 The Argentine Republic has informed the State department ct Washington that 750,- GOO, 900 acres of government land in that country have been divided up into small tracts of from 500 to 1000 acres each. These are now offered for sale very cheap, the price being about $1 an acre. The whole area is divided into ten different sections, one to be settled by the natives of that country, and the others assigned to different European nations and to the United States. This plan has been adopted after great deal of delib- eration, as the best means of inviting immi- grafton. The land is chiefly valuable for grazing purposes and for stock raising, but is of some value in an agricultural way. The climate is healthy and temperate.

OLD STEAMER CHAIRS.
What Becomes of the Thousands
 Which are Left Behind.

What Becomes of the Thousands
 Which are Left Behind.
 [From the New York Mail and Expressl
 There is an average of about one out of every twenty cabin passengers on the incem- ing steamships who, on arrival, do not for- get to carry their steamer chairs ashore with them.
 The chairs are kept at the dock for week or two and then removed to huge building in Hoboken, which is almost filled with these reclining chairs. Many have the full name of the owner painted on the back, while all are marked in some manner.
 Many of the chairs are valuable, though tae great majority are cheap affairs, costing, new, but from two to four dollars, apiece. The steamship companies cannot sell the chairs or destroy them, as hardly week passes but some ex passenger sends a letter requesting that s'my chair, properly marked, i" bs sent to this, that or the other address, sometimes out fn the West.
 This request frequently necessitatss an en- tire days work among the hundreds of chairs in the Hoboken store house, and usually wreck. It is sent to the owner immediately, however, but he never thinks about the days wages paid to the searchers by the steamship company, and probably throws the thing away when he receives it.
 It is estimated that from three to five thou sand chairs accumulate every year by each of the most popular transatlantic lines that are never claimed. Just what becomes of them is mystery. They are not sold or authori- lively destroyed. The average supply on hand is about four thousand for each compa- ny, mourning an expense of forty or fifty dollars a week.

The official who ordered this destructive work is not present himself to superintend it, but leaves it to be executed by ordinary men, devoid alike of judgment and taste. As the aggrieved property owners see the shade and ornament of their dwellings dis- appear, and the luxuriance, grace and sym metry of their trees transformed into scauti- ness, stiffness and shapelessness, and the 1 wreck of recent beauty piled on mammoth carts, and carried of, they turn away from tho galling scene with indignant and out ragged feelings, knowing that the loss they dsplors is irreparsble, and that their wrongs can have no redress.

If 8 corporation, firm or association shall be found guilty of 8 violation of the act, the penalty shall be a fine of from to 20 per cent. of its capital stock or money invest ed, and officers may also be fined and sent to jail. Moreover, any corporation organized und CT the laws of Missouri that violates this law thereby for. feits it's charter. If any Missouri corpora ton refuses to make answer under oath to the secretary's inquiry, the secretary of the State "shall immediately revoke the charter of said company" If 1t appears that Mis- souri corporation has violated the law it be- comes the secretary's duty to give notice to it that unless it shall withdraw from the com- bination its charter will be revoked at the expiration of thirty days.
 Under this law the secretary of the State has prepared list of 7,500 corporations dos ing businesss in the State, nearly 5000 oi which were organized under the laws oi Missouri, and he has applied to them for the information the law authorizes him to ob tain.

The Hired Girls Rights, So Far as

 From the American Agriculturist.l
 In England it is the law that when a per son hires domestic servant, unless it Is otherwise agreed, the hiring is for year, and if the employer wishes to discharge the servant before the time has expired he must give her months notice or months pay. So the servant must give months notice if she wishes to leave. There is no suoh law in this country. While 1t is very frequent for the mistress to expect a weeks notice from her servant before she leaves her place, and for the servant to expect similar notice or q weeks pay before discharge, such notice or pay Is not required by law. In the absence of any agreement between the parties the mistress has right to discharge her servant at any time, with or without good cause, and the servant has right to leave any time she takes a notion to do so. The fact that a girl is hired at . certain price per week does not require her to work the week out. Such
