RESTORING FORFEITED LANDS.

1t is gratifying to learn from Secretary
Kirkwood's letter, recently sent to the
Senate, that no patents have been issued
as vet for lands in connection with the
work done on the Northern Pacific Rail-
way and accepted by the Government
during the years 1880 and 1881, and
since the issuing, to quote the expr essive
words OF Commissioner Mcfarland, OF the
s'order of instructions Of his predeces-
sor, the Honorable Carl Schurz, over
ruling the decision of the Commissioner
of the General Land Office, and restor-
ing the grant of lands to the Northern
Pacific Railroad without reference Of the
subject to the consideration OF Congress.
The language quoted is the deliberate
emphasis of a public officer justly indig-
PANT at the disgrace brought upon n of
the departments, who took it upon HIM
self. obviously for a fee or reward, to
"REsToEE" to a delinquent corporation
lands justly forfeited by that corpora
ton, without reference OF the subject
to the consideration Of Congress"

HOW THE PRESIDENT SPENDS
HIS TIME.

A few pages from the diary Of Presi-
dent Arthur would have the value OF the
diaries Of Pepys and Evelyn a hundred
wears hence as to how a nineteenth GEN.
fury President spends his time.
At four in the morning a delegation
comes from Barney" Biglin, Jimmy"
Davis and Johnny" O'Brien as to the
gaslighters in the Custom-house. At
seven come the Pompey Republican In
vinciblss and African True Blues from
C~@sarville, Ca, to present the claims Of
Hannibal Scipio Washington for the
Office of Marshal, on the ground that he
carried the banner in the party process
sions, while his opponent only carried
the bucket Of ice water. At ten come
the Republican associations Of Baltimore
to talk office. These are followed by
delegations from Philadelphia, who
startle our amiable President with stories
OF Philadelphia's agony over the customs
places. Then comes III Ohio Ooh8fess-
men with a deputation of editors. who
read him leading articles from their own
pens ~ to who should be Postmaster at
Cincinnati.
This at least is the way a casual reader
would suppose that the President spends
his time, if we read Alright the dis
patches from Washington. 1t is a dreary,
CHASTITY business. 1t almost killed Car
field, who was run to death like the
Bishop in his Mouse-Towe on the Rhine,
by the ofice -holding vermin. Can Presi-
dent Arthur stand it? Have we not
enough of the friends Of good govern
ment In Washington to relieve him?

4 -COMMENDARLE ACT.

President Arthur declines to pardon
the paying teller Of an Eastern bank,
who, having been sent to prison for steal
ing the funds Of his employers, now seeks
his liberty. Persons guilty Of crimes
like these should meet with a cold re-
ception when they ask for mercy. The
President shows a due appreciation of
the pardoning power when he declines
to use it for thieving bank officers.

In Magistrate Comings court yester-
day forenoon Herman Sticher was held to
bail in the sum Of five hundred dollars to
answer to the charge of stealing $4,000
from Mr.. Louis Koehler, Sr. Failing to
give bail he was sent to Jail to await trial
by the circuit court at its MAY term
Young Stcher was rooming with the
Koehler boys, up stairs in building In the
same yard with the sausage factory. Mr..
Louis Koehleri had hidden the money in
an old trunk standing in the room occu-
pied by the boys, believingitto be entirely
safe there. A day or two ago MIR. Koehler
saught the money, intending to use it, but
discovered that it was not in the trunk, and
could nowhere be found. Inquiry lead to
suspicion against young Sticher and he
was arrested yesterday and examined as
stated. The evidence produced lentirely
justified the judgment of the court the
accused having no explanation whatever to
make; lie is confirmed invalid, having
but recently returned from Union City
where he had been under treatment for
sore eyes, and being otherwise afflicted
which renders him virtually q helpless
cripple 1t is believed by his relatives

and that, if he is really guilty as charged,

whom is an aged mother, it is 10 be hoped
that he will be proven innocent Of the grave
crime charged against him.

who said that he had seen the man about

The White House DOGS.

When Rutherford b. Hayes acted as
President strange lean, Ianky, grey
dog stood vigil at the White House
grounds, At all hours of the day and
night, throughout his term, and defed
all efforts to drive him away. Much has
been written about the yellow terrier
that seemed to hover arounda Pres ident
Garfeld's fortunes. Tais animal came
first into notice by following the Presi,
dents carriage down the avenue at the
time of his Inauguration and refusing
to be driven out Of the line. 1t after
wards made its home In the White
House grounds sleeping at night under
peculiar tree with heavy foliage near
the northeast entrance. 1t became a
familiar object to the regular atten
dauts, and was always known as Gar
fields dog. When the President was
shot the animal disappeared and when
next heard of, according to CERTAIN in
formation, was suffering from wound
inflicted by a stray shot fred by the
assassin Guiteau. He, too, like his pre-
decessor, has now disappeared alto
gether, and his place is occupied by a
large brlndled dog,o mongrel species,
which has taken up his home in clump
of shrubbery directly in front Of the
White House door. He was never no.
ticed in the neighborhood before Presi.
dent Arthur's Inauguration, and has
not missed . single day since that
date.

New Jersey Church Sens alton.

Millville, N. j., is excited over a
church sensation in which figure a
pastor, pretty widow and a male
chsir singer. Three years ago Rev. B.
M. Braden, young man, became
pastor of the Christ P. Il. church at
that place. Mrs. Kate Wells, charm
irg young widow, was the organist of
the church and her accepted lover was
Henry Vanetta, one Of the choir sing
ers. Upon the arrival of the new
pastor Mrs. Wells dropped Vanetta and
began making violent love to the young
minister. This aroused Vanetta' .
jealousy and he began to make it un-
pleasant for his rival. 1t is reported
that Mrs. Wells wen, 30 far as to throw
her arms around her pastors neck and
ask him to marry her. When he re-
fused the love of the widow turned to a
bitter hatred. She took Vanetta back
to her heart and the pair then opened
vigorous war on the pastor. Last week
Vanetta wrote an open letter to the
minister, and before sending it to him
read and exhibited it to a number of
citizens. The letter covered four pages
of foolscap, and those who read it say it
Is one of the most scathing, bitter and
vulgar documents they ever saw. On
Saturday Vanetta was arrested on
charge of slander, and on the same day
tho minister resigned to take charge of
a school in Newark.
