Pure Air.

While an adult needs from seven to ten
cubic feet of air each minute, that the
lungs may have full supply and purify
the blood in the best possible manner, it
is quite certain that some, at least those
in our crowded halls, our close offices,
our small bedrooms, where about one
third of our time is spent, and which
contain only enough air to sustain the
sleepers for about half an hour, secure
but q meagre supply. And while the
present supply would suffice for popu-
lation thousand times greater than the
present, and while there are active agen-
cies constantly restoring the vitiated air
to its original purity, it is by no means
needful that we should limit our lungs to
9 small amount. Breathe freely and
deep OF it by day and by ntght-the night

one Arm and One Leg.

One of the most remarkable men in
Camden is one-leggsd and one-armed
colored man named James Weeks,
residing ut Ferry road and Harley
street, in the Eight ward He is q
strong, healthy man OF about forty
years OF age, and evidently enjoys Ii
as much as his more fortunate and
physically supplied brethren. The
strange part OF the thing is that, a.
though both his left leg and left arm are
gone entirely they having been taken
out at the sockets-he is able to drive
cart, loading the vehicle, as quickly
and as well as they. who have all their
limbs, with sand or brick, and doing
fully as much work as any cart driver in
the city. Some time ago he was q
lamp-lighter, performing the work in
manner satisfactory toehis employees.
So well has he piled his business o cart
driver that he has accumulated quite a
property, 10th in horses and carts and
in real estate.
He was met yesterday afternoon by 3
Post reporter, sitting on the side of his
cart. whistling as gaiIy and apparently
as happy as any man in Camden.
When asked how he came TO lose his
LINES, he showed his worries as a broad
grin spread over his rather generous
mouth, and said "De war looked 'em

Land Frauds by Wholesale.

SALT LAKE, October 7th.--Colonel James Tullis,
special land agent of the Government, who has been
investigating the land frauds in the Territories Of
the Rocky Mountains, and who is in Salt Lake, says
there has been some big swearing by witnesses in
some of the land offices, and large tracts OF land
have been patented by persons who had in nowise
complied with the land laws. The Desert Land Entry
Act has been violated with recklessness that was
positively astonishing. In many cases it was found
that absolutely nothing had been done toward re-
claiming the lands, and yet what are known and
regarded as good citizens have gone before
the land officers and made solemn oath
that the lands had been reclaimed, and all
the conditions OF the law complied with, where
in fact no mark made by human hands could be
found upon the entire tract. Other tracts were
taken up under the Desert Acts that are no more
desert than the valleys of the Ohio river. Other
lands were found to have been taken up under the
Timber Culture Act upon which was growing at the
time of the original fling forest trees than the
law requires when final proof is TO be made. The
homestead law has not been fairly treated, and
thousands of acres have been patented by persons
who have not complied with one single requirement
Of the law, upon fraudulent testimony produced by
fraud and with the full intent and purpose to de-
fraud the Government. Tens of thousands OF acres
of the public lands are fenced up by wealthy stock
rasers thus leaving actual settlers without range
for the family COW. In instance, it found
that man living a city in Montana had fenced
up 600 acres OF public lands, and in his kindness
of heart had permitted the town people To pasture
stock in his Enclosure for the moderate sum Of one
dollar per month per head

THE RgGINN1Na OF TsR END.

The San Francisco Call is of the opinion
Woodruff mining debris case, in the
United States Circuit Court, has practi-
cally abandoned that part of the defense
based on the claim of prescriptiTe right to
run tailings from mines upon lands below
through the natural streams of the country.
If the Gail is well-advised as to the posi-
tion of counsel, it is an important fact, and
will narrow the issuea in the case ma
terially. However that may be, the case
is drawing to close, and therefore attracts
very much of attention, especially in the
valley and the hydraulic mining sections.
No one can forecast the decision of the
Court, but there is general acquieseence
in this, that whatever the Court holds,
there will be brought to the judgment high
judicial ability. The case, too, will natur-
ally 90 on to the Supreme Court OF the
United States, and thus the "slickens
question will, with fair speed, reach the
limit of legal examination. For both par
ties this is most desirable. The valley,
which is burdened with a menace that
prevents its natural development, retsrds
industry, and is bar to permanency of
improvement, has every reason to have the
case settled early and finally. The n.y.
draulic miners, whose investments
may be imperiled, have equally as
strong reasons for speedy determination
of this "slickens" litigation. The valley
people, in the light of the decision of
Judge Temple, and the similarity of the
facts In the case tried before him and the
one now pending, manifest their strong
faith in the favorable outcome for their
side in the Woodruff suit In whatever
Rght the case is looked at, now that
it is being submitted to the Court,
it is one of vast Importance, and
should suffer no serious delay in being de-
cided and in being carried up, if at all,
Immediately after the Court below shall
have determined it. The interests in.
volved in this litigation are SO great, and
the influence of the decision will be SO ex-
tended in its operations, that from its sub.
mission until its decision the public mind
in valley and in mountain will be almost
feverishly excited and anxious for the
judgment of the Court. But whatever the
outcome, whether it shall prove an aid or
hindrance to the valley; whether it shall
iniure or protect the interests of the
miners; one thing in the economy of
government may be taken as certain, and
that is, that the navigsble streams must be
preserved for the purposes of navigation,
and the valley must be protected against
the damage resulting from tbs flow of min
ing debris. To contemplate the further
injury of the one or the destruction of the
other is not to be thought Of Whether
the Woodruff case gets to the Supreme
Court this winter or not, the case of
the river should get to Congress and have
hearing, for whatever ia done or decided
the nation should turn its attention to
preserving the nAvigability of the Sacrs-
mento river.

THE AkTI-Jgw1sH RIOTS.

The anti Jewish riots continue in West
Hungary. Whatever crime is committed
there about which there is the slightest
mystery is charged upon the Jews, and
immediately the mob falls upon that IN
happy people and proceeds to despoil them
OF their goods, and frequently to take their
lives. So, too, in Russia intolerance re-
garding Jews prevails. The trouble in the
latter country is that the Jews are largely
confined to given districts, where they are
inhumanly crowded together. Limited in
the exercise of privileges of trade and in
dustry, it is not surprising that they are
often driven to commercial practices which
the gentle considers extortionate, ami the
hatred for the Jew is thus fostered, which
is rooted in the people by religious teach
ings. Very slight causes fan the flame Of
hate and scorn TO a confsgration, and the
result is a shame to humanity. Thus,
recently at Nowomaskowsk, q Russian
town in the province of Jekaterinoslav, a
Russian church was plundered, and at
once the crime was laid at the door of
the Jews. A rising followed, and the
houses of two hundred families were
burned, and their inmates barbarously
treated, some being killed. The officials
resisted the rioters, killed five and ar
rested thirty. But the Governments of
Russia and that of Austria Hungary do
not seem to be able to prevent these riot.
GUS proceedings, and the chief cause is
found in the fact that the mob has the Sc
cret countenance Of religious zealots, and
of class Of priests whose Christianity
does not yet rise above persecution for
opinions sake.

It exalted him upon pin1sele before |
which they fell down in their enthusiastic |
admiration for man who had been hIssed
by Partisan mob because he was King OF
Spain, and as such had been friendly with
Germans. It revived in his interest the
ancient hostility of the Spanish against the
French, and above all it enabled the Span
ish to express their qualification at the new
and close relations established between
Spain and Germany and Austria, and In
which France has no part. But there Is
something to be said, after all, for the
Partisan populace. 1t is very evident that
the mass of the people are secretly
pleased at the assault. They feel
that Alfonso's coming, under the circum-
stances, was provocative of breach of the
peace. They feel, and are probably not
far from right in their judgment, that Al
fonso was but the puppet of Bismarck, and
that his visit amounted to contemptuous

the face of the young Republic. He is the

that he never was the friend of France /;
that recently he demanded of the Republic

them; the Monarchists by their hot con-

A NOVEL cAMPkIeE.

We are informed that the great number
of women in Ohio who are laboring for the
success of the prohibitory amendment at
to-morrow's election in that State propose
to set up booths near the polls and serve
coffee, sandwiches and prohibition ballots
and arguments to all Corners. Children in
singing bands bearing banners will make
the air musical with prohibition songs, and
from the opening of the polls to the setting
of the sun prayer meetings will be main
tanned for especial invoeations to Heaven
for aid. There is novelty in all these ideas,
except that of prayer. There is a vigor
and determination about them that is
pleasing. The influences to be brought
to bear are legitimate and proper. They
comport better with our civilization than
whisky, pistols and ward-striking. We
have no idea that the prohibition amend
ment will prevail. It is submitted
separately, and does not depend upon the
success or defeat of either the Republican
or Democratic tickets, and this is favor.
able for it, but it lie handicapped by
the policy of the prohibitionists in putting
up distinct ticket. There was no neces.
sity for them to do so whatever, and by
that act they have estranged many friends.
We have no idea that providential inter
ference will mark the Ohio election, and
the prayer meetings as political agencies
will not cut much of figure in the fight.
What the friends of order and decency and
sobriety have to rely upon is the justice
and cleanliness of their cause, and the
laundering of the Democracy and it's allies.
The attention of the whole country will
center upon Ohio tomorrow. The result
of the election no man can foretell, but if
the signs of campaign are of any value,
the outcome will be Republican triumph.
