Washington, Jan. 31.—[Special-] —In a few days the War Department will have completed the reply that is being made there to the Boutelle resolution regarding the rebel flag episode. The chances are, the fiery, untamed statesman from Maine will wish-he had never offered a resolution. It will doubtless be to him a boome¬ rang, as the evidence which is put to¬ gether in one formidable document in the War Department will show that if any law has been violated by the return of the captured trophies, 6orne of the Republican Secretaries of War are the guilty ones. The list so far Compiled shows that there were a great many rebel flags returned by Secretary Stanton. The same thing has been done also by other Republican Secretaries of War The record will show, so it is alleged, that there were more of the rebel trophies returned to those making ap¬ plication for them during every sin gle Republican Administration than was^possibly contemplated by Secre¬ tary of War Endicott last June, when be spoke to President Cleveland up¬ on the subject, whic-h brought forth so much bioody-shirt oratory from old palsy Fairchild and the snorting Foraker. The reply will be sent to Congress within a day or two, when it i# expected a somewhat animated scene will follow. THE ICE KING’S PALACE. Borealis Bex Takes Possession of His Magnificent Abode at St. Paul. Sr. Paul, Minn., Jan. 27.—Breezy, sunshiny weather and a crowd of 35,000 people assisted at the en trance of Borealis Rex Wednesday afternoon. His Highness was attend ed by some 1G0O members of the va rious toboggan and snow shoe clubs, and paraded the streets in bis icy car of state, dragged by six milk white horses, with polar bear outrid ers. Reaching tte Ice Palace, Presi dent George Thompson made a brief address of welcome; Mayor Smith presented the golden keys of the Palace to the Ice King, who replied with as much warmth as ho could. Tonight the ice palace was turned into a huge beacon, easily seen all over the city, by myriad electric lights withia its walls. The maze, modeled after that of Hampton Court Palace, excites much curious interest. The huge twenty foot stutae of Liucoln is not yet complet ed. The street illumination, in which many thousand colored lights are used, began tom. L. and proved as always, a most beautiful sight, A large number of visitors from the neighboring cities as well as raaoy from the East arrived during the day. There is every prospect of settled tine weather, and for ten days to come the fun will be kept up with an ever varying programme of night and day pageants, winter sports and games, industrial parades, Ere woiks, etc. Tomor.’ow will be commercial travelers’ day, atd the equipage display on Summit 1 avenue, | Indian and snow shoe races will lake ! place.

TWO MANY APPLICANTS. A Georgia Man Who Adverbial for a Wife. Sara Goddard advertised for a wife iu a Georgia paper two years ago. Sam is a countryman, who bears a striking resemblance to the uncle of fciis country, though he is not so well dressed. His advertisement was about as follows: “Wanted—A wife, “I want a good affectionate wife who will be a mother to my little children. She must bo a good house¬ keeper and well disposed. I prefer that she be light ctnnplexioned, but no red headed woman need apply. I have a homo with four children, two hundred bushels of com and fifty bushels of sweet potatoes. “I catcli ’possums enough to cook with the sweet potatoes.” This advertisement was published several times in Rome, and was cop¬ ied all over the country and in severs al foreign papers. The replies be¬ gan to come in the second day from different parts of the state, then from adjoining states, and finally from every part of the union. After a month or so letters began to come from other countries. A number came from England and Scotland, oue or two from Germany and one from New Zealand. There were over thousand letters in all. At first Goddard was blithe and joyful. His spirits rose and bubbled over in all sorts of ingenious demonstration. There were locks of Lair, miniature boquets, and once in a wliiie a pho¬ tograph. The happy rustic exhibited these trophies with undisgu sed satis¬ faction , and all went merrily with tiini then. He was the most couited rnar. la America. By and by there came a reaction. The great deeps of his heart were broken up as his ponderous and un¬ couth effect ions were gradually dis¬ sipated among a legion of admirers. He became dispondent, and finally when the foreign letters began to come m with twenty-five cents extra postage on every other one he w sick at heart. Sam never married. At least not then. The subject seemed to have gathered terrors with its numbers and (ho reality of a thousand sweethearts was far more terrible than the rosy anticipation that had preceded it. After two years ol deliberation, Sam put all these loves aside and took unto him self a wife of his home acquaintance. This is a true story and Sam Goddard now lives happily near Rome. “That Miss Jones is a uice-looking girl, isu’t she ?" “Yes, and slu 'd be the belle of the town if it wasn’t for one thing.” •‘What’s that i “She has catarrh so bad it is unpleas¬ ant to bo near her. She lias tried a dozen things ai d nothing helps her. am sony. jor I like her, but that doesn t make it any less disagreeablo for one to be around her.” Now if she had used Dr. Sage’s Cat¬ arrh liemeoy, there would hrve been nothing of the kind said, for it will cure catarrh every time.

The prosperity of our peoplo will not be attained to any great extent by tho purchu.it of property in Geor gia, by persons residing out of the state. The effect of mch investments is favm-lL, but very slightly so. Tho building of factories and shops and railroads gives employment to labor and increases the circulating currency in our land, but for every dollar of prosperity that would come in this way, ten would como by thicker settlement of our lanus. The wealth of onr people is in lauds. There wo have the meet already made, which will made more valnablo by an of hands to work. Not more one sixth of our 1 :nds can be culti vated by our present population; remaining five sixths must be ductive. If only half of our were cultivated, and no better vated than they are now, the from them would be three times great as now. But the increase of population will bring improved ods of culture. Intensive would come with density of tion, and our lands would go to price that lands command at north. The price of land will be found vary with density of population most directly. We can the prico of land in any stato learning tho density of its tion. Massachusetts has ten as many people to tho square as Georgia has, and land is ten as valnablo (hero us here, our soil is fertile and theirs is The difference of price is duo to act that all tho tillable laud in tachnseUs is in use, and the of population makes it necessary families (o make their support small tracts, and to do this have to cultivate well.
