When gold was discovered in California the tide
of emigration turned thther, and its people soon
asked FOR admiitance into the Union, with Con-
stituiun prohibiting slavery.
Part of the State was south of the boundary fixed
by the Missouri Compromise" and Southern
leaders declared ii could not be free State. NiO-
lent debates occurred in Congress. Finally com
mttee OF 10 was appointed TO discuss the question
Mr. Clay was Chairman.
The subject was discussed for four months, and
resulted in the Compromise Acts of 1880 some
times called the Omnibus BILL 1t passed both
Houses of Congress and became law. Its chief
provisions were that
l. California should be free State. .. Utah and
New Mexico should be organized as Territories,
not restricted to slavery. g. $4,000 should be
paid Texas TO give up all claim to New Mexico 4.
Slavery should be excluded from tie District OF
Columbia >. Slaves escaping from their masters
into free states should be arrested and returned.
The last provision of the Compromise, known as
the = Fugitive slave Law, produced great excite
meHt IN the North, where the law was thought 10
be unn SCcss3rliy severe, and WAS often evaded.
When Pierce was President, Senator Douglas, OF
Illinois, introduced a biil into Congress proposing
the organization of two Territorles-hallsas and
Nebraska, and both being north OF So 80, the IN
labitanis still to have the privilege Of coming
into the Union free slave states, they desired.
This bin greatly surprised the people, rs il annulled
tAe " Missouri Compromise, which was regarded
ia the North rs a sacred promise not to extend the
slave territory north of the southern boundary OF
Missouri. This bIl. became a law III 1894, and IS
known ms tie 80 AauSss- Nebraska lJIil."
A struggle now began between the two sections
to see which class should settle the Territories.
From the North ana East came the oppOsers OF
slavery; from the South the Shareholder and his
slaves: while AissuagIans were charged with the
crime of crossing the border 10y hundreds and con-
trolling the elections
For two years civil war and anarchy prevailed IN
Kansas, but at last il admitted free state
il 1851, and Nebraska in 1867.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In issue of
July - l see an inquiry by a. il. V. in regard
TO his homestead, and mentions soldiers home
stcads
/. What is the difference between a common
or citizens homestead entry and soldiers
homestead entry?
2. Can a soldier after making a homestead
entry, and being deprived OF the benefit of it
and lost his land, take a soldiers homestead
under the present law?
3. Was there bill introduced in this session
Of Congress to make up the deficiency OF nav
for service in the rebellion on account of the
depreciation Of currency below gold?
4. Was there bill presented TO give every
honorably- discharged soldier land warrant ?
Il. b.
/. The only difference between common or
citizens homestead entry and that of the SOL
dicr is tiiit tne soldier nus deducted from inc
time that he is required to reside upon his
land the time that he served in the army or
navy Of the United States.
2 1t is matter within the discretion of the
Land Office. As general thing, if a soldier
has taken claim on the strength of his dis
charge, that exhausts his rights; but there
may be peculiar circumstances that the Office
will take cognizauce Of and give him another
opportunity.
3 and 4. There were number of bills of the
kind introduced into Congress, but until there
is change of heart in the present majority of
that body there is not the slightest chanee of
| their success.

NOTES.

A young son of Calvin Selby, of Fair
mount, Ill, recently died from blood poisoning
that was caused by killing potato bugs with his
bare hands, on which were several cuts.
Many farmers let fruits and vegetables go
to waste because OF the absurd idea that il is
cheaper to buy them dried canned in Win
ter than to preserve them at home while they
are plenty and right at hand.
- The best place forsoapsuds from the wash
kitchen ut this season is the cucumber and
melon patch. Saturate the ground around the
hills whenever you have suds. and thereby
not only supply moisture, but also most ex-

- In trausplanting trees all the roots which
may have become bruised or broken in the
process Of lifting should be cut clean away be-
hind the broken part, as they then more readi-

all such cases the cut should be clean, sloping

unripe, yet full-grOwn specimens, and placed
them in prepared cavity in the haymow when

ing evidences of his power and love; but, alas,
they were slow to learn, backward to believe,
needless of example, ungrateful for frequent
interpretations of Providence.
z. Suggestions.
l. Be patient. Avoid fretfulness Glide
gently Call no names. Bear with those dull
to learn. (Rey., 10; 1910; IA u; Pet,
1860 Ministers must not grow petulaut and
scold congregations. If persons do not become
Christians after repeated efforts, the clergy must
still labor and wait. Teachers must not get
cross and want pupils to be too studious
2. Give God the glory due him. Let us
never claim ate do this or that, when in fact
the credit belongs to God. Get behind the
cross as Christian workers and put Christ for
ward.
3. Be right yourself before you criticise
others. 1t will not do to be angry, and then
charge others with being rebels
a. Believe God. Want of faith otfends him
and leads to sad consequences even in this life.
est. Matt, 10: IS; st. Lu., II As; Heb IL 6 !;
Rev.. 81: 81 Doubling God is a radical sin,
and father of an evil offspring.
s. Fear to do wrong. You cannot be such q
favorite of God that he will overlook your sins.
God is set against wiekedness and this case of
the punishment of Moses is recorded to intimi-
date US.
g. Cooperate with God. He would have US
work with him. Moses was to speak For Gsd,
and be the agent for securing the water So
each of us has mission of mercy to others.
T. Though Gods ministers may err, the peo-
pie can yet De benefited. The good of sacra-
ment, e. O., does not depend ON the Clergyman.
Though Moses was presumptuous and hasty,
yet the people had the water.
g. When we strive with Gods ministers we
do with God. OF. v. 13 with VS.. 2-6)
g. Christ is the Roek-the water of life.
The National tribune., 1888-09-06
3. The Circumstances.

The children OF Israel were in great straits
for water. But they had experienced emer-
gencics, as, for example, at The time Of the last
plague in Egypt; at the Red Sea; when ont
of bread and furnished with mama; when in
vicinity of Mt. Sinai when furnishing for water.
When any want presented itself they became
frantic, unbelieying, rebellious complaining.
They ragged against Moses and Aaron. and even
presumed to censure God, and all this after 10
wears of training
