A BURGLAR in Bondy, France, got
into the rooms of two men while they
were absent, and, fastening the door
from the inside, prevented them from
getting in when they came back unex-
pectedly. The police sent for the vii
lage locksmith, but he, very strangely,
could not be found, so they burst open
the door just as the burglar got upon
the rocf of the building. He was seen
and pursued down to the street and
into a canal. The shock of the cold
bath made him unconscious, and he
died in a short time. When they had
washed from his face the black with
which he had disguised himself the
riddle Of the village locksmith's where
abouts was solved. He was the bur-
glar himself

rior Department cannot redress the
wrong.
An adverse claimant should set
forth in detail the fact upon which he
bases his adverse claim. A statement
in general terms, embodying conclu-
stons OF law, without stating the facts
specially, will not be considered in
evidence.
An adverse claimant should show a
compliance with the local laws in re-
cording his claim and In regard to ex-
penditures, and shall file a copy of
the original notice of his location,
and show the nature or the extent of
the conflict alleged.
An allegation of parties TO suit that
they compose the company Is suffi-
cient, and they are not required to
prove that they are the original loca-
tors or the identical parties who pre-
scented the adverse claim.
OR MINERAL LANDS.
Where the land is of little, il any,
value for agricultural purposes, but is
essential for the development of min-
ing claims, it should be disposed of
under the Mining Act.
Where lands containing valuable
mineral deposits have been included
in an agricultural entry, said entry
will be cancelled at any time prior to
issue of patent, upon satisfactory evil
dence of the existence of such valu-
able deposits.
Where valuable mineral deposits
are discovered upon tract after the
same has been entered as agricultural,
but before patent has been issued, the
parties claiming the mine may make
application for patent for same, and
the agricultural entry will be can
celled to that portion OF the land en-
braced by said mining claim.
Where mineral deposits are discov-
cred on agricultural lands after the
patent has been issued to an agricul-
tural claimant, they pass with the
patent.
AgriculturalCollege scrip cannot be
received in payment for claims.
ALIENS.
A foreigner may make mining To-
cation and dispose of it, provided he
becomes a citizen before disposing of
the mine. Proof that the party was
not citizen before disposing of his
claim must be affirmatively shown.
Locators and Intermediate owners,
other than applicants, will not be
presumed aliens, in the absence OF
allegation or objection prior to the
issuance of patent.
The portion of a mining claim sold
to an alien cannot be patented while
such owner is an alien; but on his
declaration to become citizen his
right dates back to his purchase, and
he may thereupon secure an United
States patent for his claim.

SYMPATHY WASTED.

How Street Gamins Foo Many Kind-
 Hearted Persons.
 It is seldom that the New York street urchin fails to get amusement out of any thing where he sees the chance. Some youngsters saw an opportunity recently in the union of the following clements: A pair of trousers, an old jacket and vest, a hat and some straw. The straw was put in the other clements, and the whole, when completed, made very fair specimen of the genus tramp" The boys carried the figure around to a neighboring church, and placed it in a position which was skilhully intended to give the impression to passers-by of Q fellow-being in agony. Then they hid to watch developments, says the New York Times. A lady and gentleman passed the church. ',Oh, look at that poor fellow, John! He seems to be i'll, {" remarked the lady. The small boys didn't say any thing, but kept their eyes on ''John." "John," who was courtly cavalier of the olden days, benevolently went up and touched the figure, saying: "What's the matter with you, my man?" He did not Wat to get an answer, but left suddenly, and his departure was punctuatcd by various cat calls and scof1ing remarks.
 Many persons passed the figure, and many, overcome by emotions of pity, when up and spoke words of kind en- couragcment to it, patted it on the shoulder, shook it, and then went away quickly, accompanied by cries of ''Git de ambulance fur de man, boss! Call der cop! He's McGinty's brother, boss!" and various other expressions of American ized Anglo-Saxon that were more or less forcibly understood by those who heard them.
 The urehinS kept it up until one of their number suggested carrying the figure to the park and make soo'cide or murder" The idea was seized, and the poor agonized figure was hurried from the church steps and borne off into the surrounding darkness with a yell that made nervous old lady who was standing on the street corner shiver and cXclaime to her aged companion; .'Laudy! look at those boys a-torment- in that poor man."

LOST KENTUCKY MINE.
Stories of Large Amounts of Silver Taken
 from tsle Aodntains.


 from tsle Mountains.
 One of the most persistent, and yet one of the most elusive traditions of Kentucky is that of Swift's Silver Mine, says the Louisville Courier Journal Half dozen mountain coun- ties claim to have within the borders of each the original mine, but as no search has ever revealed the existence of ar gentiferous ore in any of them, half a dozen other counties claim that mis- take may have been made, and hope the wonderful mine may be within their own limits. Every now and then some person crazed on the subject makes his appearance with a map or chart, as5um- ing to show by actual survey the loca- tion of the long lost mine.
 John Swift was in East Tennessee and Eastern Kentucky as early as 1761, ac- companied by two Frenchmen, and somewhere in that region they coined, or pretended to coin, large quantities of silver money. There were no hints in the United States then, and Swift was arrested upon the suspicion Of being a counterfeiter. This was in North Caro- lima. The coin turned out to be purer silver than that of the British mint, and he was released. Swift left Bell County, Ky, because the Indians were trouble some, and he gave lady of that county the journal Of his Wanderings. His journal gave a vague account of about S54, ,0O0 and crowns which he aud his companions concealed at various places in the mountains of Eastern Ken lucky to facilitate their journey and se- cure safety. Ever since that journal be- came public search parties have hunted for the hidden wealth as consistently as ever Eastern people hunted for the hid den treasure of Captain Kidd, or the Southern people searched for the secret treasure-cave of Captain Blackboard.
 It goes without saying that nobody has ever found any signs of the treasure. True, there are more or less plausible traditions in various localities. For in- stance, in Carter County ancient tools and instruments used to coin money were found at the foot of cliff many years ago. The crumbling away of a ledge of the cliff had allowed the tools to fall from their cOnccalment. It is claimed, also, that one of the first set tiers of Carter County found near his pioneer cabin aquantity of peculiar cin- ders so heavy as to c2GGo him to have them tested. The result was the extrac- tion of sufficient silver to make several silver spoons, which, it was said, were as late as 1870 in possession of members of the family. Crucibles, furnaces, cin- ders and other relics of mineral smelt- ings, upon a small scale, have been found in several counties and attributed to a vicinage of Swift's silver mine. In 1871 three Cherokee Indians visited Wolfe County and carried away two sacks full of some weighty substance, which the residents in the neighborhood united in believing was some of Swifts silver. The presence of the Indians was well known, their object plainly guessed, yet nobody watched them close ly enough to discover the place where they procured their treasure.

lure for Writers Crnmn.

John Brown, stenographer, tens the Globe-Democrat: People often ask me when I sit down to do long job of shorthand why I lay before me so many pencils of different sizes. My reason for it is that by picking up pen cils of different sizes, and consequently weights, am enabled to rest my hands while continuing to work. Each different pencil brings into active play different muscles, and I never suffer from cramps, as might be the case if I used but one size pencil. A horse going over an ordinary turnpike, up hill and down, will be in better con- dition at the end of day than a horse which has travelled the same number of miles on a race track"

The Electric Express Train.

Dr. Louis Bell says the electric ex- press train in the near future will in all probability contain one or more pow erful motors on the axis of it's drivers, and aggregating perhaps 1000 horse power as a normal output. It will be lighted and heated by electricity. The track over which it will run will be straight and smooth, like the great En- glish trunk lines of to-day. The train will start smoothly into motion, fly along the track at the rate of one hun dred miles an hour or more, and stop quickly and easily by applying it's cleo tric brakes. An automatic block sys- tenn will be used that will secure perfect control of the trains and almost absolute immunity from collisions.

TOOTH TRANSATLANTIC.
An Occupation That Is as Ingenious as
 It Is Romantic.


 It Is Romantic.
 There is dentist in New York who calls himself ''tooth transplanter. !" This gentleman's occupation, according to the Yankee Blade, is as ingenious as it is romantic. A pair of lovers will go to him who are about to be separated for some time. Side by side they sit with open mouths in the surgery, while he draws out small and sound molar from the young mans jaw, and then immediately extracts the largest and soundest from the young lady's.
 The dentist then quickly inserts the feminine tooth in the masculine gum and the masculine tooth in the femi- nine gum, and in day or so the two teeth are fixed as comfortably in their foster mouths as though they had grown there always. The tooth transplanters charges are little high, and sometimes he is called upon to undo his own work.
 Last October a fine, flashing young fellow, about to join his cavalry regi- ment on the frontier, came with his sweetheart, lovely little blonde, and requested to have their teeth trans planted. The job did not take long, al. though there was some little difficulty in drawing tooth sufficiently small out of the officers mouth to fit the girls gum, and she suffered no little pain dur ing the operation.
 She could not be induced to take ether, as she said it would spoil the romance. In February the young lady came again, but alone and in tears. "She rushed at me, relates the dentist, 'crying: Take it out, take it out; he is a wretch, and has deceived me-
 II recalled her face readily, but in- sisted on hearing her story before removing her sweetheart's Itrans- planted tooth. And I was quite moved" continued the dentist, "by her recital of the infamous manner in which her cav airy lover had suddenly ceased core spending with her and deliberately mar ried the rich widow of Lieutenant, Colonel.
 ''I took out that tooth, and advised her to write to her recalcitrant lover and insist upon her own tooth being re- stored to her. I hope he was well wrenched in the operation"

MIsTooK HIS MAN.
A Capital Guide Fastens Upon the Secre-
 tary of War by Mistake.

A sedate, elderly gentleman crosses from the State, War and Navy buildings to the White House several times a week, writes Washington correspond ent. He has tall figure and kindly face, and any one seeing him once would recognize him again-that is, anybody except Washington guide. Probably the stupidest sharpers are the guides who infest the neighborhood of the White House. They approach their victim in most unbusiness-like man. ner, and begin negotiations with some assertion regarding the granite columns of the Department of State or the inter est attaching to the Navy Department. They have as little memory of faces as respect of position. They have been known to accost the same person twice within few hours. and will solicit busi- ness in their characteristically volun- teer style from people who have seen Washington evolve from a bog hole. Admission to the White House grounds is now denied the guides, but they sta tion themselves at slightly localities out side, and when they see a stranger they go for him. One day last week the sedate elderly gentleman was slow ly moving in the direction of the White House, when guide approached. Using a rattan switch as pointer, he indi- cated two-story building, glaring white in the hot sun, and said, authori- tatiyely: That's the White House, sir. :" For a second the elderly gentleman looked pained, then surprised, finally amused. He listened while the features of the White House were more or less accurately described. and gathered con- siderable information regarding the life of the Presidents family The guide was interrupted in the midst of an animated discussion of the Cabinet by Q passer-by, who inclined his head re- spectfully and raised his hat with the murmur: MT. Secretary" The guide gave a hesitating glance at his prey, and the latter took advantage of the lull to enter the White House. The guide was aghast, and the detective who generally looks out for the in- truders of the executive grounds hUs- tied him out into the avenue. That guide will probably remember Reddeld Proctor next time
