Certain spots in London that are occu-
pied with Dillboards for theater posters
and other advertising contrivances are
becoming as valuable as though they
held the finest buildings. A little cor
ner of land in Victoria street, Westmin-
ster, that has remained waste for some
thing like twenty years, abuts on one of
the lofty palaces that flank Victoria
street, and it seems an easy and natural
thing to build new wing on it. The
owner was asked whether it was not a
sad thing fer him to have this land, ono
OF the most valuable sites in London, I'M
occupied. He smiled a satisfied smile,
pointed to the billboards and mentioned
the income derived from the advertise
ments. Asked if he should build, ODE
cidedly not" was the reply.-Cor. Bos-

Representative Hermann has intro
duced bill authorizing the Coos Bay,
Roseburg & Eastern Railway and Navi-
CATION Company to construct and main
tain bridge across the Coal Bank slough
in Coos county. 1t contains the same
general provisions as all bills providing
for bridges over navigable streams.
1t took year to get out the instruc-
tons to land officers when the old
Oregon Central grant was forfeited be-
fore the land officers could receive en-
tries. 1t would have taken nearly as
long had the Oregon delegation not been
so persistent in urging the Interior De-
partment officials to act in the case Of
the Northern Pacific forfeiture case.
There has not been a week since the
passage Of the bill that some member of
the delegation has not visited the de-
partment on this business.
The Commissioner OF the General
Land Office, who is preparing his in
structions to Registers and Receivers on
the forfeited Northern Pacific lands,
says in reference to the second section
that it confirms to the city of Portland
the riparian rights and certain land
sought to be conveyed by the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company. This the
law expressly provides, and the state
ment of the Commissioner only shows
that tn lawyers of the Department so
construe the law.
In TIE House, Post of of Illinois intro
duced for reference a bill to convert
United States legal tender notes from
government promises to pay into legal
tender. Government promises to re-
ceive and restore to circulation the gold
held in the treasury for the redemption
OF United States notes. The notes shall
declare on their face: "This is United
States note for - dollars, and will be
received and paid out at all government
Offices and repositories for all payments
which are not by law required to be
made in coin.'
The report of the committee on Indian
affairs, which was made last week on
the bill for right of way over Umatilla
Indian reservation for an irrigating
canal, recommends amendments grant
ing fifty feet on each side of the canal,
and providing that this grant shall not
impair the present right of any person
now using the waters of the Umatilla
river or streams from which the waters
Of the canal are to be diverted, and a
further amendment makes the appraise-
ment Of lands and compensation for
damages and survey of the canal subject
to the approval of the Secretary Of the
Interior.

years.
Miss Gwendolin Caldwell, who gave
the Catholic university in Washington
$250,000 and failed to marry Prince
Murat, is reported to be about to enter
a convent.
Kossuth, the great Hungarian patriot,
is passing his old age in the bitterness
OF poverty. He is "a years old, feeble
ard sad-hearted, and will not long re-
main unclaimed of death.
Jerry Simpson, the sockless states
man, has taken to wearing glasses be-
cause gold frames make him look dis

Mrs. Belle Wooster Higgins, OF Sulli-
van, Me-, has had nineteen years of sea
life, and has sailed to every part of the
globe. She is an expert in navigation,
and could take a ship to any port, foreign
or domestic, should it ever become nee
essary.

The late King of Holland would never
permit his daughter to learn German,
although it is her mothers native
tongue. Now that she j. queen and her
own mistress as well, she will probably
be taught German, as it is an accom-

Europe is expected to possess. The
little Queen speaks French to perfection.

WHY Crabs and HOLSTERS Are Red.

The shell OF the crab and lobster owes
its blush gray color to the superposition
of two pigments or coloring matters
which have been isolated-a red pigment
and blue one. AS long as these two
pigments exist simultaneously the crus-
taceans remain gray. But the blue pig
ment is very fugitive, and sometimes
under the influence of a disease it is de-
stroyed, and crabs are found with por-
lions of their shell more or less reddish.
When the crustaceans are immersed in
boiling water the blue pigment is en-
tirely destroyed, and the red pigment,
which is very stable, appears alone in all
its brilliancy.-La Science en- Famille.

Cotton Stalk Bagginp.

The manufacture of bagging from the
cotton stalk, which was commenced not
long ago, is rapidly on the increase. Ex-
pert cotton men declare the product to
be fully equal to any other bagging ma
terial, being quite as strong as jute, less
infammable and only shade darker.
The cotton stalks have heretofore been
a troublesome incumbrance of the CLEAN
ed fields They had to be beaten down
and burned or plowed in for the succeed
ing crop. They are now, however, worth

stitute very handsome source of reve-

OVER WILD BILLS GRAVE.

salutes Fired by Frontiersmen in Honor
of the Dead shots Memory
There has been another red letter day
in the history Of Deadwood. That was
the dav on which Wild Bill was killed by
McCaull Though a popular man, Bill
was dead shot, and McCaull could not
have killed him if he had not approached
him treacherously. McCaull was imme-
diatelv locked up, but the excitement be-
came so great that Il mob assembled for
the purpose of trying, convlctlng and
lvnching him. While the proceedings
were in progress the clatter of hoofs was
heard and man on horseback appeared
riding mt full speed with his reins in his
teeth and with rifle i'll one hand and an
Indians dripping head in the other. He
had shot and killed the Indian just out
side of Deadwood, and the event was
considered of so much Importance that
the crowd forgot its lynching and pro-
ceeded to crafty its thirst for vengeance
by contemplating the CORY trophy which
rolled at its feet McCaull was after
ward taken to Yankton, where he was
hanged by the neck in lawful manner.
w lIu Dill was Dl1 lCNt III bAAO OAN SOAAAS
terv with rude white board at his
head, but five years later some of his
friends exhumed the body and gave it
proper burial in the new cemetery on
Mount Moriah. 1t was reported at that
time that Wild Bills body had turned
to stone, and man came here not long
afterward and offered the undertaken
$15, 900 if he would help him steal it for
purposes of exhibition. Since then there
have been many inquiries about the case,
but no one believes that the body was
petrifed. Bills new grave on the mount
ain top shows that it is the resort Of
many curiosity seekers. A path is worn
across lots to it from the main wagon
road, and the white headboard has been
whitfield away by relic hunters until it
resembles big toOthpick.
One man appears TO have worked
knot out of the board, and the ground
all about the well beaten grave is cover
ed with cartridge shells. There are
frontiersmen, it appears, who show their
regard for Bills memory by standing
upon his grave and emptying their re-
volvers into the air, throwing away their
cartridge shells as they reload. The other
day the city marshal found it necessary
to run in one of these fellows, who had
done little else for week except shoot
his revolvers over Wild Bills grave. The
man appeared to have genuine regard
for the dead mans memory, and as he
submitted to arrest he expressed his
sense of the outrage in most forcible
I terms.-Cor. Chicago Herald.

The Big Desert Can Be Reclaimed.

NJ. J. Dybowsh ridicules the popular
notion that the Sahara consists largely of
shifting sands and contends that this hot
region might be colonized and utilized
for agricultural purposes. All that it
needs is water; and the main drift of NJ.
Dybowski's communication is to show
how abundant this is at small depths be-
low the surface. In many parts palms,
when once planted, can reach it with
their roots. In others very shallow ar
tesian wells suffice, and the water flows
continuously. He advocates system Of
irrigation from artesian wells, and, as a
proof of the abundance of water, men
lions one such well that yields over a
thousand gallons per minute. When
once palms are established the whole
aspect is changed by rich vegetation that
grows around them.

The PIumage of the AIbatross.


The most valuable part of the alba
tross is its plumage. The neck, breast
and belly are snowy white, shading deli
cately into gray and dusky brown at the
sides and back, and the feathers are so
curled and elastic that the skin with the
plumage ON it is an inch or an inch and a
half thick. No finer material can be got
for muffs, cuffs, collarets, capes or the
trimming or lining of cloaks and robes.
1t is very light, yet exceedingly warm,
while for appearance its dove like
smoothness and purity cannot be ex-
celled. 1t has the advantage, too, of
being very durable, the natural oil of the
bird preserving the skin and feathers for
many years, while the characteristic
muszy odor is easily overcome by cam
phor.
1t is a wonder that some enterprising
furrier or modiste does not set the fashion
of wearing albatross plumage and send
to Antipodes or the Crosets for a seasons
supply. There would be money in it,
not only by its novelty but by its useful
ness. At the same time l hope it will
not be done, because if once the skin of
the albatross acquired a commercial
value, and the ruthless hand of fashion
were laid on its smooth, white neck, the
poor bird would soon be driven from it's
secluded haunts and might even be in
danger of determination. May the day
be far distant when the trader shall in
wade the home of the albatross or the
pot hunter disturb its ancient, solitary
reign.-Exchange
