Travels AND ANUsENEEUs IL THE Flow
FRY KINGDOM W e understand that Mr..
Charles r. Thorne, the veteran theatriA
cal manager, whose recent arrival home
after an extended professional tour
through Oriental lands we have already
announced, is preparing a book of his
adventures in the Flowery Kingdom
and elsewhere This will be rare
work. Mr. Thorne is an observing and
intelligent gentleman, and his views of
the customs, habits, amusements, and
social, moral and political condition of
the Eastern people will undoubtedly
excite a lively interest, not only among
the American people, but ia European
and Asiatic communities. His expe-
rience Of forty years as a theatrical
manager will, when related, be vastly
interesting and entertaining; and,
united with his adventures all over the
world, sutiused rs they will be at one
time by the perfumes of Arabia, the
spice OF India, the sparkle of the diA-
mond mines of Brazil, the glitter of the
golden realms of California, the perils
of the plains and the attractive beau
ties Of home life, and incidental anec-
dOtes connected with his profession,
will constitute q work abounding with
freshness, strength, beauty, novelty and
originality Let us have the book, Mr..

Secretary Of State, can all be classified
as the futile attempts Of rancorous pol

ard has been q great friend Of the coun-
try. This simple language best express
es his services, because while he has
served the country he has not thought
OF himself, which proof Of Unselfshness
Is sure evidence of the sincerity of
has devotion 20 his country and his
countrymen. We do not understand,
nor do we care to ascertain, the causes
which have excited the resentment Of
some of the leading men in our own
party towards Mr.. Seward Weare too
far removed from the private circles of
these gentlemen 70 appreciate their pri-
vste griefs. But we do not know that
the people honor Mr.. SeWard-that he
is regar led by the intelligent masses as
the Nestor of American statesmen. to
whose sagscity, patience. prudence,
foresight, and wonderful intellect, we
are to-day indebted for the friendly re-
lations we hold with the governments
Of the world Nj. Seward mas. within
the past four years, saved the American
people from war with at least two of
the most powerful nations in the old
world. he has prevented, by the
skill and force OF his Diplomacy.

earnestness, why this man q SO fend-

Timber Oh the Public Lanils--A Claimant
AmAaflAn.

The Nevada Transcript of December cath
remarks: A very reasonable excitement
exists among lumbernen, caused by recent
orders from the Land Office to prevent the
cutting Of timber on the public lands.-
Some old laws and regulations which have
lain dormant nearly fifty years, have been
revived and applied to this coast. The oc.
cason of their revival was the industry Of
the attorney of the Pacific Railroad Com
pauy, enlisted by grant in the railroad bill
giving to that company five alternate sec
tons of land within ten miles on each side
of the track, when not mineral lands, and
the right to take the timber from the min
eral land. Certain lumbermen went on the
lands within ten miles of the road and erect
ed mills, and to stop their proceedings the
company invoked the power of the General
Government through the Land Office, and
hence the Instructions of Commissioner Ed
monds, TO which we have referred.
If the results of tho action of the Pacific
Railroad Company only affected the stri Of
land granted to them, few would complain.
But the very mischievous effects of this re-
vival of obsolete laws, reach Washington
Territory to the lower State line We learn
by telegraph that under Instructions of the
Commissioner, a judgment has been obtain
ed in Oregon for cutting timber on the
public lands, Of $4,000. If the regulations
are strictly enforced we cannot get foot of
lumber or a stick of wood after the present
stock is exhausted No miner can clear off
standing trees to "hydranlic" his claims or
even wash them down, Everybody who has
cut or washed down trees is liable to an
action. We must stop building and repair
ing houses, bridges, fumes etc. We can get
no title to the lands, for they are exempted
from sale. and not even allowed to be sur
veyed or pre>empted.
