SHg WoUI DN'T MGlT.-A day on two
ago, when servant opened the side door
ola house, Oh Sibly street in response to
tamd's knock, her face looked SO kind
and benevolent that the hungry man lad
no doubt that good dinner aHaited him.
llo had, however, laid out a certain pro-
gramme, and he therefore began:
My dear woman, haven't had any
thing to eat for two days. and l wanted
to ask you wouldn't spare me one Of
these icicles which has fallen from the
eaves?"
"Well, dunno" she slowly replied,
as She looked out. 81 suppose we IN igbt
spare you one, if you are really suffering,
bat OF course, yot won't take tie largest
and be.l?"
lie stopped down and SOLICITED an ,ciclo
about two feet lsog, and in aesitotng
manner inquired:
"Ifyou would only sprinkle little
pepper ON this, would be forever CRATE
ful."
ITS rather bold in you to ask it, but
! suppose ! can sprink'e on IA little, and
she got the pepper and busted his lunch
con" very sparngIy.
lie started to move away, but seeming
to recoAect something, he turned and
said:
You seem so benevolent, IN asll you
to sprinkle on little salt, as well. l
like my icicles seasoned up pretty high"
"You are bold man, sir, and its
plaia that you have the appetite Of "a gIut-
ton, bat I'll give you bit Of salt, ana
then yoa must be gone" She replied.
Whea the ieicie had been duly saCed,
the man expressed his thanks, but didn't
move away. His game wasn't working
to salt him. Some folks wouldn't have
stood thero and seen him bite OF the end
ofa big icicle, but this girl did. And
further when he hestated to go, she in
dignantly called out:
Il know what you want. You now
want me to warm the icicle for you, and
pa. on some mustard, but I'll never, ney-
er do itl
The man noved slowly out Of the gate,
and as he threw his icio!e at a passing
dog, he gave ulteraoce to his disgust ia

THE NAlLs.-The growth Of the nails
is more rapid in children than in adults,

Indian Thrif.iessness.

Of forty-one million acres of land in
the Indian Territory twenty-six million
have been set apart for savages, and the
remaining fifteen million are unsurveyed
and belong to the United States. The
Indians who have thus far gone there
have done practically nothing in the
way of developing the immense re-
sources there to be found. IF the land
was equally divided up among Indian
emigrants it would average over 500
acres to each, which, in the hands OF
industrious white settlers, might have
been made to confer immense benefits
upon the country in the way of OPEN
ing up one of the richest and most mag.
nficent districts to be found between
the Atlantic and Pacific. The soil,
climate, water facilities and all other
natural characteristics are the best and
most desirable to be found anywhere in
the country. No civilized government
has ever been organized there. The
Indians have it all to themselves and
are doing nothing with it.--Er.

Our Agricultural Interests.

One OF the most encouraging indi.
cations of the times is the increased at
tention paid to agriculture, which is
shown by the heavy emigration from the
old States to the new, the increased
sales Of land by the Government and
railroad corporations, and the steady
increase 10 the magnitude of the cereal
cotton, the surprising increment of live
. ock, and the constantly charging
traffic Of the railroads. The estimated
value Of the agricultural products Of
the country the past year is three thou
sand million dollars, and the values OF
the exports of the same was upward Of
six hundred million dollars. The great
extent Of our country, with its dive,-
sity of soil aud climate, enables us to
produce within our own borders, and
by our own labor, not only the necessa-
ries but many Of the Injuries that are
consumed in civilized countries. AL
though the develop ment Of manufactur.
ing industries are making good progress
it is evident that agriculture must con
tinue to be the chief source Of wealth in
this country for long time to come -

Deposits for Surveys.


The Oregonian of the 18th has the
following:
A bill which had previously passed
the senate. passed the house also at the
recent session, making important
changes in the law relating to deposits
for surveys. The new law provides
that where settlers make deposits 10 ac-
cord with the statutes, 'the amount so
deposited shall 90 in part payment for
their lands situated in the townships
the surveying OF which is paid for out
of deposits, or the certificates issued for
such deposits may be assigned by in-
dorsement, and be received in payment
for any public lands of the United
States entered by settlers under the
pre- emption and homestead laws. and
not otherwise"
A note from Representative Williams
gives information that this bill had
passed, and We presume has been sigued
by the President. TO Surveyor Gener-
al Tolman we are Indebted for copy
of the bill, and also for the following
Suggestions as to advantages gained by
settlers under it, viz:
Settlers who are, or may hereafter
find themselves outside of the surveys
(and there are many already. and who
may wish to avail themselves of the
benefits of the homestead law, without
purchase. can make deposit to any one
desiring to purchase their presumption
or homestead.
This land scrip will be as good as
money to any one who may wish to en-
ter land under this law, and will bt
ready sale. And further, it will oper
at, to extend the public surveys, which
are much needed, under larger con
tracts, thus saving the expense Of q
multitude of maps, with consequent les
cost to the government.

A MAINE SENATOR.
From Baines Letter to New York Tribune.
This Chinese question connects itself in
timately and inseparablY with the labor
question. This immigration is encouraged
by some openly, by many secretly, becuuse
their labor is cheap. The experiment is a
most dangerous one. In a republic where
the man who works carries ballot in his
hands it will not do for capitalized wealth
to legislate for cheap labor. We do not
want cheap labor we do not want dear
labor. We want labor at fair rates; at
rates that shall give the laborer his fair
share and capital it's fair share. If more be
sought by capital less win in the end be re-
allied. There is not laboring man from
the Penobscot to the Sacramento who would
not feel aggrieyed, outraged. hardened,
crushed by being forced into competition
with the labor and the wages Of the Chi
nese coolie. For one will never consent.
| BY my vote or my voice, to drive the intel-
ligent workingmen OF America 10 that com-
petition and that degradation. Mr.. Garri-
son spent the best years of an honored life
in courageous battle for the freedom and
dignity of labor and for its emancipation
from thralldom. trust be will not lessen
the gratitude which tho workingmen Of
America owe him for his noble lead in tho
past by an effort now to consign them TO
the humiliation and the poverty inevitably
resulting from the competition Of Chinese
coolies. Years ago Mr.. Carlyle said to an
American friend. You will have no
trouble in your country SO long as you have
few people and much land; but when ycu
have much people and little land your trials
will begin" No one connected In any
manner with the government of the repnbI
lie can view the situation without grave
concern. At least nine large States Of the
South are disturbed By race trouble, Of
which no man yet is wise enough to see the
end; the central and largest and wealthiest
