ff all the reserved sections could be sold at

They were brought into market in July,
1882; and up to September 30, 1853, Zone year
and three months there had been sold in ILL
nois at the double price, only 1850 acres,
md the amount over the ordinary price re-

Guiding all additional expenses, one dollar in

But when this argument is met by facts
which disprove it, another is resorted to, that
these railroad grants greatly increase the sales
OF the public lands. Again the facts disprove
this, also.
There was more land sold in 1886 than there
has been sold for tho last twelve years up to
January, 1853, (the returns for 1853 are not
yet all made) Yet this railroad system THAT
is said 30 rapidly to increase tho salcs had been
in full operation for two or three Of the last
years. The lowest sales in any one year were
in 1882, (less than 100000 aores,) being the
very year the reserved sections on the Central
railroad were brought into market

the head of Washington A handsome and neat
to the wearer but often one OF extreme torture this
is caused by the bungling in which the boot
is fitted to the foot. Mr.. Janney has devoted much
Of his time in studying the construction Of the human
foot in order to ascertain how boot should be cut
and fitted that will be perfectly easy to all parts of
the foot In this he has succeeded that il matters
not what may BIO the shape Of the number of corns
on tho foot his boot is perfectly easy Thus he has
combined beauty with comfort.
