The General Land Office of the United States, though not a distinctive branch of he Government, is yet a bureau that is so Learly identified with the dearest interests of the people that its administration if en- trusted to incompetent hands wounds the public welfare to au extent not possible\ ith any other branch of the service. It the practical control of the Govern- aent's vast domain, caring for the rights the millions who seek homes tinder the magnanimous Acts of Congress; distribu- ting among railroad companies, with strict regard for the law, the millions of acres granted to them as subsidies; superintend- ing the surveys and subdivisions, and keeping the original records of title to land oovering an entire country, and de- af with jmdicious discretion the slight- itails of the vast business that comes before it in the shape of appeals from the land offices distributed throughout the country. In a word, the head of our Gen- eral Land Office is at once clothed with almost unlimited power and endless res- ponsibility in the legitimate performance his duties. This great discretionary >wer, and these vast responsibilities are ow entrusted to Hon. N. C. McFarland, r ho, since his aocession to the position, as discharged its duties to the general Bceptance of all with whom he has had racial relations, and whose official career ias been characterized by a zeal for the welfare of the public rarely demonstrated I these days of political degeneracy. Mr. McFarland is a native of Pennsyl- ania, educated to the legal profession, >racticed with success, was honored with aany political preferments, sent to both ranches of the Legislature, and repre- ented Ohio in the National Republican invention that nominated Grant in 1868. In 1870 he settled in Kansas, when his dlities were at once recognized by send- ing him to the Senate of that State. \ Recognizing him as one of the represen- tive men of the West, President Garfield in rune, 1881, tendered him the position he holds, the twenty-third day of the same month he entertained upon its duties. The Senate not being in session at the time, he of course was not confirmed, but upon the accession of President Arthur in Sep- tember following, he was promptly re- appointed by him, and in the following December unanimously confirmed by the 8enate. The uprightness, strict integrity, ability and regard for the public interests that Mr. McFarland has brought to the any positions of trust and honor he has ild, are well attested by the record he has made in them all. A Mile Trottod i n 2:10 3-4 a t Provi deuce. A thousand people saw the double team record of 2:11 broken atNarragansett Park at Providence, B. I., on Saturday. The contesting horses were \H. B.

[Prom theRocKingham, Va., Register.] 'ALLS CHCBCH, FAUQUIEB COUNTY, VA. ,) July 23, 1883. j\ Messrs. Giles Devier and John P. Kerr, Harrisonburg, Va.: Gentlemen—A friend of mine, and a rarm admirer of the poet, Edgar Allan Poe, sent me a copy of your excellent jour- nal (July 19th) containing a lengthy article on Poe—the circumstances and incidents occurring in Philadelphia some 40 years ago. . If you will grant me a small space in your paper so that I may refute this story, and disabuse the minds of his friends and the public, as to the unjust imputations and calumnies cast upon his life, character and death, you will greatly oblige his physician. In reply to the article named I wil briefly give an account of the time, his whereabouts and labors, from 1843 (or 40 years ago), and let the public judge of the correctness, or truthfulness of history. / unhesitatingly deny that Poe died drunk, and declare that the smell of any intoxicant was upon his breath or person when he en- tered the hospital. The writer states that come to his workroom in an excited manner, a wild look in his eyes, &c—des- cribing a person in a fit of delirium tre- mens, or mania a potu. Finally he loaned him mone * *' ' ~ \\ more city. _ fell in with the roughs in the monumental city. Then followed shameful gutter scenes, of course a like attack of delirium tremens, and in a few days he died in a hospital. It is a shameful and a base at- tack upon the poet, without the slightest regard for the truth. In the year 1842, Mr. Poe was joint editor and reviewer of Graham's Magazine, and I was with him ai least 18 months. Graham says publicly, over his own signature, that he was the most industrious, polite and attentive per- son he ever knew, and at no time did h« see or know that he ever drank. In the spring of o 1843, the time to which your writer refers, he received the $100 prize offered by the Dollar Magazine, for the \Gold Bug.\ In the fall of 1844, his wif< was here in ill health, and he was sub-edi tor on the Mirror, a daily paper belonging to N. P. Willis and Gen. George Morris. Willis gives the same testimony as Graham. It was while at his work with them he pro- duced the \Raven which carried his name and fame from shore to shore and over both continents. In 1845-46 he had charge of the Broadway Journal, in New York. To this city he went with his dying wife in the hope of her being saved to him, During the year 1846, Poe began to con- tribute to Godey's Lady's Book, and con- tinued so to do until within a short time oi his wife's death. In 1847 his wife died In 1848 he commenced to deliver a seri of lectures to realize sufficient means tc enable him to start a magazine of his own. Oct. 7, 1849, he died in Washington Col- lege Hospital, Baltimore city. You wil discover that from 1842 up to the fall o 1849 he was constantly employed, and am in possession of the testimoDy of ea< employer that he was sober, honest am indefatigable in his labors. I can prov< beyond the fear of successful denial tbi from 1845 up to the time of his decease h< had not tasted anything for drink bu 1 water. He came from Richmond to Balti more October 4tb, reaching Baltimore b; boat, on the 5th, at 5 p. M., was brought t< the hospital on the 6th, at 9 A. M., an< died o» the 7th, at 12:30, A. M., or half a: hour after midnight. He was in my as the resident physician of the hospital 16 hours, and was perfectly rational 15 ou of the 16. There was no smell of liqui upon bis breath or person. He gave me detailed account of his life, the address those to whom I should write regarding his death, and to his affianced, to whom he was to have been married in ten days from his death, and who yet lives, to testify the truth of what I say. I have made it my business for som< years to gather every fact and incident his life, to enable me to take the field FARMS THE NEW YORK MARKETS. November 7th .

AD important means of attaining popularity besides attractive goods and prices, is strict attention to neatness, cleanliness, order and taste in and about the store. Speaking generallj, the intelligent pnblic, those who take broad views on any subject, and are* not narrow-minded or prejudiced, will patronize, and prefer to buy of an energetic, pushing, live business man, aud it has been our satisfaction, since we started in business, to hold, mid reach that class of trade, but we believe it is in the power of every merchant to make himself and store popular, and on his doing so depends, whether or not be will be success- ful. Then again, many a successful merchant has become so, by developing some original idea, which be early found to be takiDg-, as trade earned by these methods cannot be taken away. No one is likely to get rich, dimply by trying to take away his competitor's trade, or by merely imitating hia style of doing business; one must show an individuality in the charuoter uf hia business, and have methods of its own for carrying it on; therein lie* the secret of popularity and the undaunted source of success.
