any undue Influence and leave to each voter the
free and unrestrained privilege of casting his

tion of $l25 to assist in publication of
city map. Referred to Committee on
Finance.
The bills referred at last meeting
were returned with approval of FL
nance Committee and ordered paid.
Mr.. Huber moved that the Zanjer0
be required to deposit his books and
papers in the city vault every night.
Mr. Huber was afraid "those fellows
might gobble them up"
Mr.. Gerkens re-enforced the precau-
tionary measure by requiring that the
Zanjero deposit all of his money every
night with the City Treasurer.
Mr. Lichtenberger didn't think they
would go into the Zanjero's pocket for
four bit piece or so, and disfavored
the motion.
The latter half of the measure was
dropped and the first passed.
On motion of Mr.. Teed the City
Treasurer was notified not to pay any
warrants except those of the Board of
Education unless they are signed by
the City Clerk and countersigned by

Homestead ami Hallway Decision.

Copp's Washington Land OVner
contains the following The Land
Office decision in Watson vs.. the Mis-
souri, River, Fort Scott and Gulf Rail-
road Company, holds that pre-emp-
tor's claim is not forfeited on account
of the failure to make payment with
in the time limited 10y law, there be-
ing no adverse claimant to the claim,
and the tract is excepted from grant
to a railroad grant subsequently loca-
ted. The right to change from a
pre-emption filing to homestead en-
try is Incident to and part of the right
given the pre-emptor at the time he
initiates his claim, and upon the
change being made it relates back to
the date of his settlement. Such
homestead entry is governed by the
condition of the land at the date his
pre-emption claim took effect, and if
the land has become double the mini
mum in price, he may homestead 100
acres if the price was S1.25 per acre
when the settlement was made.
Queen VS. Southern Pacific Railroad.
The act Of July 9th, 1866, clearly
intended to authorize the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company to con-
struct its road to San Francisco, and
it gives the company the right to Sc
lect the route that it should deem
most suitable. The State of Califor-
MIA could interfere if the road was
built on line not authorized by the
State, but if that right were waived
there was no power elsewhere to in
terpose. By act of June 25th, 1865,
Congress treated this road as one crea-
ted by its authority and extended the
time for its completion and by a
joint resolution of June 2Sth 1860, it
expressly gave its consent to the line
of the road indicated by the map filed
in the General Land Office January 3,
1867. The grant to this road took ef-
feet January Sd, 1867, when the map
referred to above was filed in the Gen
eral Land Office.

A Soldiers Confdencos

One day when Napoleon L was reviewing
his troops in Paris, he let fall the rcins OF
his horse from his hands upon the animals
neck, when the proud charger gaIloped away.
Before the rider could recover the bride,
commou soldier ran cut from tue Iapks, caught
the relus, stopped the horse, andyplaced the
brible again in the hands of the Emperor.
Much obliged to you, captaiD," said Napo>
leon. The man immediately believed the
chief and said, "Of what regiment, sir"
Napoleon, delighted with his quick pcrcrp-
ton, and ready trust in his word, replied
cot my Guards :" and rode away. As soon
as tho Emperor eis, he laid down his gun,
saying, Gle uaytakc it who will !" and in
stead Of returning to the ranks whence he so
suddenly issued, he started for the company
of staff officers. They were amazed at his
apparent rt'et,ess =ad -disessGiezsee ee uG orders;
and one Of the Gcuerns contemp.uousIy said.
What does this fellow want here ?'' This
fellow" replied the soldier proudly, ''is
Captain of the Guards" "You. my poor
friend; you are mad to say so,'' was the an
swer Of the superior officer. 'Ie said it,
replied the soldier pointing to the Emperor,
stiIl in sight. Il ask your pardon sill" said
the General respectfully: q was not aware
of it" And so tho soldier camo duly to his
post as Captain of Napo!con's Guards.

An IRISH SOLDIERS DEVOTION TO stone
WALL JACKSON.-Saturday morning quite
early Mr.. Taylor, clerk at the Treasurcrs Of
fee at the Capitol, saw middle aged ard
hronze>iaced Irishman coming though tie
square with bag over his shoulder Such
sight was not uncommon but NJ Taylor
in watching him further noticed that lie was
making for the Statue of Stonewal Jackson,
and when he reached it he dashed his bag
aside, wiped his face, and fell on his knees
in front of the bronze image of the great gen
eral, and was soon evidently engaged in pray
er. The sight of man engaged in prayer
so completely upset Mr Taylor that he sent
Policeman Drinkard over there to intcrroCate
the praying lrshmsE. Before the policeman
reached the place, the son of old Ireland got
up from his knees, and in answer to the
question of Policeman Drinkard said "He
was my old eineral, and thought as I was
passing l would stop and of1er a prayer for
him. m."-Richmond Uhjg.
