HOOTE,a LAND BILL.

The bill introduced by Senator Booth, to prevent obsiructions 10 pre- emption and homestead settlement provides that the occupation, inclos- ure, or cultivation of any portion of public lands. except by persons hav- ing claim EhereGo under the United States laws shall not withhold the same from homestead or pre-eInptinn settlement, and any person not hav- ing any suca lncai claim, who shall by force or intimidation prevent such
 settlement, shall be liable tO fine and
 imprisonment, not exceeding six months, OF both. Tine necessity for this bill, arises from the practice of herders and others in q certain quar- ter of cultiyating or pretending to cultivate some portions of extensive tracts which they desire, perhaps by merely drawing furrow around
 them as means Of preventing bona fids settlements. The Commissioner Of the General Land Office has re- gently ruled that he has no power to protect settlers against tisis practice.

RAILROADS IN MEXICO.

By reference 10 a special telegram from Tucson, published in another column, it will he seen that the Mex ica- Congress refused the building of a railroad from the UEited States
 into Sonora, with it's terminus at Guavmas. The Mexican Govern ment has heretofore itsanilester its de sire tn encourage an enterprise Of this kind by conceding 10 compa- ny that would build such a road-ex- emption from taxation for term of years, a large suhsiiy of lands, free right of way and other liberal gifts The distance from inc border to Quay mas is G65 miles, and through what is supposed to Dc inc richest mineral country rxtant. Such a road would be benefit to Arizona and the Unit ei States at large, but the officials of that country are afraid that the profits will get into the American pockets, rather than in theirs, cOnse- Quently they refuse the aid heretofore promised by them Mexico has been lacking in that enterprise that builds mp and increases the wealth of na- ton. Her people, in the interior, are indolcnt and disorderly. Her treas ury is depleted; her officials not rec ownized, and indeed, everything that would tend to make her one of the most prosperous Republics nn the Continent, is lacking, simply from her continual internal tumult X railroad from the United States to Mexico wou Id advance the interests of both countries. It is true that should the Americans once get q foot hold, the Mexican element would un- doubtedly be crowded back, as ttey
 were when Texas, New Mexico and Arizona were coded 10 the United States The sixty-mile limit
 is what prevents Inc foreign element from now working and developing mines, as mine cannot be recorded within those limits in the northern States These things will be regula- ted m time. and We predict that the time is net far distant when we will have another Territory under the laws ot our Government, and the di.- tensions prevalent in car neigh bOr- ing State will be q thing of the past.

An exchange says, that the planet
Mars, which this week becomes more
brilliant than at any time since 1877,
is now the most strIking object in the
sky-nOt even Jupiter excepted. In
deed it almost equals Jupiter in ap-
parent size. The rich, ruddy color
of Mars. unlike that of any other
planet or star, serves to easily dis
tinguish it, and adds greatly to lis
splendor. The present opportunity
is being improved by astronomers in
all parts Of the world to catch a
glimpse of Mars two little moons.
Before the discovery of the satellites
by Professor Hall in 1877
ssThe snowy poles of mcOnless Mars"
was a favorite line with some popular
writers on astronomy. 1t is very Gu
rious, indeed, that Dean Swift, in
..Gulliyer's Travels, and Voltaire, in
'.1iicromegas, both assert that Mars
has two moons, and back up this
opinion with mock scientific argu-
ments. There are some other queer
facts about these moons. Astrono-
mers cannot decide whether they are
five or hundred miles in diameter
The inner one, which is only about
1900 miles from the surface OF Mars,
goes around the planet three times a
day, or. in other words, travels
through its whole orbit three times
and little over while the planet is
turning about It's axis once. The
outer moon makes less than one rev
olution about the planet in the same
time. So the Inhabitants of Mars
see one moon using in the west,
crossing the sky ard setting IN the
east, ali within space of about ten
hours, while the other moon rises III
the east and swings slOwly y westward,
sometimes going through all the
changes from new moon to full and
from full to old moon between its
rising and setting.
Unfortunately these curious satel-
ties are entirely beyond the reach of
small telescopes. 1t does not require
large instrument, however, to show.
what is far more interesting, the
shadowy outlines of the continents
and oceans of Mars and the glitter
ing snow fields that cover the frozen
regions about his poles, where it is
easy to imagine some martial Frank
lin and his crew hemmed In by ice
bergs, and perhaps seeking way of
escape by steering toward that dis
tant star, the earth, which they would
see shining low down in their south
ern heavens. Mars has been careful
ly mapped and names have been given
to his continents, bays and oceans,
and so well and the main features OF
his surface known that, if a terres-
trial astronomer could step across
the fifty million miles of space that
now separate us from this sister OF
the earth and set his foot in '.Hersch-
el Land" he would need no mentor
to tell him which way lay ''Delarne
Ocean" and what was the shortest
cut to the ''Straits OF Kepler."

n Dispatch from across the sea tells
how one of the Rothschilds throws
away money. The dispatch says: ::
"RCthscmia, of Vienna, has had

box costing $4,000, in q stable
costing $4,000 Perhaps it is put
ting i entirely too strong to say that
the money was thrown away. Those
who furnished the material and did
the work On the stable got the money,
and those who sold the horses that
are in it got money, and those who
attend to the horses, get money every
month. and should be easier III heart
and mere conten.ed in mind than the
man who must struggle TO raise rev.
enues to keep up such an establish
mert. It is. infinitely, an easier job
to attend horses III such a stable, than
to attend to a business that must
yield revenues that keep up such a
stable.

Wednesday, but no bridegroom ap-
peared August Hummorder, Ger
man youth, had dressed for the cere-

the thought of facing the matrimo-

Among the old friends of General
Grant who visited him at his home in
Galena during the week was n Mr..
Harris, OF Dubuque. Old Harris
shook hands with Grant, and then
with great impressiveness unwrap-
ped a roll of paper, there being re

ance two cigars. General, said
Harris, "you gave me one of these
cigars when you were general of the
army, and 1 resolved not to smoke it
until you should be made President.

until you were again President. Now

pulled cigar from his pocket and
passed it over without a word.

SoME weeks ago quarrel, in San
Francisco, California, between a
preacher and an editor, resulted in
the wounding Of the preacher. Great
excitement prevailed at the time.
Eearney, the agitator, made a num-
ber n speeches, and his friends claim
tiIa Z WAS his influence that saved
CalIforaia from mob violence. 1t is
certainly something to put in such a
claim FOR kearney, but the truth is,
it was the common sense of TIE peo-
pie that kept mob violence from man
ifesting Itself. The amount OF com
mon sense that Kearney has, may be
gus red by the following, which is
FROM san Francisco under date of the
9TH inst.
a meeting. ostensibly of cigar
makers, was held last evening in Hor-
ticultural Hall, and it was addressed
by Young Kanoch, son of the Mayor
elect. Auditor Dunn and kearney.
Nothing unusual occurred until near
luG t1OSt Va 1l4C WIN 1ASeAA
ney announced that it WAS proposed
to organize in San Francisco a secret
society called the "Jacobin Society,
whose object it would be to hang any
and every merchant who will employ
Chinese, or IN any way encourage
Chinese labor. The agitator called
for d show of hands or the PROPOSE
ton. Instantly and with singular
unanimity, the hands OF all present
were raised in approval. No disap.
probation was shown, either by word
or sign, Of Kearneys proposition to
organize a secret murderous society.
Much excitement has been produced
wherever this acton is known.
4 secret society with the purposes
set forth above could not exist among
Ame1ican-born citizens 1t would
have to he under the inspiration OF
foreigners, such as kearney. The
country genera lly is not in favor of a
large foreign emigration, whether ii
be Of Cinnamon, Scotchmen, Germans
or Irish.
