Hi HENRY MINsTRELs

presented an excellent program last evening
in Granite Hall. The program was divided
into three parts, and the audience got show
enough to last them for some time to come.
"Lorett" brought tears of laughter to every
eye in the audience. There were about 100
people in the hall and all were delighted with
the entertainment. The audience, however,
missed the good ushering that is usually
found at the hall, and some grumbling was
heard from those who had trouble in finding
their rightful seats

IMPORTANT DECISION.

The following is a synopsis of Judge Barnes decision in the case of the United States against H. K. Hidebrant, charged with smuggling cattle across the line:
 Finding that the party did not intend to defraud the revenue defeats the for ielture < and think it is the law that where an owner of cattle which range near the lIne keeps his men riding on the line, to turn back the cattle that stray across into Mexico, and they do turn them back, that the cattle so returned back are not imported; but suppose cat tie stray off and stay there on another range in Mexico, and become wonted- of course each case must he decided on on it's own facts-and then you bring them back here, am inclined to think i, is an importation, and unless released by the Secretary of the Treasury the duties ought to be paid.
 So Il becomes a question of fact.
 Simply bringing animals back l don't think is any importation, but if animals pasture away onto another range, and become wonted to another range, and you go and round them up once a year and then bring them back into the United States, then they are dutiable. If he then wants to bring them back into the United States he must bring them back on the conditions that the United States imposes.

Her Ambition ReaIized.

city missionary relates this interestinp and not wholly uninstructive tale in con nec'ion with his labors among the destitute. The incident occurred last winter, but the sral is of continued application that keeps < fresh.
 He found in the course of his examination # 0 certain district woman who was not only wretchedly destitute but seriously i'll be. sides She seemed a very decent and not undeserving person, an impression which ac- corded with the reputation given her by her neighbors, and the missionary interested him. self in her behalf, calling to his aid couple of ladies who were members of the Associated Charities. Everything needful for tha com fort of the W oman was done Her room was kept ill order, she was provided with nurse, the young ladies brought her delicacies, and when at last the patient was thoroughly con- valeseent, they presented her with S5 as help toward starting once more on the way of earning her own living
 A day or two later the missionary called. and was pleasantly received by the poor wo- man, who evinced due gratitude for all the kindness she had received. Then with over flowing satisfaction and an absolutely child like delight, the pauper produced from a closet new and remarkably gay bonnet.
 "There," she said, beaming with satisfac- tion, 'don't you thins that is pretty? All my life I've wanted bonnet with a feather in it, and when 1 got that S5 all at once said to myself that now was my chance to have one. The man asked S7 for it, but told him S5 was all 1 had and he'd have to let me have it for that; and true as you're alive he did"
 The missionary looked at the bonnet, re- garded the woman, opened his lips, and wisely recognizing the futility of remon- strance, closed them again. The story is lit- erally true, and very likely sould be matched by any city visitor of long experiencss- Providence Journal.

Advlces from San Carlos say that last week an Apache buck got on a tlswln drunk and was put In the guard house. After he had sobered up he begged to have his wife and child brought to him. Some time thereafter screams were heard and the inside of the guard house was filled with. smoke. The Indian came to the door with big knife iu his hand, covered with fresh blood, and yelled out that he wanted to kill one white man and one Indian scout, and then he was prepared to die. Several efforts were made to get in the guard house, but the Apache fend with knife in hand dehed entrance. Finally the smoke drove him out With a knife in one hand and club in the other he dashed at the sergeant of the guard, but before he could accomplish his work he was pierced by half dozen bullets ard fell dead. On entering the guard house it was discovered he had cut the throat of his wife and child from ear to ear, placed them on the bed and set it on fire.

ADJUSTING SPANISH LAND GRANTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. I4 The sub. com mi,tee of the house committee on terri tories, consisting of Messrs. Hayes, Man. sur, Warner, Symes and Jacobs, to which was referred all proposed legislation affecting the Spanish and Mexican land grants in Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, was in session all day together with Governor Ross of New Mexico, and Delegate Smith of Arizona, and consider ed the various measures presented for the purpose of quetiag ti;le to these grants.
 Although there was some difference of opinion, in deference to the wishes of Messrs. Symes, Joseph and Smith, who believe that the measure IS likely to be approved 5y their constituents, and also by the senate, it was agreed to report to the full committee on Wednesday next a bill modelled somewhat after the Com mission act of 1854 which was passed to settle similar land claims in California A bill to the same effect passed the house at the Forty-ninth Congress, but failed in the Senate.
 It is proposed, however, to amend that bill by inserting clause authorizing the commission created by the act to appoint committee to visit foreign countries to examine the records and archieves thereof when the interests of the United States or of home clmants demand the same and when it appears that some of the present titles are based upon what are calmed ito be copies of original records and are believed to be fraudulent. The three commissioners are required to be skilled in the Spanish and English languages and are to be governed by the terms of the Guadaloupe Hidalgo and Gadsden treaties.

SAM SMALL'S BROTHER. Why Did God Make so Much Outdoors? Two Women's Experiences.
"Sam Small Evanoelist I"

"Sam Small, Evangelism"
 The proverbial philosophy of cold Si," he venerable plantation darkey, who gave to the world through the medium Of Small's s pen maxims of worldly wis dom, clothed in a verbiage of irresistible hunor, has found permanent place in humorous literature.
 Great surprise was shown when it was announced that he, having been converted under the ministrations of "Sam Jones'" would become an evan gelist.
 At first though, humorist in the pulpit seems incongruous. Is it really so?
 No doubt the mere buffoon attempting to turn mems hearts to solemn truths would meet with only contempt. But truth is not hidden in gloom. Genuine humor frequently illustrates and fastens in the mind bits of wisdom that would otherwise pass unheeded.
 In his eulogy of Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. Parker says: Whenever he came among men, he brought June sun shine and music, and made even des- bonding and surly men feel that fuller and warmer summer, the Kingdom of Heaven, itself was 'at hand'" That is genial christianity.
 Mir. small belongs to a witty family. He has brother connected with Armoy Knox's and ''Fat Contributor's" TcrGs Sifinqs, a paper which has had pheno- menal success in the field oi humorous literature Nr, Frank A. Small is the present represetative of that popular
 l, ,,a guished brother, he takes deep in terest in the welfare of other people.
 Under date of AS Porten Road, Kens- ington w. London, Eng, Sept. P, 1887, he writes "While at Yalding in Kent yesterday, l met Prof. s. Williams, Head Master of the Cieaves Endowed school. In the course of conversation about America. Professor Williams re, marked that Warmers safe cure had been of great benefit to his wife, who had been much troubled with a dlsordered liver. Warmers safe cure Gan American preparation) was all she had taken, and she had experienced none of her old trouble for some months past.
 Mrs. Annie Jenness-Miller, editor oi New York Dress, and very popular woman in the fashionable world says in her own magazine for October: 'War ner's safe cure is the only medicine ] ever take or recommend. In every in stance it gives new energy and vitality tc all my. powers" This distinguished woman also says that for ladies this great remedy is peculiarly effective" Sam Small is likely to succeed as 2 moral teacher. When we remembel how near together in human nature lie the fountains of laughter and of tears the deep effect his discourses must have on the masses can easily be imagined
 "Why did God make so much out doors ?'' exclaimed a little girl. We know not He has made it and we shoult grow in it, broad, charitable and genial judging everything by n.arit, not by pre- iudice.
