 CHICAGO, July 29.-McGarrahan is not to be put down. He says that he considers it as peculiar that the Con- pany's valid claim covered particu- lar spot in Controversy when he had four hundred and eighty acres to choose from, and that he managed to see title there which was worthless for every other part of the claim This will appear to others as the strikingly original feature in the de cision. Mir. McGarrahan regards it the best decision that he has yet in his favor, because it establishes the principle that two-thirds of the con troverted land was not the property of the company. He will appeal to Congress

WE WILL HAVE THE PAY OR KEEP OUR
 GOODS!

We hereby notify our friends and the public generally that from this time forth we will cease to sell for credit on any terms whatever. We are aware that in order to do this we will have to sell cheaper than our. neigh bors, and we are prepared to do so. As we are building we are very much pressed for cash, and therefore 1t will be better for us to sell for cost than to sell on ever so short a time, no matter how good the buyer. The facts in the case are just these: it is a necessity with us to have our goods or to have the wherewith to buy more. Of course we do not expect to do so much business, but we are de- termined to do what we can.

AN INDIANA WOMAN Who WANTED TO
MARRY HAYEs.-Two peculiar cases of
insanity were developed here to-day.
The first was that of young lady who
gave the name of Emeline Noble, and
her residence Indiana" who called
upon President Hayes this morning and
informed him that she had arrived in ac-
cordance with her promise to marry him.
The President said he would have to
consult some of his friends about the
marriage, and managed to get out of the
room. She was then taken in charge by
an officer and conducted to Police Head
quarters. She was rather finely dressed,
and had just arrived in the city to-day and
seemed bent on being married. Senator
Voorhees,, upon being informed of the
case, and happening to know her par
ents, requested that she be sent to the
Government Asylum for treatment She
will be sent there tomorrow, in the
meantime being provided with quarters
in hotel. She had with her S217, which
she parted with reluctantly, although
she was told it would be kept safe for
her at police headquarters. She APP
peared very mad because the President
did not marry her, as she had imagined
ne WOu1u, anu ealu IL ue IlAu not COu-
sented by his silence in not declining the
offers she had sent him in letters, she
would have married young man in
Indianapolis. Miss Noble is about 81
years of age, and is not at all bad
looking, and, besides, is well educated.
The other case was that of young lady
who gave her name as Mary Virginia
Coburn, who was found roaming about
Georgetown. She is about the age OF
Miss Noble, and arrived at police head
quarters about the same time She was
also on similar errand, but did moi
seem to have any particular man in view
to marry, though she said she was very
anxious to marry some one. She told
the officers that she lived at Rockville,
Montgomery county, Maryland. She
will be sent back to Rockville tomorrow
in the meantime, being quite violent,
she is kept at police headquarters. Il
appears she has been about Georgetown

ENCOURAGING HEALTHY READING FOR
BoYs.- The Manchester Guardian gives
the following account of an interesting ex-
pertinent which has been carried on for
about fourteen months at one of the
branch free libraries in Manchester, which
the result has been so satisfactory as to
warrant an extension of the system at an
early date: At the Ancoats Library it
was decided to encourage the attendance
ofjuvenile readers by the provision of q
separate room, containing judicious se-
lection of books of that class in which all
boys take delight. They are isolated
from the general reader in order to pre-
vent any possibility of annoyance to
adults from juvenile exuberance Special
provision was made for their wants, and
friendly advice afforded as to the choice
of books. The selection made by the
committee included many books of popular
science, travels. biography and history,
while fiction of the healthy type supplied
by the works of Ballantyne and Kingston
was also provided. At the Ancoats
Library the average attendance during
past winter has been about $50 each
evening. At the Charlton Library the
attendance has been much higher,averag-
| ing about 230 on each evening, and rising
| to about 260 on Sunday evenings. 1t is a
curious LhcI Thai the amount Ot uCtiou
read by these Juveniles is considerably
below the average OF libraries of all
| classes, not amounting TO much more
than 81 per cent. Another peculiarly
is, that while natural history and physics
are found more attractive than even his
tory and physics and found more attrac-
tive than even history and biography,
| "our boys decline to touch the dismal
science at all. This,perhaps arises from
the difficulty of providing popular litera-
ture of political economy, though it might
be supposed that Miss Martineau's capi-
tai stories might have been used to diff.
fuse knowledge of the laws of socis.
economy still greatly needed. Illustrated
works take precedence in point of de-
mand, and then follows the narratives oi
the fairy world, including the varied
Adventures OF Alice in Wonderland
Care has, ofcourse, been taken to exclude
all books of doubtful tendency. and tc
provide those that are bright and healthy
in tone. The writings of the lady known
in literature as "Hesba Strettonn are ex-
ceedingly popular. and perhaps the mos
popular Of them is The Wonderful Life,
a biography of the Founder of Chris
| tianity.

The Congressional committee to in
vestigate the cause of the depression of
labor was in session in Chicago last
week. The great trouble, apparently,
was to prove that there is any depres-
sion. According to the weight of evidence
produced it would seem that the great
complaint about labor being depressed
was more imaginary than real. We are of
the opinion that the great difficulty is in
the fact that those who are idle have no
desire to labor. The evidence of the
great majority of reliable witnesses
went to show that all branches of indus
try and commerce were in a fOurishing
condition. We have seen it stated i'm a
number of the papers of this state that
during harvest it was difficult matter
for the farmers to obtain hands to secure
their crops and yet at the same time the
cities and towns of the state were full
of idle men, who kept up the cry that
there was no work To be had. The fact
is that political demagOuges are trying
to make capital out of imaginary evils,
for their own selfish ends, and hence all
the cry about labor being depressed and
the conflict between capital and labor. A
candid investigation will show that
there is no true grounds for either.

THE public debt statement for July
shows an increase in the debt of over
100000, the largest increase of any
month for last year. This eXtraOrdina-
rily large excess of expenditures is main
ly attributable to the fact that, in &C
cordance with the act passed at the last
session of Congress, the Secretary of the
Treasury was directed to pay out for
pension arrears the fund held for the re-
demption of fractional currency, which
amounted to near $7,5OO,OOO. In addi-
ton, several deficiencies of the fiscal
year ending June 30 last were paid dur
ing the month just closed, and large dis
bursements were also made on account
of the appropriations for the new fiscal
year, which became available July 1.
The fractional currency reserve fund
having been exhausted in paying ar
rears of pensions, and 10 other funds
having been specially appropriated for
that purpose by Congress for the future,
payments on account of arrears of pen
sions will depend on whether there will
be "any money in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated" when the claims
for arrears of pensions are presented for
payment.
