Inssmuch as the sheep industry in Ne

largest owners OF bands on the Coast are
In this State, we produce the following sta.
t%istics, which are CLEANED from the Boston
Journal OF Commerce:
The year of 1885 witnessed a cousidera.
BILE falling off in the number and value OF
sheep in she United States. In the first re-
spect. sheep furnish an exception to other
live stock which have increased In some in
stances to 25 per cent. In the second re-
spect there has been q general depreciation,
the greatest being that In swine, and the
next in sheep. In the latter the decline
has been ii per cent, or from an average
OF 81 IA per head to one Of 81 81 per head.
The aggregate value of live stock is reck-
oned for last January at So, 1865 ,159, S95, be-
ing a decrease from the figures Of the pre-
vious year of $9l, 266, 121. In this aggre-
gate the value Of sheep is placed at 1884,

growing States. Texas suffered more
than any OF the others in loss OF numbers,
it being at least 10 per cent, as compared
with the year previous. The States be-
tween the Mississippi and the Ohio lost
considerably, Illinois being the greatest
sufferer. Ohio and Michigan fell only 8
to 4 per cent under last year. The pres
ent number OF sheep in the United States
Is reckoned at 4s. 1925, 1871 by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. with an average

A Land Office Ruling.

The United States Land Offices through
out the country have of late years had
much trouble in dealing with the testi-
mony taken in making final proof on pre-.
emption. etc.. because of the fact that No
taries Public, Deputy County Clerks and
Justices Of the Peace we're allowed TO take
it. The following order from Commits
sioner Sparks. received at the Land Office
the other day, ~inaugurates q much needed
reform:
Hereafter tho following rules will be
observed in making final proof for pre-
emption and committed homestead cases
II. TIL entire final proof. including
the inal affidavit Of the claimant. his ties.
timony. and the testimony of his wit
nesses, shall be taken before the officer
designated in the published notice of in-
tention to make final proof, and at the
time therein named.
90. Such final proof shall be taken only
before the following officers: The Register
or Receiver Of the proper land district, or
the Clerk Of the County Court, or Of any
court OF record Of the county or State, or
district and Territory. in which the land is
situated. or before such Clerk in some ad-
jacent county, in case the land lies in an
uDorganiZed county.

mitigation Of this circular. shall be in no

Sacredness of the Mails,

An interesting story comes to the Post
Office Department from North Platte, Neb.
One of four accessories to a number near
hat place a year ago, has turned States
evidence. Two of the accomplices have
been arrested by the police. The fourth,
Eugene Myers, is still at liberty. The
Postmaster OF North Platte has been re-
quested by the Sheriff and the Foreman OF
the Grand Jury to detsin the letters pass
ing through the Office to and from the
Myers family, believing that Eugene's wife
knows where he is and is writing to him.
They desire TO open the letters and, after
reading them, send them to their destina-
ton. The Postmaster asks the Depart
ment whether he is authorized to do this.
The Department calls attention to the rul-
ing OF the Department, that under no pre-.
text are letters to be opened except by the
persons 20 whom they are sent, il they
can be found. Neither Postmasters.
inspectors. employees. nor officers of the
law can do so under any circumstances,
but they must deliver them as addressed
Some other means. the Department off
cials say. must be devised to ascertain
Myers whereabouts.

A BOom-Quien Snbe ?

Says the San Francisco Post of Satur.
day: No settlement OF the difference be-
tween the rival railroad companies has yet
been made, though it is probable that
they will soon arrive at an agreement. 1t
lie generally expected. however. that after
peace has been declared the rates, al
though greatly advanced upon those now
ruling. will permanently remain lower
than the old figures. Whatever temporary
loss the war has inflicted upon the roads,
and whatever perturbations business may
have suffered, both the roads and business
community are certain to profit in the
future by the conflict. California has
been given a magnificent advertisement.
The advent of the great army OF Eastern
visitors will result in a substantial gain in
population and wealth. We shall be dis
appointed If this rate war does not mark
the beginning Of the boom for which Cali
fornia has been waiting 90 long.

An Insane Chinaman.

Cortez has an insane Chinaman. For
many years all the heather employed in
that section were procured by him, he re.
ceiving their wages from their direct EN-
ployers and supplying them with pro-
visions, clothing, ETC.. and all the cash
they received would be paid by him. His
insanity is said to be caused by quitting
the use of opium. He is said to be rather
wealthy, and his countrymen and there
are quite a number OF them In

selling, this is a big price; about what is
paid in Chicago. In the agreement. Delmoi
