THE ENIIGRANT's PARADISE.-Ac cor
respondent of the Austin Mimi. Trans
cTtpt writes clever tTavesty on the in
ducementS to emigration sometimes pub
lished in the local papers of that State
There is plenty of government land to be
had. on can get farm to suit YOURSELF
Each quarter section has 40 acres of timber
on the northwest corner; the reason for hav-
ing 1t on the northwest corner is to protect
the rest of the farm from the chilly winds
that sometimes blow from that direction in
the winter; there is a living creek running
across each quarter section, and three living
springs on each quarter section, where You
would wish to build the house and barn
you have to erect your own buildings your
self. They would have been built for Won,
but we don't know what size to build them.
The wheat crop last year was not very good.
We did not raise more than one hundred
bushels per acre the kernalS are not larger
than a common bean; oats, rye, and barley
In proportion corn was very good the ears
are about five and half feet long and one
foot in diameter We can't raise pumpkins
here; vine viii cover 16O acres of land.
and that is all the land that a man can Get in
side of the railroad limits 50 YOU see it
would spoil the rest of the crop. Tomatoes
are about the size of your common pumpkins
down there. Some of my friends want to
know if | think this as good a country here
as in Kansas and as healthy. ] have never
been in Kansas, but there is a man here
from that State he came here six weeks ago
and when he came here his weight was seven
ty pounds he said he was enjoying good
Kansas health ; to-day he weighs $50 pounds
and he Is still on the gain the average
weight of the natives of this country is about
one ton; there are never any deaths here I'M
less by accident. i believe there was boy
killed himself here last fall trying to carry
two ears of corn at one time. Money is
plenty if a man owes another he don't ask
him for it he viii get il soon without asking
if he happens to think he is owing him We
don't bother about such things here. Cattle,
here as they are in Mower county. Hens
eggs are about the size of Carlos Fenton's
half bushel.

SLEEP ''ON TAP. THE Kansas City
journal tells how to WOO sleep when one
is restless. Sit down in an easy posi-
tiOn, relaxing all the muscles of the body,
and let the head drop forward upon the
breast, as low as it will fall without
forcing it. Sit quietly this way for a
few minutes, freeing all the power of
the body, and a restful, drowsy feeling
will ensue, which will, if not disturbed,
lead to refreshing sleep. If the sleep
less fit comes ON in the night one can
simply sit up in the position described.
Stiffness of any part of the body must be
avoided, and it is well to bend the head
forward after lying down, rather than to
keep it straight or throw it back upon
the pillow. The writer suffered several
years from sleeplessness caused by severe
pain and nervousness, and was taught
the above by physician of great eX-
perience and ability, and found through
it complete relief. Many persons. simi
larly afflicted within the writer's know
ledge have tried it and always witt
good results.

INSTRUCTIONS TO 4 Speaking
of courts, reminds us Of funny inStTuc-
tion said to have been given by Judge
to jury in-well we won't say in what
State. 1t runs in this way:
eff the jury believe, from the evidence,
that the plaintiff and the defendant were
partners in grocery, and that the plaintiff
bought out the defendant and gave his
note for the interest, and the defendant paid
for the note by delivering to the plaintiff a
COW, which he warranted not breachy' and
the warranty was broken by reason of the
breachineSs OF the COW, and the plaintiff
drove the COW back and rendered her to the
defendant, but the defendant refused too re-
ceive her, and the plaintiff took her home
again and put heavy yoke or poke upon
her, to prevent her from jumping the fence
and the COW in attempting TO jump the fence,
by reason of the yoke or poke, broke her
neck and died and if the jury further be
lieve that the defendants interest in the gro
Gerry was not worth anything. the plaintiff 5
note was worthless, and the COW good FOR no
thing, either for milk or beef, or for green
hide then the jury must find out for them
selves how they will decide the case-fOr the
court, if she understands herself and she
thinks she do, don't know how such Gus
sed case should be decided"

BONE CAVES IN IRELAND. The
bone cave at Shandon. near Dungarvan,
in the county Of Waterford, accidently
discovered some twenty years ago, was
the first Irish cave which produced ami
NAL remains belonging to the pleistOcene
period. In it were found remains of the
mammoth. horse, bear. wolf, reindeer
Professor Leith Adams. in his report on
the exploration Of this cave l1ST6) sur
missed that it was an enormous shelter
shed where the wild deniZens repaired
to end their days or for the purpose of
dragging in their prey, and suggested
that it required only funds and some
enterprise to discover other caverns in
the neighbOrEOOd of this one containing
abundance of pleIsOcene animal remains.
One such has, within the last few days,
been discovered near Cappquin, at dis
tance at about seven miles from the
ShandOn cave, by Mr.. Usher. Of Cap
pagh. This new cavern is of large size,
and appears to have been occupied at a
very remote period by bears, portions of
whose skeletons are to be met with in
the lower deposits of the floor; but the
chief interest in the discovery rests in
the fact that the remains of the great
Irish elk (lfegacerOs HiberOjcvS) were
found in it, in conjunction with the
bones of other deer and of bears, and
along with a polished greensboro colt
(neOlithic) and several stone TubbeTs.
There was also some very remarkable
and strong evidences met with of the
association of man with the great Irish
elk, for, on the authority of Professor
Leith Adams, in whose presence these
remains were taken out of the cave, and
by whom they were packed up for fur
ther observation, we learn that many Of
the bones Of the magacerOS were eviden-
ly split for the marrow. and several elk
cannon bones were found fashioned into
avis and gauges, showing tnat'man was
not only contempOraneous with the
giant stag of Ireland, but also may
have in some measure helped to eXter-
inmate it. The explorations of this
cave are still going on and they promise
to open out a new era in the prehistoric
history of Ireland.-LOndon Times.

a CHILD WITH 4 TRANSPARENT
SKIN.-The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer
Sun says:
"a remarkable monstrosity, or perhaps,
more properly freak of development, was
reported to rs yesterday. The subject Is
child born Thursday last, about five miles
from the city. The child Is perfectly normal
and natural, with one exceptiOn-the walls
or covering of the abdomen are transparent.
There is no thick outside skin or epidermis,
but simply a fine bladder-like covering
which admits Of a thorough inspection Of the
various organs contained il the abdomen
The entire contents of the abdomen lie
in full view. We have been assured by
physicians that such an anomalous develop
ment as in this case Is unknown to them,
and that, furthermore the books do not re-
cord q similar case. The child is a male,
first born, weighs ten pounds, seemingly
WELL and the son of youthful, robust parents.
Yesterday the father reported it and the
mother as doing well, the child feeding from
its mothers breast as naturally as any other,
and otherwise in perfect health IL may live,
but the chances are against il. "

BOUND TO HAVE IT.

Joe Gillespie, of the ReUiew, is bound to have
the tunnel under the railway tracks and says
about it: "a careful survey by the city engineer
shows that It is eminently practicable His sur.
vey embraces the following PLAN Width of tun-
mel, 25 feet Height under the track, u feet. The
course Of the tunnel will be somewhat of a curve,
until it strikes the level on Webb street, about
half way between the Nick corner and Patterson
street. The whole plan is perfectly feasible and
the expense nothing compared with the value of
the improvement to the town and surrounding
neighborhoOd. The estimate Of the engineer calls
for $3.50 cubic yards of excavation. This con-
tract Can be let at 20 cents per yard, making The
cost of the excavation 81 1868. l0l9 cubic yards
of stone work The stone work can be contracted
at 800 per yard which will amount to s4O74,
making the total expense Of the two principal
items, 81, ,44O The other items Of drainage balus'
trade around the mouth of the tunnel &C., will
be OF triaing expense, at the outside. Could that
amount OF money be expended in any way that
would do Alliance more good in direct way"

AN ATTEMPT TO BURN COLUMBUS.

An attempt was made Saturday night by some
persons unknown to burn Columbus,it 1t being fred
in five or six different places at once. The first
fire broke out in William Moneypenny's ware
house. resulting in total loss sggregating $780,
900; insured for about S920,O The second
building burned was a small frame stable on
Eighth street, causing loss of 5000, which ha I
been scarcely extnguished when third alarm
was rung, caused by the burning of a frame sta
BILE on Washington avenue, which was totally de.
stroyed: loss, $500 While the firemen were work.
ing on this fire an alarm was turned In again and
another stable two squares away, on franklin
avenue, was found to be in flames Two horses
and peddler's wagon that were in the stable
were consumed, making loss of about 81 200
Almost Immediately upon the extinguishing Of
flames, and could not be saved loss $780, Long
before sthis the people had become thoroughly
alarmed, and recognized an organized effort to
burn the city. Great excitement prevailed and
the streets were alive with thousands Of people
rushing from fire to fire. The Mayor was only
restrained from turning in the riot alarm by
strenuous efforts. General Nelly ordered the
Fourteenth Regiment to be In readiness to move
at a moments notice. The fifth fire was the last
however, and sooI after midnight the firemen
thoroughly worn out, were allowed to retire
Four persons we're arrested on a charge of incen-
diarism, but it is thought no strong evidence can
be brought against them.

NEW HOTEL AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

We received an invitation to be present at the
grand opening Of the Park Hotel, in Columbus,
on Tuesday. On the invitation is engraved pic
ture of the new house, wherein it is represented
as a sort of Aladdil's Palace. The streets around
1t are perfectly thronged with hacks, drags, omn.
buses drays, street cars, landaus, Coups, baIouch.
es, fourin' hands, buggies, wagons, dog carts, &c,
At the side there is beautiful park, with two
magnificent fountains playing in It, and the build.
ing has aags flying from every point Of vantage.
Back Of the hotel We discover a lofty range Of
delectable mountains, with a train Of cars climb
ing over the highest peak. 1t is very attractive
picture but the most attractive thing about 1t ALL
is the name Of Rush Il. Field as manager, who is
known all over the land as the King Of caterers,
and lord of landlords and prince of good fellows.
Success to the new hotel, in city where a good
hotel and good manager are SO much needed,
for 1t has them both now.

AGE, SIZE, AND BUSINESS OF LEADV1LLE


Leadville has become worldwide in Its fame
as the richest mining camp on the Globe, situated
on or near the summit of the Rocky Mountains,
In Lake county, Colorado, near the head waters
OF the Arkansas river, ann one hundred and for.
ty miles west of Denver. Two railroads are now
being constructed towards this colorado, which
expect to be completed by early fall, and another
Is surveyed and labor will commence in the
spring and be pushed forward as fast as capital
and labor can be used
In and around Laadville some 5000 teams are
being used to haul ore from the mines TO the pre-.
sent terminus of the South Park and Sante Fe
Railroads
A city of 49, 900 people has arisen as If by magic
within the last year, and 1t bids fair to be
doubled within the year to come.
Prospecting even in mid winter, is going
on until the mines already discovered are num-
bered by the hundreds among them some of IA
nous wealth and extent.
A number OF smelling furnaces are now in OPP
GRAFTON producing bullion, and others are In pro
cess of construction. 1t is estimated that from
fifteen to twenty million dollars will be produced
during the year to come, from the mines Of Lead
vile.
The amount of mineral that can be produced
from mines already opened is almost fabulous
1t Is reported that the average yield Of the ore al
ready treated exceeds $3.50 per ton.-Reg. and
