A recent statement ofthe quantity

A recent statement ofthe quantity
Of land in the United States held,
owned and controlled by foreign cap
italists, prepared by Hon. William
G. Oates, and member ofthe House
Committee on Public Lands, shows
an aggregate of 2O,541, 666 acres so
held and owned, the largest owners
being two English syndicates pos
sessing respectively, 100000, and
5000, 900 acres. These owners have
not intended and do not intend to
become citizens of the United States
and some of them are titled noble
men of different countries of Europe.
Yet by the laxity Of the presumption
laws Of this country they are enabled
to secure the privilege of holding
this vast domain-a privilege denied
by the laws to our own citizens
The sentiment of the country is op-
posed, and has always been opposed
to this system of foreign ownership
of our public lands, but every at
tempt to discourage it by Congress
sional action has thus far met with
defeat before the bills to that end
could be gotten out of committee.
Local taxation, extra heavy on nom
resident land-holders, may in the
end remedy this evil.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1885-07-18

That. /" Honesty is the best policy
has lately been illustrated forcibly in
the New York city courts. Fisk, the
Marine Bank president worth nearly
a million dollars, received ten
years sentence for l0aning the funds
of his bank to his wicked partners "
without proper security. Budden-
sick, the builder Of insecure houses,
had amassed over n half million by
his cheating and trickery; he has
succeeded in delaying the execution
of the sentence placing him in the
-peniientiary, but will undoubtedly
get there in due season. Boyd, the
glass importer who had risen from
poverty to great wealth, perhaps By
his dishonesty, is in Jail for two years
for swindling the government by false
valuations of imported plate glass,
and his son only escaped a similar
fate by the leniency of the Judge.
The eager desire for rapidly amass-
ing wealth lured each of these men
to their moral ruin. Instead of en-.
joying their wealth in their palatial
mansions, faring on the best the mar
ket affords and clothed in fine linen,
they are wearing striped suits In the
company of holder thieves and muir
derers, and eating coarse prison fare.

THE CANINE PREACHER.

"Ihave adog." said Senator Vest,
who had just heard u precocIous
crow story, reports the Memphis
Appeal, (which is very sagacions.
One morning, while | was living at
Sedalia, this dog followed me to
church. | noticed that he watched
every movement of the preacher.
That afternoon l heard terrible
bowling of dogs in my back yard. /
went ont to see what was the mat
ter. My dog was III the woodshed,
standing on his hind legs in an old
dry goods box. He held down an
old torn almanac with one fore.paw,
and gesticulated wildly with the
other, while he swayed his head and
howled to an audience of four other
dogs, even more sadly than the
preacher / had heard that morning.

probably could not have told, but
Mrs. Titus was very much offended.
She waited until dinner was sery-

began a bitter TRADE:
Pretty business this is, giggling
and fooling Your time away, and

much more churnlng can you do
when yon listen to poetry : Have
you baked that frnit.cakei Well, |

in the kitchen for, any way 7"
For the fire, ma'am. The cham.
beers are so chilly. AndI had so much
to do, and he was kind, and his arms
were strong,", faltered poor little
Janet.
"Umpth! Been complaining to
Mr.. Dent, have you, that works so
hard 7 Whining, good-for-nothing
creature! l wished I'd left you in
the asylum, l never thought of your
turning out like this-luring men in
my kitchen when Pm sick in bed"
"Stop, Mrs. Titus ~ interposed

arms which have helped her a little.
And they are still at her service.
They shall be hers for life ifshe will.
Little Janet, will you accept me for
husband ! Many a younger man
will not be as tender and true AS /,
Janet. Will You come, little one 7"
And Janet-she looked once with her
wide, innocent eyes into the strong,
gentle face, then went right straight
into those extended arms, though
Mrs. Titus stoo,. by shifting the air
in scorn.
Well, / never ~ she exclaimed.
To think Of it ~
Janet never was scOlled again.
Those kind, strong arms have been
about her ever since. To-be-sure,
she was not educated for a gentle.
mans wife, bnt Mr.. Dent took her
home to the kindest Of mothers and
sisters, whose influence aud tact pol
lshed her unobtrusiye manner, and
soon made her the most elegant of
women. The toil-worn little hands
are white as snow now but, better
than all, her heartls the happiest
that ever beat in a wife's breast

POETRY.
THE DEAD SOUL.

| dreamed such a horrible dream last
night,
It smote me through with cold alright,
And would not 90 with the dawning
Like other lies;

What was that horrible thing l dreamed !?

As the monday sunlight over him stream

Till, thrilled with dread.
I saw when my soul looked his soul
through, yss-sss : -
As only in dreams . soul can do,
That, though brain and body lived and
grew,
His soul was dead.
Yes, there he stood, q creature indeed,
That could walk and talk and drink and
feed
And add up figures, and write and read,
And work and we'd
And all with automatic .neatness,
And quite enjoying life's completeness,
The life he led.
Till at last / saw him standing there
With never hope and never care.
His dead soul set in stony stare.
Poor soul. - I said.
:" And wilt thou never feel again
Divinest joy, most Godlike pain,
Love in which self is lost and slain
Art thou quite dead 7"
And then in my pity cried aloud,
+" Oh, give to this poor dead soul shroud,
And hide him away from the living
crowd
In some narrow bed.
Oh, merciful Heaven, give him a grave,
Or send some fire that will cleanse and
save
And quicken again the soul God gave,
The soul that's dead ~
