The Worlds Washington cores
pondent telegraphs: The land office
has prepared a decision in the case
of the land claimed by the Northern
Pacific Railroad in Washington Ter
ritory. THIS decision, which is to
be issued in few days, declares
that the company's claim to land in
that Territory, extending along 100
miles of the line is not good, and
that the land shall be released for
public settlement. This throws open
to the public two and a half million
acres of land, and will be a great
blow to the Northern Pacific in the
Northwest, as that land has been
confidently reckoned as an asset of
the road.

Hints on Practical Printing.
BIZ WALLACE WILLIAMS, OF THE FULToN

Mr.. PRESIDENT, LADIES AND GENTLE
MEN-In the limited period allowed for
this essay, it would be impossible to
trace the origin and development of the
art of printing, and whilst it is interest
ing and germaine to the subject,i it diverts
the attention frsm the theme under dis
cussion. Since the days of Guttenburg,
the original inventor of the art of print
ing there has been a steady and progress

chanical appliances adapted to the art of
printing including all the known processes
intended to be perfected. The experience
Of each recurring age, in which any defec-
tiveness or lncompleteness In any of the
mechanical appliances of the art has been
made manifest, has connected them, so
that little remains to be accomplished.
Absolute perfection in mechanics is not
attainable by human science or skill" yet
the developments have been so great and
extensive that the limit of usefulness has
been reached.

Our Defenceless Sea Coast.

Our extended sea-coast except where
adequately protected by the art of the
military engineer, is everywhere val
nerable.
Let us for the moment regard the
question whether its defense should be
made adequate. II not already so, as a
mere question of as''ars and cents. Is
it wise. then, in a bnsiness sense. for
each OF US TO pay a premium, say of
twenty cents a year for six or seven
years, to permanently insure Ourselves
against such "a calamity as the dcsirae-
ton or holding to ransom of q or
moro of our sea-board cities, or 10 pre-
vent the hostile occupation of the Mis-
sissippi river, and the possible plum Ter
of the towns upon J banks?
Sufficient answer 10 this may be
found in the recollection that the loss
at the Chicago fire was estimated at
5000, 900. 900. the losses of insurance
companies alone amounting to nearly
1877. 900, 600; while the losses at the
Boston fire exceeded $50. 600, 900. the
insurance losses being nearly S53, 000.-
600. In both these cases, notably in
the latter, by no means all of the city
was consumed.
Or view the matter in another light
The census of 1880 gives the assessed
value of the property exposed to de-
struction or contribution in the ports
of Portland, Portsmouth, Boston, New
port, New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, New Orleans, and San Francisco
at. in round numbers, thirty-three
hundred and twenty-five millions Of
| dollars.
But this estimate does not in all
cases. notably ut New Orleans, include
the neighboring country at che mercy
of a power holding the specified har-
Dor, mol docs it allow for the great
| growth of the last five years. Again,
the assessed value is almost invariably
considerably below the actual value.
| Though it is therefore certain that the
valuation given above is much too
low, yet for the purposes of argument
let us assume il TO be correct.
Now (disrcgardins the small frac-
tons of absolute accuracy throughout
this paragraph) it is estimated that
sixty-one millions of dollars-one and
eight-tenths of one per emf. of this
value--would render all of these ports
impregnable. This expenditure would
necessarily be distributed over six or
seven years, since the work could not
be completed in less time. Thus the
annual premium of insurance against
the danger of destruction or ransom by
an enemy would mount to but three
tenths of n per cent. on this inordin.
ately low valuation for say six years;
and thereafter to but the comparatively
nominal cost of keeping the works in
repair-H p Wells, in Haypes's Mag.
