In view of the train of disasters
hailing from all parts of the globe, it
would hardly be surprising if the ter

gins, L. i. d. Astronomer, should
come around on schedule time.
Even the most intimate friends Of
the parties were surprised to learn Of
the marriage, on Monday last at IL
a. m., of Mr.. Curtis Harris to Miss
Emily Mays. The ceremony was per.
formed by Rev. Z. s. Miller at
the residence of the brides father,
with only the immediate family of the
bride present. Immediately after be-
ing pronounced man and wife, the hap
py pair took the train for Garrett, near
which place is to be their future home.
Although of very retiring DISPOSE
ton, and not much known in the or
binary society of the town, Miss Mays
was highly esteemed by such as
were fortunate enough to enjoy her
intimate acquaintance and the best
wishes of many friends will follow her.
Mr. Harris is quite well known in this
and adjoining counties as a successful
school teacher, in which capacity he is
nov employed in Anderson county.

According to correspondent Of the
New York Times, Florida is altogether
too generous in the matter OF giving
land TO railroads. The public domain
has already been exhausted, and the
legislature is shown to have granted
land to companies after it had already
passed into the possession of other cor
porations This business will make
work for the lawyers. Florida is not the
only state that has exhausted its land
domain. The passion for giving away
land is general, and not the slightest re.
gard to the requirements of generations
to follow, so long rs the present is en-
riched. The time is not far distant
when every one wanting land for him
self or his children will have to buy il
from capitalists, spectators and rail
roads, and be compelled to pay whstev-
er they may ask. Then will come land.

According to Mr.. Trevelyan, the Eng
lish government has concluded to aban-
don the transportation Of Irish paupers
to this country. There is now a good
deal Of complaint of the fact that a
systematic importation of which labor
has been carried on for some time by
eastern manufacturers, in this country
TO whom they give wages upon which
American workingmen with families
would starve. The people of this coun-
try have always generously welcomed
the emigration ofthe poor from Europe
capable OF earning living, and have
never asked nor cared how much or
how little money such emigrants have
brought with them. But they protest
against the pauper importation like that
Of some Of the New England manufact-
urers, which is designed to drive honest
American labor out Of Unemployment. The
patriotism that denounces the assisted
immigration Of pauper Irish by the
British government will make no dis
tinction in favor of the importation OF
pauper Swedes and Italians by New
England manufacturers.

gan by making Col. Todd OF Carlisle its
temporary chairman recognizing the Gar
field element, Col. Todd having been a Gar
field elector in 1880. This was followed up
by the unanimous selection of John Cessna,
OF Bedford, as permanent chairmsn,
the stalwart element being embodied
in Cessna. On taking the Chair,
Mr.. Cessna said; Let all stal warts prove
themselves independents; let all independ-
ents show themselves stalwarts: and hence.

opponent being Col. T. J. Grimeson, at
present in the internal revenue service.
These arc the only offices TO be chosen this
year. The only special feature OF
the platform, is plan
which declares that after the national debt
is paid as fast as the conditions will permit,
the surplus revenue should be distributed
among the several states, on the sis OF pop
ulation to relieve them from local taxation
and to enable them TO educate
their people. Tn, other resolutions
declare for protection, advise an economical
administration OF the government, ask
congress to provide for the redemption of
the trade dollar, protest against pauper im-
migration, endorse the party and the presi-
dent and condemn, the Democracy Of the
State, pat civil service reform On the back,
and proclaim the necessity of certain re.

A student Of the reports Of the tenth
census has compiled table for the Bos-
ton Commonwealth for the purpose Of
showing in what state or states one has
the best chance for a long life. New
Hampshire seems to him to be the fav-
orite refuge ofgreen old age, for he finds
that one seventy of the inbab-
itants are at least 80 years old. The
proportion among native white males is
to 50, but the environment in New
Hampshire seems to have been even
more favorable to the preservation of
life in the other sex, for the proportion
among native white females is to
80. Other New England states do not
contain quite 80 many old persons. the
average proportion for the six being |
in l34, In the three middle states the
average proportions is | in 1872; in the
South Atlantic states in 2O3; the gulf
states ] in 300; Texas in 437; in the
great lake States | in 263; California
and Oregon in 500; in Colorado | in
1850; in seven states west Of the Missis-
sippi river the average proportion is
one in 433. In Iowa 334 persons yield
only one who has reached the age of
four score; in Minnesota, Nebraska, and
Kansas only one of these aged citizens
can be found ih a group that would
yield two in Iowa. So our student as
suming that long life is an inalienable
right of those who reside in New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, and Maiue, cries Flee
10 the mountains Of New England for
health and longevity" These figures
are misleading in some respects, princi-
pally from the fact that vast numbers of
the young of New England emigrste
west, leaving the old at home,
while most Of the western states are Itoo
young to contain many old people. Why
should We expect to find aged men in
Colorado or in the Gother states which
were almost uDinhabited few years
ago' There has not been time for:.them
to grow there, and very few of them
have gone there from other parts of the
country. The same statement can be
made concerning other states, but with
less and less force as we approach the
Atlantic coast from the west. When
some Of the western states named are
from one hundred to two hundred years
old, then will come this time for a fair
comparison Of longevity with those re-
ferred 10 as containing the largest por-
ton of old people.

Arrests for Land Frauds.

Duluth Special: At 10 a. M, on the l4th
Assistant United States Marshal Bracket,
of st. Paul, arrested r. c. Mitchell. editor
ted receiver OF the land Office there, on
charge Of completely In land frauds. The
government claims to have a very strong
case against Mitchell and II. l.. Gordon,
the latter also being party TO the conspira'
cy. Gordon lives in Minneapolis, is quite
wealthy AVID we'll known, and at one time
was member of the Minnesota legislature
A. X. Lovejoy, proprietor of shingle man
ufactory at Thompson station, twenty miles
from Duluth, was also a party to the
scheme, but as he has turned informer and
will be used by the government as wit.
ness, the prosecution will be direct against
Mitchell and Gordon.
Gov. Marshall worked up the case. The
specific charge is that Mitchell, Gordon and
Lovejoy employed twenty-seven men to
enter some 4, 40 acres OF land under the pre-
smptiOn law, make final proof and then
transfer the lands 10 them. Ofcourse, this
proceeding is Q violation Of the letter and
spirit OF the preemDtion law, though 1t is
not an unbeard-of practice in the North
west. Mitchell claims that his part in II
was innocent, and that his arrest is inspired
by wicked men who want to prevent his
confirmation as register.
Some thirty overt acts are challenged to
have been done to effect the OBJECT OF the
conspiracy. The laws required but one
overt act to make the crime complete. 1t
Is asserted that the scheme was for Gordon
to furnish the money, Lovejov to inspect
and select the lands, and Mitchell share
as partner.
The land embraced in this oontro versy
touches for the most part on Vermillior
lake. II Is estimated that there are 200,
OGO feet Of pine on the twenty seven claims
The government officials assert they will
push the case to the end. Gordon will be
arrested Monday, or as soon as warrant
can be served on him. 1t is alleged that
Lovejoy turned informer bee suse OF the fail.

some $500, which he Lovejoy) had invested.
and an attempt on the part of Mitchell and

merely TO prevent his taking the office 10
which he has been appointed.
