A CITY AT AUCTIoN-The follow
ing notice of auction has appeared
in the Boeo, journal published at
Marsala, in Sicily: "Notice of sale.
The 1000 inhabitants of the city
of Marsala, being unable any longer
to support the weight of the bur
dens which press upon their proper
ties, great and small, urban or rural,
through the fiscal spoliation prac-
ticed by inquiSitoriaI officials, and
having regard to the total absence
OF ali Industrial and commercial re-
sources have come to the determin-
alton to sell their town to the high
est bidder with the feverish haste of
public auction. They pledge them
selves to find purchasers better able
than themselves TO satisfy the crav-
ing desires of all the vultures which
prey upon the fair regions of Sicily,
And, further, they pledge them
selves to emigrate in body to popu-
late the fertile districts of Australia
were they hope to escape from fall,
ing among the talons OF gripin har-
pies"
There is suggestion IN the above
that would apply aptly to a good
many towns, cities and counties in
a country a few thousand miles
northwest of Sicily.

LUNG-CONSUMPTION.
A New Remedy Suggested.

Sometime since DR.. D'Unger of Mime
apolis, gave publicity to an exceedingly val
liable receipt for alcoholism, an extended
notice of which appeared in the Minnesota
Farmer at the time. Good has resulted fr ON
that prescription; and now he has given a
letter on LING g-Consumption-a plain prac-
tical disquisition on that dreaded malady.
Below we favor our readers with it.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 4th.
To the Edtor Of the Chicago Tribune.
1t is proverbial that, of all the depressing
and life-taking affections to which the human
race is subject, there is none so distressingly
painful to the mind, or so sure in its (imagi-
nary) fatal result, as what is known as con-
sumption of the lungs. Indeed, the mere
mention of the word consumption" to a
patient with cough, no matter how slight,
takes away from him half his hopes Of cure,
casts him, as it were, into an abyss of
hopeless despair and gloom. And yet facts
show that, with proper attention to diet and
exercise (mental and phyisica1), and the oc-
casional administration of some simple med
icine for the general health, there is always
a good prospect of ure,-partial at least, il
not total. lis my purpose, with your per.
mission, to give comfort and hope to the
consumptives of the land, and genuine aid
if they will accept of it, by advising the use
of an exceedingly plain prescription. In
doing this, I trust may be spared the charge
of acting from sinister motives, as was the
case when recommended the use of cinchons
in the cure ofdrunkness, and through which

NOSE BLEED.-The Scientific
American gives the following novel
plan for checking bleeding at the
nose: eThe best remedy for bleed
ing of the nose, as given by DR.. Glea-
son in one of his lectures, is in the
vigorous motion of the jaws as in
the act of rnastication. In the case
of a child wad cf paper should be
placed in its mouth and the child
should be instructed TO chew it hard.
1t is the motion of the jaws that
stops the flow of blood. This remedy
is SO very simple that many will be
inclined to laugh at it, but it has
never been known to fail in a single
instance, even in very severe cases

A Coon SHowING.-The follow
ing extract from a letter receivep
by Mr.. j. B. Pow er, agent of the
Northern Pacific Land Office at
st. Paul, gives glowing account of
the wonderful wheat producing quail
tiles of that section The letter is
dated Frazee City, July 2Sth, and
is from the pen OF Mr. d. L. Well
man who is one of the pioneer wheat
growers of the n. z. country We
quote the tollwing. "All the wheat
in this vicinity is good for from
twenty to thirty bushels to the acre.
and 1 have a piece on breaking
that I expect thirty-fve bushels
sure. There is no rust, no blight, nor
lodged grain, nor any smut except
in the Lost Nation and not more
than one per cent in that, so far as
| have seen. If all the Northern
Pacific country is as well off as we
are here, you and the n. 2. Com
pany will feel good, to find that we
are sure of a good crop while other
and more southerly places fail. My
crops for six years have averaged
over twenty-five bushels per acre
through dry weather, grasshoppers,
wet weather, blight and all the
known disasters that wheat crop
is subject to and | am always well
satisfied with bridge that carries
me over"

A PARTY of engineers and explor-
ers have been sent out from Bis
marck, Dakota, to ascertain the
value of the Northern Pacific land
grant between the Missouri and
Yellow Stone rivers. 1t is under
stood that certain New York capi-
talists are thinking of building the
road to the Yellowstone river and
accepting from the Northern Pa
cific company 100000 acres of
land, in consideration therefor, pro-
vlded the report of the engineers is
satisfactory.

FOR THE UNEMPLoYED.- re-
markable increase in the settlement
OF the public lands has set many thin
king people to considering whether
emigration from the crowded cities
of the East to the public domains of
the West will not be found the true
remedy for the hard times. Stats
tics furnished by General William
son, Commissioners of the Land Off
ce, show that nearly 4 200, 900 acres
more were sold in the year ending
June so, 1873, than in the previous
year, in Minnesota, Nebraska, Kan
sas and Dakota. General William
son states that a great deal of the
public land is being taken up by
colonies, made up in many instances
of mechanics from the city.
The figures from Arkansas will,
General Williamson says, probably
make as good showing as the
three States and the Territory
named-quite as good, in fact, as
Texas. Well informed Texans
state that there is nothing in the
history of any State like the in
crease of the population of that
State. The public lands there be-
long to the State, consequently the
general governme has no means
of getting statistics of the increase
and the amount of land taken up.
The territory of Dakota, notwith-
standing the Indian difficulties,
shows an astonishing increase from
213.37s 10 l,46l sol acres, or over
500 per cent. In Kansas the ell
tries of the fiscal year 1877 was
about tripled last year, the figures
standing at 10000 and 2,067, 900
respectively. In Minnesota the en-
tries were nearly quadrupled, ag-
gregating respectively 279,s47 and
l,O41,2O3.
The largest item of increase is in
) land taken out under the home stead
act, the aggregates of the two
years standing at 3lO,399 and p
SS2,6S Most of this increase was
in Dakota Territory, where actual
settlers took up last year SO4,2S9.-
SO against 123,S69 the year before,
an increase of over 400 per cent In
Minnesota the homestead entries
were trebled, increasing from 1885,
| SO to 564,506 acres. In Nebraska
and Kansas the homestead entries
were more than double those of the
previous year.
An interesting feature of the in
crease is in land taken out under
the timber culture act, which gives
the settlers the land on condition of
devoting portion of it to timber
culture. Over $4,000 acres were
taken up in this way, against only
$4,000 in the previous year. In
Minnesota, too, the aggregate of
timber culture shows an enormous
increase from 10000 to nearly 1885,
900. The timber entries in Ne
braska aggregated l74,OOO, against
$4,000 in the previous year, while
Kansas shows an increase from 1885,
s2O t. 593,6se acres. The total
entries under the timber act last
year in the Territory and three
States named was 1,722,7l5 acres
against A69.773 in the previous
year.

THE LOTTERY AND THE MAILS.

There is a very stringent Federal statute
against the circulation OF lottery matter
Through the United States mails: but the
Louisiana State Lottery, which for nearly
eight years owned State and Federal Judges,
newspapers. Governors and Legislatures in
this State, learned 10 entertain very su-
preme contempt for laws Of any sort. Indeed
like the lucky roue who believes there is no
virtue In the world, and that every woman
has her price, this overgrown and arrogant
monopoly assumed that laws were only made
10 enable courts and pubic officials to make
money by accepting brides. The Louisiana
Lottery Company consequently regarded the
Federal statute with very little respect, and
has used the United States mails in violation
of it to circulate an enormous number of their
circulars and tickets.
Some time ago we called attention to this
Fact, and also to the fact that Mr.. j. NJ. G.
Parker, the Postmaster OF New Orleans, was
. large stakeholder in the Lottery, and was
eonniving at this gross violation of very
wise and beneficial law.
Our dispatches day before yesterday gave
notice that this fact had been brought to the
attention of the authorities in Washington
and steps were being taken to enforce the law
and terminate this PROSTITUTION of the mail
service. We are much gratified at this. Ii
the law is enforced in this matter it will
greatly cartail the power of the Lottery for

INDIGNITY TO LOUISIANA.

The Northern Republican press and politi-
clans are still engaged with virulcnt energy
in Safeguarding the law officers of this
State who prosecuted Anderson, the court
before which he was tried, and the jury which
convicted him. As Gov. Nichols has so far
taken no step to interfere in the administra-
tien OF justice. they have turned their mud
guns on him. and with as much violence as
upon the court and law officers. If these in
decent assaults upon the dignity of this State
were confined to a partisan press and body
of politicians they would scarcely deserve a
passing notice. Such is not the case how
ever. The Secretary of the Treasury led
press and politicians in this dsgraceful on
slaught; the President was indecent enough
to take sides with the arraigned and CON
yieted forgers, and we learn that the Cabinet
propose to retain Anderson in his position as
Deputy Collector of this port, even though he
go to the Penitentiary, and Wells and Kenner
in their Offices even though they be also CON
victed and sent to the State prison for an in
famous crime.
We do not feel perhaps as righteous an in
dignation as becomes truly loyal spirit at
this prostitution of the civil service of the
national government. Stealing, swndling
and lying here, during the past fifteen years,
so permeated that service that they are now
its chief characteristics. and our indignation
has become exhausted, 1t is our duty. how
ever, to denounce the insult to this State and to
Its law officers and courts, which is meant by
retaining in important Federal offices in cur
capital man sentenced to the Penitentiary
by our highest criminal court, and two other
men charged with committing forgery, now
out of jail only on bond, and awaiting trial.
By retaining these men in office the Presi-
dent offers Intentionally gross insult to

Tho New York Herald folpsees the estab-
lishment of State banks in tho place of ma
tional banks. This is to a great extent d
Southern measure. being generally cham
pioned by Southern members Of Congress- as
one of the safest and surest means of getting
capital South.
Eastern members of Congress are strongly
opposed to the bill, introduced some days ago
Ivy Mr.. Buckner of Missouri to issue Treas
ury notes in place of the national notes, and
will, the Herald says, Join the Southern men
in this State bank scheme deeming State
banks much safer and more convenient than
any further issues of Treasury paper, in tho
place of national bank notes. the amount of
which will be always liable to increase or d-
minsh at the will of majority Of Congress,
thus keeping up a constant and intermnable
popular agitation and preventing settle
ment of our finances on any firm and solid
basis. IT. therefore, the present Congress de-
termines to destroy national banks, Eastern
members of Congress will join the Southern
members in support of some measure that
will bring about the re-establshment OF State
banks
