Tho General Land Office at Washington 1as
recognized tho fact tint Michigan is entitled to
about $4,000 acros moro Of school 1ands The
deficiency grow out Of tho faot that, under tho
original grant, tho 8tato was to recoivo ono full
section Of land for each full town OF thlrty-six
sections. Section 16 in evory surveyed town
Eas designated aH tho school Bootion. As there
woro great mnny fractional towna In the
stato, owing to tho humorous inland lakes
and tho wator boundaries Of the state,
it worry frequently happened that tho school Sec
tion was fractional also. Tho Commissioner Of
tho stnte Lnnd- Office, having 1ately maao aco1l-
rate computations Of ali theso towns and acc
tions, discovered that tho deficiency in "sec'
tion 16" WIS greater in proportion thnn tho do
1ciency In the towns, and TINT tho stato was
still entitled to $4,000 acros which have now beer
granted it. This will add to tho State Primary
School Fund about 100000. The land will b

Some English statsticians hnvo recently boon
making some interesting Investigations with re-
eard to the cost Of war in that country. Twenty
yoars boforo tue Crimoan war, tho military and
naval expenditure of tho country was ten mill
ions. In 1864, tho yoar. before tho war, it had
riaeu to sixteen millions. Since the termination
Of TINT war, 1t has averaged moro than twenty
six millions per aunum. Tho amount,
innln1ng 1ntorost. which is paid to
maintain the army and navy exceeds
tho total valuo Of tho coal produced in
tic United Kingdom. Tile annun1 war oxpendi-
turc for p1oEent and past operations far exceeds
tho total deposits Of tho industrial and economic
c1assoa invested In all tho savings banks, while
tho expense of keeping up the army mud nav,
Inst year was only e4,ooo,ooo less than tho valut
of tho entiro ilnportatIons Of wheat, barley

From the Shreveport lliaoSI
There seems to be no bounds TO the
resources and spirit of railroad enter
prise of this gentleman. Our dis
patches have announced that he had
been elected President OF the Atlantic
and Pacific Company. We have seen
since that n complete reorganization
OF the Directory and officers has taken
place, MeSsrs, Bishop Morrill,, Curtis
and Billings retiring from the Direct
Dry, and Thomas A. Scott, j. Edgar
Thompson, A. Solomon aud Alfred L..
Dennis, of the Pennsylvania Central,
being chosen in their piace-thls new
board accepting the resignation of
Mr.. Bishop and olecting Mr.. scott in
his stead. The result of this purchase,
II is presumed, will be the consolida-
ton Of the Atlantic and Pacific with
the Texas and Pacific, and tonstrgo-
ton to the Pacific, neither on the line
Of the thirty-liith parallel nor The
thirty-sec0nd, but about that Of $3.50,
rs II line common 20 the two, In this
event the lines ofthc twerOads will not
approach each other until II junction is
formed, probably in New Mexico or
Ari2onia, and the main trunk contin-
uod TO San Diego which is about 32.50.
Whether this change can be made
under the present charter land grants
of Texas and the United States
amounting to many millions Of acres
is regarded rs somewhat doubtful, but
the influence of Scott, Thompson and
the companies over which they pres
side, is regardedassali powcfAl.

Attached to the freight train which
arrived yesterday from Dallas were five
cars of stock, belonging TO W. a.
Peasants, OF Corsicapa, Texas, These
cattle were shipped at Corsicana, a sta
ton Oh the Texas Central Road, fifty
four miles below Dallas. They came
through at the rate of $40 per car load,
without change of cars. They met
with no retention, excepting a light
break or wash in the road, where they
lost eight or ten hours. The time from
leaving home until their arrival here,
including the detention ut the break,
was thiIE-six hours. Mr.. Plepsapts
says lie experienced nothing but the
best Of treatmentat the hands Of the
employees of the road, who We'd with
each other in seeing his cattle through
with speed and safety. He thinks that
a reduction of freight on car loads oil
cattle to $50 or $50 per car would induce
large shipments this way.
