TELL YOUR MOTHER.

A Bit of Advice to silly and Romantic
Young Women.
wonder how many. girls tell their
mothers every thing! Not those young
ladies, !" who, going to and from school,
smile, bow and exchange notes and
cartes de gisite with young men who
make fun of you and your pictures,
speaking in way that would make
your cheeks burn with shame If you
heard it. All this, most incredulous
and romantic young ladies, they will
do, although they gaze at your fresh
young faces admiringly, and send or
give your charming verses or boquets.
No matter what other girls may do,''
don't you do it. Schoolgirl Irritation
may end disastrously, as many a fool
ish and wretehed young girl can tell
you.e Your yearning. for some one to
love is great need Of a woman heart.
But there is time for every thing. Do
not let the bloom and freshness of
your heart be brushed off in silly flirta-
ton.
And, above all, tell your mother
every thing. Fun in your dictionary
would be indiscretfon in hers. 1t would
do no harm to look and see. Never be
ashamed to tell her, who should be your
best friend and confdant, all you think
and feel. 1t is very strange that so
many young girls will tell every person
before mother that which is most
important she should know. 1t is very
sad that Indifferent persons should
know more about her fair young daugh-
ter than she herself. Have no secrets
that you would not be willing to trust
to your mother She is your best friend,
and is ever devoted to your honor
and interest. Tell her alL-F'anay

In his annual report on the sub
ject of the public lands, Secretary
Lamar says: The commissioners
report upon the public surveys,
though interesting is painful ex-
hibit. 1t appears from this docu-
ment that the available agricultural
land in most of the public land states
and territories has been largely re-
turned as surveyed and the SURVEYS
paid for by the United States, but in
many instances the reported surveys
are SO defective and erroneous as to
be without merit and misleading,
and that in other cases no actual
surveys were made, but plats were
manufactured upon the basis of fic-
titious field notes. The proportion
of unsurveyed lands is reported sub
stantially as follows in the states and
territories named:
In Arizona one-fifth, in California
seven-siNteenths. in Colorado seven
eights, IN Dakota one-half of the ter
ritory, in Florida tive-sixths, in Idaho
one-fifth, in Minnesota four fifths. in
Nevada one-half, in Montana one
fourth, in New Mexico two-fifths, in
Oregon two-thirds, in Washington
one-halt, in Wyoming three fourths.
In California, Minnesota, Oregon,
Washington and Wyoming, the un-
surveyed areas are generally noun
famous or heavily timbered. In
Florida, the unsurveyed lands are
principally in the vicinity OF ever
glades and in islands and keys on
the coast. In Arizona, Colorado,
Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico and
Wyoming, the country is reported to
be largely occupied by cattle ranch
es. In the presentation of these sur
veys it is very difficult for the gov
ernment to prosecute successfully
trespassers upon public lands and
depredators upon timber, and almost
impossible for settlers to identify
the land they wish to enter. Exam
ination of deposit surveys in Wash
ington, Oregon, California, Wyom-
ing, Arizona, @ dorado, Utah and
Nebraska show them to be, in num-
erous instances, unreliable.

AN AUTUMN SABBATH.

(Contributed.)
Down the clowd curtained west,
Goes the be wearried sun;
And this Sabbath day of rest,
It's placid course has run.
1t has spun its roof of gold.
And sows that roof now with stars
And flashes on every fold
\ thousand moonlight bars
This holy day is dead:
Low and entombed 1t lies;
Its tender graces has fed,
To luster other skies.
The day has been full of grief;
Its voice was husky with tears;
The pathos of fallen LENT
Has augered the patbas of years.
Apart are my love and Ia
My life like this day, isssad,
My heart has its Autumnsfy
Which none but my loNencan make glad
Time was when the daysasH the years
We're full of leaf fall and gloom
And my life was misted with tears
Which now dreams onlSraf bloom
Love took Its abode in this breast
Then sad as wind swept sea
And brought to it peace and rest
And blessings and Joy to me.

The Pennless 1Fnnex.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Leland
Stanford of California. in a conversation on
the general subject of national finance, spoke
of silver money as the peoples money and
of paper as the bankers money. Briefly
illustrating the thought, he said that by the
labor of the people silver was gotten out of
the earth, and labor was expended on it at
every stage of the various processes to which
it was subjected between mine and mint. and
that when coined and stamped it circulated
mainly among the people, among those
whose financial affairs were not SO extern
sive as to require bank accounts. On the
other hand paper money, especially the
national bank notes, was OBJ
aimed by bankers with bonds.
1t was the bankers money, in con-
tradistinction from silver. because 1t was
made for banks, issued by banks, based on
bonds representing little expenditure Of

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-In the house

reported back from committee unamended,
and placed on the calendar. Mr.. Cooper
of Ohio announced that he would file a
minority report. Under the new call of
measures for immediate action. on behalf of

called up and the house passed a bill amend
ing section 6. 443, revised statutes, by add
ing the following provision:
Provided, that when any criminal prosecu-
ton shall be removed from a state court TO
United States court before a presentment by
a grand jury or indictment or information
shall have been made and filed against the
defendants in the state court, IL shall be law
full for the stare court to proceed in such case
so far as TO have such presentment or indict-
ment or information made and filed in said
state court, and after the same is so made and
filed the clerk of the United States court
shall issue writ of certiorari TO the state
court for like purpose and with like effect as
if the case had been so removed after such
presentment or indictment was made and
filed in such state court.
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
The house then went into committee of
the whole, Mr.. Blount in the chair, for the
consideration of the presidents message.
Mr. Reagan spoke upon the financial Ques-
ton. advocating the double standard. con-
demning the national banking system and
favoring the applying of portion of the
surplus in the treasury to the gradual pay
ment of the public debt. Mr.. Bland said
he had no doubt that the committee on
coinage, weights and measures would report
some measure on the silver question at an
early day, and if necessary give weeks for
discussion. He therefore moved that the
committee rise in order that the debate
might be postponed until it came up in
regular order. Mr.. SYmes of Colorado said
many silver speeches were growing cold.
and he hoped the opportunity for their de-
livery would soon be presented. The ques-
ton was put on Mr.. BANDS motion, and,
although it was soldlY opposed by the Re-
publicans, it was carried by vote 79 to IS.
