SCHOOL LAND WARRANTS. The Supreme
Court Of California have Just decided an i'm
portant question as TO the validity OF the
location of school land warrants upon the
unsurveyed lands ofthe United State. They
decide that such locations have nOvaliditv or
value when made upon U. 5. lands before
said lands have been surveyed under the
authority Of the United States. The law of
Congress requires the public lands to be
surveyed in sections and subdivisions of sec
tons. Such survey must be made by the
L. s.. and is, in the language of the Court,
" completely beyond the control of the State
authorities The selection of the particular
tract as subdivision of public laud, in an
ticipation of the survey of the United States,
would he no less wanting in authority than
would the selection of a subdivision..in antic-
patton of the grant by Congress" The case
went up from Solano county and arose upon

a school warrant located ON said land. and

and the defendant claiming by pre-emption
under the laws of Congress. and possession
beginningin in May Of the same year. 1862.
The decision was in favor of the defendant,

THE RHINocERoss FRIEND. The rhinoce-
ross friend, and the rhinoceros hunters most
tiresome enemy, is a little bird, the Bup-
hago Africana. vulgarlv known as the rhi
noceros bird 1t constantly attends on the
huge beast. feeding on the ticks that infest
its hide, the birds long claws and elastic
tail enabling it to hold on to whatever por-
ton of the animal it tances. If it rendered
the rhinoceros no further service than rid
ding him of these biting pests, it would de-
serve his gratitude but, in addition, it does
him the favor of warning him of the approach
of the hunter. With its ears as busy as its
beak. the little sentinel detects danger afar
off, and at once shoots up in the air. utterins
sharp and peculiar mote, which the rhinoc
eros is not slow to understand and take ad-
vantage of; be doesn t wait to make inquiry
but moves off at once. Cumming asserts
that when the rhinoceros'' is asleep, and the
Buphago fails to wake him with his voice. it
will peck the inside of his ears. and otherwise
exert itself to arouse its thick headed friend.
