A WESTERN NOTION SHEET AND

ia paper says: Duluth introduced
sheet and pilIow-case parties last week.
at the residence of George g. Stone
Esq. The uniform for ladies consisted
of pair of white stockings drawn over
their shoes. a nightgown over their
dresses, a white sheet thrown over their
shoulders shawl fashion. white gloves
on their hands, white andkerchief
tied toothache fashion: around their
heads, pink cambria mask over the
face, and a pillow case tied over their
heads IN The same manner IN which
housewives lie hand srchjefs over
their top-pisces while sweeping dusty

was similar to the above, with the ex-
ception of white shirts instead of night
gowns, and the addition, III some in

SOLDIERS HoMEsTEADs.


By an Act of Congress passed the
18th day of July last, any soldier or
sailor who served in the late war 50
days, by complying with the Home
stead law will receive patent, for 100
acres of land, along the line of any
land grant railway. while, other parties
are restricted to so ACRES This very
liberal law has been considered defec-
tive in its details, and a gentleman in
Nebraska who feels much interest in
the subject aud has had large exper-
fence in the land business, has propos.
ed the following amendments to the
law above referred to, and Senator
Harlan, of Iowa, has promised 10 EN-
body them in a bill and to use all biz
influence to secure its passage f
1st The soldier shall allowed
t,celUe months, after locating his home
stead, before he shall be required t.
settle upon it.
Cd The time that the soldier servet
in the army, shaHbe deducted from thu
time now required to perfect titles t.
homesteads.
Sd. Widows of soldiers, who are un
married, shall have the same home
stead rights, ass their husbands woolt
it living. ,
4th. Any soldier, after receiving hi
homestead certificate, may assign tn
same to another party, which assign
ment shall be valid, ptovided the part,
to whom it is assigned shall occupy tn
tract of land described in said home
stead certificate, within twelve month
from the date of the same
9th. Soldiers who .have taken home
steads prior to the passage of the &C
OF 10Th of July last, shall be allowe'
an additional eighty acres, which shall
constitute and be made part of thei
original homestead
9th. Heirs of soldires, whose ia
theirs died in the service and who's
mothers are not living, shall be entitle

act in question
