LAND OFFICE CIRCULAR.

A circular of instructions dated May Sd,
from the department ut Washington to
local land Offices has this Information:
The law (Act OF March 3, 1877, Is stat
403,) provides that homestead final proof
''nisy be made before the judge or in his
absence before the clerk of any court Of
record of the county, etc.
There is therefore no authority for
naming the clerk OF q court IN such
cases as the person before whom the party
intends to make the final proof, because
that officer has no legal authority to take
the testimony unless the Judge be absent.
The notices of intention in all such
cases should state that the proof will
be made "before the judge, or in his alb
sence beynrs the clerk" naming the court.
The names of judge and clerk need not be
given in the notice.
In commuted homestead and pre-
emption proof the wording Of the notice
that proof will be made before the judge
of the district court, or in his absence be-
fore the clerk of said court is incorrect, as
commuted homestead and preenptIon
proofs cannot be made before the judga OF
the district court. 1t is only final five
year homestead proofs that can be made
before such officer under existing law.

PROPRIETARY MEDIcINEa


A visit to DIR. Green's Laboratory, at
Woodbury.. New Jersey, has considerably
changed onr views, and especially our
prejudices in regard to what are generally
known as STANDARD Patent Medicines. "
OF course We are getting to that age in
life when we are forced to conclude life
itself is humbug, and naturally distrust
anything that has not withstood long and
tried experiences. Being a physician
had the curiosity to know how such "a sale
of two medical preparations conid be sus
tanned for SO many years. The perfect
system upon which the business is con.
Quoted, and the pharmaceutical arrange
cipes with which we were made acquainted
are sufficiently convincing to us that the
August Flower, for Dyspepsia, and Liver
complaints. and Boschee's German Syrup
for throat and lung troubles were for the
complaints recommended, most excellen,
remedies, aGi only regret that in much oi
cur practice, medical ethics prevent us
from prescribing them without making
the formulas public. When We were
shown the great quantity of voluntary
letters having been forwarded Mr.. Green
from all parts of the country and from all
classes of people with testimonials oi
their cures, I feel like endorsing DR.
Green's suggestion that the government
accept such valuable formulas, and license
them for general use 10y giving protection

undertakes the assertion that the two

The Republican party Is-like all other
political parties-composed Of human be-

years ago next fall they erred in selecting
man for the Office Of sheriff who was dis
tasteful TO the party as whole and Dem
ocrat who at that time was wholly un-
known, received few hundred Repabli-

despoilins the Z. l.. platform of its gaudy
plumage ana glIttering generalities, he
turned to the party Of progress. intelli-
gence and grand record and showed brief
ly. a multitude of substantial reasons why
the Republican party was the only true
and tried friend OF the nation. Mr.. King
then advanced to the front and was greet
ed with burst Of applause. Hepractical.
ly admitted the charge made by his OPP
ponent, that the Union Labor party was
simply the old greenback party in new
guise, and then went or in a Jesse Harper
sort of style by evading the general ques.
ton and Turing attention therefrom by one
or two witty anecdotes, which he told in
his own inimitable way and secured
round or two Of applause. He expended
a good deal of valuable time IN giving the
history of the old wild cat banks that
neither party Is now interested in and
then got out his blackboard which had an
example In arithmetic worked out on one
side and sectional diagram OF a range Of
mountains on the other. Without any
quibbling he launched forth ON an old
stereotyped greenback speech that parties
in the audience had heard him make years
ago ~ Illinois when ne ran for congress
ON the greenback ticket. Most of his time
WAS occupied with that serile. moth eaten,
moss covered, cid chestnut-the national
bank system. If he had taken pains to
explain why this was the most unpopular
banking system in vogue; he would have
displayed more erafi,ion ON banking
matters than he did. But this mathe-
matical dIsquisition is a standing favorite
of the greekackers and no speech is COM
plete without it..
Mr.. Sage put in his closing remarks by
rapidly knocking the pins from under his
antagonist-so far as they pertained to the
question under discussion. The Union
Labor boys--at least some of them-left
the hall With lou tone Of voice, which
indicated they wers very much chagrined
that their champion should allow himself
to be knocked out so easily.
