The "sWidest.Seeno Man.

Two Kentuckians. military men,
got into discussion in Washington,
not long ago, on the question of what
man in al history was seen by the
greatest number of human beings,
from first to last during the course of
his whole life. They discussed all the
noted men, from Christ's time to the
present day, and unanimously decided
that General Grant was the man, and
the Colonel summed up as follows:
eyer bet, Major. First he was seen
with that everlasting cig-yar O. his in
the Western army and the Army of
Virginia. Then he was President. In
those II years he was seen by at least
100000 people. They say on an
average half million people visit
Washington every year, counting in
inaugurations and big blowouts. Then
think of his travels away from Wash
lngton. Why, was in Philadelphia
when George w. Childs gave him that
reception before he sailed down the
Delaware to 60 round the world. The
people just seemed like the sands of
seashore and the leaves of the forest.
Just think of that journey round the
world; first to England, then France,
and Spain, and Scotland, and Ger
many, and Turkey, and Egypt, and all
through India, Siam, China, Japan
and then that tremendous welcome in
California. Think of the big cities
that turned out to see him. Why,
| the Gar had Grant review his whole
army. 1 reckon not less than 100000
600 people saw Grant, first to last.
Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Bis
marck, Queen VictOria-well, what's
the use of talking. They weren't in
it with Grant, Washington STAR

Natural Oyster Beds.

The state land commission handed
down its decision yesterday in the ia
nous oyster bed cases from Mason
county, in which that body finds that
the same is now and have been natur.
al oyster beds, consequently not sub
ject to sale under the law.
The decision was drawn by Erastus
Brainerd and treats exhaustively OF
the questions involved, considering
oyster beds under three heads, viz
What scientific men say, the law and
decisions relating thereto, and the
facts in the case in controversy. The
able document is some 5000 words in
length. After laying down the pre-
misses the finding is in the following
words:
We find therefore upon the lands
| applied for, the water and the bottoms
are suitable for the habitat of oysters
that native oysters have grown upon
them at all times is quantities not less
than one to every ten square yards,
that native oysters have grown spon-
taneously, have been depleted and
have reproduced again upon the spot !;
that oysters have been produced for
years in marketable quantities; that
the beds have been resOrted to for Oys-
tiers for domestic use and for market !;
that the immature oysters have been
at all times returned to their native
beds, upon which if left to themselves
they would have matured and repro
duced; that at no time for ten years
prior to the filing of the applications
have the beds upon the land ceased to
be natural oyster beds; that they now
are natural oyster beds within the
meaning of tie law of March 9, 1891
and that the applications be rejected
for the reasons as stated.
