RAILROAD LASps.-The Secretary Of
the Interior has lately given an impor-
tsnt decision involving tho rights of
settlers on public lands and the Pacific
Railroad. We give the following abb
stract of il. which we find in the Wash
ington Chronicle Of December 3.
"In passing upon a presumption case
fir om California, contested by the Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad Company of Cali
fornis, the Secretary held that the grant
of lands to said railroads embraced the
unsurveyed as we'll a s the surveyed
lands traversed by tho route Of the
road; that the public domain was attic
absolute disposal of Congress and that
body could grant away the unsuryeyed
as well as the surveyed lands and the in
~tention to do so in the case Of the Pa
cifc Railroad was clear beyond doubt.
There was no more reason to suppose it
TO have been the intention to continue
to the public the right to settle un-
der the presumption laws on unsurveysd
lands. In neither case could it be done
after notice had been given to the local
officers to withdraw or withhold the
lands. The proviso in the Act Of 1864,
which says the grant shall not defeat or
impair any presumption or other lawful
claims, had reference only to such
claims as had lawful inception at the
date the right Of the road attached"

Hawthorne and Thomas Bedford were
out day before yesterday in search of
Riley, the murderer. They were in

McKeeby's Court on the 10th by Thomas
Wells, and a warrant issued for the

which Bedford and Hawthorne were
in search of the murderer. The COM

GEonoIA FAsHIoNs.-In the Gull

GEORGIA FASHIONS. - In the Gulf
States it used to be quite common for
negro children, in warm weather, to go
around quite naked-a fashion more re-
markable for its cheapness than respec-
liability. A Georgia lady, who had spent
q season North, became so much attach
ed to O Massachusetts, lady that she in
sisted that the visit should be returned,
which, In course of time, was done. The
first day at table, the Yankee lady was
horror-struck to see o negro boy of q
dozen years, stark naked, come In to
wait upon the table. The Georgia lady
suspected what caused her guests looks,
and Immediately ordered the negro out
to dress himself. This order, so unusual
to little Sambo, somewhat puzzled him.
He had no clothes save an old stock,
one Of the high, old-fashioned kind,
which some gentleman had given him.
This he buckled around his neck SO
tight that he was unable to get his eyes
lower than the ceiling, and then, to the
establishment fall present, came march-
ing into the dining-room, exclaiming,
"Now, missus, Use dressed and readyT'

HORSE EATERS.


Horse flesh, among Americans, is not
generally very highly esteemed as an
article of food, although in the advance
of the Yankee nation towardtthe Pacific
coast, dire necessity, on many occasions
has impelled the adventurous explorer
to kill his horse or his mule in order to
obtain the requisite food to sustain life.
The Indians everywhere on the CONT
neut have no objection to such animal
diet, on tho contrary, horse or mule
meat is always very acceptable with
them, and q superanuated jackass,
broken down with age and in6rmities,
falling into their hands is considered a
rare treat, especially among the Digger
Indians Of California.
Fremont, in his early western explo-
~rations, it would seem, became some
what reckless in the matter of animal
food, for the subsequent emigration to
California met with plenty of Indians
who knew Fremont, and spoke highly
Of him as 'big man-heap eatum horse /;
heap eatum mule ; heap catum dog all
same as Injun." We Jaw n native
born American who, having experience
in the article, was willing to say, hon.
estly, that he wal fond of horse flesh as
food. In that respect we are something
like the fellow who was driven oy
hunger to dine off IN old crow he had
shot and roasted OIL the Goals OF his
camp FIRE: "well, I kin eat crow, but
dam me eff I banker after it."
Among the Arabs, and other Oriental
nations, as we'll as in Franco, horse flesh
is a very Common article of food, and
the most prominent butcher shops in
Paris display it in all the various styles
of roasts, outlets, steak, tender-loinand
horse sausage. Before the sale Of it
was thus allowed, the French Govern
ment, in 1856, referred the question as
one of public health, to the Council d.
Hygiene, in Paris, and that body re-
ported in its favor. Horse flesh is sold
there at about three cents per pound,
and tho sale of it is gradually increas-
ing. 1t is also becoming an article OF
food in Denmark, Austria, Prussia, Sax
ony, w~urtemburg, and other countries
Never having partaken Of that delect-
able species of diet, we cannot speak
from experience, but those who have,
all agree in saying that when properly
cooked, horse flesh is as %palatablo and
as good as any of the coarser varieties
of meats, and that there is no reason
why it should not take its place at the
table as o welcome variety, instead o.
the everlasting beef, mutton and yea
of every day life. AS we are supposed
to derive all our principal fashions from
Paris, who knows but the Yankee n
ton may follow suit, and We, too, be-
come eaters of horses. In that case
the numerous horses and mules killed
in quartz hauling, and otherwise, in and
about Gold Hill and Virginia, may moi
die in vain. Broken down stage horses,
too, from the Overland, California, and
other routes, win yet possess q stated
value, and our restaurant, hotel and
private tables be no longer strangers to
such savory dishes as mule pot-pie,
horse head cheese, and other d~elicacies
ofthe season.

A SAD TALE.-A few days ago q me-
gro brought to the hospital in this city
ayoung man in a dying condition, whose
name was Eugene Sherwood. He was
the sousof George Sherwood, a wealthy
LIQUOR merchant of Buffalo, New York.
The boy had been placed by his parents
at q college in -, from which place
listening to the counsel of some COM
panions-he was induced to make his
escape q few months since, and to 60 to
Julesburg, where he arrived in o desti.
tute condition. At that place, and I'M
der such circumstances, he was glad to
accept q situation MS o teamster in one
Of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s freight trains,
bound for one of the northern Govern
ment posts, At tho termination of his
trip he found himself in Cheyenne, and
obtained a situation as bar-keeper in a
saloon in this city. A few days ago he
was seized with o dangerous and pain
full attack Of pneumonia, which, in spite
of the best medical attendance, resulted
in congestion of the lungs. Drs. Irwin
and Graham took q lively interest in
the boy, and despairing of saving his
life, despatched q telegraphic message
to his father in Buffalo, informing him
Of the condition of his dying son, and
expected in a few days to see tho afhict-
cd father in Cheyenne. Within twenty
four hours the following reply was re-
ceived: If he dies, bury him-will pay
expenses" Collect So 80.
This kind, fatherly message from the
wealthy George Sherwood to his unfor-
%tunate son, dying in q hospital, for from
friends and home, was sent, subject to
charges of So 80, which was paid, and
when the poor young gentleman died,
as he did two days aftcrward, his eyes
were closed, and the last sad offices
which can be performed for departed
mortalt1. wore executed by men who
we're strangers to the poor lad, but were
friends Of humanity; and, fortunately
for the noble father of the forgotten
boy, no funeral expenses will be re-
quired of him.-Cheyenne argus, Dec.

in it. A few make fortunes, but the
majority come away from the gold re-

thousand men now in Montana who
