Growth OF our Country.

Few things 50 impress us with the
extent and growth of our country as a
careful look at the annual Reports OF
the u. ). Land Office The last one of
these shows that the number OF acres OF
land sold by the government the last
year, was 20, ,S34 OIL, about twO-ffths
of which, OF II, ,US2, SIS, were In Dakota.
OF the remainder, 3,I0j,Sl5 werO in
Nebraska, Lott, ,iGS i'll Minnesota, and
about 1.OOO, 900, each, i'll California,
Louisiana and Washington Territory,
with smaller amounts In other states
and territories.
These figures show how rapidly the
great West is being settled. And they
show, too, that the tide of immigration
flows strongly to the northwest, and
especially to Dakota In 1881, only T.
500 acres were sold IN that Territory.
But i'll 1882. the building of the North
ern Pacific u Manitoba Railroads in-
creased the sales to some 4,jJO,OUO
acres, an amount which was doubled in
1888, and increased already, by about
fourth in 1884 Though Dakota has an
area of %, 424 900 acres, which is near
ly a fourth greater than all of Great
Britain and Ireland, the increase of its
population is SO rapid and great, that
in few years, at the present raJe of its
growth, the entire territory will be
comparatively occupied. We say COM
paratively, but it is only comparatively;
for if the whole were as densely settled
as Massachusetts (22l to the square
mile), it would contain 4 population of
over $4,000, 900 people
To show the vast extent of our public
lands two years ago, the unsurveyed
lands were 9S3. .063, ,759 acres, which is
150, 900, 900 more than all that had been
surveyed up to that date; so that still
there is room for millions of settlers be-
fore the land Will be full. To say no.
thing of the surveyed lands which are
not vet sold, the unsurveyed lands of
the United States would make 20 states
of the size of Michigan, OF 80 states of
the size of Connecticut.
What an appeal do such facts make
to the patriot, to the mOralist, to the
philanthrOpistl What an argument for
spreading right views of personal purity
and integrity, and of temperance and
Sabbath observance, and of the family
and right family instruction and train
ing.

Henry Cisy's style In Congress.

Mr.. Clay made a good Secretary of
State; but his place was i'll Congress
for he was formed by nature for popu-
lar orator. He was tall and thin, with
rather small head and gray eyes,
which peered forth less voluminOusly
than would have been expected in one
possessing eminent control of language.
HIS nose was straight, his upper lip
long and his under jaw light. His
mouth. of generous width, when he was
silent and curying upward at the cor
ners as he spoke or smiled, was singa-
larly graceful. indicating more than
any other feature the elastic play of his
mind. When he enchalned large audi
ences his features were lighted up by a
winning smile, the gestures OF his long
arms were graceful and the gentle ac-
cents of his mellow voice were persua-
sive and winning. Yet there has never
been more imperious despot in politi-
cal affairs than Mr.. Clay. He regarded
himself as the head.centre of his party
"L'etdt, c'eSt mOi"- and he wanted
everything utilized for his advancement.

The capital city of Cuba Is built on
the northwest coast, that situation
being chosen because the channel be,
tween Cuba and the mainland of North
America was the most convenient pas
sage for merchant vessels bound 10 Eu-
rope from Mexico. Havana, however,
is not only the principal city, but has
long leen the greatest commercial en-
pOrium of the West India islands. The
shape of the town, like the harbOr, Is
semi-ciTcular. Like many other towns
within the tropics, it appears at a dis
tance rs if embossed in 4 wool of palm
and other trees Of great novelty and
beauty of form. Ii has been truly said
that both the Old and New World meet
in Cuba. Havana seems like a piece of
Spain tnat has drifted into the Atlantic.
Approaching the city from Europe or
America the eye is riveted by the yari-
ETY. and brillancy of the panorama On
one side are Notifications, resembling
those of VI alta, hewn out of dark gray
rock, and along their parapets may be
seen lines of soldiers IN white uniforms,
the ancient Spanish banner, red and
gold waving IN the passing currents of
air. Below there, along the shore to
the right of the entrance to the han bOr
toward the rampant spreads the town,
parti colored, like Damascus. The
houses are blue, pink, scarlet, yellow
with masses of green palms cleaning
above them and shading the streets and
squares with their broad fatheIly fronts,
the whole city basking i'll the sun and
raaaUnfalincr T,nUphnr .f
SNOWY articles of porcelain and glass on
stall of fancy wares. In the harbOr
float Old-fashiOned gondolas, not black
like those of Venice, but brilliant and
beautiful. Altogether Havana has "a
peculiar character and a romantic life
unlike any city in Europe or America,
The riches and magnifcence of Havana
have frequently excited the cupidity of
invaders, and it has been therefore, re-
peatedly subject to attacks by hostile
armamentS. 1t was taken 10y French
pirate in 1868; afterwards by English
and French buccaneers, and sIbsequnt-
ly by the British under the Duke of
Albemarle, III the reign of George Ill.
Ii was however restored To Spain by
England at the beginning of the year
1863. But the value and Importance OF
the city, as also of the whole island Was
rated SO high rs already limited, not
only on account of the treasures it was
found to contain, but still more from
great political and commercial consider
ations, as it was the key to the Spanish
possessions in South America and the
harbor in which all the galleons and
merchant vessels were accustOred to
assemble before they departed On their
voyage 10 Europe.

love, George Duff, who, looking both
handsome and happy, was leaning over
low chair occupied by pretty girl in
bridal splendOr.
A cold chill ran through Effie Mac.
gregor's veins. The girl-wife looked
SO bright, SO happy, 50 conteHted, while
she-Effie-was miserable and alone, a
governess, dependant, with no one
save far-off Hester to care for her.
The blue eyes grew misty as she
thought of her folly. Like scene sud-
denly revealed, she realized exactly the
part that Captain NerSchoyle had had
IN running her life. She saw clearly
that she mad thrown away an honest
heart, that she had indeed sacrificed the
substance for the shadow. But what
avalled it to revert mournfully to the
/ past-she who must So bTayely try to
face the lonely future ?
Mr. Duff came forward frankly to
Ellie. He held her hand perhaps sec
ond longer than he need have done; and
then she would have turned away.
But he was not To be repulsed. Her
pale sad face Smote him to the heart; he
guessed her story, and his whole desire
was to utter one sentence i'll her ear I;
while the bright-eyed Mrs. Duff gazed
with some curiosity upon Mr.. Duff's
newly-found friend.
He asked after Hester, and then re-
ferred lightly " herself Was she well
and happy?
Hester was in England, and she her
self was we'll and-happy.
And, Ellie, have you not re!entedl"
he asked.
Relented Was he mad ? She looked
at him Indignantly.
II have never changed" +" said George
Duff. 81 loved you from the first day
| saw you, Etfie. l love you still. |
made up my mind. despite your deser
tion, that, if | did not marry you |
would never narTy any other woman"
And your resolution broke down ?'
said Ellie.
''How lr lie inquired. "What do
you mean ="
That you married some one else,
after all"
Then Effie found out her mistake.
The pretty bride WAS Georges cousin
the lucky bridegroom was not Mr.. Duff.
Six months later he and Ellie were
married and Hester crowned her sis
ter's happiness by taking up her abode
with them until she changed it for one
Of her own.
Ellie looks back now and blesSeS the
day that she did not marry Captain YER
schoyle, though he is an Earl at pres
ent, and his neglected Countess does
a
than lovely hOme-hke Ardloch. She
feels that she has been proyidentially
guided To her own safe haven again, ,and
shudders when she recalls how weakly
she at one time strayed from il. For,
AZ she once said to Hester
There are too many Captain Yer
schoyles in the world, and too few
George Dutfs.'

Birthdays in Germany are never neg
lected. From the first one, when the
infant receives the pre- sents from the
god-parents, instead of at the time OF
the baptism, the thing goes on from
year to year, and peoples of all ages and
ranks consider themselves sighted II
even an acquaintance does not duly APP
pear with the usual congratulatory Of
fering of flowers, etc. The custom Is
really tax to many, for all members of
a household consider themselves em;i-
tied to valuable gifts on their bin In LAYS.
Even servants expect TO be substantial
ly remembered, and as on their en-
trance into the establishment they are
legally obliged to render a full account
of the time and place of their birth,
there is no pleading ignorance as an ex
cuse for neglecting TO notice the day.

crossed two pay veins, one on the

wider, but not so rich. Mr.. High
tower intends to sink on the lead.
Billy Gill keeps his mill in oper-
alton all the time, and also the
mine. You can hear the whistle
Of his engine every day, and it
makes one think he is not a hun
dred miles from a railroad.
Watson, Feast and Rorker have
reached 90 feet with their shaft on

the Copper Stain mine. They
have gone through a 80 foot rinch
and are now getting out some ore
that looks well, but they have had
no tests as yet. This is the deep
est shaft in Nogal Camp, and the
owners intend to keep sinking. IF
other mine owners would do the
same, we would be producing sill

Dry Gulch will produce as much
or more gold bullion this year than
any Gulch in Lincoln county.

county, for an assault upon the
wife Of Aragon, the red-handod
murderer. Evidence having come
to the knowledge Of members OF
the grand jury that the woman
had perjured herself for a purpose
the Indictment was Withdrawn.

dictlnent had been returned against
Brent, j. P. Victory, Il Santa Fee
