out an exhaustive work upon the fishes

which he has yet to get more exact in

As an instance Of what the Federal

was developed in the United States

Luis Martin called at the Office in COM

affidavit to the effect that since 1872 he

ground four miles from Santa Fc. hai
constructed various and sundry cor
rails. houses, stables and out-houses
thereon, and desired to take the neces-
sary legal steps TO secure the property
rs his own under the homestead law
The necessary documents were imme-
diately made out, Martin made oath to
them. and was about to make final
proof of publication, when joaquin
Montoya came along and swore that
Martin had never lived on the specified
property, had resided in Santa Fc all
his life, and hal not improved the land
and, in fact, had no claim upon it what
ever. These statements were substan-
tiated by several trustworthy citizens.
and as a result Mr.. Montoya located
the land "a his own under the home

they cannot be better utilized than by
being thrown in quantities into the
sea, where they make the best possible
foundation for new oyster beds This
summer many ship-loads of these
empty shells will be sunk by English
and French oyster farmers in various
places suitable for the purpose, and
few, healthy living oysters will then be
dropped upon the same spots. Expert
ments have proved that under such
conditions the bivalyes will shortly
multiply to an almost incredible cX-
tent; and in so brief Il period as two
years each empty shell will have from
thirty to forty young oysters attached
TO it. The new generation can then
be removed to make room for more,
and fattened for market in specially
constructed tanks.

In no other country are desertions
from the army so numerous in proper
tion to its size rs in ours, and in none
is its cost per man so great. Accord
ing TO the last annual report issued by
the adjutant-general, there were 374l
desertions during the year. When we
remember that the maximum Of the
army is only $4,000, the proportion ap-
pears enormous. Five-sixths Of the
desertions take place on the frontier,
and as cavalrymen almost invariably
take their horses with them, the gov
ernment loses both. Taking into con
sideration the cost Of keeping up re
cruiting stations, Of enlisting men, of
furnishing them with their outfit and
transporting them to the posts-to say
nothing Of their rations-wc can form
some idea OF the large amount of
money that is wasted through deser-
tion. 1t has been said that the custom
Of making soldiers do the work of
day laborcrs with pick and shovel, in
stead of continuing them 10 military
exercises, has much TO do with their
desire to take French leave.

A young lady in Chicago has some
very practical ideas about missionary
work. She is a student in the female
Baptist missionary training school and
Is not yet twenty years Of age. 1t has
been her practice, for the past few
months, to visit the sick and destitute
in the lowest and vilest slums of Chi
cago, entirely alone. at all hours of the
day. The little figure dressed modest
" In black is known and respected by
the criminal classes Of the city, and in
all her errands of mercy she has never
once been molested or even insulted.
She says that her object is, first of all,
to do some practical good. and next, to
ft herself by actual experience for her
life-work as a missionary. Wiser peo-
pie than this young girl have gone
through life without getting as near
the ideal of Christianity.

ment Of the London Truth that during

In Liverpool from America with car
goes Of fresh meat, consisting Of 9oi5

mutton, while seven other vessels
brought TO the same port 26jj cattle

these fourteen vessels were from South

most Of them came from the United

THE LITERARY EXERCISES

Were held in the evening in the rear of the
Capitol building in the park, and followed by
fireworks. The evening was cool snd pleas
ant, and nearly the entire population of the
city, including visitors, were in the park. AT
a low estimate, there were not less than
5000 people on the ground. OF course but
small portion could hear the literary exer-
cises, but the fireworks were sufficient at.
traction to keep them all there.
Grand Marshal Scott called the assemblage
to order. and introduced the President of the
Day, Mayor Brown. Mr.. Brown made a
few appropriate remarks, after which there
was prayer by the Chaplain, Rev. G.. Nc
Kel cey. Mort. A. Lindley then read the
Declaration Of Independence. Judge S. O..
benson. the Orator Of the Day, was then
introduced, and delivered an excellent, but
brief Grafton. This was followed by the
reading, by Frank Ryan, of the poem, writ
ten for the occasion by Ralph Turner, of this
city. The poem is given in full elsewhere
The exercises closed with prayer by the
Chaplain, and the next attraction was
THE FIREWORKS.
These were very handsome, and creditable
TO the gentlemen who provided them. Per-
haps the greatest drawback was the lack of
funds appropriated for that purpose by the
committee. The high wind interfered with
some of the works, and in the afternoon the
top portion Of the largest figure representing
the Goddess of Liberty was blown down and
damaged so that it could not be replaced. The
pyrotechnic display lasted about an hour. At
the conclusion the multitude OF tired people
wendell their way to their homes, and soon
the city was quiet,

exercises on the Fourth will be held in the
