The Duke and the Dude.

The following story is told of on Eng
lish nobleman, recently deceased: The
duke was once in church when collec-
ton was announced for some charitable
object. The plate began to 60 round, and
the duke carefully put his hand into his
pocket and took ont form, which he
laid on the pew before him, ready to be
transferred to the plate. Beside him sat
little snob, who, noticing this action,
initiated it by ostcntatiously layiW a
sovereign alongside the ducal fcijn.
This was too much for his grace, who
dipped his hand into his pocket again
and pulled out anot,:er form, which he
laid by the side OF the first. The little
snob followed suit by laying another SOY
ereign beside the first. His grace quietly
added a third form, which was capped
by third sovereign on the part of tie
little snob. Out came fourth form to
swell the dukes donation, and then the
little snob triumphantly laid three SOW
ereigns at once upon the board. The
duke, not to be beaten, produced three
forms. Just at this moment the plate
arrived. The little snob took up his
handful of sovereigns, ostentatiously rat
tied them into the plate, and then turned
defiantly toward his rivalas if he would
say, II think that takes the shine out of
you" Fancy his chagrin when the duke
with grim smile, put one form into the
plate and quietly swept the remaining
nix back into his pocket.

Timber Decision.

WAsHINGToy, Nov. 28.-Secretary Tel
Ter rendered the following decision in
the case recently reported from the gen.
eral land Office from Washington Terri
tory in which one. Baird was accused of
tresspassing and cutting timber unlaw-
fully on public lands. The accused,
although a squatter, is rightfully
or the land if he intends to make
his home on it and take it up under the
settlement laws when lands are surveyed
and he is allowed to do so. Whether he
is or is not a trespasser does not depend
on how many trees he cut, but on the
bona fide character of the settlements
IF he takes up land in good faith he is the
owner thereof to all practical purposes,
although the title may remain with the
government. 1t is better for the govern
ment to suffer occasionally by the loss of
the timber cut on pretended homestead
and pre-emption claims than that settlers
should be embarrassed in their efforts to
secure the beneftsof liberal laws, passed
for the express purpose Of inducing the
people to go on the pulie lands and make
themselves homes. The correspondence
between ex-Spaaker Keifer and William
ssValter Phelps will soon be published.

Tire ChiehGry Smelter.

The building ofDr. Newcomb's smelter
at Chickory has been carried on so quietly
(perhaps the cause istraceable to the fact
that its owner is not given to public talk
that might have the appearance ofboast-
ftillness), that now when it is complete
and ready to turn out bullion, an ex-
tended reference to it may be Of general
interest, especially as everything we
shall say regarding it comes from an
authoritative source and may be relied
upnn.
The building is Of wood, 24x30 feet.
The smelter itself measures SKA feet
outside and is surmounted by stack
rising 40 feet. The smeiter is capable of
handling from five to eight tons Of the
most refractory ore, and in ore that yields
more easily, its capacity will reach from
ten to thirteen tons daily. About two
weeks ago the smelter was regarded as
complete, and an experimental run was
made. At that time the brick work of
stack did not extend above the roof, but
was susmounted by an iron stack lined
with tire-clay. 1t should be remembered
that heat of from l 400 to 900 degrees
Farenheit, is required to melt the silica
from which the metals are to be separ-
ated-or Twice what will reduce iron to a
liquid, and it may readily be- imagined
that when the furnace fires began to act
upon the ores the iron stack was very
red in spite of its fsre-clay lining and
atmoslleric surrounding. While there
was no danger Of melting, there was dan
ger that it would set fire othe wood roof
through which it passed, and this danger
became so imminent before the required
temperature had been attained in the
furnace, that preierring to sacrifice the
test for that time rather than burn his
building, DR.. Ncwconb ordered the fur
mace doors thrown open and allowed the
sn1elterto cool.-Enterprise

Of the day, like Gi,lliver making his ad-

the increase OF newspapers is entirely

the price of papers there is nothing but
a matter of ayarice. The old citatleis of

M0rTissey's Hibe2nicon.

''The panoramic, historical. musical and
comic entertainment given by this COM
pany in the Atheneu,n last evening was
meritorious and highly appreciated
by an unusually large audience. The
Immense room was not filed but enough
people were present to crowd any other
hall in the city beyond standing room.
The scenery, which consists Of views Of
the famous beauty spots of the Emerald
Isle, is As usual, beautiful, but the most
entertaining and praiseworthy feature of
the show is the marvellous ventriloquism
OF Mr. Wells. 10 ventriloquist has ever
Travelled in the west or northwest who
has such a complete control Of the voice,
and his superior in this wonderful art is
unknown. Mr. and Mrs Morrissey in
Irish sketches, songs and dances are
good and their dancing is excellent"

Pre.Empti0n Swindles.

The following from the st. Louis Re
publican, is to the point, and exposes
system Of wholesale swindling which
has been in full operation ever since
Kansas and Nebraska were opened to
settlement. The homestead act aids
few to get homes, but the great body of
land entered under that act, goes into the
hands Of spectators.
Many believe that the actual settlers
would, rs q whole, get their farms
cheaper, If the pre-emption law were re-
pealed.
"The presumption feature in our pub
lie land code, was enacted for the specific
purpose of enabling actual settlers to Sc
cure farms on the public domain, and to
protect the domain from spectators,
But it seems that in the Northwest the
pre-emption law has been seized by the
SPECTATORS and employed to defeat the
very purpose it was intended to serve.
The provisions of the law are uniformly
disregarded. One-half of the lands taken
mp in Dakota, are declared to be irrecu-
3arly entered. In some townships there
ere not more than fifteen actual settlers,
and yet the lands are all taken up; and
few townships are found where only four
VI five houses are to be seen, yet specu-
lators own all the land, having secured it
through false swearing under the pre-
emptionsbw: A very large proportion
of the immigrants moving into the
Northwest, are forced to buy their lands,
not from the government at government
prices, but from spectators at double
and treble prices.
1T is to- be hoped that some efficient
measures will be adopted by congress to
prevent this abuse. The public domain
should be kept for actual settlement only.
II is not good for the country that the
rich grain lands of the Northwest should
fall into the hands ofspcculatoTs iobbing
corporations and barcnial owners. Huge
Dalrymple farms Of 25,o00 acres each, are
( features to be sterniy discouraged II
would be q blessing to have every bascn-
ial landed estate in the West i'roken an
and subdiyided among large number oi
small Independent owners"
