rH' co4Alss!oNER's DECISION REVERSED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE theory held
BY Mr.. Sparks that absence from o claim
in pursuit of a livelihood was an absense
that seriously i~mpusned, if not entirely in
validated the good faith Of the residence
required on the land, has been badly Grip
pied by a decision Of the secretary of the
interior to-day in the case Of Josephine A.
Camp. The secretary had already dam
aged the said theory by light attacks upon
its s~oupdness in past decisions bnt to-day's
case called for / straightforward ruling,
and the secretary did not hesitate. Mrs.
Camp, who is 6fty-seven years of age, flied
in april, 1884, . presumption entry upon
the northeast quarter section 10, township
l6ti, range "a, Devils Lake, Oak. land office.
She built a substantial house, spent nearly
$500 in improvements, and broke and put
in crop about fifteen acres. That same
year she wcht to. Devils Lake. and worked
three months in the land office, after which
she returned to her claim and made further
Improvements on it. The commissioner OF
the general land Office held her claim for
cancsllation on the ground OF this same db
enc ii Dee4siilis LAKE,. In reversing sparks
decision, Tie secretary says:
Good faith in maintaining q residence
being shown in other things, absence from
the land fpr the purpose Of gaining q liveli.
hood cannot invalidate or effect such resi-
dence. This woman was trying to secure
Tor herself a home in her oldags, aud every
step she had taken in her entry showed
good FIFTH in carrying out the provisions o,
the law. Hence her absence for the simple
purpose Of earning her living could not be
urged against the entry. 4

LANDING OF THE RILGRM
FATHERS.

The breaking waves dashed high
On u stern and r%ock-boupd coast,
And the woods against a stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed.
And the heavy night, hung dark.
Tho hills aud waters DER,
When a band of exiies moorel their bark
On the wild Now England shore.
Not IS the conquerer comes,
They, the t~rue-hearted, came;
Not with the roll Of the stirring drums.
And the trumpet that sing, Of fame,
Not as the flying come
In silence and in fear
They shook the depths of tho desert gloom
With their hymns Of lofty cheer,
Amidst the storm they sang,
And the stars heard, and the ses; [rthl
And the sounding aisles of the dim weed'
To the anthem Of the free.
The ocean eagle SCARED H..
From his nest by the white waves foam;
And tho rocking pines Of the forest reared
This was their welcome home

There were men with hoary hair
Amidst that pilgrim band: - .-..-.
Why had they come to wither there,
Away from their childshood's landf
There was q woman's fearless eyo,
Lit by her deep loves truth; - :
There was manhood's brow sersnely high,
And the fiery heart Of youth. =
What sought they thus afar?
Bright jewels Of the mine?
The wealth Of sess, the spoils Of war7-

Window gardening is attended

which is over-heating, dryness, dust
and insects. The temperature should
not exceed seventy degrees, if it can be

upon stove is as beneficial to plant

Among railway nuisances the per.
son who brings all his or her baggage
into the car, depositing the same upon
the floor, the seats and in the aisles,
must rank as one of the greatest. The
experienced traveller need not be re.
minded how often bulky valise or a
huge handbook is installed upon seat
by the side of passenger, and made
to represent fictitious parsonage Just
at present absent from the seat he has
taken, and thus secure for the aforesaid
passenger the room designated for two

breeding, and especially women, re-
verse the back of the seat in front of
the one they have taken, and heap the
whole seating space, except that Occu-
pied by their persons, with bundles and
packages and luggage of almost every
form of name, is well understood by

Indifference, while men and women are
standing about the passageways or
vainly striving to find a place of rest
for bodies aching after hours of shop

train, furnishes good ground for per-

parcels may be widely scattered, if not
pitched out of the window altogether.
In the economy of railroad manage

vided for by the rules of the lines, but
the cases are seldom wherein con-

Dr.. kimbali, Director Of the Mint, stated,
in relation to the present great demand for
pennies and tive-cent pieces, that the coin
age Of pieces Of these denominations is cN-
cc,!ted at the Philadelphia Mint, but was
suspended on February IL, 1855, by order
OF Secretary McCulloch. On the ground
that the amount outstanding was rcdun-
dant. In September last an unprecedented
demand arose for these coins, which soon
exhausted the $50, 900 worth which had
been transferred from the sub-treasuries TO
the Mint at Philadelphia for cleaning and
reissue Since that time the work Of
striking new pieces has gone on without
interruption TO the full capacity Of the
mint, over and above the mandatory coin
age OF the silver dollar. and in order to in
crease the output OF minor coins, the Phil
a,lelphia Nint'S quota of silver dollars has
been reduced, and the quota at San Fran
cisco and New Orleans increased
The circulation of pennies is confined 10
localities where odd change is eNacted by
way of street railway fares, ETC., and espe-
c;aily by the extraordinary increase of late,
not only in the large cities, but in towns
aud villages of shops whose policy it IS TO
fix prices at odd amounts-that is to say,
Il. prices hot corresponding to dcnomina-
tons OF subsidiary coin. Another eccen-
tricity in the use of pennies in such stores
is the preference given TO coin fresh from
the mint, the use of which in change is
supposed to be pleasing to customers.
The director is now endeavoring to ascer-
tain the total active circulation Of pennies
and five-ccnt pieces. and estimates that not
less than $7,000,000 worth are now in
active circulation in the United States.
The mint at Philadelphia is now turning
out minor coin to the value of $1,000 a
day. The demand for these coins is to-day
some scot, 900 ahead of the supply. This
amount will soon be made up and the pub
iic w,nt will be fully met
