where DO Men 60 who Die a. chiearo !

Some years ago, when Chicago was in lis
infancy, stranger took up his quarters at the
principal hotel. and Inscribed his name on the
register as 'Mr. J., Of ST. Louis" For
several days he remained there, engaged in
transsciing the business which had brought
him to the place, and From his exceedingly
plain dress, manners, and general appearance,
attracted but little attention.
Soon Mr.. j. WIS suddenly seized with
illness, during which he was sadly neglected
by his host; and the servants taking their tone
from the master OF the house, left him 10 shift
for himself as best he could. Thus matters
vert on, till one morning he was found past
praying for. HIS papers were then examined,
that the sad intelligence might be commnn-
Gated TO his friends; when, 10 the surprise Of
all, he wac found to be one of the wealthieSt
men in the westeSn country.
Arrangements were accordingly made for the
funeral, bul, before the last rites were per-
formed the subse. came 10 life again, having
been the victim oi cataiepsy, instead OF the
"grim King of TeTOrS.' All were overioyed
at hlS fortunate escape from sodreadful fate,
aud from that time were pToluse in their ex
preSs:onS OF Sollcitude, eliclied, however, if
we may be judges, by "1ocumentary evil
dence," rather than by any personal regard.

sioneT recommends better provision for Temu-
nerating land Offices, with allowances for clerk
hire d Office ren:.
OF the operation of the Graduation law, the
report says: "Judging from the reports receiv-
ed, has been productive Of much ffaud and
perjury, and proved seriously injurious 10 ;he
actual settlers on the public domain. AS Ear
as practicable, these evils have been remedied
by construction and Instructions; but the law
is Inherently defective. Ii il be designed TO
engrait that feature permanently on our land
system, the privilege OF purchasing at the grad
uatsd price, should have been limited TO pre-
enplorS, or made genelal 10 all. Now, ii is
a ledged, that persons take the oath required
by the law with the mental qualification that
the land will be required for actual settlement
and cultivation at the future time. Others; it
is stated, have employed men 10 60 forward
and make the affidavit, paying all their expen-
seS, and also paying for Tie and-the employ
er agreeing 10 give his employees, in fee SIM
Pie, portion, say an eighth or a quarter Of
the land sc entered, retaining the balance"
The difficulties are further explained, as
will be seen in the report. The Commissioner
dlsCusSes at length the granting Of land TO The
States, and for railroads and other improve
mentS. With regard 10 the Pacific Railroad,
he says: The necessity of such a moae OF
communication becomes daily apparent, and
| that the only way it con be secured is by
| grants Of land, and adds, that should the land
| system be clipped, this work and all Others Of
| like character will be rendered impracti"aDle.
II the object sought in the passage Of tie
Graduation Act was to get rid OF the lands as
Soon as pracncab.e, he says, there Is but little
doubt that the object will be attained By It.
Il, on the contrary, the suppOstIon was hat
tie lands would not sell for more, his state
menls, he preSumeS, will show that SuppOS-
ton to be erroneous.
| The sales have always been equal 70 the
demand; the supply far, very far beyond it,
The demand at the reduced prices will he m
creased, but chiefly 70: purposes of specua-
ton, and the hardy, enerprslng settler, in
Stead Of dealing with kind and paierpaI Gov .
ernment in the purchase of his lands, and Sc
curing perfect title, will have 10 look 10 the
wealthy monopOlst, and trust 10 hIS lender
merceS, with The risk that his title is encum-
bered with prior liens and mortgages.
With such views the Commissioner says the
natural suggestion is that the graduation law
be radically amended, if it lie The pleasure oI
Congress 10 engra!t permanently on The land
system; and, in that event, il is further sug-
geSed that The 12A cent class be abo liShed, OF
rather donated 10 The States respectively III
which they lie, as The profit will scarcely de-
Tray The expense Of diSpoSng Of them.

Report of the Secretary of the Navy.

The Secretary OF the Navy recommends an
additional but gradual increase OF the Navy;
lis re organization, and the enactment of new
regulations for the discipline ndimpro' ement
Of seanen. The movements of the various
Squadrons are reported in detail. The sloop
OF war Albany, was last heard from at ASpin-
wall on the 28lh September, when she left for
New York. Painful anxiety is felt touching
her fate. The steamer nnccton was sent in
search Of her few days since. Lieut. Strain
and party are complimeuted for enterprise, end
exhibition OF powers, Of endurance and gener-
Gus devotion TO in the exploration Of the Dari.
en- Ship Canal Ioute. The result arrived at is
that the proposed Canal is impractcable and
this, the Secretary apprehendS, settles the
question forever. The bombardment Of Grey
Town by the sloop Of war Cyane is narrated,
aud Immediately approved. Commodore Perry
is highly complimentej for his success in ia
pan. The Secretary does not propose 10 in
crease the number of officers nor mattTi j.
ly enlarge the squadrons, and thereby largely
increase the current expenses, nor have a ma

the navies OF European Empowers, but TO increase
thr material # our navy so at least 10 approx
linate to a state OF readiness Tor emergencies,
which wise statesmen strive 10 avoid, but wi
ser statesmen prepare 10 meet. The Secretary
renews his recommendations Of last year for
the reorganization of the Navy; the creation
OF a retired list ofinfrm officers; the discharge
Of the inefficient, and 10 have promotions reg
ulated by capacity and merit in some degree,
instead Of by seniority Of commission and paw
TO some extent controlled by sea-service. So
far as he has aulho ity these views will guide
his action, even without legislation. The
Secretary is fsr from recommending The resto-
ration Of flogging. The experience of the navy

urgent necessity for sone substitute, accom-
panied with plan Of reward os we'll as pun.

ter the inconsideraie, 10 reward equally sure

which promote discipline. He recommends
that the commander Of any vessel be author

for the trial Of petty officers and those below
them that they have power to punish by dis
honorable discharge in any port, OF by contin-
ument on reduced ratons, and without pay,

ges. 1t is the SecTetery's purpose to immedi-
ately adopt, in modified form, the apprentice
system, and To encourage the enlistment Of
American boys from IA until 81 years Of age;
10 train them FIRST on receiving ship, then on

LAND COMMISSIONERS REPORT.

WeNtake the following excellent abstract o
the Land Commissioners Annual Report from
the N. Y. Tribune:
During the year ending June 80, there were
1895, 900 acres sold for cash; 3.l42,0UO loca-
ted by land warrants, and 1900 by other GER
tlicates; 100000 reported as swamp lands
and rs. 600 internal improyement-makns
a total of 23238, Sl3 acres. For the las
quarter 4,TSO,O 900 acres were disposed Of
being altogether an increase Of sales amount
Ing 10 $500, 900 acres over the previous year
though there is dimlnutnn Of 100000, in
GLIDING land warrants and swamp transac.
tons-the difference being caused by the. fac
that the most Of the grants for bounty lands
swamps, ralr ads, &c, had previously been
disposed of. The sales for the third quarter o
the current calendar year are more than twice
as heavy as those for the corresponding guar
ter of the previous year, though the locations
are less numerous. From the 3Oth day Of
September 1853, 10 the 30th day Of September
1854, 1894, AGA acres were surveyed, chiefly
in Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Florida,
and 7,l90, 92S acres were brought into market
This is exclusive OF the surveys in California

27l acres, which have not yet been proclaim
ed for sale. The Commissioner says, on an
average, full one third more business has been
done in the Office during the past year thar
in the preceding, of the 26,542, I6O acres en-
tered by the land warrants now issued, %,
235, $50 acres have been located, eavlng only
4. 3O1, $50 acres 10 be satisfied. The repor
gives a minute detail Of the laborS Of the De-
partment, and recommends more secure depo
sits for The books and papers; and then pre-
sents the operations of the various State ant
Territorial Surveys. With regard 10 railroaC
lands, it is stated that at the instance OF sev
eraI members of Congress and others, abou
81 ,OO0, 900 of acres in several Of the LAM
States had been withdrawn from market, il
anticipation of grants for Iailrosds and othel
internal improvements.
As such grants were not made, II was deem
ed expedieHt to restore these masses Of land
to market, especially in view Of the passage
of The bill graduating the price Of public lands,
and this has been done, excert where the res
ervalion wOs for Q fixed period, or had already
been made. In view Of the increase os bnsi
ness consequent on the operations Of the law
graduating the price Of the public lands, and
the decrease in the compensation Of the land

1t is a long ably and carefully
document, and cannot fail 10 excite feeling
oI admiration, if not surprise, at its clear ex'
hibL of the successful workings Of a posta
system without parallel in the world for sim
plicity and extent. For the convenience o.
the reader, we make up the following alb.
stract:
There are 2S, ,54S post Offices in the United
Safes; the annual compensation of 257 oI
which amount 10 81 coo and upwards. Du
ring The last year, 1892 Offices were estab'
ished and 6l4 discontinued Number o
poSlmaslers appointed during the same time,
1868. Removals, 1,917.\ Number Of mail
routes, 6,697. Number Of mail contractors,
l5,l67. Total annual transportation Of mails,
$685., ,0O5 miles, a cost OF S4,630, ,676; thus
81, 1851 $50 miles by modes notspecifed, at Q
cents per mile; 0,S90,530 miles by coach, al
cents per mile; l5,43S,3S9 miles by rail
road, at IL cents4 mills per mile; 5,195,4>6
miles by steamboat, OF cents mills per
mile. Increase in the transportation during
the past year p per cent.
The expenditures Of the department du-
ring the past year were SS,5II424 %, and
the revenue S6,955,5s6 %. To the fOtmeT
must be added el33, ,4S3 SS balances due for
eign offices, which would leave the total def
cheney for the year 1854 at Si,755.32t 3D.
The deficiency for the year 1853 was S2,l17,-
07S 20 leaving difference in favor OF 1853
$36l ,75G. The increase IN the revenue OF
1854, compared with the revenue Of 1858, is
$50 1899 4S- OF about 10 per cent.
The Postmaster General alludes at consider
able leEgth to the difficulties between the de-
IpaHneht aud railroad companies relative to
The rates OF compensation for carrying the
