Monday next. and after the disnns.

Monday next, and after the dispos-
al Of smaller trials, 1t is expected
that Cooper's case will be called.
The accused has been unable "a
raise the amount of his bail, and
he has remained quietly in prise n.
His lawyer has visited him daily
There are still found persons in
Hertford,hire who entirely refuse
to believe in his guilt. Nevertheless
| hisidentity with the defaulter of the
Navy Department and the forger
of California has been completely
established by letters and photo
graphs forwarded to the American
police. The request made by
Messrs. Freshfield. the Bank Of
| England solicitors, that the United
States should apply for Cooper's ex.
tradition if lie was wanted on Old
charges, has been again submitted
to the American Legation in this
city, and has been declined, on the
ground that the American Govern
ment would be put to unnecessary
expense. The demand was made,
first, to strengthen the case for the
prosecution, and insure a heavier
sentence than could follow one
count of the indictment alone;
secondly, as measure Of addition
al security in the remote possibility
of an acquittal; and thirdly, in or
der that the considerable amount
of stock now standing in Cnoper's
name in the bank of Messrs. Glynn.
Mills e. Co. may, instead of going
to his creditors, revert to its proper
owners in America, If it should
prove to be the proceeds of the San
Francisco forgeries.

We Little Birds.

Ye little birds that sit and sing
Amidst the shady valleys,
And see how Phillis sweetly walks
Within her garden alleys;
Go pretty birds about her bower,
Sing, pretty birds; she may not lower.
All, mel MethInksI see her frown;
We pretty wantons, MARBLE.
Go, tell her through your chirping bills,
As you by me are bidden-
To her is only known my love,
Which from the world is hidden.
Go, pretty birds, and tell her so,
See that your notes strain not too low,
For still methinks 1 see her frown;
Yepretty wantons, MARBLE.
Go, tune your voices harmony,
And sing I am her lover;
Strain loud and sweet. that every note
With sweet content may move her;
And she that hath the sweetest voice,
Tell her will not change my choice;
Yet still methinks see her frown,
Ye pretty waAtons, MARBLE.
Oh, fly, make hastei see, seei she falls
Into pretty slumber;
Sing round about her rosy bed,
Then. waking, she may wonder.
Sing to her tits her lover true
That sendeth love by you and you;
And, when you hear her kind reply,
Return with pleasant warblings.

bleach within fortnight if properly
earthed; later, when the days and
nights are cooler, three weeks or mere
are required. Celery is stored for win
ter markets in pits, trenches, etc,
made for the purpose. The plants are
set in these as closely as they will
stand. Provision is made to keep wa
ter from standing in them and the tops
are covered to keep the celery from
freezing. For family use a small sup
ply of celery already bleached may be
stored in the cellar, covered with light
garden soil or sand. In bleaching Gel
cry be careful not TO let it freeze, not to
heat it by too close packing and heavy
covering, and avoid standing water in
the trench. A method practised by the
Edinburgh market gardeners is report
ed to be as follows: They grow their
celery plants in temporary or nursery
beds until they are ten inches or one
foot high before planting in trenches.
The trenches are dug out six feet wide
and one foot deep; the bottom is loos-
ened and we'll enriched and the plants
are set in rows across the beds, fourteen
inches asunder, and the plants nine
inches apart in rows. By this means it
is claimed that space is economical and
the plants attain a fair average size and
quality.-NeaO York World.

Why?

Why does the bud that is near to its breaking
Wake sweeter smiles than the fully blown
rose?
Why does the dream on the verge of awaking
Stir deeper truths than a deeper repose?
Why does the love that is broken with part
ing
Lift itself higher by the fullness of pain?
Why is the incomplete rapture of starting
Close on completion we never attain?
Why? For boundless, unsatisfied longing
Lies deepest down in the warm human
heart;
Ever with this are the sympathies thronging,
Ever by this do the heaven-fiowers start.
Grow with our spring: we can follow you
wholly
Only far its instincts are sent;
Summers a fact that is hidden and holy;
We have not seen tive are not content.

A Mule Not q Horse.

Hugh Clark was before Justice Ricord
yesterday afternoon, on the charge of
violating city ordinance by allowing a
horse to run at large on the public
streets. On the part of the defendant,
it was shown that Clark had not owned
q horse for six months, but owned
mules, and that it was a mule which
had been on the streets. The defend
ants counsel commended that, as the city
ordinance says nothing about a mule,
the defendant was not liable. The City
Attorney insisted that q mule was a spe-
cies of horse, and that, as the defendant
admitted that his mule had been graz
ing on the streets, he was guilty of a vi
olation of the ordinance. Justice Ri
cord said he had no doubt that the
Common Council intended that no horse
or mule should run at large, but he must
construe the ordinance strictly, and he
therefore dismissed the complaint

Three Successful Women.

Mrs. E. K. Churchill, in the Provi-
dence (R. - Journal, thus sketches
three American women who have
achieved success in their various un-
dertakings:
The first of these is Madame Demon
est, the founder of the great paper
pattern industry. She is an American
woman with Yankee shrewdness, and
the taste and dress of a French woman.
Her paper patterns go wherever rail-
roads and steamboats, 60, and some
places where they do not. She has 26
agencies in France alone. Recently
she sent a ton of paper patterns to Lon
don at one shipment. She has made
substantial fortune through her clever
ness and untiring energy. She employs
many men in her immense business
house, but has a within of her own that
she will hire no man who uses tobacco
in any shape. She was for time in
terested in tea importations, and during
that time made the uncomfortable dis
covery that "there is not pound of
black tea which is not adulterated with
lsgwood" From her long connection
with working girls she has become much
interested in the industrial training of
women, which she rightly believes to be
the great need of her sex. She long
ago discovered what every body else
has found out who ever undertook to
aid poor working women, that scarcely
one in five hundred of the great army
of starving needle-women can sew de
Gently, "nor are they willing to remedy
their defects by patient application"
That is the worst of it.
Mrs. Churchill's second successful
woman is Mrs. Croly, "Jenny June"
Her maiden name was Cunningham.
Twenty-Five years ago she sought en-

ployment on the New York press. Sa-
pient managing editors laughed at her,
it is said. Margaret Fuller to the contra
ny Notwithstanding, they declared that
no woman could write any thing that
was worth reading in a daily newspa-
per. But Miss Cunningham would not
be put down. She persevered till day
came when they no longer laughed
Now she, too, is reapiog an ample pc
cuniary harvest from her labors, which
have been of an arduous sort, it is not
to be denied. She works like steel
machine. She edits Demorest's Maya
zine, and is the correspondent of 25 diff
ferent newspapers. For some years
she has been President of the Sorosis,
the first woman's club formed in this
country. Her daughter May, highly
cultured young girl, is following her
mothers example as a worker, and
has adopted the theatrical profession
for her occupation. Both Madame Dem
crest and Mrs. Croly have beautiful
homes.
The third of Mrs. Churchill's trio is
Miss Susan King. What kind of sue
cessful woman she is may be guessed
from the fact that by her own efforts she
has amassed fortune of half million
dollars. How? She was shrewd
Maine girl. She had observed that the
peculiar article of food known as
stripe" had good market value in the
cultured city of Boston. At the same
time she observed that the farmers all
about her threw it away. She put the
two hints together, and acted. She en-
gagged a number of women to prepare
the stuff for her, and then she sent it for
sale to Boston. In this way she real
ICED, in time, good sum of money.
Thus the foundation of her fortune was
not exactly veal pie," but tripe. With
the money she had saved she went to
New York, and began continuously to
buy real estate in small way. She
held it till the price she put on it was Of
fered, and then sold it, just as specula-
tors of the stronger minded sex would
do. Women can do SO many things
that people think they can't do, if they
only set their heads to it, and then work
and wait patiently, and don't throw
away all their earnings in Alsatian bows
and scoop bonnets. If Miss King had
spent thatf tripe money for sealskin
cloak and silk dresses, she would not at
present be the owner of half a million.
She wisely saved it. and now she can
buy ship load of sealskin cloaks if she
pleases.
Such little sketches as these are very
pleasant to read. They inspire other
women with hope and strength. In
doubleday all these successful ladies had
their moments of WEAKNESS and intense
encouragement, and we're at times al
most ready to give up. But they did
not give up. That is their lessen for
others. What woman has done, other
women can do.

Abandoned HOmesteads in Lou
iSiana.

The Homestead law answers admira-
bly, and is productive of good results so
long as those who seek to acquire home
steads under it act in good faith and
obey its provisions. There is a very
large class of persons. however, who
make applications Cor land under the
Homestead act who have no intention
of living upon it and who do not expect
to acquire title to it. If it is timber
land, their purpose is to remain upon it
only long enough to cut all the timber
eff, and, if it is good land and likely to
be valuable in time, their object is to
hold on to it until somebody will pay
them for their claim upon it. They gen.
orally build little shanty upon the
land, which they call an improvement.
Frequently they hire some one to stay
W on it for short time each year, but
oftener they abandon it altogether.
There are hundreds and perhaps thou
sands of these abandoned homesteads
scattered all over this State. They COM
prise some of the richest and most de-
sirable lands. The railroad, which is
now being built from Vermillionville to
Orange, runs through SO of them, while
on each side of it, and at no great dis
lance from it, there are large numbers
of them. OF course, where homesteads
have been abandoned or where
the law has not been complied
with, there is no legal claim
to them. 1t is not an easy mat
ter, however, for stranger to prove an
abandonment or to show that the law
has been violated. Rather than engage
in a controversy, a settler in nine cases
out of ten will either suffer himself to
be robbed or will give up the land he
sought to acquire. The present uncer-
tain status of these abandoned home
steads will no doubt prove great
hindrance to the settlement of the State.
The Land Office ought to take measures
to learn their true condition, so that set
tiers could obtain them without diff
Guilty wherever the Government has a
right to dispose of them.-N. o. Times

A SWARM OF IMMIGRANTS.

How America is Being Peopled-Statistics
of the Land-office.
Washington Dispatch St. Louis Republican,
If large and increasing immigration
and settlement of public lands is any
criterion of returning prosperity, there
certainly can he no doubt that good
times are coming. The immigration
this spring has been something wonder
full, and better still, the information
gained here shows that the people who
are coming into the country are the bet
ter class of immigrants. They are COM
ing in colonies and with enough money
to take up public land and improve it
at once. The reports being received at
the Land-office show that during the
four months ending with April as much
public land was taken up as during any
one year heretofore. The Land office is
kept busy night and day, owing to the
increased and daily increasing demands
for public lands. The new tide seems
to be getting to the Northwest. into
Minnesota and Dakota Territory partic
ularly. This is accounted for by the
fact that much of the immigration is now
from Norway and Sweden and other
rugged countries, and it naturally seeks
a like climate in this country.
In this connection some figures just
prepared at the Land-office regarding
the settlement of public lands during
the past 10 years are interesting.
For the 10 years ending June 80,
1878, there were 57,666,9 acres dis
posed of for cash under the Homestead,
Timbcr-cultare, Agric lltural College
Scrip, and Military, Bounty Land-war-
rant acts. None of this is on account
of railroad grants. Kansas leads the
list with 9,748.0O acres. For the year
ending June 80, 1873, over LIZ O,0O0
acres were taken up in that State. 1t
is only within the last few years that
Dakota and Minnesota have been show
ing large figures. In the former Terri
tory 3,4S7, 900 acres were settled during
the 10 years, 1877, 900 of this being in
the last year. Minnesota has had an
average of half million acres until
last yer, when the amount doubled.
In California 1916 ,699 acres were Ia
ken up in the 10 years. In 1869 20 II.
most of this was done. In 1912 Kan
sas had a big settlement. Then it fell
off until about two years ago. In 1870
1-2 there was a rush to Nebraska. In
the year of 1870 as much land was ia
ken up in that State as in the three
years of 1868. Michigan and Wis
consin both show large settlement,
but not SO large as that of Minnesota.
In Missouri in the 10 years the follow
ing is the exhibit by years: In 1869,
3O1 6s2; 1879, 444, 592; 1871, 291, 1888;
1872, 2O3, 173; 1873, 145 4sO; 1874, H.
1927; 1875, 57.7s3; 1876, 1862; 1877,
A, s95; 1873, IS. 1884. Total, 1856, 866.
To give something of an idea of how
much public land there is in this coun-
try it is only necessary to say there are
yet 1000. 461,171 acres of lands as yet
OF course much of this is
of no use, as for instance 369, 529 500
acres in Alaska, and the great area o
country. There were 724,-
