TRAVELLING CoNGREssMEN.-TheN N. York
Tribune calls upon the reporters to give
next fall the cost of the travelling expenses of
the different Committees of Congress now
about to start out on their summer excursions.
1t says:
These tours are to range from New York to
New Orleans and San Francisco, and we all
know that your true Congressman, though
loaded down with free passes, is never able to
travel, save atenormous cost when the Sergeant
alarms comes to settle the bills.

MINING AND AGRICULTURAL LANDS.

In recent instructions, says the San Francis.
co Times, of Commissioner Wilson of the Gen.
eral Land Office, to the Register and Receiver
of the Land Office at Sacramento, with regard
to tho course to be pursued where disputes
arise as to the nature of land, he holds that
lands which appear to be fitted for agriculture
and which are not known to contain minerals
shall, as rule, be regarded as agricultural and
disposed of as such. The mere possibility that
at some future time minerals might be discov-
cred in them shall not operate to prevent their
pre-empton by agricultural settlers. He points
out the necessity of taking the plainest posi-
Bile course in such matters. Thus, if forty
acre tract Is known to have q mine upon it,
which the occupier is and has been working
that tract is evidently mineral land But ii
does not follow as matter Of course that the
Iadjoiaing forty acre tract, which has no mines
'r any indications of mines, upon it, shall be Sc
'egarded. On the contrary, if its general ap.
)earance is that of agricultural land, it shall be
brown open to presumption by the farmer
| The Commissioner observes:
The mining interest does not require that
.qnds not occupied and worked for mining pur.
bosses should continue as public domain. Even
mining lands are sold TO individuals under the
aiming law, and the Government of the United
States has the same right to dispose of its agri-
cultural lands as it has to sell its mineral lands
The rights of miners are limited to lands occu
M ad ~ Them according tn fh,a min la
tions; it is not perceived what rights they have
% United States lands not thus occupied, or
why they should undertake to interfere with
their disposal. Lands not occupied for mining
purposes, and not traversed by veins of quartz
-,r other rock in place, bearing gold silver,
'nnabar, or copper, are classed as agricultural
ands, if adapted to such purpose, and they dc
not take the character of mineral land, merel,
from being surrounded by lands of that class
nor from the possible fact that shallow places,
or deep dlggings," or blind lodes may at some
future time be- found beneath their surface.
The policy of the Government is to dispose
of its domain TO Industrious and permanen,
settlers, one class of lands under the Mining
Act, and the residue according TO other statute
~ provisions Even an occasional mistake by
disposing of tracts containing placer gold, un
der the homestead or pre-emption law, but not
occupied for mining purposes at the time nor
known 10 contain gold in sufficient quantities
to render them more valuable for mining than
farming would be less evil than to discour-
age settlement and Improvement by keeping
open for indefinite exploration large sections
of country we'll adapted for farms and gardens.
If gold should afterward be found in paying
quantities there need be no fear that it would
be suffered to remain unmined very long, and
the fact that the miner in that case would not
be mere temporary occupant OF the soil,
would certainly not be to the prejudice of the
State or National Government.

A THRUST DIRECT.-In late speech in the
Senate Sprague, of Rhode Island, made this
pointed thrust. He said:

sessions of Congress. You can cancel debts
between individuals, between the citizens of
the country: and you look with holy horror up
on suggestion that if you purse q policy Of
destruction this incubus (the public debt) will
be sloughed off. You look upon it with holy

Of their New York kindred When you

LAAlARTTNE often related the following
episode from his life; About eighteen
years ago, one afternoon, a foreign traveller
sent in his card I the French poet, who
then lived in the,Rue de la Vile IEvique.
The card was nc ,%ompanied with a warm
letter of introduction, written by Prince
Hehenlohe, with whom Lamartime had
become intimately acquainted during one
Of his diplomatic missions to Germany.
The visitor was at once admitted,
It was a tel man with n stiff bearing,
rather stont, with flashing eyes and n
bristling mustacho, He came in like a hur-
ricane and rushed toward LRmartine, who
stood smiling in front of the fireplace.

roared out, the following two words;
