PUBLIC LANDS.
The Telling LaboIs of the Com
mittee Having Their For
feiture as an Ultimatnm.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The members
of the public lands committee are begin
ming to wear a very satisfied look. They
set to work at the beginning of the ses-
sion to forfeit all the land grants in the
country and they have pretty nearly
succeeded in doing SO. Indeed it was
understood that the committee was Gre
ated for this special purpose. Mr.. Cobb,
of Indiana, was very active IN the last
congress in his war upon land grant
railroads and insisting that the measured
grants be forfeited. Mr.. Payson, of ILL.,
nois, devoted his time during the recess
between the last congress and this to in
vestigating the subject. The work Of the
committee has been pretty well done.
1t promptly brought in bills forfeiting
everything that could possibly be con-
strued as unearned. millions of acres
which were claimed by the road as hav-
ing been earned being included in the
forfeiture bill. OF these but two or three
have been passed by the house. The
week of the Republican convention was
devoted to this subject and quite success
fully.
We have forfeited, said Mr.. Cobb, the
chairman of the committee, talking to
your correspondent on this question,
more than rs, 5,OOO,O 900 acres already in the
house, and l think we shall get the re-
mainder of the work off our hands with
in the next two or three weeks.
"What other forfeiture bills are now
remaining for action, Mr.. Ccbb?'
"The Northern Pacific and the Back
bone land grants are the most important
now remaining"
"And do you expect to he able to pass
these?"
81 think we shall. though l look for a
pretty hard fight on both Of Them
"Have any ofthese forfeiture bills been
passed by the senate?'
81 think moi" he replied, with smile.
"And do you expect them to pass that
body?"
"Well / don't know" he answered.
"That is their business over there. If we
pass the bills and send them to them, we
have performed OR duty"

seemed to think the minister talked
loud, cause all deaf people talk loud, and
the minister thought the same. and they
was having it pretty loud. you bet.
They talked abont religion and politics,
and everything, and pa mopped his hald
head with his handkerchief, and the
minister got red in the face; and finally
pa told the minister he needn't yell loud
enough to loosen the shingles. as he

minded son of Belial, and then ma she
see it was time to stop it, and she went
down stairs on a hop, skip and jump, and
told them both that there was mistake,
and chat nobody was deaf, and then the
minister said he understood from las
little boy that pa was hard of hearing,
and pa sent for me, but was scarce.
Don't you think a boy shows good
sense, sometimes, in not being very
plenty around when they yearn for him?
Sometimes l am numerous, and then
again am about as few as any of the
boys. Well, there was no harm done,
but pa and the minister have their
opinion of each other. Say, what do

boy began to husk some strawberries in
a box.

What am thinking of is where you will

hard.
"Here you have played a mean joke
on truly good preacher, and your own

"Our doctor attended to them until they
were both well, and didn't charge cent,

money enough from the neighbors to set
the old colored lady up in laundry,
with regular washing machines, and
wringers, and everything, and she hires
three women to help her, and the color
ed boy is the cashier, and collects the
clothes and delivers them in nice little
hand cart that 1 borrowed from print,

money hand over fist, doing washing for
about twenty families. But the meanrst

Here comes the colored woman with
new clothes on, looking healthy as any

out the back door and wandered off dOwr
the alley, as contented with himself as
though he had never done wrOns
thing in all his life.

A Milwaukee politician met an Irish
laborer and told him he ought to sup

it. The next day the laborer met the

And sunlight then transmutes to silver all;
And fairy scenes in moonlight weirdly gleam.

And ring fields with riches team, -,
And fruitful Gaatin Valley Eden

When joyous spring throws off her robes of white,
Ando the first of Flora's lovely band
With perfumed breath to close the wntry night;
Then vale and coud-wrapt peak are born
And alv'ry brook and spring are flowing free;
And southern birds their ionehushed songs renew;
And bursting buds make fragrant bush and tree;
Then, lovely Galatn Valley you rapture
Like dowerd brides come summers gorgeous train,
And blended wealth and beauty fill the eye;
The whispering bough, the waving grass and grain
The purple SUBMITS in the azure sky;
The crystal rivers murm'ring on their way
Through grove and glen, by field and cottage door;
While lights and shadows blend and interplay
In rainbow colors all the landscape oer;-

From autumn scenes, soothe and thrill the heart,
All melodies The fading flowers tell

this difficulty, it has been decided by the

with President Arthur, to put off the open

will be nothing lost by this, as demands by
exhibitors for additional space are still
coming in, and the arrangements for the

interest of the occasion will also be increased
by the fact that the Presidents of Mexico and
