FAMOUS ENGLISH TRAMPs.


From the Youths Companion
II IL calculated that Wordsworth. in his many
years Of sauntering, must have travelled q dis
snce Of 10000 miles. What sights he saw
during such prolonged and delightful wander
ings only those who have the poets mind and
eye can even guess.
Charles Dickens was o confirmed tramp, and
no doubt acquired bis experience Of 'life on
the road" from actual acquaintance with all
sorts Of vagabonds and odd characters, such
~ frequent town and country lanes and high
ways.
One of the most remarkable Of unprofes-
sional walkers was Professor Wilson, the
"Christopher North" OF literature. His fine
physique and great endurance prompted him
70 the performance OF wonderful feats, which
seemed to him entirely a matter Of course.
He once walked forty miles in eight hours,
and ut another time walked from Liverpool to
Eiieray in twenty-four hours, q distance OF
eighty miles. It is good to think of the long,
unwearied strides with which he swun along,
bis blood bounding with healthy pulses, and
sending invigorating waves to the active BRAIN
Henry Fawcett, also, was q tireless walker
and one Tho when deprived Of sight did not for
a moment think Of relinquishing this among
many forms of exercise. His was a familiar
figure on the roads about Cambridge, and there
10 no exaggeration in saying that few men
blessed with all his senses could enjoy nature
more thoroughly than he.
southey, worn and preyed upon by mental
application and the practical anxieties of every
day life, found his greatest relief In trsmping
about the country, listening for what nature
had to tell him and learning contentmept from
her stability. John Stuart Mill delighted in pc
destrian tours, and Chas. Lamb. though ne
loved town better than country, was one who
believed IN sweeping cobwebs from the brain
by brisk and continuous walking.

The Queens New Villa.

from the London Truth
The queen has now commenced building her
villa at Aix-les-B ains. The site is at Marlioz,
and the projected terrace and grounds will
command charming views Of the Lac du Bour-
get. The plans Of the villa were drawn out
more than two years ago, but difficulties arose
in connection with the purchase of the land,
which have only now been overcome. I hear
that imperative orders have been given that
the villa is to be built, decorated, furnished and
in every respect ready for the occupation of
the queen by the middle of March, as her ma
jesty contemplates another visit to Aix-les-
Bains next spring, and proposes to pass Easter
there. Her majesty has not often received
state visitors at Osborne, az the accommoda-
ton afforded by the house ia comparatively
limited, and when there are many guests they
are quartered at Osborne cottage, Kent house
and other residences on the estate. The pres
ent house of Osborne is Italian, with Palla-
dian front, flag tower at one end and clock
tower at the other, and the windows open upon
terrace gardens and q charming lawn. The
house was built by Cubitt from design drawn
by the prince consort. The gardens are very
pretty, and the whole Of the grounds (Which
afford drive of eight miles) are very we'll
wooded, the trees running down to the verge
of the beach.

Striking LabOrers Parade.

Ten thousand striking dock laborers paraded
the streets Of London yesterday, marching
from their homes in the east end under the
leadership of the socialist agitators Burns and
Champion. They carried no banners but the
bare poles decorated with strings Of red her
rings and crusts Of stale bread were far more
eloquent of the distress and suffering they
wished the well-to-do Of London to note. The
demonstration passed of without the slightest
disturbance, although early in the day a rumor
that the police would interfere with the pro-
cession caused many angry utterances Of def
ance and threats Of violence. The police,
however, did not interfere and disclaim any
such intentions, and the affair passed off very
quietly, the strikers At the conclusion of their
parade peacefully disbanding and going to
their homes

Richmond Delegates for Malone.

The republicans of Richmond, Va, held pre-
cinct meetings last night to elect delegates to
the city convention, which meets tonight to
select the twenty-six delegates and thirteen
alternates to which Richmond is entitled in the
state convention that assemblies in Norfolk on
Thursday. The attendance was generally slim
and the sessions short. The anti-Mahonites
made a fight in five or six precincts and in one
OF these there was split and two sets of dele
gates were chosen. The resistance did not
amount to much and it is q foregone conclu-
sion that the delegation from this city will be

An Import ant Letter.

The following communication fro m
Special Agent Fulton of the general
land office, having direct reference to
the location Of lands upon the public
domain in section where many of our
local readers are more or less interested,
is reproduced for the general informa-
ton it contains:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
CHEYENNE, WYo., July 8, 1889. J
FRANK g. FIELD, ESQ,
Custer City Dakota.
Dear Sir Your letter of June 30th
received and contents noted
First you state, in township ii and 45
north, range 81 and 90 west, formation
shales and are comparatively worthless
for agriculture. Men are making agri-
cultural entries, pre- emption and timber
culture over the oil placer, and wishing
to know how the miners and prospectors
can protect themselves. ! cannot tell
you how you will protect yourselves
against the agricultural entrymen, but
will state, in the mining districts, it is
customary when a townsite company
tries to capture piece of mineral land
for townslte purposes, and where min
ing locations have been made. the
miner continues working and shows
that there are values in the ground.
The laws are very plain, you cannot
acquire title or patent on mineral lands
where values exist, by pre-emption,
timber culture or homestead entry
furthermore, you could not acquire title
to agricultural lands by mineral loca-
tions.
| The man who knowingly files an agri
cultural entry on lands mineral in char
acter acquires no rights and his entry
will be cancelled, and he will forfeit the
right
Secondly, you ask ifa man can trans
fer his pre- emption, and make another
location or entry. In reply, believing
catch your idea, will state, there has
been cases where men hare made pre-
lemption, timber culture, or homeste aC
entries in good faith for agricultural
purposes, and after time discovered
that the land was mineral in character
knowing they could not make an homes,
| final proof. They have made state
ment of all facts, under bath, relinquish
ing all right to the lands, and asking the
Hon. commissioner of the general land
Office at Washington, ID. c., TO re-instate
them in the right used. The same has
been done, but it is necessary to make q
clean-concise statement. The fact of q
pre- emption entry, or twenty pre- emp
ton entries will not prevent mineral
patent issuing on lands where the law
has been complied with, and values
shown.
Last month was up in Al north, 81
west, and endeavored to explain to the
agricultural men the difficulties of Sc
touring title to lands surrounded by
mineral formation. And now, to you AZ
