BUTTERMoRE disgorges. Next?

A FEW days ago prominent Chicago paper
in leading editorial called for the restriction
of immigration TO the United States for the
alleged reason that 1t was an encroachment
on the rights of the bread-winners of the
country, who found il very difficult to make
ends meet under the present circumstances
The writer makes the mistake into which al
those who hastily generalize easily fall. ii,
forgets that a big percentage of tho immi
grants bring with them means whereby Il
make start which sums materially add Il
the possibilities of the sections wherein they
settle. California paper mentions that las
week the immigrants numbered l,l50 ant
the secretary of the immigration associat ioi
estimates that they brought with them no
less than Sl,500,OO0, allowing each a capital o
$1,000. For this kind of immigrant the shore
of the United States cannot be made too hos
pitable.

The Question Of Ownership.

There seem to be two persons in the
state who are disputing the ownership of
the Republican party between them.
Messrs. Quay and Magee appear to I've that
party. They are gentlemen hailng from
the Southwestern corner of Pennsylvania,
and heretofore have been as close allies in
their political work, as they have been
neighbors in their residence. A dissolution
of their partnership has occurred, and each
is undertaking on his own account the die
tation which they have heretofore as
sumed in common. Their party looks
with placid interest upon the deter
mination of the question as to which of the
two owns it. II does not think of revolt.

How the New Guinea Dudes Dress.

From the Buffalo Commercials Advertiser.
The beaus and bellies of New Guinea are by
no means forbidding. Imagine man about
five feet nine inches in height, his body nice
brown color, covered, if he he masher, with
red earth and vanished with oil, his face
painted in different colors and piece OF
polished stone through his nose, his hair
long and frizzy, ornamented with bird-of-
paradise plumes and cockatoo feathers, his
teeth black or red, his ears weighed down
with huge ear ornaments, his waist COM
pressed to warpish proportions with a broad
belt of bark, shell armlets on his arms and
dogs teeth necklaces around his neck, a
breast ornament of boars' tnsks or pearl shell,
a gayly painted waist ribbon, with long
streamers in front and behind, anklets and
kneelets of colored flax and a small netted
bag over his shoulder-imagine all this and
you have typical New Guinean. The
women match the men. The young girls
wear abundance OF ornaments, but after mar
raige few. They are all profusely tattoOed
and wear colOred petticoat which reaches
to the knee.

The question of who owns a medical pre-
scription has been decided by the supreme
courts OF New York and Massachusetts,. The
substance of the decision is that the physi-
clan, in prescribing, gives the patient a
written order for drugs, and their delivery
terminates the operation. Tho druggist may
on his own responsibility, renew the drugs
for he is a merchant, and has a right to sell
drugs in any shape. He is not bound TO give
a copy of the prescription, nor even TO keep
1t, though he usually retains it as protection

reinforcements to come by water, as they
would thus be equally available for either

James river to us, and 1t was only after that
date that 1t became available. My plan,
however, was changed by orders from Wash

secretary Of war Informed me that Mcdowell
would advance from Fredericksburg, and di-
rected me TO extend the right Of the Army

THE BOOMERS.

The Would be Oklahoma Settlers Anxious
ly Awaiting Executive Action, But Pre-
pared to Move-General Hatch On Hand
ARKANSAS CITY, KAs., March 1S.-
Captain Couch has sent the following
dispatch to Sydney Clark and General
Weaver, the colonists' representatives at
Washington:
Thousands of men, women and children
are on the way. We patiently await an IN
vestigation by President Cleveland. Make
explanations to the Secretary OF War to the
WI Couch.
The boomers arrested and taken to
Wichita Wednesday were released on
giving SIS, 600 bonds for their appearance
at the September term of the United
States District Court. The boomers at
once returned to Arkansas City. AS there
are no boomers who participated in the
last movement here to arrest, General
Hatch will now have to resort to military
force. Within the next week it will be
known whether his orders arc to fire on
the settlers or not.
General Hatch has ordered Berry Bros
to vacate at once their ranch, which is on
the Oklahoma lands The cattle men are
constantly receiving dispatches from
Washington from parties who are acting
as their agents. They are discouraged,
and know that it is now only matter of
time when they will all have to vacate.
General Hatch received his first mes sage
from the new Secretary of War Wednes-
day, and is now, in all probability, acting
under his orders.
The President and Secretary Lamar are
now fully informed concerning the Okla
homa controversy, and the representa-
tives of the Colonists will continue to
push the question and urge that dcCi-
sion favorable to the settlers speedily be
reached. Captain Couch is in receipt Of
letter from Sidney Clark asking them
to move at once.
In conversation with n reporter, Cap
tain Couch said he did not wish to en-
barrass the Administration by a hasty
move, but on the other hand, if some
thing was not done soon other colOnists
would start, and, in justice to his follow
ers, he would also have to move. He
says there are about 500 claims now
staked out In Oklahoma, most OF them
belonging to members of his colony, who
are anxious to get there and commence
putting in a crop.

of one of the professors at the Columbian
University, in this city, dol suddenly
last week So sudden was the attack,
that party of young men who had been
invited by the deceased to call upon him
and play whist, kept their engagement
only to find their friend corpse. II was
learned that the deceased, who was em-
plOyed in the Patent Office, had been in
the habit of indulging in cigarettes
excessively, and inhalinS the smoke.
Two physicians held a consultation, and
decided that this practice had exercised
a depressing effect upon the action of the
heart and fastened death. Aortic re-
gurgitatiOn was given as the primary
cause of death, which had been in
creased by the indulgence of the de-
ceased in the inhalment of cigarette
smoke. Every thing possible was done
by the physicians for their patient, but
his constitution had been too surely
undermined, and in his last days he was
unable to rest quietly in bed, but main
tanned a sitting position.
