Several cases have recently keen tried in the Uoited States court at Indianapolis involving the payment of notes by persons who signed them thinking they were signing contracts to act as agents. In each case the court decided that the notes conld not be collected. Mifflin Kennedy, a stock raiser, built a board fence thirty-one miles long across the neck of a peninsula projecting into the Gulf of Mexico, and had 30,000 head of cuttle and thousands of horses and sheep in the 240,000-acre inclosureA man in Whitehall, Georgia, be'ieves that at the height of a hundred and fifty feet the air is purer, and has obtained permission of a church to run a pipe to the top of the steeple so as to supply himself with fresh air.

The White House is an expensive institution aside from the President's salary of 50,000. The staff of employes in and about the executive office requires $32,000 a year, and tbe stationery and miscellaneous appointments $8,000 more. This is exclusive of $10,000 a year for care and repairs of the mansion, to $J 5,000 for lighting the house and grounds, $2,000 for feel, $5,300 for the green houses, ami a single item of $30,000 for refsraisbiag. m m The o1y survivor of the Fort Pillow TOassacre has bought a farm near Alma, Kansas, and intends to settle his sons there. His name is John E. Allen, and he bears a saber wowkI upon his skull, yet unhealed. It was made by rebel Col. Dick Taylor, who was his master. He was left upon the field for dead, but revived aod crawled oat of the way asd kid himself, where he was iound by the Union troops whe came p next day. He says tbe prisoners were drawn up in line trfter the surrender and murdered witlKHit ceremony, amid yells and voaths from tbe infuriated rebels, declaring that they would " learn niggers how to fight against their masters." J?bn Sherman. The Legislature of Ohio has done itself honor by electing John Sherman Senator almost without opposition. A careful comparison of records will show that no other man now living has done so much .for his country as he. No other

pnblic man can show a record at once so long, so strong and so free from wrong, as his. He was a prominent man in the Republican party when it was organized in 185$: was a trusted leader of the party in its struggles with slavery in Kansas, the first four years of its history; was one of Lincoln's confidential advisers on all matters pertaining to tbe freedom of the slaves: was Chase's counsellor in the management of finances: was Stanton's right hand man during the war, being Chairman of the Committee on the conduct of the war, and as soon as the war was. over, as Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means he helped to mould all the legislation of the country io providing ways and means for the payment of the public debt. It is tbe masterly manner in which he brought about the resumption of specie payments that has given him his world wide fame, and which made him many friends anl many enemies, but his fame will not rest on that alone. There has been no important legislation i:i the country for twenty years, in its struggle with slavery, in its struggle with rebellion, in its struggle with repudiation and financial depression, which has not felt I he impress of John Sherman's great mind, and through all that public service, while he has handled all the public debt, dealing with bank associations, syndicates and the U. S. Treasury, he has never been suspected of corruption. Such men deserve the highest honor of their native States and of their whole country. w. p. m.

Several tons of fair hair are annually exported from France to England and Germany. Tbe most luxuriant heads of hair in France are to be found among the peasant women of Normandy. Britany yields plentiful crops, but of coarse quality and lacking in lustre. Limoges and its neighborhood are productive of exceptionally long and glossy black hair. Throughout the north of France dull hues characterize the growths, a fact which the dealers attribute to the influence of tbe sea air upon the human hair, which, in inland mountainous districts is generally found to be dark and bright in color, and to grow with great rapidity to abnormal length and weight. The French hair dealer's customer is America, whither is annually exported as much of the commodity in question as is sent to Great Britsi u and Germany together. Terre Haute Express; "Col.

A LAND OF SUNSHINE AND PLOW K US.

Sinta Ana, Los Agcles co., Cal. Ed. Progress: In accordance with requtat for a letter from this place, I will as briefly as possible comply. The climate, though not Absolutely perfect, is truly delightful, and so fur superior to that of Eastern States, that 1 have never heard onc,no matter how disntUficd, say he preferred Eastern elimute to this. The most delicate children can piny out doors 350 days of the year. They grow up in consequence, very healthy. I have kept a daily record of the weather for the past two years. During the year 1873 we had 333 pleasant, sunny days, and during that time the breeze came at the rate of but six miles per hour; tho other 13 days were rainy or cloudy. Tho average range of thcremometer during January was 55 deg. above zero; three mornings only at 3'2 deg. when ice was perceptible. The range (or the winter was 56 above zero. The average range for the year was 68. During the past year 1880 there were 323 sunny days; during this time the breeze was from the southwest. Kainfall during the winter of was 14.44 inches. We can boast of a climate temperate in character, equablo and moderately stimulating, which will build up and strengthen tho weak and enfeebled organization; a climate which would help (tho invalid and not depress him. This is the 'kind of a climate Southern California offers to the immigrant a climate without extremos of heat or cold, and where sunstroke is unknown. The gentle sea breeze tempers the heat of the summer days, and tho land breeze from tho Sierra Madre cools tho air

at night. During the warmest part of

summer the sleepor requires ft blanket at night. Wc offer to the immigrant a fertile soil with abundance of water, capable of alm?st unlimited production, with moderate capital and a reasonable amount of industry, he can, in three or four years, surround himself with everything which bo may desire, to make life pleasant and enjoyable. All things are possible on these lands to the roan tnat has water. The resources of this valley, in which Santa Ana is situated, are many and varied, fruits of all kinds and of delicious quality, grow in great profusion. Oranges, lemons, times, bananas, grapes, pears, apricots, poaches, prunes, apples, cherries, plums, figs, and almost everything grown elsewhere in the United States ; besides we have no frost to injure them in the least. Wheat, barley, oats, rye. corn, etc., can be produced in abundance. Vegetables of every description, as well as the fruits, seem to find here a congenial home. I am safe in saying that ten acres of land in this valley, if irrigated, will produce more than forty acres as usually cultivated in Indiana. Alfalfa (a species of clover) which in three months will yield the first cutting, if properly irrigated, will give a crop of hay each month. Fifty acres will keep sixty cows, and a team. I would say that there is no locality in tbe United States where milk can be produced more abundantly or as cheap as hero. Twenty tons of squashes, and the same of be;ts, are easily grown to tho acre, for cow feed. We are in railroad connection with all parts of the country, and have sea ports within a few miles, accessible by good roads. In one month from this date we will have a Southern overland railroad below the snow line, which will be available for the shipment of fruits eastward during tho winter. Tbe completion of- this road and its connections will soon develop and popularize our extensive and immensely rich mining country to the east and southeast of us, in Southern Nevada, Utah, and in Arizona and Mexico. In the short time of three or four years, fruit trees will furnish a constant succession of fruit the year round ; nearly all the tropical fruits, besides all the northern fruits, including strawberries (all the time) ; most kind of vegetables

are always in season. With water!

for irrigation, it is a perpetual Spring, Summer and Autumn; flowers bloom continually all the year; a large number of our shrubs and ornamental trees are evergreens. Snow never falls in our valley, and frosts are extremely rare. It is quite customary for residents here to shut up their houses, and having loaded a wagon with the requirements of camp life, betake themselves to the hills or the sea beach and for two or four weeks live in the open air, a tent or brush house, constructed on the spot, furnishing all the shelter they require. In reply, I will show that families can and do live comfortably on the roducts of five acres of irrigated and ; which can be purchased and stocked at small expense. I will note tbe estimate to suit people of small means, to 6bow what the poorest can do here, estimate for a farm of five acres: cost of land

$250, cost of house $200, cost of

barn and stable $100, cost of horses and harness $100, cost of wagon $125, cost of well and pump $25, cost of plow and harrow $30, cost of 3 cows $150, cost of 100 hens $50, cost of 6 pigs 12. Total $1,0i2.50. I have estimated at highest prices, except the land irrigated. Land cheap at $50 per acre cash, one of which is equivalent to ten acres not irrigated ; but by care and economy in purchasing two or three hundred dollars can be saved on the above estimate; seed one and a half or two acres with alfalfa. The product of this will support the horses, cows and pigs, and also furnish green picking for the fowls. The remaining three acres should be planted with selected varieties of fruit trees so as to bring a constant succession of fruits (trees begin to bear the second year from the bud). The space between the trees being utilized by being planted with potatoes and other root crops, sunflowers and Egyptian corn, for poultry, and strawberries and other small fruit for family and for sale. The butter and the eggs are supporting numerous families in this country. To those desiring to engage in other enterprises, I would say that we are greatly in want of more capital to supply the growing demand. A bank, cheese factories, canning factories, combined with facilities for curing raisins, grape sugar factory, or glucose factory, oil mill. Also to work up flax fiber, a foundry and machine shop, and very many other enterprises.

Letter from Alabama, Birmingham Ala , Jan. 1st. Ed. Progress; The history of this fast growing town is an illustration of what railroads do for a country. The present site of Birmingham was a vast cotton field when the Alabama Great Southern Railroad was built, ten years ago. Mr. John Snow, one of its oldest citizens, cultivated cottoa ou the town site as late as 1870. As soon as the above mentioned railroad was put in operation the nitural advantages of the site, with its inexhaustible coal and iron beds, became apparent, and a few cuterprisiog and wealthy men associated themselves together as " The Elyton Land Company' purchased 5,000 acres of land, and proceeded at once to lay out the present site of this now flourishing city. -With commendable foresight a strip of land 500 feet wide one each side of the railroad track for a distance of a mile and a half was reserved exclusively for railroad and manufacturing purposes. The company at once offered, and still offers, sites on this location free to manufacturing establishment, of any kind, giving from one to five or six acres gratis, according to the size and requirements of the manufacturer. This it will be seen enables the manufacturer to have his material carried directly to his door by the railroads. The immediate vicinity of Birmingham, it is said, furnishes all the material for the manufacture of iron at a much leis cost than any other locality iu the South As a natural consequence, iron men were not slow to choose the location. Messrs. Hillmann & Co., of Nashville, availed themselves of the above mentioned offer of free lands, and were given some six acres, upon which they have just completed and put in operation " The Alice Furnace," at a cost of some $200,000. The Pratt Coal aud Coke Company, located at Coketon, six miles out of Birmingham, delivers coal into the yards of the Alice Furnace Company at $1.50 per ton, from which Hillmann & Co. make their own coke. The ore and stone cars are run into the yards on side tracks, giving quick transit to all parts. The Birmingham rolling mill, erected at a cost of over $150,000, is running full blast. They are preparing to turn out steel rails, and expect to be employing over a thousahd men in another year. The completion of the L. & N. II. R., and the location of its shops here, also added an impetus to the growth of the place. Town lots in the business and residence portion of the town were quickly taken up at the liberal prices offered by the land company, and with the exception of a slight backset, caused by the panic of 1873, the progress has been rapid, until at present the population is about 6,000. The large number of stores would seem to indicate a thriving business. Rents are remarkably high and it is almost impossible to obtain a store or residence at any figure. Most of the stores rent at figures which pay from 25 to 40 per cent, on the cost. Lots for business purposes,

twenty-five feet by 140, sell at $1,000; for residences, fifty bv 140,

at $300. There is a good deal of

building going ou. It is said the sawmills can not furnish lumber as fast as needed. There is one national bank with a capital of $50,000 and one private bank with a capital of S0,000. Besides the rolling mill and furnace and railroad shops, there are three machine shops (one of which is now completing a new engine for tbe City Water Works) employing about 150 men. The rest of the manufacturing is confined to several small furniture manufactories.

St. Nicholas for January opens with two Child-Songs by Alfred Tennyson, the poet laureate of England. One of these is reprinted near the end of the number with its music, which also was sent by Mr. Tennyson. The frontispiece, a full-page picture on fine cray paper, represents the "Princess in the Tower' and was engraved on wood by G. Kruel after a mezzotint engraving by Samuel Cousins of the painting by J. E. Millais. Several comic pictures by Prank Beard, Xu Hopkins, J. G. Francis and others appear in the number. Tho " Letter Box' in addition to funny bits and letters from the boys and girls, contains an item telling the story of the frontispiece, accompanied by an engraving after a painting by Dobaroche; and " Jack-in-the-pulptt " and tbe " RiddlerBox" are full of novelty and niterest. - m A writer for the Cincinnati JSnquirer has been looking critically at New York women, and the following is one of the conclusions: " As a rule, the higher you go up in the social scale of New York the less beauty yon find. I could name top-lofty families whose women are generally ugly to the extent of positive hideousness. There is a theory that the product of several generations of high culture is a palpably superior article of woman, with small hands and feet, arched insteps, sensitive nostrils, and other points supposed to indicate physical and mental refinement. Observation proves that the truth is no such thing. The shop girls of the Bowery are prettier, as a class, than the idle girls of Fifth Avenue. This reads like heresy, no doubt, but it is nevertheless a plain statement of a fact. Criticise the two sorts without allowing the judgment to be prejudiced by the matter of dress, and tbe prize medal must be awarded to the Bowery, notwithstanding its sins of clothing and manners." m m Delegations of Sioux and Ponca chiefs, with such romantic titles as Dog Bark, White Ghost and Don't Know How, aro making Christmas Calls in Washington,
