The General Land Office has not, as yet,
received any information as to the details
Of the proposed gigantic land frauds in
California, but the reports Of thirty spec
tal agents which Congress enabled the de-
partment to put in the field this summer,
show that a great many frauds, large and
small, in different parts of the country,
nave been prevented. The frauds consisted

The Customs Collector at Philadelphia
has apprised shipmasters that France has
declared the Gulf of Tonquin under sur;
veillauce, and that any attempt to land
arms or munitions at Auam would be
treated as blockade running, the vessels
confiscated and the crews treated as prisi
oners of war. There are signs that media
tion Of England will eventually be invoked
in the Frauco-C Chinese imbroglio, but no apj
peal for American mediation is deemed
probable. The Chinese army is concen.
trated at Pel,in and only awaits news OF
the arrival of French reinforcements at
Port Said to invade Tonquin.

Made a KleptOmaniac by Pistol Ball,

! Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky,
tells of a young man who was wounded
in the head by a pistol ball After he
had apparently recovered he robbed a
store OF lot of stuff that was of no
value to him, loaded it into a wagon
and hauled it into the woods, where he
concealed the whole property. Hewas
sent to the penitentiary He served his
time out, and. going home, broke into
the same store, taking the same class Of
goods, which he loaded into the buggy
he had run off with before and con-
cealed the things in the place he had
selected on the occasion of his first of
fense. Once more he was sent to the
penitentiary, and had nearly completed
his second term, when the prison doc
tor gave it as his opinion that the bullet
which had struck the youngman' head
indented the skull sufficiently TO press on
the brain, and that this was the reason
that he committed the bTglaries. So
the prisoner was sent home. He lost no
time in loading up the old buggy again,
precisely as before, and was returned
20 the penitentiary. Il then said that

if it killed him, says the Governor,
who is a physician, "and did it success
fully. Then IpardOned the young man.
He behaved himself like a perfect gem

Florida OmciaIs Charged with Neglect OF
Her SUFFERING Citizens

A Washington dispatch of the 10Th says
great indignation is felt at the Navy De-
partment at the course pursued by the
State authorities of Florida in not paying
any attention to the necessity or caring
for the destitute ON the Reservation of Pen
sacola, even when appealed to by the Naval
authorities. Commodore English says in
regard to the matter that the absolute in
difference of the State authorities is almost
lack of humanity, when it is considered
residents of the reserve are in no way con-
nected with the Navy, but should be the
especial care of the State, which, if unwil-
ling or unable to prevent their starvation,
could at least help them by an appeal for
public assistance. He says that publica-
tions intimating lack of humanity on the
part of the Navy Department are entirely
Incalled for. The Department called the
attention of the State officials to the con-
dition of affairs, and when no action was
taken by them, authorized the distribution
Of rations from Government supplies.
