A FRANCO PRUssIAN DISPUTE yesterday
at dinner at the Ormsby House Frenchman
who was a transient guest, was observed by
one of the boarders eating out of the salad
dish, and Immediately handed spoon.
''Iz dis &c private deesh
Ono sir, it is a general dish, but we are not
accustomed here to allow people to eat from
it, You are supposed to take the salad on
your plate"
"My froient, listen to me, one leetls vile.
Do you suppose for re one smoment Eat re
Frenchman from Paree will be taught re table

81 don't care continental where You came
from. We don't allow any nationality on earth
to eat from a general salad dish. I'm Alderman,
myself, and if you came from there you would
know more about table manners than you
ever learned in Paris.
This brought down all within hearing, and
for while the boarders expected to see the
Franco Prussian war inaugurated once more,
but the meal passed off without bloodshed.

STOCKS.

The market Yesterday showed a general de-
moralization consistent only with theory that
the public are disguised with the present stag
nation in values. The demand for Comstock
securities was limited, but the prices of some
descriptions advanced, while those OF others
recesded. Belcher and Grown Point were
strong, but Union Con- was weak Sierra Ne
vads and Ophir were firm, while Mexican was
weak.
There was a small boom in Bevidere, of the
Bodies, which, under demand for the stock
in small lots, sold up to 2 20, closing at 60.
Metallic, of the Columbus stocks, was like
wise strong.
There was a bad break in the market ia the
second session. Ophir closed at lag, Mexican
at 123, Sierra Nevada at 209 and Union Con.
at 3o4. The favorite theory as to the cause OF
the decline is that heavy holders are willing
to see prices fall, in order to reduce the
amount of taxes which, it will oe remembered,
are, under the new Consultation, levied on the
market value of stocks on the first Monday In
March.

A RAILROAD LAND GRANT OPINION.

Washington, Feb. l6.-The attorney.
general has rendered an opinion upon the
question submitted BY the secretary Of the
interior touching the right Of land grant
falsroads to deviate in the construction Of
the road from the line Of route as definitely
adopted. The question arose in connection
with the grant to the atate of Iowa to aid IN
the construction of a railroad from Mc(ire.
xor westerly. The point of road between
Algona and Sheldon was built BY the Chi.
cago. Milwaukee and St. Paul company and
deyiate from the line of route az SURVEYED
by the McGregor and Missouri river com.
pany about five miles at one point. The
question as TO what effect the DETECTION
would have upon the grant was submitted
~ the secretary, and the attorney.g. neral
holds that in order to entitle The state to the
land granted, it ia necessary the road should
be constructed according to the line of def.
nite location. If q different road ia built
than that definitely located. it cannot en-
uue the state to the benefit of the lands
The question whether the road constructed
ls or is not the road as definitely located il
one for the interior department TO deter
mine, and which must be largely within the
discretion of the secretary. Some defpc-
cons must in many cases be expected, but
there must be substantial compliance with
the line of location. He also holds that
while the state had the right to fix the
points at which the road should be cor.
'tructed, it could not thereby affect the
rights Of the United States. The attorne y
general does not undertake to decide upon
the effect of construction 10 the particular
Gaze under consideration, but leaves the
determination Of that question to the secre-

Who Is Mrs. win.low:

As this question is frequently asked, We
will simply say that she is a lady who fol
upwards OF thirty years has untirlpgly de-
voted her time and talents as q female phy.

stitution and wants of this numerous class
and, as 9 result of this effort, and practical

els. In consequence of this article, Mrs.
Winslow is becoming w~orld.renowned as q
benefactor of her race; children certainly
do rise up and bless her; especially ia this
the case in this city. Vast quantities of
the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used
here. We think Mrs. Winslow has immor.
talized her name by this Invaluable article.
and we sincerely believe thousands OF chill.

TURNING THE TABLES.

An Illinois sheriff was n. ted for his acti-
witty in looking up unlicenaed p.ddlers.
Taking his walk abroad one dav be cam.
across an old fellow, whom he at once con-
cluded was an illegal trader, and inquired il
ne had anything to sell.
"Hev l got ANYTHING to sell, squire p
was the response. "Guess l hev goi black

Of Klumby, tew, only a dollar a bottle,

natur.'"
The sheriff bought a bottle Of balm Of
Columbia, and then desired to see the Yam
KEGS license for peddling. The document
was produced, examined, pronounced gen.
uine and handed back to it's original
owner.
Then said the disappointed official, 81
don't know that l care about this stuff !;
what will you give for it,"
"Waal," answered the peddler, II don't
want it squire ; but SEEM it's you I'll give
you thirty.seven cents for it,"
The sheriff passed him the bottle and
pocketed the money, when the peddler
said II say, I have suthin' to ask you
COW. Have you got the peddler's license
about you ?"
NO." said the sheriff, 81 haven't any

He Says This Great Big Government n,
Ours 10 Afraid Of theS Sioux Indians.
Washington, Feb. 16-The senate special
committee investigating the causes of thu
removal Of the Puncss took testimony this
morning from Bishop Hare Of the Episcopal
church, . missionary in charge Of the Pom.
cas- and other Indians. He testified that
from the time Of his first personal knowl-
edge of the Poncas in 1873 up 10 the date
OF their removal to the Indian territory they
we're in trouble on account of the failure in
their crops, BY reason Of drouth and grass
hoppers, and on account Of rains and depre.
dations at the hands Of the Sioux, they were
anxious to be removed from Dakota. He
had understood from high and reliable
sources that they gave their consent to, the
removal to the Indian territory, but when
the time came they opposed it. Negotia-
tons had been concluded and arrangement
made and he thought it essential that the
government proceed 10 their removal. It
vas essential in order to preserve the author.
ity Of the United States among all the In.
dian tribes of that region. The friends of
the Poncas, who had long been making
efforts for their welfare, to have them fed
and provide means for their protection. had
concluded that it would be best to remove
them. He thought SO himself. and in
view Of all the circumstances. although he
knew it would involve hardship for the
Poncas. be united with Inspector Ktmble
in . telegram advising the department to
stand firm in its determination to carry out
the Poncas' removal. He believed the
course of Inspector Kemble towards the
Poncas was Straightforward, honorable and
philanthropic. The Sioux, in making
these raide. upon the property of the Poscas
violated the regulations against leaving
their reservation, but they we're so formid-
able . tribe that the government was
afraid of them, and was not afraid of the
Poncas.
Senator Dawes-So it appears that the
government took the Poncas a~ay in
order to keep the Sioux from hurting
them.
Bishop Hare-Yes. it may be looked
1t in that way. You know the Indians
