The Marquis's Shot.

[English Cor. San Francisco Argonaut.l
There is a good story told of the Mar
quis of Waterford lord Charles Beres-
ford's uncle) and the way he served a
young fellow whose indifference to the
lives and limbs of other people when out
shooting with them had gained for him
somewhat of a reputation. The young
man, though he ought to have been de-
prived of his gun license by special act
of Parliament, was the son of a duke Of
such high standing in the political
world that nobody ventured more than
a mild remonstrance with him for his
carelessness, and while few cared to
join a shooting party Of which he made
one, his position got him invited where
men of more caution but less blood
would have been excluded. It SO hap
pened that one October both the Marquis
and Lord Joceline Clinton-the young
man in question-found themselves stay

removal, as he held him principally res
ponsible for the great frauds which he

nation had been demanded, his news

| Lord Orford's place in Norfolk. There
was a large party staying at the house,
| and more than one fortuitous escape
| from Lord Joceline's reckless gun was
the nightly topic over brandy and soda
| and birdseye in the smoking-room. Sew
| eral of the men had already been grazed
on one OR two occasions by shots fired at
close quarters, and one who had been his
nearest neighbor one morning had one
of his whiskers and eyebrows singed off
by a flash from a muzzle heedlessly
placed within an inch of his cheek.
Lord Joceline paid small heed to the re-
marks he heard, and laughingly treated
all that was. said as a joke. But Lord
Waterford smoked his pipe in silence,
only joining in the talk so far as to con-
ide to a friend who sat near his deter
mination to put an end to the young
mans exploits should it come in his way
to do SO. It is said that Lold Joceline
overheard the remark, but said nothing.
At all events, next day the party
went out as usual, and as chance would
have it, when shooting an outlying
cover, Lord Waterford and Lord Joce-
line stood about ten feet apart. In the
midst Of an exciting battue a rabbit
darted out ofthe bushes and ran between
the two. Lord Joceline, ~disregarding
all orders to the contrary, leveled and
fired att. The rabbit got safely away,
but about a dozen of the shots intended
for it lodged in Lord Waterferd's legs.
His back happened to be turned at the
moment, but wheeling round without a
sign of pain ere the reverberation of the
discharge had died away, he called out,
in a loud tone: "Whoever fired that
last shot, hold up his hand!" Lord
Joceline, in the bravado of the moment,
held up his hand with a laugh. Hardly
had he done SO when Lord Waterford
raised his gun and let him have the con-
tents Of one barrel in his palm. Fortu-
nstely it was a defective cartridge, from
| which much of the shot had fallen, else
it would have been a bad day for Lord
Joceline. AS it was, he carried away
enough leaden pellets among his finger
joints to make a sadder and a wiser man
of him, anG cure him effectively of the
popularity that had made him a terror
in the shooting field. No one after that
had cause. of complaint against him.

The Big n. P. Land Sale.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27.-The great
sale of lands by the Northern Pacific
railroad company is fully confirmed by
officials OF the company. Under the
agreement, the purchasers are to take
three million acres Of land, east Of the
Missouri river, and pay for it in pre-
ferred stock at par. The price Of the
land is four dollars per acre, so that, on
completion Of the contract, S12, 600, 900 of
the preferred stock will be retired. The
whole amount Of land owned by the
North Pacific railroad company, east of
the Missouri river, is $3.50, 900 acres,
and the purchasing syndicate have the
right to select the land for them. The
syndicate is composed of Barring Broth
ers, Of London; Lee, Higginson & Co.,
of Boston; and others Of Boston, New
York and London. The Earrings are
at the head Of this great scheme, and
their great wealth and influence will
make it a success. The syndicate will
colonized the lands with carefully Sc
lected English settlers as soon as possible
and, if the scheme meets with the sue
cess its projectors expect, the population
Of Minnesota aod Dakota will re largely
increased, in the next four years, from
these emigrants alone. The original
amount Of the preferred stock was $751;
100000. Of this nearly ST, 600, 600 has

Of lands, or are in the treasury of the
company. This will leave outstanding,
when the So, 900, 900, presented by the
syndicate is retired, between S28, 600, 900
and 500, 900, 900 Of preferred stock. The
syndicate has the privilege of holding
the stock until December 9th, when they
will be entitled to a dividend Of eleven
per cent, which has already been de
clared on the stock and which is payable
on that date. If the stock can then be
sold at the present rate, which is
thought possible in view of the retire
ment Of SO large an amount the land will
thus really cost them about $500 an
acre in cash. This transaction is one of
the largest that v took place in this
or any other country, and it mnst prove
a great advantage to the SNorth Pacific,
not only in realizing more than me
fourth of the price paid of the preferred
stock, but in bringing to the country
through which the road passes a large
population in the near future.

Only COPIED Mac Veagh.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The factthat
Attorney General Brewster's letter to the
president demanding the dismissal of
the star route defenders in public office
is a repetition Of a letter Attorney Cen
eral MacVeagh to the president before
retiring from the cabinet, has caused a
good deal ofcomment here to-day. About
a year ago the statement was made in
these dispatches that Attorney General
Mac Veagh had warranted any lack of
courteous treatment by the president by
an offensive letter stating that the adj
ministration was surrounded by star
route thieves and their defenders, and
that there would be no v~indication of
justice in the star route prosecution, UNI
til the president made the case of the
prosecution his case, and compelled his
subordinates to aid, rather than to OBJ
struct justice. The announcement of
such a letter vas made in leading news
papers IN the west, and its plain state
ment of truth was given out as an insult
to the president. The comment is made
now that Attorney General Brewster
writes the same thing to the president,
and his letter is not only excused but
commended in the highest manner bv
the prompt removal of every public Off
Ger accused Of obstructing justice. It is
further asserted that had Arthur then
obeyed Mac Veagh and James as he now
obeys Brewster and Bliss, Mac Veagh
would have remained to prosecute the
star route cases and the thieves would
have been in prison instead Of defying
the law and prostituting justice in its
! cause.

ANOTHER exploring vessel, the Dam
ish ship Dymphra, has been lost, and it
is proposed to organize an expedition to
search for her. Will the cine ever come
when foolish men will cease to take
their lives in their own hands in seeking
for a passage which will be utterly
worthless to the human race when
found? IF the same toll and money
were expended in opening up the great
of the northwest it would add
almost as much fame to those participant
ing, and result in some permanent good
to the country.

The letter of ex-attorney general Mac
Veagh, spoken of in a dispatch from
Washington, is published at length in
the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and makes
it appear that the late President Garfield
was the original instigator of and prime
mover in the prosecution of the star
route thieves. The following is q por-
ton of the letter bearing on Garfield's
connection with the case:
As / have already told you; / knew
comparatively nothing about the star
route frauds until President Garfield
called my attention to them. He spoke
very earnestly of his duty to have them
thoroughly Investigated, to remove all
persons who ought to have prevented
them, and see that all persons were pros
ecuted against whom reasonable ground
for such course was developed by inves-
tigation. He said he had explained to
the postmaster general the same views,
and also why he wished him to consult
me rather than the district attorney of
the district. The postmaster general
called upon me and we went together to
the president. He was quite as emphatic
as before in the expression of his W
opinion upon the subject. He spoke OF
the frauds and unparalleled V~iliainies as
q loathsome ulcer on the body polite;
needing to be cut out with all its roots,
no matter where they extended. He
said he intended to remove Gen. Brady
as 500 as the postmaster general could
find a satisfactory successor. AT q sub

they do deny his right to assign as the

their part damaging and injurious to
them as public officials and honorable
men, without giving them a chance to
be heard. They say they yield their of
