J SOONER OR LATER It is evident avsa "Washing- ton disnatch. that strom? efforts I will be made this winter to obtain legislation to bring about the for feiture of lands granted to rail ways in all cases where the condi tions of the laws making- the grants have not been complied with. Two classes seek to have this done one from honest mo tives, and the other, composed of shyster lawyers and claim agents, hoping thereby to secure business growing out of homestead entries, etc., upon the lands restored to the market. Leading Government officials familiar with the subject are of the opinion that discrimina tion should be used in such legis lation, as there are cases where circumstances would make it un just to absolutely forfeit grants. In other cases they think the for feiture would be fully justified. Should a general law of this char acter pass, the Northern Pacifio would lose an immense body of land. Senator Plumb has introduced a bill which provides that where a grant cf public land has been made to aid the construction of any railroad, and such road has not been completed within the time j prescribed by law, the land so granted or such quantity thereof as had not been patented or corti- i fied to such company, or to any state or trustees for its benefit, prior to the expiration of time fixed for the completion of the roads, shall revert to the United States, and shall be open to settlement as other public lands. The bill further provides that immediately uponjussjijgetltp .Secretary of the Interior shall give public no tice that the lands described are open to settlement, and that en- tries will be received at the land office in the district in which the lands are situated. Another bill, introduced by Sen ator Plumb, provides that all lands granted to railroad companies un der the aot of July 1, 1862, which is the original Pacific Railroad act, and under all the acts amendatory thereof, and to which the several companies would have become en titled upon payment of the cost of surveying, selecting and convey ing, shall be subject to all legal taxes imposed under the authority of any state or territory in which such lands are situated, to the same extent as they would have been had such costs been paid and the lands conveyed to the compa nies. By a proviso those lands already forfeited are exempt from the operation of the bill, and a further proviso declares that prior to the payment of the costs of sur veying, no taxes shall be imposed, except in organized counties. A Social Fraud. A subscriber at Racine writes to know if it would be proper for him to speak to a lady that he has never been introduced to. He says he has met her on the street, In places of business, and at par ties for two years, that he knows all her family, and she knows his, and that she looks almost as though she wished he would speak, but he has never been introduced to her, and darsent speak. No, you must not speak to her. You may go along meeting her every day till Gabriel blows his trum pet, and she may look as familiar as your sister, and yet till some mutual acquaintance says,"Mr. So-and-so, -this is Miss So-and-so," you cannot speak to her without society will say you are an impu dent thing. She may wish she knew you, and yet if you should speak to her she would feel it her duty .to society to say, "Sir!" and ! look jrreatlv offended and then , .W.. & . , von would be all broke up. If she would drop her pocket book and you should pick it up and hand it to her. she would say thank you, , with a sweet smile, but you would J have no rio-ht to speak to her the' next time you met. If she should! meet you some day and say, "How do you do, Mr. So-and-so? T have known you ever since you have lived in this town, though we were never introduced formally, and it! has got so embarrassing to pass you half-n-dozen times a day without speaking, while I speak to those that may be with you, that I have concluded not to wait for an introduction,"some number nine sport with a number six hat on would say, "Oh, my, what a flirt that lady is. She actually spoke to a man without being introduc ed." If you should frankly offer her your hand and say, "Thank you, madame lor suspending the rules of etiquette, and speaking. I have seen you so many times that your pleasant face is as wel come a sight as that of my sister, and I have wanted to know you, but had given up all idea that I ever would," some simpering fe male idiot would say, "Only to think, that, bold, awful man has actually flirted with Miss So-and- so until he lias got acquainted without a formal introduction." 2so, young man, go right along about your business, and don't try to hurry the cattle. Society must be consulted, though in some respects society ma be a confoun ded fool. PccVs Sun. Condensed Wisdom. Strive for the besV arid provide against the worst.

Nothing that is not a real crirao makes a man appear so conterapti- jble and littlo in the 03'es of the world as inconsistency. It will be found that no man isi more to be feared than the man who is willing to tell j-ou ail that he knows, because the chances are that he will tell you a great deal more than he knows. JTHE SNAKE RIVER PALIiS. For two or thrn miles above the Shoshone Falls the river flows through immense chasms, with walls on either side hundreds feet high. 1 he river is full of. rapids for miles, the descent being ; so great. At the upper Shoshone Falls, known as the Twin or Little j Falls, the river is divided by an j island, and the two streams rush j over the precipice and fall into a pool 17 feet below. As viewed from the bluff, hundreds of feet above, the sight is grand, and from below there is still more to at admire and awe the visitor. Some j four or five miles down the river j and we come to the great falls,' where the entire river descends im .,,,. -,.,- , i a sheet 210 leet. e remember; roaming around Niagara Falls, the ! .,',, , .

Some thirty or forty miles further : down stream is Solomon Falls, ex-j tending quite a distance. The greatest of these falls is only j twenty feet, but the forms andj great number of the falls and cas-. cades make it very beautiful. But . , ,. . , i r ii ' daiiuiiuiawuacauu.i. wi ..n - , the most remarkable sght we have ever seen. In the high bluffs along the river there issue numerous great springs, the waters of which fall over the rocks and are lashed t to silvery streams and spray in iltAIM rlAPinit r The first of these pours "over a cliff in a semi-i circular form and falls over 200 feet.

' In the Cathedral of Limerick there hangs a chime of bells, which were cast in Italy by an enthusiast j in his trade, who fixed his home j near the monastry where they were ; first hung, that he might daily en joy their sweet and solemn music. In some political revolution the bells were taken away to some distant land, and their maker him self became a refugee and exile. ; His wanderings brought him, after manv vnnrs. to Ireland. On a. calm' beautifll cveuinir, as the vessel which bore him floated on the placid bosom of the Shannon, suddenly the evening chimes pealed from the cathedral towers. j His practiced ear caught the sweet scniiiiL and w knew that his losti treasures wre found.
