A decision OF General Land Commits
sioner Sparks, reversing a decision o
the register and receiver Of this distric
has lately been received, which is o
especial interest here, as the evidence
in the case was taken in RAPID City anC
is familiar to many people in this local
ity. Like many Of Mr.. Sparks decis
ions, it does not commend itself &c
settlers npon the public lands as wei
grounded. The parties to the contest
are named respectively Underwood and
Hudson, and the tract in dispute is
located on or near French creek. The
land was claimed by Hudson under the
timber culture act, and all the evidence
tended to show the good faith of the
claimant. Improvements Of consider.
able value were placed upon the land.
and a considerable tract was brought
under cultivation. Underwood con.
tested Oh the grounds that as there was
timber upon the land at the time OF
Hudson's filing it could not be legally
taken under the timber.culture law.
Even Underwood's witnesses would not
swear that the timber growing upon the
place at the time Hudson's claim wasfled
was of any considerable value, and upon
cross examination declined to testify
that a dozen straight logs could be cut
on the entire tract. 1t was shown con.
clusively that there was very little tim.
Der on the land, and that it was Of a
scrubby stunted growth, scarce fit ever
for tirewood. In accordance with the
evidence the register and receiver held
Hudson's filing to be good, but Mr.,
Sparks, in his superior wisdom, evi-
IDENTITY considers that a stunted box
elder or willow bush constitutes "tim
Der" within the meaning of the law
and decides the case adversely. 1t il
probable an appeal will be taken to the
secretary of the interior. If so, and the
decision of the general land commits
sioner should be sustained the fact viii
be established that a man may no.
legally file n timber claim upon land OF
which there is a bush or shrub growing

An enthusiastic New Yorker thus pre-
diets the situation 100 years hence:
There will be no letter carrier in
1886. Everything will tie reduced to u
fine system, and a letter will be deliver
ed in three seconds after its arrival in
the postofice. Each house in Il big city
will be connected with the general post
Office or branch station, as the case may
be, with a pneumatic tube large enough
to carry a good sized package. At pres
ent such a delivery would be too eX-
pensive. The tube from Twenty third
street to the Western Union building
shows how nicely ii works. A letter or
telegraph message takes just two sec
onds to 90 the two and Il half miles.
The quickest means of transit are sure to
1e adopted in the long run. 1t is the
evolution Of progress, and nothing can
stop it short of the universe. Not only
will private houses have these tubes,
but all Of our large cities will be pneu-
matically connected. Chicago Will be
perhaps ten seconds by letter from New
York, and San Francisco q minute more
or less. twill also change a great many
things, and DO away with steam ears as
IA mail carrier. The system is yet in its
infancy. The postage on letters wiil
not be one-twentieth what it is, and the
expense to the government will be less.
OF course the delivery will have to be
regulated to so many during the day
say five or ten in the morning and that
number in the afternoon and evening.
And yet human nature is s. contracted
that ever with such improved facilities
| believe many kickers could be found
who would protest against the limited
number Of deliveries Of mail and slow
time made

About two years before the war, near
pretty and substantial residence near
prosperous little town, beautiful
young lady, about Ia, was sleeping in
hammock swung flom two stately oaks
in grove. She was pretty picture OF
innocence and grace, and won the admit
ration of the passers. In meadow to
the rear, a fat, meex-eyed cow reclin-
ing In the shade, Illuminating the food
abe had gathered in the cool Of the
morning. Across the road from the
house, the girl, and the COW is
meadow, a branch running through IL,
and coming up the branch is boy with
gun. When within 100 yards Of the
girl, and about so yards of the cow,
bird few up and sailed in the air to-
ward the COW; the boy fired at the bird,
which flew on unhurt, but the COW re-
ceivsd pretty strong dose Of shot. She
Immediately arose in fright dashed
through the grove, caught the girl and
hammock on her horns, and rushed with
her shrieking victim about the lot. The
terrified girl became silent, and the
crowd of relatives and friends i'm pur-
suit thought that she was dead. The
wild fury of the COW as she rushed
around SCOT tore the netting loose, and
the girl dropped unconsciously to the
ground. She was picked up and taken
into the house, and Oh examination only
a few minor bruises were found. The
boy, thinking he had killed the
young girl, disappeared. 1t was
thought at first that he had persisted by
his own hand, but about six years after
the war travel-stained stranger was

whom had been swept away by the war.

An old man on load of wood, and in
conversation with him learned where

there, made himselI known, anu turheu
out to be the boy of the gun. The peo-
pie he found were his father and mother,
who had mourned him for dead for
eight years. The boy had been i'll South
America, got rich, and, yearning for
the love of the old folks, returned to
the desOlate home of his childhood and
made his loved ones comfortable. For
the first time, then, hearing that the
girl was uninjured, he called on her,
found her pretty, good, and first-class
home woman. He put in with will,
got her heart as his own, and the old
folks consent, and has been for the last
twelve or fourteen years one of the lead
ing men of his section. This is fact

Colonel Michael Boland, Of Kentucky
was with the guard of Sheridan in the
valley of the Shenandoah. The soldiers
in his command became engaged in q
close-quarter fight in the woods. They
ran out of ammunition, and he went
back and brought them supplies. AS
he was dealing it out the bullets were
flying uncomfortably around him. One
ball struck man named Kelly, native
of the Green Isle, just as the Colonel was
handing him some cartridges. He was
knocked scnseless, and Boland thought
he was dead. But there was something
about his appearance that made Boland
run his hand down where the bullet
had struck. The touch showed that
there was no blood flowing, and the
Colonel pursued the investigation
further. The noise made by the strik-
ing bullet was as if it had hit button.
Inside the mans breast pocket lie found
a set of three-card- monte cards. They
had the bullet imbedded in them. Kelly
began to come to, and was soon able to
sit up. The Colonel knew him to be an
old sport. He handed the man the
cards and showed him the bullet re-
marking:
''The cards have saved your life"
The Irishman looked dazedly at the
bullet for a moment, and then, as his
mind became clearer, he replied in great
excitement:
"Heaven help NE if it had been a
prayer-bcok it would have been mira
cle."
