WINGED that Nevada still ranks as the
banner State of the Union, and all that
is necessary is that capital should be in
troduced to open up her great mineral
wealth and again place her in the front
rank. As the Nevada exhibit was en-
tirely private enterprise, l endeavored
to keep the expenses as low as possible,
therefore our surroundings were not as
guady as many others, who built expen-
sive pagodas and covered their platforms
with Brussels carpet. Many of the min
ing counties of Colorado appropriated
several thousands of dollars for surround.
ings. Of course l could not compete with
those exhibits as to accessories, but when
the minerals were examined as to variety
and richness Nevada showed far ahead
of any of them.

STATE LANDS.

The State OF Nevada las nearly 1000,
600 acres OF land for sale. These lands,
says the Controller, which consist of tim
Der, agricultural and grazing, can be
selected in any part of the State by any
person desiring to purchase. A person
can purchase from 40 to $40 acres. The
State has no mineral lands; these are re-
served by the United States Government.
Agricultural and grazing lands are sold
at Sl.25 per acre. The purchaser can
pay cash down, or he can purchase by
contract, by paying % cents per acre at
the time of application, and the balance
in nine equal annual installments, with
interest at the rate of 10 per cent. per
annum this rate OF interest will probably
be reduced). The purchaser can make
full payment at any time within ten years
and get his patent. Timber lands are
graded by the State Board of Regents
Two classes have been established: The
first class, consisting of lands producing
saw timber, or those covered with thick
growth of timber suitable for wood, are
sold for $3.50 per acre. The second
class, consisting of lands less heavily
timbered, are sold for $l.25 per acre.
Timber lands are sold for cash only; full
payment to be made at the time of APP.

PITTsDURG, Feb. DIR Julius SEWN,
practitioner of Erie, Pa, for half a cen
fury, and at onetme Fries leading physi-
clan, brings charges againgt the manage
ment of the Diemont Insane Asylum,
near this city. The Doctor went crazy
nine years ago, and was incarcerated at
Diemont. He asserts that after two
years he became perfectly sane, and not
withstanding the management knew this
they kept him for seven years after, and
he has just been released. DR.. Sewn
says that while he was there he saw an
old German named Thumur kicked to
death by keeper, and the doctors re-
ported his death as the result of epilepsy.
A man named Constant Menista, an ac-
complished scholar and perfectly sane, is
a prisoner of his wife's paramour, who
regularly pays for her husbands support
at the Asylum. DR.. SEWN asserts that
there are over 60 sane patients there to-
day. The Diemont management denies
the story, and asserts that the Doctor
was out of his mind all the time he was
incarcerated. The people of Erie believe
DR.. Sevin's story.

Congressman Knott, Of Kentucky, is
opposed to having any canal at all across
the Isthmus of Panama, and his reasons
are certainly original. He says: sis
not the Isthmus the very best protection
that we can have for the Pacific Coast in
the event that we get into war with
Europe! Before the canal schemes were
started we gave s64,OOO,0Oo worth Of
lands to secure the building of trans-con-
tinental railways, SO that We might gain
control of the trade Of Europe with
China and Japan, and now it is proposed
to open canal across the Isthmus SO as
to give the ships of Europe short route
to China and Japan and deprive ourselves
Of the commerce which now crosses our
continent. This would be rather short.
sighted policy for us to pursue.

Almarin B. Paul, formerly of this
State, and Professor Hanks, State Min.
erologist Of California, have recently
been making some experiments for the
purpose Of ascertaining the value Of the
black sand washed out in working the
big hydraulic mines of Nevada and Yuba
counties. They find that these sands
will pay about 500 per ton in fine gold.
Hereafter it is probable that apparatus
for saving the sand will be put in below
the mines. 1t is said that in saving the
sand the "slickens" will be so disposed

In Oregon they have grade OF wheat
known as goose wheat 1t is so called
because the wheat grown in the State all
came from two or three grains taken
from the crop of wild goose. The
wheat has very hard, coarse shell, and
makes peculiar grade of flour. No
wheat like it is known in this country.
The people of Oregon have wondered
from whence it came The wonder is
explained, From samples OF foreign
wheat at the Agricultural Department
the exact duplicate of the goose wheat Of
Oregon has been found. This wheat
comes from small province in Spain, the
only place where it has been grown.
From that one may safely surmise that

resembling death has aroused much in.
terest in Washington. Last Sunday
morning Mrs. Reagan, living on First
street, near the Government Printing
Office, was on her way to attend early
mass at st. Aloysiuss Church, when she
suddenly became too faint to proceed.
She turned back and just succeeded in
reaching her home, where she fell insen-
sible to the floor Her family thought
that she was dead and so did priest
who was instantly summoned, but the
doctor supposed it to be case Of sus-
pended animation and sent out for re-.
storatives. The priest went to the
church where, after mass, he spoke of
the womans sudden death and offered
prayers for the repose of her soul. Mean.
time she had revived and described her
sensations. She said that she was con-
scious of voices at her bedside and knew
that the priest had pronounced her dead.
In agony of apprehension she strove to
move or speak, but her muscles would
not obey her will. When the restora.
tives had been forced down her throat
she made what seemed to her gigantic
effort, turned over on her side, and came
slowly back to life. IN. Y. Tribune,
