Tag Secretary of tbe Interior haa sent to the Senate a statement in re gard to the amount of land each of tbe Slate baa received from the United Statea for school purposes. California baa received 6,610,702 acre ; Nevada, 3JMU.4C2 acres; Oregon, 3,387,520 acre. If other . State received an equal amount with the newer States in tbe Wewt, it would Uke 26,474,688 scree.

The export from July 1st to December 1st were 65,300,000 bushels, of which the Pacific Gout supplied 9,950,000 bush la. Tbe whole crop of Crlifornia, Oregon and Washington in 1886 was 61,858,000 bushel. The figures for 1S87 have not yet been completed. '"The California 8tale Board of Trade baa Usued a circular concerning the condition of the laboring classes in California, which will be sent East for litribulion. The circular recites that work is assured all, and that higher wage are paid than for tbe same char cter of work east of the Reekie. The circular also states that the prosperity of the people ia attested by the fact that while California hu but one-fil tielh of the population of the United State, the people have one-twentieth of the total savings deposited. Forty years ago there were not north of the Arkansas river 250,000 American citixena in all the vast area between the Missouri and the Facifio Ocean. Now there are not leas than 12,000, COO, or nearly one-filth of our entire poulation. There are forty Urge cities within this area, 75,000 mile of railroad and at least on third of the telegraph lines of the United Statea. The rapidity of this growth ia in con trast with that of Australia, whose centenary ia now in course of com. memoration. Australia was settled in 1788 by a colony of 850 convicts. In 1820 it European population was only 30,000, mostly convict or discharged convict. In 1839 it ceased to be a penal colony. It grew very slow until tbe discovery of gold in 1S51. By tbe end of that year 250,000 European joined the colony. By 1S71 the popu lation waa 1,300,000; in 18S1 it waa 1450,000, and in 1887 it waa about 3,000,000, and including New Zealand, 3,456,683.

The deer, during the cold spell, came down off the hills on the low lands around Bcappooee bay in considerable number and the cougar followed. Orville Gorman, of that vicinity, went out with hia dog to hunt a cougar. He shot a wild cat, a lynx and then cougar. A party of explorers on tbe Harney lake discovered an island three miles in length that ia apparently the home and breeding place of all the various water fowl. The island is aaid to simply alive with ducks and geese and i a veiy paradise for sportsmen. Deer were also found on it in very larg numbers. An accident happened south of Mt, Tabor, and near the Gilbert place, which resulted in tbe shocking death of a little 6-year old girl of John Lin dinberg. Some men were engaged in burning brush and old timber, and the little girl was crossing the patch ground where they were at work. As she went by, a high stump that waa burning around the root fell on ber, striking on the side of her head, crush ing the skull and breaking her arm She wa quickly picked up and carried into the house, but it waa soon ascer tained that her injuries were of too serious a nature lor her to recover, and after lingering in a comatose state dur ing the day she died. In accordance with a petition of 240 residents of Harney Valley, Governor Pennoyer ha indited the following letter to tbe Commissioner of the Gen era! Land Office at Washington, D. C "In a late letter to yon I requested speedy issuance of patent to the State of Oregon to land declared to be swamp by the agent of the federal and date government. I now feel constrained to ask you to delay the granting of such patent for a time, i am in receipt of petitions and a davit of settlers in the Lakeview dis trict which have a tendency to induce the belief that the agent have made error in reporting lands as swamp lanes wnicn in reality are not such and which report would have the effect of depriving bona-flJe settlers under the United States land laws of their title to their borne. As I have before stated to the department, the State of Oregon doe not want title to one acre of land that ia not swamp una, ana me more especially ro when such title would be in conflict with tbe claims and interest of bona-fide settlers. Having it therefore strongly impressed upon me that there mav be errors in the report of the agents above reierreu to, notwithstanding mr hone oi a speeov adjustment, I would ark . .. - that no further action be taken bv your department in the matter at present. If a land office is created in Eastern Oregon, the parties interested in the land in question will be able to contest the same before the register and receiver withourtriuch expense, ana me matter can thua be sett ed right, upon indubitable testimony, snd it ougni not to be settled at all until it is settled right," A correspondent writing fmm I)rr Lake, Modoc Countr.

Ode- neal and tncent W . J p pier ate who left their home in Duarte on Decem ber 28, haa been solved by the melting of the snow in a canyon nine miles from Monroira, CaL, where the bodies were found. Tbe two lads were lying ouly a few rods apart. They evidently became lost in a snow storm and strug gled on together until they dropped down from sheer exhaustion. 1 TELEGRAPHIC. f the AkerMiw. Mo.Trsiixo, W. T. Folio wing par ticular of the wreck of the British ship Aberorn have been obtained from the three survivor : They were out 125 day from Glas gow, with 2,000 tona of steel rail con signed to the O.K. AN. Co. They took Pilot Johnson on board, a pre viously reported, and stood out to tea. The wreck occurred at half-past six Monday morning, by the vessel run ning on a sand beach. There was no gale blowing whatever, but it wu somewhat foggy. Two honra previous to striking John' son tent a man into the cross tree to keep a lookout for light at the mouth of the Columbia river, inppoaing tbey were near that locality. At the tune, tbey were steering a southeast course and carrying a light aafl. Tbe old sailor waa on watch. He says they took sounding only twice after taking Johnson on board, first on Saturday when they found eighty fathoms, and again after standing out to sea on Sunday, when they tounded and found 12U lalhoms. All the survivors agree that these were the only soundings taken. The vessel struck seven mile north of Gray's harbor, near Damon's point. Immediately after striking all hands went into the after cabin, as tbe sea wss breaking badly forward, and while they were H ere the foremast and mainmast bn.ke. and tbe deck split. About 1 :M p. m. a heavy sea broke into the cabin. Tbe old sailor, who was first out of tbe cabin, could not tell how many were drowned at that time, but ia satisfied some must bave been. Thoae who survived as cended the rigging of the miizenmast, and the old man aaw Pilot Johnson as he came out of the cabin, which was filled with water. He then aaw a wave strike him, upon which he tried to grasp the bar of the companion-way, but missed it, when a second wave struck Johnson and carried bins into tbe ocean. Tbe old man watched him for some time in the water, and says he awam nobly, but as he waa looking back at the vessel and swimming par allel with the coast, he did not appear to be making for the shore, although the sailor thinks if he had bad any thing to assist him he could easily have been saved. A little later the mizzen mast gave way, and the ship opened and let all into the sea. As the mast wa going, the old sailor jumped to clear the side of the ship, and was under water for some time. A he came up the second time he saw near him a plank about thirteen feet long, which he seised and steered for the shore. After getting on the plank, he says his hair was hardly wet, showing there was no storm. The next survivor, a man about 25 years of age, came ashore with a piece of plank under each arm. Both of the men were in the water about half an hour. The boy who was saved is an orphan and waa one of the fire boys from the training ship, all of whom were mak ing their first voyage. He will be 17 next April, but like the others his name ia unknown. He also came ashore with two pieces of plank, and wu the lut to reach shore, having been about an hour b the water, and having drifted two miles up the coast from where the others -landed. He w unconscious when found by Mr. Mclntire and an Indian. Tbe boy says be raw several persons in the ter after he had left the wreck, and wu the last to see the captain alive. At one time tbe captain waa within fifteen feet of him, and told him to hang on to his planks and not to be scared, and he would reach shore all right. Then a heavy wave struck the lad and that wu the but he saw of the captain or any of the ship 'a crew. Shortly after the boy reached shore a body wu seen floating but a short distance ironi tbe shore, but it sank immediately after being sighted, and although the Indians and Mclatire and A. O. Damon rushed into the wave up to their necks, it waa impos sible to recover the body, which wu supposed to be that of the captaiu. Mxteen bodies are reported found, includiug those of Pilot Johnson and Uie captain, the former having been recogniied by a note book found in his pocket. All the bodies were found from sixteen to nineteen miles up the coast. The ship's company consisted of the captain and twenty-four men. Un arriving at Hoquiam bay the men were most hospitably entertained and everything done for their comfort. Too much praise caznot be given to ine Indians lor the manner in which they risked their Uvea to save the drowning men, and the care they took of the survivors. 1-L - .11 iu oiu saiior mv ce bu gone tbrongu many scene of shipwreck before, but this wu the wont he hu ever witnessed. Had there been a life-saving station or a rocket to carry a une to tbe vessel, every man might nave Deen uvea, l be immediate ne cessity of a station in that vicinity is now only too apparent. Advice from Shanghai say that nearly 2,000,0u0 person are entirely destitute through the Hoang Ho flood. Two men were killed by the explo sion ol the Mandard Lxploa'.ve Co. a mixing houte near Tom' River, X. J. At Paris, a woman ws pushed off bridge into the Seine and drowned. Arrest were made, and tbe fact de veloped that the murder wu com mitted for a wager of a cup of coffee. One man hu been sentenced to penal servitude for twenty years, and another hu received a life sentence. CONGRESSIONAL Lefpibtioa Pertainisff to th Interest of th Pacific Coast ESATK. Senator Dolph reported favorably to the Senate, from the Committee on Commerce, bis bill to prevent obstruc tion to navigable streams, which wiD prohibit tbe dumping of garbage and refuse, and anything, into; any of the stream of the country which would tend to obstruct navigation. A bill wu introduced by Stewart to amend tbe mining laws of tbe United State by providing that no person shall acquire more than one mining claim oa the same vein, or relocate a claim which he hu previously located. Also requiring that each patent for miring lands (hall reserve right of way through or over any mining claim for roads, ditches, canals, cut and tunnels for the purpose cf working other mines ; provided, that damages occasioned thereby shall be assessed and paid for according to law. Mitchell moved an amendment, by providing that no Chinese (hall ever be allowed to buy public land in this country. The Secretary of War, in response to a Senate resolution, hu sent to tbe Senate a voluminous report made by Capt. C. Powell and Maj. Wagoner, respecting tbe salmon fisheries on the Columbia river, and how such fisheries interfere with and obstruct tbe naviga tion and commerce of that waterway. There are quite a number of photo graphs showing different styles of cap turing salmon, canneries and some of tbe finest specimens of fish. The Secretary of War concurs in the report of the engineer officer that it ia in the interest of commerce and navigation that the general govern ment ahould have supervision of and make proper regulations for the man agement of appliance in use for the capture of salmon on the Columbia and its tributaries. Capt Powell report that there are a dozen fish wheels below the uncom pleted improvement at the Cascade that do not now interfere with navi gation, but that when the improve ments are completed they will tend to shoal tbe waters of the river. It is recommended that the fixed part of these fish wbeela be removed. Trap and pound nets cause shoaling of the waters. Salmon seines used near Astoria do not interfere either with navigation or tend to cause the formation of bars, but in the fishiag season gill nets set across the stream often interefere with the passage of steamers and sailing vessels. It is suggested that the prevention of gill net fishing on the bar of the Columbia would result in a large sav ing of life, u between twenty and sixty fishermen are drowned on this bar every season. norME. The House passed the bill to dis continue the coinage of three-cent piecea. Representative Hermann secured the insertion into the new land bill, being proposed by the house com mittee on public lands, of the main features of his land bill, which allows a second homestead entry to those who fail to consummate their original en try through any cause except aban donment of their entry or through sale to others. Hermann introduced a bill for the dip.al or sale of mineral land on Indian reaervations; and alio that the timber on auch reservations may be uu ur mining purposes when com pensation has been made. roBTLAXD r source habkct.

A Ttsi M c,tU War Most Saacalaary CMOIct, Tbe battle-field of Sbiloh. in Tennev iee, lies twenty miles northeast of Corinth, Misa The Tenneasee river, flowing north, is en tbe east of the CTonndover which the battle waa fought; Snake creek, with it confluent. Owl creek, forms the northern, and Lick creek th southern, limit of the battle, field proper. The ground on the west is broken into high ridge and deep valleys. Itwa covered for the most part, at the date of the battle, with a heavy growth of forest tree. Toward the river tbe surface i more level, but cut in ome place into deep gorges. It wu np one of these called Dill' Branch that tho gunboat fired dur ing the battle. Th road to Pittsburgh Landing U little changed since the day we marched out from Corinth. It is hard to repeo pie this country highway, so quiet and pastoral now, with a moving army; to realize that it was once crowded from one end to tbe other with soldiery; that artillery, wagon-trains and ambulances blocked the way. It seems an age since, "burning with high hope," we went est to that fatal field "made rankly fertile with the blood of men." Every mile of the way is marked by some remembered incident Beneath the spreading branches of a wild-cherry tree, which still stands near the edge of an old field, we bivouacked with a comrade the first night out At Monte rey we saw- General Albert Sidney Johnston ride along tbe lines; and a littlp further on, a staff officer rode back and showed ns the battle-flag of our corps. At Lick creek, we met the first prisoner; be had been captured in a little affair with the cavalry. Bold and defiant he sat his horse, and gave back to the boys "a good as they sent" in the way of "chaff." Further on, the last bivouac for many brave men, where we lay within rifle shot of the enemy's lines, silent and waiting for the dawn of that "wof ul Sabbath morning." which came at last, and with it the call to arms. Down through the woods, en echelon, moved the gray lines. Then came the straggling fire from the picket, tbe whiz and sharp spat of bullets, and then the roar of musketry, the thunder of artillery, the shriek of hurtling shells, the whir of grape and canister, the hiss of Minie balls, the cry of the wounded, the wild shouts of charging lines, and above all rose an ever-thickening cloud of blue and sulphurous smoke, out of which rushed riderless horses, and men man gled and bleeding were borne, and the earth beneath it was thickly strewn with the dying and the dead. To-day, after twenty-fivo years have rolled away, we looked down into this Valley of the Shadow of Death where sleep for all time "the unreturning brave." Billowed with the foliage of waving forests, golden and bloody red with the dyes of autumn, and glorified by the sunlight of a perfect autumn day, it stretched far away, and seemingly swept on to where, bathed in a purple haze, distant hills lifted their heads be yond the shining river, quiet and peaceful now, as if thut dreadful and deadly drama had never been enacted there. Yet before us lay Shiloh, Spring and Church; the Duncan Field; the old Peach Orchard; the Sunken Road and Hornet's Nest; and the "dreadful hollow" on Till man's Branch each with its separate story of frightful carnage, fierce assault and heroic resistance. Many changes have taken place since tne battle, hvery piece of the old church has been carried away by relic hunters, and a new one has been built where it stood. The pastor of the original church was one Wolf, by name. History is silent as to whether he was the kind of a Wolf one would wish to keep from his door; but evidently this particular Wolf was kept from his own door if he was tho least bit afraid of "villainous saltpetre" for a while, at least Tho Spring where thousands who are now gone beyond the All-quiet Rivsj once qnenehed their thirst is as dry as powder-keg; the Duncan Field is a bandoned; the Peach Orchard is a thing of the past; the old Sunken Road is en tirely disused, and the"red brush" that grew so thickly at the Hornet's Nest, and was mowed down by the deadly shower of missiles from each side, has again overgrown the ground. The wood where General Johnson was wounded has been cut bare of timber, and the spot where he died is now marked by a small cedar-tree, growing in tne midst of a cotton field. The tree which stood where gallant Wallace fell has been made into rails, and only the uprooted stump regains. The limit of the battle-field caffoe made out by scars of shut and shell, which still show on the trees. The bullets have been mostly cut out, thousands of them hav ing been gathered and sold, andthou (ands collected by relic-hunters.
