No Hitch in Final Proofs.

The following letter from Register
Battelle,which w. B. S. Trimble received
this morning, would seem TO settle in
the affirmative d question Of considerable
interest hereabonts, viz: Whether a
claimant can perfect after admission
proof begun before admission, without
republication. Any other ruling by the
land department would have caused
great Inconvenience and considerable eX-
pense to settlers. The letter from the
Fargo Office says:
Have received telegram from the
Hon. Com mmlssloner, stating that under
new regulations promulgated this day,
final proof may be made before state
officers who succeed to functions OF ter
ritorial officers, designated in published
notices.

stract of the printed arguments of coun

cided by the court, and sometimes APP
pends short note citing earlier decis-
ions, or showing how the language of
the court limits or modifes rulings pre-
viously made. The Office is not especial
ly large in salary. The amount is to be
fixed by the legislature.

THE OLD FIREPLACE.
The blessed old fireplace how bright
nnnehrS.

The blessed old fireplace how bright it
appears,
As hack to my boyhood gaze
Der the desolate waste of the vanishing
years,
From the gloom OF those lone latter
days;
FITS lips are ruddy, its heart is as warm
TO my fancy, tonight, as Of yore,
When we cuddled around it, and smiled
at the storm,
As it showed its white teeth at the door
remember the apple that woed the red
fame,
Till the blood bubbled ont OF It's check;
And the passionate popcorn that smother
ed its shame,
Till its heart splitwith Shrek;
l remember the Greeks and the Troians
who fought,
In their shadowy shapes on the wall,
Aud yarn, in thick tangles, my fingers
held taught,
While my mother was winding the ball,
remember the cat that lay cosy and
curled
By the jamb, where the flame fickered
high,
And the sparkles-the frehies OF winter
that whirled
Up the flue, as the wind whistled by;
l remember the bald-headed, bandy-leg-
ged tongs,
That frowned like a iend in my face,
In fury of passion, repeating th2 wrongs,
They had borne in the old fireplace,
| remember the steam from the kettle
that bleathed
As soft as the flight Of Il soul,
The long handled skillet that spluttered
aud seethed
With the batter that burdened its bowl;
[ remember the rusty, identical nail
Where the criminal pothooEs were hung;
The dragon faced andirons, the old cedar
pail,
The gourd, and the peg whore itswung.
But the fire has died out on the old cabin
hearth,
The wiud clatters loud through the pane,
And the dwelleIs they've flown to the
end of the earth,
And will gaze on 1t never again;
A forgct-men not grows in the monldering
wall,
The last, as it were, of the race,
And the shadows of night settle down
like pail
One the stoues of the old fireplace.

THREE WONDERFUL CATS.
MISS MALTA, MISS CRAY.COlT AND MR..
TOMMY.

There was once a very beautiful
cat, who lived all alone in a splen-
did house. 1t was moi only lined
all throughout with fur, but there
were eight nests for mice, who year
after year raised large families fer
The sole benefit of Mistress Cat.
They did their very best to raise as
many young and tender nice as
possible, for they were liable to be
served up themselves II the cats
appetite was not satisfied.
Down in the cellar were little
wells filed with cool sweet cream,
and up in the tower were quaint
ties OF fine, fat Young pigeons.
You would have thought that this
pussy must be perfectly happy, but
she was not. You wonder why
Well, | will tell you.
just on the other side Of the street
lived another cat, not so handsome
as her neighbor, nor did she have
so fine a house, bu! yet she was The
cause Of deal of unhappiness.
Now, the name Of the first cat
was Malta. She was one OF the
most beautiful blue gray color, and
her fur was as shiny as satin. She
had pretty pointed ears and bright,
rouad eyes; her paws were soft
and velvety and she had a musical
voice.
The other cat was named Gray
Coat, because she had gray fur.
She was finely striped, almost like
a leopard, but yet was not consid- |
cred beauty.
Strangely enough. all The cats Of /
their acquaintance liked Gray-Coal /
best, even though she was not beau /
tlful and did not live in a fine /
house.
The reason of this was very clear /
ly expressed one day by two Tab /
bes who were walking out and /
chanced 10 meet Malta.
"She is very handsome, is she
not Z" said one.
"Yes," replied the other, but |
do not like her, she is so proud and
says such hateful thing behind
ones back"
"Yes, that is true replied the
first. "She is so different from her
Gray-Coal. Now, last
winter when / caught my foot in
that ugly trap, and was laid up for
so long, Gray Coat came to see me
every day. She brought me nice
things TO eat and would lick my
hurt paw with her tongue until I
would 60 fast asleep. Malta came
TO see me but once, and then | am
sure it was only to show a new dress
she had on, and 10 tell of the CAV
doincs which | could not attend" "
every body has the same Opin-
ion of Malta" said the other, with
a sigh. 81 am very sorry; she is
so pretty that she ought also be
sweet and good
Malta knew how she was regard ]

Birmingham News.
The Washington Oily Gazette,
weekly Democratic partisan sheet
when Cleveland was in power, but
wolully teuderfooted now in the
presence Of Harrison, says The
South is needlessly alarmed and
that the negro will never dominate
the United States, andthat in 1000
years The "race will be absorbed
by what and how, we are not in
formed, What has this assurance
to do with the question of to-day
and Of The hour! Negroes out
number whites, we are told, in
several Southern States and none
Of these States and no town or
county intends TO submit TO negro
mastery. Washington City escapes
cuffee's sway by having Congress
appoint its rulers, and these, God
knows, are bad enough. Surely
nobody in Washington expects us
to be more submissive to blacks
than the sweet and gentle patriots
of the Federal Capital, and it is to
the facts and necessities of to. day,
and not of 1000 years hence, Ia
which we call attention of the
Gazette.
Senator Sherman don't propose
TO compel local negro supremacy or
even fair vote and honest count
in Washington. lie comes into
the South where white relative
strength is less than in Washington,
and here he would make The me-
groes rulers OF the country. He
will never accomplish his purpose
and simply because we prefer a
despotism and have the
same right TO exemption from the
black calamity as Warrington City.
II Congress fail to protect US, as it
does the District of Columbia, we
propose to protect ourselves. The
sohdIty OF The South in tins pur-
pose is alleged TO be the solidity OF
The South's hostility TO the Union ;
but this misrepresentation and mis-
Interpretation of the South's pur-
poses signifies nothing, and the
Gazette should talk of present and
Df local facts and not of possibili-
lies of 1000 years hence.
1t signifies comparatively little
who represents us IN Congress. II
Senator Sherman'e bill giving Con-
sress control over Congressional
elections in the South become the
aw we dom. object very strenu-
'usly since it may only result in
,ur sending up, for Sherman's de-
ectaiiOn, fifty or sixty black Con.
-ressmen and these shall be repre-
blacks. Perhaps the Ga.
ette's people can stand il for 2OOC
ears. Very certainly we can.

Is very rotten. 1t would not last

"Never mind thai" said Malta,
with a queer smile. "You are to
do this, l say"
But the dress will come off her
if she tries TO dance in it," said
Tabby.
"Well, what if it does 2" Why,
she would be diSgraced and the
laughing stock of The whole room!'
exclaimed Tabby.
"Ihat would be sad, would il
not ?' said Malta, with a hateful
laugh. "Never you mind that.
Tabby, but make The dresses ex-
aclIy As | say, or you get no more
work from me !'-and home she
went.
"How mean she p exclaimed
Tdbby 20 herself. 81 do not forget
how good Gray-Coat was to me
when had a lame back last win
ter, nor how Miss Malta made lnn
Of me because | had to walk with
a crutch, | think, my fine lady,"
continued the little dressmaker,
"that You need il lesson, and | am
the one TO give il to you"
She made the dresses as had been
ordered took them TO the ladies',
who put them on, and both went
to the party.
Gray-Coat looked very nice, as
she came in on The arm of Mr..
Tommy, who seemed very proud Of
her. Malta laughed TO herself, as
she thought:
you won't feel so fine by and
by, YOU little gay fool"
The dance began and Gray-Coal
tripped about like a fairy. Malta
watched her maliciously, but the
thing she expected did not happen.
just as she was beginning TO think
the dressmaker had PLAYED her a
trick she noticed that all the cats |
were looking and pointing at her
and laughing behind their fans.
Hastily looking at herself she |
saw that her own dress had all |
come to pieces She was a most
sight and she FASTENED
away as fast as she could, but not
until she had made a ridiculous eX-
hibitiOn Ol herself
She was caught ia her own trap
The next day she berated the dress
maker soundly and threatened TO
have her punished.
"Do, So" said Iabby, "and | will
tell what il is for"
However, she consented 10 make
The dress overln time for Malta
to wear ii at the wedding of Gray
Coat and Tommy.
