Register AMI Receiver, HALEY, Idaho:
GHNTLEMEN:--I am in recent Of
your letter of July z, 1883, in which
you state that numerous contests will
doubtless arise in relation to the des.
ert character Of land ). in your district.
You ask whether "valley land, which
produces sufficient wild grass for hay.
and where small streams traverse the
i Iand fed BY numerous springs, and
where rivers cross certain tracts
through one corner Of the entire tract.
can be considered desert land within
the meaning Of the act"
You state that you can not deter.
mine whether the land will produce
agricultural crops" without irripa-
ton for the reas that the same has
never been cultivated.
l" reply you are informed that
the term agricultural crop" NAV
mean grass as we'll as grain, and TINT
land which, in its natural state. pro-
duces grass suitable and profitable for
hay is not subject to entry as "descrt
la"d.' Very respectfully,
n. G. MCFARLAND,
Commissioner.

Common sense is making Roadway
against the strange popular prejudice
against ~tish-eating that exists among
certain classes in England. The fact is,
that an altogether false standard of
comfort has been set up in this country.

sldered a benefit, unless it means the in

at the Broad street station in Philadel.
phia for Wilmington, for which he paid
the usual fare of IS cents. At the time
he Informed the agent that he wished

ness took another train for this city. -
He handed the conductor his ticket, and
WAS informed that it was not good "

ductor OF the first train. Forty seven
cents additional fare was demanded,
which Mr.. Gallagher refused to pay,
and the train was stopped at Linwood
and he was put off.
He bought ticket at that place and
took the next train for this city, but
was informed by the conductor of that
train, whom he told of the occurrence,
that such cases as his frequently hap
pened. After consideration Mr.. Gall&-
ger resolved to bring a suit for dam

hands OF Charles Is. Lore, Esq. Suit
was entered, but a compromise has now
been effected, on terms proposed by
George Gray, ESD, the attorney for the

Church Work at Bl0c X bird.

A correspondent of the REPUBLICAN,
from Blackbird writes as follows:
The Rev. Mr.. Oliver, Of the Wyoming
Conference of the M. + Church, has
been visiting his friend, Rev. ID. II.
Waddell, OF Black bird, the past week.
The Rev. DR.. Oliver preached on Sab
bath twice, in the morning at Union
church, and in the afternoon at Friend
ship, to large and attentive congrega-
lions.
The sermon was model for arrange
ment and diciion In the forenoon. His
arguments were clear, pointed and full
of force. The sermon in the afternoon
was stirring and eloquent. The people
were delighted with the preaching at
both places.
At the close of the service in the
afternoon the Doctor sang and played
on the organ piece of music, "on the
immortality of the SOUL" which drew
tears to the eye of many of the congre-
CATION. The people will welcome the
Reverend gentleman in their midst
whenever he may see proper to visit
them again.
The pastor of this charge IS doing a
good work here The congregations
are large There is a decided advance
all along the lines of church work.
There are good signs of sweeping revi-
walls in this charge this fall.
