McCullough's Melancholy.

New YORK, Oct. pa writer In the
Times says: A number of Nice ullough's old
friends went day or two ago to Blooming
dale and found him lying in bed, utterly
oblvious to everything passing about him.
His hand was doubled up under his cheek
and he lay on his side. He paid not the
slightest attention to anything said to him.
His eyes were directed straight at the ceiling
and no word or movement by those present
caused them to wander away from the point
at which they we're vacantly leveled. Even
when fly alighted upon his forehead and
crept about his eyelids, he paid not the
faintest heed, and did not stir when one of
the visitors brushed the insect away. His
face had plenty Of color and he looked a.
we'll as when In the full flush Of strength.
The physicians say he will not change in
this respect to any material extent up to the
last moment Of life. He Is now in about
The last stages Of disease, and the melan.
cho'y end may arrive at any moment.

There appears to be no objection to the

am led TO believe that the recent reports
Of special land agents rejecting upon the
action Of the .Montans improvement Com
pany In Montana has led to the formulation
Of these rules and regulations. Whatever
may be the result Of the investigation as It
affects the company, trust 1t will lead to no
change or modification Of the rules and reg
ulations now In force relating 10 cutting
timber on mineral lands. These rules afford
ample protection to the government and the
settler, II rigidly enforced.
Ii the proposed circular Is adopted, allow
me to conjecture the possible result on an
other point OF view. 1t Is claimed that the
Montana Improvement Company has . con-
tract with the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, BY which 1t has the exclusive
right to cut timber upon the odd sections In
Montana, (being the land grsnt of the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad Company II 1t is
true that the railroad company's grant was
grant in praesenti, aud that under the grant
no forfeiture could or would occur without
congressional action, the result would follow
that until forfeiture was declared, the Mon
tana Improvement Company by virtue of its
contract, would have the exclusive right to
cut, saw and sell wood and lumber in Mon
tana; in other words, monopoly would be
created and protected In the Montana I'm
provement Company, when the very purpose
and design OF the special agents report was
to prevent 1t.
In conclusion, hope no new experiment
will be tried at the expense of the people In
the mineral regions. The timber In Mon
tana is not Of the kind or character to be
probably exported, and could never be used
so advantageously to the government as in
the developE ent Of the mineral resources of
the country.

He Suicided on Barbed Wire

DENVER, Oct. 23.-This morning the dead
body Of Jacob Kaufman, well known and
respectfully connected musician of this city,
was found on the prairie near the Orphans
Home. The body was entirely nude, the
back, arms, sides and legs being horribly
scarified and covered with blood. Investi.
CATION revealed the fact that after undress-
Ing, Kaufman forced his way back and
forth through the barbed wire fence eight
times, As shown by the blood and pieces of
skin on the wire At different places and the
hand marks on the sand beneath. The skin
on nearly every part Of his body hung In
shreds. The coroner is satisfied that Kaufr.
mann became suddenly insane, and will
hold no inquest.

New York special, abiding TO the reported
sale Of seat In the Stock Exchange for

Not few Of them who last summer were
deep In debt, or about 10 take down their
signs In despair, are now out of tho slough
and living like princes in ptown hotels
and club rooms. Under the exhiliration of
prolonged bull market, large number of
new men, with more or less capital, have
come into the street to hang up their signs,
expecting to reap Q golden harvest. The
craze Is also bringing into the vortex Of
speculation numerous lady customers, who,
after years Of toll, have made some money
by keeping boarding houses, and now are
persuaded to try their luck. There can be
no question that much of the stimulus Just
now applied to this remarkable speculation
comes from Chicago and the West.

THE PUBLIC LANDS.
Everybody to Have an Equal Chance at Them
in the Future.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-It is stated at tbs
Land Office that under the present practice
of that office, when public lands within q
township are opened TO entry through the
filing of plals of survey, there was q rush of
spectators and land grabbers, who often
succeeded in securing the best lands, to the
great injury of bona fde settlers moreover,
this class of persons were able frequently to
learn when the plats Of survey were to be
received in advance of settlers, who were
placed at . disadvantage. To correct this
abuse, as far as possible, the Commissioner
Of the Land Office has issued the following
instructions to the local land officers:
Hereafter, when an approved plan of sur
vey OF any township is transmitted to you
BY the Surveyor General, yeu will not regard
such plat as officially received at and filed in
your office until the following regulations
have been complied with:
l. You will forthwith post . notice In a
conspicuous place in your Office specifying
the township that has been surveyed and
stating the plat or survey will be fled in
your Office on day to be fixed by you and
named In the notice, which shall not be less
than 30 days from the date of such notice,
and that on and after such day you will be
prepared to receive applications for the entry
of lands In such towns.
2. You will also send . copy of such no.
tice to the postmasters of postofices nearest
the land and copy to each clerk of court
of record in your district, with q request
that the same be conspicuously posted In
their respective offices.
y. You will furnish the public press in
your district with copies of such notice as q
matter of news.
4. You will give such further publicity of
the matter in answer to inquiries (for which
you will charge no fee) and otherwise, IS
you may be able to do without mourning
advertising expenses.

THE MARQUIS OF LoRNE.
Attacked by a Mob on Account of His Ad-
vaneed Ideas.

LONDON, Oct. 24.-It is now evident that
the parliamentary campaign will not pass of
without serious roting in some quarters, as
the party feeling, which already runs high,
daily grows more bitter. The Marquis of
Lorne, liberal candidate for Hampstead, went
to Brentford, town seven miles west Of
London, to deliver . campaign speech, and
while addressing the electors, mob assault
ed him with rotten eggs, and some of them
gaining the platform, smashed his hat over
bis head. The supporters of the Marquis
rushed to bis rescue and fight ensued. The
noble lord now became so thoroughly fright
ened that he hastily departed from the scene,
ran through the streets in drenching rain
toward the way station and Immediately de-
parted for London. Meanwhile the fight
continued, the supporters of the Marquis
being severely handled and becoming dis.
couraged by the desertion of their champion,
they retired, leaving their contestants mas
ters of the field. They seized the platform
and passed resolutions condemning the pol.
Icy of the Liberals.
When the Queens son In law made his
appearance as Liberal candidate for Hamp-
stead, 1t occasioned considerable surprise,
and when he put forward In bis address ad-
vanced radical opinions, the surprise greatly
increased. He adopted Chamberlsin's pro-
gramme of free education and ADVOCATED
immediate disestablishment in Scotland.
He championed the principles of free land
league and the encouragement of the sub
division of land. He suggested that the sale
of large estates en- bloc should be subject to
asSs.y s~~-sr~n, ~nIIc the safes OF land TO be
divided into small lots, should be left duty
free. As to the House of Lords, he hardly
went so far as Hampstead radicals desired,
being Of the opinion that the venerable in
stitution might be amended by the infusion
of elected members. He favored the extern
sion of local self government to Ireland.
