WORKS BOTH WAYS.

Strictness in the construction OF laws
and department regulations c~oncerningthe
public lands sometimes operates to the
detrimcnt of the government a we'll as to
the inconvenience Of the settler. In des-
ert entries, for instance, it is held that
before making final proof water must be
conducted on each legal subdivision of the
land sought to be entered. If this cannot
be done, which often happens on account
Of the situAtion OF one or more Of the for
ties, the subdivisions left unreclaimed may
be relinquished. The entryman loses the
twenty five cents per acre he has paid at
the time Of filing his declaration, and the
government loses the %Ier~nning dollar,
payable when the-GuM proof is accepted.
But it IA reasonable to suppose hat the
purchaser OF the neutrality-suspicious. of
the surrounding land, will have the use of
the relinquished subdivision quite as fully
as if he had purchased tiff it can be
made of any use. and the government has
lost the opportunity to dispose of land for
which it will never find another purchaser.
Neither party to the transaction gains by
the enforcement of the rule, and both are
losers, the government to a greater extent
than the purchaser. Here is an instance
of a rule operating to the injury of all
concerned. The reverse Of the old pro-
verb does not hold, for not every rule that
works both ways is necessarily good.

Prince Wilhelm, sub-crown prince Of
Prussia, takes q personal interest In the
moral culture of his brigade, and often
visits the regimental schools of his garri-
son own He is fond of cross examina
tions, and after impressing his Pommer-
anians with the dire disadvantages of H.
literacy, he turned upon IN able-bodied
%cuirassier, who at once arose in anticipa-
ton OF n question. Schmidt, let me know
what you consider the noblest OF all inven-
tons" Sausage" replied the private
without a moments hesitation. But the
sergeant OF the day as promptly explained
that Private Schmidt's remark probably
referred to the erbswurst, an attractive,
though sausage-shaped compound of
bacon and pounded peas. which an ingen-
ious provision dealer patented in the crisis
Of the Franco-Prussian war, and which
the Prussian troops o came to consider
the most sublime invention Of the age

AFTER 4 WINTER.

And Summer is seeking the swift-fown
Spring,
After the blossoms are blown on the
And famed all day by the bees light

What shall we do with the love that we
played at
Under the tremor Of ballroom light,
When you. in your satin and pearls mr.
rayed, at
VIII reigned supreme, the queen of the
night,
Where shall we bury it, now that it's
endedf
A seasons too long for "A love play to
live
A love that l knew well you never in
tended
A single wild throb of perfection to
Oh, you and I may but trine with pas
sion,
And sip not a taste Of its keen, strong
wine:
/ may but dream hat / mold and fash
Your heart to beat with a love like
mine.
Love that is more than n sweet hours
dreaming
Oweth no place in a world like ours,
Where there is only a wan, cold seeming,
Shamed by the warm, true blush of the
flowers.
And yeti love thee, as well thou know

Although thy love was Winters play;
And my heart is with thee, wherever thou
goest,
Fen to the far dusk ends OF the day.

N LAW.

The current number Of tho Century con-
tains an able and veil considered article
on Civil Liberty ed EqiAl Rights" in
which the proper fahetion Of labor organ
nations in their relation to law and order
receives thoughtful treatment. After
unstinted condemnation Of the p~rofessed
anarchists. who have injected themselves
into a country whose institutions abhor
them and are abhorent to them" the
writer continues:
I'VE have prided ourselves on the tact
that our society Vas mainly composed Of
workinamen; and the great mass of our
workingmen have an American horror Of
the coward who stabs in the back or
throws dynamite. But there are profess
sional ~agitators, who are ig~norantly incit-
ing ~workingmen to acts which differ only
in degree from those Of the anarchists;
and some of their disciples. having no
better instruction than the agitators are ia
the habit of furnishing, are inclined to
apologize for or defend acts committed in
the name of labor which they would con-
denim at once ifa protested anarchist were
the doer. They should learn the meaning
Of civil liberty, that it is the measure Of
natural freedom which society consider
to be consistent with the equal freedom Of
others.
THE courts are open for all; the lawt
may be altered peaceably. If laws art
bad, if rich oppressors exist, powerful
labor organizations are Just the elemeu,
needed to reform the one and to prosecute
the other. But let the work be done
decently and in order. without infringing
the recognized and equal civil liberty o.
others. Above all. let the organizations
impress upon their members, as the very
first lesson, that violent resistance to So
ciety can only be Of evil omen for these
organizations, for society itself, and fol-
civil liberty"

Justice In the South Carolina swamps.
The story was brought to the city the
other day by a traveller from the lower
part of the state of a remarkable "decis-
ion" OF a tide-water coroner's jury in a
recent case. The local justice was sum-
moned in hot haste to organize a jury OF
inquest in the case Of Jupiter Horlbeck, a
colored man, who had attempted 20 ride
across a marsh and who fell from his mule
and was drowned. In the pockets of the
decedent was found an extremely antique
type of revolver, rusty, hammerless, and
altogether harmless. The jury Of inquest
was composed of old rice-feld hands, who
sat upon the body, figuratively speaking,
for six hours. AS is usual, the jury couldn't
agree, and finally compromised on the fol
lowing verdict:

The national Pride Of France.

1t appears that, as soon as Lesseps OBJ
tuined the necessary concessions from
Ismail Pasha. khedive of Egypt, he issued
the prospectus of the Suez Canal COM
pnny, and invited subscriptions to the
stock. The very mex morning an old
F~renchman, evidently a well-to-do re-
tired bourgeois from the provinces came
into the Office and said he wanted to see
NJ. de Lesseps. This gentleman being
forthcoming the countryman addressed
him rs follows:
an. de Lesseps, I heal that you are
going to build a railway on the island of
Sweden, and | want to subscribe money
to it.n
"But, my friend" said Lesseps, you are
entirely mistaken. l am not going to
build a railway but a canal, and it is not on
an island, but through an isthmus, and it
is not in Sweden Zen Suede) but at Suez-"
