Aug 17 The general land office ha« received infor mation that Judge Oeady of Oregon circuit court, has decided that preemption entries can only be cancelled by proceedings in the courts.' It has been the practice of the land office to cancel preemp ion entries upon suffi cient proof of non-compliance with the law, or want of good faith on the part of the pre emptor.

A desperate slugging match took place Monday morning, live mi.es east ot Bruce ville, between Adam Patterson, a saloon keeper, and George Mulvey. a miner, both from Brucevilte. for a purse of $500. Mul vey knocked Patterson out after one hundred and thirty-eight round*. Stakes were driven just across the line in Kankakee county, at 5.15 About 700 persons had assembled when time wa* called. The men fought with five ounce hard gl ves. Each man weighed about 180 pounds but Patterson was slightly taller than his opponent. At the commence ment the odd# wt-re given in favor of him. but alter the fiftieth round Mulvey was the favorite. Although he got some very hard knocks he punished his opponent severely, j and when the one hundred and thirty-ninth round was called Patterson was so exhausted i he was unable to speak, but shook his head. His second helped him to come to the scratch, but he fell to the ground Mulvey was as fresh as in the first round. The battle lasted two and a half houfs. THE BATTLE OF THE GIANTS.

The Employe* ot the Wabash Railroad Notified to strike by the Execvtive ommittee of the Knight* of Labor. St. Louis, Aug. 17. Last Fridav Frederick Turner, Wm. H. Bailey, J. R. Buchanan and James W. Havnes, members of the general executive committee ot the Knights ot Labor came here to have a conference with General Manager Talmage of the Wabash railroad in regard to j the relations existing between the members of the Knights of Labor and the railroad com pany, which ar*‘ said to he in quite a disturbed condition. Col. Talmage being out of the city he was telegraphed to state when and where a conference could he had. To this Col. Talmage replied that he saw no reason why he should meet the committee for the purpose named; that he was not aware of any dissatisfaction existing among the employees ot the road and he declined to confer with the committee. As an apparent result of this there was promulgated, to-day. at Mo berlv. Mo where the Wabash railroad ha« extensive shops an official order command ing ‘all Knights of Labor of the Wabash system, at all points, to quit work on Tues day, Aug. 18th, at 12 o’clock, noon, and re main out nntil further orders from the gen eral executive board.” The order has created quite a sensation in Moberly and the strike ordered is looked upon as one of the most serious for years.

Blake, another member of the water board, from their positions. Messrs Horace T. Rock well and Thomas F. Doherty were nominated to fill the vacancies Under the rules the nominations lie over one week.

River Identified and the Murderer |l'nder Arrest. Boston, Aug. 17. On the evening of Thursday, Julv 23d, the upper portion of a woman’* body encased in a bag was found floating in the Charles river near the Union boat house, the lower limbs and lower part of the abdomen being missing. The following afternoon a second portion was round ofl Mystic wharf, around which was wrapped a piece of carpet of pecu liar design wo days later the remaining parts were found floating in the inner harbor. The face was bloated and the body bore evi dence of having been in the water several days. The remains were removed to the morgue where a plaster cast of the face w as tsken, and where hundreds viewed the body for the purpose of identification. At one time it was believed to have been that of Hose Gilbert, who it was alleged had been missing from her home in Charlestown for some time, and who is said to have had some family troubles. This clew was followed out, and it was proved that Mrs. Gilbert was alive and well in Albany, N. Y. After working upon several other clews, with no better re sult, it was ascertained that Mrs. Nellie Mitchell residing at 191 Kndicott street, had been missing several days prior to the dis covery of the remains, and acting on this information the detectives obtained strong evidence pointing to her as the victim. The investigations culminated todav in the arrest of her husband. Frank Mitchell, on suspicion of being tiie murderer. The officers also arrested Patrick Flynn, a brother of Mr-. Mitchell, and locked him up as a w itness V search w .s made of the house this after noon which resulted in finding a portion of a carpet corresponding exactly with that found w rapped around the second portion of the remains. Beside this evidence the de tectives are in possession of other damaging evidence, which points almost conclusively to Mitchell as the murderer. It is known that Mitchell ami his wife had frequent quar rels, during one of which she received a, black eye an 1 was knocked dow n. Mitchell i is a native of Malta, 45 years of age, and carried on the plumber's business at his resi- dence. He appeared cool and collected, and at headquarters chatted with trie officers around him. Suddenly his eyes rested on the plaster cast of the dead woman's face. He studied it carefully, ami then with a forced laugh exclaimed, “That’s not my wife; that don’t look anything like her." He then spanned the forehead with his hand and said, i “My wife’s head was broader than that The prisoner was then searched and placed behind the bar. The detectives decline to i make public several of the most damaging facts in their possession at present. The case has been in charge of Inspector tier- j raughtv, and has involved a great amount of i excellent detective work. FROM WASHINGTON. Work to be Resumed Ht All ttie Navy Yards—Letter to Mr. Loring. Washington. Aug. 17. Orders will be sent from the navy depart ment in a few dav« directing that work shall j be resumed at all the navy yards. Already i work ha* been begun in the yards at Mare Island and Brooklyn. At the remainder it j will be begun a* soon as the organization of j the forces has been completed. The ap pointments of new foremen will be male in a short time at the yards which have not yet been manned. On June l*t many men were discharged on account of the lack of funds to continue the work. The new fiscal year gives a new appropriation with which the work can he completed. Chief Clerk Tweedale of the war depart ment will act as secretary of war during the j absence of Secretary Endicott. The secre tary will be absent front Washington until about the first «f October. First Comptroller Durham has written a j letter to Mr. Loring, ex-commissioner of; agriculture, in which be says that the latter is in error in supposing that any of the re jected accounts were for “machinery” or “experiments.” He explains that the items disallowed, amounting to about $20,000, were solely for expenditures for seed and labor, and concludes his letter by saving that unless Mr. Loring has some further state ment to make he shall proceed in the case under due process of law. Acting Postmaster General Stevenson to day declined the proposition of the American District Telegraph Company, of Philadelphia, to take charge of the immediate delivery svs tern of that city on the ground that the law contemplates the maintenance by the depart ment of its own delivery system. The commission appointed to visit the j Central and South American States in the in terest of more intimate international and j commercial relations between these countries and the United States has submitted a report of it* work in Uraguay and Argentine Re- 1 public. The report says The share of the United States in the enormous commerce of the river Platte country, which includes Par aguay, Uraguay and Argentine Republic, i« lamentably insignificant and le«* than it wa* half a century ago. The reason is very ap parent. From 40 to 60 steamers arrive at Buenos Ayres every month from Europe and not one from the United State*. The pres entation of the commission to the President of Uraguay whs the occasion of a great deal of ceremony and military di«play. At the conclusion of the ceremonies a conference was held with the government, at which a series of topics were submitted for con*idera tion.

No one lives within several miles of where it occurred This slide with its new track adj lining that of the slide which occurred 15 years ago make an immense scar over half a mile wide at the bottom. Immense piles of lumber, brush, boulders and gravel were washed into the vallev. The fields in front of Klhott's Hotel were covered with water and the eellcrs flooded. The river rose four feet in two hours and 70 feet of dam near Drake's Mills, Watcrville, were carried away. A few small bridges across the brooks were carried away, and stages were delayed until the water receded. UAKDINKK. Rev.

Have new Ereuses, large quantities of paper stock, and the itest styles of type. Orders by mail will receive prompt attention. The gradual improvement in business continues, and the general outlook is grow ing more promising daily. Six Catholic priests concerned in the late rebellion in the Northwest have signed a paper denouncing Riel, and say ing that he “does not deserve the sympa pathy of the Roman Catholic Church or its people. The report that Russia has occupied Quelpaert, in the Corean Archipelago, does not sound probable. Only a few weeks ago it was reported that the English had taken the island and had begun to for tify it. Now it is said that the English have not only disappeared, but that their rivals are doing the fortifying. If Eng land really did occupy Quelpaert, and abandoned it in deference to Russian ap prehensions. it can hardly be believed that even Russian duplicity would go the length implied to the latest rumor. Such an act indeed would strain the patience of a Liberal Government, and might be ex pected to break down the endurance of the less tolerant Conservatives. But Quelpaert is a long way off. and the news thence is apt to get warped in its travels. “Red tape” is subjected to a new dan ger. In modern armies promotion is gov erned by the rule of senility, with the re sult, too often, of a rule of senility. There is a feeling abroad that ability and im portant services rendered should have more recognition than heretofore. Un der the present system there is little to in spire ambition. A place in this line once obtained, nothing but perseverance in holding on is required to secure promo tion. The capable man should have the right to precedence over his incapable associate, and more important than that, tin* government should have the services in the more important places of its most! competent offices. In civil life the slug gish. the uiuimhitiou*. and the whole tribe of incompetents go to the wall, and the same rule will at no distant day leave the incompetents ol the army in the rear. It is just as well that Lieut. Bignelt is going to make a thorough exploration of Lake Mistassini, but we think lie is im prudent in deciding to take only Indians with him. He ought to reflect that the conflieting nature of the reports about the size of the lake are in great measure due to the faet that no large party has been there. When individuals make such ex plorations there is always danger that be cause their observations have not been cheeked they will be disputed. This is what happened to the first explorer of Mistassini, and this is what happened to the engineer of the Geological Survey. If Lieut. Bignell expects to settle the dis pute as to the size of the lake, he ought to take at least half a dozen scientific ob servers with him. Then there would re sult a body of evidence which could not be rejected, lint if he lakes only Indians, all he says on his return will have to stand alone; and should he find the lake really smaller than the arm chair geographers have decided that it must be, he is likely to experience as unpleasant a reception as l)u Chaillu encountered when he intro duced the gorilla to an unbelieving Brit ish public. A Workmen’s Friend. In Kdgiuni a manufacturer named Rey, j who employs some 31XX) people.has establish- j ed a system from which the government pro-; bably secured the model of its late legislation 1 in regard to the relations of employers and workingmen. Mr Key retains 3 per cent of the wages of all the people employed by him, i which entitles every worker in his service to the attendance of a physician free of charge when lie is ill. While sick the workingman1 gets half pay, and meat and wine when i ordered bv the physician. Women during j confinement receive medical attendance free of charge, and when a roairied workmen diet his widow receives a pension at the rate of one third of his wages, if he had been in the employ of Key ten years, and one half hit wages if he had been in his service over ten years. This pension is generally continned until the children are able to earn their own living. A pension for life is given all workmen who have been in the employ of Rey over 15 years who have become invalided. Goods are bought by the establishment at wholesale prices and sold to the working people at an advance of from 3 to 5 per cent, and it there is any profit on the transaction it is used for tht benefit ot the employees.

Many of the present day think that they mast spend their summer vacation in a tonr. Some go to Europe and then suppose that they have seen all that there is to be seen in this world, little realizing that the American continent fnrnishes scenes far surpassing those of Europe. Those who have traveled in both continents corroborate this statement. California, the Yoseraite Valley, Niagara Falls, the Adirondack*. Catskills and White Mountains, and the many lakes in Maine are unsurpassed for their beanty. I have some hopes, I coofess, of travelling in Europe at some future time, yet wishing to see some of my own coontry I recently accepted an invi tation to accompany a friend (lady of coarse, hence the name is not given.) on a drive with horse and carriage among the Catskills. One bright morning we started out and at nine o’clock we were climbing one of the highest peaks. The scenery was among the finest I have ever seen The buckwheat fields, just in bloom, appeared like patches of newly fallen snow; the hop yards like young forests. One night we found ourselves at Mr. Jervia Conine’s, in the town of Prattsville, Green Co. Mr. Conine has a dairy farm on a moun tain which is over 2000 feet above aea level. This season he has 57 milch cows. We ar rived there at about 4 o’clock in the after noon, and the cows from one of the pastures were coming down to be milked. After this is done they are turned away again for the night. After tea Mr. Colline asked his little dsughter Nors if she was going after the other cows. She did not care much about it, but when I offered to go with her she seemed quite willing. We found them quite near at hand, but after they reached the barn one was missing. Some of the men who were on the opposite side of the valley getting in hay said that she was “on huckleberry hill Think ing that the fault was mine I started for huckleberry hill, (I thought it a mountain,) to find “the lost cow.” Of course she was on the very top. In the milk room are four large pans into which the milk is poured. Around these a stream of water runs contin ually. After the cream is taken of! the soured milk runs by a trough to the barn for the pigs. The next morning we started on our jour ney and passed through the village of Pratts ville. This prettv little hamlet owes its existence to Col. J. Pratt. As you ride along with the Schohari creek on your right, on your lett high up on a cliff (500 feet) is the bust of Col. Pratt, also of one of his sons, cut in the solid rock. There are several inscriptions. Some are worthy of mention “1,000,000 hides tanned by Z Pratt for which he received a diploma at the N. Y. State fair, and the Prince Albert medal at the World’s fair in London”; 224 pounds of but ter made in one season from each of 100 cows kept by Z. Pratt on the farm opposite” (across the creek.) Near the road is a monument to some of his favorite horses and dogs. Of the former over 1000 were owned and worn out in his service. This was one of the prettiest drives we had. At the farm houses we saw a d«p. a sheep, or a horse doing the morn ing’s churning. At Lexington we were the guests of Mr. J. W Schernerham, an energetic young farmer. From thence we made excursions to West kill, where is the tam us “notch,” and to Hunter. All of these places stemed overrun with summer boarders. On our return home we passed through Windham, “the gem of the Catskills, and by Mount Pisgah (^SlOO feet) on which is an observatory, and with the aid of the telescope Mount Washington may he seen. Thousands of tourists visit this place during the summer season. Although one cannot completely “do” the Catskills with a horse anil carriage in ten days, yet it is surprising how far away from home one can get, and how much one can see in that time. I f' el amplv repaid tor my trip, for as I sat bv the numerous falls I had a splendid chance to study geology in which I am somewhat interested Often did I think ol the lines written by Cowper: "God moves fn a mysterious way His wonders to perform.” Greenville, N.

Hints for August Now. after haying, take a rest for a few days. This does not mean going off to the mountains or to the beach for a week and leaving your wife at home to do the chores If you cannot arrange to take the whole family along and have a good time, take your vacation at home. Get a tent and set it up in some of those shadv. quiet places that have looked so tempting all snmmer while you were at work in the sun, and move in and enjoy it. Get a few ham mocks, and hang them to the limbs of some spreading tree, and take your family out there, and let the neighbors talk if they want to. August is the time to plan the fall cam paign. It often happens that there is much time wasted on the farm during the fall by not having a definite plan of action at the start. There are so many things that we want to do that we do not Know where to begin; so we dig a few rbcks. a few stumps, cut a few hushes, add a few rods to some old piece of stone wall, and keep thinking we will lay a drain througn that wet place in the field. But when snow comes we cannot tell what we have done or where the season has gone. One important.job for August is cutting bushes. They a^e more easily killed by cutting this month than at any other season when the ground is bare in this latitude. Ano'her thing, which many farmers are just learning should be done early,is plow ing sod land All breaking up that is done in the fall should be done early. It is better lor the next crop than late plow ing with a fair coat of manure. Now is the time to sow barley on good rich soil for late feed for cows. It will grow till stopped by hard freezing, and is excellent food for milk production. An old bound out grass field on dry land, if plowed this month, will pr.

Mr. Glister stood at his own shop-door and looked out upon the almost empty Cathedral Close. Things were dull just then in Ravenstborpe, as they always are. except for the few months during which the Bishop is regularly resident at the Abbey Hall, and the two rival local packs contribute to make them brisk, and Mr. Glister seldom had much else to do in the long off season but pursue such limited observations of the world’s life in general as the Close offered him material for. Glister Co., goldsmiths and jewelers, had a London house in Bond street. The London manager spoke sometimes to his clients of “our Ravensthorpe branch,” which was inaccurate. The London house was only thirty years old, and had been established by the present proprietor (Co. had long since faded out of reality, but the old name of the firm was retained.) who was the third of the dynasty in Rav ensthorpe. He had personally managed the London house until satisfied of its growing solidi ty, and had then returned to his native town and established him*elt and his fam ily in the venerable building of which his business premises occupied the lowest store. He was one of the fine old race of coun try tradesmen now fast becoming extinct —proud ot his business and of the long and untarnished history of the firm. His manner was marked by a certain stolid, genial politeness to all men, untainted by any effort to ape the grand air of his cli ents. who respected him as their forbears had respected his. He passed nearly all his time in Rav ensthorpe, going to London on the occas ion of stock-taking.and to draw the hand some profits which went to swell his bal ance at the county bank, of which he was a partner. Mr.Glister was a warm man. He looked it. whith his clear, rich, rosy complexion, heightened by his crisp iron-gray hair and strips of silvery whisker,his portly waist coat crossed by the modestly solid watch chain, and the handsome diamond ring which was his solitary vanity in the article of dress. “Here he is again,” said Mr. Glister. A portlv, elderly gentleman in the dress of a rural dean turned the corner of the Close and came brisklv along the pave ment. From his countenance beamed forth benevolence and good-will to all men,and from his gleaming shoes and his neatly stockinged calves to his jol ly port-wine lace and clerical hat. his whole pers in seemed One solid smile. As he passed Mr. Glister he gave him a cas ual glance of such cordiality that the jew eler felt emboldened to salute him with a bow, a curtesy returned by the reverend gentleman by a brisk “Good-morning,” and a yet broader smile as he went bv. Fate so ordained it that Mr. Glister, dur ing the next day or two, saw a good deal of the reverend gentleman. That same afternoon the generally peaceful air of the Close was rent by the despairing wails of a very small damsel over the shattered shreds ot an earthenware jug, with which she had been entrusted for the convey ance of the family milk. The child stood ahove the ruins in such despair as only in fants ot her tender years in dread of an imminent beating can know. The child was pretty, and looked all the prettier in her innocent affliction, and Mr. Glister was a tender hearted man. Already he had taken a step toward the little one, and his finger and thumb were groping in the pocket of his portly waistcoat for the con solatory shilling which should repair the damage and dry the mourner's tears, when he saw that his charitable intention had been forestalled. The self-same ru ral dean whom Mr. Glister had that morn ing saluted, was soothing the child's grief with words of cheer and consoling pats of the tumbled golden hair that through which a little damsels tearful eyes already brighter at the sight of the proffered coin the reverend gentleman held out to her. looked up to him with shy gratitude. A pretty picture, thought Mr. Glister, bow insr again to the rural dean as their eyes met. whereat the old cleric noddod with a confused and somewhat shamefaced aspect, as though embarrassed that his good deed should have been witnessed. Next morning saw Mr. Glister again at his post of observation, and at his accus tomed hour the elderly cleric was again descried upon the pavement. The jewel er had already begun to feel a friendly, almost an affectionate, interest in the old gentleman, whose appearance was so in viting, whose voice so jovial, whose char ity so ready and unassuming. His atten tion was so completely absorbed by the approach of his new aeqraintanee that he had no ears for the quickly approaching step of a young man advancing in the con- j trarj direction. The rural dean was just opening his lips to reply to Mr. Glister’s morning salute when the young man paused preciselv opposite the jeweler, and extending his hand, hailed the old dig nity as “Uncle.” The reverent! gentle man turned with a quick start, and a stum ble, which, but for the young man’s restraining hand, would have" brought him to the ground. “You young villain,” panted the old man, “you'll never be satisfied until you have been the death ot me!” The young fellow expressed affectionate contrition for his abruptness, but his ven erable relative was evidently more shaken by his sudden appearance than it seemed likely so robust an old gentleman would have been by so slight an occurrence. He trembled and leaned upon his nephew’s arm for support, and was so evidently affected that Mr. Glister begged him to enter and seat himself in the shop until his composure should return. The offer was accepted, and the rural dean was betowed inaehair. The jeweler made hospitable offers of wine, and of a glass of water, which were refused, the old man tapping himself upon the region of the heart, and shaking his head, to indicate to him that his malady lay there, and was beyond the power of such medicaments as lie pro posed. Mr. Glister and his nephew stood above him with respectful concern. “iou should be more rarelul, Edward, mv boy—you should be more careful,” he said presently. "My dear uncle.” said the young man, ‘•I was never more ashamed in mv life. But vou are better now "Yes,” said the old gentleman “I am better. It is passing. I am extremely obliged to you. sir,” he turned to Mr. Glister, extremely obliged for your prompt kindness.” Mr. Glister bogged him not to mention it. “But I must.” said the rural dean. “It was extremely good ot you.” Mr. Glister was happy to have been of the slighest service, and deprecated further speech concerning it. “And what brought you here,” demand ed the old gentleman of his nephew, “to frighten your old uncle, who thought you were a hundred miles away, and more?” I "Can’t you guess asked the young man, with an embarassed little laugh. j “Ha!” said the old gentleman beaming-1 Good health depends largely on the condition of the liver. This organ is easily affected because of its sluggish circulation. When it becomes disordered, stagnant blood accumulates in its venous system, causing it to discharge inert or bad bile. Many forms of disease re-ult from its imperfect action, which deranges all the digestive and assimilative organs, and, through these, impairs almost every function of mind and body. There is no Better way to insure the proper action of all the apparatus necessary to health, than to aid the stomach and liver by the occasional use of Ayer’s Pills. E. A. Robinson. 151 School st., Lowell, Mass., says: “For a number of years I was stationed in the tropics; and, while there, suffered much from torpidity of the liver and indigestion. Headaches and nausea disabled me for days at a time, and it was only by the use of Ayer's Pills that 1 obtained relief. 1 know them to be the Best Cathartic Pills. They stimulate the appe tite, assist digestion, and leave the bowels in a natural condition.” John H. Watson, proprietor University Hotel, Chapel Hill, X. C., writes: “For twenty years I was a sufferer with sick headache. I began taking Ayer’s Pills, and quickly found relief. I have not had an attack of head ache for years, and attribute my freedom from it to the use of Ayer's rills.” Jared Agnew, LaCrosse, AVis., writes: I was cured of a grievous attack of Erysipelas by using Appetite renders the partaking of needful bodily sustenance a matter of pleasure. When ever the appetite fails, you may be sure the stomach and liver have become de ranged, and need to be corrected by the use of Ayer’s Pills. C. Danlv, Belton, Texas, writes: I have taken Ayer’s Pills for various affections arising from de rangements of the liver and digestive organs, and find them to be a powerful corrective.” If your Health is impaired a good cathartic medicine may aid you. Miss M. Boyle, Wilkesbarre, Pa., writes: “I use no other medicine than Ayer’s Pills. They are all that any one needs.” Dr. \V. J. Talbot, Sacramento. Cal., writes: “The curative virtues of Ayer’s Pills commend them to all judi cious practitioners.’’ Dr. Charles Alberts, Horicon, Wis., writes: Last year I pro cured from you the formula of Ayer's Pills, and have since prescribed them with decided benefit.” No poisonous drugs are Found in the composition of Ayer's Pills. Dr. A. A. Hayes, State Assayer, Boston, Mass., certifies: “I have made a careful analysis of Ayer’s Pills, with the formula of their preparation. They contain the active principles of well known drugs, isolated from inert matter, which plan Is, chemically speaking, of great importance to their usefulness. It insures activity, certainty, and uniformity of effect. Ayer's Pills contain no metallic or mineral sub stance, but the virtues of vegetable reme dies in skilful combination.” Ayer’s Ayer’s Pills, Pills for twenty days.” These Pills have been most successfully used in treatment of obstinate cases of Dropsy. taken in connection with Ayer's Sarsapa rilla, have effected thousands of wonderful cures.
