the money the Federal government is getting
 from the acquisition and sale of the Mormon
 church propertyi A receiver was appointed
 last fall to take control of this property un-
 der the Edmunds law. At first the hierarchy
 tried to conceal its wealth, and stubbornly
 resisted every step taken by the receiver. But
 at length, seeing that resistance was useless,
 the Church submitted to the inevitable and
 has now surrendered property valued at
 nearly eight hundred thousand dollars. Much
 of this is now in the form of cash in the re-
 ceiver's hands. What shall he do with it2 It
 has been proposed to turn it into the school fund of the territory. But the difficulty with
 this plan is that while in some school dis
 tricts the non-Mormon population is in con-
 trol, as rule the Utah school system is thoroughly under Mormon management.
 A war claim of rather peculiar character has just passed the house of representatives. When the army of the Cumberland captured Chattanooga and began to fortify 1t, the walls of SS. Peter and Paul's Catholic church which was being built there were unfinished. They were of cut stone and great deal of the material was lying about the grounds. The walls and all the loose stone were built into the Qualifications of the place and other wise used for war purposes. Some of it was subsequently returned to the office of Gen. eral Thomas staff, who estimated the balance of damage at SIS, TOO. The claim was that this amount should be awarded. It was proved that the then priest was loyal, and that his present successor is Union man. The title of the church property is in the bishop of the diocese, and the money will be paid to him if the bill becomes 8 law. It seems that the quarternaaster's department had already restored the schurches ofsother seets which had bsen used by our troops in Chattanooga #gisd Iad osas.' zs53 a!ssssI
 The southern newspapers find trouble in writing Sheriden's obituary. The Charles ton News and Courier presents this judgment of him: There is nothing in his military ex- ploits, as such, to canse him to be considered with less kindness than Gen.. Grant W as. The difference is that no spark of magnaniraity was ever discovered by the South in Sheri- dams character. The wanton burning and marrying in the valley of Virginia is an inef- faceable blot on his record. The coarseness of the man was painted in his own brutal boast, when his ruthless work was accom- plished, that Ca crow traversing the valley would be obliged to carry his rations." This was followed, in peace, by his arbitrary and tyrannical conduct in Louisiana in the recon struction period, and by the never-to- be-for- gotten recommendation in later years that the white league in Louisiana be considered "banditti" and be dealt with by military commission or drum-head court martial These spots will not out at anybody's bid ding. But there is now no North, no Southl Gen. Sheridan belongs to the nation, to all Americans, to censure or to praise. It is proper that all Americans should now recall his personal heroism; his vigor in attack, ,and his energy in pursuit.

How difficult to protect the system against it's further progress towards the lungs liver and kidneys, all physicians will admit. It is terrible disease and cries out for relief and cure
 The remarkable curative powers when all other remedies utterly fail of Sanford's Radical Cure are attested by thousands who gratefully recommend it to fellow sufferers. No statement is made re- gardng 1t that cannot be substantiated by the most respectable and reliable references.

 The State Teachers association of North Carolina, an organization of colored people, has begun the publication of monthly edu- cational journal called tsThe Progressive Educator" The first number issued is cred itable in every way. It is well printed and well edited, and will doubtless take it's place among the best and ablest of such publica- tions. The colored people of this country are making rapid progress.
 A London correspondent writes from Fin land that property holder in one of the interior towns of the province left will be- queathing all his possessions to the Devil. The dead mans family protested that the will was void, but the Finnish lawyers were disinelined to interfere with the rights of so formidable parsonage as the new legatee, and, the correspondent adds, the Devil has become, by legal right at least, a Finnish land owner.
 The practice of medicine in China is a mys- terious affair.

In 1873 only 5000 boxes were made. The State had first to learn how to make raisins and then to persuade people to buy them. In 1880 the production had reached 25, ,000 boxes. It steadily increased to 175,- 600 in 1884, and the following year jumped to half million. The increase has since continued and bids fair to continue, Seven hundred thousand boxes were turned out ir
