1t is already evident that the senate is
inclined to deal with the important ques-
tlen Of repeating the land laws in a more
deliberate and conservative manner than
that adopted by the house of representa-.
tives. The committee on public lands, in
reporting the bill sent up by the house,
substituted the provisions of another bill
introduced in the senate several weeks
ago. The difference between the two
houses is principally in relation to the
desert land act, which the senate seems
rather inclined to modify than to repeal.
No definite action was taken on the bill
yesterday, but it will probably be called
up again to-day and there is good reason
to expect a marked amclioration of the
rash legislation of the lower house. The
senate bill was reported favorably by Sen.
ator Dolph of Oregon, who ought to be
and doubtless is thoroughly informed on
the subject of desert lands. As to the
timber culture act. it has no friends and
is maniiestly doomed. The only injury
done thereby arises from the association
of other laws, the repeal of which can not
but exercise a retarding influence on the
development of the country.

PosEY S. WILSON is reported to be
making a strenuous effort to get the Dem
yer MN abolished, out of spite on account
of his rejection, and9the Tribune RepuJH-
can takes the matter to heart as seriously
as if there were danger of success, and
advises merchants and business men to
protest against such action.
And the Ne,cs says on the same sub
ject Mr.. Wilson's conduct is most dis
crcditable in this matter, but it is fully in
keeping with the reputation he brought to
Colorado. So far as we can learn he has
always been a malicious meddler. with a
Donnybrook disposition to quarrel with
end to injure the community in which he
may happen to be located. If his true
character is understood in Washington,
and the %senate's action seems to prove
that it is, he will not be able to mislead
the executive in regard to the mint in this
city"
Now, it strikes an impartial observer
that Mr.. Wilson in venting his impotent
rage against Denver is not trying to get
even in the right direction. 1t was Wyo-
ming influence, inspired by thorough and
qualitative knowledge of his character,
which caused his defeat. 1t is true that

A Few days ago a reporter witnessed at
North beach, while listening to what the
wild waves were telling to each other, the
putting into practice of n strange supcrsti.
ton. A belief obtains among many OF the
credulous all over the world tina ocean or
river water, II collected in IL certain way
with certain vessels, is "A positive cure for
many diseases that flesh is heir to. The
best known instance of this belief Is the
strong faith of the natives OF India in the
healing powers of the rivers Gauges and
Euphrates.
AT n little cove between Meiggs' wharf
and the Shelby smelling works two ladies,
both apparently belonging to the most re-
spectacle social ranks, were the actors in
the strange drama witnessed by the re-
porter. One of the ladies stood on the
shore close to the rising tide, and was
counting n long string of black and white
cowrie shells, while repeating n formula
of which tina reporter could not quite
catch the meaning, but 1t sounded like re-
peating n number Of numerals in Spanish.
Standing in the water knee deep, regard
less OF the ruin to her clothing, was the
other participant in the ceremonies. In
one hand she held n white flint-glass bot
tie, with an extremely long, thin neck and
a capacity of about n pint. With the other
hhhd sne was carefully gathering the foam
from the crest of each incoming wavelet,
using as n scoop a large blue shell of the
coquille variety. The contents of the shell
she carefully decanted into the bottle.
The lady skinner of the seas refused to
answer any OF the inquiries of the over
curious, preserving n strict and freezing
silence, but the counting lacy was more
communicative. She said: "My friend Is
gathering the sca-foam to battle her little
sick dog in. You may laugh at us, but we
know by trial that the waite rs we are
now getting It is a sure cure for the poor
thing. Unless we observe all the neces-
sary forms it is time and work wasted.

mence all over again. She put the water
without the foam into the bottle, and that
