The late Hobart Pasha's recently
published book of "reminiscences gives u
curious account of the trade of block
ade-running during the American war.
Hobart's first personal venture consisted
chiefly of corsets and Cookies pills. A
thousand pairs of stays were readily
sold at profit of l, 100 per cent. but in
spite of his eloquent recommendations
of their virtues, the crosses of pill
boxes were left upon his hands, while
sundry parcels Of th-brushes were
an absolute drug. He carried the
Cookies" back to Nassau, where he
swopped them for chests of lucifer
matches, which went off we'll at Will
mington on his next cruise. And he
sent a heavy order to England for coffin
screws, which seem to have fetched
fancy pricesi in the South in those days
of sad mortality.

GREELEY, Colorado, December O.
Probably the largest land sale ever made in
Colorado was completed here yesterday
The stockholders of the Platte and Beaver
Land and improvement Company have held
a meeting for several days, the result of
which has been this sale. The lands of this
company are situated in the vicinity of
Brush Station, on the Burlington Il Mis-
souri, road, in this county, and comprise
about j., 900 acres of choice land all under
ditch.
Heretofore the lands have been held by
the Company as corporate body, but for
some reason the returns from the sale and
rental of lands were not what some of the
members expected, and, consequently. con-
siderable dissatisfaction had arisen. At
sale, and committee was appointed to
classify the lands and put a minimum price
on the different classes. 1t was the privi-
lege of every stakeholder to simply
take the amount OF his stock
in land, or to buy more or to sell out
entirely. We understand that several of the
Company sold out altogether and others
bought quite heavily. A new company will
be formed to operate the ditch.
The principal question before the meeting,
and the one which excited discussion, was
the classification of the lands, and it was
generally agreed that it was better to have
distribution and let every fellow ''r,istle
| for himself"
| A number of prominent business men of
| Denver were members of the company,
among them being Governor B. II. Eaton,
Mr.. Fletcher of the Denver National Bank,
Mr.. Cooper of the German National Bank,
A. u. Solomon and Hon. Willard Teller.
These parties were all represented at the
meeting, either in person or by proxy.
| This is a fine tract of land and the bidding
for portions of it was quite spirited, some
portions of it selling as high as $12 per acre.
Over $3.50 900 worth Of-the lands were sold.
The heaviest purchaser was Hon. j. l..
Brush.

From Tobacco.

1t is said that when a cigarmaker
gets right malicious and desires to do
his employer great damage he gets to
a single hair from his head in each ci-
gar. This trick is exceedingly difficult
to detect, and will destroy the flavor of
every cigar it is applied to, with far
reaching injury to the reputation of the
brand.

LANDS ON THE TAX LIST.

LANDS ON THE TAX LIST
New entries of real estate in Mobiles
county have been made on the assess
ment lists of 1856 rs follows: Railroad
lands sold, 80, ~ 81 acres; state school
lands, 8 1897 .C7 acres; final entries. U.
s. land, 6, G,2O6.27 acres. Total, II ,336.7S
acres.-Advance.
New entries in Watonwan county
are: Railroad lands. 33,343 acres; state
lands, 9.47S acres; final entries, gov
ernment land. ,344 acres. Total. A.
165 acres. The figures given do not
include the recent sales of railroad
lands yet to lie listed for taxation,
which will swell the total to about
$4,000 acres.-St. James Journal.
This shows that Mobiles and Waton-
wan are pretty even in the number of
acres listed since the last round of the
assessors, with Mobiles little ahead.
In this county as in Watorwan, the
figures do not include the recent sales
of railroad land. about 20 600 acres,
which would raise ours to over g. 600
rs against Watonwan's $4,000. These
figures all 60 to show the rapid pro-
gress of the Blue Grass Region and
the rapid settlement of the question Of
how to tax the railroad lands.
NEWSPAPER DECISIONS.
Several persons have asked us re-
Gently concerning the laws relating to
newspaper subscriptions, etc. Below
we give the main decisions:
l. Any person who takes newspa-
per regularly from the postotlice,
whether directed to his name or an.
others, or whether lie has subscribed
or not, is responsible for the payment.
.. If Il person orders his paper dis
continued, he must pay all arrearages,
or the publisher may continue to send
it until payment is made, and collect
the whole whether the paper is taken
from the office or not.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take newspapers and periodi-
Gals from the postotlice. or removing
and leaving them uncalled for, is pri-
ma faci;. Of intentional, fraud.
1t will he seen from these decisions
that taking paper from the postotfice
makes the party responsible for pay
ment 40 matter whether he subscribed
or not. Also that refusing to take
papers from the office or removing
without paying UP is a fraud, and
criminal action can be brought.

The main building OF the Lathrop
