THE BACKBONE GRANT.
The Rights Of Settlers Seriously
Compromises If 1T IN Granted.
Special to the Times Democrat


Washington, Dec. Alt appears
that there will be some trouble be-
fore the rights of persons who have
settled on land included within the
limits of grant to the Backbone Rail
road are finally determined. The
matter is somewhat complicated by
the fact that the parties to whom the
grant was transferred as coll ateral
security for the construction of the
road have applied to the Interior De
partment for patent covering the
grant. Ifthey should succeed in this
application settlers on the, grant will
not be protected in the rights they
have nominally acquired, or they
may have to resort to the courts to
decide what title they have to the
lands they now occupy.
The grant to the Backbone Road
has lapsed, according to the terms of
the act, but the Secretary Of the In
terror holds that in this case the grant
subsists, because the conditions upon
which it was made, except as to the
time Of competition, have been COM
piled with, and no forfeiture has
ever been declared.
This morning Robertson, Ellis and
Blanchard held a consultation about
the best method Of proceeding in or
der to protect the rights OF settlers
and at the same time avoid interior
ence with the transfer of the grants to
Wheelock. After a pretty full inter
change Of views it was agreed to adj
wise with WheelOck as to what he
was willing TO do to accomplish the
end that they have in view.
Later in the day Messrs. Robert
son and Blanchard called on the Sec
rotary Of the Interior, and learned
that the application for q patent
above mentioned was pending before
the Secretary, and that he was about
to decide it. Speaking of the set
tiers in the granted lands, the Secre-
tary said that they were only squat
ters, and he did not appear to regard
that they had any rights involved.
At first he demurred to the Congress-
mems request for delay, but finally
consented to delay for a few days un-
til they could file a statement, they
having been taken by surprise by the
for a patent. VIM. H.
Barnum, Of Connecticut, who lett
here this afternoon, represents the
parties applying for and urging that
this patent be issued.
Blanchard and Robertson will at
once prepare statement covering
the whole case, to be submitted to Sec
rotary Kirkwood. This matter invol-
YES the interest Of a great many per-
sops in Robertson's district and many
more in Rlanchard's.

THE CHARM OF BUSINESS.


He indicated CHAIR with his hand
and indicated his objection to formal
interviews. Then he said that bust
ness had o charm for him that extern
ded to nothing else. Even in his
boyhood days, up in Washington
county he liked to barter.
He saw the Washington County
Railroad building aud worked as a
surveyors assistant upon it. He
thought he would like TO own it, and
finally did control it. But it was too
narrow q scope for his ambition. Be-
sides that, the geography of the
United States would never allow a
north and south railroad TO become
as great as those which run east and
west, the star of empire goes that
way-a smile of self-appreeiation for
apt reference probably goes around
the mouth and causes the ends of the
black whispers to tremble a little.

A Comet story.

Chittenden, the Brooklyn millionaire,
could tell good comet story. He had
q dry-goods store at Hartford and was
Millerite. When the comet came he
imagined that the end of the world was
coming, too, and so he opened his store
and gave his goods away to any
body who would walk in and
take them, He smiled serenely
as lady walked off with a
piece of lace, and cried, 80 vanityin
when another lady selected roll of silk
velvet. He noticed that his free GUS
toners chose the most expensive articles,
but having no use for them in the next
world, he laughed and let them 90.
The appointed day came, but not the
end of the world, and Chittenden found
himself with stock reduced to a few
cheap calicoes, and the whole world
grinning at him, This was more than
he could stand, so he gave away the
oalicoes also and fed to New York.

Purehasable Health.
From sunbeam for August.

-
1t is often said, when rich man dies,
that all the mouey ia the world cannot
purchase the prolongation of life. 1t is
often. said, too, when a rich mans
health breaks down, that money will
not purchase health. AS general pro-
positions, however, ,both.thes statements
are unsound. When expended at the
right time and in the right way, monev
will purchase health and the prolong-
alton of life. Money will not purchase
purchas peaches when they are in the
market. Money will not purchase
health out of season, but health is to be
had for money under the proper con-
ditions. When a machine is actually
worn-out, it is beyond the reach of re-
pairs. Nothing will do but complete
renewal. So, when man is worn-out,
money will not renew him, but there
are always times in his life when, by
the proper expenditure of money and of
time which is it's equivalent. he can buy
health and the prolongation oflife.
There are thousands of men in New
York City, and in every great city, who
are perfectly aware that they are bank
rupting themselves in health-that they
are selling their herlth for money. The
time will come, at last, when they will
be willing to pay all this money back
for the health they have parted with,
but it viii be too late. The object of this
article is to induce these men, if posi-
BILE, to buy health while it is in the
market, and not to sell it under any
consideration. Col. Thomas Scott car
ried the burden so long that four mil
lions he had won had no power. to
bring back the health he parted with /;
but there are undoubtedly times in his
life when, by proper expenditure OF
money and of time, he could have
bought health enough to last him q
brace of decades longer, and to enable
him to double the number of his mil
lions for his heirs. A man crowds his
powers through a series of years of ex-
cessive labor, and, some day, he drops
with paralysis, and from that day for
ward he becomes a powerless child, to
be led kindly and carefully to the grave.
The increase of this disease is undoubt-
edly the result of the increase of un-
wisely conducted labor. Money can do
nothing for it when it befalls a man,
but it can do everything to prevent it.
