A few words on the subject of the adaptation of the region beyond the Mis aisalppl and hilssorui to mail branches of industry not yet generally introduced or practiced may be of nom interest and profit just now, when so any people are thinning of going there. The State of Missouri, uth of the confluence of the Mlssissip'pi end Hie smut rivers, and from eighty to one bun • deed miles west of the Mississippi, Is generally hilly, rough, rocky and cover. ed with timber, much of It scrubby and of no great value. It is in the midst of just such a country that those vast depos its of iron ore, known as Iron Mountain, Pilot Knob, Shepherd Mountain, and others, see situated. In this roughtegion theta are many pretty and fertile Valleys, and both hills and valleys are well adrift. tad to the culture ofthir wine Witt other halts. Wed or gist nemesia the magnificent prairie region which stretches hundreds of miles in every direction, westward to the great plains, and northwards to Ds :gots, and * southward ,. to Texas. There is probably not In in the world another non of drat rate arable land so large and so beautifuL More then half of Miason ri iseruhraced in this tract, and more than half of Hemet—rase western part of the one, and the eastern pagf. of the other. Northern and western Miami,. lowa, and the eastern part of Nebraska are alao in it; so Is the Indian territory moth of Kenna, and so is a large part of Tex as. All these, with their artidrial geo graphical divisions, comprise one vast and unmet imbrokexabocty of good land, nearly the whole of which is or was prai rie, but where ail - the streams are more Or lea fringed with timber. Western Missouri and Kansas are now attracting the most attention, and of them we shall now particularly speak. The face of the country is much more undulating than that of Illinois. The soil has more sand in it, but not so much as to detract from its fertility. Except the bottom lands along the rivers and other streams, there is very little lend that is quite level in all that region, neither is there much but what is sal ciently so to admit of easy tillage. Those long and graceful undulations, often varied by more abrupt bluffs and circular and symmetrical mounds, give to the traveller ever-varying landscapes of sin gular beauty and sometimes grandeur. No land in all the country produces deer corn, -.nd none is more easily tilled as Boon as the prairie sod is rotted. It is a common practice to plow the sod early in May, and then, with an axe, or in strument made for the purpose, make in cisions in the overturned sod, into each of which three or four grains of corn are dropped and covered by a dash of the foot. There it grows without farther cal. ,1 dation; for, awing to the toughness of the sod, further cultivation Ia Impossible. This Il called "eon corn," and yields fronty4sto 40 bushels per acre, By the - 1 next spring, or in the fall of the same year, that sod is so thoroughly rotted that It pulverises easily, and the plow may be driven as thee m the team is able to draw it. Thus quicaly and easily is this soil put Into the finest tilth. The break ing of the sod, if hired, costs generally four dollars en acre; but any farmer can do It Übe has a breaking plow Ind a good team. A breaking plow has a sharp roll ing cutter which goes in advance of the share, cutting vertically through the sod to the depth that Is intended by the oper ator to turn it over. The crop of ea; corn generally pays all expenses. Bat there Is too much corn grown In that country, and it would add much to its prosperity were there a greater variety of crops Wheat does very well, and the breadth sown is rapidly increasing. Barley and oats alsi do well, better than in any of the States east of the Mises. eippi.. Bat corn 11 so sere a CTOD, its cultivation so simple and easy, and so little expense attends the gathering of it, that It is not strange that those new be &acre—often poor and struggling— Mould Dash its cultivation almost to the neglect of every other crop. In Minnesota and lowa spring wheat Is more largely cultivated than winter "betty but in western Missouri and Ban. *alba hinter varieties are greatly prefer red. It is sown early, or ought to be-- my, in the first half of September —so that strong covering of the ground may be secured. Thiskeepa the soil from be.

Most of the white population of Uolor• ado is gathered into towns—among the the mines this is especially true; the trading towns along the foot of the moun tains, of which Denver Is the first, out number the farmem and ranch-men; and on the plains the ranch-men used to keep close t•, the military or trading posts or' stage stations for Rarity, and are on'y beginning to settle out wherever the beat grass and water draw them. Not having yet visited the mountains, I ;hall not attempt to describe the mining towns hidden away In the gulches; but judging from hearsay and from their rep retentatives whom I have seen in the streets of Denver, I think they have a better population than the average 01'1 mining towns of California and Nevada. The pandts of placer mines, with their demoralizing alternations of failure and success may account for this. The tie• pression in mining operations, several years ago, scattered the 1001N3 population of adventurers, leaving mostly hard working men, many with families, and these with the return of better times and generous outside assistanee, nave now educational and religious institutions, superior to those of most new countries, and many of their homes have become such as would be proudly owned in the must. Of the mining towns, Central City, with six thousand people, is first, but Its cramped location, affording room for but one street, must prevent its growth. Georgetown, in the richest silver region, near the summit of the mountain., is growing fastest. Here are the mines from which ore worth $lOOO per ton Is largely shipped to Newark and other eastern cities, and to Swansea, in Wales. Last week Georgetown was almost half ruined by a gale, , which also destroyed much property in Denver and elsewhere. I will not attempt to individualize the minor mining towns, but pause down to the plains, where I stn more at home. Few persona who have not seen them have aright notion of the western military pasta, being misled by the universal 1 term "fort' Generally, they are In no sense forts, not even entrenched camps, but merely a number of expensive build ings enclosing a smooth parade ground, I and surrounded by a few squat— mile nf ' "reservation," which is newel to keep demoralizing influences at a distance. The patronage of the military officers and I men, however, builds op a little Sodent outside, where intemperance, the bane of our army, officers, has greater license than mine well regulated establishment ! of the "poet trader . " Except in the rich fuming snd grazing country to the south, few stations on the stages routes get to be towns. When they do, they have a ruder and more , wholesome character than the parasites of the military posts. Besides the cus tom of travelers and freighters, a con siderable trade Is curled on with friendly Indimie,„ hunters _tied ,Ithrtlemen. •The scarcity of building materials gives these little towns a queer:appearance. Some paces they have cotton wood enough for.. cabins ; in others a loose, cram* sand stone; another town has adobe walls, with canvass, grass, thatch, or and roof;' but where the soil will not work into adobes, boles are . dug In the tildes of bluffs and covered with poles, brush and earth, the hard and dry earth in situ, making good walls, floor, fireplace and - chimney. The station building itself is usually a good large frame, connected with a "dog out" part by a tunnel, to which the station keepers escape if at tacked by Indiads. The railroad towns of the plains am all much like those on the Union Pacific Railroad, which have been so often de. scribed. Each has its period of Inflated growth and sudden collapse,. When the house cars move on, the portable frames and canvas roofs are packed up and shipped ahead, and the deserted village maintains a flickering existence, depend. ent on the paltry patronage of railroad passengers, for as yet there are no stir. .rounding settlements to produce s local trade. Drinking, gambling and vice of all kinds flourish like fungi in these de. rayed towns. Many, however, will re. rive; on the Kansas Pacific as cattle marts; on the Union Pacific and Denver Pacific as the nuclei of settlements for farming by Irrigation. Several, such as Evans on the Denver Pacific and Kit Carson on the Kansas Pacific, will con tinue prosperous after casing to be rail road termini, by virtue of their 'Bastions. The latter will be the shipping point for all the Southern Colorado and New Mex ico trade, but as I intend spending part of the winter there I shall not speak fur ther of It now. All the purely commercial towns of Colorado lie near the foot of the moun tains. Of these several claim to be for midable rivals to Denver. I have not yet seen any of the others, but have be come well acquainted with many of the merchants of this place. Moat of the wholesale business of Colorado is done here, and on such liberal terms that, al lowing for freight, I could observe no sp. preciable advance over Bt. Lints prices. Nor is there anything of the feverish ex citement and overdoing things which Is characteristic of Chicago, bat rather the quiet assured style of Philadelphia or St. Louis. So too their buildings, are nearly all good and substantlal,• business holism' mostly of brick, dwellings of brick, , gravel of frame, and in better taste than L those of most places I have seen. The city is built on an easy slope, extending t back nearly two miles from the South Platte elm and irrigated by an acquit which taps the same river twenty miles ' above. Shade trees are planted in every street and Irrigated gardens surround most of the dwellings. In two or three years Denver will be as luxuriantly green as Salt Lake City, and will not be disfigured by such outlandish features as suit the tastes of oar Monson neighbors. From every part of Denver two hundred miles of the Rocky Mountains can be ISCIM, fording an endless feast of sublime and beautiful scenery, varying with each boor of the day, or season of the year, clang. lag with each change of weather, and often at the same time part bathed in BIM. shine and part wrapped In storms. Such scenery, and' ther higher auncuons than tame moneymaking have tended to draw to.Darver a higher class of people than arercommonly found in such sparsely settled countries. With the completion of railroads the society orfew places will excel that of Denver, and It will be none the Worse for a dash of the primp:tenets of the frontier. O. J. I= From the VCILT.IO Bank, in Maine, cue went to the Supreme Court of the United States, which Involved the ques tion of the constitutionaJity of the tax on Btate,hanks. Chief Justice Chase, in his decision, iiMrms the constltutionality o the act. He says it may be assumed that the words direct urea, as need In the Constitution, compreheidi only Mints' tion taxes, and taxes an land, and, per. hare, taxes on personal property, by general valuation and asseument of the various descriptions possessed within the several States. The decision concludes es follows : Baying, in the exercise of uninvited constitutional powcr,,nodertaken to pro, vide a currency for the whole country, it cannot be questioned that Congress may constitutionally secure the benefit of it to the public by appropriate legislation. To this end, Congress has denied the quality of legal tender to foreign, coins, and has provided by law against the Imposition of Counterfeit and bate coin on the cam. munity. To the acme end, Cotutresi may dlsConrage . by suitable enactments the circulation as money of any notes not leaned under its own authority, Without this power, Indeed, its attempts to secure a wand ead,unifortn currency for the county tout be futile. • Viewed in this light. as well as in the other light of a duty on contracts or propertnwe cannot doubt the constitutkinelity of the tax under corialderation.
