The managers Of the Garfield Me

fortunate than their friends at Wash

but kept a fund amounting 10 about
$3.50, 600, which they propose to ex-
pend. without delay, in procuring
what they suppose to be work of art
in honor Of the deceased President
AS might be perhaps expected from a
Board of Trustees of such business

purchase with the money is to be Of
the very cheapest description, 81 900

times as much We hope that the
trustees have not set their valuation
upon artists time 50 low as to defeat
their own object by preventing any

as he shows from those deep sunk

plies with his constant request for
water, approaches the nearest to re-
ligioR in the abstract than saints can
portray. After giving him several
spoonfuls of water, we talked with
him at some length. His statements
all hang together a perfect chain of
evidence. He left St Paul where he
has two brothers, John and Andrew,
about two months ago, and went to
work for a railroad contractor at
Chippewa Falls who was doing some
grading. His foreman was John
Fogleburg. He quit work Wednes-
day, November l4th, and was paid
off. He sent fifteen dollars in a
money order from the Chippewa Falls
postotiice to his brother John at ST.
Paul, and started off with five or six
dollars for La Crosse where he eX-

Most of his money he spent for rail

Friday and put up that night at a
boarding house in the Fifth ward
and took breakfast there the next
day. What boarding house this was
he could not learn. His money was
all spent and the next night not find
ing work he went to This haystack to
sleep.
DURING THE NIGHT
a violent storm came up. 1t rained
very hard he said and he got wet
Then the wind blew and it got very
cold. Suddenly the top Of the stack
rolled over on him and he could not
help himself. He was not hurt very
much by the falling mass Of hay, bat
was held down so that he could not
move. Anderson then told how he
lad heard the bells ring and the cars
go by, and the steamers whistle every
day, and how he called for help but
no one came, and by and by he got
over being hungry, and did not know
when it was night or day He slept
some. He said lie did not feel very
cold. He had given up all hope Of
anyone coming to his aid.
He could not tell how mary days
he had been in the stack, hut it seem
ed as though it must be about three
weeks. His clothes we're nearly rot
ted away, and covered with mould.
When he went to sleep he weighed
about 1875 pounds, but does not now
weigh more than rs. He said he had
always been strong and healthy;
never was sick. A great many ques-
tons were asked by gentlemen in the
room, some of which are of no gene
raj interest Anderson seems to feel
the importance of needing the doc
doris not to take too much water, and
assents to everything.

We had been drugged and made victims
of a daring robbery. The man had not
left us one franc Of what he had given us
as n settlement and was gone with his
signed quit claim. Immediately we
went to the prefecture and gave an ac-
count of our s1iIerings and description
of De CLANCY. The prefect informed us
that DE CLANCY had been in the .galleys
twice before for victimizing ladies in a
similar fashion. That night all Paris
was searched for the man but he had
made good his escape. About months
after this we heard that De CLANCY was
in business in London. We went there

it settles the question beyond a doubt
that Gen. Lee never offered his sword
and Gen. Grant never declined 10 receive
it. The original letter we still have in
our possession;
BUFFALO LrTHIA SPRINGS, Va,
March IL, 1881.
Gen. U. S. Grant, New York:
SIR In friendly discussion between
several gentlemen of Northern and
Southern procivilities as to the truth of
history" a question arose whether Gen,
Lee at the surrender actually rendered
and you received his sword. 1t was
mutually agreed that you should be writ
ten to for decision. There is no idle
curiosity or desire for notoriety in regard
to this request, and a reply froln you
would be highly appreciated. Very re-
spectfully. T. d. JEFFREss.
Gen. Grant replied as follows on the
same sheet of paper:

of the matter referred to in this letter

the lady leveled the captains gun, a

of the old saying that a cat has nine
lives" On Monday last cat gave birth
to four kittens which he had decided to
make way with. He accordingly pro-
cured a bucket of water and having as
he supposed drowned the kittens buried
them under about eighteen inche of
dirt, upon which he stamped vigorously
The following day his wife happened in
the yard heard a peculiar and smothered
sound and noticed the old cat acting
very strangely over the grave of her
young. Proceeding to the spot she was
astonlshed TO her the kittens mcwing

found that all four were still alive and
kicking. notwithstanding the fact tha,
they had been under ground eighteen

A girl fourteen years old sat in the bug
gy as pale as death, but retaining a firm
grasp of the reins. The alarm had

skin horse took in the situation. lie
piled his whip 5avagcly and in a minute
his buggy was at the side of the spider
web wheels. He saw that they were
near the curb. The girl was on the
point of faintinC. If the wheels ran
against the curb the upsetting of her
buggy would surely follow Courage
girl he shouted; "l'm with YOU. Keep
tight rein and pull TO the left. Don't
be alarmed. You'll be all right
The girl pulled to the left and the spi-
der-web wheels left the curb. The buck
skin horse was tapping and forging
across the pathway of the runaway. The
gentleman caught the runaway near the
bits and was nearly drawn from his seat
He was forced 10 let 90. 4 second time

gentleman caught the horse. and sec
ond time was he forced 10 rehnquish his
hold. He drew a revolver with the in
tention Of shooting the runaway, but
again threw the wheels of his buggy
partly across his course and caught him
by the reins The horses head was be
tween the fore and hind wheels of his
buggy. Both horses were along the road
but he held the runaway firmly by the
head and shouted to workingman near
Cawood's The workingman ran to the
rescue. The horse was stopped and the
giil transferred to the buggy of her pre-
server. Her father had been thrown
from the buggy at One Hundred and

TILE LOOSE WAY oF ooNGREss.

In this connection we must not forget
the action of Congress in dealing with
swamp and overflowed lands. The act
was passed September s, 1850, after the
pressage of hard lobby, it gave away
to the States enormous tracts of land un-
der the shallow pretence that they
were swamp lands of no value, and that
the general government could not afford
the expense of reclaiming them, but the
truth OF the matter was the richest on
the face of the continent. More than
IS, ,OOO, 900 patented; very large proper
tion of which is dry land and among
the very best which the government in
dealing with our Indian reservations
and the grants made by Congress for
educational purposes. The aggregate of
these grants for common schools, univer-
sites. and agricultural colleges is about
! so 900 acres. The poorest of these differ
ent enactments is the Agricultural Col
lere Act of 1862; its grant of 10000 acres
of land for each Senator and representa-
tive in Congress, has been the source of
large and mischicvous mOnopolies of the
public domain. The act thus failed to
supplv fund with which TO build collie
pes while il enabled spectators To ap-
propriate great bodies OF the public do
| main at very low rate.
PUT on THE SCREWS.
The public land laws ought 10 make
the way of the land grabber Il hard one,
and preserve the arabic portions OF the
public domain for actual settlement in
small tracts. The "bonanza farm" sys-
tenn secures the cultivation of large areas
but only by the hired labor of men With
out families. Ten thousand acres titled
in this way, will support as permanent
residents perhaps half dozen families
of employees who look after the machin-
cry, etc. If divided into small separate
holding, the same tract would sustain a
hundred families raising less wheat per-
haps, but good children to become good
citizens, what the West now especially
needs.
