The section begins in Dakota territory, 150 miles west o Bismarck, and ends in Montana. As the company receives 25,000 acres per mile in the territories, this section will entitle them to 2,500,030 acres. The flouring mills of Minneapolis, owing to the high price of wheat, which prevents the manufacture of flour at a living profit, have shut down, thus withdrawing from the market from 75,000 to 80,000 barrels of flour weekly, the amount usually shipped from that point. .

One of the strongest points recently made in tbe Guiteau ease, is suggested by the South Bend Tribune, as follows: "The court In giving Gnitean the privil ege of speaking in his own defense most take the ground that he is not insane. It would be a travesty on law and justice for a judge to permit a crazy man to address the court and jury. This is a point the jury want to bear iu mind when making up their verdict.” Thu six healthiest cities in the United States are said to be in tbe order following: Knoxville, New Haven, Portland, San Francisco, Cleveland and Lawrence.’ The unhealthi***' *«*• Charleston, Memphis, Lynn,Non York and St. Louis.

The postoffice department has decided that matter produoed by hand stamp, type-writers and copy presses, are all prima facie subject to first-class Tates of postage, but that this presumption may be removed by an examination of the matter produced by the process of adoption; the question to be determined in each case being whether or not the matter is intended for use only between tbe parties n subjects personal to themselves.

Professor Bruniylti, of the statistical archives of Rome, estimates that there are altogether in the world 6.568,000 Jews, of which number 5,500,000 are iu Europe, 240,000 iu Asia, 500,000 In Africa, 308,000 iu America, aud 20,000 Australia. Taking the European countries, by far the largest number of Jews in proportion to the population are in Romania, where the average is 7,44 per 100 inhabitants. Russia comes next with 3.57 per 100 inhabitants, while Germany has 1.22, Great Britain 0.20, and Portugal only 0.04. John Jasper (not the preacher of that name,) and James Casey, colored men, nad a dispute about politics, the other day, in Virginia, and their friends just for fun arranged a mock duel -to settle the difficulty.

ADTSpATcrt has been received at New York from the Governor of Michigan, stating that the sufferers in Michigan will probably require about $500,000 more to provide for their necessities until next harvest, when they will again become self-supporting.

ACCokDino to a statement submitted to the Secretary of the Interior by General Francis A. Walker, late Superintendent of the Census Bureau, the following changes in Congressional representation, with the number of Representatives still fixed at 293, will occur in the Forty-eighth Congress: Arkansas, California, Michigan Mississippi, South Carolina and West Virginia would gain two each; Alabama, Illinois, Maine, Maryland,New Hampshire, Ohio, Tennessee and Vermont would lose one each; Pennsylvania two, and New York three. The other States show no change.

A Washington special ruys: “It is more than probable that the action of the court to-day flually and forever disposes of the star route prosecutions. In every case, witli but one possible exception—that of Dorsey—the statute of limitation intervenes and bars any criminal proceeding. The counsel for the government maintain, however, that the battle which has been go s ng on in the courts for the matter of a week is but a mere preliminary skirmish, and that behind it they have sufficient evidence to make a case by, regular proceeding before the grand Jury for presentment and indictment. Still, however, the current of opinion is that the last has been heard of the star route business.” The pension rolls for deeember foot up $7,900,000. The rapid swelling of the pension list sixteen years after the close of the war that brought it into extotanoe,to attracting much attention, and will probably be the subject of a thorough investigation by Congress. The payment of pensions to-worthy recipients is not complained of by anybody, but there is a general suspicion that a very large portion ol the enormous sums used for that purpose is wasted upon recipients who do not deserve and are not entitled to the aid

or bounty of the government. If tbe people in every locality would give attention to the matter, and speak out fearlessly, a great many fraudulent pensioners would be stricken from the lists. A Washington special speaks of the jury that has been impaneled to try the assassin, Guiteau, as follows. John P. Hamlin, a tall, silver haired, thonghtfnl faced, conscientious American, a restaurant keeper. Henry J. Bright, a broad shouldered, bright faced, comfortable looking, keen fritted American, a retired merchant. Frederick W. Hrsnkenbnrg, a little, excitable, black haired, honest German, a cigar manufacturer. Charles J. Htewart, merchant. Thomas 11. J,an <\j, grocer. Michael Stephens, grocer. Hsinuel K. Hobbs, plasterer, George W. Gates, architect. Ralph Wormley, laborer. W. II Bran ner, grocer. Thomas flerallns, machinist. Joseph Pratter. The dispatch conclude*: All'the Jurors are Inteltegent, educated, thinking men. Ttaag are all Christians. Tiiers are no Masons and no office-holders or office-seekers among thorn. Moat of them are men'of family, and all are respected residents of tbe District. Taken as a whole. It Is one of the best Jorlea ever Impaneled here.

The Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce changed Its quarters, the other day, end the “bbys” made tlie leavetaking of the old rooms an occasion of uproarious hilarity. A solemn, speechmaking programme had been arranged, bat that sort of thing soon became a bore, and the spirit of mischief broke looee. Barrels of flour were used by member* throwing It on each pther, and when the prooesaioti, ted by the

music of a dozen tin horns, started for the new rooms, each man had a pocket full of flour to be used on bystanders along the line of march, dt was a jolly and queer-looking crowd of oosinesa men, covered from head to foot with Hour, and they created an* immense racket as they passed along.

THE GUITEAU SHOOTING.

Farther Particulars ’of the’Attempt to Bid|the Earth of the Aotihmiti. Washington dispatches of Saturday night and Sunday give varying acoounta ofi-the attempt to ahoct the assassin, 'Guiteau, as h#waa being conveyed from the court-room to the Jail. Officer N. J. Edelin, who has charge of Guiteau in his journey to and from the jail, makes the following statement, corroborative in the main of that of the driver: s

OFFICER EDEUN’S ACCOUNT. The officer s s they left the Court House about 2:40 Saturday afternoon, and moved at the usual pace down D street. He noticed no one near the vau until opposite*the Holmes House, D street and New Jersey avenue, where there was a man on horseback. When on First street, near Capitol street, the man rode up from behind and as the van turned intp East Capitol street, he was on its right Dropping behind he peered through the grating, and, evidently satisfying himself as to the position of the prisoner, pushed his horse quickly to the left of the van. From this point, and before the officer oould discover that he had a pistol, he tired a shot through the grafting and then toward First street. The officer fired at him as he turned, And thinks he struck him, for he fell foirward oh his horse and continued in that position, riding north-ward on First street. Without waiting to inquire ipto the condition of the prisoner the van was started in pursuit of the horseman. Edelin says he diet not hear Guiteau say a word during the ride except that he wanted to Jgo back to the police headquarters lor the gUafd. Paying no attention to him they made their way to the jail. They backed the van to tue entrance and opened the door. Guiteau was crouching in the further corner, pale and trembling. “Come on out,” said Edelin; but the fellow was too frightened to move. Presently he Walked toward the door, but shrink back again. The officers repeated their assurances that there was no one else there, and Guiteau came oflfc. ..‘‘The Lord is on my side, eure enough,” said he, “but I think He had better have some policemen take care of me after this.” Then turning to Edelin he said: “Tell them I want % double guard up here Monday morning to take me down to court.”

THE WOUND. Wheh asked if he was hurt he only Catlght hold of bis left hand, and was thus taken to his cell. There a reporter found him changing his shirt. There were ( wo holes in the left sleeve of his coat below the elbow, but neither the sleeve of the outside shirt nor of the undershirt was injured. Cutting away the sleeve, it was found that the concussion from the ball as it passed through his coat-sleeve had brought blood to the' surface of his arm just above the wrist, but there was no rupaure of the skin. Dr. McWilliams, the jail physician, directed the application of ice, and in a few minutes the injury was imperceptible. the Would be avenger. After escaping from the officers, the plan who fired at Guiteau fled into the country aud was, captured at the residence of J. B. Lord. He was taken to the Second Station. His name is William Jones; age, 26 years. He Is well kuown to the police. He is doscribed as a man of tbe most dissolute habits and was manifestly drunk at the time of making his present attempt at saining notoriety. He passed Saturday night on a mattress placed upon the floor. Officer t Cole, who made the arrest.remains with him all the time. He makes no demonstrations, and talks but little. Officer Edelin saw the man yesterday, and after looking at him intently for a few moments remarked: “That is not the man. The man who did the shooting was a much larger man, with a black mustache, while this man has a slight brown oue. lam positive he is not the min.” Later in the day Perry Carson called and after looking at Jones, positively identified him as the man who shot at Giiteau.

Performance of a Somnambulist.

Syracuse Journal. A curious psychological study is afforded by the case of u young lad of 14 years whose performances .when asleep are certainly marvelous. The lad’s name is Martin Fiobischer, and it is said of him that from his earliest boyhood he has been the subject of somnambulism. He has a decided talent for drawing, in which art he has lately become deeply interested. This exercise has taken such a hold upon the boy’s mind that he rises in the night in a completely unconscious state, and will continue to work on an unfinished piece of lirawing with as much skill and dexterity as though he were awake. The other night he got up and drew a head from a cast which he had drawn on paper during the previous day, ou the wall of his chamber. In conversation with the boy’s father, the latter said: “I can understand how a somnambulistic subject can go through certain mechanical motions, but it is inconceivable to me how the boy is able to draw with such perfect attention to every detail—to put expression into an eye, for iustance, and spirit into a face.” He exhibited some very clever drawings by the boy, partially done.as he declared, while the little fellow was in this remarkable conditioniN.He is very desirous that the case should have the light of a scientific investigation.

Sensible Advice.

[Detroit Evening News.] It is the business of newspapers to print news, and anything that is of interest to the people is legitimate forage for their columns. In collecting news, however, all publishers are exposed to the danger t>f being imposed upon by designing persons or by being misled by thoughtless ones. Few publishers, we believe, would knowingly publish a false statement, especially if such publication would tend to the injury of innocent individuals, and still fewer, having inadvertently given currency to mis-statements, would not" cheerfully hasten to correct the same upon their attention being called to the error, It is utterly impossible to publish a live newspaper without from time to time falling into misfortune. If the victims in such cases would simply write to the publishers, mentioning the error, they would have no cause to complain of want of alacrity in its correction; or if they would call personally they would find editors,as a general thing,the most good natured and inoffensive people imaginable an d even readier to correct an error than to capture a good item. To get mad and go right ofTand hire a lawyer every time a mis-statement appears in print is ridiculous in the extreme, and is rarely practiced by men of reputation, dignity and sound judgment.
