contains about $50 acres of land, suitably
divided into tillage, pasturage, and wood
land, and is in high state of cultivation.
the barn is 64xS0, with basement under
the whole, and on the back side is leanto
or annex, 1880. At the end of this and at
the lower side of the yard is another
building, 12x60 Both of these are very
conveniently divided into pens for hogs.
a new building has been built this sum-
mer, 30x20, the basement of which is used
for lumber wagons, farming tools, etc.,

The Commoner, Mr. Bryan's
paper, will be especially interesting
and instructive during the present
session of congress. The action of
this congress will probably deter
mine the issues upon which the next
presidential campaign will be fought
The Commoner proposes to carry on
campaign of education and organi-
cation to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial de-
partmenu, which receives Mr.. Bry
ans personal attention, The Com
moner contains Current Topic de
partment, wherein a non-partisan
discussion of topics of timely inter
est and other valuable information
will be found. The Home Depart
ment is conducted by an experienced
woman who is widely known as
writer of household topics and who
is an authority on the art of cooking
in all that the term implies. This
department alone is worth the sub
scription price The other depart
ments of the paper are all interest
ing and ably conduct ed, among
which is summary of the worlds
news told in narrative style, and
Mr. Maupin's department-Wheth-
err Common or Not-eontalns origin
al anecdotes and wit, moral lessons in
homelv phrase and verse, and APP
peals to old and young alike.
The Commoner as whols is clean
entertaining and instructive, and its
rapid increase in eirculation-now
amounting to 140,000--is proof of
the papers strength and influence.
Arrangements have been made
With Mr.. Bryan whereby The Com
,uoner can be supplied at very low
rate with The New DOMINION, both

off,.f applies to hota new and renew
al su subscriptions, and should be taken

Out Interesting Records. PARIS, Dec. 14.-Under the authori- Y of M. Delcasse, minister of foreign srairs, B. Spencer Pratt. former Unit B States minister to Persia, is mak- hg extensive researches in the arch res of the foreign office relative to the fansfer of the province of Louisiana N France to the United States. The
 vestigation has brought to light all zction, including the confidential letters
 the French minister at Washington Sdvising his government as to the va
 ous stages of the negotiations and he letters and documents signed by
 resident Jefferson and Secretary of tate Madison. Many of these have sitherto been unavailable owing to the
 nles of the foreign office, which have prevented the copying of documents in be archives.
 In speaking of his investigations MT. fratt said:
 "One of the most curious documents pund Is an autograph letter of Louis w. giving away the vast Louisiana brritory to his cousin, then king of pain, as a present The fact of this lift has heretofore been known only in general way. but the text of the let hr discloses the casual nature of the lit and also the fact that Louis XIV. lreviously offered Louisiana to Great sritain, which refused to accept it. .'The letter of the king of Spain ac- 'epting the present refers to the fur her strengthening of the union of the |wo nations by number of royal in Later documents show he recession of Louisiana by Spain to france and give minute details of the |ale by Napoleon of the provincN to the bnited States
