AMENDING T8K PBKR0PTIoN
AND MONEaTRAD LAWS.

The Committee on Public Lands have re.
ported the bill relative TO the repeal Of the
pre~mption laws and amending the home
stead act. II states that the pre-smpsion Law
and amendment were ensctsd for the pur-
pose Of reserving the public domain 70 the
occupation OF actual settlers. but the subse-
auent passage of the homestead act made
the former Of little use; that in many Sec
lions Of the country the evasion Of the Law
has become regularly organized business,
and Offices have been opened for the express
purpose Of prs-enpting and selling lands To-
Gated under the presumption law. Thee To-
cations in many cases are fraudulent, ~ the
parties have never made the Improvements
required, end have seldom gone upon the
land claimed. After setting forth the evils
resulting from such practice, the COMMITTEES
recommend the repeal Of the pre-emptioD
law, and in order to give effectiveness to il
and to prevent the CONTAMINATION OF the
same class of frauds under the homestead
act, the extension Of the time TO thirty
months in which homestead claimants can
consummste payment. The question Of the
repeal Of the pre-emption Law and amend.
ment Of the homestead act lie no, new one,
but has been repeatedly urged BY the Com
missioner Of the General Land Ofice, and
Congress is earnestly recommended to carry

The subjsc; Of entertaining and wholesome
reading for the family circle is one Of 'prsc-
teal interest in every household. II cannot
be denied that the tendency Of the American
press is in TOO large degree toward sensa-
tioualism, and in some instances even the
sen iments Of purity and sacredners prove
an insufficient barrier against The all-per-
vading desire OF being novel and startling in
the presentation of news. The exceptions TO
this common rule among the metropolitan
journals of the day are 30 few as to be wor-
thy Of notice when encountered. The Chi
c.so Weekly News lie one Of the few papers
Of which it may be strictly said that nothing
Objectionable to pure thought and morality
ever appears in Its columns. 1t is an enter

The Kinsley Republican-Grsphic says:
With the exception Of . lev facts that have

ton last Saturday. ~e can say nothing more
than We have already stated concerning the
bank robbery. From the evidence given BY
L. G. Boiss, at the examination, We learn
that the stolen money hiss all bees returned
to the bank, excepting about tour hundred
dollars, which, it seems. the person who was
instrumental ir returning the funds cannot

Mr.. Bois. stated that on Wednesday Mr..
Crawford informed him that . portion OF
the none. could be found lying on the desk
in the Trsasurer's Office on the night OF that
day, and upon inve.iigstion was found there.
On Thursday Mr.. Crawford again informed
Mr.. Boies that the balance OF the money
would be placed at point where he could
not miss finding it, On Mr.. Boies' return
home from the bank Thursday night he
found the money tied up in bag lying in
the path leading to his house. Mr.. CraS.
ford, it appears from the teslimony given.
was alone instrumental in the return Of the
money, but how be came to know just exac-
tly where il vas still remains . mystery.
The case vas tried before Justices Carter
and McCanse, with County Attorney Near.
thur and Taylor Flick for the State. and j..
C. Ellis for the defense. The evidence given
was sufficient to bind the defendant over for
trial, and the bond fixed at $500 for his ap-
pearance At the next term of the conrt which
convenes next March. The very minute
sum which the bond called for was ea-ily
gotten, and the def ndaut Sei ., liberty.

A Modern Delilall.

A resident of Pawtucket has two
daughters, who are very lively young
women and wide-awake to all that is
passing in the world. One of the daugh,
tiers is a school-teacher, and as is proven
bal among that class of people, is fond
of seeing things "about right" A few
days ago she discovered that the gray
locks of her father required the good
offices of the hair-cutter. Like dutiful
daughter, she called his attention to the
fact, but he was not so particular as to
his personal appearance as she, and SO
neglected to visit the barber. For sew
eral days she continued to urge him to
get his hair cut, but her entreaties pro-
duced no effect But she was not to be
foiled. Those locks must be shorn. A
few days ago the old gentleman lay down
on the sofa to take an after-dinner nap,
his Samsonian locks flowing over the
pillow. Delilah aud her scissors were
ready, and she proceeded in the most ar
tlstic manner to decorate his hair with
bangs, scallops, water-waves and all the
modern arrangements of the scalp. When
the old gentleman awoke some remarks
were offered, and then he took his hat
and went to the barber s.-Provideaca

The " Trading" Rat.

An animal whose instinct teaches it to
give quad pro gao should be capable of a
business education. The last candidate
weshould select for such schooling is the
thievish rat; but now we learn that there
are rudiments of honesty and fair-deal-
ing in one species of even that animal.
A curious statement is made about the
trading rat, which is one of the UNIQUE
and interesting animals met with In the
Rocky Mountains. The miners of the
region declare that although these rats
enter houses, camps and mines and
take things that do not belong to them,
they never take an article without leav-
ing something in its place. They con-
duct trade, and hence their name.
They enter dwellings at night and
steal anything they can find, carrying
away spoons, knives and forks, but in
variably leaving chip. stick or stone in
place of each article taken away.
The miners look upon the uncanny
dealings of these precocious animals
with superstition almost amounting to
awe, and cell many wonderful stories OF
their faesse, and the length to which
they carry their depredations, but the
predominant quality with which they in
vest them is the faculty of trading or ct.
changing alluded to

tiations for the Russian war indemnity.
M. de Novikoff, the Russian Ambassa-
dor, becoming tired of being put of
from day to day, and of having every
concession on his part answered by a
new demand on behalf of Turkey, fixed
day for his departure. When he re-
newed his demand for an official of thc
Russian Bank to be attached to the Otto
man Bank to insure the payment of the
indemnity his Excellency was informed
that nothing could be done until new
Foreign Secretary was appointed. The
new Foreign Secretary. when he is in
stalled, will, of course, require time to
study the matter, and SO in one way and
another time is gained and the dreaded
day of payment is deferred. = Constaati-
