LANDS IN KANSAS TERRITORY Inquiry hav-

are locatable with bounty land warrants, we
learn that the public lands in that Territory
will be subject to location with bounty land
arrants after they shall have been surveyed,
offered at public sale, and become subject to
private entry; that at present there are no
lands subject to private entry in the Territory
and consequently none now subject to location
with warrants. The Indian trust lands, how
ever, to be sold for their benefit will not be sub
ject to such location. Washington Eve. Star.

JENNY LIND recently paid visit to Paris, and
created quite a sensation. The fair vocalist,
however, for some reason or other, has never
yet permitted the Parisans to listen to the ex-
quisite tones of her ordinary voice, 1t is
stated that during her stay at the French cap
itol, she was seen one night at the Comic Opera,
but remained only until after the first act. A
letter writer says: "She rarely went out, and
only two or three times to the theatres in the
evening, and TO the exhibition during the day,
endeavoring to maintain everywhere the strict
est ineognito, and running away as soon as she
was recognized"
SIT is added that two or three distinguished
visitors succeeded in obtaining an interview
with Jenny, and she listened to their compli-
ments without frowning, but it was impossible
to draw from her an answer. She did not
speak word, not the least monosyllable Her
friends say in excuse that she does not know
French, but this is fable. Jenny Lind speaks
French as well as any German singer, not ex-

A TROUT FISH LIVING IN WE'LL TWENTY
FIVE YEARs.--Mr. f Hoyt, q correspondent Of
the Country Gentleman, writing from South
East, New York, November 10Th, says:
Can any one tell how long trout fish will
live' Twenty-Five years the past summer I
came on the farm where now am Almost the
first work that did after getting in my spring
crops, was to drain bog swamp, the outlet Of
which leads into the Groton river. I had an
old Scotchman to do the ditching. One day he
brought up trout fish about the size of a mans
little finger, in his whisky jug, (by the by, We
used little on the farm then Iput it in the
well, near the house; and it is there now, grown
to Q goodly size-say about foot long, and
large in proportion. 1t has been fed but very
little once in q while some one throws in
grasshopper, or a cricket, to see him catch it.
The we'll is thirty feet deep, and water hard,
and settles down nearly to the bottom, and then
again rises to near the top. He has been taken
out few times to clean the we'll, but not for
the last five years. Friday last, got grass
hopper, the last expect to see this fall, and
gave it to him. The water is now twenty five
feet deep, but it hardly touched the surface be-
fore he had it. If any onelhas fish older than
mine, / would like to know it.
