The Victoria Advocate, in quoting the let
ter OF District Attorney A. !. Evans, published
in the LIGHT few days ago, regarding post
roads and United States mail routes, says /:
"The position taken by Mr.. Evans that any
road the people use, or a COW trail, or even
path over the prairie, becomes a postal
road, as soon as the United States carries a
mail along it and, therefore, public road,
even If the County court has never declared it
apuble highway, is probably strained con-
struetion OF the postal law. If he be correct,
citizens are liable by the act of an official
located at Washington and acting simply in
clerical capacity. to be put to great expense
whenever the poslofice department deter
mines upon increasing mail facilities in the
districts included in the pasture system Of this
vicinity As the Postmaster General has no
Judicial powers, he can have no judicial duty
to perform, which would be the case II the
doctrine of appropriating at will sufficient land
for mail routes along obscure COW trails and
unirequented paths across prairies is correct,
as claimed by Mr.. Evans. His position is
based upon the doctrine Of eminent domain
with the fatal defect of failing to note that
properly can not be taken for public use
without compensation, the adjustment OF
which is Judicial act and therefore outside
the power OF the Postmaster General. As the
question involved is Of interest to pasture
owners, it is to be hoped that the matter will
finally hnd its way into the courts for an
authoritative adjudication"

THE following account is given of the
"Blsck Flags" who are now giving the
French so much trouble in Tonquin "When
the Tapping rebellion was crushed, after ex-
tending across China to within sight Of the
capital, those Of the rebels in the Chinese
province Of Kwangoi were, in 1865, expelled
thence and driven across the border into Ton
quin. Their fighting force at this time was
about 5000. In ronquin they found secure
refuge in the mountains, which make down
into the plain on either side Of the Song Koi
river, where, despite their expulsion from their
native country, they show a disposition to act
in disobedlence to the Chinese authorities.
The Anamese troops sent against the inter
lopers were repeatedly defeated, and by 1868
they had possession of the entire right bank of
the Song Koi, above Hanoi. With the aid
of the Chinese Viceroy they were aiterward
expelled from the low lying country and con-
hued to the upper course OF the river. About
the same time they were weakened by division.
Those in favor OF an adventurous life retained
The Black Flag as their ensign; the rest,
anxious for the safety OF their families, and
willing to come to terms with the authorities,
both Of Anam and China, adopted The yell
low Flag as their token. Those under the
Black Flag were the worst characters, being
dangerous marauders. Their leader, Lin
Youen Fon, had gained himself name in
Kwangoi as freebooter before the settlement
in Tonuuin."

are said to be just as easily proved as any

doubt, that it was a town before that time,
and it may have been a town even hundreds
