The Workings of the .sTimber
B1il,ss

An item is going the rounds of the press and
Is used as the basis of editorial comment, to
the effect that by singular omission in the
timber bill, passed at the last session of Con-
gresS, there is now no law making the cutting
OF timber on public lands for home consunp-
ton criminal offence. This lem may be
said to be "predicated on very slight if any,
foundation" and We do not advise any one i'm
this section TO count on getting his next win
ter's stove wood from the public lands If he
will go TO Nevada or any of the territories ex-
cept Washington, he may depredate 10 his
hearts content, Congress having donated the
timber to the settlers. to be used by them in
I'm United quantities, except for expectation,
without price and without punishment Or,
when the timber land is surveyed in C. California.
Oregon, Nevada and Washington territory he
may buy as much as he pIeaSeS for 50 50 an
acre, and compromise for past dapredations
AT the same rate. This is not privilege to be
sneered at, as an old and experienced dealer
In timber of that section is authority for the
statement that the timber taken from an acre
oil the redwood region aggregates in value
over 500. But the other parts of the United
States have not all the timber privileges of the
most favored section. In them the law re-
mains unchanged. If man steals timber on
the public lands, he will be treated as thief.
If detected. But even in this hard condition
OF affairs, such depredatOrs on public property
may derive consolation from the thought that
Congress, by refusing to provide the necessary
means, has reduced to minimum the danger
OF their detection and Of the enforcement of
the laws.

or Importance 10 Tax.debtors.

The last clause OF the Sd section of the act
providing a permanent form of Government
for the District is of peculiar importance to
tax-debtors and seems to have been over.
looked. 1t is as follows:
And any person who shall, within thirty
days after such notice given, pay the
taxes assessed against him, shall be allowed
by the collector deduction of five per centum
on the amount of his tax; all penalties i'm
posed by the act approved March third, eigh-
teen hundred and seventy seven, chapter one
hundred aid seventeen, upon delinquents for
default in the payment OF taxes levied under
said act. at the times specified therein, shall,
upon payment of the said taxes assessed
against such delinquents wi hin three months
from the passage of this act, with interest al
the rate of six per cent. thereon, be RENTED :"
1t will I've seen that it RENTS all penalties for
nOnpayment of taxes due the yea ending
with this June, and substitutes interest at 6
per cent. The Attorney for the Commits
sioners holds that taxes unpaid, July lst, must
be advertised, and il they remain unpaid on
the day of sd the property must be sold;
but If the tax is paid before the 1lth of Septem
Der, the sale, costs, Twill be set aside. Many
had hoped that Congress would, on like terms
remit all the old penalties for non payment of
faxes, and thus relieve the Oyerburdened Dis /.

Albany, July 2l.--At lilo p. m.
to-day a cyclone struck the north
ern part of this city, known as
Nof,i, Albany, carrying destruc.
ton before it. The stables Of the
horse car company were unroofed
and t~enty-three horses buried In
the debris. Four Of them were
killed.
Tie retort house OF the gas
company was blown down, and
the tank containing 100000 feet
of gas taken up, torn TO shreds
and deposited in different locaii-
ties, part Of the roof having been
blown over the river.
In the lumber districts boards
were blown about 10 the most
miscellaneous man,er, being bro
ken. split and twisted, and thou
sands of feet being blown ia to
the river.
The damage to houses in the
vicinity VAS alarming, two OF
them being blown down. There
were no lives lost. but several mar
| row escapes occurred. The only
serious sccij jent occurred 70 Wm
Lake, who was struck on the head
by piece of slate,
The cyclone came from the
southwest, passing over an ares
of about quarter OF a mile, and
lasted about one minute and
half. The damage is estimated al
81, ,O00,O 900.

A Patriotic Undertakins.

An association of Pennsylvania
ladies has lately been formed for
an object that will-no doubt appeal
strongly to patriotic citizens in
every section of the country. Fob
lowing ontsthe idea that wss tens-
ciously pursued by the high-spir-
tied ladies' who bought Mount
Vernon and dedicated il forever TO
the nation, they are endeavoring
to raise the money necessary to
purchase the old stone farm house
at Valley Forge. where Washipgtos
bad his headquarters all through
that memorable winter, century
ago, when the remnant Of the revc-
Iutionary army lay freezing in the
trenches that skirted the surround
ing hills. It is proposed to ft up
rooms in the old mansion in the
style OF one hundred years ago.
and, so far as possible, with furni-
ture that has done service 10 the
Washington family; and aithough
it can scarcely be expected that
they will succeed in restoring the
headquarters" in the same de-
| gree of perfection that distinguishes
the Mount Vernon homestead.
there is every prospect that tho
historic dwelling will be inyestsd
with the air of the antique, II not
the venerable. Already Massa-
chusetts lady has volunteered TO
furnish one OF the rooms in the
fashion of the eighteenth century,
| and there are doubtless many
| pepnsyl,apians who will take On
equaI pride In the proposed restsr-
alton. Contrary to the general
idea, Valley Forge is quite acces~
sible, being only an hours ride
from Philadelphia, along the rather
picturesque valley OF the schuyl'
kill, The mansion is situated 10
hollow, closely shat in by high
hills on every side, and Its massive
stone walls, high window sflls and
ca pacious closets suggest that ~
might have made cosy headqusr'
ters. despite the weather. Histor-
ically it affords q striking contrast
TO Mount Vernon, owing oil 10
fame to war, while the latter os-
came celebrated 10 peace. Il the
Pennsylvania women who are man
aging this enterprise succeed %
well as the beauti6ers OF Mouns
Vernon, they viii have performse
a distinguished public service

Our correspopdent IN South Carolina con-
