A statement of the disposal of public lands
during the fiscal year ended June 80, 1882, has
bnen prepared at the General Land Office,
and shows that the total number of acres dis
posed of was 15,699,s40, an increase over last
year of about 100000 acres. The cash re-
ceived for this land amounts, in the aggre-
gate, to about $S,361, 091, as against about
$5,OOO,OOO during the last fiscal year. The
great increase in the disposition Of public

Death Of a Female Bandit.

Nellie Pickett, the most noted female
character ever in New Mexico, died on
Tuesday last at Fort Sumner, aged "a.
She was born in Lafayette county,
Missouri. When she was healthy,
vivacious and pretty she married Tom
Pickett, and moved with him to Texas,
lived there "a year, and then came to
New Mexico. At the time of the Lin
coin county war in 1880, Pickett be.
came a member of the band of Billy the
Kid, and after the war Nellie joined
him, and herself became member of
the gang of bandits. She was fear.
less horsewoman, crack shot, beauti-
full and with great strength of mind.
She ruled the band with despotic sway.
Pickett was killed in fight with the
officers, when Nellie became the mis-
tress of the first lieutenant, Charles
Bowdry. Dressed in male or female at
tire, as best suited her purpose, she
acted as spy for the gang, carrying
messages from one rendezvous to an
other. When in male attire she al
ways rode in buckskin suit, astrideI
horse Bowdry was killed in the
fight with Sheriff. Garrett and posse.
She was as true to him as his own wife,
and found the body after the fight and
buried it. Billy the Kid succeeded
finally in winning her affections. Last
year, while heavy price was on his
head. he visited her at Fort Sumner.
While there Garrett ascertained the
facts, entrapped and killed him.

Buried Cities In Greece.

DIR. Schliemann is carrying on new
excavations at Hissarlik, with the as
sistance of two eminent German archi-
tects. No fewer than one hundred and
fifty workmen are daily employed in
laying bare the foundation of the an :
cient cities. Two perfectly distinct
cities have lately been discovered in the
burnt stratum. the lower one resting
on the large walls which have hitherto
by mistake been attributed to the Sec
ond city. Hissarlik now turns out to
have been the Acropolis of this lower
burnt city, this being proved by the
walls and the pottery, as we'll as by two
vast brick buildings, enc of them forty
three feet broad by one hundred feet
long, the other twenty-three feet broad
by less than one hundred feet long.
These buildings seem to have been
temples, separate gateway, fanked by
enormous towers, leading up to them.
There are, besides, three or four large
buildings, apparently dwelling houses,
but no smaller buildings. The city
walls now stand out very imposing.
They rest on substructure of large
blocks, thirty-three feet high, after
wards superseded by great brick walls.
All the treasures formerly found by
DIR. Schliemann are now ascribed to the
first burnt city. DR.. Schliemann has
found in the temples copper nails of a
very peculiar shape, weighing from
1000 to 1,190 grammes. The second
burnt city, being the third city from the
rock, and hitherto identified with the
Homeric Troy, turns out to have had
but very small houses and no lower
town at all. DR.. Schliemann will con-
tinue his excavations till the beginning
of August.

A Stingy Landlord.

"Well, yes," said the colonel, gazing
meditatively in the fire, stake him all
in all, Dick Crawford was about the
cleverest fellow I ever knew. Forty
years ego, when Dick and I were young
fellows, practicing law on this side the
mountains, things had different look
altog ether than they bear nowadays.
The men rode, hunted, fought, and
made love harder than they seem to do
now, and there was more fire and energy
about them. We used to ride forty or
fifty miles to attend court, and after
business was over meet in one of the
old taverns for jovial supper. The
only tavern at Greenbrier Court House
was Kept by man named Gill, pala-
vering knave, as stingy as the dickens.
He had monopoly, and so he used to
scrimp his meals. The food was gener.
ally good, but never enough of it. He
knew this was the only tavern for miles.
Dick Crawford was big, strong fellow.
who liked his three square meals day,
and many time he swore he'd get even
with old Gill for half starving him. One
day large crowd was assembled at
Greenbrier Court. There was murder
trial going on, and the whole county
turned out in consequence. At dinner
time we all went across the green to The
tavern, and as usual found old Gill pre-
siding with smiling countenance over
table with very little on it save the
dishes. Crawford surveyed the festive
board with fire.fashing eye. "Ask a
blessing, Crawford" called out one of
the young men at the far end of the
table. Quick as thought Crawford
glanced around to see that everybody
was attending, then bent his head,
folded his hands, and said, in a loud,
distinct voice:
ooh, Thou, who gave the loaves and fishes,
Look down upon these empty dishes;
May'st Thou these empty dishes fill,
Bless all of us, and d old Gill;"
The roar of laughter that followed
shook the house, and ellis face was a
study. bs2.tta lt

Catching a Crab.

They tell a story of would-be funny
San Franbisco broker, who last season
adopted a most fiendish method of get.
ting even with. one of the chronic firts
who are said to make the piazzas lively.
He obtained half-a-dozen energetic
crabs from the fishing beach, and,
watching for an opportunity when no
one was in particular tank except the
inconsistent fair object Of his venge-
ance, he dropped in the crustaceans
(way up term for crabs). The young
lady continued her natatorial exercises
few minutes longer, when she sudden
ly uttered blood curdling shrek, and
was helped up the ladder with crab
hanging on her pink little, toe. She
had several consecutive epileptic fits
while the marine corn doctor was being
removed. The Mephistophelian glee
of the broker, however, gave him away,
and, for fear of some countertrick, he
decided to bathe early in the morning
thereafter. A few days after that the
bath-h house keeper was startled by some
terrific yells, and, hastily entering the
tank house, he beheld the broker houn
dering out with big, jagged-tooth,
spring rat-trap clenched on his heel.
"Whc put this horrible thing in the
water?" roared the broker.
81 did, sir" sweetly replied the crab
bed young lady afore. mentioned, step
ping out of bathroom. II put it
there to catch those horrid crabs, you
know.
Tho broker went home on a crtcuh.
