POSED LAWS.
Special Telegram to the Inter.occau.
Washington, February I5.-Seuato,
Booth, from the Committee ON Public
Lands. has reported favOrably a bill
which IL designated to afford to set.
tiers on the public lands great relief
from hardshfps which have grown du
by construction Of the present laws In
the executive department.
Under the present law the right of q
pre-emptor on the public land attaches
from the date of settlement, but the
right of . settler under the homestead
law only from the date of entry. The
entry under the pre-emption laws is
the final proceeding, while the entry
liminary proceeding, which being fol-
lowed by five years residence and i'm
provement, and final proof Of same,
then the right to q patent vests.
An entry under Homestead laws cam
not be made until after survey, because
before survey no certain description
Of the land can be given, but the pre-
emptor who settles before survey Is
allowed three months after survey 10
file his declaratory statement (which
u put on record that he intends 10 en-
ter the tract described under the pre-
emption laws, having settled On the
same at given date, and his right re-
lates back to that date, to the exclusion
Of any other settlers or railroad or any
other grants.
There Is no reason why the right of
the homestead settler should not relate
back by his alleging the date of his
settlement In his homestead afi1davit;
and the fact that q settler now before
survey has no option, but must claim
under the pre- enptiOn law in order to
cut OF intervening settlers or grants,
Is sufficient reason why 1t should re-
late back, for many settlers have al
ready used their pre-emptiOn right,
and are now, although In possession
Of valuable improvements, entirely at
the mercy Of intervening pre-emptors
or railroad grants.
There can be no doubt that the first
seftier, whether he claims as . pre-
emptor or as homesteader, should
have the land, but the present law does
not give II to him.
It IL now held BY the. Secretary OF
the Interior that no rights can attach
under any law Of the public land sys-
tem to lands which have been entered
under the homestead law, "a long a.
the entry exists, and although a per
son NAV find q tract Of land which has
been abandoned By the person who
hOmesteaded IL. and NAV institute a
contest at q great expense to himself,
As he has to pay the expense of q hear
ing. and prove the fact Of the abandon
ment, or although he may procure the
REIMBURSEMENT Of the hOmesteader,
yet It gives him no preference right OF
entry when the existing entry il can.
celed, and II he has settled upon the
land It Is called BY the Secretary the
settlement off tresspasser, and can
give him no rights. The land Is given
to the first eettler under the pre-emp-
tien law, or to the first applicant under

The Epizootic.

The writer who has given much atten-
ton to the matter, says tt at the causes
of epizootic have a close relation to the
state and peculiarities of the atmosphere
and to the season of the year. The prev.
alence of east winds, or rapid changes in
the temperature-such as a hot, close
condition being quickly succeeded by a
cold, damp, foggy state-is almost GER
tain to be followed by the prevalence of
the ~epizootic. Additional ~predisposing
causes may be summarized as follows /:
Animals crowded together in damp, i'll
ventilated, and otherwise unhealthy sit
uations. These are generally the first to
suffer from influenza. In them it COM
mits the greatest havoc. Young horses
are more predisposed than those of ma
turer years; still the old suffer severely,
and are often carried away. Sex has nc
influence. Neglect of every description
as we'll as bad food and overwork, by de.
b~ilitating, render animals subject to Sc
we're and early attacks of the disease,
| But no amount of care will exempt them
from it, as it appears in all stables alike
Few horses suffer from more than one
attack during season; many case:
relapse, but IL attack in no degree pro
tects against another at some future pc
riDJ

Christmas.

Saturday next is Christmas, the grand
est, the greatest and hottest national
holiday that has eve been given to hui
mainly to enjoy and celebrate, and a
right "merry and happy one" do we
wish to the old and the young, the grave
and the gay-to the poor and to the af-
ficted,-to every sect and christian de-
nomination in this broad and beautiful
earth of ours. Christmas day, or the
25th of December, is celebrated as the
anniversary of the birth of Christ. AT
first it was the most movable of the
Christian festive days, often ~confounded
with the Epiphany, and celebrated by
the Eastern Churches in the months of
April and May, but in the 4th century
st. Cyril, of Jerusalem, obtained from
Pope Julius I, an order for an investiga-
ton to be made concerning the day of
Christ's birth, the result of which inqui-
ry by the theologians was an agreement
upon the 25th of December. They based
their conclusion from examination of the
Il tdlDlcS VI GlI6 CCllSOIS VI IN Clllh VI
Rome. Some of the fathers doubted the
authenticity of the proof, yet the decis-
ion vas generally acquiesced in and from
that time the 25th of December has been
celebrated throughout the world by the
Church as the day of the nativity of our
Savior. 1t has also been a common ira
dition that Christ was born in the mid
die of the night. In the Roman Catho-
lie Church, it is the custom of ushering
in Christmas day by the celebration of
three Masses, one at midnight, the second
at day-break and the third at the usual
time in the morning. This custom dates
from the 9Th century. During the mid
die Ages the day was celebrated by the
gay, fantastical spectacle of dramatic
mysteries and moralities, performed by
p~ersonages in %grotesque masks and Curl
GUS costumes. The custom of singing
canticles at Christmas, called carols,
which recalled the songs of the shep-
herds at the birth of Christ, dates from
the time when the Latin ceased to be in
common use. For several days prece-
ding Christmas, the Calabrian minstrels
descend from their mountain abodes of
Naples and Rome, to salute the shrines
of the Blessed Virgin Mother and cheer
ing her with songs until the birth time of
her infant Jesus at the approaching
Christmas. Throughout England and
the Continent, it is the custom to ring
the bells at dead midnight, and after the
solemn celebration Of tie Mass, for
which the Roman Catholic Church
throughout the world, especially in
France and Italy, are magniicently
adorned, and the services are very i'm
posing. In Protestant districts of Ger
many and the north of Europe, Christ
mas is often called "Children's Festi-
val," and Christmas eve is devoted to
giving presents, which are distributed by
means of the so-called 'Christmas tree"
