In regard to the statement in the re-
cent annual report of Gov. Warren, of
Wyoming, that immigration and the
settlement of public lands in that ter
rltory are being ssnsibly checked by
the severe requirements exacted from
settlers by the new rules and regula-
tions OF the general land Office, Secre-
tary Lamar says that the records of
the department show that for the fiscal
year of 1886 the land entries in the
territory numbered 3,512, as against
1928 in 1884, an increase of $50 In
two years. the year 1885 showing a
corresponding increase over 1884.
The secretary adds that there had
been diminution in the desert-land
entries, which could be advantageous
ly entered only in large tracts, rsquir-
ing considerable capital; but in the
number Of entries made by individuals
the record shows large increaas.

Spells Of War.
fFrom the New York SIM !

From the New York SUM-
"There were lots of funny things
about the war;" said Col. Frederick
Martin of the Brooklyn elevated, the
other day, "now that you think oil
them when the tears are dried away
and about the funniest things I recall
were the queer articles the boys used
to pick up on the march and the &c.
centric way in which they'd tote 'em
along to finally adorn some ditch by
the wayside. Stragglers were the
worst at this, but all the fellows, were
bad enough Whenever the army
went through g. first family residence
the boys would capture what struck
each as most attractive, and some Of
their tastes were peculiar. They had
great weakness for cradles. You
may ask me what q man treading his
way to the front wanted with ma.
hogany cradle, and Pm blest if / know,
but they took 'em. First one man
would back cradle and cart it a
dozen miles; then he'd begin to cuss
and finally drop it.
"Now, you'd suppose that any or
binary idiot would just look at that
cradle as it lay in the road and pass
on, but they wouldn't. Some one
would be certain to pick it up and lug
it a few miles further into the confed-
eracy.
81 recall one cradle that Travelled
100 miles on blue backs before it went
to increase the blaze of a mess fire.
Somehow they seemed to think vague
ly that there was a chance of getting
the infant soother home, but they
never succeeded.
"The funniest thing I ever saw car
ried was q looking-glass as high as
your head and two feet wide. | saw
it first in the parlor of g. Central Vir-
ginian mansion, and next on SOL
dier's back, headed for Petersburg.
Then lost sight of it for two days,
and found it againpropped up against
tree forty miles along. The next
day 1 saw it travelling tenderly on a
straggler's back. He had his gun in
one hand, and had somehow strapped
the glass SO he could get along without
holding fast to it.
"Well, this fellow must have got
tired, for the next day third man
had it, and on the next a fourth.
This chap toted it into the lines at Pc
tersburg. He set it up against a tree,
took q long, regretful look at full
length of his shabby self, and turned
away with g sigh.
cit was just as we'll that he did.
The next minute along came q minnie
bullet, buzzing like g. hornet and hit
the glass square in the center, and
smashed it into a frame full of cracks
radiating from around the hole"

Looked for Turnip First.
From the Detroit F.

From the Detroit Free Press.
An old policeman seldom gets fooled
on street gamin. Yesterday, when
woman ran out of her house on
Fifth Street and informed g. passing
officer that q boy was lying dead in
the alley, the officer didn't hurry any.
If the boy was dead hurrying wouldn't
do any good. If dying the officer
couldn't save him. He walked slowly
around and found the boy stretched
out on the ground, very much alive,
but still making no effort to get up.
Somebody run over him, and the
wretch ought to be discovered and
punished % exclaimed one of the crowd.
''He may have shot himself" added
g. second.
81 think he fell from that shed, put
In q third.
COR some larger boy has almost
killed him." chimed woman.
The officer paid no attention to
these remarks, but after look up
and down the alley he bent over the
boy and inquired:
Chow long have you had it ?"
"Half an hour"
"How many did you eat?"
1.-TWO"
"Well, you'd better get up and keep
moving and it will go away the
sooner"
what is 2" asked five or six
voices.
The officer crossed the alley and
picked up half-eaten turnip and held
it up to view. Everybody nodded
and said "Um!" and the crowd quietly
dispersed.

Married and Madness.
From Chambers Journal

from Chambers Journal.
English and American girls tilrt IN a
way which the fervid South neither per-
mits nor understands. So far that fer
vid South is morereal and more intense
than we, who yet pride ourselves on
both our sincerity and our depth. A
painful little drama took place not
long ago, founded on these cross lines
of violated custom. Down on the Gulf
of Naples q quiet younggirl, precocious
in character and appearance and
given up by her mother to
the care Oh her maid, hlrted
with q young Italian as g. fool.
ish child would, given the chance, and
only g. venal servant to accept brides
for not looking after her. The young
fellow took her seriously. When the
TRYING moment came she opened her
large blue eyes and said with the cam
did air of q cherub: 81 mean nothing
but fun. do not love you, and am
too young to marry" The youth
shot himself as his commentary on her
answer.
Again, no kind of warning as to the
untrustworthiness of certain plausible
scoundrels, known to be mere caccia-
tori or fortune-hunters, will do any
good to certain women determined to
ruin themselves. A girl not long ago
fell in love with q Sicilian scamp of
handsome presence and desperate
character. In vain her friends warned
her of his reputation and besought
her to conquer her suicidal passion
IL vain! in vain She would not and
she did not; but, like the poor, foolish
moth, flew right up TO the candle and
proved too fatally what the flame
was like. She married and then
learned what q torturer and tyrant
could do when put to it. Before the
year was out she had to escape by
stealth from q man who starved her
and beat her; who slept with q re-
volver under his pillow, with which he
threatened her st dead of night-wak-
ing her from her sleep to terrify her
into almost madness-and who made
her regret too bitterly that sine had
not taken advice when it was given
her, and believed in the truer knowl-
edge of the more experienced.

PRINCESS METTERN1cH of Vienna is de-
scribed by Paris correspondent as

charming, elegant, witty, original, and

the Rue de Varsnne, but could never
be induced to return there since 1870.
She was expected the other day at the
marriage of the Comtesse dc Pourtales

A Horrible Prospect.
From the St. James Gazette.

From the st. James Gazette
The working classes in the American
Pacific states have long lived In dread
of being ruined by Chinese cheap labor;
but if NJ. Victor Meunier of the Rappet,
gets his way q yet more serious fate is
in store for them. According TO this
gentleman, who has, he says, made q
serious study of the matter tOr years
past-ever since he had the good fort
une to be brought into familiar rela-
lions with a. young chimpanzee-
industries of the future will be con-
Quoted by machinery controlled in its
motion by domesticated apes. To Sc
cure a. suitable ape it is necessary to
take him In hand from his earliest
years and prevent him frCr develop
ing the bestial habit of going on all
tours. This once done, there can be
no doubt that thev will undertake the
role for which nature, in endowing
them with their marvellous faculty of
imitation and with the human hand,
has obviously destined them. "Apes
las NJ. Mernier says are workmen
who need to be taught a trade. We
shall instill into their different races
special industrial aptitudes capable
of hereditary transmission, just as we
have trained dogs to various special
functions This is only detail of the
great art of creating geological castles. !"
Lest the trades-union congress before
it disperses should think it necessary
to agitate for antisimian legislation,
it is well to add that at present the
net value of one able-bodied orang-ou-
tang, gorilla, or chimpanzee, even
without trade, in the London market
is not less than the cost of maintenance
of several working men and their fam
lilies for O. twelve month.

Unique Punishment.

Charles Oberly, Missouri farmer,
didn't want to kick or strike his wife,
she being cripple, but hefeIt she must
be punished when she offended him.
He therefore tied rope to her and
lowered her down the family well. One
day the rope twisted about her neck
and hung her, and he is trying to con-
vince jury that it couldn't have been
his fault. He says he always took as
much pains in lowering or pulling her
up as If she had been g. pail of butter
