The GRADUATION AcT.-The following,
from the st. Louis Intelligencer, shows the
rule for the entry of lands under the Gradu-
alton Act:
An affidavit has been sent out from the
land office bureau, requiring all who entered
lands at the reduced price of twelve and
half cents per acre, to swear that they arc
now in the occupancy of said lend and have
cultivated a portion of it y and also COR
roboratng affidavit has to be made by some
friend of The person who entered the land,
stating that he knows " him to be the identi-
cal person who entered said land, and that
he has been residing on said land" This
regulation completely upsets the calcula-
tions of parties who entered these lands for
speculative purposes only, who, though they
they were under the impression that they
could make the affidavit, in the first place,
cannot find it in their consciences to swear
to those now sent out by the Department,
as necessary to the perfection of their titles.
1t is said that bill is to be sent to con-
gress, which will provide for refunding mon
ey to those who have purchased of this char
acter, and cannot comply with the require
ments Of the Department.

A BARBARoCs DuEL.-The Rome (Ga.)
Courier has an account of duel lately fought
near Dallas, Paulding county. The parties
were Wiley Jones and VIM. Bane, relatives
They fonght with rifles and fired three times
At the first shot part of Jones's left ear was
shot off. The parties not being satisfied
they reloaded and fired part of Jones's right
ear lock being cut Off by the ball of his an
agonist. They were still not satisfied
loaded again and fired, Bane's ball passing
through Jones's hat, just above his head
Jones then made at his antagonist with the
rife and attempted to knock him down with
it; but Bane got the advantage, knocked
him down and beat his brains out, and fed
unhurt. Jones died Immediately, and up to
the latest accounts Bane had not been arres-
ted.

INTERESTING TO BIOLOGISTS. Mr.. w.
Getchel, while blasting rock on the west
bank of the Mississippi, near the mill in Min
neapolis, discovered the petrifed remains of
fish of which the st. Anthony Express
gives the following description: 1t exhibits
the perfect form of fish. about three feet in
length, in solid limestone, the shape of the
body, head, eyes, mouth and other parts be-
ing perfectly preserved, and represented. 1t
was obtained about four feet below the sur
face of the rock The drill run through one
edge of the fish, and the blast split the fish
through the middle, throwing out one half the
entire fish, but also breaking it across about
a foot from the head. The other half we un-
derstand still lies in the rock. We are not
able to state to what family or species the
above mentioned specimen belongs, but esti-
mate its age at from fifty to seventy-fye
thousand wears.

The n Y. Tribune contains accounts of
the movements Of southern men to Kansas
having immediate reference to making 1t a
slave state. The men who are going there
for this purpose admit that when they shall
have succeeded in their mission, they shall
return home. 1t is this class mainly who
will vote, while in Kansas, to curse that ter
ritory with slavery. Those who intend to
make it their houe, are, as a general thing
whether fom the north or south, in favor Of
making it free state. We have already, on
il former occasion, alluded to debe te in the
Georgia legisla ture, where the speaker avow
ed that the sending of bona fide emigrants 10
Kansas with a view of making it ID slave
state, was almost a hopeless proceeding. He
declared that Of some eighty persons who had
gone from Tennessee seventy odd voted The
free state ticket at the last elections and that
Of ten or dozen from Georgia. but one was
found faithful to slavery. Thus it would
seem that another class Of persons have been
selected to aid in carrying out the work be-
gun BY the border rufiians. As real Migrants
cannot be trusted, fictitious ones have been
substituted whose whole object is TO get sa
very established in the territory, and then
uuit it, movement of this sort seems
preposterous and unlikely to succeed but it
is really the one for which the south is best
adapted, and in which they are most likely
20 be successful 1t harmonizes more fully
with the southern spirit than any other II
looks to excitement, contest, and bloodshed.
and. while the question remains open, feeds
the fires Of youthful combativeness. An en-
igration to fight Yankees can be started in
the south among the sons Of the chivalry,
when an emigration 10 settle the territory
would wholly fail In the one case the
Young bloods enlist to 90 to war; in the
other TO 90 to work. The former appeals to
their pride; the latter excies their disgust
We have faith, however, that even this
scheme will not be backed BY sufficient en-
ergy to secure success. We are sure it will
not if the free states do their duty.

HABIT OF CoMPLAINING.- Children some
times get trick OF grumbling at everything
that seems to go wrong, instead of patiently
bearing the little vexations which will hap
pen to everybody, and which happen very
often too. There is a way of looking cheer
fully at little crosses, and of trying to make
the best of what is annoying. And there is
another way of fretting at what cannot be
helped, and of making yourself and every
body else uncomlort able, by this constant
