This point has been designated by the C. , B. & Q. as the DIVISION STATION between the MISSOURI EIVER & DENVEE , where the principal shops , a 15 stall round house and other R. R. facilities have been located on the Denver Line. A complete system of water works costing $25,000 is just being completed giving all the facilities for comfort posessed of old cities. Lots will range in price from $150 to $500 for business lots , and . § 50 to $200 for residence lots. The .history of points like McCook show an increase of more than three hundred per cent , in from one to five years , and this town promises to be an exceptional chance for invest ments.

I have been examining the history of past Congresses , so far as the number of bills in troduced is concerned , and I find that the most prolific ses sion anterior to the "war yield ed just about one-tenth of the number of bills already intro duced in the House , which is a little rising of 7,000. Though the session of the House which began in 1859 , in December , did not transact any business , owing to the failure to elect a Speaker , until the following February , the sequel shows that the members kept them selves busy in preparing bills for introduction , for the record exhibits more of them than were eve ? presented in any two Congresses preceding. Of the more than 7,000 bills now in the House files of this session , avast majority are private bills calling for pensions , and for the relief of everybody who is impecuniously inclined ; and it is these that have the effect of postponing until the very last end of the ses-sion the great and important measures in which the public generally is most'vitally 'concerned. Each of these private bills has its friends and promoters , until action is taken upon them by the committee having it in charge , that committee has no respite from its labors , no op portunity to consider import ant public measures , no exemp tion from the importunities of the claimants. The antidote for this misehievous business , which turns Congress into a general collecting agency , is to be found in the AVI ping out of all special legislation and the establishment of some tribuii- al like the Court of Claims to take care of these trivial mat ters , Avhose consideration by Congress costs the country ten fold more than their aggregate amount in the neglect of the greater interests of the people. Contrary to all prescribed notions of the ability of the American people to write let ters , the Post Office authorities are compelled to admit that the revenue from the tAvo cent letter postage for the first year , ending October 31st , will equal if not exceed that of any pre ceding year under the three- cent system. It this be so , and there is scarcely a doubt that the prospective report will demonstrate it , there is good ground for the assumption that a still further reduction of postage on letters to one cent , without regard to weight , would result in an increased correspondence that would yield a still handsomer reve nue. Meantime Congress should make some uniform law regulating the rates of , postage on newspapers and printed matter that somebody besides the Postoffice officials and aPhiladelphia lawyer call comprehend. For instance , one of the laws in force .to-day * prescribes that the rate of postage - age on a newspaper exceeding 1,950 square inches in size , shall be two cents ! The absurdity of employing a tape measure [ , to ascertain the dimensions of I the newspaper seeking to go ' through the mail , is no greater * } than that of subjecting it to the scales to ascertain if it weighs 1 ounce or 2 ounces. After all it may not be a bad j ( idea to secure uniformity in | the laAv pertaining to marriage ti and divorce throughout the . , United States. The proliibi- 'iC * tions of marriage on account . of consanguinity and other ' , ( causes , are as diverse in the } ' several States as are the laws f J which prescribe the causes for . * ? , which divorces may be grant- \ \ ed. A movement to secure this uniformity in the law has already - ready been inaugurated. DOM PEDEO. , * I } ' A MAN named Reilley recently shot . and killed a girl , a friend of his , after repeatedly , against her protest , snap * , j ping the pistol at her which he "didn't know was loaded. " The judge in structed the jury that it was man slaughter and the sentence must be from one to fifteen years imprison ment. It is a good precedent. It will possibly serve as a reminder to brainless ycung men that they ought to go to the penitentiary on general principles whether their gun is loaded - ' * ed or not , if they point and snap it at a girl or anybody else , LANDS AND PATENTS , E.
