OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
Information For The People.

Commissioner Sparks, of the Land Office, has issued the follow ing circular, approved by Secretay Lamar:
 1st. The act applies only to the States of Colorado and Nevada, and to the Territories of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana, and other mineral districts of the United States not specially provided for, and does not apply to the States of California and Oregon, nor the Territory of Hashingtcn,
 2. The land from which timber is felled or removed, under ths provisions of the act, must be known to be strictly and distinctly mineral in character, and moro valuable for mining than for tim Der or any other purpose or use.
 3. No person who is not d resi- dent citizen or a bona ide resident of the State, Territory or mineral district, shall be permitted to fell or remove timber from lands therein.

Cities.

It will hardly be thought that there are not on the whole globe fifty cities containing 2UO,OOO peo- pie; but such is the fact, and anyone
 may convince himself of It by con- sulting a geographical dictionary. It would seem at first that there must be at least 200 cities of 2OO,- 900 population; but there is not; I repeat, one fourth the number: Of these Great Britian has about nlne, France three, Italy four, Germany (proper) five or six, Chi pa some nine, India eight or nine, and the United States, according to the latest census, nine or ten. It is somewhat remarkable that a country only a hundred years old should have as many (f not more) large cities as the oldest lands; but it Is not improbable that be- fore another century We shall count as large number of cities of 200, COO inhabitants as there are now in the whole world. New Workers may look with a certain disdain upon towns of that size; but when they remember how few there are their disdain should be modified, if not converted into respect. We are all inclined to think that old and famous Capitals like Cordova, Granada, Cadlz, Florenc, Venice, Padua, Verona, Bologna, Warsaw, Cracow, Antwerp, Ghent, Rotter- terdam, Leyden, and Leipsic must be very large, though they have really no more than from 10000 to 10000 or 150,00O people each. The cities that can lay claim to 100000 population and upward are perhaps 150, and these include many of those which at first thought we should suppose con- tained two or three times the num- ber.-New York Commercial Ad- vertiser.

dian,' and the result would have been fight or a foot race. 1 did not want to argue the Indian ques- ton with him., But what did you mean," queried his good wife, ''by telling Parson Newman that there were 333 members of your church in good fellowship?" "Mary Margaret" replied the Ari- zona delegate, T am surprised at your dullness. You did not catch on to my little joke at the parsons expense. We have 325 Members of the House and eight Delegates from the Territories-they are all good fellows, and in good fellow ship with our church on Capitol hill. Now 325 Members and 8 Delegates make 333-the magical number of the prophets ard sooth- savers! While l am sorry for auy mans misfortunas. there is 8 measure of compensation in the fact that cur chaplain, Dr. Milburn Is blind, and can't mistake me for a preacher Besides, Sam Randall and Speaker Carlisle look heap more like preachers than I do. Ben Butterworth and Tom Ryan might pass for clergymen, and there is only one man in the House who looks less like a clergyman than myself, and that Is Warner of Missouri"

Tine FooI-Ki,Ier's Reverie.

I am hunting the man with the aged joke, The man with the fishing pole, The one who stops and inserts his thumb In your overcoat button-hole; The man who blows in the barrel of a gun Is suitable man for me, I seek the girl with the coal oil can And the man on the two months spree. O, show me the man with the lemon peel, Who throws it upon the pave, The man who sings the Mikado songs, And I'll place them in the grave. The dude with the tooth-pick shoes is mine, And the girl with the frightened waist, The printer who writes for his sheet all day And never falls back on paste. long for the man with the silly smile Who agrees with you every time, sigh for the bard with the swollen head Who writes idiotic rhyme; For the man who drinks till the midnigh
 hour
 And goes drunk to his lonely bed, Who wakes in the morn with purple eyo And an earthquake in his head.

Soda Lakes in WyomInx.,

The Laaame Boomerang says that If the right kind of men; with plenty of energy and abun- dant means, were to ake hold of the soda business in Wyoming Terri tory, they would find their reward. The writer affirms that in this territory, nature has done all that she could to save man trouble: Here there is no necessity for port able engines or for vats. It is not necessary to wait d year in order to gather q crop of soda. Not only have we cluster of lakes of the solid stuff within two hours drive of Laramie, and a railroad running directly to their banks from this city, but similar lakes are found in various parts of Wyoming. No pumping CT set ting is required, the soda gathers itself and solidifies like ice. All that is necessary is to dig it out with pick and shovel, haul it to the chemical works in this city. and work it up: The soda plant at Laramie has been greatly en. larged and improved during the past winter, and will now have a capacity one third greater than it was originally designed for, yet it will not handle one-third of the, yield of the lakes on the Laramie plains. Thus far only one of these lakes has been drained and worked. There are two larger lakes, either one of which would keep plant as large as that in Laramie going the year round, and ln all the supply is inexhaust ible, the deposits being constantly. built up from some underground basin; but these lakes are not so extensive as others in the territory which have not as yet been touch ed.

The propriety and good taste Of doing away with abbreviated names among women is fast grow ing into favor and the good old fashion of giving the full name is regarded as the correct and digni- fled thing. Nellie, and Mattie, and Tillie, and Maggie are again Mary, Martha, Matilda, and Margaret stately names, all of them, and full of significance, whereas their di- minutives are silly and meaning less, and women are gradually awakening to the fact that it is far more elegant to reserve these pet names, if they be used at all, for the household, and to sign them selves always in addressing those outside this little circle with the full name they received at the baptismal font. In this respect our ancestors showed a proper amount of dignity, and it would be we'll now if the old form of ad- dressing women as Mistress Ann Page, Mistress Catherine Smith, etc, were revived. The present custom of retaining the maiden name as middle name after mar riage and the use of the husbands Christian name by widows are both sensible, as they identify the individual with a certain family.

D. c. Sellick on his way home from Tucson, was attacked and chased by four Indians on the plain nine miles south of Willow Springs. When first seen, Mr. Sellick says, they were leveling their guns for action, but being we'll mounted he turned and fled rapidly, the Indians closely pursu- ing. This goes to confirm the statement of old man Ellsworth that a gang of ten hostiles passed bis ranch below Old Camp Grant, heading westward.

There is so little demand now for the famous Sea Island cotton of South Carolina that few plan ters have sold their last years crop. It was formerly used to adalterate silk, but the demand has ceased without any apparent reason, except that by means of improved machinery ordinary cot ton may be used for thread and other purposes as well as the long staple.
