Land Decskt"n.

Washington, Elm the case OF
Ranchael Alsisal, where the pro-
cesdings were pending in theUnited
states district court for con6rma-
ton or correction of a survey, at
the date of the passage Of the act
Of July 1st, 1864, the secretary of
the interior has decided that the
jurisdiction of 2 court is attached /,
notwithstanding the fact that prior
to that time the matter had been
misstated and improperly brought
into court under the erroneous con-
struction Of the act of June Il, 1860.
The word pending" used without
qualification, means actual pen
dency," without reference to the
question. of whether or not an
objection might be raised to the
original jurisdiction in the case,
consequently the approval Of the
survey by the court n 1865
was final, and nothing remains for
the commissioner of the general
land Office, but to issue a patent 10
conformity to the decree. The ree-
rotary further decides that the DE-
cree of the court of the United
States upon a proceeding substan-
TALLY ia rem, where the United
States was a party, is concjusiv
upon the subject matter; unless re-
versed upon appeal in judicial tri-
bunals; and that the executive
branch of government has 90 au-
thority TO review it or set it aside;
and that when such decision has
been rendered upon survey under
the acts of 1860 and 1864, and been
it is necessarily final and
must be followed by issue Of pat
ent. In the case which called forth
this, the commissioner Of the gen
eral land Office decides that, mas
MICH as the case was not properly
before the court, it was not "pend-
ing" in the sense of the word as
used in the act of June 14th, 1860.
This decision reversed the commits
ruling, and confirms to the
parties in whose favor it was de-
cided.

THE DESERT LAND ACT.
And RRrxent's Connection
With 10.

New York, "a correspondence
| the Commercial Advertiser has been
hunting up the record of Sargent.
with regard to the scheme To reclaim
desert lands, and says that after
careful examination he finds that
Sargent was not the author of the
Dill, but Luttrell. who introduced il
on December 18th. 1875. The bill
was referred to the House commit
tee on public lands, and on the 10Th
OF December, 1876, the committee,
through Lane, of Oregon, reported
back a substitute for the original
bill, the bill passed the House and
went to the Senate, was referred to
the public lands committee, and
after conSlderatl, Il it was reported
back favorably by Senator
Booth, not Sargent, ACCOMPANIED
by a suggestion in which it is said
the committee believed that when
the lands are irrigated they will be
Of sufficient value TO enable the
purchaser 10 pay government prices
charged for other public land. The
c0mmlsslI n recommended the bill
with more confidence than they
would be willing to express if its
principles were entirely new. The
records show that when the bill was
under discussion in the Senate Sar-
gent thought its provisions too
sweeping and broad, and proposed
amendments TO guard the interests
of the government. He was in
strumental in having the bill
amended by adding a provisiO that
no person shall be permitted 70 en-
ter more than one tract of land. and
not to exceed $40 acres, VIII CHI snail
be in compact form. 1t will thus
be seen that Sargent's connection
with the bill was such as 10
merit praise, not censure. 1t
has been alleged that great
frauds were perpetrated under
the bill, but if this is SO it rs some
what singular that Schurz, who, as
secretary Of the interior, was re-
sponsible for the execution OF the
provisions of the bill, did not. in
some one of his four annual re-
ports, recommend its appeal. or
suggest an amendment CT modifca-
ton in the slightest degree. If
there were violations of law it would
not be the fault of the law, but Of
those officials falling to properly ex-
ecute it. Sargent's connection with
the passage Of the bill was etirely
creditable to him, and the attempt
to blacken his character on account
Of it, causes much indignation
among mem bers- Of the California
delegation, some of whom have not
been friendly TO Sargent in the
past. One of the members of the
delegation, in talking about the
desert land bill, stated that there
was not q Californian in Congress
who would risk his reputation by
offering to repeal the bill because 1t
has been found to work to great
advantage in their state, as well as
In some Of the territories included
in its provisions. AS to the bill be-
ing good one, the California dele
CATION are a unit. They do not
think it right that Sargent should
be attacked for the Shortcomings of
officers of the interior department
in not executing its provisions pIo-
pe1ly.

Education in Vermont.

Schools are managed in Vermont, says a letter writer, on basis even more 1n- tensely local than the towns are. Each town is divided into from six to sixteen school districts, small enough so that all children can easily reach a schoolhouse. Each district votes its own taxes, builds its own schoolhouse, hires its own teach CT, and regulates its own term of school, the only comprllsion being that school shall be taught six months in the year. Women may vote in the school meetings, but they almost universally ignore that privilege.
 The poorer districts have no more school than the. law requires-a summer term for the little children, and winter term for all who can get through the snowdrifts. The three Rs and geography are taught-arithmet and spelling with especial attention but not more than half the teachers comprehend geography in anything but an artificial sense, and they teach it ineficiently. Wealthiel districts have eight or nine months school, and populous ones employ two ol even three teachers in the winter. IT such cases a rough attempt is made te grade the pupils, those in the higher de- partment being instructed in the mys teries of English grammar, United States history, bookkeeping, algebra, and per haps rhetoric.
 | I have seen in these schools astronomy geometry, physics, English literature and Latin. In addition to these tht State is dotted over with academies normal schools, and seminaries, where young men are fitted for college anc young women for teaching. These art private schools more or less heavily en dowed, where board and tuition ar' charged.
 The larger villages maintain graded public schools, which do the work of tn academies for the children of the vii lages.

The End of a Duelist.

The Comte de Larilliere, one of the well-born among the breHeurs, met one day in the street @ business man named Castera walking with his young and pret- ty wife. He advanced to him and said, with polite bow, '" I beg your pardon, but have made bet with my friend here, whom I beg to introduce to you, that would kiss your wife while she was walking with you ''-here the other man turned ivid-" after having given you slap in the face.'
 Castera fought him next day with pistols. The Counts first shot hit Castera on the right ear, his second on the left. Before the third he said, Cette .fois .je ferai naowch, and with the third he shot Castera through the eye. Castera was avenged ill manner dramatic enough. One night, as Laril- Here sat in his favorite seat in Q cafe, while masked ball was going on hard by, stranger in domino and mask came up to him, overturned his glass of punch, and ordered glass of orgeat in- stead. Larilliere, for the first time in his life, turned pale, and~>eried You scoundrel; you don't know who l am. :" "Oh, yes," the stranger replied, "I know who you are quite well, :" and with the words forced him down into the chair from which he had risen. The orgeat was brought, and the stranger, holding pistol to Larilliere's head said:
 "Unless you drink this off shall blow your brains out on the spot; if you do drink it off I will do you the honor of fighting you tomorrow "With the sabre," cried Larilliere, who had lately been practicing with that arm. "How you hke," said the stranger. Then as Larilliere drank off the orgeat, he added: ''I have humbled you enough tonight. I put off killing you till tomorrow. The morrow came, the adversaries met, and Larilliere found that he had met his match. The stranger left him not moments breathing space; but never followed up 1 his attacks until at last Larilliere cried in solently: "When are you going to kill me ?" "Now," said the stranger, for the first time using his sabre like a dueling sword, and lunging straight through Lar illieres heart Masses were said in the churches of Bordeaux for this man, who kept his name secret, and who had rid the town of its scourge.-Ihe Saturday ReUieoO.

A North Carolina Horse.

One very important industry of More head City, N. O., says a local core spondent, is the raising of "ma'sh tackles" The marsh tackle is shaggy pony hardly larger than the Shetland, of light build and hardy. He lives in the water and will not eat corn or hay. He is brought up on the marsh grass, which he eats between tides. They cost liter ally nothing, breeding in droves as wild horses. Each drove has its leader, who selects the eating grounds and decides when the tides are going out or coming ill. Once every year the owners have what is called a ''pony penning." All the ponies along the coast, running into the thousands, are driven ill by boats and either branded or sold. They bring from $s15 to $50 apiece, and it is tribute to their utter wildness that 8 "broke" pony, that is, one that can be ridden or driven, is called ''trained tackie," and brings $7O.
 They are in great demand in the mid dle part of the State, eating little and doing heap of work. They run down to skin and bone before they learn to eat corn or hay, but then fatten rapidly and lose the ugly reddish color the salt water gives them. There are men who buy them in large numbers, train them to the mountains, and get fancy prices for them. As I write there is Grove of tackles marching in slow and sedate pro- cession against the horizon. The leader, bearing his responsibility with dignity, picks his way carefully, and his com pany follow with a blind sense of confi- dence. The water as it splashes about their legs glistens like showered silver, and their red sides shine against the sun like bronze. On they go, as birds beat homeward in the twilight, growing smaller and more indistinct as they plod their steady way. At last they are but specks above the water, moving dumb and patient to some well-desired goal.

LOVE AND PRIDE.

Love and went wandering Thro' pleasant places; Life was so sweet-my life was in its spring Soft winds blew iii our faces;
 My name is Pride. Love softly whispered, ''I will be the guide ; "Not so, laughed, in gay disdain,
 "For Love is blind And on we wandered, thro' the summer weather,
 careless feet, Unheeding all the glory, only feeling Life is sweet
 Love and together. Hope sang for us, and we were glad and gay; But I was guide, and so we lost our way. We come to desert places, dark and dreary, All pleasant sights and sounds are gone; And Love, sweet Love- sinks down aweary- But press on. And all around me is the desert waste. And l, alone, in agony of dread and fear, There is no light, no way, no one to comfort my distress, And, even now, my naughty words sound on my ear. Yet even here, borne to me on the desert wind scent the fragrance of the flowers l crushed beneath my feet And left, unheedii 5, far behind. An, me their perfume is so rich, so sweet! And cry out with sudden bitter pain, "Oh, take me back. Let me but wander mic the flowers again stSweet Love, De thou the guide p "Alas cannot now" is Loves reply

Reduction of Letter Postage.

Are you in favor of reducing the rate of postage on letters from 3 cents to 2 cents ?' asked correspondent of the Second Assistant Postmaster General Elmer:
 "Most emphatically yes,' was the re- ply. 'I believe the time has come when it can be done without 8 jar to the system or danger that it will seriously cripple the postal revenues. Some people say that letter possage is cheap enough now, and that the surplus revenues, if any, should be devoted to giving them in- creased facilities. That is a mistaken notion; so far as postal facilities are con- cerned, there is hardly reasonable ground for complaint, I think. Letter postage is certainly too high when it is greater than necessary. I should not expect any serious diminution of the revenues as result of decrease of the letter rate to 2,cents. The volume of correspondence would undoubtedly be swelled by such a reduction, and besides thousands of business men who now use printed circulars very extensively under the 1 cent rate rather than pay cents would be willing to pay 2 cents for the privilege of sending under seal circular letters parta1ing somewhat of the nature of individual correspondence A reduc- tion of one-third in the stamp tax for carrying letters would be 8 benefit to all the people and would not be seriously felt by the National Treasury. It would be popular act as well as one of wise policy.

Taxation in Vermont.

Vermont is about to take @ new depart ure in taxation by assessing upon corpo- rations within her borders the entire amount required to pay the expenses of the State Government. Railroads are to be taxed at the rate of two per cent. on earnings on two thousand dollars per mile of road, or on earnings of less than that sum; three per cent. on three thousand dollars; four per cent. on four thousand dollars, and five per cent. on five thou sand dollars and over. Insurance con- panies will be taxed two per cent. per annum on the gross amount of premiums and assessments collected within the State, and one half of one per cent. on all surplus over the legal reserve. Savings banks and trust companies will be re- quired to pay one and one half per cent. on the average amount of deposits and ac- cumulations. Express, telegraph, and telephone companies will be assessed three per cent. on their gross receipts, and steamboat, car, and transportation companies two per cent. of their gross re. ceipts It is estimated that the annual amount thus raised will equal $25O, ,OOO
 which will be amply sufficient to pay al
 tho current expenses of the State.

"' Nearly $s1, 7OO,' I whistle to myself


 and six days yet to canvass.'
 "I become desperate The strikers are more numerous; and conceding that the race is likely to prove close one, l hesitate to make single enemy, and for fear of losing what I have already spent, together with having my ambition for fame dashed to the ground, bleed like stuck pig. The ballots are sent to the headquarters of the district in small bags. Should the printer not make an error, by failing to bunch mine with the rest, draw sigh of relief, and escaping this danger, consider it an omen of vic tory. Before daybreak the ballot-boxes line the sidewalks ill the vicinity of the polls. I am as happy and contented as boy with red-top boots. I read with pleasure, mingled with little streak of egotism, my name on the large muslin posters. From poll to poll I walk, always seeking information on the condition of affairs from the representatives of my party.
 "While chuckling over the splendid outlook, my eye rests upon the form of the President of the Hickory Club, who is guarding the ballot-box of my oppo- nent. An angry scene follows. I am reminded of the injury to my chances @ street brawl will occasion. I feel the logic and walk away, after impressing the Hiekoryite' that when the polls close his friends will find it necessary to gather up his remains on shovel.
 "Well, the terrible threat does not in the least disconcert the Hickoryites. The fight is over, the polls close and the watchers are at their stations. At eight o'clock the vote for Assembly is can- vassed, and I find that I am beaten by over thousand majority. I seek the repose of home, and the only stimulant to encourage me is the hope of getting square on my false friends. Had won it wouldn't have struck me until the con- gratulations of associates became stale that the race has cost me over $2, 0O0."
