TI1E FIELD OF LITERATURE , i * Among Some New Books , Covering a Va riety of Subjects. FACT , FICTION AND FANCY. Poetry , I'rosc , Hoinnnvc , Philosophy , History , Practical Instruction AVIint the Hook-makers arc 1) . Lalhrop & Co. , of lloslon , hnyc is sued three books for girls which will provonol only fasoinating to them , but extremely attractive to older members of the household , notably the mothers and all specially interested in the wclfaro of the girls. Though alike in their main purpose of proving helpful and useful to girls , Ihcrc is decidedorljjlnallty ; in each of these three little volumes , .and llielr construction and general Jrcalment are altogether different. "A New Departure for Girls , " by Margaret Sidney , tells the story of twp young sisters lett dependent upon their own exertions for support , and the brave , sensible way in wldch , which ignoring false pride they set about the unexpected tnsk of supporting them selves. Instead of rofOrtiuir to any of the conventional methods , such as tak ing music pupils , doing fancy work , or teaching school , for which they arc con scious of possessing no aptitude , they resolve - solve to utili/.o tlio training they have received in careful patching and mend- i" i by undertaking such homely work' as the repairing of old clothes. They make a beginning with a worn carpet , and succeed so well that from that time forth fortune smiles upon them. "HowThev. Learned House work , " by Christina ( Joodwu : , ti-lh in the plcasdntcst. most natural manner , the way in which four merry schoolgirls were inducted into the mysteries of cook ing , washing , ironing , making beds , putting up preserves , cutMiig out and making up under-clothing , nnd r the careful supervision of the. mother of one ofthogirlh ; the whole thing being made as delightful as a play to them , with the acces.soriosof n regular uniform , assumed names , and all the delightful liction so pleasing to the schoolgirl fancy. "Hold Up Your Heads , ( { iris ! " by Annie II. Hydor , is aptly called "Helps for girls ; _ in school and out. " It is a series of bright , wholesome , earnest : ; by a teacher who loves girls , as is plain to be seen by her simple dedication "To . " , my girls everywhere. Those talks , which are not in the least pedantic , embrace such subjects as "How to Talk , " "How to make the Most of Work " "What " "Moods " , to Study , , 'Womanliness , " "What Can I doV" " ( iirls and their Friends , " etc. , etc. , and are so bright and pleasant as well as sensible , that the average girl who doesn't ' like anything prosy or too much like preaching , will lind a charm in the pretty brown basket-cloth volume from begin ning to end. "Tim Parents' Assistant ; or , Stories for Children , " by Maria ICdgoworth , has re cently been re-published by J. H. Lippin- cott & Co. , of Philadelphia. The author and the volume are too well known to need any introduction to the reading public. i The John W. Lovcll company , of New York , has published a book called "Tho Hccord. " It is alleged to be "a poem , illustrading the philosophy of life , " An examination of the work fails , to substan tiate the allegation as to its being "a poem. " It possesses neither poetic sen timent or rytlini , and as to the "philos ophy of life11 which itclainis.toilluslrate , wo maintain that life'lSlo'dl sliort to waste any time in attempting to discover the alleged philosophy in this great produc tion. , How. any publisher could bo in duced to publish such trash is something we cannot understand unless the author paid lor it as hu would for a piece of job. work. The author shows some seiiHU ) . however , in not putting his name to the work. It is for sale in Omaha by J. S. Caiillicld. Helen J. Ranborn's "A Winlnr in Cen tral America and Moxieo , " published by Leo & Shepard , Hoston , is an entertain ing work. The descriptive style of the author is of a superior character , and cannot fail to hold the attention of the reader. Tin ; narrative is : i true , unvar nished tale , and treats principally of a country and people as yet but little known , and rarely visited or written about. Cassoll it Co. , of Now York , have recently added to their "National Library" several standard works , among them being ( ioldsmith's "Sho stoops to conquer" and "The Oood-Natured Man , " in one volume , "Life and Adventures of Haron Trenck" in Iwo volumes , "Select ions from the Table Talk of Martin Luther , " and Frnmeis Haeon's. "Tho wisdom ot the Ancients , " and "Now Atlantis. " These works are ton cents each , and the annual subscription price the "National Library. " one volume be ing issued each week , is $0. "Huglo Kchoes" is the title of a hand some volume from the publishing house of White , Stokes & Allen. New York. It is a collection of poems of the civil war , northern and .southern , edited by Francis F. Hrowno. It includes all the best poems of the war , and embraces con tributions from Hryant , Whitman. Stcd- iiuin , Holmes , Sloddarll , ilJreto Ilarto , Lowell , Poreival , Julia Ward Howe , Head , Whittier , Holland , Aldrich , Hayno , liavard Taylor , Longfellow , Howults , Winter , llnlpino , Joaquin Miller , and u host of other , besides num erous uniionymon.s poets , Mr. Hrowno has carefully edited the work , and has succeeded in producing a volume that will bo highly pitecd by the lovers of heroic poetry. "Down the West Hranoh , " written by Captain Charles A. J. Farrar and pub lished by Lee & Shepard , Ho- > ton , is an interesting nlory for boys. It is .No , ! t in the "Lake and Forest Series. " and gives an account of a trip through ono of the wildest regions of Alaino by several mem bers of the "Lako and Forest Club" in search of snort and recreation. U is handsomely llhutrated. J. S Ouilvlo & Co. , of Neu YorkTliavo issued "Perditv and Other Stories " by Klla Wheeler Wlleox.jjif ii wat ? little vol ume. The author a'sstiiwher reader * that this hook contains her very best story , "Dave's Wife. " Whatever the author of "Poems of Passions" writes is generally worth reading , and her short stories are no exception to the ri\lo \ , "Socialism and Christianity , " by A. J , Hchrcnds , D. 1) . , treats from a now point of view the problems raised by the most frequently advanced social tli orios of the day , their relations to.tho reciprocal duties of labor and capital , and the iio < sition of the Christian church with refer- enee to the social and Industrial move ments that are taking place about il , Darker & Taylor , New York , are the publishers , "Exorcises for thn Improvement of the Senses for Young Children , " by Horace ( Srant , and "Forgotten Meanings , or an Hour Witli the Dictionary , " by Alfred Wdtes ; , are two very useful untf instruc tive little volumes , issued by Leo & Shepard - ard , llostoi ) . Mr. Grant's hxerciscs have been prepared for the purpose of provid ing instruction and amusement lor the children who are too youug to leuru to read nnd write. Their special object Is to exeito little children to examine sur rounding objects correctly , so that valu able knowledge may b ncqtiired , while iho attention , memory , judgment and invention arc duly exercised. Mr. Wnltcj' work shows how the meanings of a great many words have been changed from the original , and it contains a great deal of [ iractical information. Thomas T . Snead's volume , "The Fight for Missouri , from Iho Klcction of Lincoln to the death of Lyon. " published by Charles Scribner's Sons , Now York , contains much interesting and valuable iistorical information , related in a style that is anything but dull. Mr. Knead was aldo-ife-camp of the governor , act- ng adjutant general of the Missouri Slate General ; chief of stall'of the Army > f the West , and member of the con- 'cdorato conarosa. No man bettor than 10 could tell the story of the light for Missouri. "Little Heartsease ! , " from the pen of Annie L. Wright , just published by T. H. Peterson & Heathers , Philadelphia , is ono of the interesting novels of the day. Ills ireczy , humorous and pathetic by turns , ) iit ahvays atlraetivo and absorbing. The oplc is American home life and the char- icters are mostly young men and women. hough , of course , there is a sprink'.ingof older and graver porsoii'.iges to appropn- \tely till out the charming picture. It will particularly delight younger read- ! rs , but their elders will also find it , ono ) ( the most entertaining romances they uivo over read. Charles Talbot Porter in his "Mechan ics and Faith , " published by . P. Put nam's Sons , New York , gives us "n study of spiritual truth in nature. " In Ids preface the author says : "Force , truth , beauty , and love are the four spir itual realities which , in their unity , in terpenetrate , if indeed Ihey do not con stitute , all material forms of being. Of those , love will be found to bo the single primary reality , although , on account of its underlying position , it must be the last to bo reached in any investigation. Force , truth , and beaut } ' , in nature , are the manifestations or expressions of lovo. These spiritual realities are revealed di rectly to the spirit of man , while the forms within which they are contained are made * known to him through his physical organs of percep tion. For the sake of clearness , our per ceptions may bo conceived of as being of two kinds , namely , those through which wo ate made aware of the existence of what are termed material terms of being , and those through which wojiro made aware of the existence of the spirit ual realities which are manifested to us through tho.so forms , or of which those terms are to us ( lie sensible expression. If these spiritual realities in fact exist , then it is evident that they must all bo apprehended by us , equally at least with the physical form , which then appear only as the media for their manifestation , or the concrete mode of their expression , adapted to our physical nature , if we would avoid forming partial and - superficial ficial conclusions. " One of the most useful books recently published is "Economical Housekeep ing , " compiled by Mrs. Eli/.u K. Parker , and published by M. T. Richardson , New York. It is a volume of over ( ! 00 pages and contains numerous illustrations , and is handsomely printed. Il gives a com plete system of household management for those who wish to live well at a moderate cost. All branches of cookery are carefully treated , and information is given concerning the canning of fruit , curing of meats , niakiugbuttor , washing , ironing , dyeing , renovating , _ the toilet , cr.ro of the.sick , tearing of children , cul tivating llowers , bee culture , silk culture , the poultry yard , and much else that is valuable to every housekeeper. It is just such a work us every careful house keeper needs , and it should lind a place in every well conducted household. Attluir Shcrburno Hardy , who made : i great hit in "Uut Yet a Woman , " has written another novel , "Tho Wind of Destiny , " which , it is predicted , will prove.cqually successful. It is a touch ing love story , and is charmingly written. It is published by Houjrhton. Millliu & Co. , of the liiverside Press , Cambridge , Mass. "Tho Miibtorof L'Ktrango , " by Eugene Hall , just published by T. U. Peterson & Brothers , Philadelphia , is a thrilling and absorbing novel in which love , mystery and the supernatural play important parts. A complicated and exceedingly ingenious plot , gradually developed in the most skilful manner , loads the reader on from page to page with interest that increases with every fresh stage of the fascinating romance. Such is the Hood of excitement that it is impossible to resist it , and the novel sweeps on from commencement to conclusion with num berless incidents of an extremely .start ling nature , abounding in the unexpected and Iho new. The scene is laid in this country , but th.it does not prevent the introduction of a castle , and a haunted ono at that. George Makepeace Towle's "Young People's History of England , " published by Leo & Shepard , Hoston , presents clearly and concisely the main facts in tins history of Kugland. from the Itoman Conquest to the present timo. The author has especially bad it in mind to show the growth of Iho political liberties and in- stilntions of the English people ; and to indicate in-some degree , in the chapters entitled "Progress of the People , " the changes in the social condition , and the advance in literature and the ails , of the English between one period and another. It has also been bis earnest purpose and endeavor to relate eventsand , to describe pei--ons , without bias or partiality ; to avoid obtruding judgments of his own on these events and pcrs.ms ; anil to leave it to the roadijr to make up his judgment on the many dispmen points in English history , from tacts which have been ac cepted as true on all sides. Mr. Towlo is an historical student and author of con siderable exporioneu , having written Mircrul valuable works. Ills History of England is carefully written , and has Humorous illustrations which add much to the interest ot the work. The word month is not likely soon to bo defined in its statutory use by national enactment , though u bill with that end in view had been introduced by Senator Platt , In England the legal month Is the lumtr month of twenty-eight days. This was the common law interpreta tion , but Georgia is the only state which now adheres to .that interpretation ; all other Mates go by the calendar. As the question has never boon raised in the courts the judiciary committee concluded that there was no call for any legislation on the subject , and will report the bill adversely , A few days agf an Ohio man refused $50 for anino-months-otd rooster of fancy breed , had demands for all the eggs his fowls could produce at $ U per "sotting" and hail to rent several hens at $5 each for two months to keep up with the eggs.

IIP it , - ABOUT DOMESTIC SERVICE , Masculine Theories Fail to Strike the Hoot of the Evil. To tlio Mistress ol * the llouso Itclnngo the llcsponslulllty or U"Pnt- fnctory Sci'vlcc. * .liiim II. McMittmn fntbe Fonimfur June. When n nmn attempts to deal with Ihn subject of domestic service it H generally plain cither that ho does not know or that ho willfully ignores the chief factor in the problem. Consequently ho gives for his result , % ltlio previous education of domestics , not only in the onlijrhlenmont of llioir minds but in the regulation of their tempers , is the pressing need at present. " Truly a pressing need this , no one can deny , but not the pressing : need. Grant all that may bo said of the ignorance , dullness , Indifference , insolence , indo lence , cxtravngenco of the present body cif d.omcstic workers , still it is true that Iho'pressing need at present is good nils- 1 do not mean to pay that cvcrv , iig ( woman that applies for work can be niadfc into a good servant , but I do afllnn that , with a reasonable' amount of care and judgment in selection , the making depends rather oni the mistress than on die maid. lly a good mistress , I do not mean ono who is thoroughly skilled in all the details of the actual word , for although this is highly desirable , it is not thu chief essential ; nordo I menu the kind and tender mistress , for this also , though well , IH yet not the mostimportant thing. Hnt a good mistress is u woman whose domestic business is well managed in all its departments , just as a good merchant is n man whose mercantile affairs are well conducted. And it requires more skill , it Is better housekeeping , to get .some one else to do thu work of the house well than it is to do it yourself , just as it is a higher qualification for a merchant to see to it that bookkeeper , salesman , and cash-boy are all ellieient in their places , than it is to do his own errands or sweep out his own store. Nor is there any more need of an "intolerable tyranny" over a woman in her home than there is of a like tyranny over a man in his business. In general , people no not expect good things without much pains on their own part : but hero is a ease where people seem to expect that the good will come to hand rcndyjmade , that angels una wares will take possession of their lower floors and brood peace and order over the whole household , and that good cooks , like good poets , mint be born and not madn. There will be no reform until women take hold of the matter and give it some of tlio persistent , discriminating , patient , nnd systematic thought that the subject deserves. They have seen the ditucultics Ion" enough ; lot. them now deal with the philosopTiy of the subject ; especially let them attempt an accurate estimate of their own relations to it , in order to lay down for themselves a rational ami consistent way of dealing with it. It is called a problem ; yet how many women do , of set purpose , give to it the same kind of analytic and per sistent attention that they would to any other problem ? Utitniitil this is done wo shah come to no solution , for , like every thing else , it is only by thought rational , Immune , punctilious'thought , that difli- cnlties will clear away and light appear. The most really dillioull and delicate of the questions will bo those of a nature personal to one side or the other , and must therefore be inet-and solved by each individual- hdrniilf independently. Therefore , to lay down any general principles to lit nil cases is ( impossible. Yet there arc some faults iso common to mistresses , as a class , that 1 hesitate not to declare nearly as chacacteristio und universal as the "half-done potatoes and over-done beefsteak , " thotstupidity , the despotism and the arrogance of which wo hear so much concerning the other parties in the contract. Noblesse oblige , and on the party possessingit'ie ' power , the education , the means , ' the character , rests the larger weight of = . responsibility in any effort to bring about better rela tions between the hirers and the hired. When "the master of the establishment is compelled to interfere and dismiss : t servant with words that suvor more of strength than of righteousness , " it tolls all wo need to know ofithat mistress , whatever mity be the facts on the other side. To quote the adorable Dora in "David Coppcrfieid , " at the purse-proud Mr. Doinbijy , and to argue from their experiences' total depravity of the whole race of servants , is very much as if : i question of manners or cos tume wevo to bo fortified by illustrations from Hetsy Trolwood or Miss Moweher. Uut , so iar as they have any force as argument , it is all on my side. They failed in every important respect as employers. \ \ hat , then , could wo expect of the employed ? Nor is Campbell's humorous story of his domestic adventure anything to the point. Il only shows that a man may write very good verse and yet bo mate'd to a poor housewife. People never cease to wonder that poor girls choose labor in factories , behind counters , and at sewing machines rather than the better paid , better fed , better housed , and less fatiguing work in families , They assume Unit this is "owina to an absurd prejudice that they lower their position and forfeit their in dependence in doing what they call menial work ; " but it is far more owing lo the fact that they forfeit thnir liberty. Freedom is sweet to overv human being ; and in store and factory the worker , dur ing some hours of the twenty-four , be longs to herself , and has no one to question her movements or intrude on her privaoy. Hut a housemaid can make no plans which are not likely to bo up set by the plans , or ovnn by the caprices and thoughtlessness , of her employers ; she may not have any notions or fancies ; may not , except on her "day out , " even take a bit of a walk without asking pur- mission of another ; may not express nuy pcrhonal likes or dislikes , nor indulge herself in any of the precious moods or whims in whjch nt times uvon the most prosaio and commonplace individual do- liglits. Very much of this cannot bo avoided ; rules are necessary , restrictions unavoidable ; but the average mistress , instead of trving to lighten the con sciousness of the yoke , is far more likely to cmphab/.u ! it , and , in addition to assume dictation over the tastes and leisure to those who servo hor. Kvcn if well meant , such real or supposed in fringement of personal liberty is resented and rouses a spirit of antagonism. When thcro is a general though tacit recognition among mistresses ot the perfect com patibility of domestic service with a duo independence in personal matters , this kind of labor will not bo held in such low esteem , and a better olnssof workers will not shrink from taking part in it. Hut not only is there a lack of respect for the workers among mistresses , but also a lack of respect for the work. There are hundreds of little ways in which a mistress with a genuine respect for the work can make this respect full and use it as an incentive to improve ment. "Do thus and so benwso it is my way , " says thn average woman while engaged in that dillienlt and arduous process known as "breaking in" a new girl. When the back is turned , instantly the maid docs it another'nnd probably poorer way , bfcausu it is licr way. Hut if "my way were nliowit to bo the best onouiu1 for what reasons , nnd if it were seen that the lady licreolfipunU it no Aes : > fitting and beautiful to practice the best way in the work of the kitchen than in her other affairs , then the work would seem no longer menial , hut dignified. In nny department of lifn it is idle to clamor for good results without duo re gard to processes' . Hut alllnugh fionio fail through lack of pains to delino and illustrate , there are other mistresses who carry oversight to excess. Many a good servant is spoiled by incessant inlcrfrreiico and dictation , Kvon a very dull person may bo taught in a few weeks just what work is ex pected of her and how It is to bo done , and In general she will do il heller and take far more interest if the responsibility of planning and executing be vested in herself , 'lliat housekeeper of half a pctilury ago whom Colonel Hamilton had in mind when ho dosenbed the ilrsl dish at the American dinner-parly as "the roasted mistress of the hou-so. " was prob ably ono of those women who make it a daily practice to say just when the bread shall go Into the oven or llio roast shall como out. If she had only ono servant , probably she neglected lo help her early In the day , or to see that plans wcrw well-laid and things put In train for tlioir easy e.xcciulon ; perliap.-t , indeed , she suH'ere.d matters to drift without plan , or called off the cook at a critical moment for some trilling duly eUuwhere ; and so at tin * last moment all was chaot. Or , she n\uv \ have beou guilty ot no worse calculation than u menu lee elaborate for her resources in execution. Hut in any.case , unless imo vury untoward thing happened , her "llanimg counte nance" was quite as likely the sign of bad generalship as of bad service in thu ranks. Friction In ho household means llm same as friction elsewhere cither an imperfect engine or a bad engineer \Vo have hoard ot the mechanic who said ho would have been a great inventor but for friction and gravita tion ; and there are women who would bo great housokecuors but for the frictions between the departments. They prepare the daintiest dishes ; they are great sweepers and dusters- their brasses and silver shine with the uttermost possi bilities of polish ; yet there is no harmony in the household because all the little dilllculties of thu machinery , the pro cesses , plannings and troubles are visi ble ; the servants , the hospitalities , ( lie many requirements rub against each other , or are in each other1 ! : way , and the wholojs a slovenly machine ' 1 ho first essential to good housekeeping is that parts shall run with as little bearing on each other as possible , especially that there be no loss of power through fric tion of minds and disagreement of per sons ; and this requires tact of no mean kind. Then , at the root of the whole matter lies the fact that servants are often treated as though they belonged to a dif ferent order of humanity from ourselves. It may bo that thcj are arrogant , care less , stupid , ill-tempered , still those faults are notmot in the right spirit. Even the lowest have some degree of human sensi bility. This is violated when children are allowed to tease or laugh at blun ders ; when they arc corrected in thu presence of others , especially guests ; when they arc "nagged" continually ; when every failure is rebuked , and suc cess or approximation thereto suffered to lo pass unnoticed. I am not idealizing or writing of hypothetical cases. 1 speak as one of the "modest householders1' of nearly the required twenty years' experience , who yet feel , notwithstanding tlui usual vicis situdes in the kitchen , that life is very much worth living , ami that there arc two sides to this question. I am very far from thinking that our domestics are , as a rule , satisfactory. The points 1 wish to make are : that employers are more responsible for their own troubles than they are wont to imagine ; that house keeping being the woman's half ( ami it is a full half ) of the business in which two people engage when they marry , it rests with her to deal with this large problem in a practical way ; that until she does so we shall continue to have men writing "sorrowful or splenetic or passionate" but one-sided articles , while wo remain as far as over from peace and order a.ud quiet in our homes. Millutid on American Ilo | ) ( > rtiii j. M. Albert Mihaiid , in the Paris Figaro ot May 0 , devotes a two-column leading article to the subject of reporting and its unhappy influence upon journalism in France. The article -referred to com mences thus : "Journalism has killed literature , and reporting is busy killing journalism. Nothing will kill reporting : it will die unaided. It is final expression of the literary decline of a period ; it is the literary man replaced by the janitor. " M. Jiilland then dwells briefly upon the changes that have occurred in the Paris press during the past half century , and having come down to the present period , he continues as follows : "It is clearly from the Americans that we have borrowed the art of reporting. lu the United Stales reporting is the god of the hour , for , as a reader , the Ameri can is still in his childhood and incapa ble of understanding great things in art and literatures. lie must be educated , and to accomplish this , ono must proceed as with children to whom ono first tells the story of Tom Thumb in order to suc ceed , little by little , in infusing into his mind the most beautiful Grecian and Homan fables. "In America , in effect , reporting is tie | acme of literary art. A twenty-page newspaper docs not contain one line worth'quoting. It is simply a mass of goisip , in the style of that indulged in by domestics at meal timo. Open any num ber of the New , York Herald and you will find aholo columns filled with conversations as ab.iiird as they are de void of interest. They deal with the color of M. do hessop's trousers , with the chape of his cravat , with the dishes ho cats , with his purgatives , with his snoring , and with the si/.o of his traitors and his gloves. The least important foreigner on a visit lo the capital of the United States is immediately pur sued , harassed and interviewed by a swarm of ignorant and hungry journal ists , that depend upon their victim for lOf worth of 'copy.1 They shrink from no meanness from no audacity , no hu miliation. They await you in the corri dor of your hotelinicfction you and weary your eardrum , and. lo have peace you hay a few words , out ot which they maku an atlicle of'ISO lines. "I have bpfore mo some Interviews , set forth in the Now York Herald , in which the points of u discussion are the beefsteak - steak eaten at the luncheon by the person - son referred to , the cut of his sack coat and liio shape of his hat , I was asked how much I earned per annum , whether my top coats wcro madn in London , what I should have for dinner , whether I preferred riding or walking , and whether 1 was seasick ; also how old I was , and numerous questions concerning my private life , ' \Vlml \ cnn you or your readers care about all this * " 1 inquired of these indiscreet individuals. " 'The publio likes nothing else , ' was the young men's answer , 'and if you do not reply wo nhall invent your answers,1 "As will bo seen , reporting in America verges upon cynicism. " M. Millnuil concludes with the follow- in "i "i"I ghould certainly not busy myself with this odiub tittlo-tattlo and should shrug my shoulders over it , did 1 not sec with grief how our Parisian manners are becoming - coming Americanized.Ve have not vet reached the point mentioned , but wo cer tainly bball reach it.

CZTJ VAN WYCK AND KNEVALS LANDS An Kxplnnntton nnd Dofciisc by Hon. Nntlinn lllnkcly. To the Kditor of ( ho Heatrioo Express * I notice an article in your dally issue of May . " in relation to "Tho Knovni : Lands" and "V-rtii Wyok's speculation , " copied from the Omaha ItepubMcun , and as I know theiM are some falsehoods in the artielo , and believing that friend or foe should at all times have the benefit of the truth , I request you to publish this statement. At the time of Van Wyck's entry of land. April llth , 1870 , I was receiver of the United States land ollico hero , and know that Van Wyok did not enter his land with "a sort of waste paper known as college scrip , " although many thou sands of acres in this laud district had been entered by college scrip by our own citizens ami many .non-residents before lids timo. Mr. Van Wyek scut H. M , At- kiiison , the register of the h.ud ollloe , a draft , with Intimation * to enter for him two sections of land. Mr , Atkinson used his own judgment in making , tim .selec tions for Van Wyek , ami happened to got both section * in odd numbers , and' ' what afterwards proved lobe1 lii'nillroad limits. The draft was turned over to meascash , the name as hundreds of other drafts that were sent to the olllee. for land. 1 know nothing about the "Nebraska ring" that the correspondent refers to , but do know that the people In this sec- lion of Nebraska know whore thu ser- veyors run their line , as they did that work in the day time and set tlioir stakes , and it was well known that the road waste to bo built up tile Hig Sandy , as the com pany ran but ono line. Tliu writer says ' 'thousands of acres were gobbled up by these speculators along the line of road. " This Is mostly from the fact that they were the nearest good lands that could be had at that time. Mr. Atkinson would have entered the laud for Van Wyek in ( Sage county had there have been vacant lands hero. Van Wyek lived in New York , and it was vcrv unfortunate for him as well as many otherMhat Atkinson made his selections' upon the 'odd rum- bernd .sections In the railroad limits. As far as "speculation" goes , he would have made much more by loMiing his money at ton per cent. The artielo says , "tho railroad imme diately contested the claims of Mr. Van Wyek and others on the ground that its title to the land was secured by the lijing of the plat in the land olliee at Washing ton. " This is not true , as no effort was made by the company or Kncvals to con test that , class of entries for about ten years , and not until the land had become valuable , and thu taxes had been paid thereon for ten years by tlip.M ! who had made their entries in good faith. The correspondent remarks that "tho supreme court of the United States de cided that-tho railroad title was .valid. " The country has been graduajly prepar ing lo accept decisions of this kind as between a railrjad corporation and an individual. If the Republican toils the truth , "Van Wyek paid Knevals i.oO ! ! per acre" or $ ljr."i. : "The costs of suit , were * ! > 00. " His attorney fee probably $1,000 , and ten years' taxes likely $1,000 more , and orig inal entry of l.iWO acres $1,511' . ' . This makes $8 , J7 , "II the bill becomes a law Van Wyek will be reimbursed by the government to the extent of Ihu $ ! ) . ( ) per acre and the ! ? ! K)0 ) costs. " Whyshould he not bo reimbursed by the government when the supreme court has decided that the government has no right to bell the hind ? I never know before that the gov ernment paid tluijeo.-ts in a suit when the government won' the case As the writer was "Knovals * agent" ho surely ought to know , but I cannot help thinking that Aran Wyek is out that sfDUO , also his attor ney's fee and the taxes. it seems that Van Wyek was not the only wicked individual that "gobbled up" the government lands thai wore in market and for sale lo any 0110 at $1.'J5 per acre. Several persons that we have linen in the habit ot calling- good and respectable citizens also "gobbled up" a portion of this goodly heritage at the same time and in the same manner. I suppose they wanted it for"speeulation. " Col. A. J. Cropsey "gobbled up" over 5,000 acres. lie was a good citi/.en , a leading republican and prospective candidate for governor and United States senator. Chas.H. . Willard , present re publican state treasurer took in ( MO acres. Aug. Koimt/.e , former republican terri torial treasurer and a millionaire , was contented with 1 , 00 acres. .Jacob bliolf , a Nebraska uiti/.en. adhered to : Jb0 ! acres. Hon. Jno. Cadman froze to an even ( HO acres. A. W. Nickoll walked off to Hrownvillo with 800 acres , while the Hon. F. Koper could not be. satisfied with less than 1,130 acres. A few dis tinguished persons were content with smaller amounts , or wore not so well provided with ready funds. Among this class is Hon. J. 15. Weston , II. A. Lasoilo , S. .1. Alexander , .1. H. McDowell and others. Outside of the slate , besides Van Wyek , Jacob 1) . Livingood , of Pcnn. , entered U.8IO acres ; Win. E. Ido , of Ohio , 2,000 acres ; and Cliauncy Nye , of 111. , 1,380 acres. The above named entries were all made ( as well as many others ) between HID date of the filing the plat of location in Washington and the receipt of the notice of withdrawal at the office in Heatrico , or between the. 38th of March and loth of April , 1870. Why should not all of those citi/ons receive * 3.5 ( ) or even $5 per acre for the lands they lo.se. after waiting over sixteen years. 1 think Arnn Wyek is entitled to much credit for his energetic work in securing the bill in the sonalo , as well SIN the members in the liou.se , for united and successful oiler.
