Taxing Lnnd ns soon nc Sold.

We find the following in the Ma
tional Intslligsncer, from which we
infer, that,' before newly entered
land can be taxed, some Legislative
action is necessary.
"We are indebted to a gentleman
in the General Land Office for tho
information given below, which is
important both to non re sident own
ers of public lands and those who
propose to purchase, but which
many OF them may be ignoront Of
that is TO say; BY an act of Con-
gress approved the Goth Of January,
lS47, the assent of government was
given to the several States admitted
into the Union prior to the oath of
April, 1920, to impose OAK or tag
es upon all LANDS thereafter sold BY
the United States in said States
from and after the day Of such sale.
The States admitted prior to that
date are Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, AL.
ALBANIA, Mississippi aud louisiana
Indiana has already, by legislation,
availed herself of this permission,
and doubtle.sly the others soon will
Prior to the passing Of this act lands
paid for in cash were not taxable I'm
til five years from the date Of sale,
and those located by "Late War
Warrants until three years from,

State" The great statesman spent
most of his time on deck, where he
was constantly surrounded by his
faithful and devoted wing friends
Yet. even amid the crowd, a Stran-

the deep, live fire of his eye-the
Splendor ofhis brow-the persuasion
Of his lips-the suavity ofhiS manner
the slow dignity Of his gait t. and
other peculiarities as widely known
such as the immensely Of his long
pointed shirt collar, the shocking
badness of his hat, und utterly indie
scribable character ofhis coat. Ali.
that unique piece of tailorship,
whence came it? What ninth part
of Kentuckian went through the
solemn mockery of measuring, snip
ping, and lifting, and finally deludrd
the simple, because great-hearted,
old man into the belirfthat the thing
was a coat? In very truth, that gar
ment is a mystery to me, whence it
came and how it came. Perhaps on
no mortal tailor rests the response
bility of its deliberate manufacture
Could it have been born, like the
poet, for it certainly was nan TT.
