
man of any one of his natural rights,
hence we hold that the whole outcry about
Popular Sovereignty is a bundle of Soph
istry but Dacotah, so far as Ave know,
does not propose to set up any despotism
over any portion of her inhabitants. She
only claims an influence equal to New
York, in United States Senate and to
this she is not entitled. True, she has
precedent in her favor, and is better enti
tied to a place in a family of Republican
States than South Carolina, but one wrong
dues not justify another and Dacotah
should be a Territory, not a State.
However, we congratulate our friend
Gov. Barber upon his accession to the
gubernatorial chair and wish him a large
measure of prosperity, although he did
try to beat us on beets, last summer, by
sending down a bundle of his Red River
esculents and though he did not keep his
promise to act Breckenridge reporter for

WEATHER.—For two weeks past we
have been having the most gloriously beauti
ful weather that ever gladdened any por
tion of the Earth's surface. Old winter
could not possibly have put on a more
winsome garb.
There is about five inches of snow on the
ground, the mercury has been coquetting
with freezing point, so that our snow has
packed close for sledding without melting
even on Southern slopes.
The greater part of the time our days
have been full of sunshine and at night
"my bonny lady moon" has given an a
bundance of light to enable folks, of ordi
ary vision, to read such print as that of
our paper. Then, our glorious atmosphere
with its peculiarly exhilerating and blood
circulating properties, the gingle of the
sleigh bells and the creak of the snow
under sled loads of produce coming to
mill or market, the pleasant faces of our
highly favored citizens and predominance
of the soft brown and grey tints of our
leafless timber lands, varied with clusters
of evergreen and illuminated by our gor
geous sunsets and sunrises make up a set
of reasons for living happy, which it re
quires some considerable exertion success
fully to resist.
Taxes.
Our citizens are, very generally, indig
nant at the Tax Notices served upon them,
this week, by B. OVERBECK, Tax Collec
tor.
Property is taxed thirteen mills on the
dollar, and nothing appears to be exempt
while thc Assessor, alone, is the sole judge
of how much property each one ha ?.
Some are taxed largely for money at
interest, who have not one dollar loaned,
but are paying heavy interest on money
borrowed. There is no Court of Appeal,
or if there is, no notice was given. The
Assessor is L. ROBERS, the gentleman
who wanted to be elected to Legislature,
last fall and this tax is a remnant of the
Moccasin rule in our county.
Thc Town tax is to be paid over to thc
Chairman of the Board of Supervisors,
who is not required to give bonds and
has already drawn §1-1,000 from the Coun
ty Treasury, which are not accounted for.
Our Moccasin Governor will not call
thc Legislature, for fear they would elect
an Anti-Moccasin Senator and so our
people can have no redress. They cannot,
for two years, get a law granting a Court
of Appeal, or requiring notice. Some
talk of organizing and forcibly resisting
the Collector. Wc think it is bettor to
pay the taxes, this time, and next Fall
vote the whole Moccasin tribe into oblivi
on, and elect honest men to take their
places.
FAT VENISON.—No surer test of the
superior quality of our pasturage could be
offered than the venison brought to mar
ket. We have haunches iu the house
with an inch of fat lying all over on the skin
side and the entire hollow under thc
tender loin lillcd out with kidney tallow
while the meat is of a bright red, tender
and juicy.
Until this season, we had supposed
Venison was always dark and lean meat
but this is all a mistake. A roast of our
venison yields a pan of drippings as rich
as we have ever seen from a roast of beef.
Thc family of T. ALDEN have used, as
their staple winter light, candles made
from the tallow of the deer he has killed.
Mr. NOEL, our present teacher, has
killed eight deer this season but hasCorn
left the chase for the schoolroom, where
he is likely to be quite as successful as in
his Ninirod excursions.
Fashions.
In sweeping or mopping the floor with
one's skirts they enable one to go over
five times the space in the same time and
it is quite incredible the ease they impart
to greasing, befiouring, scorching and tear
ing dresses, knocking over chairs and
small stands, dragging off table covers,
breaking vases, burying children and
small men and various other useful and
ornamental performances.
When parlors are six feet square, hoops
should always be eight feet across, as this
greatly aids a hostess in accommodating
large companies and makes things pleas
ant all round.
Bonnets arc three inches deep from the
edge of tho brim to the toj) of the crown
and made of velvet or blond to suit the
taste of the wearer. The trimming may
be feathers, ribbonds, blonde or flowers, no
matter so there is plenty of it and no part
of the fabric of which the bonnet is made
is visible.
When the Mercury is from ten to twen
ty degrees below zero, a bonnet made of
alternate strips of gimp and blonde, cov
ered with flowers and pinned fast to the
back of the head, is found exceedingly
comfortable, especially if one has some
distance to ride or walk. To have the
entire top of the head uncovered, and a
little funnel on thc back part to collect
the wind around the bumps of combative
ness, is found to harmonize beautifully
with a woolen shawl eight double, and
wadded furs, around the shoulders.
Fur caps are also worn, by ladies, made
with a bow of ribband in front, instead of
a brim, and, for sitting in a well heated
church, make a convenient arrangement
for any amount of influenza.
The plan of ladies wearing, in winter,
some light covering of thc head to be
protected while out of doors, by a hood
or cowl that shall be removed upon going
into a heated church is one which is to be
considered shortly prior to the Millennium.
For gentlemen's head-dresses, the la
test are made from the hinder half of the
skin of a wolf. It is dressed into the form
of a dowd nightcap, lined and wadded,
and made to come well forward over the
face, like thc brim of a Cottage bonnet
the skin of the two hind legs are used as
strings, to tie it under tho chin the tail
of the animal hangs over the coat collar,
between the shoulders, of the wearer and
the head-dress has a unique and charming
effect.
Another of almost equal elegance is
made from thc skin of a fox into the form
of an ordinary fur cap except, that, in
stead of a brim, the nose of the animal
lies between his two front paws, directly
over the forehead ot the wearer. Two
glass buttons fill the place of the eyes
white paper or wax teeth between the
