Spokane Falls Chronicle: Qu-in-e-mo'
se. an influential chief Of the Ceul
d'Alene Indians, this week perfected the
title to his 100 acres of land, located
between this city and Fort Ceur d'Alene
He was born on the land and has made
it his residence for the past seventy
years fully securing his land under the
homestead act. A final proof Of similar
character probably never took place in
the United States.
Our old friend, Hon. James Fergus, and
wife are back from their trip to California
and Oregon, and have taken abundant
notes Of their journey, which would be
exceedingly interesting to print. Pic
ture the surprise of Mr.. Fergus at being
unable TO procure any fresh salmon in
Portland, and as to fruit and vegetables,
he says he saw none as good as in the
Helena markets. The break in the rail-
road prevented, his going to Los Angeles
except by sea, and that route was respect
fully but emphatically declined.
A gentleman not a thousand miles from
here, who boasts q good deal Of what he
has seen and where he has been, has
made himself quite bore, as his extern
sive travels have not improved him very
much. The big "I' is too prominent
and his vanity Is too transparent. Not
very long ago he was discoursing very
elegantly about his travels and the great
men with whom he had come in contact
to bright and intelligent lady. Hold
ing q cane in his hand he said, "Why,
Miss -, this cane once belonged to
Sidney Smith," "Ah, indeed" says she,
land yet it is only stick, for all its as
sociations." We will do him the credit
to say that he saw the point and was
silent for awhile.
There Is q spot in your eye that is not
sensitive to light, part of the eye with
which you do not see. Follow the direc-
tions given and you will find it will be
new and interesting to q good many.
Shut your left eye, and with your right
one look steadily at the cross below,
holding the paper ten or twelve inches
from the eye. Now move the paper
slowly toward the eye, which mnst be
kept ON the cross. At certain distance
the other 6gure-the letter O-will sud-
denly disappear; but if you bring the
paper nearer it, it will come again into
view. You may not succeed in the ex-
pertinent on the first trial, but with .
little patience you can hardly fail. And
the suddenness which the black spot
yanishes and reappears is very striking.
