The following story is related by the
Paris Reppel: The greatest joy of the
biblomaniac the only one in fact, is to pos
sess a book OF which there is not another
extant An Englishman who has abundant
wealth, and there are more English biblio-
maniacs than all the rest put together,
owned little volume, very rare, and the
only one, as he thought, of that edition in
existence. All at once he learned that
there was a second copy in Paris, and he
forthwith filled his pocket-book with bank
notes, started across the channel. and ar
rived at the house of his rival" After
the usual compliments he said:
Monsieur, you possess copy of such
and such work"
Eyes, monsieur, it is in my library. Here
it is, If you would like to see it,
81 will give you /, 600 francs for it."
Monsieur, do not trade in books"
''Five thousand francs then?"
81 am astonished, monsieur"
"Ten thousand francs?"
''But repeat"
Fifteen thousand francs?"
''Monsieur-''
Twenty thousand francs?"
Before such insistance it would be i'm
polite to refuse you. Monsieur the book
is yours"
The Englishman had won. He counted
out twenty bills of 1000 francs each and
took the book. The conversation had taken
place in the library where an open CRATE
fire was burning. The Englishman exam
ined his purchase carefully Then with a
satisfaction which he did not attempt to
conceal threw the book into the fire. The
Frenchman, thinking that his visitor was
insane, attempted to rescue the treasure.
The other prevented him, and added in ex-
PLANTATION. Monsieur. L also possess copy
of this work. 1t is the only one which ex-
lists to-day. 1 wish you good morning."

News Notes of Interest to the People

In one of his latest utterances, Gen. Camp
bell says that refusal to repeal the restrain
ing clause means eight to twelve years of ter
ritorial rule or admission as whole, which
he pleasantly refers to as political, financial
and moral perdition." AS he claims there has
been some misstatements Of his position, the
following is quoted as his exact language
If the people form state government and
put it into operation, and congress refuses to
admit them, they have legal and constitu-
tional right to go on with their state govern
ment If they do so, and the United States
does not interfere by force, that state govern
ment would be de facto and de jure the law
full state government. If the United States
should interfere by force. then it must sub
NIT to the injustice. and appeal to the people
Of the United States. The state government
would still be de jure, but not de facto.
There has been great complaint of the hail
insurance companies not settling losses
fairly, but they allege numerous instances
of parties attempting to impose upon them
In one instance in Hughes company q flax
grower reported his loss by hail rs per cent
The adjuster ;allowed it, but the company
sent q man into that region to scale down
losses. The agent went there and purported
to be wanting to buy land. He asked the rs
per cent man if there was not good deal
of hail last year. He said very little and that
his own lost was but 10 per cent. The
stranger then said he was deputized to settle

uThe little band Of Chippewa Indians in the

Tho Land BILL Passed.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The bill re-
pealing the presumption and timber culture
laws was taken up in the senate.
Mr.. George addressed the senate on the
bill. In the course OF his remarks he de-
nounced the frauds committed on the public
lands Mr.. Mitchell thought the department
had been mistaken i'll many cases as to what
was called fraud" Mr.. Plumb cited figures
TO show the enormous transactions in public
lands. In 1884 there were 55,945 entries I'M
der the homestead law, embracing nearly
100000 acres. The figures for 1885 were
nearly the same. In this enormous aggregate
OF entries there had no doubt been some
frauds, meaning thereby failure to make
strict technical compliance with the regula-
tons made by the government. In referring
to the recent order of the land department
suSpending execution of the presumption and
timber culture laws, MIR. Plumb remarked
that whatever purpose there was in that
order it was the purpose of the land depart
ment, aud not of the secretary OF the IN
terror. With regard to the absorption of the
public lands in the South Mr.. Plumb in
quired why the land department should
SINGLE OUT THE POOR SOLDIER
in the wilds of Dakota while ignoring the Or
Plantations that are absorbing the public
lands iii the Southern states. It seemed sim
gular 10 Mr.. Plumb that an officer of the
government should seem so seriously affected
by what Mr.. Plumb could only denominate
"a political, geographical and isothermal
strabismus.' Mr.. George said the ''absorp-
ton" referred in the South, so far, at least,
as Mississippi was concerned, was not in
violation of law but in pursuance of law.
Mr.. Stanford stated that the provisions of the
bill as amended in the senate would abso-
lutely prevent the reclamation of the desert
lands. There were enormous quantities Of
such lands, he said, not worth a penny an
acre and they could only be reclaimed by the
expenditure of large sums of money. In Or
der TO make reclamation possible he moved
70 restore certain words already struck out
by the senate Mr. Plumb feared the amend
nent might lead to fraud and opposed it. Mr..
Stanfords motion was rejected. The bill
then came to a vote and was passed, yeas 81,
nays 20. On motion of Mr.. Dolph COM
mittee of conference was ordered on the dis
agreeing votes of the house and senate on the
pill.

A Bulletin OF Mighty Big News.


On Memorial day 1 was shown tele-
graphic bulletin that was received from the
front on that memorable Sunday that pre-
coded the surrender of Lee. Dispatches
through the week had indicated that the
end was near, and the loyal West was on
tip-toe for the announcement of surren-
der. On that Sunday morning there was
posted upon the war bulletin Of
this budding village a dispatch from
Lincoln, who was with the army, to the
secretary of war. 1t read: ''All is we'll
with us. Grant is far away. I can't see
him. but it seems to me there is general
smeshup of Lees lines" The forecast of
the president was gloriously accurate for
the next morning when the gray-haired
men went to business eyes that had looked
to the southwark so long were gladdened
with the news of the fall Of the Army of
Virginia.
