Does any one know how many new (arms were opened in the States and Territories last year ; how many new log cabihs have been built; how many acres of virgin soil ploaghed up tor the first time ? , It Is not probable that any one docs know with exactness, but there is a little table in the report of the Sec retary of the Interior, presented to Con nress some time nsro. which furnishes tlie material for an approximately cor. rect answer to these questions. During .the year ending with June last there were taken up under the Homestead law, 1.875.909 acres. New land taken tip under the Homestead law is for actual cultivation, and is gener ally taken in lots of lSOjicres. It would appear therefore, that more than 17,000 tAiw 4armc troro itnmmAiuwvl limlul1 ttiA Homestead law alone. liut this is not all. 4There were sold during the year 640,961 acres for cash, and 137,640 acres were allotted on military land warrants. It is no doubt true that a portion of these 778,831 acres were bought or. entered by other than actual settlers, by specu lator or by persons who made invest ments of this nature for future purposes. It would be fair to estimate, however, that ODe-half of the 778,331 acres were purchased or entered for the purpose of immediate settlement or cultivation ; and this calculation would give us 2,432 more new farms of 160 acres each. There wero also 21,048 acres entered upon. the Sioux and Chippewa half-breed strip, and 607,984 acres taken up under the timber-culture law. Leaving these two latter items out of the calculation, we have an aggregate of about 19,500 new faims commenced duiing the year. This means 19,500 new homes. In five years from now these 19,500 farms, un der good management, ought to produce annually some 20,000,000 bushels of wheat, some 40,000,000 bushels of corn. and some 400,000 head of cattle or swine making provisions more than enough to furnish meat and bread for New York city for a whole year. . Mr. Henry Meiggs, the enormously wealthy railway contractor of South America, is a native of this State, and about C5 years old. lie first sought his fortune in California, and opened up the great lumber interests of , that Western coast. He engaged in many schemes of public benefit, "but being obliged to bor row money the usurious rates of interest then prevailing in California took Lira beyond his depth, and be went to South America leaving behind him heavy lia bilities. There lie made large sums as a railway contractor and then settled the California claims.; He owns two resi dences one in the City of Lima and the other in the suburbs where he dispenses hospitality to every American or foreign er, and especially to Califbrnians, on every possible occasion. No American was ever hard-pressed for money without Mr. Meiggs coming to his rescue and applying him with means to go to any part of the world he might 'desire. '"Ilia "Qntrita," or private dwelling-bouse, is ' situated in the midst of sixty acres of pleasure grounds, filled with the rarest traits and flowers. Half of the entire product of hia orchard he gives to the Sistcre of Charity in the city, who come and gather it themselves every year, In religion Mr. Meiggs is a Protestant, bat has allowed his children perfect free eora in the choice of creeds.

From Sweden Tlie Baltic pro vinces, Courtland, Livonia, the islands ot the Botbnian Gulf, Finnland and Lapland, together three hundred and twenty thousand square miles, or con siderably more than now remains of that ancient kingdom. 2. From Poland All the territories between the Nistnla and the Dnieper, a piece ot laud as large as the whole Aus trian Empire. 3. From Turkey in Europe The Crimean Peninsula, Bessarabia, Kher son, and the province of Azov, in all, one hundred and sixty thousand square miles, or more than the States of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky taken together, while her acquisitions from Turkey in Asia, are equal in extent to the State of i Texas. 4. From Prussia The district of Blalystcck, with 184,000 inhabitants, wrested from Fredrick Wilhelm with the aid of the first Napoleon, July 7th, 1807. 5. From Austria The province of Tarnopol, in Galicia, with four hundred thousand inhabitants, obtained through tlie influence of Napoleon at the treaty ofSchoubron. 6.

For the thousands who suffer from wakefulness Dr. Cooke lays down the theory that in numerous cases of sleeplessness it is only necessary to breath very slowly and quietly tor a few minutes to secure re freshing sleep. taking note ot Dr, Cooke's idea the Jlfedical Examiner remarks : "Certainly, when the mind is uncontrollably active, and so preventing sleep we have ascertained from patients whose observation was worth trusting, that the breathing was quick and short, and they have ibnnd they became more disposed to sleep by breathing slowly. This supports Dr. Cooke's practice, but at other times his plan quite tailed. It is certainly worth any one s while who is occasionally sleepless to give it a trial In doing eo tiny should breath very quietly, rather deeply and at long inter. vals, but not long enough to cause tlie least feeling ot uneasiness." A Sure Indication. A little West Side Chicago boy came home from school the other evening, with the green leviathan, Jealousy, occupying full four quarters of his entire soul, besides hang. mg over the edges. "Oh, ma," cried he, "I can't bear to have Amy go wi-h any other boy at school thau just me I "But does she?" gasoed the mother, "Yes, she does," gasped the little lov er : "she's went with Tommy Catch two times, now." "Oh, I gue?s she dosn't mean any thins; by it," said the mother, soothingly, "Oh, yes slie does!" declared the youthful suitor. "I know site dees. saw her trade chews of gum with him !" 1 be mother then saw that it was al over with her little son. "Young man, where have you been T said an angry father to his son who came in about 11 o'clock after his first even ing with his boyhood's fair charmer, "Been to a committee meeting of the general court," was the -.reply. Then .the old man remembered when he was a boy, changed his tone and remarked "Well, I suppose they will report pro gress and advance the subject one stage. and pretty soon go into regular night sessions." There have been. filed in the office of the Secretary ot State the official bonds, approved by Governor Irwin, of J. L. Crittendon, J. R. McDonald and J. Christensen, Commissioners of the West Side Irrigation District, given in the sum ot $2,000 each. "Jennie June," in an"At-Sea" letter writesot a concert on shipboard in which appeared "a gorgeous young English man in a red necktie." There must have been a very small Englishman or a very large necktie, or else Jennie in tended to say that he wore more clothes than a necktie. She ought to be more particular in describing marine fashions. Yamhill .Reporter; Subscription to the capital stock of the P. P. T.

A GHOST STOirSV The only "true ghost story I know is the 6tory of Choker's ghost. , That is a positive fact well attested. All of the neighbors know what happened. All the neighbors saw all that was to be seen. AH the neighbors saw how it be gan ; and as it is the story ot Choker's ghost, it could not have begun until Choker died. Old choker ho had been called for a good many years before he was actual ly old, I should suppose ; but he was a very queer fellow, a man without rela tives or friends, and who seemed to want none. He was a mysterious man, too. He had a wooden leg, and do one knew how he came by it. He had a black patch over one eye, and no one could tell why he wore it. He had a rusty brown wig, and there was no man intimate enough to know whether he adopted it because he was bald or because he was grey. He had a deposit in the bank, and no one knew how he earned the money. He came a stranger to Grabtawn and bought a house and a little farm there. giving his name as Guy Choicer. - That was all that anyone knew about him, except that lie had the best crops to bo seen for miles around. He never went to church, and never chatted to a neighbor. No one knew anything against him ; as they knew nothing, they suspected a great deal ; and when at last lie was found dead one morning, all the bottled- up curiosity popped out as champagne does when it is uncorked. Everybody went to see him where he lav. Everybody attended the funeral. It was decided that he died of apo plexy. 1 here were no relatives to see to him. but there would probably be plenty left to pay for his funeral, so there was no dilhculty about that. 1 he clergyman said a doubtful sort of good word for him, and as he was dead, no one contradicted it. . . And Peggy Kinder, who said she wasn't afraid of anything was put into the house to take wire ot it. She kuew old Choker very well, hav ing done washins for him for five years. That night, the weather being chilly spring wcatner, sue maae up a gooa fare iu the kitchen and slept on an old lounre there. Once in the night she woke up and thought she heard the clump, clump, clump, of a wooden leg overhead, but though she telt a chill run up her back bone at the thought, she made up her mind that it was all nonsense, and went to sleep a 2a in. At six she was up and had put more .... coal on the fire and was filling the ket tle, when positively no fancy about it this time she did hear that clump, clump, again across tne room upstairs, ba't a dozen times, then down the stairs. The sound of Choker's wooden leg. and nothing else ; and so she turned about, shaking and trembling, she saw Choker himself at the door in Ins big flowered dressing-gown, with the black patch over his eye, and the brown wig on. "Lord have mercy on us !" cried Peg- ev Then as Choker nodded cheerfully, and said "Breakfast ready yet?" she grew be wildered. "I've been having a horrid dream, sir," she said, getting away trom the figure though, as 6he spoke ; "ana iu as natural as life. I dreamed you were dead, sir, but it was so natural that you skeer me. "Do I ?" said old Choker. "Why, bless ye, we must all die." "Yes, sir," said Peggy. "And all be buried too," said Cho ker. "I know that," said Peggy. " "Only all of us won't stay buried," said Choker, putting his finger to his nose And at that Peggy, never waited even for her bonnet, bolted out ot the house, and came tumbling into her daughter's halt an hour after, shaking with fright, and vowing she bad seen Cl.oker's ghost. The daughter was nearly as much frightened as the mother, and the news spread, but nobody believed it. At least everyone said it was ridicu lous, and that Peggy must "have been drinking. She did drink more than was good for her now and then ; and at last the undertaker himself, accompanied by the coroner the two .men nervous on the subject ot ghosts, and besides who had a thorough knowledge of Choker's death and burial, went to the house to gether accompanied by a train ot ad mirers who kept at a respectful distance as they knocked at the door. There was no answer to the first knock, but having knocked again, clump, clump came a wooden leg across the passage, aud there in the door, stood old Choker. Everyone knew him. He wore his old dressing-gown, he bad the black patch over his eye, his wig set a little on one side as usual. "Walk in, walk in, gentlemen," he said, I believe, Mr. Undertaker, 1 owe you a small bill. You are prompt in calling for it; but never mind, never mind.. Let me see the amount, and IU settle it; if .not to-day, some other day." The two men drew back. . "Zhave no bill, sir," said the odder, taker; "but hearing the report .that that " " "That Peggy had seen my ghost, I suppose, said Choker. 'Very well, sir, draw your own conclusions ; but yon deserve to be paid.. You buried me very respectably, very respectably in- deed ; and your jury gave a correct ver dict, Mr. Coroner. .It was apopiexy. An, well, don't be in a hurry. But his visitors had retreated. "It is Choker," said the undertaker to the coroner;" yet I buried him, and he was a dead man then." "It's Choker, but he was dead when I held an inquest over him," said the coroner. Tbev hurried away, and the crowd hurried away too. That day the grave was examinea. It was empty ; even Choker's coffin was gone. After that, everyone believed the sto ry but the clergyman and a scientific gentleman. The former declared that it was wick- ed to believe in ghosts ; the latter, that there was no 6uch things as ghosts. Choker is not at the house at all," he said, "and his body is in the grave, but Tonr imaginations have been so imaginations have been worked udoii. that you fancied you saw .him in the house, and you believed that j 'you did not see him in his grave. ! When a man is dead and buried, that s an end to him.'! "But goto the house and see for your self," said someone.4 "Alive or dead, Choker is there." Sir.'' said the scientific gentleman, "neither alive nor dead, can be there. Choker, ."should nflt believe I saw him. My common reuse tells me that 1 can not see him, and I never allow my senses to contradict my common sense. The house is empty. There is no one there. It is all imagination." However that may have leen, every one else in Grabtown saw him sooner or later. The lamp burnt bright in his window at night. The garden prospered under his ghostly tillage. He drew the mon ey at the bank as usual. As a ghost, his silent, reserved con duct seemed very suitable to his condi tion. Asa ghosf, it seemed very proper that he should have no friends and no kin dred. People avoided his house ot nights, and boys ran scampering awy when they saw him plodding along lonely lanes by moonlight, and old folks shook their heads and sad it was curious; but there was Choker, a tact to every one but the scientific gentleman, who when he passed him, muttered to himself "Optical illusion," and whether he was a ghost, or a man endowed with the power ot defying death and the under taker, no one felt prepared to answer, lie was known sometimes as Choker's ghost, but no one doubted :hat for a moment that somehow he was Choker, and the very Choker they had seen dead, subjected to an inquest, and buried and all this went on for ten good years, and people had grown used to it, when one cold winter morning a small note was brought to the doctor, bearing these words "Come to me. I'm ill. "Ciiokkk." "Don't, go, dear," said the doctor's wife. "I must," said the doctor ; and went accordingly. He found the door of Choker s house open, and the popular ghost himself wrapped in a blanket by the fireside. "Come in," he said, gasping tor breath,"! wasn't sure you'd come. I've been feeling the inconvenience ot bein supernatural 6ince I've been too ill to make myself a cup ot tea. Just see what is the matter with me, will you I think it's serious, whatever it is." The doctor did his best. His private opinion was that I'hoker, whoever he might be, had not long to live. Whether he had ever been dead le- fbre or not, he was certainly going to die now. "It is as I thought," said 'hokr, looking into his face. "I knew .the mala dy was incurable years ago. But the end is at hand now, eh?" "In the case of any other man should say yes,", said tlie doctor, "but I examined you once when vou were certainly a dead man, and I can't judge tor you. I don't ask your confidence, Mr. Choker, but that affair is a puzzle to me, though of course I have never taken you for a ghost." "I think I'll confide in you, doctor," sail Choker, "only you must promise to keep my secret while I live. The night before you held the inquest on old Choker I came into Grabtown. I'd been an actor once, then a soldier ; lost a leg, and came home to starve or beg. "The door of this house stood open, and in it stood a man. I came up to him j "ShV said f, they say that a fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind You've'got a wooden leg, and, perhaps, know it isn't, just the thing to stump over the country all night with. "It was old Choker I spoke to, and what he said was: I don't understand about your poe try, or scripture, or whatever it is, but I do know about wooden legs. Come iu" v-:"; "I went in, and he gave" me supper, and a bed to sleep "in, in the garret. We both saw that we looked considera bly alike, and laughed over it. That .night I slept in the garret, and when I woke in the morning, I found my host was dead, and the bouse full of neigh bors. "I felt that as the death was sudden, it might be best for me te keep out ot sight. I was as sorry for it as a 6tran- ger could be, but my being there might4 hm considered suspicious. I kept hid den up in the garret, in a great lumber closet, and beard poor Choker's affairs talked over, and learnt his habits. Some ot his clothes were up in the garret, and an old wig, and one of the patches be bad ' worn over his eye was there too ; and there was an old dress ing glass isl a corner.

Then I took some walnuts that lay on the floor and rub bed the j nice into my skin. It increased the resimblance, so did whitening my eyebrows with a bit of chalk. And I sat down and looked at myself, and the plan that I afterwards carried out came into my head. I would play old Chok er, as I knew I could. "I'd studied his voice and movements well, and as I told you, I had once been an actor, and 60 I should step into a decent home and comfortable means without hurting anyone. The night af ter he was buried I came out of the gar ret and went to the graveyard, and not to enter into details, you'll find Cho ker's coffin iu the old vault beyond his grave. Then I went back and tried the effect of my disguise on poor old Peggy Kinder. It satisfied me. I hav en't led a merry life, though I knew it would not be a long one. "Hut I've been very comfortable. and shan't die a dog's death out of doors, as I once expected. Iv'i that Choker really e never tieen afraid would haunt me. though I'm a trifle superstitious, tor I think he cou'dn't find much fault with me, as he had no relatives, never made a will, and couldn't take either his bank book or his house and farm into the other world with him. And now you have .had the story, was, for one thing, and my nose is high er. Hut there's a good deal iu make up" i These were almost the last words Choker's ghost ever spoke, for his end wa very near and it was not until, Death had taught him more Than this melancholy world doth know, that the doctor let Grabtown know the sequel of its ghost 6tory.
