RaVrcad Lamd Grant Contest.

10 The Editor OF the Globe:
TATLoRs FALLS, MINI, Jan. ga great
amount Of interest is now centered in the
action Of congress relating TO railroad land
grants, and the disposition OF lands within
the indemnify limits of roads which have al
ready selected their quota
y move was inaugurated at this place this
winter, which may prove an important factor
in the settlement of the last question
VIM. Young and D. A. Canrday, land ex-
plorers and former government agents aud
experts in looking up trespass on govern
ment and state lands, became possessed Of
the numbers and location Of land within the
twenty mile indemnity limits Of the Chicago,
ST. Paul, Minneapolis Il Omaha railroad in
Northwestern Wisconsin, and acting on their
advice, about fifty citizens Of
Polk county, Wis, and Chisago
county, MIMI, have each taken
l60-acre tract Of land, made i'm proven ents
thereon, snd attempted 10 ile ON their claims
within the said ''limlts'D at the local land
Office at Bayfield,. Wis The local land Off
GERS having rejected the filings an appeal has
been taken to the commissioner Of the gen.
ersl land Office at Washington.
All parties in this contest with the Omaha
company have the sympathy Of the public
at large and the honest tax PAYERS OF both
states feel interested in the outcome, as the
question Of who runs the machinery Of this
government will doubtless agitate state
aud national legislators during the coming
sessions

very pretty woman, who has reappeared
In Washington this year, is Mrs George
Spencer, wife Of the ex-senator from Ala
bama. Six years ago society was excited
when the Senator went over to New York,
married Miss Nunez, member of theatre
company there, and brought his bride here.
She WAS Il Mississppian by birth and related
To several generals of the Confederate and
Egyptian service, and is still a very beautiful
woman of the slender Spanish type As she
appeared the other day, making some after
noon calls upon ladies in the same hotel
where she was staying, she was the striking
figure of the occasion. She wore long
black velvet dress, an immense black Ru-
bens hat covered with black plumes, very
long black gloves aud carried large fan of
black ostrich feathers, which, in its graceful
motions, seconded the wonderful play OF her
large dark eyes under the thin arching brows.
She held whole company of ladies spell
bound aud fascinated, and that is the last
and most crucial test OF any pretty woman's
talents. When she sat down they formed u
semcrcle before her, aud she carried them
with her by storm. Except fo- an OCCASION
al question they let her have II all her own
way, and she was as bright and sparkling
and fascinating 10 all those women and
bewiched them as com pletely with her
smiles and her black ewes and clever talk as
IL they had been SO many susceptible men.
Only the entrance of Mrs. Logan broke the
spell but as they are famous friends they
simply joined forces aud the charm was
doubled
