THE BANKRUPT CoURT.-As the subject of
the alleged excessive and extra ordinary char
ges in Register Bonds office have been much
discussed, it proper to say that neither Bond,
nor Underwood, the clerk, nor Van Wrinkle,
the marshal, nor Underwood, the judge, are
clothed by law with any authority whatever to
change or modify in the slightest degree the
costs, fees and charges, which have been pre-
scrlbed by the Supreme court, for the enforce
ment OF the bankrupt law. A copy of the bank
rupt act and ofthe rules and regulations rela-
ting thereto, which may be had at any book
store, can enable every person interested in any
proceeding in bankruptcy, to ascertain what
are the legal costs and charges. And if any
bankrupt official, ventures to demand any fees
net authorized by law, he, or they, NAV be in
dicted, and iffound guilty, fined and imprisoned
IN the penitentiary for the period of three
years.-Rschnaond Enquirer.

BISMARCK. intelligent writer in Prussia
says that Bismarck is moro the King than the
King. More hats are lifted to him In public
than to anybody else. While the King is
planning the arrangement of the leg stripes for
his soldiers, the great Counts negotiating with
the powers that be, and always for the good of
Prussia lie lives 10 plain row of buildings,
with thick shaded garden Of lime trees in the
rear, in which he often walks to obtain relaza-
any shop window in Berlin and there is his
photograph. His name is heard at the hotels
and in the cafes There are Bismarck gloves,
Bismarck collars, Bismarck rifles, and Bis
fnarck ices. If any question Of State comesup
the newspapers wait for Bismarck to give
an opinion, 1t is said that he cares very little
for the King, but that the King cares much for
Bismarck.

CUTTING TIMBER.-If oak, hickory, or ches-
nut be ielled ia August, in the second running
of the sap and barked, quite large tree will
season perfectly, and even the twigs will re-
main sound for years; whereas that cut in win
ter, and remaining until the next fall, las
thick as your wrist will be completely sap
rotten, and will he almost unfit for any pur-
pose The body of the oak split into rails will
not last more than 10 or - years. Chestnut
will last longer, but no comparison to that cut
in August. Hickory cut in August is not
subject to be worm eaten, and lasts long time
for fencing. When | began farming in 1902,
it was the practice to cut timber for post fencing
in the winter White oak posts and black
oak rails, cut at that time would not last more
than 10 or II years In 1903, began cutting
fencing timber in August Many OF the oak
rails cut that year are yet sound, az well as
most of the chestnut. If the bark is not ia
ken off this month, it will of itself peel off the
I'd or Sd year, and leave the tree perfectly
sound The tops OF the tree are also more val
liable for fuel than when cut in winter or spring.
I advise young farmers to try the experiment,
and if post fences do not last twice as long, /
forfeit all my experience as worthless. Cor
