A WASHINGTON dispatch states that the investigation which led to the exposure of the alleged land swindle in Missouri and the arrest of Robert L. Lindsay at St. Louis, and of other alleged land swindlers in Cleveland and Pittsburgh, was instigated by a letter received ny Secretory Schurz more than a year ago. This letter stated that Lindsay, whose father had once been in charge of the land ofllce at Ironton, Mo., had in his possession one or two boxes filled with United States land pa­ tents, which were certainly genuine, although Lindt-ay might have obtained them by question­ able means. The writer of the letter alleged that Lmdf-ay kept these boxes concealed, and had queer "dealings with queer people. The writer, who protissed to be a friend of Sec- ri'tary Sehurz, snRgested, in conclusion, it might be well to look into the matter. The Secretary secured Special Agent D. P. Terrell, of the Treasury Department, to investigate the matter. The result was the arrwt of Lind­ say and several other persons. It is IK lieved at the Land Oflice the rm< havo obtained fraud­ ulent land titles to more than 1.000,(KH) acres of (he public lands, most of which they have sold to innocent eetttars, who therefore have no valkl title to the land they occupy.

He wishes, how­ ever, to save from illegitimacy the children born of polygamous marriage. This much he fetk« bound" to do, becsnre two of his prede­ cessors, Fillmore and Buchanan, had recog­ nized the institution by appointing Brighani Young Governor of Utah Territory. As A preliminary step in the war against polygamy, a bill will be introduced in the next Congress to change the form of gov­ ernment in Utah. It is proposed to place the administration of affairs in the hands of seven Commissioners, to be appointed by the Presi­ dent, and continue in othce during his pleasure. It is thought the ev.l can be rencht d in this way more readily than under the t xif-ting form. The law disfranchising polvg&mists, male and female, will also be passed. t R D.

THE Directors of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, at a recent meeting, de­ cided to distribute the residue of the common stock, amounting to nearly 180,000 shares, which has been held in the company's treasury since the reorganization m 1876. This issue completes the total amount of common stock authorized by the plan of re­ organization and by the act of incorporation, $49,000,000. Tho reason for the distribution of tne stock is said by the offioers of the com­ pany to be the anxiety of the persons entitled to receive it to realize their profits at the pres­ ent market value of the stock. The ehiof opponent of the issue has been the President of the company, Frederick Billings, who was un­ willing that the stock should be issued any fasier than the road was completed aooep^ sd by the Government.

Mezentzoff, Chu-f of the Third Section, was stabbed by his assassin. It is now inolosed and covered with turf. A memorial church will be erected upon the spot. THE funeral of the Czar is described by the correspondents as a most magnificent pageant. Three cannon shots were the signal for the mourneis to fall into Kne, and tliree ethers were the signal for the procession to move. Tho funeral-ear was a bier of ebony and silver, on wheels, with heavily -carved sil­ ver spokes and a superstructure of black and silver. The whole was canopied by superb material encircling the columns of the bier. The ooffin of the illustrious dead was almost' tiidden by a golden pall, lined with white, satin, and the vast car itself was drawn by eight black horses, completely shronded in sable draperies.

Some cf tho bodies found are so horribly charred that recog nition is impomjle. The body of cne of the singer* has been recognised.. Tho cause ol the fire was a leak in the gas- pipes behind the scenes. The leak WHS caused suddenly, in some way unknown, and allowed great volumes of gas to escape. This ignited before the leak was dwoovered from thj roar stage lights, and the explosion which followed at once set all the sceuery and inflammable material on the stage on fire, and before the audience recovered from their first hor­ ror the entire building was in flume*. To add to tue calamity, some one turned tho gas off in the efforts to stop the flr«\ and then a terrible panic onsued.

Some people think it one of the hard­ est strains on hnmnn nature to be obliged to wait at a country depot for the train. A philosopher takes real pleasure in hanging aronnd a depot for three honn. During the first fifteen minutes he reads all the railroad cards hangiug in the waiting-roora. If he is near-sighted or a poor reader he can put in half an hour at this. Every depot in this broad land has a front door. The scenery from a depot front door is always grand. There is the track each way ; there is the water-tank ; there is of ten a small grocery on the corner op­ posite, with two small boys licking their lips before the jar of candy in the win­ dow. It is often the case that a depot is surrounded by houses. Here is a great chance to speculate. If there are, say, twelve houses in sight, the philosopher can wonder how many are under mort­ gage, what percentage of husbands have missed the top-stair in going down oel- lar; how mauy mothers-in-law make home happy, ANA so op, for ALL hour and a half. There is always ft dog, A small boy, and a lame man around a depot. A phi­ losopher will make advances to the dog and manage to tie his hind legs together and start him off with a yell He will win the small boy's conndenee with a smile, and give him a cont to stand on his head. He will get up a reunion with the old man and draw him out. The old man got hurt by tumbling into a ditch when he was drunk, but a sharp man oan start the conversation so that he will claim to have received the hurt while climbing Lookout mountain a rod ahead of Joe Hooker. Two hours and a half thus slip by on the wings of lightning. While the fus *j fat man with the carpet-sack has gone to sleep in despair, the philosopher has been having a bully time. The other half hour is a mere nothing. The phi­ losopher puts that in by asking the tele­ graph operator how long it took him to learn ; by taking five or six drinks from the water-cooler; by walking up and down the platform, and counting the birds on the telegraph-wires; or by valking two or three miles down the track to meet the.train and ask the con­ ductor if his faiffl® are as well aa usual. There is no eanhly reason why any waiting passenger shouldn't take solid comfort around a depot,-- Wall Street Daily News. EVILS OP Hoof BBBAD.--There is no law ia this country to prevent the con­ sumption of hot bread than that of com­ mon sense, and unfortunately that is a dead letter as a governing principle in the lives of a great many people. That hot bread, in nine cases out of ten, will produce dyspepsia, is no newly-discov- ered fact, and this terrible result is sure to follow the persistent indulgence on the part of those whose pursuits are quiet, iudom and sedentary. And yet those who call themselves reformers-- the men and women who have given the matter some thought--will continue to eat hot bread, as the sot continues to chink. GRASSHOPPERS. Effort* Toward Their Extermination. Tho United States Entomological Commission, under the supervision of Prof. Riley, has com­ pleted its second report, relating to the Rocky mountain locust aud Western oriekei. This re­ port is mainly supplemental to the very valua­ ble one printed last year. It treats of the beet means ' ef subduing the locust in " its permanent breeding-ground, with a view ef preventing its migrating to the more fertile portions of the trans-Missis­ sippi. Tho report makes a volume of nearly 400 pagos. Prof. Riley conies to the following conclusions: " A large proportion of the monov losses re­ sulting from the locust invasiona of 1867, 1809, 1874 ami 1876 was the result of a panic of un­ certainty as to the future. This resulted in diafaeartenment, in tho abandonment of large tract* of tho best farming lands to nature and the loctwt*. This will probably never again happen in the West. The knowledge already disseminated, the extent of the population now pouring into the Nbrthweet, the rapid seitement of the Territory of Montana, and the completion of the Northern Pacific, Canadian Pacific, the Utah and Northern railroads, and the conse­ quent change iu the surface of the country due to human agency, will so essentially modify the looust situation that we believe the West will never again suffer as in the past. It remains for the people of the Rocky mountain plateau to use such local and general moans as their own experience and this commission have suggested in the flAt and present re­ ports for the State and Territorial and county Governments to make, and execute laws for combined and persistent action during times of general local invasion, sod for the preven­ tion of others. If this be done in the jtlatenu region in the future, the invasions of the West­ ern border Mississippi Htates will tend to be­ come more and more feeble, inconsiderable and harmless, until, we venture to predict, the time will oome when tlie losses from locusts will be only local and comparable with those inflicted by locusts and grasshoppers in the Eastern Atlantic Htates. At any rate, the Western locu-it has already oeased to be a bugbear and object of druad. Familiarity with its habits and history has already taught the pio­ neer farmers of Utah, Montana and Colorado that with energy its ravages can bo lessoned if not entirely overcome,,«aml no one intending to migrate West from the Atlantic States or from Europe need te be detemed by the fear of mich alarming invasions as have occurred in former years." One of the preventive measures suggested in the mountain and plateau areas is a permanent system of observations and warnings under the •ontrui mt the Signal Bureau. WHITES, NEUROES AND CHINESE. According to the tables of the Census De­ partment, the white population of the United State* has increased, sinoe 1870, from 33,592,245 to 43,402,403, or nearly 29 per cent.; the col­ ored population from 4,886,387 to 6,577,49T, or nearly 85 per oent., and the Chinese popula­ tion from 63,254 to 105,679, or about 67 per sent.

I knew that he was a Norwegian, slow but solid, hardly able to spaak a word of Euglish, and I never cared whether h<5 had a rel­ ative on earth. Perhaps it looks a bit hard-hearted in me, but I am driven from morning till night, and I must drive the men under me.

"Yes, though I think he will pull through. Any man might havo blundered as he did, but Biuce I have learned how it was with him I've felt womanish in my heart." "How was it?" "Wfell, he had just got his hod filled with bricks down there when two or throe of his countrymen came along and told him that hia baby boy was dead. Tlney had just come from his house on Russell street to briug him the news. He came up on the scaffold with his hod, probably intending to notify me of his affliction. His eyes must have been full of tears, and as he stepped out he missed his distance and went to tho ground. There were tears on his cheeks when we picked him up, aud the only word he ut­ tered was to speak his dead boy's name. I had looked upon him only as an old Norwegian, but I fouTKl that he was a husband and father, a man with love and faith, a father who went homo at night to coo with his baby and kiss tho wife who had left all behind to follow him over the sea, and I tell you I feci like asking his forgiveness and doing all I can to soften the grief which has come upon his humble home."--Exchange. The Steel Horse. 1 Persons who ride or drive above Fifty- ninth street cannot fail to note that within a year there has been a sadden and marked increase in the number of bicycles on the road, and residents on any well-paved road in the same part of the city can testify that "J^he steel horse," aa the bicycle has coine to be called in England, is often on the road as early iu the morning as horses less tough of fiber. The popularity which bicycling has suddenly reached in New York is as gratifying to many who never bestrode the ever-saddled courser as to the moat earnest devotees of the new sport, for anything that will offer the young men of our city a new inducement to spend part of their timo at vigorous exercise out of doors is of general benefit to the community. The steel horse lias its limitations; not by these, but by its possibilities, it should be judged. It is shefiely, swiit and safe. It never throws its rider, although the rider sometimes throws the horse. It never stumbles, balks, bucks or kicks; never takes the bit in its teeth and attempts to run away; it has not the vice, so dear to all other horses, of casting a shoe at exactly the wrong time, and it can make its b«st time and distance without being blown or running the risk of foundering. It can bo turned loose anywhere immedi­ ately afte r use. No special stalls nor any disagreeable and expensive retinue of stable-boys are necessary to its safe­ keeping, and the owner is never likely to be greeted in the morning with the information that his courser has died during the night. Such an array of special merits should be enough to com­ mend anything to the favorable notice of spirited young men. Even men who are not young could make their days cheerier and gain a promise of additional days in which to be cheery, by making frequent use of the steel horse.--New York Herald. THE D*AT> CITIES. PoMpdl awl Kcrrnlnaonni ltawrlM la »•» laiermiiBK llaaiirr. I Letter In the Baltimore Amtrlcan.) In the year of our Lord 79 Vesuvius had an uncommon eruption, which sud­ denly and very completelv buried out of sight the cities of Pompeii and Hercu- laneum; and they remained so buried for sixteen hundred years--until early in the last century, when their sites were acci­ dentally discovered. Aftermuch patient labor and at an enormous expense, about one-third part pf these dead and buried cities has beeu dug up; and the excava­ tions are still going on. Vast treasures of gold and silver, rare statuary, paint­ ings, and household utensils were recov- veVed in good condition, and many of these arc now preserved, as I have said, in the National Museum at Naples. The paved streets have been cleared of rub­ bish, and compare favorably with those of tlie cities of to-day. The houses are open to inspection, and one can easily gather from them a good idea of the manner of life among the people who were buried into eternity with such frightful celerity eighteen hundred years ago. There is a large museum just within the main gate of Pompeii, in which are stored vast numbers of articles reoovered from the uncovered houses. These are bottles, vases, plates, cups, lamps, money-boxes, jars, door-locks, bolts, bells, eggs, nuts, pieces of bread, dried fruit, glasses, towels, candlesticks, ladles, scales, needles, baskets, funnels, etc. But, among all these familiar things, I "was most impressed with an iron safe--an ao- tual iren safe--identical in pattern with those knobbed articles that only a few years ago were considered the best safes in the world for banking-houses and counting-rooms. And yet dozens of per­ sons have within fifty years taken out patents for newly-invented safes. I saw also a lot of fish-hooks of the identical pattern now so eagerly prized by anglers--the veritable Limerick hook. Is the world progressing? And then there are prostrate figures of men and women--one of the latter evidently on the point of becoming a mother--skele­ tons of horses, cats, dogs, and rats. And there are many skulls--one of them still retaining some of its hair. All these dreadful trophies snatched from the jaws of death serve to illustrate the terrors of the dreadful night when fire and brim­ stone rained upon the devoted cities and wrapped them in the darkness of death and desolation. If I may judge from paintings and sculptures on the walls of many rooms, and from translations of numerous in­ scriptions on door-posts, tho people of Pompeii were not strictly virtuous in every respeot, for there is everywhere evidence that they had reached a re­ markably high or low degree of licen­ tiousness, os well as of luxury. Almost every house had its fountain, its hot and cold bath, its spacious yard or garden, its statuary and pictures, and excellent culinary arrangements. But now it is a silent city. Its houses are tenantless, and its streets are trodden only by the feet of curious tourists. All is desola­ tion--still beautiful and wondrously at­ tractive, but dead, very dead. Despite its paintings and its statues, and its glo­ rious sunshine, it was to mo but a pathetic suggestion of woe and despair. I would not care to live in a dead city, and if I did, I could find one nearer home. . Stanton's War Coadnct. "I was talking to General McMahon, who was for some time the principal staff offioer of General Dix, about Secretary Stanton's treatment of Alexander Steph­ ens and Postmaster General Reagan, both now in Congress," writes Gath to the Cincinnati Enquirer: "Stauton was not very friendly to General Dix, look­ ing nixm him as a possible Presidential candidate, and he issued orders directly to him, saying: 'You will proceed imme­ diately to Fort Warren, in Boston Har­ bor, and receive from the naval vessels the two traitor rebels, Stephens and Rea­ gan, and will see that they are confined separately, and not allowed to oommuni- cate with each other, nor to have writing materials.' "General Dix felt much mortified, but he had no discretiou in the matter. He went to the fort and sent McMahon on a tug to tlie steam-sloop Tuscarora, com­ manded by Major Fraley, of Maryland. Tli at officer had taken care of Stephens and Reagan in his private cabin. They had been together throughout the voyage, and it was, therefore, absurd to separate them. General McMahon said: 'Gen­ tlemen, I have the misfortune to be your policeman. I am sorry to say that I will havo to take you off separately, as my instructions are not to allow you to communicate with each other.' 'Well,' said Commander Fraley, 'we can take a drink, anyway.' So they took a final glass of wine, and Stephens was carried off first. •» "As he entered the casemate where he was to be confined, there was nothing there but a miserable bed and one chair. He looked upon the hospitality pretty seriously, and said: Dtlajor, can I not have a table and pen and ink?' 'I am sorry, Mr. Stephens, but they have been forbidden.' 'Can I have nothing to read, not even newspapers ?' 'They also are forbidden you.' Mr. Stephens Bank into the chair, and gave a slight sigh. "Reagan was then brought off in a tug and put ill a similar casement, with no more accommodation^, but he made no complaint Stephens asked if he could not see General Dix. 'I will con­ vey your request to him,' said McMahon, aud he did; but the General replied: 'Major, I don't think I can go to see Mr. Stephens. My orders are so disagreea­ ble that I can do nothing for him. I would only have to say no, and that I should hato to do.'^' CARTJYLE once asked an Edinburgh stu­ dent what he was studying for. The youth replied that he had not quite made up his mind. There was a sudden light­ ning flash of the old Scotchman's eye, a sudden pulling down of the shaggy eye­ brows, and the stern face grew sterner as ho said: '*The man without a purpose is like the ship without a rudder; a waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life, if it is only to kill and divide and sell oxen well, but have a purpose; and' having it, throw such strength of mind and musle into your work as God has given you." HYPNOTISM. •igUr IntermMtajf •wnto. Dr. William S. Hammond, the bra,ted New York surgeon, not long ago delivered a lecture on " Hypnotism" be­ fore several hundred medical students ia that city. Tlie lecturer brought forwaad Mr. Howley and sat him in a chair front­ ing the audience. He then held beforo* the gentleman's eyes a small glres ball, and after a little delay the subject- seemed to be completely absorbed in the contemplation of it. Turning again to the students. Dr. Hammond saidr " You see I begin in the way Berpenta. charm birds. The serpents fasten their steely eyes on those of the birds and fascinate the poor things until they fall an easy prey. Now you will see iu a. minute how this young man will follow the ball wherevei it goes." And so h®. did. Whichever way Dr. Hatnmond. moved the ball the young man went' after it. * Nothing stopped him. Chairs,, tables, doctors, stood in his way,' but he* stumbled over them or by them, and. kept on after the ball with his eyes riv­ eted on it as if his very life depended on his getting as near it ae possible* Sud­ denly Dr. Hammond hid it and told him it was gone. He stopped, dazed, and looked as if he had lost something very precious. While he was in this state he was handed a bottle of soda water and told it was a young lady. He took tha bottle in his arms and immediately be­ gan to make love to it. He caressed it and said tenderly, "Will you have me?" Do. I love you dearly. Oh, do haV«- me." As he walked up and down Dr. Hammond took a lance and stuck the blado into the flesh of the young man's., hand, telling him it was a bouquet^ and the young man admired the imaginary dowers, showing no symptoms of pain. Suddenly h© was told that the bottle was. ar. old woman, 75 years of age, aud he quickly dropped it, exclaiming, "1 don't want to have anything to do with her." He ate lemon for strawberry, and asked for more; stripped off his coat and made a dash for a man he was told had called him a liar; waltzed, sang, cried, smelt water and said it was •• beautilul co­ logne," and proved himself »ai utterly pliant subject. The next subject was Mr. David Wright, who accepted a book for a birds and sang the "Sweet By and By " to it. When told it had escaped through the hall he made a rush for it among the students as if they had not been present. He made frantic efforts to climb a pillar and was furiously pursuing the bird wken called back. He preached as an orthodox clergyman, then as a colored minister, changing his accent and his maniier as quickly as the order was given to him, and did a number of other things, much to the amusement and as­ tonishment of the audience. The next subject, a Mr. Wilson, acted Macbeth, reading the vision scene with good effect; preached, teld funny stories, said he was Col. Bob Ingereoll, repeating parts of that gentleman's lectures; got drunk on water, rolled in agony when told he was sick at the stomach, and created much merriment as a clown in a circus. Mr. Pritchitt, the last gentle­ man, stripped off all his clothes with lightning rapidity when told he was in­ fested with rats. He delivered a lecture on electricity when told he was Benja­ min Franklin. He stripped to light at. an imaginary insult, rode a chair for a- horse with the same seriousness aud in­ tensity he would a live equine. He became an organ grinder, a ballet danc­ er, a violinist and numerous other characters. Dr. Hammond touched his- nose with a cork and he roared with pain. The next instant he danced with delight at being assured that it was on. again and in good condition. Dr. Ham­ mond told him that his clothes were on lire, and he pulled them off, rushing almost nude to the opposite side of the amphitheater. Dr. Hammond frequently put his fingers on the left temple of the diilVrent subjects and instantly arrested tlitir power of speech; then he would touch the right temple and the subject resumed his discourse. Heavenly Bliss. "Angels, my dear children," said * Galveston Sunday-school teacher, medi­ tatively, "ore disembodied spirits." " Does that mean they don't have any bodies? " asked Johnny. "Angels have no bodies," replied the teacher, emphatically. "And will pa and ma be there, too? ̂ "Certainly." "Then they won't h%ve ne use for me there if I haven't got a body for them to- spank," and he took to munching an. apple be had picked up on a fruit stand when the proprietor was looking tht- •ther way.--Galveston Newt.
