GENTLEMEN In recent case
lClark Us. Carter, Coltax, Washing.
ton Territory the Honorable Secre.
tary of the Interior decided that an
appeal is necessary in order to
bring a contested case, involving
a timber-culture entry, decided by
the district officers, before this office
for q review Of their finding in mat
tiers of fact, and that on failure pro-
perly to file such an appeal the de-
cision of the local officers becomes
tiual, except where fraud or gross
irregularity is suggested on the face
of the papers, or where the decision
is contrary to existing laws or regu-
lations. The same rule is applicable,
also, in pre.empton aud homestead
cases.
You are, therefore, directed TO ex-
anime your dockets, and. in each case
still pending before this office, report
whether or not you notified the par
ties otyour decision therein, and that
it would become final, as indicated
above, unless appealed from within
thirty days from notice.
In all cases where you tailed to
give such notice, You will proceed at
once to do so, and, at the expiration
of the proper time, report whether
or not an appeal was taken
In all future contest cases under
the presumption, homestead, and
timber-culture laws, render your de
cision as soon as possible after the
hearing and retain the papers fol the
proper period to admit ofan appeal.
AT the end OF that time they should
be transmitted to this office with a
statement from you as to whether
the parties were properly no'lEed
and whether appeal was taken or
not.
Where jhe address OF the defend
ant is unknown notice may De seat
to the post-otrice nearest to the lana
III contest.
1t is important that your decisions
should contain distinct findings OF
the facts and of the law applicable in
each case, so that on an examination
OF the same, this office may be able
TO Judge whether correct conclusions
of law have been drawn from the
findings OF fact. 9t

A New Route to Florida.

Last summer several gentleman
interested in Florida, among them,
T. Z. G. Brinly and G. w. Lancaster,
attended meeting of the Board of
Trade OF Louisville, Kentucky, and
brought to its notice the necessity
of getting some cheap route to Flor
ida as there were numbers of Ken.
tuckians settling in this State. That
they have acted in the matter we see
by the following from the Courier
Journal.
After much effort in the way of
investigations and interviews with
the officers OF the railroads interested
the Committee on Transportation OF
the Board of Trade has the pleasure
of announcing to the merchants, man
utacturers and the public generally
that new line of communication to
all points in Florida has been inaugu-
rated. This line is via the Louis
Vile 81 Nashville Railroad TO Pensa-
cola, thence 10y fast steamer to Cedar
Keys, where it connects with the
West India Transit Railroad to Fer
nandina and Jacksonville, thus by
this road and its rail and river con.
nections enabling our shippers to
reach all points in Florida on much
more equitable basis than ever be-
fore.
This line is opened with the special
view OF diverting all the possible
trade i'll this direction that las here
toiore gone TO seaboard markets, and
doubtless rates and all needed tacili-
ties will be furnished necessary to
accomplish this object.

Frost in California.

In many parts of California the
orange trees have been entirely
killed down this season by early
frost. The same calamity occurred
last year, So that orange growers
have a gloomy prospect IN that part
of the Union. Many of those who
had entered. on that industry. there
are about abandoning it. A gentle
man from California with whom we
conversed with this week informed
us that the frost had been very de-
structive indeed, and some groves
entirely destroyed. We regret to
hear it for the people Of that State

success for the energy they have ex-

A Close Call.

When Mr.. Fowler, Colonial Score
tary of the Honduras, was exploring
the interior OF the colony, he was over
taken by drove of peccaries, and had
only time to take snap shot at the first
of them and scramble up a tree, drop
ping his rifle in the performance, be-
tore the whole pack were around his
perch, crashing their teeth at him,
granting, and sharpening their tusks
against his tree. Now, the peccary is
not only ferocious but patient, and,
rather than let an object of its anger
escape, will wait about for days, so that
the Secretary had before him only two
courses either to remain where he was
until he dropped down among the swine
from sheer exhaustion and hunger, OF
else to commit suicide at once by COM
ing down to be eaten there and then.
While he was in this dilemma, however,
a jaguar appeared. This animal has a
peculiar fondness for wild pork, and
the peccaries bolted helter-skelter. The
jaguar was after them with admirable
promptitude, and the Secretary, finding
the coast clear, made his escape.

Since 1867, no reliable map Of this State has
been published, while population, railway
postoftices and all material interests have
been multiplying in Minnesota. It is therefore
an announcement of real moment to state
that the St. Paul Book and Stationary COM
pany will, on June 1, proximo, issue to snb.
cribers only, an elegantly mounted map Of
theState, with adjancencies in Wisconsin, Dakc-
ia. etc. This map will be five by six feet in
size. upon scale of six miles to the inch,
and will he sold at the low price Of $40 each.
1t will give all railway lines built and projected
every new station and postofice, every feature
of topography, the cempletest possible view
OF the lakes and water courses-even showing
log dams-all compiled from latest surveys
and explorations, as well as from every prac.
ticable source OF local specific Information.
The map must prove of immense value, and
will unquestionably be adopted standard

and all orders and correspondence, should DC

A Dog Bathing.Master.

Our faithful friend Jet, q powerful
dog, lived with us on the Navesink
Highlands. One summer we had
bright little fellow who, although not
in the least vicious, yet had a boys pro-
pensity to destroy, and to injure, and to
inf1ict pain. Master Willie loved Jet
dearly, and yet he would persist in tor
turing the patient dog outrageously,
striking hard blows, punching with
sharp sticks, and pulling hair cruelty.
One summers afternoon Jet was lying
on the front piazza, taking nap, and
Willie came out and assaulted him with
a new carriage-whip. which had been
left in the hall. Jet knew the child
ought not to have the whip, so he went
and called the nurses attention, as he
often did when the children were get
ting into mischief or danger. But the
girl did not give heed, as she should
have done, and Willie kept on following
Jet from place to place, plying the lash
vigorously. Finding he was left to
deal with the case himself, Jet quietly
laid the young one on the floor, care
fally tooka good grip in the gathers of
his little frook, lifted him clear, and
gave him hearty, sound shaking.
Then he took up the whip, trotted up
to the barn with it, came back, stretched
himself out in the shade, and finished
his nap. The young gentleman did
not interfere with him again, and ever
afterward treated him with great con-
sideration.
Nothing delighted the dog more than
to 60 into the water with the young
folk, and to see the bathing-sults
brought out always put him il the
highest spirits. The children called
him "the boss of the bathing ground"
and SO he was, as he made all hands do
just as he pleased. He would take
them in and bring them out again. as
he thought At, and there was no use 10
resisting him, as he could master half
a-dozen at once in the water. No one
