MINN.There is an interesting atorv bfick of the patent for the townsite of South Bend, Minn., which has Just been re ceived at the local land office. The land was paid for at the Winona land office June 30, 1855, more than half a century ago. The patent Is in the name of Andrew G. Cbatfleld, territorial judge, long since^ead, who made the entry in trust for the townsite. The patent covers 286 90 acres and the price paid waB $1.25 an acre, or a total of $358.62. The townsite is three miles west of Mankato, and the town, It is said, was Intended to have been a rival to that place. If its founders had such aspirations, they probably have long since this vanished. South Bend used to have a post oflice, but even that has been taken away and /the few inhabitants get their mail by rural de livery. On the theory that money put at Interest at* the legal rate will double every ten years, the price paid for South Bend, if so Invested, would 'no-v amount to $12,000. This would make the land worth about $42 an acre. From the fact that there has never been call for the patent, it is supposed there have jbeen few if any transfers of real estate in the $own. as it would be Impossible to give a clear title while the land still belonged to the gov ernment. It^ls something of a mystery how the liand department happened to send along the patent after holding it up for fifty years. Behas r.which Encouraged.

Polly, the almost human orang-outang at the New York Zoological park, went into a de cline eight months ago, and it was said that she had lung trouble and wouldf probably 'die a victim of consumption. She grew worse day by day and sat in a corner of the cage disconsolately weaving staw into circles and then tear ing them up. Chimmy, ,her chimpanzee sweetheart, cut up capers of all sorts on the flying trapeze without interesting her. One of the keepers heard that raw fruit and plenty of exercise was the best thing for consumptives, so it was decided to feed her on raw bananas. But the problem that puzzled the keep ers was how to make her exercise. When they carried in the bananas to Polly she ate them all and the keepers tried to make her get up on the flying bar and exercise. But she simply squated in the corner, looked melan choly and would not'stir. But little Chimmy, who had been watching with a wise look, seemed sud denly to- catch on, and he went into Polly's corner, and with cuffs and buffs drove her out upon the bar, where he kept her swinging, turning hand swing* and curves for a solid hour. That night Polly slept like a baby for the first time in weeks, and she woke with a new light in her eyes. Again the diet of raw fruit was fed to her and again Chimmy got busy and made her do her turn on the trapeze. She gained steadily day by day, and her cough left her. Sunday she was frisking about the cage and #aking love eyes at little Chimmy, who was the happiest monkey man in the whole tribe in the Primate's house. An examination of Polly by the sur geon showed that there was not a sign of lung trouble left.

This granite cafl be secured in abundance and laid down on the capitol grounds freight free. It makes a beautiful and substantial building, and with trimmings of Black HUls sandstone would make an attractive and serviceable cap itol.

N. Buckingham of Buena Vista county yesterday afternoon asked unanimous consent to withdraw the measure, and no one objected. The secretary of the house returned the remarkable document to the man who had been its sponsor and it found its way into the wastepaper basket at the side of his desk. Mr. Buckingham then drew a breath of relief. Mr. Buckingham decided that the time was not ripe for a law authorizing physicians to take the lives of patients they could not cure. His bill legalizing the murder of deformed babies, the hopelessly Imbecile and those afflicted With Incurable and unbearable pain met with general condemnation, and many persons took the view that its introduction was a disgrace to the Iowa legislature. The friends of the measure, tho disappointed, still believe that in time laws of like tenor will be adopted in the several states, "The higher the degree of civljlzatlon," said the Des Moines Capital editorially last night, "the mfre precious does life become.
