4 CALTFORNIA LAND DIFFICULTY De-
CIDED. The secretary of the interior has
decided that the lands for the use of the
Southern Pacific railroad company, of Cal
iiornia, and subsequently declared by sec
rotary Browning enormously withdrawn,
were not the lands to which the company
is entitled by its charter. The company
was chartered under the state laws of Calls
fornia to construct a HE from a point at
or near San francisco. through certain
counties to San Diego; thence TO tie east
ern border Of the state; thence to connect
with the Atlantic and Pacific railroad.
Congress granted lands upon the line OF
the chartered route, and the company lied
with the secretary Of the interior a map of
an entirely different route. whose nearest
point to San Diego was $50 miles, Upon
this route tie lands were withdrawn The
withdrawal was revoked, and the reyoca-
ton suspended until now, when secretary
Cox has ordered the revocation to be car
rled into effect, and the lands to be restor-
ed to the status they held previous to the
withdrawal in 1867. This company has no
connection with the Southern Pacific, com
monly known as the Memphis and Ell Paso
railroad

We count the broken lives that rest
Where the sweet Bi.iiing singers slg1nber,
But o. er their silent sisters breast
The wild flowers. who will stop to number 2
4 few cssn touch the m gle string,
And noisy fame is proud to win them
Alag for those who never sing
But die WITH all their music in them.
Nayr weeh'not for che dead Alone,
Whose Hafps hare rold their own sad story
Weep for the voicelevs who have known
The cross-without the crown of glory
Not where Leucadian breezss sweeo
Ger sappho's menory-hasnted billow,
But where the glistening night-dews weep,

Oh hearts that break-that make nc sign,
Save whitening lips and fading tresses,
TIN death pours out his cordial wine,
Slow dropped from misery's crushing pre- 49,

To every secret parg we're given, as
What endless melodies were poured
As sad is earth-as sweet as Heaven!

Literal Answer

LlsSf Aus CTS.
A lady noticed boy sprinkling salt on
the sidewalk to take off she ice, and re-
marked to friend, pointing to the salt:
Now that Is true benevolence.
No it amt, said the boy, somewhat
indignant, Its salt"
So, when lady asked her servant girl
If the hired man cleaned off the snow with
alaerity, she replied:
NO ma am, he used shovel
The same literal turn of mind which we
have been Illustrating is sometimes used
Intentionally and perhaps little mali
clously and thus becomes the property of
wit instead of blunder. Thus we hear Of 3
young lady making this reply when asked
By an unlucky beau, if he might see her
home:
" es,-if yenri walk behind me"
And of the polite and impressive gentle
men who said to a youth in the street:
Boy may enquire where Robinson S
drug store is p -Go %
Certainly, sir, replied the boy very re-
spec;fully.
well sir" said the gentleman, after
waiting while, where is it,"
Il have not the least idea, your honor"
said the urchin. biE8
There was another boy who was accosted
by an ascetic middle aged lady with.
"Boy, want to go to Dover street."
swell ma am, said the boy, why don't
you go there then 2"
One day at Lake George party of gen.
tlemen strolling among the beautiful islands

''Did any of you ever see an elephant s

Sometimes this sort of wit degenerates
or rises, as the case may be, into punning,
as when Flora pointed pensively to the
heavy masses Of clouds in the sky, say

II wonder where them clouds are 60

And her brother replied
II think they are going to thunder. J"
Also the following dialogue:

"Patrick O'Flynn how long do you wear

Twenty eight inches, sir.
This reminds me Of an instance which
is said to have occurred recently in Chat

Troubles Of q Postmaster General.
Washington Correspondence Cincinnati


There have been many isolated cases in
the history Of Office seeking here, where
the files Of the departments show great
indeoision on the part of those writing the
recommendations SO great, frequently,
as to them to write letters for opposing can
didates urging the appointment Of each. -
But, at last, Michigan hos carried of the
palm. For the postofnco at Battle Greek
one of the present Senators gave certain
man who santed the Office strong letter,
aud then telegraphed the postmaster gen
eral that it was important TO retain the
present incumbent. An ex-governor Of
tae state did the same thing. A member
Of Congress did the same. 4 prominent
citizen also wrote FIRST for one, and then to
the department for the other (; and so did
a majority of those prominent IN tho Inat>
ter. DIR. Creswell is at MS wit end. He
on one. occasion made cut the commission
for a new man on tie strength Of letters
from the Senator and some members ofthe
House, bat on waiting for the next mails
each asked him to do nothing, and he with
held the commission. Now he is again
asked to make. the change by the same men.
tie is delaying, however, for a day or SO,
TO see if these weak men will recall their
last letters by the next mail.

Mr. CoRLEY's PUBLIC School B1nD.-The
Philadelphia Age says: Congressman Cor
ley, of South Carolina, has introduced a
resolution into the House, instruoting the
Committee ON Education and Labor to
consider the dangers which environ the
future peace and safety of the public,
through the introduction of disloyal and
reasonable textbooks and other publica-
tions, into the public schools of the nation.
and the expediency of providing some pro-
lection against the injurious Influences of
such publications. If this step be taken.
what is to prevent Congress from declaring q
that none but radicals shall act as teachers
in the public schools? They have as much
power to do one as the other act. Besides
who is to determine what constitutes dis.
loyal and reasonable text-books?' Apoliti-
cal party? If 30, then the Constitution will
be banished from the schools, for that
Instrument has been stigmatized as 'league

Some five, six or ten years ago, Captain
Creighton, of British bnrque, rescued,
with great gallantry, a large number of
United States troops from death on board
the shipwrecked vessel San Francisco on
which they had been embarked Congress
voted him medal, i'll acknowledges OF his
services, and to-day he is to get it. 1t has
taken six or eight years to accomplish this
little feat. How fortunate it is that in this
country there is no such thing as red tape
but everything is done promptly-at just
the right time and in just the right way.
Whether Captain Creighton still lives, and
IS sufficiently in possession of his memory
to recollect the service for which he is to be
rewarded SO munifcently. we cannot say.
