THE Last or THE VALENTINE sCh1P
EWTNnLE


rfor against the location Of tho VALENTINE
lanc-sofip on tho lake-front property haa
hocn roceIyad with gratitude not only by
thoso Immediately Infected by tho attempted
blackmail but by tito whole city. This scrip
was issued by Oongross In e1ohango for Ca!i-
fornia lands previously located, which the
Government subsequently, desired to roooou-
py. It gayo tho privilege 10 tho holders Of
locating similar quantity Of land anywhere
among tho unoccupied lands Of the country.
Tho owner Of this scrip choso to coustrue
this privilege as warrant 10 pounco upon
any land TINT had originally belonged
to tho General Government md tho
title to which might 10 disputed up
on any technical aaw whatover. They
fixed upon ocrtain property within the
city-limits Of ohicago, now owned in part by
tho city and in pnrt by private persons, as
most likely to yield thom rich roturus.
They secured favorable construction
Of their claim, in some way not Jet explained,
from the General Commissioner Of tho Land
oillce; and, Ind not Secretary sonunz re-
versed tint decision, they would havo becn
III position to exact heavy tribute from ill.,
: 'nocont purchasers or subject the latter to
long, harassing, and costly litigation. Even
partial success would havo yielded the own.
era Of this scrip much larger returns than
my to which they woro over entitled under
tho not of Congress, or by virtue Of sur1cn-
dcring tho public lands In California which
they ceded back to Tho Government.
The points on which Secretary souunz
bnses his decisions aro 30 cloar aud couo!u.
eive that his interference will probably settle
the controversy for all imo. Flo holds TINT

War Department in 1859 was made Under
proper authority Mt the time, and that no at1-
thority is now vested in tho Interior Depart
mont to review TINT action. 1fo also holds
TINT such 1and Us has been reclaimed by

A CERTAIN CURE FOR CuILLs AND
FEvER.-Several years ago was travel
ing with very intelligent Kansas stock
dealer. In the course of conversation
he remarked that in the early settlement
of that State he had suffered much, as all
early settlers always do in the West, from
this disease. He had used the ordinary
remedies, largely composed of quinine,
with the usual results-curing, for the
time being, to return again in week or
two.
Being among some of the indians south
of that State, he came across French
man who called himself doctor. This
man advised him to get an ounce OF
camphor, all in one piece, if possible,
sew it up in small cloth bag, hanging
it round his neck with tape, so it would
come at the bottom of the sternum or
breast bone, and securing it there with
another tape round the body, TO keep it
in place. This, he said, would all evapo-
rate in week or ten days, when he must
get another and use it in the same way.
Two ounces thus used, costing 20 cents,
would cure, he declared, the worst case
of ague so it would never come back.
The Kan9s man declared that he had
tried this remedy in hundreds of cases,
and had never known it to fail. Since
obtaining this information l have tried it
many times, with the same results. SO
simple and harmless a remedy ought to
be in general use.-Prairic Farmer.

Mrs. SENATOR GoRDoN.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Chicago
Times relates the following:
Some people were speaking the other
day of the regularity with which Mrs. Sen
ator Gordon attends the sessions of the
Senate, and the keen interest with which
she watches the debates. One of the
party said that she is so devoted to her
husband that she goes with him every
where. During the war she took her
two little boys, one almost baby, and
lived with her husband in camp, follow.
ing him into battle, in fact, sharing all
the danger with him. She had an am
bulance at her service, and il was in this
that she used to follow him. When he
was so seriously wounded, she had her am
bulancc driven right into the battlefield,
and had him pulled out from among
the dead and wounded and placed in the
am bulance and she drove of with him
All of this was done under the heaviest
fire, and the cover of the ambulance was
pierced with bullet-holes. Some one
said to her: "How could you have the
nerve to do it ?" "IYhy," replied Mrs
Gordon, ~ did not think any more ol
it than l should of pulling one of IN!
BOYS out of the fire if he had fallen in.

GRANT, FATHER AND SoN.--Royalty
is already partly established among US.
Hereditary privileges are coming in
vogue. A SON of Gen. Grant is accorded
privileges which would not be extended
to him but for the fact that he is a son of
Gen. Grant. Birth giving to him politi-
cal advantages over American citizens in
general.
In the army Frederick Dent Grant had
already been rapidly promoted, not on
the ground of merit, but owing to the ac-
cident of birth. Now he has been grant
ed leave of absence for two years, or as
some accounts say, for all unlimited time
to accompany his father on a govern
ment vessel to India, China and Japan.
His place, meanwhile, on Gen. Sheridan's
staff is to be retained for him.
Here is favoritism-hagrant favoritism
ON account of birth. 1t is akin to an
hereditary nobility-a departure in the
direction of monarchial government.
We have no personal i'll will toward
this young man, but, We will spare no
one who stands in the sunlight of the Vi
tai American principle of equality.
Yet out of this nettle danger will We
pluck the flower of safety. This unwar-
ranted favoritism to young Grant will
serve to make the very name of Grant
as the synonym of an upstart hereditary
nobility-hated and abhorred by masses
of the American people.-M YSun.

Many a young man is very agre

= Many young man is very agreea-
BILE in social parties, but can't do much
more than support himself. For a girl
to marry such fellow is taking great
risks. To marry man who has nothing
but a salaried situation is imprudent.
Better wait until by economy he has
something to begin married life on. If
he really loves lie can wait while, and
if he has a manly nature he ca. restrict
himself of some enjoymeuts so as to save
money to begin matrimonial life with.
If he won't do that he is selfish, and not
likely to make a good husband. If he
can't, then certainly expecting his salary
to support comfortably himself and q
wife is absurd. Love is indispensable
for married life, but some home comforts
are absolutely needful to make married
life very agreeable. Even if man has
some means it may be very unwise to
risk marriage partnership with him:
If ne is little dissipated, or mean and
selfish, or unprincipled, all the worst
traits of his character are likely to be
manifested as soon as the honeymoon is
