THE Cincinnati Times-Star pays the follow.
ing tribute to our German felow-citizens:
"The bi-centennial anniversary of the first
German settlement in America has been cele-
brated with great enthusiasm in this city and
vicinity. Our German fellow-citizens have
lively appreciation Of the significance Of the
event they celebrate. The arrival of those
first settlers at Germantown was the begin
ming Of a movement which has contributed
TO the population of the New World hundreds
Of thousands of thrifty, law-abiding and lib
erty.lovng citizens, who, while cherishing the
fondestrecolections and warmest affection for
the Fatherland, are unexcelled in their loyalty
and devotion to the Republic. The people
Of no other nationality have shown themselves
more worthy of the privileges they here en-
joy, or have done greater service in the devel-
opment Of material resources and the cultiva-
ton of taste in music, as well as in the en-
couragement of scientific study. Native
Americans, and all others now in the Empire
OF Uncle Sam, cordially extend the right hand
of fellowship to the Germans in the great
brotherhood OF Yankees"

"Ir WAS greatly feared" says the New
Orleans Times-D Democrat, ''that Texas would
be unable to participate as a State in our
coming exposition, because its regular session
would not be held until the exposition was

an appropriation. Fortunately, this extra
session has saved us, and renders it tolerably
certain that the Lone Star State, than which no
Southern State is more interested in the success
Of this exposition, will be represented here.

lance in his power; and we must now look to

azine, no doubt will prove the really great
American story which has been so long

INDIAN Land Decision,

The first comptroller of the treasury has
rendered an opinion in the matter of the pay
ment of expenses incident to the disposition
of Usage trust and diminished reserve lands
and Usage ceded lands in Kansas. The ques-
tion was, whether the act of August 8, 1882,
relating to the expenses of the sale of lands
therein mentioned, repealed section 36l7 of
the Revised Statutes in so far as the proceeds
of the sales of the lands are concerned, or, in
effect, whether the gross proceeds of the sales
of the lands are to be covered into the
treasury, or, whether out Of such proceeds
and without any other appropriation act,
the expenses incident to the dispo-
sition of said lands shall be paid
by the receivers of public moneys out of the
sums realized from the sales thereof Tho
first comptroller is Of opinion that an eXcep-
ton cannot be engrafted on section 3617 with
out clear words indicating such purpose, but
he held that the act of 1852 does engraft an
exception in clear and explicit language, and
that particular provision of the act Of 1SS2
controls and limits the general provisions of
section 36l7 of the Revised Statutes. He con-
tends that the purpose of the act of 1882
clearly required the expenses incident to the
disposition of the lands in question to be paid
from the sums realized from the sales. The
act does not authorize the payment of oX-
penses incident to sales prior to the date of its
passage.

A Negro Runs Away with n Girl.

Boston, Jan. ga dispatch from St. AL
bans, VT, says John Edwards, colored farm
laborer at Rochester, ran away yesterday with
Kitty Marsh, 13 years old, daughter of a
farmer. Edwards stole horses and sleigh from
his employer and, calling at the school house
where the girl was, she accepted an invitation
to take a ride. These facts were learned by
her parents from the children, and an alarm
was given. The search has been vigor-
ously prosecuted all over the northern
part of the state. This morning it was learned
at Vorgennes that the man and his victim
spent the night there and started north this
morning. 1t is not believed that the flight
was prearranged on the part of the girl, al
though her subsequent movements may have
been voluntary. 1t is feared that the pair
will reach Canada before they can be over
taken. Edwards has served a term for lar

this city enjoying well earned leave, has
turned over to the secretary of state S2,350.00

Garfield memorial hospital fund. Mr. Denny
was popular with the people of Shanghai and
the east, and throughout his stay in the orient
he seems 10 have taken n broad view of his
duties. 1t was chiefly through his eXertions
that the telegraph was introduced into the

which was found to exist against the improve
ment. He had hard struggle TO overcome
this prejudice, but finally succeeded in a
measure. lie took lively interest in the
acclimatizaton of fruits, plants, trees, and
birds, and among other things he introduced
into Oregon, Washington territory, and Cali
fornia, the large Chinese ring-neck pheasant,
the red-legged partridge of Shantung province.
He has sent to California specimens of the
liChu or tallow tree from which the tallOw Is
procured used for candles in Budha wor-
ship, and the trees are now growing
there. While in Oregon he successfully
transplanted fruit trees of the Yang-mai To-
quot, pang-too and tomato peach varieties as
well as the tallow tree, bamboo, and tea plant.
While abroad he was mainly instrumental in
inducing Tong-King-Sing, progressive Chi

A Modest Demand.

Col. Peyton, of Philadelphia, the promoter
Of the centennial exhibition Of 1876 and of
the Yorktown centennial, is here in advance
of delegation which is expected to arrive
from Philadelphia on Monday next, when q
memorial to congress will bo presented first
in the house by eX-GOv, Curtin asking for an
appropriation TO reimburse the stockholders for
the losses incurred in the deficiency in closing
up the accounts of the centennial exposition.
The memorial will ask for the modest sum of
81 200, 900, which is but 100000 more than
the amount returned to the United States
treasury under the terms of the original
act of congress which placed $l,50O000
Mt the disposal Of the directors of
government out of the gross receipts before
any expenses were deducted. Col. Peyton
says that the stock in question is held by
citizens of the states of New York and Penn
sylvania, but principally in Philadelphia, and
tho amounts subscribed range from $40 TO
S20,000 representing the savings of sewing
girls and the investments of capitalists, and
that the stock wis taken up purely on ac-
count of the state pride awakened by the
active interest taken in the matter by Hon.

AFA1RY Foot RACE.
A Lively Scene in the Corridors OF the
Interior Department.

Commissioner Mcfarland, of the land Office,
who is an extremely decorous person, found
it necessary to the preservation of his dignity
and tho discipline of his office to discharge
one of his most promising clerks yesterday.
The object of his displeasure is u young man,
who although only recently married TO the
daughter of u naval officer of prominence and
high social standing, could not withstand
the temptation of flirting with a pretty
clerk in the department This breach
of propriety reached the ears of his superior,
who gave him fatherly reprimand week
or two ago without effect. 1t is likely he
would have escaped the wrath Of the commits
sioner, however, had not his wife taken ii
into her head to visit the department She
brought rawhide with her and seeking out
the Objectionable young lady proceeded TO
make tho place very torrid. She chased the
miss through the halls, pursuing her clear
around the building. Both ladies developed
great speed and staying powers. Those who
witnessed the spectacle say 1t was one of the
greatest foot races on record. The maid OBJ
tanned the lead, however, and held it from
wire to wire, keeping just beyond the reach
of the hurtling rawhide, and showing nc
signs of exhaustion. But for the interference
of watchman they would probably be still
running. A survey of the field shows only
one casualty. The lothario who caused all
the trouble is out of job, and the department
will not be sCandalized again very soon.
