FIFTH LECTURE OF MAI. JED HOTCHKIss-in
accordance with the announcement made last
week, Mai. Jed Hotehkiss delivered on last Sat
urday night in the Y. NJ. C. A. Hall the con-
GLIDING lecture in the series of five on the
geography and geology of Virginia. This lee
ture was confined chiefly to the great Valley
extending from the mouth of the ST. Lawrence
River TO Alabama, of which the Valley OF VIZ
ginia is the central portion. This lecture was
exceedingly interesting, and we greatly regret
there was not a larger audience to hear it,
Those who have attended these lectures of Maj
Hotchkiss, have been greatly interested and
benefited, and hope that he may be prevailed
upon to continue them. We can say for our
selves that we have never attended any lee
lures in which we were more interested. or by
which we gained more information. We earn
estly hope that Maj. Hotchkiss may be induced
to deliver another series Of lectures on the same
subject and that our citizens will do themselves
the Justice to attend them i'll large numbers
The Hall should be filled each night to its ut
most capacity when such profitable lectures are
delivered.

Answer to the Young Gentleman Who Has
Taken Them to Task.
Some few weeks ago A. A. Mcleod insti-
tuted libel suit against the Pioneer Press

article October 18th, in which A. A. Mcleod
was termed trickster, etc., in his action re-
garding the paving of jackson street, first
with the Stowe pavement, and then
the Phillips. Over what the p. z.
denominated an COURAGE the moth.
erly old concern warmed up exceed.
ngly AND touched up A. A. Mcleod
with its palsied hand quite vigorously. All
this was placed before the public by the
GLOBE at the time it happened. The suit
was brought as stated. Yesterday the
Pioneer Press, through its attorneys, Young
Newell, placed an answer to the complaint
in the hands of Mr.. McLeod's counsel, Mr..
L. S. Pierce. The p. P. admits it is cor.
poration; further admits OF confesses that
it published the Objectionable article.
Ye gods, the answer AYERS that in the char
acter of ga collector and dissemination of
7aeaos"-think of it!-the article was solely
published as current rumor, and that the
writer thereof had COLLECTED the ssnews''
from worthy and reliable sources. Further.
growing pugnacious, as it were, the p. p.
mods its hoary locks and declares it will stand
by its dissemination on the
above date. Alarmed at its sudden outburst
of temerity, it begins an apology for using
the phrase "bad-egg,'' and begs that Mr.
Mcleod will not understand it in reference
to him to mean that the p. p. for one
moment entertained the belief that he was
dishonest or unworthy of trust. In fact.
Mr. Mcleod is urged to accept the
above epithet as term of endearment.

appellation Of hi"h honor aud SYNONYM for
an exalted state in life in this world, and a

to say MI. Mcleod was 'hard'; soft boiled
again, no. for it wouldn't do to term Mr..
Mcleod ''softy." A "bad egg,'' as an ele
CANT phrase was used solely in Pickwickian
sense, and therefore the p. p. asks that only

THE $1,000 ACKES.
Conclusion of the Great Sale.

Yesterday the sale of the railroad lands
upon the st. Paul & Pacific extension was
continued in the Governors Office at the
capitol. There was larger attendance than
On the first day of the sale "wednesday and
the competition was more spirited; this was
owing probably to the fact that many of the
sections were pine lands with good growth
of timber on them. Several lots, however
were mere tamarac swamp and that too With
the timber cut off. The 24O acres purchas
ed by James Conway on Wednesday, at
$1.55 per acre, was put up again and resold,
the late purchaser declining to complete the
sale, as people had frightened him into the
belief that no good title could be given. The
land in question was one of the best lots in
the whole $4,000 acres and worth So per
acre. The following table shows the first
bid, the purchasing price and the purchaser:
