completion of railroads to which grants Of
public lands have been made, provides that
where land grants have been made to any

tion of railroad west of the Mississippi

not been complied with on the part of tho
grantee its successors, or assigns, and the
cause of forfeiture, If such there be, has not
been enforced by the United States, and
since tho tho failure to perform tho
conditions and the accruing Of tho
cause of forfeiture, there shall
have been any further prosecution of tho
work of completing such railroad, in good
faith and with intent. to complete the same,
successors, or assigns, there shall be further
extension of the time in which such railroad
line may be completed to three years from
the date OF the passage of this bill. 1t also
provides that the work of completing any such
roads may be done either by the grantees,
their SUCCESSORS and assigns or such parties
in interest, whether creditors or otherwise,
as shall find the completion of the road neces-
sary for the protection of capital invested in
the construction of such road
The bill provides, further, that this act
shall be construed as notification to all such
persons that the United States will declare,
and by this act does deare, all lands covered
by its provisions absolutely forfeited to the
United States, should the conditions of the
grants not be complied with within the three
years extension.

They Need the Hundred Thousand.


Senator Malone introduced in the senate
yesterday a joint resolution for the relief of
William b. Isaacs & Co., of Richmond, Va.
The resolution has reference to the joint
claim of the Exchange Bank of Virginia, the
Bank of Virginia, and the Farmers Bank of
Virginia for the restoration of 100000 in
specie, seized at Augusta Ca, in August,
1865, by Gen. Wild, aud now held as a spe-
cial deposit in the United States treasury,
which money was removed by the banks
from Richmond on tho day preceding
the evacuation of that city by the confederate
forces, and after having been transported to
several places for security, had been finally
deposited in bank in Augusta. 1t was seized
by Gen. Wild, in charge of the Freedmen's
bureau, OH tho ground that, although it was
originally the private property of the banks,
it had become, through some contract or
dealing with the confederate states, the
property of that government, and having
been abandoned on the dissolution of the
said government was at the time of seizure
the property of tho United States. The reso-
luton provides for the consideration of the
claim by the court of claims.

You Cannot Buy 1t in the
Is Bar-rOOmSo

What an absurd idea it is to send
q sick man, with an ailing stomach,
a torpid liver, and impoverished
blood, to a bar-room to swallow
some stimulating stuff, and call it
medicine!
An enormous amount Of mischief
is constantly done by men who
thus trihe with themselves. Instead
of healing their diseases, they make
them worse. Instead of gaining
strength, they only acquire the
disgraceful habit of tipping.
1t is a point worth noting in con-
nection with Broums Ion BiHeys,
that this valuable medi inc is not
sold in bar-rooms, and will'not be.
1t is not a drink. 1t is a remedy.
1t is not made to tickle the palate
of old topers. 1t is made to heal
disease. 1t is not made to promote
the good fellowship Of a lot of bib
ulous fellows standing around a bar
and asking each other, "What will
you take?" 1t is true tonic; an iron
medicine, containing the only prepa-
ration Of iron which can safely and
benefcially be taken into the system.

Mr.. Ferguson who played "Ths Dude"
at the Opera House here Thursday night
deserted the company early yesterday morn.
Ing and left the city for New York. The
other members Of the company could, Of
course, not proceed on their tour and were
compelled to remain in The Halliday
awaiting Instructions from the manager
who was IN New Orleans. The reason
Ferguson deserted was that he thought
the manager was making too much money
out of the play more than he was, and he
the owner of the play, too. But he had
made five years contract with Manager
Kelley and the summary and despicable
manner in which he broke the contract
merits general condemnation. The COM
pany was doing we'll and he had received
his salary regularly, but he refused to 60
on the stage here Thursday night unless he
was Immediately paid 800, which W
barely due him for his last weeks services.
His refusal WAS the cause of the delay in
commencement Of the performance, which
probably all in the house noticed. Manager
Shields was much mortified at the unrea.
soning subbornness of the man and at first
refused to permit the money to be advanced
to him; but after reflection he recognize d
for the first time the helplessness
of theatrical manager in the
hands of an actor and conceded to the un.
reasonable demand of the sulking ''stsr,"
in order that the curtain might rise. The
play proceeded all right, and the rest of the
company thought Ferguson sppeased at
least little while, but when the company
started to leave on the early morning train,
the "dude" was not to be found, and invps-
tgation proved that he had Withdrawn his
baggage from at of tie company and
checked it for New York, instead of the
point where the company was next to APP
pear All expostuatons were of ne avail;
Mr.. "Duie" snd lady left for New Yor,,
and the rest of the company remained here,
for they could not proceed with the show
without the "dude.' The company has
dome we'll during the entire tour and its
disruption is due to this very fact, rather
than to lack of funds. But Manager
Kelly holds the right under his contract
to Use the play for five years and he will
probably ere long find some one who can
personate the "dude" just as well as Mr..
Ferguson did.
