Lord BEAcoNs1EnD has learned an

refused 10 auOW an O1nClal reporter 10
take down his Bridgewater House speech,
and, as he spoke extemporaneously, in
correct versions of it have found their
way into the press, and he is powerless
in his desire to correct them.
The son of Sitting Bull was recently
induced to sit for his photograph at Fort
Buford. The young buck was very sus-
picious that the camera was some kind
of an Internal machine, but finally con-
sented on condition that he might sit
with his revolver in his hand, and at the
first sign of danger shoot the artist.
The artist decided to take the chances,
and fine cabinet picture was the re-
suit.
TURKISH officers do not enjoy the con-
sideration at home enjoyed by their pro-
fession elsewhere in Europe. A Turk
ish Captain is regarded by his senior
officers with but little more respect than
private, and is sometimes struck by
Colonel or General in a moment Of anger.
Even a Major is barely secure from such
treatment. The pay Of an officer under
the rank of General is very inadequate
and irregularly received. The families
of officers in garrisoned towns are gen.
orally with them, and the latter are
often sorely pushed to feed their charges.
They may be seen daily with baskets,
returning from market, seedy and par
TALLY buttonless.
THERE was wild scene at Jersey
church the other Sunday. A sensational
preacher had given out that he would
talk on "The Lessons of the Narragan
sett slaughter" There was large con-
gregation, whom the preacher did his
best to delight with horrors. He got
along swimmingly until he cried
"There was never greater set OF
towards than the officers and crew of
the Narragansett proved themselves to
be on that terrible occasion" This
sentiment was too much for one of the
audience, who rose in his seat and
roared: "That is lie, and you are
LIAR" 1t was the Captain of the Nara
gansett who thus spoke, and for that
freedom of speech he was carried off to
a police station, while the reckless
parson prayed for him.
MAJ. STROLLER and Capt Brown, of
Richmond, Va, had quarrel over a
business matter. The "Majah" sent
the Captain a challenge, which was &C.
cepted. On arriving at the dueling
ground, Strother's courage seemed to
have failed him, for he then claimed that
he had no pistol. His second went after
a gun, and finally objected to an ex-
change of shots, for the reason that
Browns weapon was larger than Stroth-
er's. Brown charged Strother with
back-down. Words resulted in blows,
and after a time principals and seconds
were engaged in rough-and-turnble
fight. During the mill revolver
dropped from Strother's pocket, and
the very natural opinion in the Old
Dominion now is that he is coward.
MORE emigrants viii land in this
country during the current year than in
any former year in our history, and the
management of the business has been
reduced almost to q science. The rail
road and steamship lines have now so
systematized emigration that German
wishing to come to America can, before
leaving home, buy his land and be de
livered at the nearest railroad station to
it without delay or hazard, the deeds for
the land and the passenger certificates
being alike issued by special agents Of
the roads owning Government land
grants. In the case of the Northern
Pacific road, the body Of wheat lands,
in Dakota alone, granted to the road ex
ceeds in area the whole Of Great Britain
and Ireland now cultivated. And these
fertile wheat lands Of the far West
are now the destination Of German,
Swede, Norwegian, Dane, Scotch and
English. A very large population is
moving On to the wheat lands Of North
ern Minnesota and the Canadian Prov
ince Of Manitoba This is the famous
valley of the Red river Of the North.
Tt is easily reached by rail from ST. Paul
or Duluth. But the lands here arc
largely held by spectators great tracts
Of $4,000 to 10000 acres having been
bought up at less than so cents an acre.
The Government lands, adjacent to rail-
road lands, and subject to entry, are
held at $3.50 an acre, or twice the price
Of ordinary Government land. But this
is cheap compared with land anywhere
else under the sun. A single crop will
pay the cost Of land, labor, and all other
expenses. What can an emigrant ask
more? When the absolute ownership
Of his home here only costs the emigrant
q sum equal to single years rent in
Europe, is it any wonder steamships are
