WASHINGTON, Oct. %. The annual re
port of j. A. Williamson, Commissioner

S,6S9, l78 acres of public lands were di,.
posed of, and 8,O4l ,0l1 acres were surve T.
cd, in addition to the 721 ,6l3,72S acres

Fire at Falkland.
Ihe Spice Mills and t,cO Houses Burned

me spice Mills and t,po Houses Burned
"A Supposed Ihcendidry Act.
About one O'Clock this morning, a
bright light was observed to the westward
OF this city, which was undoubtedly the
result OF conflagration, and which
caused much speculation at the time, IL
was surmlsed to be a burning barn,
house, or stack, but later in the morning.
1t was definitely learned that the Bran
dywine Spice Mills, at Falkland, near
Brandywine Springs, had been totally de-
stroyed by fire, together with two frame
tenant houses adjoining.
These mills were comparatively new
having been rebuilt after the flre which
seriously damaged them about five years
ago. They are located at Falkland,
Mill Creek Hd., on the Delaware West
ern Railroad, and until recently owned
by q. j. Fell x Bro, by whom they were
assigned to The Philadelphia Trust Com
pahy. From the Tiust Company they
where rented by A. NJ. Purvis &c Co.
OF No. 100 South Front street, Phila.
delnhia, who have been operating them
Tor year past. The mills we're built in
lhe best manuer, and were run by the
most approved and expensive manner.
lie lire broke out between twelve and
one O'Clock This morning, and burned so
rapidly that all eflIIts to stop its pro.
gress were Of no avail. The residents OF
the surrounding neighborhood turned

The suppression of the flames did not
amount to much. They succeeded in re-
moving considerable pat of the furni-
ture from the two houses adjoining the
mills, but the dwellings soon yielded to
the flames and were entirely destroyed.
They were occupied by two mill hands
and their families.
The mills, in short time, were entire
ly destroyed, and the costly machinery
seriously damaged, though to what en-
tent cannot be positively ascertained at
present. A large stock of finished spices
and raw material was also des rOyed.
The total loss will undoubtedly exceed
$4,000.
The fire is supposed to have been the
WIN vi All incenulary. J. ne ABSENCE OF
accidental origin is proved by by the fact
that there was no fire at all used in the
mills yesterday,and only portion OF the
machinery was in operation-that used
for pounding mustard.
This morning Mr.. i. A. Brown, agent
for A. NJ. Purvis IL Co., came down from
Philadelphia, and in company with Con-
stable Dillon proceeded to the mills, for
the purpose of making a thorough inves-
tion of the cause Of the fire and the loss
sustained.
The following list of insurances on the
burned mills is furnished by Messls.

Greenback Meeting.

The Greenback Labor Party held a
meeting at the City Hall, last night which
was quite largely attended. b. b. Cooper
presided, and the first speaker was DR..
kensey j. Stewart, Of Lewes, the Green
back candidate for governor. The Doc
tor delivered "A genuine greenback oration
with many well rounded points, which
were literally applauded by the audience.
He prescribed greenbacks as the panacea
for the ills of the nation, and urged their
substitution for national bank notes and
government bonds. The Doctor de-
scrIbed the feelings of the peop'e on this
question by relating an anecdote of two
millers of England, named Bone and
Skin, who once during a famine, kept
large quantities of -four locked up in their
mill and refused to sell any, with a view
ofwaitingfor high.prices. But one morn
ing they found written upon the door of
their mill the following significant coup
let:
"Bone and Skin,
Two millers thin,
Would starve us all, or near it;
But be it known,
To Skin and Bone,
That flesh and blood won't bear it,
The speaker concluded that this was
the feeling of the American people That
they would not bearthe ills much longer
but would rise up in their might, and by
means of the ballot redress all their griev-
Gus wrongs.
John G. Jackson the Greenback candi-
date for Congress, followed in a speech
strongly advocating the principles of the
Greenback Labor Party. Afterhis speech
the meeting adjourned.

CATARRH.

A writer Of the Tribune says that
this disease is durable. if the sufferer
will persist in using the following:
The remedy is crushed cubeb ber-
ries smoked in pipe, emitting the
smoke through the nose; after q few
trials this will be easy to do. If the
nose is stopped up so that it is almost
impossible to breath. one pipeful will
make the head as clear as bell. For
sore throat, asthma, and bronchitis,
swallowing the smoke effects immedi-
ate relief. 1t is the best remedy in
the world for offensive breath. and
will make the most foul breath pure
and sweet. Sufferers from that most
horrible disease, liberated catarrh,
will find this remedy to be unequaled
and a months use will cure the most
obstinate case. A single trial will
convince any one. Eating the un.
crushed berries is also good for sore
throat and all bronchial complaints.
After smoking do not expose yourself
to cold air for at least fifteen minutes.
The berries are perfectly harmless.
They can be procured at any drug
store. and You can crush them your
self.

PHYSICAL EFFORT OF THOUGHT.

An intellectual paper was read at a
recent meeting of the Royal Society
on Experimental Researches on the
Temperature of the Head" in which
the writer. DR.. Lombard, showed that
mental activity will at once raise the
temperature of the head, and that
merely to excite the attention has the
same effect in a less degree. This is
a curious result, it appearing to show
that anything of the nature Of volition
involves a waste Of nerve tissue which
is not involved in involuntary percep-
ton and observation. There is no
difference, we believe, between the
temperature of the sleeping body and
that of the waking body, or between
that Of the waking body and the head,
so long as no act or effort is involved.
But if even the least intellectual effort
raises the temperature of the head
above that which it reaches in amused
and idle observation, it would seem to
show that there is waste involved
in volition which belongs to the So
called automatic" action of the
mind. And that is itself fact of no
slight significance.--London Spectd-
tor.

ARABESQUES.

When all the panes are hung with frost
Wild wizard work of silver lace,
wheel my sofa on the rug
Before the ancient chimney place.
And, basking, in the firelight's glow,
hear the hemlock chirp and sing,
As ii within its rudy core
1t held the happy heart of spring.
Ferdousi never sang like that,
Nor he OF Shiraz, m be sworn;
lounge and blow white rings OF smoke
And watch them, lightly upward borne.
The curling wreaths like turbans seem
OF silent Slaves that come and go,
Or viziers, packed with craft and crime,
Whom behead from time to time
With pipe stem at single blow
And now and then a fragrant cloud,
Take gracious shape, at my desire,
And at my side a lady stands,
Unwinds her veil with snowy hands
A shadowy shape, breath OF fire I.
O love if you were only here
Beside me in this mellow light,
Though all the bitter winds should blow,
And all the ways be choked with snow,
'TwOuld be "a true Arabian night.
