More About the Public Lands.

Maj. Powell, in charge of the geologi-
cal survey of the Territories, recently
made statement that there is but COM
paratively small area of arabic land
now owned by the United States. This
statement has been frequently contro-
verted. Maj. Powell is preparing for
Congress, at the direction of the Com.
mittee on Public Lands, an accurate
statement of this question, in which he
will maintain his assertion. The results
of his survey will attract general atten-
tion. He divides the United States into
three regions with respect to agricult-
ure-the humid or arabic, the sub-arid
and the arid. In the arabic portion,
which includes the country east of line
drawn from the eastern part of Lake
Superior to the Gulf, the United States
owns no lands not taken up. The belt
of country $50 miles in width, from
Canada to the Gulf adjoining that belt
on the west, is the sub-arid division. In
this the United States owns considera.
bic quantity of land which may be cul-
tivated by irrigation. West OF that, il
the immense arid belt extending from
the Rocky Mountains into Eastern Cali
fornia, only per cent. of the land can
be cultivated, and of this per cent. per
cent. has already been taken up. Maj.
Powell is preparing land atlas of the
entire country, in which arabic and tim
Der lands are shown. Washington

A Minister'S Joke.

A clergyman, a widower, recently Gre
ated quite sensation in his household,
which consisted of seven grown-up
daughters The reverend gentleman
was absent from home for number of
days, visiting in an adjoining county.
The daughters received letter from
their father which stated that he had
married widow with six sprightly chill
dren," and that he might be expected
home at certain time. The effect of
that news was great shock to the hap
py family. The girls, noted for their
meekness and amiable temperaments,
seemed another set of beings; there was
weeping and wailing and tearing OF hair,
and all manner of naughty things said.
The tidy home was neglected, and when
the day of arrival came the home was
anything but inviting. At last the Rev.
Mr.. - came, but he was alone. He
greeted his daughters as usual, and as
he viewed the neglected apartments
there was q merry twinkle i'll his eye.
The daughters were nervous and evil
IDENTIFY anxious. At last the eldest mus
tered courage and asked, "Where is our
motherg" "In heaven" said the good
man. "But where is the widow with six
children whom you wrote you had mar
ried? Why, 1 married her to another
man, nv dears."

The First Battle i'm Which the Old Flag
Appeared.

One thing that gives interest to the
battle of Bennington is the fact that it
was the first land victory under the stars
and stripes as the national flag. This
flag had been adopted by Congress on
the 14th of June of that year, primarily
for the navy, but the army had already
received it as their emblem also; and the
continental regiment of Seth Warner
carried it in their fight on the 7th of July
at Hubbardton, Vt, with the advanced
guard of Burgoyne's army-the only
battle of civilized men ever fought on
the soil of Vermont-but Warmers men
were repulsed only to appear five weeks
later, under the same flag, in the very
nick of time to help win the battle OF
Bennington, which was fought, as almost
everybody knows, not on Vermont, but
on New York soil. The flag has been
our flag for just 100 years. Long may
it wave. "-SprinQfeid Republican.

a Buttercup.

a Buttercup.
A little yellow buttercup
Stood laughing in the SUM-
The grass all green around IL,
The summer Just begun;
Its saucy little head abrim
With happiness and fun.
Near by-grown old, and gone to seed,
dandelion grew;
To right and left with every breeze
Ais snowy tresses few.
He shook his hoary head, and said:
I've some advice for you.
Don't think. because you're yellow now,
That golden days Will last;
/ was as gay as You are, once,
But now my youth is past.
This day will be my last to bloom;
The hours are going fast.
"Perhaps your fun may last a week,
But then you'n have to die"
The dandelion ceased TO speak
breeze that capered by
Snatched all the white hairs from his head,
And waited them on high.
His yellow neighbor first looked sad,
Then, cheering up, he said,
"If ones 10 live in fear of death,
One might as well be dead" Z,
The little buttercup laughed on,
And waved his golden head.

A Historic Letter.

Minister Washburne, in his examina-
ton of the archives of the French Gov
ernment, has discovered the following
interesting letter, which, by the permis-
sion of the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs, he has caused to be photo
graphod. A copy of this letter, with his
certificate attached, was lately received
at the State Department at Washington:
PARIS, December %, 1876.
SIR: We beg leave to acquaint your Excel
lency that we are appointed and fully empow-
cred by the Congress of the United States of
America to propose and negotiate a treaty of
amity and commerce between France and the
said States. The just and generous treatment
their trading ships have received by free ad-
mission into the ports Of this kingdom, with
other considerations of respect, has induced
Congress to make this offer first to France.
We request an audience with your Excelency,
wherein we may have an opportunity OF pre-
senting our credentials, and we hatter ourselves
that the propositions we are instructed to make
are such as will not be found unacceptable.
With the greatest regard, we have the honor to
be, your Excelency's most obedient servants,

Women Voting i'm Utah.

The Liberal ladies of Utah will re-
member that they are called upon to
bestir themselves tomorrow equally
with their Mormon sisters, who support
this blighting theocracy with servile and
unintelligent votes. They must not let
domestic cares keep them away from the
polls. Carriages will be sent to every
precinct, and few minutes service is
no great oblation to make to the cause
of progress and reform. The Mormon
sisters are drilled into voting as the
Bishop directs them (obey counsel and
ask no questions). Our sisters who en-
JOY liberty of action will certainly not
be willing to stand still and lend no aid
to their struggling brothers. Sail Lake
