TIE PUBLIC LANDS.
Commissioner Stone Criticises Some Of Mr..
Sparks Dwellings.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-The annual re-
port Of the acting commissioner OF the gen
eral land Office, William II. Stone, has
been submitted to the secretary of the in
TERROR. Ia opening his report the COM
missioner refers to the accumulation OF
business in the Office which had been left
over from the former administration and
which was partly due to the increase OF
local land offices. The system, in force, he
says, is not promotive Of the steady dis
patch of business especially in the case of
the board of review created by Commits
sioner Sparks which is abolished as him
drance to the good, safe and quick work Of
Che office.
Commenting on Mr.. Sparks unwar-
ranted suspicious that system Of fraud
prevailed and Nh Sparks assertion that
The proportion Of fraudulent filings TO the
total number Of filings made and relin-
pushed may be estimated IN round num-
bers at 100 per cent Mr.. Stone says:
This wholesale arraignment OF claimants
o. the public domain should not have
been made without the most conclusive
evidence TO sustain it,
The report goes on to say no general mis-
conduct on the part of the western setti ers
has beer found. During the year, 20, al
agricultural patents were issued, covering
4l,11,l1 acres of land. an increase
OF more than three million acres oyer the
proceeding year. Mineral patents to the
number of 9l3 covering an acreage of H.
09j were issued. There were patented for
the benefit of the railroads under the law
81, $50 acres, and under the swamp land
grants to the states $50 acres. The
state selections under the educational
grants were approved to the extent of
~, $50 acres and lands to the Indians pat
euted under various acts to the amount of
l53, 800 acres
The total cash receipts of the Office from
sales of land aud fees were S9.21O,-
~, "A decrease of more than
S3,cO0,000 as compared with the
previous year. During the year surveys
were accepted to the amount of 4.544, 372
acres, principally III Dakota, Montana and
New Mexico.
Commissioner Stone calls attention "to
certain allowances made to the deputy
surveyors by the first comptroller of the
treasury in the years of 1856 and 1887,
which in my opinion were grossly irregu-
lar and palpably a usurpation of powers
and duties specially belonging to the COM
missioner of the general land Office"

In FAVOR of Cremation.

Sir Spencer Wells has come out strongly in
favor of cremation. He argues that, however
light the covering of the dead body, its burial
in earth is Objectionable for the reason that
infective germs are in this way preserved
and carried about by water and air to operate
injuriously when Observation-Disclosures or
social states occur. The rapid growth of
population, and especially of urban popula-
ton, invests this question with ever increas-
ing Importance. There is evidence that the
number of crematories is steadily increasing

A breath Of passion dis AZ epace-
The world holds naught but you and mo
We seem two boats which idly drih
Upon smooth and boundless sea,
Your hammocks still as is the breeze
The time has merged oar hearts in tune
The air is dense with doors sweet
Oh, God, how rare this night of June
We talk De Musset, Lamartine-
The channel brings LIS to our fate
bow deaf we ere TO prompting voice.
How blind to all but dreams elata
Cur lives viii always be as now,
Each cleave to each foreverruore;
Then let the world say as it viii,
Wen madly dream till life is Ger.
Oh, blissful night; oh, rapturous time;
Oh, meeting eyes that look in mine,
Oh, smiling stars which brightly CLEAN,
Oh, air so fraught with passions wine.
We drift-what does it matter where.
The world holds naught but you ar ! me;
Well SAL together through all time
Across the smooth and boundless sea
October winds around me blow,
Our dream is wan and gray and dead;
Why did We heed the tempter's voice
Why did we follow where he led?
June's rose leaves nlingle with the vine;
We live apart, by passion cleft
4 friendship might have been divine;
But now, there's only coarseness left.

Hard on the Train Eoy.

Constantinople must be comfortable place
for an enterprising publisher. Last year
there were PIG books published in the city.
OF these lot 7ere in the Turkish language,
40 IL Greek, Al in Armenian, s in French, 3
in English, in Bulgarian, 3 in Hebrew, and
one in Volapuk. The city possesses forty
printing establishments. In such polyglot
community the Office of train boy must be
anything but easy. Ii they have train boys
in Turkey, it is only reasonable to suppose
that each one speaks seven languages, and
goes through the train with eyes practiced to
detect the right man for the right book

The Hghtness Of snowaakes is the result OF
their surface being 50 great when compared
with their volume, and is accounted for in
some degree by the large quantity of air amid
their frozen particles. Snowfakes contain
about nine times as many volumes of cir, Gu
tangled, go 20 speak, among their crystals, as
they contain water. Very fine and lightly
deposited snow occupies about twenty-four
times as much space IS water, and is from
