on the record Of thel land ONCE, i

appearing on the record of the land Office, is
untrue.
James Stevenson Of the United States geolog
zeal survey bears the following testimony IN
the letter to Senator Logan:
Having had my attention called to statements
in the Congressional Record of q recent date,
indirectly charging You with frauduienty at
tempting to deprive the Zuni Indians OF New
Mexico Of their lands, beg leave to say that
am familiar with the facts and circumstances
from a thorough investigation CT the subject,
made at the request of tie corresponding sec
rotary of the interior, nd take pleasure IN
stating that the allegations thus made, are
grossly unjust to you az wei as Maj. Tucker
and his associates and wholly without founda-
ton.
The last letter of the series is from Secretary
Teller to Gen Logan. In it he says:
There is not the slightest evidence that any
wrong was intended or done by the parties 70
the entries, or any law violated The land
was public land at the time these entries We're
made and as such was open to entry by the
public The gentlemen who made entries
were qualified to enter such lands and had a
perfect right to do so, and they neither VIC
lated the law nor the rights of any parties
whatever in SO doing. ! asked the executive
order extending the reservation without I'M
derstanding all the facts at the time. 1t gives
me pleasure to make this statement in view
of allegations to the contrary which have
been made.
LOGAN GOES on.
When Mai. tucker ana his associates were
attacked through newspapers, said Logan,
and charged with interfering with the rights
of Indians and doing great wrong, de
Tended them in letter through the public
press and otherwise as having violated no
law, and as having committed no fraud on
Indians or any one else In that defense
/ asked the question: "H soldier
like Capt Lawton could not locate
homestead or pre-eIlption, or whatever
the location was within the distance he had
to the Indian resery alton, tell me how many
miles soldier should have to go away from
a reservation in order to comply with the
law?" This / did in their behalf. now
stand by what did then. If this be a crime
or fraud, my enemies can make the most of
it These men are all honorable men, Capt
Lawton was a gallant soldier from Indiana
He served all through the war with great
credit to himself and honor to his country
Mai Tucker is my son-in-law. He is agentle-
man and a man who would not wrong any one
presume the wrong in me is that Maj. Tucker
is part of my family, and although he is inno-
centof any wrong in the premises, haseless
excuse was made to assail me through him, If
their object was to draw me into his defense
they have succeeded, and when any one thinks
have not manhood enough to defend openly
my relative or friend when wrongfnlly assailed,
he mistakes me. This, sir, is a full answer to
this false, unprovoked and malicious Islander,
which place on record, where all may have
access to it if desired

LIrERATuRE OF THE FACE
How to Read and Interpret Character in
the Various Features.

How to Read and Interpret Character in
the Various Features
Forney's Progress
Observe how, when the shrewd pal
mist is reading the lines of hand he
scans the face with almost equal inter-
est: These learned people know how
the soul dwells in the eye; and the abil-
ity to understand its language is Unborn
with most folks without having to study
it, though extremely sensitive persons
have told me that more power of dis
elimination rested in their hands than
they could read from every feature of
he face, the fingers being so full Of
vision that they could feel a color with
out seeing it; so full of nerves that an
impression was instantaneous and could
be relied upon; so full of life that when
their possessor was in love they tingled
with affectionate intoxication.
1t is said that very quiet eyes that
impress and embarrass one with their
repose signify self command, but also
much complacency and some conceit.
Restless eyes that cannot look one
steadily in the face denote deceitful,
designing mind. Eyes in which the
white has yellowish tinge and is
streaked with reddish veins, prove
much of strong passions, and hasty
tempers. Very blue eyes bespeak
mind inclined to coquetry; grey eyes
signify dignity, intelligence, aud excel
lent reasoning faculties greenish eyes,
falsehood and fondness for scandal
A malicious mind is often indicated by
greenish eyes. Black eyes show pas
sionate, lively temperament, and often
times a most deceitful disposition;
brown eyes are generally tender and true
indicating kind and happy disposition.
OF the nose. A Roman nose denotes
an eterprising, business-ike character;
a long nose is a sign of good sense; q
perfectly straight nose indicates a pure
and noble soul, unless the eye contra
diets it; mex vetrousse signifies a
spirit of mischief, wit and dash; large
nose generally indicates large mind and
good heart; very small nose good nat
ure, but lack of energy.
Thick lips generally mean either
great genius or great stupidity; very
thin lips, cruelty, righteousness. false
hood. Dimples on the cheek are known
as the abodes of roguery, and in the
chin, of Cupid and his pranks.
A lean face speaks more Of intelli-
gence than fat face, generally speak
ing, and they do say, beware of a full,
round and greasy 'ace-it means
treachery
Feasibility is accompanied 10y an erect
posture, open nostrils, moist temples;
displaying superficial veins which stand
out and throb under the least excite
ment, large, unequal, ill-arranged eyes,
and equal use of both hands.
A genius may be expected from medi-
UNI stature, blue-gray or brown eyes,
prominent and large forehead, with
temples little hollow under lip slight
ly retiring, a fixed, attentive look, and
habitual inclination of the head either
backward or forward.

The report that the Canadian Pacific would
remove their offices from the transfer at st
Vincent to Emerson is correct The Manitoba
about year ago erected buildings at the trans
fer and allowed the Canadian Pacific to occupy
portion, in order to facilitate the transfer of
freight The action of the latter road in deter
mining to remove to Emerson will put the Man

that public attention is enlisted in be-
half of preserving forests and growing
trees that are useful and almost indis-
pensable for other purposes.

The desertion bill which has
passed both houses of congress
and has become law, provides
that soldiers may have the charge of de-
sertion removed from their records, and
honorable discharges issued, with back
pay and pensions upon the same terms
as if no such charge had ever been made
if they were properly absent from their
commands when their companies were
mustered out, and therefore failed to be
discharged with the rest, but had served
six months or more, or up to the expi-
ration of their terms of enlistment, or
up to May /, 1865, or were unable to
serve out their terms by reason of
wounds or sickness; second, those who,
after such desertion was charged, re-
turned to duty, and served through the
war: third, those who absented them
selves from hospitals while suffering
from wounds or sickness contracted in
the service, and on recovery voluntarily
returned to duty and served until dis
charged, or who died from wounds or
disease while so absent and before the
muster out of the company; fourth,
those who absented themselves without
proper authority, and while so absent
died of wounds or disease contracted IN
the service before the muster out of
their commands. Proofs must be furn-
ished with the application, which must
be made within five years, and filed
with the secretary of war.

The death of Paul Morphy, the IA
nous chess player, will recall cele-
brity, which was once widespread, but
had sunk into plying oblivion for
mental infirmity. At the time when
the young man appeared unheralded at
a chess congress in New York, and as
tonished the public with his marvellous
feats of memory and speeill skill, which
were afterward repeated in Europe to
the discontinue Of the champion of the
game, he was regarded as a great man,
and his exceptional skill taken as proof
of intellectual strength. Wiser iudg
ment, however, was soon compelled to
place it with the abnormal develop
ments of mathematical prodigies and
lightning calculators. who are often
hardly up to the average standard of
mental power in other directions, and
this was farther confirmed by the in
sanity or imhecility, which overlook
him.

The practicabiIity of the underground
system of telegraphy has been conclu-
sively demonstrated at Washington.
Some months ago the Government con-
nected the Capitol with the Depart
ment buildings by wires for both tele-
graphic and telephone purposes laid
under ground. Numerous and thorough
experiments have proved that this sys-
TEN is an efficient substitute for the
overhead system, and the superintend-
ent of public buildings and grounds
has recommended it's general adoption
and the removal of all the present wires
and poles as soon as possible. This
only sustains the result of previous ex-
periments with underground wires
elsewhere, but every such showing
serves to help on the reform.
