A Head of Water.

We are frequently asked as to what constitutes "head of water" The , term is new one to our Eastern new corners. It originated with miners in the early gold-washing days. A head of water is 100 inches, and is measur- ed by a gate having a square hole through which the water passes. For instance, a gate having a hole one inch square through which water is forced by four-inch pressure (that is, four inches higher than the opening) car. ries one inch of water, and gate con- taining a hole of 100 square inches carries "head of water or a hum dred inches.

It was during Grants term as Pres ident, and he with his friend Conkling and considerable party were jour neying northward by rail from Conk- ling's home in Utica. At the town in question large delegation of the will lagers were assembled at the station to greet the President and the then idolized senator. The train drew up slowly, the crowd cheered and there appeared on the rear platform short, thick-set man, in a rusty suit of black, with vest partially unbuttoned and a generally demoralized and travel stained look. It was Grant. Behind him in the doorway lowered a mag nifcent figure, in summer suit and Panama hat, with the familiar blue tie, the thin, scornful nose and the "hyacinthine" beard and curls, then scarcely whitened with the age they now so plainly betray. It was Conk. ling, looking his best. There was mo- mentary confusion and then semi intoxicated individual stepped forward and impatiently motioning the small man in black aside and beaming with admiration on the wearer of the Pan- anna hat he said: Stand aside, stand aside, you insignificant little cuss, and let Gen. Grant come out" When the train drew out of the station the gem eral was still laughing, and even Lord Roscoe's patrieian lip was curled by a smile instead of sheer, while mirth for the moment displaced scorn on his classic nostril.

WhAt Docs . United states Patent to
 c Mexican Land Grant Convey.

The readers of the Mining Record will readily recall that uniformly we have held that patent issued from the General Land office at Washing ton to ground or realty in oonfrma- ton of previous grant thereto on the part of the Republic of Mexico or any State thereof, could only cover, embrace or convey what the grant thus confirmed would have handed over to the. enjoyment of the grantee or assigns, had the land in question remained under the eminent domain of Mexico. And, therefore, inasmuch as the mineral contents of any land thus granted were never meant to be conveyed by any Mexican grant, ne- csssarily no United States patent issu- a h confirmation of any such grant could have, the legal effect to bestow its mineral contents to the holder of the patent, It had always seemed to us that there could be no we'll ground ed doubt of this. We were not aware, however, until recently, that the Su- preme Court of the State of Oregon always an able tribunal-Shad decided that even a patent for agricultural lands does not pass title to deposits of the precious metals that had been discovered previously to the issuance of such patent.
 In that decision we find that Judge McArthur, who spoke for the court, used this noteworthy language: "That "the general government has the ex- elusive right to control the mines, "has never been seriously questioned 1; "the principal being conceded that "mines of the precious metals belong ito the eminent domain of the politi- "cal sovereignty, as well under the "laws of Spain as by the common law "of England and public law of the Limited States" Hence as under cer. tain acts of Congress, the right to ex- plore for and develop mines on the public lands, both surveyed and un- surveyed, had been granted to the cit isens of the country, there was a fran chise granted to such explorers and discoverers of mines in what they may have discovered and worked, that could not be set aside by any patent that might be subsequently, issued to the same land for agricultural pur- poses.
 . This decision clearly defines the pur- pose of the law to be, that the mineral resources of the country shall be spe- cially reserved for development with out interference or molestation from any other quarter than that of the government, as regulated by specific laws designed to encourage the min ing industry. A greater abuse of such . purpose we cannot conceive, than that Mexican land grant should be made to cover the mineral which it might prove to contain

Negro "shouting.,

Nearly every religious service among the negroes in Arkansas is attended with one or more cases of the hysteria. Both whites and blacks in the Bends use the term shouting" to describe this phenomenon, though, so far as l have known, the victims never really shout. The whites say that the ter
 originated years ago,when the negroes
 in their contortions really shouted, but that the yells reduced IT., meetings to a bedlam too upr Asyen ne- gro taste, and that kof the church officers ala yh0 hg has been supprsnadr the old convulsion. hs is argues that the condition is one of fictitious hysteria put on for show. But some cases that I have seen elsewhere go far to indicate that sometimes the hysteria is genuine. In one instance, when a protracted "watch meeting" on the last night of the year was in progress, l saw negress lean forward upon rail of seat, holding it fast with both hands. Then she began a series of ofconvulsivs, leaps, rising high up- ward and pulling herself down again with movement so swift that she actually seemed a mere shadow in the air. This awful energy, which I do not believe the strongest man in his natural condition condition could have initiated for more than two or three minutes, this negress kept up for at least twenty minutes, falling back at last with dull "thud" on her head. It seems hard to reconcile this and many like cases with anything but a real morbid ectasy generated by ner- vous emotion. It is a fact also ofsome interest that the term shouting in some parts of the South is used only for peculiar dance in which the males and females, standing back to back in two separate lines, sing, dance, scream and go through some original negro calisthenics.-New York Post.

More Cadets Broken.

-Four more naval cadet officers were re-
duced to the ranks Saturday night. Cadet
Robert Harris Woods, of Virginia, of the
tirst-class, who is quartered on the ship
Santee, said to Captain Ramsay that he
did not see why he should be broken and
quartered on the Santee when other cadets
who had taken part in the disturbances as
he had were now holding rank, with all
their privileges restored. Captain Ramsay
asked him if he could substantiate his
statement and Woods reported First Cap
tain Charles Walter Hazeltine, of Missouri
of the first-class Master George W. Little
fales, Of Pennsylvania, of the first-cass;
First Captain VIM. II. Lawrence, of Penn
sylvania, of the secondclass, and First
Lieutenant II. II. Baltheis, of Illinois, of
the first class. All of these were broken.
Captain Ramsay, in his order says that he
regrets that Mr.. Woods action was not
prompted by a sense of duty. The new ap.
pointme nts will be made next week.
