The InVaIid-A Pen Picture.

See her palid countenance but a short time

school and t4e pride of the household. She
always welcomed by her schooImates, fo-
her 1.-the form and pleasing disposition ca rried
cheerfnlncss into their ranks. Diligeut. punct-

home she won the hearts of all. Bait alas. we
are sorrowed. Those rosy checks and rudy
lips are blanehed by Consumption. The voice
once so enchanting in laugh and song is feeble
husky and supplanted by hollow cough. Let
us approach her couch gently and take her hand
Do not shudder because of the feeble and pas-
slonless grasp The hanl once so hearty and
plnmp is emaciated, and shows bony outlines
while the chLrds and tortpous veins are plainly
mapped upon the surface. The pulse that boun-
ded with repletion, carrying vgor to the whole
system and imparting life, beauty, vivacity,
health and strength, is delicate to the touch.
The feeble heart cannot propel the thin. scanty
blood with force. Must we lose her while yet
IN her teensI Companions and friends gather
around with words of cheer and consolation, and
depart with noistened eyes and silent steps
Must we lose her +? No There is a relief! We
can stay this destroyer of our happiness, and
not suffer the loss of so bright gem Some-
thing more is required now than dietary and
hygienic Observance, for nature calls for aid,
and she shall have it. Take this pleasa MT med

pleasant words are spoken. The strength fal-

THE STATE OF ARKANSAS
SOLD FOR TAXES.

Outrageous taxes imposed upon
the State of Arkansas, at q time
when they had just recovered from
the the impoverishing effects of the
war, worked the. forfeiture of the
enormous quantity of about 3.000,-
900 acres of land, or one-seventh part
of the whole State, through the non
payment of taxes. During the past
few weeks the State Auditor has been
engaged in selling these lands. Only
about one-third of them could find
purchasers, and that, on an average,
at the small price of the amount of
takes imposed. The unsold lands
are now being re-offered for sale,
with the prospect that the amount
disposed of, added to that sold at
the original sale, will not exceed one
half of the whole 5000, 900 acres.
Thus the State will have gotten, after
driving many of the people into
bankruptcy because they could not
meet the onerous taxes levied by
unconscionable lawmakers, about
half the taxes it demanded. The
Auditors Office is now being flooded
with petitions from all manner of
persons, praying the donation to
them of the unsold lands. Under
the law as it stands, every man, wom-
an and child is entitled, upon proper
application, to 160 acres OF land.

HOW TO JUDGE A EEWsPA-
PER.

To that class of people who esti-
mate the value of newspaper Who'll
ly upon the amount of original matter
which it contains, we commend the
following from the Literary Jouraal'
1t is comparatively an easy task for
a frothy Writer to pour out daily col
umns of words-words upon any and
all subjects. His ideas may flow in
one weak, washy, everlasting food,
and his command of language may
enable him TO string them together
like punches of onions, and yet his
paper may be a meager and poor con-
cern. Indeed, the mere writing part
Of editing paper is but small por-
ton of the work. The care, the time
employed in selecting, is far more inn
portant, and the tact of good editor
is better shown by his selections than
anything else; and that we all know is
half the battle, but, as we have said,
an editor ought to be estimated and
his labors understood and appreciated
by the general conduct of his paper
its tone, its temper, its uniform, con-
sistent course, its aims, its manliness,
itspropriety, its dignity. To preserve
these as they should be preserved is
enough to occupy fully the time and
attention of any man. Ii to this be
added the general supervision of a
newspaper establishment, which most
editors have to encounter, the wonder
is how they can find time to write at
all.

JUST A QUESTION or Two.

An exchange thus descants upon
printing Office bores, hitting the mark
SO fairly on the head, we cannot fail
to appreciate, endorse and copy.
Here ARE few of the innamerable
questions which printers are called
upon to answer:
Do you print both sides Of the pa
per at once?
How long does it take to make a
newspaper?
Suppose you write everything you
print, don't you?
Why are those boxes of different
sizes, and how do yon know where to
find a certain letter?
Can't you print . picture of any.
thing you want to? SHOULD think
you could. Why cant you?
(After printing some horse-biIls
for a uan not long ago, he found
fault with them because the cut
was not just like his borfe. On an
other occasion, gentleman came to

and he wanted picture of it taken
and some bills printed.
IF you print one hundred bills foi
80, / suppose you will let me have
four for twelve cents?

be an editor-you don't do anything
but sit down and read newspapers

to print off just one name.
What is this for? what do you do
with that? what makes that look so
funny? what are yoa going to do now:
what for? why? what makes you keep
50 still? You don't care if q fellow
just talks, do you?

with this list of questions, his com
pany becomes 50 monotonous that be

the listeners, and he walks off with
the impression that we have treated
him unkindly and impolitely.
All the above is to the point, and
when the questioDer takes the him

serene.

backs torn of, and insists on u,

One wet night in August there rode
up to the house Of Deacon Strndwick,
on Snow Hill, man of some fifty-nine
years, whose clothes soaking with

men proved they were old acquaint-
ances, and that bond of more than
ordinary friendship existed between
them. The strangers face was that
ola man of undaunted resolution, yet
there was dreaminess about the ex-
preston Of the eye that betokened
religious enthusiast. His hair was iron
gray, and there was a certain yielding

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY ON

magazine of the United States. in its

about General Grant and his admins.
tration:
Neither the Cincinnati CONNER
ciai. nor the Chicago Tribune nor the
Springfield Repubtican, nor the New
York I}ibuneswon.d be displeased if
General Grant failed in securing re-
nomination. There are many reasons,
too. why General Grants continuance
in the Office would be regretted by
other people. As a rule, military
men are not the stuff to make good
statesmen for an unmilitary and COM
mercial society. For the most part,
they entertain professional contempt
for law, even when they avow their
loyalty to it. Of this popularity
General Grants administration has
given at least one illustration. De-
claring himself firmly opposed to in
tervention in the affairs of foreign ma
tions, he has for sometime past main
tanned protectorate of San Domin-
go, which is in reality, an illegal war
against Hayti, carried on in the teeth
OF distinct provision of the Consti-
tuition. Again, Gen. Grant seems ig-
norant of the elementary principles
of economical science to the extreme
of believing that the chief source of
wealth of this country is to be found
in the mines of California. His sys-
tenn of appointments has been unin-
telligible. Appointments such as Mr..
Murphy's and Consul General Buffers
are possible, we see, because COM
missions have been issued to. them;
but how the same man who appointed
Mr.. Murphy and consul General But
Ter should also have appointed Mr..
Fish aud Judge Hoar is inexplicable.
Besides all this he has shown singn-
lar want of delicacy, to say the least,
in receiving innumerable presents,
and indirectly profiting himself out of
Government contracts. To own
stock in commercial enterprise is
one thing, but to own stock in a cor
poration which is daily making valu-
able contracts with the departments
at Washington is for the President of
the United States, quite another, We
do not impugn his honesty, He is no.
doubt innocent of all shares in the
management of the administrator
quarry but such scandal ought not
to be possible. a.lj

THE SoLDIERs' HOMESTEAD
BILL.

The inquiries regarding the exact
terms OF the homestead bill passed by
Congress, are very numerous from all
quarters As it goes to the President
for his signature, it provides that every
officer or soldier, seaman or marine,
who served during the rebellion, and
was honorably discharged, shall, on
compliance with the homestead act,
receive patent for 160 acres of pub
lie lands, not mineral, including the
alternate sections of public lands
along the line of any railroad or other
public work, provided that said home
stead settler shall be allowed SIX
months after locating his homestead
within which to commence his settle
nent in Improvement; and, provided,
also, that the time which the home
stead settler shall have served in the
army. navy, or marine corps, afore-
said shall be deducted from the time
heretofore required to perfect the
title; or, if discharged on account of
wounds received or disability incurred
in the line of duty, then the term of
enlistment shall be deducted from the
time heretofore required to perfect
the title without reference TO the
length of time he may have served;-
provided, however, that n0 patent
shall issue to any homestead settler
who has not resided on, improved
and cultivated his said homestead for
a period at least one year after he
shall commence his improvements, as
aforesaid. Amy one entitled to enter
under this act and has heretofore en-
tered less than 160 acres under the
homestead act, may enter enough un-
der the present act to make l60 In all.
If any person entitled to the provis-
ion of the act has died, his widow,
if unmarried, or in case of her death
or marriage, then his minor orphan
children, by guardian duly appoint
ed, shall be entitled to all the benefits
of the act. If any previous entry un-
der the homestead act has lapsed by
reason of the pre-emptor being in the
army, or navy, the entry shall be re-
stored. Any soldier, sailor, marine
officer or other person coming within
the provision of this act, may as well
by his agent as in person, enter on
said homestead, provided that said
claimant in person shall within the
time prescribed, commence settlement
and improvements on the same, and
thereafter fulfill the requirements of
this act The Commissioners General
of the Land Office is to make all the
needful rules to carry the act into eff
feet.
