GENERAL LAND ovricE, February 10, 1886.

These lands are, for the most part, unsaleable,
being destitute of timber, and remote from any
cheap means Of conveyance; and they will remain
so for many years to come, unless made valuable by
artificial means; and the same may be said OF
much larger bodies Of unsaleable land twenty and
thirty miles from these roads. They will be made
valuable by their constructions new and power
ul impulse will be given TO their purchase; the ben
efts OF which, in a money view, will wholly enure
TO the United States. Such a disposition Of por-
ton of the residuum of this trust fund, by which
such results to be produced, cannot be mPolitic
or unwiBe.
Some regard, too, should be paid, in the opinion
of the committee 10 the interests Of the State
nected with the sale and settlement OF these lands.
That they should remain vacant, uncutiyated, yield
ing nothing in the way Of taxes TO support its gov
eminent or TO pay It's debts is unjust to her, and
should have its influence with Congress in the adop
ton of measure which, without being injurious to
the United States shall benefit the State. The com
mitee believe that the interests both Of the United
States and Of the State will be greatly promoted by
the grants, and recommend that they be made to
the extent asked for, being confident that the results
TO flow from them will fully vindcate the wisdom Of
the act. As the original bill does not provide for a
right of way over the public lands, the committee
propose to amend it by additional section confer
ring that right being satisfied that such an easement
will rather accelerate than reard their sale. The
committee also propose TO strike out all that part of
section which provides that the lands reserved to
the United States shall not be sold at less price
than double the minimum when sold, believing
that if the lands can be made TO sell at the min
mum price, by the construction Of these works,
il is all the United States should expect or
desire, they being now regarded as wholly un-
saleabe without such improvements, except al a
price much below the present minimum. The ef-
feet of the bill will be to them to sell at the
minimum, and the compensation to the United
States will be, not only by their sale, but by the
knIi anfI Land Ia.
able at present prices and in their present unavor-
| able condition. ...
The committee believe, in view of the facts pre-
scented by them, and of the immense interest the
United States possess in the public lands, contain
ing such diversity Of soil and advantages, and so
long in market unsold, that the policy recommend
ed, of making liberal grants of them for improve.
meats, whereby they can be made accessible and
saeabe, is not usisiass. enc, and, f not the best
is far preferable to that policy which permits them
to remain mere waste possession; contributing no
revenue TO the nation, nor to the States in which
they lie.

(From the New York Geological Institute,)
Will open for exhibition in Washington on MONDAY
and TUESDAY, the 18th and 18th instant,
FOR TWO DAYS ONLY!
A LII the most prominent and rare specimens OF
N NATURAL HrsroRy will be found in the collec-
ton many of which have not been heretofore exhlb-
tied in the United States.
The science Of natural history opens wide field
for surous investigation. Nature shows itself under
such diversity of forms and dispositions IN the
brute CREATION that close observation OF them is al
ways a matter Of instruction and amusement. 1t IS
needless to say, that visit to well-aTanged mena-
gere isthe only opportunity that the greater portion
Of a community enjoy Of beholding the hercer and
more formidable portion Of natures works. Its adj
vantages are apparent. There, entirely free from
danger, and almost at one view, are behold the most
ferocious monsters terrible to the countries which
they inhabit, together with those more remarkable
for their beauty or singularity of form.
The exhibition Of this Menagerie is rendered in
tensey interesting by the wonderful and unparal-
leled performances Of Mr.. PIERCE, the great Ma
poleon of the Age, with lions leopards, grizzly
bears, &c. This great artistic will fondle, caress,
strike various attitudes and render himself appar-
emily as one Of these animals in their den. After
this he assumes command, orders each their respec-
tive departments, and finally signazes himself by
driving an african Lion in harness
A superior Brass Band is attached to the estab-
lishment.
On Monday, doors open from to and 81 to

On Tuesday, from 10 to l2l a. M; and from 9 to 5
