A paper published at Monterey re-
cords the particulars of probably the
largest transfer of land to private parties
ever made on this continent. The lands
in question are situated in Northern
Mexico, and were purchased by a syn
dictate of English and Scotch gentle
men named Mcpherson, Grant, and
John Dalzell. Although the price paid
was only $1,000, 900 cash down, yet the
area of country sold was larger than
some of the New England States. The
possessions are situated in the States
OF chihuahua and Durango. The title
of the lands was perhaps the most
ancient of any upon the American con-
tinent. This is the first transfer that
had been made in two hundred years.
That long ago the King of Spain con-
veyed this tract of country to the an
cestry of Don Antonio Ansunsala,
where it had remained and descended
from generation to generation until the
present time. More than one thousand
people as tenants are living upon this
soil, growing corn and coffee and wheat
In the villages and sheep and cattle in
the mountains. The lands were bonded
over two years ago to Col. j. p. Law.
son, of Colorado, who paid 500, 900 for
three years bondment. The stipulated
price of the land is 81, 10000 An adj
.ditional million is to be invested in
cattle, blooded horses, and agricultural
implements. One-half of this addi-
tional million has already arrived from
London, and is now deposited in the
City of Mexico and chihuahua to the
credit of the fiscal agent of the syndi-
cate. The estate consists of two i'm
mense ranches, subdivided into six con-
tiguous haciendas, upon each of which
there is village with an organized
municipal government. Two-thirds of
the estate lies within the southern
boundary of the State of Chihuahua;
the remaining third in Durango. The
area embraced by these properties Is
~ Spanish leagues in length by an
average width of leagues, or an equiv
alent in English measurement of 70
Large tracts of these lands are under
cultivation, the crops consisting princi-
pally of Indian corn, wheat, barley and
Irish and sweet potatoes. In addition
they are capable of grazing 200,0
head of cattle and 100000 sheep. Be-
sides the above six haciendas, the same
syndicate has purchased two other
ranches adjacent, containing 100000
acres. The deeds of record show tha3
there were also included in this sale,
for special stipulations not given, 3d.
900 head of sheep. 1000 head of un-
broken horses, 800 saddle horses, 500
broken mules, 800 work oxen, 1000
hogs, 1000 saddles and brides, 800 set
of harnesses, together with immense
quantities of farming tools, many of
which are of ancient patterns.

An elderly and well-known gentle
man of Boston, who, while he likes to
sit at the cornwall board, will not touch
anything spirituous, devoting all his
attention to the tactical fluid, was invit-
ed out one night by party Of choice
spirits. A huge milk punch had, how
ever, been prepared for him, and when
he was asked what beverage he would
prefer his reply was as usual: We'll, l
guess I'll take little milk The punch
was brought and all eyes turned toward
him TO note the effect. Raising the
glass he took sip and then another; at
the third. however. he drained the
tumbler. smacked his lips and, looking
lovingly at the empty glass, observed:

The territory of Russian Siberia, one
and half times as large as the United
States, has belonged to Russia three
centuries, yet of the 100000 inhab-
itants nearly one-half are pagans. Pa
ganism is fostered by the home govern
ment. The pagan priests are allowed
to collect and burn the copies OF the
Bible with which the missionaries sup
ply the converts, and no missionary may
baptize without the authority of the
pagan civil authorities, who are allowed
to do almost anything to drive Chris
tianity from the country.

A Dreadful siuht.

FARGO, OAK, October 1.-THE news has
just reached here that the wife and child
of Seth Staunton persisted In n prairie fire
in Barnes County, thirty miles from here
Saturday. The fire started from thresh-
ing machine on the Lessar farm while the
men had left it for dinner. Mr.. Stanton,
who was some distance from bis house, two
miles from the origin Of the fire, was bare
ly able TO reach there before the flames,
and thought 1t too late to save the build.
ings. He took one little child under each
arm and told his wife to follow with the
Oldest one. Soon looking back, he saw his
wife and child enveloped in flames. Mrs.
Stanton persisted there, and the child
was so badly burned that 1t died the next
day. The fire parted at the house and left
it untouched. A few thousand bushels Of
wheat and barn or two burned. AT the
same time another fire a few miles west
destroyed some fifteen thousand bushels of
wheat on the farm of N. V. Townley, and
the house and buildings of Ed. c. Booth
and much other property of other parties.
The total losses from fire in Barnes County
this season are put at 100000.

Almost a Riot.

COLUMBUS, o., October 16.-Shortly after
noon to-day some rattle-brained persons
hung out an immense "bloody shirt" across
the street in front Of the Democratic head
quarters. 1t bore the words, "New South"
"New North" and "a New Deal; the Last
of the Bloody Shirt" The shirt was an
immense affair. 1t was about twenty feet
long and ten feet wide, with sleeves six
feetlong. Great daubs of red were spattered
over the breast in imitation of blood. At
first the banner created great deal
of amusement, but about O'Clock a num-
Der of old soldiers went in a body to the
headquarters and demanded in thename of
the @. A. r. that the bloody emblem be
taken down. As Chairman Powell was not
present at the time, no attention was paid
to the request. A few minutes later re-
quest was received from Governor Hoadly
asking that the banner be taken down at
once. Before this could be done, however,, a
large crowd had collected, and just as the
janitor began TO loosen the ropes a number
of men rushed forward and, seizing the
banner, carried it off. They brought it back
In few minutes, saturated with coal oil.
1t was then burned In front OF the head
quarters amid the shouts of those present
to witness the movements. There were a
number ofpersons in the crowd who seemed
DESTROYS of sacking the headquarters, and
many threats were made, but the wise
counsel of law abiding men of both parties
prevailed and the crowd dispersed.
