The Commissioner of the General Land Office, Hon. N. Mcfarland, in his annual report recommends Con. gress to make some legislation in rela- tion to private land claims in New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona, and recommends that a commission for each of these Territories be appointed to examine and settle these claims, with proper appeal for review upon eror of law.

The article from the Deming Head
 light, in this issue, in relation to Charlie McComas, confirms our oft re- peated beliefthat he was killed before reaching the Mexican line. The h. dians at the tune of the killing of Charlie's father and mother and of his capture, were making forced marches, and were hotly pursued by citizen soldiers and, therefore, it was not at all likely that they would cucumber

There has been a good deal of absur

There has been good deal of absurd talk among the negroes about the late Supreme Court decision, which indi- cates in some cases great ignorance of the nature and functions of courts of law. On the whole, however, it seems likely to turn the attention of the col ored population in the matter of pro- lection for their civil rights in the true direction, namely, to the govern ment of the States in which they live. When the Congressional Civil-Rights Bill was passed few supposed that within ten years the negro voters of the South would have it in their power to make themselves felt at State cleo tions. As matter of fact, however, there is hardly State to-day in which their support, properly managed, is not worth courting by one or other ot two parties. In Virginia, in particular, they are literally masters of the situa- ton, if they choose, and will do good service, if, as they now threaten, they compel their leader, Malone, to do something for them besides cheating the State creditors and debauching the public service by ofice-jobbing at Washington. Mahone's Legislature has in its possession all the civ!l rights there are in,the State, and it ought to be compelled to divide them equally DeSwcen the two racei.-Ncw York | Nation.

General News Items.

Snow is reported to have fallen ir several of the Eastern states, and ir some of the more northern ones the ground is completely covered.
 The bad feeling between whites and blacks in Virginia seems to be grow ing stronger. At Danville the militia. ry continue to guard the streets, assis. ted by citizens with shot guns. A fight between white man and ne. gro at Fredricksburg, has caused con siderable feeling there, and trouble is anticipated. The sale of firearms in the state is reported as very large. It is reported that Blaine was a heavy loser in the recent Northern Pacific stock furry, which will ac- count for his leasing his new residence at Washington, which he had intend ed occupying himself.
 A destructive cyclone visited Spring. field, Mo-, on the 9th inst. Seven per- sons are reported killed and many in- jured. A number of houses were demolished.
 An accident occurred in San Fran cisco, on the Haight street cable-car line, on Tuesday, by which an old lady was severely and probably fatally in- jured, and a young man badly hurt. !. The Russian Nihilists have been dealt heavy blow by the arrest of Vera Philapora who, although a woman, is said to have been the actual head of the Nihilist executive com- mittee. :. President Randall, of the Almaden Quicksilver Mining Company of Cali fornia, says that the production of quicksilver is rapidly decreasing, and that it will soon become unproftable to work the mines in this country. The production in California in 1882 was 1000 hasks less than in 1881, and this years production will, it is esti- mated, show still further decrease. Quicksilver men will petition Congress for better protection, as the foreign importation is steadily increasing. Mir. Randall says further that S90,0O0,000 is invested ia quicksilver mines on the Pacific coast, which employ 5000 men, and that duty of ten cents per pound will have to be placed on the foreign article if the mines here are to be worked at a profit.

Faith in God,

Faith in God justifes self respect
and defense of ones individual rights.
In the Goddess theory of the universe
men are momentary products of ma
lures loom, woven and unraYeled as
they make up the progressive wool of
human history after the pattern of a
slowly perfected humanity. The in
dividual is nothingj humanity is ev-
erything. One soul comes and another
goes, each made by its place and for
its place and both endure for mo-
ment and are gone. Before the re-
lentess march of this advancing horde
the single soul is trampled into annihi-
lation and forgetfulness. From the
crest Of this foaming sea, myriads of
drops are for an instant whirled into
life, wrought into forms of beauty, and
then whelmed into the cruel waves.
Human rights and joys, human afec-
tions and hopes, human responsibilities
and fears, are but the flying foam on
their restless waves that with accelera-
ted speed hurry them toward the
ocean. President Porter.

The Oldest Oak in America.

The town of Woodbridge, near New
Haven, is said to possess the oldest oak
in America, and a celebration was re-
Gently held in honor of the venerable
tree
1t is said to be from 1000 to 1900
years old, its circumference at the base
being thirty feet, and some of its BRAN
ches extending sixty feet from the
trunk. Despite its age it is full of
yigor, and those who gathered to honor
it, deCked it with flags and flowers.
The company also formed themselves
into an association which has for its
object the protection of the patriarch
and the building of railing around
it.
Nearly all of the grand old oaks OF
England have been protected by like
associations. The protection of his.
toric trees seems almost a sacred duty.

The Old and The New Year.

The Old Year has hed-hed forever
like some strange wild dream that
haunts the brain of a sleeper, So fades
the last blush of day, the tint on the
rose, the leaf in the forest. Only a
while ago it was called the New Year,
and around the festive board many a
glass was drained to its honor. Bright
anticipaticns arose in every beating
heart for happy future just beyond,
while Hope whispered her golden
promises and babe each restless soul to
"waitI" Ali it is the hardest thing
in life-this waiting" Even should
a wish be realized (Which seldom is to
our satisfaction another takes its place
quite as ardent. That which is Just
before is always beautiful; so is the
mirage in the deSert--so the apples on
the Dead Sea shore. But, the Old Year
has gonel Dear was some departed
friend. Some glorious time in that
Old Year has forever planted it in the
garden of memory, some sorrowful
event has forever hallowed it there.
Of what was that Old Year made |?
Shadow and sunshine, flowers and
leaves, hopes, fears, pleasure and pain.
Brides going forth in their beauty,
newly made graves in the old burying
ground. Feasts, funerals, merry well
comes and weary farewells.
But it has lone now, that old time,
into the dark oblivion that rolls round
all the world, and the Recording An
gel has said, cts donep
4 "the Old Year dieth, y
And the forests utter moan,
Like the voice of one who crielh
In the wilderness alone,
'Vex not his ghost"
Yes, the roaring winds have chanted
his death-song in the forest, and he
has wrapped himself in winding
sheet to slumber with the things that
were.
1883 has dawned upon us, and thou
sands Of hearts have welcomed his com.
ing with joy and gladness. Many a
bosom thrills with pleasure as the rosy
visions of a coming time draw near
brilliant hopes all woven in gorgeou
tissues Haunting daily in the COLDER
light
Another page, pure and spotless is
opened before us, and when another
twelve months shall have been gar
nered in, let no evil action mar it

The Home of our Childhood.

Does any one know what has become
of the jolly cid times that used to be-
long to our lives. They are missing
and we cannot find them. The days
when the mention OF Thanksgiving
meant joy and gladness and reunion
and merry feasting, when all the men,
bers of the family assembled around
the board and the great fire burned
cheerfully in the great fireplace. How
the polished brass and iron caught
the ruddy reflections of the blaze and
danced around like gold fairies. Does
anybody remember such a fireplace
The hearth freshly painted with red
brick and the mantle was high beyond
the reach of the children. The brass
candlesticks were turned up in row
and the almanac hung at one end.
The shovel and tongs had their sepa-
rate corner and there was a crane in
the back of the Fireplace, where the
tea-kettle used sometimes to sing like
a nightingale. Where are they?
There was pantry, too, (have you
seen IT'D with smell of cheese, mince
pie, doughnuts, and tempting display
of jars tied up with white cloths. There
was one not so tightly tied up as the
rest, and naughty hands would reach
after the peach preserves sometimes.
Does anybody know where those pan.
tries are gone? There were two old
rocking chairs with cushions peiced up
from old scraps of dresses. The paint
was worn from the arms and they
tipped over if you rocked too far back,
but we wish they could be found.
There was kitchen, too. 1t went
away with all the rest. A sweet
kitchen where there was always a
smell of good dinners, spicy and aro-
matte odor of garden herbs. No tea
or coffee has ever been found since
with such delicious aroma. There
are thousands of great residences, with
very modern appliances for comfort
where they have state dinners with no
end of pomp and show and style, and
where the china is costly and the
epergnes are OF cut glass and silver
and the wines are costly.
They are SPLENDID, but somehow
9 to-day, we want the old lost home
There are echoes which come down
from its smoky rafters, and they fal
g upon the heart with a mingled feeling
Of pleasure and pain. There are voice.
and footsteps and laughter and songs
and the patter of baby feet all ming
led in the echo. Sounds that we shall
, never hear again in the mystic hall o
memory. Reader, you know of such
a house, and you can tell why tn,
mention ofholidays brings a nameles
longing to look once more into thu
empty rooms once SO thronging will

Obstinate and vicious horses, by
having their attention removed from
the object on which their mind is bent,
can be made much more tractable than
they otherwise would be. Some are
very difficult to shoe, showing dispo-
sition to bite and kick whenever the
sheer touches them. A few grains of
the ETHEREAL oil of parsley dropped on a
handkerchief and placed before the
nose of the horse, it is said, never fails
to quiet his irritable disposition, and
makes him for the time being perfectly
manageable.
