was Lost-DescrIptton OF the
JeweIry She Wore.
Frank Paulson, whose sister was passenger
in the second section of the Day Express, that
was wrecked at Johnstown, returned home last
night. Mr. Paulson has been at the scene of
the disaster since Monday, and only returned
when he learned positively that his sister was
lost. Miss Jennie was on the train with an old
friend, Miss BRYANT of Germantown Both
young ladies had been bridemaIds the night
before at the wedding of Miss Paulson's cou-
sin. They both had their corsage bouquets, that
OF Miss Paulson being red, and Miss Bryant's
was white. Miss Paulson and her friend can
not be found, but it is known that thew were
swept away in the flood Miss Paulson wore
four rings. One was plain gold band, one a
diamond, one cameo and the other was a
gold hand with four stones She wore
also a bracelet that would attract attention as
something out of the ordinary run of brace
lets. Her brothers, who were most devoted to
her, think that her body may vet be found
from this description of her jewelry.

THE ARID LANDS.

There is a great deal of good land still left unocoupied in this country, and there is also much land that can probably be made good. The special committee of the senate charged with examining the arid lands of the United States and the possibility of retaining them by irrigation will begin it's work this week. The committee will go into Montana, South- ern Idaho. Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, in all of which believed possible to reclaim and make fertile by the application of water. In Nevada, for instance, 1t is claimed that there are at least 5000, ,OGO acres of land which can be made to grow grain and fruit. In the Humbolt valley 1t is said that population of 100, ,00O people could be supported If, at comparatively small expense, the water can be turned on. The Carson valley will be examined as an Il, lustration of what has already been accom- plished by water storage and irrigation. The splendid results of irrigation in Southern California will also be examined. Major Powell estimates that 1t is possible by irriga- tion to reclaim from aridity to fertility an area equal to eight States ss large ss Indiana. At least 125 25.000,000 acres can be, within a few years, brought under cultivation at nc great cost. Twenty five acres of irrigated land are reckoned at the West to be equal to 100 acres of ordinary farming land, 80 tha. here We might have, in round numbers, 30, 900, 900 farms of five acres each. capable oi supporting a population of 100,000,000. Ii Is believed that this could be accomplished al cost of $50, ,00O, ,000.
 Fifty millions of dollars would be small amount to spend for the accomplishment ol such . result. What pity 1t Is that a part of the water which has fallen on the fertil. part of this country this year couldn't hay, fallen on the arid lands.

 Tho Memphis Avalanche is speaking its mind concerning the negro question, and what it says is decidedly interesting. The Hartford Courant asked: els 1t possible for a white Republican to encourage his black neighbors and fellow citizens to vote the Republican ticket without inaaming their passions and prejudicss" To this question the Avalanche replies ss fellows: There is nc necessity for encouragement. They cannot be persuaded to vote any other ticket except the Republican ticket, when they go to the polls at all. In many of the black districts it is necessary, however, to sinfame thei, passions and pIsjudices," before they will ge to the polls. Except for the miserable sohemers who have no other than selfish purpose at heart, they would remain quietly at hoAe on election day, content with theil lot, blowing their crops and getting star in the world. They are unable to intelli' gently exercise the right of suffrage; they art undtted for the public service; then why should they be disturbeda They ought to b. let alone. If they are not, and those wh' would use them stir them up, persuade then to leave their labors and to endeavor b, | mere force of numbers to defeat the intelli geace of the community, is it surprising tha l such interference should be resenteds
 It is astonishiu0that anybody should wan

Next week Kentucky will elect State treasurer and legislators, and judging from the utterances of the Democratic papers of the State one might think that the Republi- cans were going to win. But is is not prob- able that they will.
 The Democrats in Louisiana, like those of Kentucky, are not entirely satisfied with the ! outlook. The New Orleans Picayune warns 1 the Democrats of the third Louisiana district that the situation is serious, and that the l Republicans are likely to elect their candi- date for the vacant seat unless the Democrats make extreme efforts.
