OF the late ex-Congressman ARENAS
Hale, the Boston Traveller says: He
was always regular and temperate in his
habits, and total abstainer from intox-
icating liquors and tobacco, and enjoyed
a remarkable degree of health during
his whole life. He was accustomed to
drive out alone till recently, and within
a few years has been seen wheeling bag
of meal from the store to his residence,
disdaining the lazy ways OF younger men.
With the exception of his hearing, he
retained full possession of his faculties,
physical and mental, and his address to
his lodge on his 95th birthday is spoken
of as one of the finest ever delivered be-
fore Masonic body. His only living
direct descendant is a granddaughter,
who lived with him. His only son was
killed in his own sight, by runaway ac-
cident, several years ago. Early the
present season he suffered from severe
attack of iysentery, the first illness of
his long life, and, although recovering
from the attack, never regained his
former strength, and at last passed
quietly away without apparent pain,
dying from old age alone.

bacco has been forbidden to the students
in the Naval Academy at Annapolis,
and the Military Academy at West Point,
after careful investigation concerning
the physiological effects OF the habit
The best medical advice was sought, and
upon it the regulations were issued.
The report of the Surgeon General In
1869 strongly advised this action as
"unquestionably the most important
matter in the health history of the stu
dents of West Point" The principal OF
Phillips Academy at Exeter, N. e.. has
issued circular to the parents Of his
students, stating that the subject had
claimed much attention In England,
France, Germany and America, that he
found physicians unanimous in condemn
ing the use of tobacco by boys, and ask
ing whether they would consider the
prohibition of tobacco reasonable and
practicable. A majority of the parents
have replied and are, as might be ex-
pected, unanimous in the desire that
their sons may abstain. There certainly
can be no two opinions about the unwis-
dom of allowing growing boys to smoke.

prior to the establishment of said reser- vation. Neither Spain nor Mexico ever made grants of lands to tribes of h. dians, and the testimony shows that for over thirty years no individual Indian ever disputed the title of the Martinez family. Custom and justice, and the action of the legislative and judicial branches of our government, all favor the confirmation of the land in question in accordance with the prayer of the petition; but inasmuch as no mention is made of the house lot in the village, in any of the several proceedings which constitute the original title in this case, lean not properly recommend its con firmation. notwithstanding the Martinez family are entitled to it under the law of prescription.
 The testimony in this case appears to be worthy Of full credit, and shows that the original grantee and his heirs have always sefully occupied all the land within ths boundaries described in the petition, nd as the grant was not made for the o's 5it of the public treas- ury but for that of the family of Marti- neg and the community in which they lived, it ought to be treated as a grant within and to the landmarks named in the title papers, instead of one of the  exact quantity stated therein.
 therefore recommend the cOntirma- ton of the grant as described in the title papers, to Nicolas Martinez and the other heirs of Jose Maria Martinez, the original grantee. JOHN WAsSoN,
