This provision was incorporated in the acts of ad- mission of all land states except Cali- fornia. In a number of cases tho per- centago was fixed at but two or three per cent. The object of this agreo- ment is plain and reasonablo, Under the pre-emption lawslands sold within the states by the governmunt are en- tirely exempt from taxation. The atate is given the duty of protecting the lives and property of citizens owning such lands, whilo it re- ceives in return no taxes to be used in maintaining the state and local governments, Five per cent. on 8§1.25 an acre is a very small per centage in lieu of taxes, and on this account the provision is equitable and just. It is no donation by the government, but acts a8 & premium to enable the na- tion to dispose of its lands rapidly to settlers. against the producers of the country joined to & too rapid extension of the railway eystem, confidence in the dividend earning oapacity of roads with highly inflated capital has zradu- ally dissppeared. And the railroad managers have no one to blame but themselves for a drooping market and nuspicious lambs on "change. s Trranxiety over the large guanti- ties of gold shipped from this country to Burope is premature. Sooner or Iater the $25,000,000 of gold exported since January lst will find its way back in money or in the form of ex- changes. Foreign bankers, well pmtn{d in regard to Amerioan invest- monts abroad, have been making ef- forta to purchase bonds and stocks of completed roads with a prorpective dividend earning capacity, and large premiums have been offered and ac- cepted for bonds on London ac- count, An , indieation of this is seen in the taking in London of $5,000,000 bonds of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fo railroad company. This loan, which was offered for popular Asas i subscription by the Baring Bros,, was subscribed for in less thsn two hours. The bonds were sold at 105 per cent., The objection to the present bill is that.i’, oompels the government to pay this per centage upon lands entered on military warrants.

Of the newer states Nebraska has paid more internal revenue in proportion to her population than any other, Mil- lions of acres of her domain was deeded to corporations, and are to- day entirely exempt from state taxa- tion. While nearly fifty two millions of acres of swamp and overflow lands have been patented by the govern: ment to various states, Nebraska has never received an acre. The $120,000 which, under the bill now pending before the ' house is appropriated for Nebraska, is a small sum in return for the tax immunities which, under the government laws, accrue to the settlers, and which deprive this state of a large amount of available revenue, There is no grab in the five per ocent. bill. Itis a measure drafted in the interest of simple justios to states which can ecasily avail themselves of its provisions, and its passage in the house ought not to be delayed.

The committee seleoted by Dins- more, who is known to be favorable to Carns, consisted of 0. H.

Rice, of Fremont, was chosen chairman of the meeting, and Representative H. L. Morey, ot Hamilton, secretary. On motion a committee of seven was appointed, ineluding Senators Sherman and Pendleton, with Representative But- terworth as chairman, to confer and act with the committee at Oincinnati in relation to the removal. Major Butterworth and Major Morey re- ported to the meeting that they had called on Mra, Sprague at Edgewood, aud presented to her the letter of the Cincinnati committee expressing a de- sirs of the people of Ohio to have the remains of her illustrious father re- moved to his native state aad laid to rest among the scenes of his early ef- forts and triumphs. Mrs. Sprague expreaysd herself as deeply gratified with this expression of regard to his memory. She said further that it was her father's wish and her own desire that his last resting place should be in Spring Grove; that she thought this an opportune time when the people of Oaio, of their own aecord, expi a desire to pay tribute to the memory of her father, to have the removal made, “I have,” said Mrs. Sprague, “always desired that when this re- moval was made it should be rever- ently and lovingly done.” Mra. Sprague expressed her preference for an earlier period than the one sug- gested by the Oincinnati committee, which was August 1. 8he preferred that it should be done before the freshness of summer passed away.

A year or so since there was a ‘“rodeo” out on Lost river, Lake county, - Ranchmen had gathered for a cirouit of seventy miles to claim and braud their young cattle, and when a cordon of men had surrounded a large band, among which was a Span- ish bull, a dispute arose about a ‘*mallet-head,” or ocalf that had escaped the spring branding; the dis- cussion grew warm, none of the stock owners bc(nq able to set up a valid claim or establish an undoubted title. At last, in a spirit of bravado, a rancher Eond that whoever would ride the without saddle or halter should be the declared owner of the calf. There was a yell of approval, but not a general stampede of volun- teers, for taurus was in an ill humor, and his foaming mouth and blood- shot eyes gave token that whoever rode hzn would have a ride as wild as Mazeppa's, and one thst would not ©1d 80 well. At last & ‘‘vaquero” named Frick socepted the challenge, and the wild bull was immediately lassoed and held by a lariat around horn and foot. Dismounting his horse, the vaquero fastened his long rowelled spurs se- curely, tied & handkerchief around his head, approached the infuriated animal, and, grasping the tail in his hands, sprang lightly on, setting the spurs deeply in his flanks as he settled securely in his seat. The lariatn were slackened; the bull gave & roar of rage and terror and flung his head to tho ground; but the rider had his back to the horns snd a firm grip“on the tail, and kept his seat. Another roar that shook the ground, a wild plunge, and the now maddened bull shot out mcross the sage plain with lightning speed, his plucky rider twisting the tail that to him was a sheot-anchor, until the bellowings were lost in the distance. ® For over » mile and a half the race continued smid the excited cheers of the vaquero's comrades. Occasionally the bull gave a desperate plunge through a heavy elump of sage in the vain attempt to rid himself of his tor- mentor,but the rowels only clung more firmly to his flanks. Sometimes the animal and the rider were hidden by undulations in the ground, and bets rick would be thrown and gored; but at last the bull, Bl:hl\llu"hd from sheer l:;hi,. fell, I:id the pl vaquero, stepping off, fatmxlu?o olaim his pnu,h'fhlu was unanimously awarded.

She's been away these ten years, has Lizzie, and they dosay asshe's livin’ in grandeur in some for- rin place, and she’s had her head turned with all, for she never lets her poor old mother hear from her, and the people she is with coaxed her off unbeknowns to be, and I don’t mind telling you as it was a great shock to me, and I ain't the same woman since Lizzie went out one night, and when she kissed me, said: ‘“‘Leave a light in the winddw, dear mother, till I come back,” and that was tem years ago, and I've never seen her since, but I've burned a light in the window every night till these ten ears, and shall till she comes home. o8, it's hard to be a mother and be disappointed so. I allowed she was dead, till folks, as had seen her well and splendid, told me different, and I was sick a long time—that's what made my hairso white—but 1 hope she never heard of it, 'twould have made her as miserable as I was, and her fine things wouldn’t have been much comfort to her! Folks blame her terribly, but I'm her mother, and it seems as if I could mee her; so pretty, with’ her long brown curls, and the smile shé had, and her gentle ways, and I loving her better than the heaven above me! This is my punishment—to sit alone all day, and never to sleep at night, but I hear her ecrying: ‘“Mother mother! where are yout” and if Igo onoe, I go » dozen times to the door, and look up and down the lonesome road, and call: “L.i-z-z-1-e! L-i-z-z-i-e!” and there's never any wer but the night wind moaning in the trees! Well, I didn't mean to make you feel bad; don’t cry, poor soul! ~You've had enough trouble of your own, I guess; by your look! Your hands are like ice—and your temple and your face is white—and why, what is this? You are not old, and gour hair hangs in brown curls—and, your eyes— merciful God!—it's Liszie come to her mother—it's my child that was lost and is found—put out the light— put out the light, for the night is over and it's the clear, broad day at last!
