The Secretary of the Interior has issued an order that all the lands in the Duluth district, Minnesota, be sold at public auction. The lands are heavily timbered and are very valuable, and it is believed that by this method of sale the1 Government can realize something nearer their real value. As soon as he is sufficiently recdyered, the President will issue a proclamation to this effect.

Orvitjle Grant, who died at Mori s Plains, N. Y., Saturday, was a younger brother of General Grant, and though a moderately successful business man, for some years seemed to lose his force in middle life, and eventually became insane, his mania taking the form of large commercial transactions. He wasplaced.m an asylum in New York for a time. 'The authorities of Indianapolis announce their purpose to enforce the law against carrying concealed weap ons, and the police force has been instructed to exercise the greatest possible vigilance in aid of this purpose. The example is worthy of imitation by the authorities in all parts of the State. The law,, if enforced, will speedily check the deadly work of the "ready revolver." The thirty-eight States ot the Union contain 2,289 coun ties. Texas leads off, having 151 counties, followed" closely by Georgians 137.

America, be he Irish skirmisher1 or

jEngitehaetective." Collier; the street car driver, who killed 'two - brothers who -assailed him at Indianapolis, last week, has been discharged from cut tody. The Grand Jury, after considering the case, declined to Indict him, and the Coroner's verdict made no charge against him. Indianapolis and other roughs and hoodlums r are thus notified that the rlaw sanctions shooting them to death when they assail the persons or property of peaceable; law-abiding citizens. Mr. A. Cook, of Brownsville, Ohio, heard one Morrison, say he wished President Garfield would dletfroni the effect of his wound, whereupon he slapped the said Morrison's! mouth. For this he was fined for assault. The Cincinnati Commercial proposed a 1-cent subscription to pay Mr. Cook's fine and costi, and it has taken like wildfire.

Ha.vjsn, of the Methodist Church-, who died -at Salem, Oregon, on the j2d inst., was formerly President of the Michigan University at Ann Arbir, subsequently President of the Northwestern University at Evanstoiij 111., and afterwards Chancellor of the Syracuse University.

Nebraska might also be added with reason , and if the gai n in these Biates and Oregon is as niucli as 3'),000,000 bushels, the decrease in yiesld of wheat, according to the Bulletin's figures, will only about equal the amount of old wheat left on hand from last yea crop. Infbknai. machine Crowe, of Peoria, 111,, now makes the astonishing statement that the machiaes cost. $70,, for the entire lot; that the scheme of sending them to England was a put up job, by which a member Of the United Irishman's Society secured a reward of $10,000, he having, notified the British Consul in New York of their shipment, and that the $10,000 thus obtained from the British government has gone into the Irish fund, to be used against England. It is said, further, that Vernon Harcourt, the British Home Secretary, has acknowledged that this remarkable statement by Crowe is true. i tIs very sensibly proposed thatthe White House shall be used solely as the business headquarters of the President, and that a suitable private Presidential residence shall be provided where, under a refo mod social usage, the President and his family may enjoy the privileges ar.d immunities of social privacy, without Vke intrusion' worry and wearing annoyance of the auti-republican court mob that now makes life a burden to the - occupants of the White House. ; Washington official society needs renovating, and the example of the Presidential family living in quietude and simplicity could not fail to be wholesome.

The

probably necessity that Vice

President Arthur, on account of the continued disability of the President, shall assume the duties of the Presidential oitlee(l is forcing itself upon the attention of the country. Ii is said that executive business is in a bad condition, which in many cases is working wrong and hardships, and action upon it cannot much longer be deferred. The occupancy of the Presidential office by the Vice President

j will, of course, be temporary, qrtjuriug

the President's disability, with no ma terial changes jn the Administration. It would be in effect the administration of Garfield i.n everything but the presence, iufluence and' views of Garfield a lack that would probably coilfine executive action to necessary routine business. ' ' '

The New York Methodist, speaking of the rapid disappearing of the "exhorjer" from the M. Eu Church, says: "The disappearance of this order of men is not owing to the want of a field in which they may operate for (the field was never broader, nor more in need 'Qf such service than at this time but to the decadence of deep and clear convictions of sin among professed Christians and the sense of the fearful danger incurred by living without Topenfance and faith, Withsiu reduced to a misfortune, and bell to a myth, the occupation of vthe exhorter is gone." S ' Lours J. Jennings writes from Lon don that'iiow-a-davH a man who ik to do anything in the world may se4 the continent of Europe; but must see America. It seems that oh the other side of the water so many Englishmen are now coming over that n outward passage to America istO bo had"bn'any of the steamship lines lor love or money. Miss Clara Louire Kellogg, who has just returned to the United States, says that Europeans now talk a great deal of America, and appear to be turning their attention more than ever to American investments. She says that in Paris "everything is American; there are American stores, American insurance companies, and all sorts of American things. " In the Produce Exchange Bu ietin estimates are given that the probable yield of wheat in Ohio, HUiiois, Michigan and Iowa will he .60,500,000 .bushels less than it was last year, but that " we commence the crop year with upward of 50,000,000 bushelf. of the old Wheat-on hand," half in' the Pacific States,- and that the yield of winter wheat in Kansas and of spring wheat fn Wisconsin, ljiesota and Dakota

Texas has a magnificent foundation for a school ltmq, which, if it escapes despoilment by the Bourbon Democratic politicians? after the manner of the robbery or the school fund iii tliis State, and is intelligently administered, will furnish unstinted free educated to millions.

A handbook giving a general a c count of the Jews, just; issued by Dr. R. Andree, estimates their total number throughout the world at -about 0,100,000. Only 180,000 of the race are to he found in Asia, 400,000 in Africa; 300,000 iu America, and 20,000 in Australia. The great majority of the race, more than 5,000,000, live in Europe. Rou mania contahs a far larger number of Jews in proportion to its population than any other, European country, namely, 7.44 per cent.; while Norway contains only thirty-four individuals of the race. The local distribution of the Jewish population in diJferent countries is traced out with great pains by Dr. Andree. Thus, income of the government districts of Russian Poland the Jewish inhabitants constitute from 13 ro 38 per cent, of the population. Although for the whole- of Germany the-Jewish element is only H per cent of the population, in the City of Berlin it has increased to nearly 5 per cent. ;
