bill has been introduced in both houses OF Con-
SreSs Ito amend the laws relating TO land titles in
the Dis trict OF Columbia" We learn that this bill,
In its substantial features, has been approved and
urged By the Commissioners and some OF the lead
ing judges Of the District OF vital interest to our
people. There are hundreds OF lots that cannot be
bought or SOLD from defective titles and. as con-
sequence, are not improved, and the taxes are not
paid Many or them are held by tax titles,
abandoned years ago as OF no value. and the titles
cannot be perfected, as the heirs of the original
owners cannot be found There tSgreat need OF q
revision OF our land title laws; no opposes It,
and IT is hoped Congress will give attention to this
bill at the present session.

The strong point in favor Of the democratic pro-
tectonsts is that they represent the party in the
doubtful states To elect democratic president
II Is necessary for that party to carry some at least
OF the group consisting OF New York, Ohio, New
Jersey, PENNSYLVANIA. Connecticut and California,
and these states furnished Randall thirty-six OF
his forty-one democratic votes. On the other hand.

That the sturdy hero has rendered most important

his services have been munincently recognized,
both In honors conferred and in more substantial

There was exhibited at the late Me-

of an Elephant, made up entirely from
the celebrated ''Linene" Reversible
Collars and Cuffs. 1t proved to be q
great attraction. The shape WAS good.
The body, legs and trunk being covered
with Cuffs buttoned together, the tusks
and tail were made from Collars. Many
Praises were given to the constructor,
Mr.. Snow; and sundry comments made,
such as "Cute, ain'tIt:" "Well buttoned
up;" 'Nice trunk he's got;" "Going to
New Orleans. 1 guess" ''Just look at
his tail, declare it's buttoned on"
"Thats funny enough" &c. &c. See

Low Prices for Butter.

The New York Tribune in Its market
report, explained why some butter Is
sold for such low prices. In speaking OF
butter it said; Light colored goods
are very hard to dispose of and several
lots were thought well sold at 8 to 10
cents" If butter makers would get the
Top price, they should use the Improved
Butter Color, made by Wells. Rich
ardson & Co., Burlington. VT. 1t gives
pure dandelion color and never turns
red. or rancid, but tends to improve
and preserve the butter.
