A bill was introduced in the Unit
ed States Senate recently by Mitchell
of Oregon, relative to settlers home
steads. 1t provides that whore set
tiers have entered 100 acres of land
and settled upon 50 acres OF surveyed
land they may extend the boundary
of their claim over the so acres ad-
jacent to the land which may be I'M
surveyed, and when it is surveyed
by the United States the lines of
survey shall conform to the settlers
lines already established. Under
the present laws settlers frequently
find that United States survey lines
vary from their own and make diff
ference Of several acres to their pref
udice.

A FOrcthle Illustration.

A somewhat eccentric person in
southern Virginia was intending to
preach from the text, Sand the spir-
it of the Holy Ghost descended like
a dove" 1t occurred to him it would
illustrate the text forcibly to have a
dove let down with string from the
ventilator above the pulpit just as he
uttered the words. So an old negro
servant was brought to the church on
Saturday and sent up in the garnet to
rehearse letting down the dove. 1t
worked to perfection, and on Sabbath
morning the old darkey was again
sent to the garnet before the opening
hymn. The preacher reached the
words, Sand the spirit of the Holy
Ghost descended like dove, but the
dove didn't descend. The text was
repeated, and still no dove appeared
A third time the parson repeated the
words, and then glanced up at the ell
evator to see what was wrong. Slow
ly the ventilator opened, and in the
space appeared woody head. "Say
Nasal" said the darkey, "lse fraid
de Holy Gose cant show up to-day
Ole cats bin up var an chawed hi
whole dam head off,"

Attention was called in the New
Mexico Legislature recently to the
fact that sheriff of Grant county was
allowed four horses and charged for
ten days an aggregate mileage OF
81 $50 miles, or more than 500 miles
a day for each horse. The account
was sworn to and the court approved
the same. This is sufficient proof
that New Mexico is the place to raise
fast horses. Kentucky cannot pro-
duce four horses that can average SOC
miles day for ten days.

1t is remarked that all the money
which the world possesses to-day
would purchase only one-third of its
railways, since the railroads are worth
nearly s3o,000,000,00O. The rail
road business is one that is inereas-
ing at an almost incredible rate of
speed. In 1875 the worlds railways
aggregated 10000 miles, while in
1885 there were over 100000 miles OF
railroad, thus showing an increase OF
l14,000 in ten years, or, on an aver
age, upwards of 900 miles year.
When 1t is considered that this would
mean the laying each year OF railway
enough to reach nearly half around
the earth, the magnitude Of the in.

They are Here as Well as Elsewhere,

The Chenoa. Illinois, Gazette says
Every growing town is composed of
three elements. Those who work intelli-
gently and vigorously for it's advance
ment and future good; those in a state OF
chronic indifference, and those who take
delight in throwing wet blanket upon
and discouraging all efforts OF Others by
persistent denial that any progress can
be made and who boast of every town
being superior to their own. We term the
last "croakers." but they really are
something worse, for the opposition
comes from an enviable spirit that will
neither act for itself nor allow Others to
do SO.
So soon as a town ceases to improve it
begins to decay, and if it's people try to
depreciate the business of each other the
more rapid the decay. If a person shows
the ability to prosper don't pull him
backward through jealousy or crowd
him down with cold Indifference.
