Old Eli Bah.

Old Eli Bah was the noted sot of the
Dryer Ford neighborhood. He was a
kind hearted man, but children were
taught to shun him. The home of the
wretched man, il it could be called a
home, was the picture of misery. His
wife was broken-hearted and his chill
dren were miserable.
''Old Bab's in town." said asman,
entering saloon and addressing a
party of oilers.
''Then look out for trouble,'' some
one replied. ''I'd rether know chat
the seven years itch was coming -
Bah came in, leading or rather drag
ging after him, a little boy. The child
was begging nim to go home.
.sHeilo, felsrs,'' said Bah. "Wsm
drink?''
The party of idlers promptly arose
and approached the bar.
PA, please come on inplored the
child
.'Oh, dry up, won't you! Fellers,
what'N you have? Sold a COW this
morning and am fnsh.''
Taking from his pocket a shoe,
nearly worn out, he struck the bar
with it.
'.Wife told me to have this thing
fixed. as though mans got money to
throw away
The boy pulled at his sleeve.

Operations Under Certain Classes Of En-.
tries OF Land in the Northwest and Else
where Suspended.
The commissioner of the general land Office
has ordered that final action in the land Office
upon all entries of the public lands except pri-
vate cash entries, and such scrip locations as
are not dependent upon acts of settlement and
cultivation be suspended in the following
localities: All lands west of the first guide
meridian, Kansas: all west Of range IL west, IN
Nebraska; the whole Of Colorado, except lands
in the Ute reservation, all lands in New Mexico,
Montana, Wyoming and Nevada, and that
portion of Minnesota north of the indemnity
limits of the Northern Pacific railroad and
east of the indemnity limits of tie Chicago
Minnesota & Manitoba railroad. Final action
in the land Office is also ordered to be sus-
pended upon all timber culture entries un der
the act of June 8 1878, which have not already
been examined; also in all cases of desert land
entries.
fraud made at Washington and throughout the
country in regard to pine and other land entries.
Minnesota had its share thereof during the
TAst TWO or three years, as all will remember
Corporations and private syndicates have been
charged with hiring men to make presumption
entries and then transfer their claims to the
former. 1t is doubtless true that this plan
has been practiced to q considerable extent
and the government and honest settlers
defrauded To prevent further fraud
of this nature is presumably the OBJ
ject of the order Its effect will be
to prevent final proving up on all pre-e1ap.
ton, homestead and timber culture entries-in
fact on all entries on public land except where
land has been offered for sale, in which latter
case one may purchase by private cash sales.
but only in this manner. Scrip locations are
also excepted. The object is probably to al
low the commission to investigate the numer-
GUS charges'of fraud and refuse to allow final
proving upin cases where fraudulent intent ia
evident. 1t can work no hardship tc
the actual settler, as it will only defer his time
for final proving up, and it is not likely that
the government will throw any hindrance in
the wagtof one who is proved to be an actual
settler The order affects but little land in Min
nesota, only that between the eighth and tenth
correction lines and the fourth and fifth meri-
dians-the strip from Lake Superior west to
Red Lake reservation. Alarge portion of this,
also, will not be affected, as it is not yet sur.
veyed.

A New Malady.


'.Psychopathy'' is q malady which
has only recently come to the notice
OF the doctors. For the enlighten-
aent of the multitude it is explained
that a psychopath is an individual
devoid of all moral notions who at the
same time thinks logically. distinguish
es good from evil, and acts according
to reason SO far as his own interests
are concerned. Aside from himself
nothing is sacred to him. The Pail
MaU Gdzette suggests that psychopathy
is an abnormal development of
egot;sm, and that when fully
tiedged psychopath is discovered he
should be Immediately hanged. st.

General Grants Condition Last Week.

Rev. DIR. Newman and DR.. Shrady left Gen.
Grants house on the morning of the Sd inst:
"The general has just walked up," said tho
former. He slept peacefully for several
hours, awakening only at intervals for little
nourishment The first thing he said this
morning was I am thirsty, and the doctors
moistened his throat"
toned his coat about him and stepped down
toward the park for little morning air. To
your correspondent he said:
'The change in Gen Grant this morning is
simply wonderful. He has had good sleep,
taken his nourishment and is again resting
quietly
ADoes his mind seem bright" was asked.
"Bright,as button, was the response. 'sHs
seemed often to anticipate our own suggestions,
and his replies are always quick and to the
point"
aIzas he been able to rest on his couch?"
stNos he rested in his reclining chair, which
has been made as comfortable as possible, and
is much better for him than the bed 1t per-
mits him to change his position easily, and at
the Same time supports his head in way to
prevent any accumulation in his throat"
morning."
s'No one cartel. When we look back and
think that his condition was such on yesterday
morning that, at the closest calculation, delay
of five minutes in the hypoder1nic injection Of
brandy, (which WAS given him, would have
caused his death, the change this morning is
SIMPLY REMARKABLE"
On Saturday morning, DR.. Shrady said:
''There is one point about Gen. Grants
trouble said he, '''that has notyet been brought
out The cancer itself has not yet sufficiently
developed to putaman in ordinary health in SO
dangerous condition If the generals consti-
tuition were only as strong as the average man
he would be good for six months yet least
The severe mental and physical shocks he has
had the past year OF so are tho things Chat are
telling against him lat this juncture His
frame has been completely shattered by
them. For all that, regard his rallies, and
especially that of to-day, as simply marvellous,
Wednesday morning when I thought another
five minutes would finish him. To night he .is
better than he has been in week. For all
that, however, he may sink away rapidly, and
be dead within the next hour

The few lines of rain Is in Bassin) which
fell on Wednesday pretty generally over
the island were very welcome, but we are
still waiting for the heavy fall which is
required to bring forward the canes and to
replenish the springs. The disturbed state
of the weather on Wednesday caused some
persons a little needless uneasiness. 1t
is worth while to remember that a hurri-
cane can commence only from some north
ern point, north east being the most
threatening: on Wednesday the wind
blew in heavy squalls from the south.
The disturbed electrical condition of the
air caused the alarm bell at the fort to
ring several times between 10 and Ii
o'clock on Wednesday evening aud again
at about 5 o'clock on Thursday morning.
We have heard nothing about the wen
ther in st. Thomas, but we learn that in
st. Johns there was an extraordinarily
heavy fall of rain, 76 lines even if these
should be II to the inch the fall would be
great, but we presume they are, as our
lines, 8 to the inch, a fall therefore of 81

The Panama Canal.
From the Jamaica Gleaner.)

On the 31st of January, 1881, the
I%nteroceanic Canal Company was or
ganized in Paris, to construct a canal
across the Isthmus of Panama. M.
de Lesseps jauntily assured the pro-
motors of the enterprise that the job
could easily be completed within
eight years, and promised that the
great ditch should be dug from ocean
to ocean by the end OF 1888, at a cost
of not over G21, 600, 600. Consider
ably more than half of the stipulated
period has already passed, and it is
interesting to learn the condition of
affairs.
The meagre data furnished by the
managers of the scheme render it diff
fcult to get at the exact state of
affairs. The Financial News, how.
ever, has made a careful study Of the

Thc Nashville News of last week contained very ''gassy" editorial saving other towns were jealous of that town, it's cotton receipts, etc.. closing by having an eXplo- sion of it's gas bag as follows; "We are tired though of repeating to the Prescott Picayune; TO array of figures and proof has any effect on it., so we leave it alone in it's glory, to extract what comfort it can from its windy indulgencies." Now, if we are not mistaken. the contro- versy was begun by the News, and 1t would be hard for anybody 10 produce more gassy or windy state mentS than our contemporary. As to other towns being jealous, etc. we see nothing to cause such a state of affairs, as Nashville is d little 0ne-horse town of say 600 Inhabitants, while Prescott and Hope are more than double that number and have a bigger trace. We showel up the News error, andthat was all we were after.

 "iIow old art thou'' How la
 mentally true is the fact that all
 of us are passing, Ksslng away
 every minute, every hour, every
 year nearing life's strand, till, ere
 we are aware, eternity is ready to
 receive us, and judgment ready to
 greet us. The flight of years has
 cast it's shadow over nations.
 Eighteen hundred and eighty
 five. dear teachers and pupils, is
 dying. Our cares, our joys, our
 misfortunes, our successes, our
 recitations, our teaching have been finished, and we hear the
 slow tolls of the knell of one more year -our lost friend. But what think you? Have we improved during the past year' Have we done our full duty, or have we done violerce to the Cod given powers of our souls and being, by neglecting proper study? Have we, as teachers, regarded our pro fession as the one, preemincntly, which las the destinieS ot youth held in it's grasp and from which must come either blessing or CUTS ing for our country? Have we us ed all our talents for the good of the children, or are we working simply for the few dollars that we receive monthly If we are work ing with mercenary motives, then i it were better that we never again cross the sacred threshold 0t youthful hearts and minds. Have We been constantly asking our selves the questions: How can improve upon this method of teach ing? Why do l teach this subject in such manner! What IS the proper stimulus for such q degree of intelligence! What are the pc cnlarities of tbis pupil? Is this pupil really in fault for not having prepared his lesson? Is this pupil receiving the proper encourage ment at homc! If not, must l look for a full quota of work? What are my dcGciencies'
 Dear teachers of Nevada county, do we all lore our york: Do we take educational literature! Do we read books on discipline and teaching? If not, we are in the wrong place.
