CAMP SHIELDS, Dec. II.
Deer seem to be quite scarce this win
ter, and hunters numerous.
Ed and Fred Hodgkinson are erecting
a winter residence on the corner Of
Market and Broad streets.
Messrs. toderick and Ogle have fin
ished their block, and Mr.. W. N. Hodg-
kinson has completed his dwelling, which
is the "tonicst' one in town. It has two
windows and Il board floor in it.
There was quite an excitement III town
the other day, caused in the first place by
the haying of hounds in the distance, and
they seemed to be coming straight for
camp. Ed Hodgkinson and myself were
the first to take in the situation. and
picking up our rifles, started to meet the
hounds. We had hardly gone hundred
yards, however, when we came face to
face with Il large buck. AS we were all
going it on the "doublc-quick, Ed and
myself could hardly get into position be-
fore the buck saw what was going on,
and beat hasty retreat but we succeed
ed in firing three shots apiece before he
got out of sight After seeing the last
wave of his flag we turned toward camp,
when we met Messrs. w. N. Hodgkinson,

and anxiety for d piece of venison.
Messrs. Ogle and Rodcrick followed th"
trail, and discovered-a few drops of
blood; but the deer hurried along by
the dogs, proved to be little too smart
for them. and the last they heard was the
hounds baying dying away in the dis
tancc up the river. No venison steak
for supper that evening. FLYING SHOT.

Tax-Salo Law In Iowa,

Des Moines Letter: Iowa readers are
surprised at the doctrine held by the courts
OF Minnesota in a recent tax sale case--a
doctrine in contravention of every principle
OF equity and justice, and of good law. Had
your court followed the custom OF accepting
and sustaining precedents, the Iowa court
could have furnished them ahundantly for
81 direct contrary doctrine. In case pre-
ciscly similar to that in your Minnesota
court, the Iowa supreme court held that a
sale OF land for taxes was void. In anoth-
er case where the county treasurer omitted
to mark paid" against land On which the
tax was paid and it was sold for taxes, the
court held the county was liable to the pur-
chaser at the tax sale for the pur-
chase money, and costs. and this sale
WAS void. and this on tho principle that
the treasurer is the agent OF the county.
And further, where the error OF the treas
urer had not been discovered until q tax
deed had been issnsl. the court he Id the
treasurer and his sureties are liable for all
damages to the purchaser. Under, the To-
wa statute, the purchaser at a tax sale IL
given certificate Of purchase only which
he holds three years and ninety days.
Before the expiration of the certificate, no.
tice must be served ON the owner OF the
land that his land has been sbld for taxes,
giving the amo unit due. and that his right
OF redemption will expire in ninety days.
II no redemption is made, then and not
till then, a deed is given the purchaser.
The Iowa courts even deny the right of
county treasurer to purchase land directly
or Indirectly at d tax sale.

Care Of Hanging Plants.

Most plants in baskets or hanging
pots are unsatisfactory. This is not
the fault Of the plant, but OF the
grower, in most cases. Hanging plants
are usually less convenient to get at
than those growing in pots on plant
stand, and because of this they are
pretty sure to suffer from neglect.
They. seldom get water enough. A
pot that is hung up dries out much
sooner than one occupying g. lower
position because it is in a warmer
stratum of atmosphere, andis expos
ed on all sides, and generally it is
small, and the earth in small pots al
ways dries out rapidly Hanging
plants should be watered daily through
the greater part of the season In
the heat of the summer they generally
need an application night and morn
ing, but they do not often get it. A
step-ladder should be kept convenient
ly near at hand, and by means OF this
it is easy to get at Elephants. A large
sponge, filled with water, can be plac-
ed On the surface of the soil. It is very
easy to re-saturate this when the
moisture has been absorbed from it..
Occasionally the plants should be
taken down and cleaned by dipping
them into tub or pail OF water.
When we'll grown, hanging plants are
very ornamental es -..-

The Interstate Railway Question.

ASAU AAUoA-SINt0 'ASSAA""y NuSetAVus
Senator Cullom, of Ill.,. is in Washington
and says that he has his report upon in
terstate commerce pretty well along, and
viii hayeit completed before the meeting
OF the senate. o., s,. .,s
1T will" said he, ''be the m ost elaborate
and important document that was ever
submitted upon this subject, as it will re
view the history Of the transportation ques-
ton ia the United Statessxnnd show the
growth OF our railroad System and it's
development One chapter will be devoted
to the discussion OF the relations of the
states and federal authorities to the rail
ways, and the power OF congress to legis.
late IN regard to interstate commerce. In
this branch OF the report will be included
aau OF the decrees OF the state, district and
circuit courts and the supreme court
OF the United States relating to Interstate
commerce, and the authority ofcongress to
regulate it. Much attention will also be given
to description OF thcvarious systems OF the
state railway control and the operation OF
railroad legislation in this and other coun-
tries, a stud OF which brings them to the con-
cluslon that congress OF only has the power
to regulate Interstate commerce but must
necessarily do so in order to prevent dis
elimination because of the lack OF uniform
ity in state legislation on this subject. The
report will also declare that it is in the
power OF congress to pass q law for the reg
ulation OF interstate commerce without
providing the special means for settlement
OR arbitration OF disputes that are constant
ly arising under it, and ia see to the enforce
ment OF it's provisions"
Senator Cuilo,n therefore recommends
the appointment of a committee OF five, to
have in charge the entire railway system,
with much wider powers than are now ex-
ercised by the present railway commission
ers. The committee consists of Cullom,
Miller OF New York, Platte of Connecticut,
German Of Maryland. and Harris OF Ten

Cheap Land in Southern States.

Cheap land is in the Southern States,
which are all large and sparsely set
tied. The soil is generally rich and fer
tile naturally, and the unclearel forest
lands, especially in the mountain
region, are the richest in the Union.
The climate in the mountain region,
which includes West Virginia. West
North Carolina and Georgia and East
Tennessee, IS exceedingly pleasant and
healthful; the baronetric pressure is
from two to four inches less than at
sea level, the elevation being 1900 to
4,OOOfeet Adore the sea; the alt is pure
and bracing, and the water is cold and
pure; the low latitude causes mild win
tiers, snow and ice being rareley seen
and lasting only a. few days at the
longest, and the elevation secures q
cool Summer temperature. The nights
are cool and mosquitoes are nowhere
found. Land in this regioncan be pro-
cured for ST.. SO an acre from IL to 20
miles from railroads, and for SIS to
$40 near them. The latter prices pre-
vail generally all over the South ex-
cepting in few localities, as in West
Virginia and parts of Tennessee which
are thickly settled, where farms are
worth 500 All acre down to $40 or
$50 for second rate ones.
