Unearned Land Grants.

WASHINGTON, May 80. Anticipating
an adjournment of Congress without
the enactment into law of several,
if any, of the bills declaring forfeitures of
lands granted to railroad companies, the
House Committee on Public Lands has
prepared report which will be submitted
to the House at the first opportunity. in
which they recommend the passage of a
joint resolution providing that until final
action is taken by Congress no patent shall
be issued by the Secretary of the Interior.
1t is expected that when Congress adj
journs the corporations will besiege the Sec
rotary for patents for lands that have not
been forfeited by act of Congress, and the
purpose of the joint resolution is to relieve
him of this pressure by suspending by law
the issuing of patents until Congress takes
final action upon the pending forfeiture bills.

An AnecdOte OF Bob IngersOll.

An AnecdOte OF Bob IngersOll.
Says a correspondent of the Chica-
go Mail:
President Clarke, of the Illinois
Central Railroad, told me a good sto-
ny about Bob Ingersoll the other day
that has not yet been in print. A long
time ago it was, when many counties
in the southern part of the state were
under township organizations, and the
supervisors sat as judges in the cases.
"Bob" was arguing case before one
Of these tribunals, of which the judg-
as were evidently more familiar with
crops than with law practice. He
brought all his eloquence to bear on
the point, that the case in question
was great injustice to his client and
should be thrown out of court. Con-
tinually returning to that argument,
he reached the climax with burst
that, as usual, carried everybody by
storm, ending with the same appeal
to ''throw it out of court, sirs! out of
court" 1t brought the judges up ''all
standing" and the presiding one slow
ly reached over, gathered up the pa
pers i'm the case from the table in
front of him, and as he gave them an
energetic Zip out of the window,
turned to lngersoll with relieved
smile, and said: "Bob, she's out!"

A recent number of the English
Mechanic records the completion OF
what is said to be the largest organ
in the world. 1t was built by Walck-
er, of Ludwigsburg, and has just been
placed IN the Cathedral Church of
Rigs. This colossal instrument meas
ures SO feet in width, 80 feet from
back to front, and is So feet high. 1t
contains no less than 6,S26 pipes,
dist rbuted amongst 124 sounding
stops. Most of the pipes are con-
structed of metal, but many are of
wood, especially the larger ones.
They are of all shapes and sizes, from
the giant tube Of 81 feet down to the
tiny whistle of only an inch. AL
most every variety of tone and pitch
can be produced by this skiing of in
struments;" the trumpet and from
bone, the fiddle and lutte, and many

Human power is not called upon to
supply the capacious lungs of this mu-
steal giant, the bellows-feeders beng
worked by means of waist-englne
of four, horse power. In glanclng
over the lists of stops, some fine
sounding names occur, and II the
sounds which they yield are as beau
tiful as their names would suggest, it
will be readily admitted that the in
strument is capable of producing
heavenly music. Among such names
are: Won Angelica, Harmonic, Eth
eria, Voix celeste, etc. 1t is open to
question, however, whether the above
is the largest organ in the world, and
it certainly is not if we take the total
number of pipes as standard OF COM
parison. The Albert Hall organ In
Montreal contains :, 42S pipes and
Ill stops, not to mention the Roose-
xelt organ in Garden City, New York,
with 1901 pipes ll5 sounding stops,
and perhaps one or two others might
be mentioned as containing more
pipes, but fewer stops Elk.
