Sufficient time has not elapsed since
this law took effect TO enable me to de-
terminc its practical workings with any
degree Of accuracy. 1t may be well to
observe in this connection thst its opera
tons do not appear to be in any respect
unsatisfactory to that class of citizens
which it was more particularly designed
to benefit and encourage. If the spirit
and intent of the law is faithfully carried
out by the benehciaries to whom its re-
suits are confined, it will doubtless be
productive of large amount of practical
good to the best interests of the State.
We have sold of this class of lands, in
GLIDING those offered at the public sale
in May, 1883 acres, amounting to $685.
1920. There has been received on ac-
count of principal interest and penalty,
SS0,6S2,37. The aggregate sales during
the past fiscal year have not equaled the
expectations of those best calculated to
form a correct estimate. This is owing
mainly to the depression of business and
the consequent scarcity of money. Up
to the cessation of the war in Europ, and
while large movements of the cereal pro-
ducts of the West were constantly oc-
curing at remunerative prices, the sales
of this class of lands were gradually in
crcasing, and promised to confirm the
convictions of the most sanguine. I'm
mediately, however upon the reception OF
the news of the sudden and unexpected
termination of that war, rapid falling
of was observed in the sales.
If other patents are not soon received,
the sales for the ensuing year will not be
likely to exceed those Of the past, but on
the contrary will probably be less. The
following table will show the sales by
counties, as required by law

Fluctuations of Lake Erie.

A correspondent of the Cleveland Her
aid discusses the fluctuations of Lake Erie
with reference to the artificial obstruc.
tons at Black Rock. The general con-
clusion at which he arrives is that the
works at this point have little or nothing
to do with the floods. He bases this on
the fact that fluctuations occur in all the
lakes, and that periods of high and low
water were as well marked prior to the
construction of Black Rock pier as since
He says:
From 1S41 to 1859 the rise has not
been regular, but always higher than in
1871. The water no doubt reached in
1859 one of its EXAMINATIONS, from which
it will decline. Thus, according to the
best authority, the periods of high and
low water may be stated as follows:

When we consider the variations of
climate, in different years, instead of at
taching any mystery to such fluctuations,
the wonder is that they are so limited.
There are variations of more than ten
inches IN the annual fall Of rain of the
Lakeregion. Asthe territory over which
it falls is about three times as large as
the Lakes, into which it is discharged, a
change Of thirty inches might thus ocur
in one year, were there not reciprocal
ing agents in the state Of the atmosphere
AS the country is cleared of timber, the
effect is to cause the waters ofour streams
to find their way to the Lakes more rap
idly than when the country was wider
ness. This is evidenced by the univer-
sal increase Of foods. Since it remains
less period of time spread out on the
surface of the earth and is sooner gath
cred into its natural reservoirs, the evap-
Grafton is less than formerly. Here is a
reason why there should be floods in the
Lakes, in our days, above those Of ancient
times 'd

Since then no patents have been re-

as much matter Of uncertainty as ever.
Tn reply to our last communication on
this subject, the Commissioner of the
General Land Office says:
"To your inquiry respecting the adj
ustment of the grant in Michigan, | will
say that we shall proceed at an early
day TO make examination of the lists of
land claimed, with view Of submitting
additional lists for approval. The great
pressure on the branch of the Office hav-
ing this grant in charge is the reason
why the business has been retarded"
From this We infer that there will be
no delay which can be reasonably avoid
cd in the transmission Of such other pat
cnts as are due under this grant. / en-
terrain hope that a final adjustment Of
this question will occur, upon equitable
and satisfactory terms, before the expra-

PRIMARY SCHOOL LANDS.

OF this class of lands, there has been
sold during the last fiscal year 4.791,19
acres, amounting to $20,29l 76. The
gross amount Of receipts, for principal,
interest, and penalty, to the fund is $780,
559.2l. a comparison of the sales of the
last with those of former years shows a
large dimunition in the quantity of lands
sold, but no corresponding decrease in
the aggregate receipts. This cannot fail
to be gratifying intelligence to the ad-
mircrs Of the primary school system
We now have of these lands in the Up

QUEsTIoN.-The London Times, in lead
er on Slavery in the United States, and
the rcvulsion in favor of the Southern
States caused by the vagarics of the Abo-
litionists, says:
The union of the American people is
not only of importance TO themselves, but
to the world at large. 1t has been fully
proved, not only on the American eonti-
nent, hut in our own colonies, that the
enforced equality of the European and
African, tends not only to the elevation
of the black, but to the degradation OF
the white man. We cannot find any
sympathy for those who would try in the
United States the plan of half cast re.
public; and we trust that the Federal
Government, and also the right-thinkine
part of the community, will protect the
South from a repetition of such outrages
as that of Harper's Ferry.

CHThe "Union slidcrs" pac fond Of
making quotations about these days, from
the Charleston Meroury and the Balti-
more Patriot. Both these papers speak
contemptuously Of the conservative and
democratic element at the North. The
Mercury is a rabid, multiplying. fire eating
print--and IL published in the North,
would unquestionably be an abolition
journal. The Patriot is the organ Of the
Plug Uglies, and the other bands Of
assassins who rule Baltimore, In blood,
and propagate Nnow-Nothingism with
dirks and clubs. All the extracts the
Black Republicans could make, from such
sources, between now and dooms-day,
