The great Robert Houdln went by royal
command TO Saint Oiond to give a show
before Louis Philippe and his family. In
the course Of tins sho he borrowed Six
handkcrchiefs from the audience. Then
various members OF the audience wrote
down on slips OF paper the name of places
whittier they would like the handk erchets
to be transported. This done, the coniu.
rer asked the hing to choosc three of these
slips at random, and from the three to
select the place he preferred. "Come,"
said LOUIS Philippe, "let us see what ls on
this Slip" ! should like them TO be found
under one OF the candlcsticks on the man.

Whnt ls too far, not for the handkcr-
chiefs, but for us. Ahl you will, fear,
find 1t difficult TO comply with the request
on the last slip" The request WAS that
the handkcrcnicfs should be found in the
box OF the last orange tree on the right
hand OF the avenue at st. Cloud.
The conjurcr expressed his readiness to
| comply with the request, and the King
| Immediately sent off party Of men to
| keep guard over the orange tree. The
con jurer put the handlserchicfs under q
he'll of thick glass. waved his wand took
| up the bell, and showed a white dove in
place of The handkcrchicfs. Then tho
King, with skep,ical smile, sent orders
TO the head gardener to open the box Of
The orange tree chosen, and to bring what
ever he might find there. 'Si toutefois IL
y trouvc quelQue chose" This was done,
and presently there was brought IN an iron
Golfer covered with rust. SWELL" cried
tho King, "herc we have Golfer. Are the
handltcrchlefs in NJ" "Yes, sire," replied
Robert Houdin, 'they have been there a
long time" "a long time, when 1t was

impossible feats2 Your Majesty would be
surprised when provo to you that the
Golfer and its contents have been IN the
box Of the orange tree for sixty years.
| The King now observed that key was
needed to open tho box, and Robert
Houdin asked him to take the key which
was hung by ribbon round tho white
dove's neck This was key as rusty as
the Golfer, which 1T opened, and the fret

kerchiefs, has been placed amid the roots
Of an orange tree by mo, BaIsamo, Count

In deciding q contested land case
between man named McInncs and
another man named Strevell, the
Secretary of the Interior makes the
following definition Of the word
"settlemcnt" as used in the pre-
emption act;
Residence is not essential to a pre-
emption settlement. a settler is
one who does some act on the land
indicative Of an intention 10 claim
the benefits Of the law. Although
the erection Of house and residence
thereon may manifest such pur-
pose, in connection with either acts,
yet there may be valid settlement
without residence. TO fell trees, to
pillow or fence the land, or lay the
foundation for Il house, or do any
other act which clearly manitcsts a
purpose to convert the land into a
home, will, if followed by residence,
give the prc-emptor right which
relates back to his first act. No
definite time within which residence
must commence is fixed by law.
1t must, however, be within such
rcasona bic time as to manifest n pur-
pose TO comply with the require
ments of the law, and to retain and
not abandon the tract. In such
cases ms right will not be forfeited.
Although Strevell did not commence
his residence until after the date OF
McInnes' alleged settlement, he had
done acts which constituted him Il
settler under the law, and he pro-
ceeded with such reasonable dill
gence TO follow up his settlement by
Improvement and subsequent resi-
dence, as to. refute any inference Ct
his bad faith or of an intention to
abandon the tract. He who was the
prior settler, and he who is such,
ard not he who is the resident, has
the better prescription claim.

the march OF progress, furnishing its read
els with every item OF interest to the sec
ton of country in which it is published,
and making an honest endeaYor to merit
the good Will and patronage of the peo
pie. The ENTERPRISE commenced Its
career under a cloud of adverse cIrcums
stances, and has struggled On (as has the
settler upon homestead claim to comply
with the demands OF the public, and
make final proof" that it has been and
is faithful exponent of the interests OF
the people whom it has striven to serve.
The ENTERPRISE will, in the future rs

things within its power to aid in the de-
velopment of the lower Sound country.

Alaska is the land toward which

Alaska is the land toward which
western miners, in search for new
and profitable diggings, are setting
their faces this spring, and move
ment has begun which promises to
Become stampede during the next
few weeks. A dispatch to the CHS
cago Times from Deadwood, ID. T.,
sts tos that party of twenty left
there on the LIST of April, and com>
prises some of the oldest and best
IN ners of the gulch, who are thor
oughly equipped. That the fever is
rife is demonstrated by the fact that
pool of $4,000 was raised in one
day to defray. the expenses of the
party. Rich diggings have recently
been discovered on the head waters
of the Yukon river, and Alaska will
receive thorough exploration this
summer. AS soon as the country is
released from the icy embrace OF
winter, the adventurous miners and
prospectors will strike. Decline tor
the new country. Rock of almost
fabulous wealth is exhibited in SIN
Francisco, coming from Alaska, and
stories are told of lodges one hun-
dred feet wide full of free gold.
Who knows but Humboldt's proph-
ecy, that in the north the great
matrix of gold is TO be found, may
be verified this year? Certain it Is
that the mines of Siberia have yield
ed an average of S22,OO0,0O0 per

their product is greater now than
