And although am old, Pm his favorite shears
And can crowd the compositors vet.
But my duties are rather too heavy, think,
And oftentimes envy the quill
AS lazily leans with its nib In the ink
While I'm sashing away with will.

Except when he wishes to say:
'we are needing some money to run this machine,
And subscribers will please to REMIT"
And SO knotty it couldn't be split.
He is nervous and deaf and is getting quite blind
Though he hates to acknowledge the latter,
And I'm sorry to say It's puzzle TO md

The compositors plague him whenever they see
The result of luckless endeavor,
But the darling old rascal just lays it to me,

Who used me to clip from her tresses one night

But the lass is much older and fatter,
And the youth-he's an editor here in the town. i.

THE largest land interest ever adju-
dictated by any court is said to have
been involved In the recent determin-
alton of the Usage land suit In Kan
sas. The number Of acres In litigation,
aud the title to which was settled by
the judgment of the court, was nine
hundred and sixty thousand. 1t seems
that In 1853 and 1865 grants Of land in
Kansas was made to certain railroad
companies by Congress. At the same
time the agents Of the Government,
acting for the Usage Indians, sold this
nine hundred and sixty thousand acres
to some one hundred and fifty thou
sand actual settlers, who had built
schools churches, and various indus
trial establishments upon It, The
decision Of the Supreme Court quiet.

with great rejoicing, which they pro.
pose to repeat In grand style on the
