did not Sit down to tell you about the

party OF Eastern people, and II he cannot
Sell in any other way he will show lands
that do not belong to the railroad coppa-
nv. Will say to them this is railroad land,
and is worth so much per acre. After
buying and receiving the deed, and get
ting an expert to look up the land, they
ind to their cost that they have not
bought the land that was shown them,
but were the owners Of some gravelly
hills. One case in point; The agent
came here with party OF gentlemen
from Cleveland. Ohio. After looking at
several sections Of land, one Of them said
to the agent, 81 want land to settle on
and make a home for my family, and 1
ask You as a gentleman and man OF hon.
or to show me land suitable for that pur-
l pOse." He took them to another section
and said, ''this is railroad land, and the
best land owned by the company he
was pleased with the land and bought, as
he supposed, the land shown him; but
when he came to look for his land, he
found that he had paid for one OF those
worthless gravelly hills. l understand
| that he will commence suit against the

The RuII and the Isenr

On the 18th Lord Derby resigned
as Secretary of Foreign Affairs for
Great Britain, on the ground that he
could not approve of the warlike
measures of the cabinet. On the
lst Queen Victoria issued a procla-
nation calling out the first class of
the army reserve for active service,
numbering 1900, and the militia
reserve, $4,000. This is but a small
part of the militia force, and is in
tended to do garrison duty at home
in place of regular troops, who are
expected to be shipped to Turkey.
While England was thus demon
stratiDg her intention of going to
war, the Russian commander at
Constantinople addressed a note to
the Sultan requesting him to order
the English fleet to leave the sea of
Marmora and return to the Medi-
terranean. The Sultan sent this re-
quest to the British admiral, and
that officer replied that the British
feet would stay at Constantinople
until the Russians had retired.
Each party has thus put itself into a
fighting attitude, and stands ready
for the first gun to be fired.
Meantime Russian diplomacy ap-
pears to have prevented any active
alliance between England aud Aus
tria, and to haYe won Turkey over
to the Russian side. Both Russis
and England continue prepare.
tons for war on a gigantic scale
and the meeting of the proposed En-.
ropean conference is yet indefinite
The indications are that war be
tween those nations will result be-
fore many more weeks have pass
ed, and that for few months they
will fight each other without 9th
er nations taking q hand in tn,
struggle.
