Still shaking.

still Shaking. -.-r z,-
We are now receiving the natural followings
Of the great earthquake shock Of August 81.
Almost daily We fcel slight disturbances In the
earth, and occasionally these disturbances arc
felt SO very sensibly that nervous persons b.
come alarmed, apprehsnding q recurrence Of
the August shock. From the past history Of
violent earthquakes ss well as from the. pub
lishsd scientific invsstigations Of the recent
one, We may safely say there Is no cause for
alarm. Similar tremors to those we are now
feeling have always followed great shocks, and
we must expect to feel them for some time yet.
They forebode no danger, but - sosa - ths
earth settles into position again, oil will be q
quiet a. before the terrible shaking Of August
81.

Grand Sire, Henry ID. Carey, in lis report,

in 1864. with less than 10000 New En-

numbers G5,C00 brethren. The order in
general has shared this prosperity. In 1864,
in the whole world, the number of men,
bers was 1877 1863: to-day there are 517,-
80 members, with an increase in the
total revenue of over 81 ,0G0,0o0. The or

LAND OFFICE STATISTICS.
A Statement or the Public Lands Dis
posed or During the Last
Fiscal Year.
Washington special

The amount Of public lands disposed OF
the past five years is 100, ,134 acres.
This is equal to four States like Kentucky,
four like Indiana, nearly three like Illinois,
or one like California. 1t is good deal
larger than Great Britain and Ireland. and
is equal to about three fourths of France or
Germany. On an average the United States
has disposed of one Ireland per annum for
the past five years. The area disposed OF
last year was 20,974, 1874 acres, which is
nearly million acres more than the previ-
Gus year, but nearly six million acres less
than in 1884, when more than eleven mil
lion acres were disposed of in Dakota alone.
Dakota, which in 1880 jumped far ahead
of Kansas and which has been immensely
ahead of Nebraska since that year, has
fallen now to the rear of both these States.
Nebraska dropped below million acres in
1881 and 1882, but it has risen above three
million acres in each of the last three years.
Kansas has come rapidly to the front, part
ly because the extraordinary Dakota boom
has spent much of its force, and partly be-
cause there has been some rainfall lately in
the western part of the State. Kansas fell
from million and half acres in 1880 to
less than million in 1882, but the acreage
disposed of in Kansas rose to nearly four
teen hundred thousand in 1884, over three
millions in 1885, and more than five and a
half millions last year. Last year the total
receipts from public lands were $7,412,767,
and tle total expenses S625,234. There
were 1886 cash sales, including pre-
emptions, desert land entries, etc., cover
ing 3,773,498 acres, for which So, 757, S91
was received. There were 81, G3S
homestead entries. covering 9.145.l35
acres, for which $S92,2l0 was re-
ceived. There were 81 1896 timber culture
entries, covering $685. acres, for
which $780, $50 was received. The follow
ing table shows the disposals for cash and
under the homestead and tmber-culture
laws by States and Territories for the year
