Land Grants 20 Railroads.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune devotes a letter to the
subject Of railway land grants. Up to
June 30th Of last year, the gtTernment
had given away I86, 000 acres of land in
aid of railroads. OF late there is mania
for further grants. Some eighty bills
are now pending, and it is estimated that
if all were passed they would. cover 300
900 acres of land, which added to the
grants already made, would give the total
nearly FIVE hundred millions of acres, OF
about one-fourth Of the entire national do
main, including Alaska.
The following are the bills for grants OF
land introduced by members of this state
and now pending:
Howe-Sioux City and Pacific Railroad.
Five sections a mile, selected out of twenty
miles each side Of road.
Howe-Green Bay and Lake Pepin
Railroad to WaCashaw, Minnesota. Each
alternate section ten sections wide eitl er
side, or select anywhere, and to get this
land when, any ten miles are built.
Hopkins McGregor Western Railway.
G. 9. Washburne-West Wisconsin
Railway Company.
Hopkins-Land for the Wisconsin Rail
road from Mortgage Land Company.
Sawyer-Ship Canal at Sturgeon Bay,
Wisconsin. Two hundred thousand acres
in addition to the old grant.
The following bills also relate to roads
partly in Wisconsin
Chandler-Wisconsin & Lake Superior
Railroad Company From mouth Of Me
nomonee River to Hudson, Wisconsin, and
to Kewaunee Bay. Five alternate sections
a mile
Driggs-Wisconsin & Lake Superior
Railroad. Twelve sections mile.
1t is estimated that if the proposed
land grants were all to be made, and the
amounts in money asked by way of subsi
dy in bills now introduced, it would pro-
vide for twice the amout of railways west
of the Mississippi that there is east Of that
river.

A religious discussion" eliminating
in fight over dead body, occurred in
Cleveland, Ohio, last week. A German
Lutheran clergyman declined to perform
the funeral rites over deceased member
of the church, who died accused of mis-
demeanor, for which he would have been
suspended had he lived few days longer.
He had become the proprietor Of a saloon,
violating rule of :Le church in doing so.
The clergyman hesitated while performing
the funeral rites, about including sanlif-
cation in the service The wife OF the de-
ceased was willing that the husband should
be buried without qualification, and 50
were many of his friends aud the members
of his church Others, however insisted
that the santifcation should be included.
The house Of mourning was soon turned
into puglistic den. Women pursued
the clergyman as he sought refuge in
fight, belaboying him with sticks. and the
men hurled paving stones at his head. \
neighboring house was not a sufficient
shield to the man Of God against the fu-
RUS mob, but he finally escaped without
injury.

A very large portion Of the cod, halibut

fisheries of our country is carried on b
Gloucester vessels Some forty vessel
are, the present season, engaged in tn
Newfoundland herring fishery. They Lei

returned by about the first of February
Some of these that return earliest, hayiD

rest bring their fish to this place. as ba
tor the $50 vessles that will start froi
here about the first of February for th
Georges Banks to engage in the cod, an
halibut fishery. Some of the herring al
also used for bait in mackerel fishing. Fac
mackerel vessel has mill by, which tt
herring are ground up Into bait for tn;
purpose.
Georges Bank, most are aware, al
about one hundred and fifty miles fro,
Cape Cod, and the fishery there is a vel
dangerous business, especially in the. VIII

Gloucester vessels at that place. Sever
years ago, it will be remembered, sixtee
of these vessels went down in a sing
night, making eighty widows
No vessel engaged in this fishery can 5,

Vast quantities of ice are taken in the.
vessels, in which to pack the halibut, {,
they wish to bring in as much of this kir
of fish as possible fresh for the marke
The cod are usually opened and the insid'
removed, and, if there is any danger Z
their not keeping, handful of salt
thrown into each.
All the vessels employed in these fsheri,
are the most thoroughly built Each We
sci has about ten men, who are among Il
best sailors in the world-all know how

employed in the mackerel fishery ha,
about fourteen men to vessel.
The whole number of vessels that Sc
out of Gloucester, nearly all of which Al
engaged in these fisheries, is about 70,
hundred and fifty. A large portion of Il
sailors employed in these vessels are fro
Gloucester. This will show what larg

The coming ship" as the intended

that instead Of IS feet it will draw only IS
feet, and it Will carry prcportjonally less
tonnage. Its designed to carry four times
as many passengers as any present style Of
ship, aud to substitute fol- banks regular
beds it will also give four times the space
to state room. The San Fracisco Times
says Tie present mode Of buuking
passengers is unworthy Of the age. Sea
sickness, il prevenuhle IS construction,
should be rendered obsolete. This des>
ilcraium is attained in Thomas Silver
coming ship it is secured by the proper
tions Of the ship and by there being thirty
feet less Of the hull out Of water than in
the Great Eastern, but the motion is rem
dered almost imperceptlble by new de-
vice. The state rooms, instead OF beng

The saloon is to he 500 feet long, and clear
of distractions. 1t is not for dining. In
stead of a public table, there are to be two

Six Days Without Food-EXperience
of Gov. Grapes Brother.

The Aipena Mich. Pioneer has de-
tailed account OF a case OF severe suffering:
Mr.. Chas Grape, brother to the governor,
and Mr.. Alderman, a surveyor, were re-
turning through the woods from examin-
ing lands on the Sheboygan river, and
when, in town 334, cut his foot very bad
ly, disabling him from travelling any turth-
er. His comrade, Snpposins that there
were lumber camps SO 3, made the wounds
ed man as comfortable as he could, fixed
his tent, built him q lire and cut good
supply OF wood, and leaving him all the
provisions, which were three days rations,
took only two hard tacks' and started for
help, expecting to get through in one day.
lie ate all his prOylNloaS at noon, but at
night, when he reached his destination, he
found d dreary Wilderness where he expect
ed to find camp. lie Immediately start
Ell for the main river, but SOCn became en-
tangled 10 an lmmdnse swamp, and through
fatigue, and want Of food, aud having to
Sleep on the ground without blanket or
tent, he was taken sick and could make but
very slow progress After three days
more OF intense suffering, he reached Ers
kline farm, late at night, and utterly cX>
hausted. Mr.. Spratt happening to be
there, took him next morning to Com
stock 5 camp, which was the nearest one to
where he left the wounded man. Mr.
William Comstock Immediately started
with eight men to the relct of Mr., Grape.
They found him without wood and sui
fering from his wound and anxiety. lie
supposed that his friend had either per
iShed or was lost, and certainly expected
to be left to die. He had calculated his
provisions to last him twelve days, and cut
his name on his gunstock and the bottom
Of his boot so that any one finding his re-
mains might know who he was. Having
lain thelc six days all alone since his cora
rade left him; he describes the sensation OF
the arrival of help as the happiest momeRt
Of his life. Ills rescurers brought him to
camp upon litter, and the next day
brought him to town. Both men, after,
recruiting, started for Saginaw.

How a Heroic Captain SaYed His
Vessel.

The S, amer Columbia, running between
Glasgow and New York, was saved from
destruction on her recent prolonged voy-
age by the skill and bravery of her cap.
tain. The screw propeller having been
disabled by the storm, was beating her
blades against the vessel, and threatening
to stave in the stern the only remedy was
to secure the propeller by passing ropes
and chains around it. This had to be
done in the swell left by an Atlantic stern,
and in experimenting the process, the cap
tain was suspended from the stern OF tie
vessel by a rope fastened round his waist,
dipping down into the sea as the vessel
dipped, giving his orders, now from mid>
air, now IRON the very surface of the wave,
with the utmost clearness and precision.
At last the screw propeller was securely
fastened TO the vessel, and though three
weeks Of tedious beating about on Il stormy
sea, remained secure, though useless, and
crew and passengers were saved. The
value Of these services may be appreciated
when it is recolected that the steamer
Hibcrnia was lost through similar acct
