THE COUNT OF THE CASH.

Hotc Much There Is in the National Bon
lyman.
Washington special to the Omaha Herald:
''In round numbers there are S200000,000 in
cash and nearly S40O,000000 in bonds and trust
funds in the treasury vaults said ex-Treas-
urer Wyman to-day. Although he appeared
pale and nervous he stated he should not re-
main until the count was finished, but proceed
to Omaha without waiting for the commit
tees report. Everybody is confident the cash
will be found all right.
He exhibited today some queer letters
which he has received since the last election,
generally relating to the disposition of the
money contained in the treasury. He received
a letter from an Indiana farmer, who said that
he understood the democrats intended clean
ing out the treasury, but before that should
$4,000 should be sent him in order that he
might buy a farm. He knew Mr.. Wyman
would be willing to oblige him with this
amount, particularly If he felt that the demo-
Gratis could not be trusted with the treasury
and its funds.
Another letter was from an Ohio man, who
said that he learned from different papers
that $4,000 900 lay in the treasury which be-
claimed. He was of the opinion that some Of
this amount rightfully belonged to him. A
rood many years ago, while travelling in Ken
tucky, he had sent $40 to his wife in letter,
hut nothing had ever been heard of either let
ter or remittance and he presumed the money
was in the treasury. Besides, his wifes uncle
went to California in 1859. and promised to
leave her some money. The uncle had since
died. but nothing had been heard of the leg
acy. which no doubt part of the I'M
claimed S4O,0O0.OOO. He desired the treasurer
to look the matter up and turn over to him
what was rightfully his own.

senate that they succeeded in oct.
ting the prohibitory legislation asked
for. Gen. Dow was not pleased with
the measures that were passed. There
wore not teeth enough in them to suit
him. and yet they increase the penal
ties for liquor-sclling, making it i'm
prisonment as well as fine for tho
first otfense. Then if a man who IS
drunk is arrested and given term of
Imprisonment he can be released if he
will only disclose where he got
his liquor. The dump" or chopper, 4"
or any contrivance which the rum
seller uses to destroy his liquors is evil
dence of Illicit sales and can be used
against him. Even the watchmen who
stand at the door to give warning at
the approach of officers can be ar
rested us partners in the crime of rum
selling. Drumming for liquors is pro-
hibited, and so is the advertising of
liquors in the newspapers. Still Gen.
Dow is not satisfied with this legisla-
ton, and as one of the results he has
cut himself adrift from the republican
party, through whose agency alone
prohibition has become the fixed policy
VI tlt oltlt.
Gen. Dow and Mr.. Munson are de-
termined to make hot work of it in
their present crusade, of crushing out
the traffic before the national encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public takes place here next June,
which it is estimated will bring here
fifty thousand people from all over
the country. The Law and Order
league in waging their battle are u.s.
ing all the weapons of procedure they
can to annihilate rumselhng. Mr..
Munson is willing to sacrifice his life
in the conflict. He was characterized
a few days ago IN the courtroom rs an
ecclesiastical crank but, whether
he is or not it Is evident that he is 90
ing to fight the battle to the bitter end
and let the taxpayers pay the bills.
Last September the people of Maine,
without regard to party, settled the
question of constitutional prohibition,
but this does not signify that prohlbi-
ton is a success. On the contrary,
the liquor prosecutions of the past, as
we'll as those now instigated by the
Law and Order league, are Intellectual
in stopping the traffic and in making
saints Of our people. 1t certainly
looks as if prohibition does not and
will not prohibit in Maine. Portland

Sales Of Public Lands.

Commissioner Williamson, of the
General Land Office, has had prepared
statement showing the number of acres
Of public lands disposed of for cash and
under the Homestead and Timber Cult
ure acts during the last ten fiscal years
1871 to 1880 inclusive. From this
statement it appears that there was a
falling off in the number of acres dis
posed of in all three classes of land from
1871 to 1876, and that since the latter
year there has been a gradual increase
in the number of acres disposed of.
For the fiscal year ended June 80, 1871,
there were disposed of for cash 1885,
982 acres, and under the Homestead
acts 4,6O0,326 acres. The sales grad
ually fell off each succeeding year until
1875, when but 2, 1856, 057 acres were dis
posed of under the Homestead acts, and
in 1876 only $40, 691 acres were sold for
cash.
Since that period there has been
gradual increase in sales and allotments,
resulting in 1880 in the sale of !, 455, 724
acres for cash, and the disposal of 6,070,-
507 acres under the Homestead acts.
The Timber Culture law was not enact
ed until 1873, and under it, in 1875,
AGA, $40 acres were disposed of. Since
1875 the same noticeable increase OBJ
served in the sales for cash and allot-
ments under the Homestead laws had
occurred in the disposal of lands under
the Timber Culture act, so that in 1880
the allotments under this law aggregated
2, 1919, 705 acres.

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.

The Trouble Bet,ceen Russia and England
Very Serious.
A London dispatch says: The situation ap.
pears very serious. 1t looks as If Russia de-
sires war, and as If England would be CON-
PEELED to accept challenge to fight. The
common people of England, that is, those who
read or gossip at 1.-THE pubs" and know what
is going on. seem to believe that there will DO
war, but they are not enthusiastic about it.
Gladstone, more than any premier England
has ever had. is development of the British
population. He does not believe in war I'M
less absolutely necessary. He does not think
that diplomatic insult, for instance. or a
mere brush against prestage is sufficient cause
for war. His enemies 20 so far MS to say that
G ladstone would have allowed the Soudan to
slip away rather than fight for IL but for Cor
don. and that he does not consider the rcton-
ton of India worth tho cost OF war with
Russia. IL is this characteristic OF the British
premier. coupled with his supreme retcence
during the past few days, which made tho
thoughtful believe that war was imminent.
1t is everywhere taken for granted that Rus
sia's expected reply TO Englands recent re-
monstrsnce concerning Gen. Komarofrs ao-
count OF his conduct ut PenJdeh will be at
least evasive. 1t Is oven thought that tho
car will endeavor to justify Komaror's ac-
ton and establish Its rectitudo from the very
text of Sir Peter Lumsden's account of the
conduct OF the AfghRns.

III make a spoon or spoil horn"
was the thought of man who never
made spoon in all his life, and who
knew perfectly well that he couldn't
make one, and only took a mean mans
malicious delight in spelling horn.
p. S.-For man who likes to take his
horn straight the introduction of
spoon always spoils it.

The Dumb Made TO Sneak.

'sNearly every hospital and house of
correction in the country has its regu-
liar attendance of malingerers, says a
physician at the Episcopalian Hospital,
Philadelphia. ''Some are most cum
| ming in their schemes to become pa
tients. The comfortable bed, the good
| food, and the kind attention they re-
ceive are the temptations to try these
receptions.
"Why once saw case of feigned
muteness. A youth of II was

even, because we thought it was stub
bornness, we had clergyman to talk
to him, but all was of no avail. At
last we came to the conclusion that
the Young rascal was hoodwinking us,
and we determined to try trick upon
him that had been tried with success
before. Two of the physicians stood
at his bedside as if consulting about
his case. One of them said in loud
whisper to the other:

Col. Hunter, president of the national cattle

Pictures of Waves OF Sound.

Some remarkable photographs of a
pistol bullet in its flight, under the
illumination of an electric spark, have
been secured by Prof. Z. Mach, of
Prague. He has also photographed
the air streams which one may see
over Bunsen burner placed in sun
shine, and has even obtained pictures
of waves of sound, these last being
made visible by a method in which
advantage IS taken of the irregular re-
fraction of light by the waves set in
vibration by sound. Although these
experiments may not have any practi-
cal value, they are interesting as show
ing the great degree of perfection to
which the Photographic art has been
carried.

The Time to Wear Glasses.

When persons find their eyes be-
coming dry and itching in reading, as
well as those who find it necessary to
place an object more. than fourteen
inches from their face to read, they
heed spectacles. Spectacles sold by
peddIers and jewellers generally are
hurtful to the eyes of those who read
much, as the lenses are made of in
ferior glass and are not symmetrically
ground. Unless the lenses are mount
ed in a suitable frame and properly
placed before the eve discomfort will
arise from their prolonged use. The
proper time to begin wearing glasses
is just as soon as the eyes tire on being
subjected to prolonged use.-Medical
