The large increase in the business OF
ofsthe New York Life in Iowa is due to
the history of unequel profits earned by
that company and to its payment of
heavy dividends on its maturing tontine
policies, which for years have exceeded
the dividends paid on any other plan Of
insurance or by any other company. and
to the efficient and able management of

how to dispose of these proofs is explain
ed by the following, from the Times.
A telegram was received from the COM
missioner of the general land Office s. Ne.
Stockslager, yesterday, by tho register
and receiver here, in response to an i'm
xuiry concerning land cases set for hear
ing, in which the commissioner ordered
scases which were set for hearing at the
Office in Deadwood should be continued
to day certain, and heard ct the land
Office at Rapid City.
In accordance with above instructions
Register Whiteside will gips such notice
ct proper time, to accommodate settlers
as far aspossible. In this portion of
the district the people are unanimously
opposed to the removal Of the Office from
Deadwood, and willie they admire the
perseverance, and, enterprise of the peo-
pie of Rapid, they are impressed with
the belief that unscrupulous methods
were resor4ed to, in securing the. order
for such removal. The ADVERTISER is
of the opinion that the records will show
alarger volume of business from land
entries and mineral matters in Butte and
Lawrence counties than from the three
counties in the district south Of here
But this fact matters not at present, and
the Office will be in Rapid on and after
Januasy Is 1883, occupying quarters

The Harbor of Greytovn.

The most difficult feature of the
Nicaragua canal is the restoration of
the harbor of Greytown, which has
been destroyed by silt deposit from
the San Juan river The United
States survey allows $1,767, 900 for
this purpose, but it may cost S., OOO,-
600. 1t is not more difficult, how
ever, than was the construction of o.
harbor at Port Said, and the work will
resemble it in character. The method
of restoration is a question whereon
opinions differ; that favored by the
United States engineers being the di-
version of the lower San Juan into
the Colorado branch, which already
carries to the eaneleven-twelfths of
the volume of the river. This can easily
be effected, and once the harbor is iso-
lated, it is intended to dredge it, and
to run breakwater 5000 feet from
the outer line of the harbor into the
Caribbean, with six fathoms at its sea-
ward end. The breakwater may have
to be subsequently extended seaward.
The soil is a volcanic sand, easily
handled, but difficult to locate per.
manently.-Overland Monthly.

Tire "Thunderer's' Retraction.

Years ago the great London Times
was power in the land of England,
and it has always been as stubborn as
powerful. 1t was strong enough to
be called the "thunderer. In its
younger days the thunderer was not
much of a blunderer. 1t made mis-
takes, of course, which others saw; but
it would retract nothing. 1t assumed
the virtues of king, and persuaded
itself that the Times could do no
wrong. That was before childishness
and Pigotts overcame it. 1t would
never acknowledge u fault, or take
back or correct anything once pub
lished. Once it struck q snag by pub
fishing a report that certain gentle
man had committed suicide by hang
ing himself. The gentleman happened
to be an English gentleman of consid-
cradle Importance, and he objected to
being slaughtered IN that way. He
called at the office of the thunderer
and said that he objected There was
dilemma for The Times. With an
English love for fair play it wanted to
be just, but it could not retract, and
did not like to contradict its own re-
port. For that once it promised to
make a correction. The gentleman
felt honored by the exception made in
his case and went away satisfied In
the morning, damp from the Walter
press, the thunderer came to him with
his coffee and rolls He read the COR
rection in his case. 1t said that there
was partial error in the statement
that the gentleman had actually COM
mitted suicide by hanging. 1t said
they had since learned the gentleman
had been cut down before life was ex-
tinct and had been resuscitated. New
