Nellie Cox, a six-year-old child, the
only daughter of Crosby NJ. Cox, one Of
the most widely-known citizens of Ches-

two months ago was severely bitten on
the leg, below the knee, by an old pet

neighbor. The wound, after being
properly caliteriZed, healed nicely, and
The little girl was able to be along with
her playmates again. The canine was
shot Immediately. At the time of the
biting it was thought that the dog was
not rabid. On Monday of this week
little Nellie was taken sick and soon
showed unmistakable signs of hydropho-

yesterday two others were called in con-
sultation. Their diagnosis was hydro

The Public Lands.
THE LARGE AREA TAKEN UP BY
HOMESTEAD ENTITIES DURING THE

THE LARGE AREA TAKEN UP BY
HOMESTEAD ENfftrEs DURING THE
LAST YEAR.
According TO a Washingt IN correspOn-
dent the amount Of public land entered
for homestead settlement in the year
ended juno 30, 1879, was triae over
6,OO0, 600 acres, or All area little greater
than that of the State of New Hamp-
shire, and considerablylarger than tina
of New Jersey. The avela age number Of
a res taken by each homestead settler,
as shown by tho entries of the last ten
years, Is 120. The unsettled public lands
IN the United States therefore received a
population of at least 5O,000 families and
individual settlers during the last twelve
months, under the operation of the
Homestead Law alone. The real acces-
sion probably far exceeded 150,UOO per-
sons.
From an unpublished statement made
by the Commissioner of the General
Land Office. 1t is learned that the whole
number Of homestead entries from tile
time the Homestead law went into opera
tion TO June 30, 1878, period Of sixteen
years, was 1884. S4S. Allowing 12O acres
to each settler, the whole amount nf
land thus occupied would be- G,1S1, 100
acres. This immense domain would
make fifteen Stat. as large as T. nnecti-
cut. 1t is larger by nearly 100000
acres than all New England, and ii ex-
ceeds the combined areas of Massachu-
sets, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, and New York by an area
about equal TO that of Delaware.
In the number of homestead entries,
Kansas takes the lead. with 6l,034
Minnesota star ds next with 5l,b75, and
Nebraska third with 1902. In the rate
of Increase from 1877 to 1873, DakOi all
took the lead. The number of home
st, ad entries in that Territory in 1877
was 1,l54, and in 1878 it was 4,12S. III
the Sta es Of Kansas, Minnesota ant.
Nebraska, and the Territory of Dakotal,,
the home .tead entries in 1877 amounted
to 01O,397 acres, and In 1878 to 1852,
6S3 acres ; an increase of over 900 pei
cent.
In 1872 the total area covered by en-
tri under the Homestead law amount,
to 100000 acres. In 1873 the entries
fell Off to 3,7e3, 900 in 1875 to 2,856, ,0O0
aci es, and in 1877 to 2,178,O00 acres. In
the year ended December 81, 1878, the
entries were about G,OOO,OO0 acres. Il
tie falling off in the number of entri Z
from 1875 10 1877 was to be attributed,
as Commissioner Williamson thinks,
to the preva ling financial distress, the
remarkable increase during the last
year ought 10 afford some evidence of q
re, ival of prosperity.

Sanlxey at SpurgeOn's Church.

Ira d. Sankey, the evangelist who
wen. to Europe last fall returned to
New York, in the steamer Berlin, on
Saturday. A Herald reporter interview
ed him, and was given to understand
that Mr.. Sankey's visit abroad had been
q success.
Last Sunday week Mr.. Sankey sat in
the congregation in Mr.. Surgeons
Tabernacle. He was recognized BY the
great preacher, who deputed deacon to
invite him to the platform. Then the
preacher asked the evangelist to sing
for his people In the evening. The Tab
ernacle was crowded, and Mr. Sankey
sang "Who il on the Lords sid+?" Mr..
Spurs con an o lnced the American cyan
gelist's intended departure, and when
afte, ward the latter sang "Hold the
their feet spontaneously and Joined in
the chorus so Justify that Mr.. Spurgecn
remarked that ths roof of his Taberi acle
having withstood that volume of sound
might be considered safe. The enthu-
siasm of the audience was so great that
Mr.. Spurgeon had the chorus sung over
three times. That was the evangelist's
last song in Eu' ope. Mr.. Sankey thinks
Mr.. Spurgeon ~ the most original preach-
er of the 9ge. And in illustration of this
statement he said that a member CT Par
lament sent him recently copy of the
Army bill, then pending before the
House Of Commons, and In a pencil note
asked II 1t could not be spiritual zed
Mr.. Spurgeon m ,de 1t the text for one of
the finest sermons the evangelist had
ever heard n the duties of the Christian
soldier. Mr.. Sankey travelled homeward
in company of Mr.. Inman (of the Ipman
hne,) to whom he was introduced on
hoa, d, and that gentleman assured him
that the evangelist's former work in
England Is still remembered and its IN
huence felt. and that they would find
everything ripe for grand campaign
should they visit England again. But
Mr. Sankey has no definite plans for the
future. He expected to see Mr.. Moody
last night but the latter had not come on
at the time of this interview. The sick
ness of child detained him. The two
evangelists are to be with Mr.. Sawyer
this afternoon and evening in Cooper
Institute. They will stay b. re q few
days, but their meetings will be occa-
siOnal only until II. They have invi-
tations to several large cities for their
opening, bnt can't tell vet where to be-
gin. The evangehst's family, who were
with him, returned also in excellent
health and fully delighted with their trip.

quote them here:
IL may appear that this is not the ap-

use we propose making Of the subject at
this time. it is appropriate. We call the
attention Of farmers aud livery men TO
the importance Of watching carefully
the effect of sslted hay on horses and
cattle. These animals will eat a small
quantity of salt winter and summer.
and ii is beneficial to their health. But
it is improper and injurious to compel
animals to eat it beyond the demands
of the appetite. Too much salt is vio-
lent irritant of the bowels. causing
fever; and overdoses sometimes pro

eat salt hay drink too much water,
which brings on looseness of the bowels
and securing. The same is the case
with horses.
