A Washington dispatch says that one
of the last official acts of Mr. Blaine as
Secretary of State was to ask the Russian
Government to recall Mr.. Michael Barth-
olomel, the Russian Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary at Wash
ington. The Russian Government has
made favorable response to this request,
and Mr.. Bartholomel will leave for St.
Petersburg the 10th of January, leaving
Mr.. Gregore de Willamor, Secretary of
the Legation, in charge. The reason Civ
en- for the Russian Minister'S recall is
said to be the same that caused the recall
of former Russian Minister, Catacazy,
while Hamilton Fish WAS Secretary of
State Bartholomel has lived a scanda-
lous life while in this country, and be-
sides has contracted 8 large number of
personal debts, which he has dishcnor-
ably refused to pay.

LANDGRABBING.

Ten million acres of the public lands
passed during the last fiscal year from
the control of the Government into the
control the Government from the hands
of corporations and individual settlers In
addition nearly eight hundred Thousand
acres ofwhat are called Indian lands were
sold, and the amount realized-a little
over a million dollars-was deposited in
the Treasury for the benefit Of the Indians.
The striking point in these figures is that
only about five million acres are set down
to the credit of ''hom estead entries" in
other words, only half the area disposed
of was taken up the way contemplated
by the homestead act The greater part
of the balance was disposed of under
various statutes which will enable its
owners to hold it in blocks without, as
rule, actual settlement An immense
slice went, of course, to the railroad cor
porations The Pacific railroads alone
put away more than two hundred thou
sand acres. The majority of people have
very shadowing ideas in regard to the
extent of an acre, to say nothing of ten
million times that quantity. Ten million
acres would form a territory twice as
large as Massachusetts and one third
that of New York. The laws under
which land is given away on this whole
sale scale connot be too strict, and
revision of the present cumbrous and in
tricate legislation on the subject would
not be useless or profitless task for a
congressional committee.

A WRONG IDEA.-Many persons have
gotten the wrong idea that hops are
strengthening, have taken to drinking
beer and ale very freely. The conse-
auence is they feel better for short time
but when the reaction comes they are
much weaker than before Reader, if
you value life, lay aside all malt and al
coholic beverages and put your trust in
that temperance preparation of iron and
vegetable tonics called Browns Iron Bit
tiers. 1t gives real health and strength
to every part of the body, refreshes the
mind, and restores the nervous system to
its proper standard. Over 1000, 900 bot
ties have been sold last year.

THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR.

Great Britain possession of the rock of
Gibraltar is relic of a by gone age. 1t
has for many generations been monument
of the least agreeable side of European
politics. Gibraltar is Oy position Span
ish fortress, and its name is a synonym
for impregnability. Why, then, should
1t be occupied by foreign power? On
no theory of fair play can the fact be ac-
counted for, but not till recently has a
British love of justice seen anything i'm
proper in it. Agitation for the recovery
of the fortress is now in progress in Spain,
and the English radicals to considera-
BILE extent sympathize with it. Senti-
mentalism, however, is not alone at the
bottom of the talk of surrender. Modern
modes of warfare are such that Gibraltar
is not indispensable to British glory. Its
harbor is poor and is commanded by the
guns of other forts. No force could take
Gibraltar, it is admitted, but that does
not increase its importance to England,
for at this day rendezvous for the Med
iteranean feet of iron-clads is gilmore i'm
portance than land fort not connected
with good anchorage around for vessels OF
the class which compose the British ma
w. There is a harbor on the African
coast suitable to receive the largest feet
of the largest men-of-war, well-guarded
by Notifications, and accessible to sup
plies from land. The changes in fifty
wears in the art of war would make this
port more than an equivalent for Gibral-
tar. 1t is not strange that the moving
spirit of Spanish nationality calls for the
recovery of the historic fortress.

The Rome correspondent of New York
Commercial Advertiser says that the visit
of Miss Blaine, the daughter of Hon.
James G. Blaine, to Europe is creating a
great sensation in Italy because she is
unaccompanied by any responsible person
of her own family She is looked upon
as belonging to American nobility, SO to
speak, and hence her independence is the
more noticed and commented upon. An
Italian woman who is unmarried cannot
cross the street to buy yard Of ribbon

THOSE who are disposed to look upon
the appointment of ex-senator Howe as
Postmaster General somewhat unfavor-
ably, because if smacks too much of | bird
termism aud is a rebuff to the Garfield
sentiment, must see the inconsistency of
their position when they consider that
President Garfield at the very outset OF
his administration recognized Senator
Howe in very prominent manner by
nominating him one of the three commits
sioners from the United States to tie
Monetary Congress.
