Forfeited Railroad Lands.

hundred aod fifty thousand acr s of land
rorfeited to the Southern Pacific Railroad
company were opened for settlement

in San Fraocisco and others filed at H I-
lister, M-»8t of the latter were old set-
tiers. Claims will be made up and set
tied within five months.
Curious Mud Fish.
“Two curious little lisiies live in
the mud,” said Prof. Theodore Gill to
£ae ... writer. “One of them was only
discovered recently. It was called
after myself, by way of compliment,
being named the ‘Gillichthys.’ My
namesake is a sort of goby, from six
to eight inches long. It digs a hole m
the muddy bank of a tidal creek, at
the bottom of which it sits and medi-
tates, being kept wet by the percola¬
tion of the water through the sur¬
rounding mud. It feeds on small
crustaceans largely. One remarkable
thing about tho Giliichthys is its
mouth ’ which is about one-third * the °
length of the body. It is good to eat,
and the Chinamen in tho neighborhood
of San Francisco dig in tho marshes
for specimens.
“The other mud hsh is a native of
the South Sea Islands, and is found on
other tropical coasts. It hops about
on the mud-banks when the tide is
out, being apparently as much at
home ou land as iu the water. People
call it the ‘jumping fish.’ Sometimes
it will climb the roots of trees on the
shore, making its way upwards by
means of its pectoral tins. Often it
occupies tho holes made by Tiddler
crabs. When it is hoppyig about in
the mud it is usually in pursuit of
crutaceans or of a peculiar kind of
slug that affords its favorite diet.”—
[Washington Star.
Horrors of the Sea.
Many ascertained facts of well-nigh
incredible horror would seem to sug¬
gest that the sea communicates some¬
thing of its own cruelty to those who
live on or near it. Was there ever a
tale inspired by the imagination of
the romancer more dreadful than the
true story of the “Palatine,” which
left Holland for America in 1749, car¬
rying as passengers many rich Dutch
people who intended to settle near
Philadelphia. For six weeks in pleas¬
ant weather the amply-provisioned
vessel sailed up and down the Dela¬
ware coast, while the officers and
crew cut off the food supply of the
passengers, the pangs of hunger com-
polling the unarmed and starving
wretches to buy at exorbitant prices
the miserable fragments which their
tyrants chose to deal out to them.
Twenty of them died of starvation
before the storm came up that wrecked
the ship on Block Island. In 1825
Congress made it a felony punishable
with ten year* imprisonment and
$5000 fine to show false lights for the
purpose of causing shipwreck.—

A Great Sturgeon.
W. II. Vianen, the pioneer lisber-
man of the Frazer river, had on exhi-
bition today a sturgeon fourteen feet
long and weighing nine bundled
pounds, which was caught in an oola-
chan net last night. Notwithstanding
the size of this fish and the interest it
created Mr. Vianen did not at all
feel proud of his catch, for the reason
that 11 cost Lira the tld y uttlc h^ urc o£
« 200 ’ T ‘ ,e burgeon got tangled in
theoolachar.net , and ripped it *“»<>
pieces in a very few minutes. The
net was a new one and probably the
beet one on the river. Sturgeons sell
at three cents a pound and the 900-
pounder is valued at $27, which leaves
the loss almost total. Though glad at
any time to make a heavy catch Mr.
Vianen hope* he may never again win
fisherman’s honors at such a price.—

Coyote Strategy. |
In the dim lighi of the early morn¬
ing in certain parts of the Humboldt,
Peranegat, Mason, and other valleys
may be seen a queer tawny army,
marshalled in some places by dozens
and in others by scores. The army is
called together by a reveille, and soon
thereafter the strange music which
breaks the stillness of the desert swells
into a chorus participated in by all the
members of the tawny troop.
It is the gathering of the coyotes,
and they are out, their appetites
sharpened by the crisp air, to gain
their regular breakfast of jerked jack"
rabbit meat. There is a sniffling
among the sage and grease wood by
the avant-couriers of the sharp-toothed
brigade. Meantime all the others
have been deployed in such a manner
that when a fleet-footed jack has been
raised from his lair he is passed on
and on. The coyotes usually arrange
themselves in the form of a long
elipse. Thus the jack, however largo
and strong, and whether fleet as tho
wind, is sure to at last weary him¬
self.
He cannot get out, for a wily coyote
at every turn checks him and keeps
him in tho elipse and in tho lead of
his pursuer. When the coyote iu pur¬
suit tires, another, fresh as the air of
the morning, takes up the chase.
Tlius an untiring Nemesis is always
afier him. and in due time the tired,
panting rabbit falls a prey to the yel¬
low troop.
At the death they all rush in, their
jaws working like fast-flying shear
blades. The rabbit is cut in pieces,
snapped up and eaten, and then an¬
other weird reveille is sounded, an¬
other jack is started up, and thus they
go for two or three hours sometimes
until the hunger of all is appeased.
This hunting in troops, as is pointed
out by Colonel Joseph Grandeimycr,
the sagebrush pioneer, enables each of
the brigade of coyotes to get a good
meal. If but one of tho coyotes were
to start after the rapidly flying jack ho
would become quickly winded with¬
out affecting the jack whatever, but
with relays of coyotes, and one always
to take up the chase when the other is
tired, victory soon perches on their
banner. — [San Francisco Examiner.
Clearing-House Routine.
The clearing house is an institution
founded for the purpose of exchang-
ing bills, notes, drafts and other com-
mercial paper without the trouble of
personal visit to the banks, Tho
clearing house of London, which was
the first of the kind, originated among
the bankers of that city, whose tran¬
sactions in the checks,bills, and Uiafts
drawn upon each oilier became s<
large as to call for the daily, and even
hourly, use of vast sums in bankv
notes by all of them.
Appreciating h >w readily the debt*
and credits respectively due or held bj
them might be set off one against the
other, they formed the clearinghouse,

Talking.
If a man talks about others, he is a
gossip; if lie talks about himself, he
is an egotist; if he talks about some
book lie has read, he is tiresome to all
who have not read it; if he talks
about the weather, he becomes stereo¬
typed. Docs anyone really know
wliat he can tulk about to be satisfac¬
tory?—[Atchison Globe.
