LULA PETIT, grand daughter of James j.
Petit, Esq, Of Keno6ha, was seven years
old, July 30th, 1872. Her birth. day was cele.
brated at her Grand Fathers by four o'clock
afternoon party of forty-fve or fifty young
folks ofabout her own age, over three -fourths
of whom were girls, and by dozen Of Ia
dies and third of q dozen of gentlemen.
Some OF Lula's friends remembered her with
some beautiful and valuable presents. Be
tween five and six o'clock the little folks sat
down to bountiful repast and were served
by the older folks. After the little ones had
partaken of substantials, luxurles, and deli
cacies to their satisfaction, and had engaged
in other amusements, the older folks sal
down to well spread table and served
themselves to their abundant satisfaction.
How many loayes and fishes, Including ev-
erything eatable, there were at the COM
mencement of the repast, we do not know,
but we know there were number of basket
fuls left. At times the little folks amused
themselves with music and dancing. 1t was
happy time for Lula and for all the little
ones who could enjoy happiness with her. It
was happy time for all the little ones and
for all who could enjoy the enjoyment of lit
tie ones. 1t was happy tiroe for all who
had the good fortune to be present on the
occasion. And 1t was a time long to be re.
membered by all, and especially by the little
ones, and more especially by Lula.
Varying in age from two or under to sixty
or over, the party was remarkable for propri-
ETY. and decorum. From the youngest to the
Oldest, and from the oldest to the youngest,
there was no improperly, no indecorum.
All was seemly, comely, and becoming any
age or station of life .aIl s#s5

BRISTOL SPRING. Bristol has mineral
spring. And the water of the Bristol spring
is becoming somewhat celebrated. num-
Der Of gentlemen have certified to us that
they have been benefited by using the wa
ter, principally In urinary diseases. The
Bristol spring has been known for some time,
but it is only recently that it has attracted
attention and been thought to have essential
curative properties. The water has been or
is being anaylzed, but whether the analysis
will throw any light on its curative proper
ties is uncertain. The curative properties OF
mineral waters, like the curative properties
Of other medicinal agents, are generally
found out by accident, by experiment, or by
observation, and obtaining knowledge of the
curative properties of the water of the Bris-
tol spring will probably not be an exception
to the general rule.

DYsPEPTIC.-The leading man of the Leaven-
worth Call is confirmed dyspeptic. He is con-
stantly troubled with sour stomach, and has be-
come chronic grumbler. For some reason un-
known to us, he has particular spite against
SOL Miller" and never Omits an opportunity
to make a fling at him, or to copy those of other
papers. His latest spell of "brash" is over the
matter of State printing. He claims that there
are jobs and abuses in this NATTER and blames it
all upon the three printers who happen to be
members of the State Senate-particularly upon
"SOI- MILLER" He says: ave don't think Sol
MILLER or saltpeter will save the 'band of broth
ers' so nearly allied and SO intimately connected
in the printing jobbery." Now, if our memory be
not at fault, (and if We in error we ask to be
corrected,) Sol. MILLER was not elected State
Printer. We are positive that he has no share or
interest in the State printing, and is not con-
nected with it or any of its contractors in the re-
motest degree. He even suspects that they do
not regard him with the most frieIdly feelings in
the world. He has never attempted to smooth
over or cover mp any trickery on the part of the
State Printers, in the slightest degree; and if
they have been guilty of any sharp practices, he
will lend his aid in bringing them to time. And
he voted against the resolution for printing the
Governors Message in pamphlet form, which was
the very proposition that caused the Call mans
last eructation. If Mf. Call has any other object
in view than the qualification of his propensity to
growl at "SOI- MILLER" he had better under.
stand his subject before throwing up his vittles-

Settling ON Public Lands.

| As general answer to many special inquiries
we state the following facts:
| l. The larger portion of the unimployed uncul
tivated soil of the United States including near
ly all that of the States of Nebraska, Nevada and
Oregon, also of all the Territories is still the
property of the Federal Union, and is known as
the Public Domain.
=. While much of the domain is sterile rocky.
mountains, and thus unfit for cultivation, large
proportion is fertile and excellent including thou
sands of square which, being treeless and
| very thinly grassed, have been accounted des-
ert, but which prove quite productive when re-
claimed by irrigation.
3. As a general rule, any part of this domain
not already granted to occupied BY private
owners is open to settlement by any one. He who
."squats" on q tract to which he has no title il
regarded as holding it by presumption. He is, of
course, liable to be, but seldom is dspossessed by
a bona yfde purchaser.
4. The Government proffers a quarter section
(l6O acres) to any one who settles upon tract to
which no adverse title claim exists, erects a
habtatiOn and lives on it for five years. He has
to pay for the papers and legal formalities re-
quiring about so in all. This is called making
homestead.
5. Congress has from time to time made exten-
sive grants of land to States and companies in
aid Of the construction of railroads through the
public domain. These grants are usually of al-
ternate sections (or square miles) for o certain
distance ON either side Of the projected railroad
6. The alternate sections reserved by the gov-
ernment are double in price, and he who settles
on these and proceeds 70 acquire home under
the Homestead act, is allowed but eighty instead
of the usual one hundred and sixty acres
2. The general price of the public lands is 81 25
per acre, or $0O for 16O acres The alternate Sec
tons reserved by the Government along the lines
of railroads are held ut double price, e so per
acre.
g. The railroad companies generally charge
more for their alternate sections; but as the Gov
ernments land is held at y 80 per acre, and eigh

THE border ruffian gentleman Who spurred their
foaming steeds about this country in the high old
days of le56, occasionally revisit us. The juno
tion City URioa last week states that Gen. John
w. Whitfield, first delegate in Congress from the
Territory Of Kansas, is at present stopping at Sa-
lives at Halletsville, Cavacs County, Texas. He
was engaged in the cattle business with Frank
Kelly, who was killed ON the railroad, near Solo
mon, few weeks ago, and his mission to this
country at present, is to settle affairs resulting
from that accident. The Journal speaks kindly
Of the General. The Wathena Reporter, however,
wakes wroth over the visit to Afchison of Mr..
Bob Kelly. The Reporter remembers that in the
"troublous times Mr. Kelly edited the Squat
ter Sorveign at Atchison, malignant pro-slavery
sheet. and that he was the leader of the mob that

s."" - frrnuent consultations with him, and

e.,s a. more of Col Fisks adhercnts BY this
i;ns of argument they will justify the carrying OF
The revolver. which they will try ana show stokes
has owned and worn for six months Inc next
stem will he to prove that Stokes IS moncmaniac
on the subiect of his troubles with Col FISK:
This will involve repetition OF that I1ru4h OF
the Mcfarland trial in which the medicai eA-
perts were so prominent. IL viii also give Mr.
Graham a chance to stave off the trial from time
to time ON the plea that he has more witnesses 70
summon. or testimony to take at distance by
commission. No pleader in the world under
stands the value of time better than MIR. Graham.
He knows that time will somewhat assuase the
present excited tone of public opinion, ana ms
tactics will look mainly to q posfponement oi the
case until the great FiskStOkes affair shall have
become a thing of the past. MI stokes iriends
say that many physicians condemn IN unmeasured
terms the action of the surgeons holds that the
condition of the wounded man was such that this
course accelerated if il was not the direct cause
of his DEATH and on this point will probably con-
stitute a conspicuous feature of the trial. The
plea Of self defence is also to be set up. 1t Is
said. and an endeavor will he made to prove, that

latter was descending from the ladies Parlor.
