A Warming to Investors in Government
Lands.

One day last week deed was brought to the
Recorders Office here to be recorded, which
was executed in 1860. During all these years
TIE holder has ha record title to his farm.
and, had the original owner been so disposed,
could have sold it again, and had the second
purchaser recorded his deed he would have
held the legal title. There are thousands OF
like instances in this and o.her States. Every
, holder of deed of real estate should make
sure that it is on record. In the United States
Land Office here are nearly $4,000 Govern
mental patents of land. which should be In
possession of the owners of the land, and on
record in the proper county. Some of the en-
tries which they represent are thirty and forty
years old. 1t is not generally known, or this
would not be the case; the holder of this land
has no evidence of title to his land whatever,
and should he die no conveyance could be
made, and there would be trouble in settling
the estate All he holds is the certificate
OF purchase from the Register and Receiver
of the Land Office, VIII CHI, if he will read, only
shows that he has paid SO much money for a
certain quantity of land-a simple receipt for
money. 1t gives no title, and guarantees
nothing. If he has sold the land on the bass
OF such certificate he has done w thout legal
right or title. 1t is well-known that in the
rush for Government land twenty-five years
ago mistakes were liable to occur, and did oc-
eur. In many instances, certificates and
pdteutS were uupllcdtSu. III several luStdI1SeS
when parties received their patents it de-
scr bed an entirely different tract of land from
the certificate. In one instance Nerson, who,
after waiting many years, came here to get
his patent or deed, found 1t was for a tract diff
ferent from that described in his certificate.
He had sold the land and given warranty
deed. The land scrbed in the patent had
already been taken by another purchaser who
received certificate for the same land,
had got his patent, and sold it again. The first
purchaser having discoy cred the conflicting
title, sought to correct it, when he discovered
his stake, and that certificate of purchase
was not a deed by large ma ority. 1t cost
him good sum of money to settle with his
grantee. Probably 10000 holders of Govern
ment land in this State are in the same fix, and
it is only by surrendering their certificates at
the land office that errors, if any exist can be
corrected. This is true of all purchases of
Government land in any State. And here
arises another difficulty. If the original pur-
chaser has died, and it is discovered that a
wrong tract has been decided or patented a
new patent Or deed can not issue, for lana can
not be conveyed to a dead man. Hence, every
holder of Government land, whether the orig
inal purchaser or not, should know that the
Government patent is of record. Land sharks
exist everywhere, and they will cause trouble
when least expected. -Des Moi1les (Id.) Special

The Current Of Rivers.

A very slight declivity suf1ices to give
the running motion to water. Three
inches per mile in smooth, straight
channel gives a velocity of about three
miles an hour. The Ganges, which

Mountains. the loftie>t in the world, is
at 100 miles from its mouth only 30Ofee
above the level of the sea, and to fall
800 feet in it's long course the water re-
quires more than month. The great
kiver Magdalena, in South America,
running for 1000 miles between two
ridges OF the Andes, falls only 500 feet
in all that distance. Above the distance
of /. 900 miles it is seen descending in
rapids and cataracts from the mount

hard, and contains carbonic acid or car

Royalty and FreemasOnry.

! 1t is we'll known that Frederick the Great
was warm friend OF the order. of Free
Masons and himself one of it's members. In
proof thereof there exists a letter of his, just
now unearthed by German newspapers,
which he wrote on February 7, ITS, to
two Dominican and Capuchin priests of AK
la -Chapelle, who had melted the mob against
the Masonic lodge then re-established in
that city. In the letter he said:
Various reports confirmed by the public
papers, have informed me with what zeal
you, very reverend fathers, forge the sword
of fanatic.sm against the peaceable, virtuous
and estimable people called Free Masons.
AS former dignitary of that order [ must
as far as lies in my power, repel the calumny
which attacks it, and lift the dark veil COW
ering the temple we have erected to every
virtue, and which you consider the resort of
every vice. What, my very reverend fathers,
would you recall those centuries of ignor-
ance and fanaticism which so long disgraced
human reason? y = x You
not only call the Masons sorcerers, but you
accuse them of being rogues, precursors of
the Anti-C Christ, and you exhOrt an entire
people to exterminate the accursed blood
Rogues, my very reverend fathers, do not
like ourselves make it a duty to assist the
poor and the orphaned. ROgues, on the con-
trary, rob them and fatten on their prey in
idleness and hypocricy."
AS a companion picture of the foregoing,
the following will be of interest to the craft:
The Crown Prince of Germany is an earnest
Freemason, and recently delivered an address
before the Royal York Lopge in Berlin,
which caused a great sensation and drew
forth much comment. The burden of his
remarks was that Freemasons should be
more progressive, and that instead of cling
ing to old traditions, whose only Importance
is their antiquity, they should distinguish
themselves by being in the foremost rank of
seekers after new and living truths.
