Importance of proper measures to insure
right disposition of our public lands, not only
as matter Of present justice, but in forecast
OF the consequences to future generations.
The broad, rich acres of our agricultural
plains have been long preserved by nature to
become her untrammeled gift TO people
civilized and free, upon which should rest, in
well distributed ownership, the numerous
homes of enlightened, equal and fraternal
citizens They came TO national possession
with the warning example in our eyes
OF the entail of iniquities in landed
proprietorship which other countries have
permitted and still suffer. We have no ex-
cuse for the violation of principles, cogently
taught BY reason and example, nor for the
allowance OF pretexts which have sometimes
exposed our lands to colossal greed. Laws
which open door to fraudulent acquisition,
or administration which permits favor to
rapacious seizure by favored few of ex-
banded areas that many should enjoy. are
accessory to offenses against our national
welfare and humanity, not to be too severely
condemned or punished

them are occasionally yet met with in
the Powder River mountains. Some
years ago large Scotch staghOund and
a bulldog bitch ran away from Fort

ferocious wild yellow dogs in the Wind

Duel Ofthe Rams.

Two farmers in Hunterdon county,
n. j., who had been engaged in almost
constant quarrels.as to the merits of
their live stock for several years, re-
Gently decided to settle disputes in a
very strange way. Their last contro-
versy was as to which had the best ram.
A New York lawyer, who had fire.
quently been asked to arbitrate their diff
ferences, proposed that the rams be
pitted one against the other and the one
that outbutted his rival should be con-
sidered the winner and its owner and
his possessions be deemed the superior
for a year to come. This was agreed to.
together with condition proposed by
one OF the disputants, that each farmer
should ride his ram during the fray.
During the second round the men. as
well as the sheep, commenced butting
each other, and kept up the strange
contest until the spectators separated
them to avoid serious consequences.
One of the rams died from injuries re-
ceived in the fight, and the farmers
were SO used up that they did not VEN
ture from their homes for several days.
