An Honest Official.

An Arkansaw coroner found a
drunken man, and, thinking that he
had subject, summoned jury. Just
before verdict of 'cause of death un-
known" was rendered, the man got
up, busted his hat and asked:
'Have any of you men seen any
thing of Ted BryantP"
The coroner was disgusted. "This
is pretty time to talk such nonsense, -"
said he. "You were dead Il while ago,
and now, sir, such an action on your
part tending to cheat an honest official
out of a few hard-earned dollars won t
be tolerated by this community"
at was not my fault, cap'n."
"Yes it was your fault. You could
have kept still until this business was
over, and still there would have been
plenty of time to ask about your ac-
quaintances. You've knocked us out
of about fifteen dollars"
I'm sorry cap'n. Say will you set
up the drinks if | tumble over now
and let the good work 90 on?'
'Yes, We'll give you a quart"
The man laid down and the verdict
was rendered, not according to the facts
in the case, but in compliance with a
pressure of circumstances. AS rule,
the Arkansaw coroner is an honest
man.-Ar6dnSdlO IrdUeler.

ihcations due to the climate and the
character of the climate to be accom-
modated. The roofs of the cars are
low, flat, and dingy. In the first-class
cars there are caned seats, which are
said to be very comfortable. My own
experience does not substantiate this
claim, but then the natives say they
have lived here the longest and ought
to know best what is comfortable in
this climate; so supposed my senses
deceived me. The second-class cars
are grade worse, and the third-class
cars have wooden seats without backs,
and windows without glass.
Yet it is in the third-class coaches
that you get best glimpses into real
Cuban life.
You see the negroes and the China
men, and the poor Cubans and the
Spanish soldiers all mingling on a
common level. You see every peas

chickens away under the seat; and

railroad there is machine in the for
ward end of each coach displaying n

some of our railroads thus announced
to the eye as well as to the ear the

agine some way would be found in our
country of having the moving wheels
of the car operate the machine instead
of sapping the life-blood of the tired

Hon. O. B. Steele, Auditor Of
Public Accounts, has prepared the
following important circular to Tax
Collectors:
.AuD1ToR's OFFicE, !,
Baton Rouge, Jan. 9th, 1884. !
To Tax Collectors
Under Section 81 of Act A Of Sc
cond extra session of 1881, tax col
lectors are required to keep q IL
cense register, in which they shall
enter the names of every person or
association Of persons who are LA
BILE to license tax, giving class,
amount Of license and date of pay,
ment, and on the 31st day Of De-
cember- Of each year, forward to
This Office a certified transcript Of
the said license register.
The failure to keep such register
renders it impossible to know xhe
are delinquents and thereby results
in serious loss to the State.
Tax Collectors are prohibited
from issuing a receipt in lieu Of the
license form sent out from this
Office. a
Tax Collectors should at once
proceed with the collection Of TIC
license tax and within the frst
quarter collect the entire ANNUAL
license tax, or on the first day Of
April hand q list Of the delinquent,
license payers to the authorized
attorney, who is required to pro. !
coed Immediately to collect the
same. The failure Of collectors to
comply with the law renders Them
liable for said unpaid tux. Here,
tofore many Collectors have within
tho first quarter paid into the State
treasury but small per cent from,
this source-they must not expect
any such indulgence in the future.
Many Parish Treasurers hase
failed to render promptly to this
Office the quarterly report required
by Section 81 Of Act So Of 1882, .
for the reason that the Collectors {
fail to make the entries in their
cash book, as required by Law, at
the time the tax payers make the
payment Of taxes.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION,

From Mr.. Keplinger we learn that
the L. 5. Supreme Court has recently
rendered decision which very mater
Tally effects large body of land that
has been in dispute in Allen county.
In suit between the l.. l.. & G.. and
some other railroad few years ago, in
the L. S. Circuit Court, it was held
that the provisional withdrawal of
land under the act of 1862. prior to
definite location, was by competent
authority and operated to withhold
lands inside the indemnity limits from
the operation of subsequent grants.
The I. 5. Supreme Court.has reversed
this decision of the Circuit Court hold
ing that until after definite location
the land department has no power to
in any manner intermeddle with lands
outside the ten mile limit and that for
that reason the provisional Withdraw
al under the act of 1863, made prior to
definite location of the l.. l.. & G..
lands,were wholly imperative and did
not Withdraw the indemnity lands
from within the operation of subse-
quent grants.
Mr.. keplinger says that the decis-
ion is regarded by all the attorneys in
terested in our League suits as decid-
eddy favorable to the railroads. 1t cer-
tainly knocks the underpinning out of
one of the main arguments heretofore
advanced against the validity of the
NJ. X. & L. title to the even sections
within the indemnity limits. 1t has
always been argued by the Leaguers
that those sections having once been
withdrawn in favor of the A. Il. & S.
+. road could not be granted to any
other road. This decision is directly
on that point and is squarely against
such view.
