Notice to Purchasers of the
Forfeited r. r. Lands.
UNITED STATES LAND OFFICE,
Huntsville Ala, April Is. 1891

Pursuant to instructions from the Hon.
Commissioner of the General Land OF
fee, with the approval OF the Hon. Sec
retary of the Interior, public notice is
hereby given that all persons intending
to claim the right of purchase, provided
for in Section Three e. of the forfeiture
act. shall come forward within 80 days
from the date of this notice and file IN
this office statement OF their claim,
properly describing the lands intended
to be claimed within the period named. .
The said third section ofthe act ofCon-
gress approved September 70, 1890,
known as the Gland grant forfeiture act, y
makes provisions for persons in poses
sion OF any of the lands forfeited by said
act, under deed, written contract with,
or license from. the company, and per-
sons who have settled upon such lands
with bon-a-fide intent to secure title
thereto by purchase from the company,
granting such persons the right Of pur
chase, not exceed 800 acres, from the
government at $1.25 per acre, at any
time within two yearS from the passage
of the act, or as amended, within two
wears from the PRONUNCIATION of instruc,
tons fer the guidance of the local Off
GERS in the disposition of the lands, i e.
January 10, 1891.
This notice Of the requirement of the
filing of such claims within so days, is
made to avoid complications likely tC
arise to settlers in the numerous cases
of persons holding contracts for large DO
dies of these lands but now in all cases
having the right of purchase, limited by
the law to 800 acres. Such purchasers
must now elect, within sixty days. which
tracts they will claim.
This will not bar entry of the land de-
scribed, subject to the perfection of thu
right of purchase, but will avoid litiga
ton, as the intending settler will have
knowledge Of the particular tracts
claimed under the RICH. of purchase.

LIFE WITH THE FosTr-NIMTH
Massachusetts Volunteers, or a Pri-
Yates View of War,

This is q volume of 40 pages, hand
somely bound in cloth, and embelished
with fine steel engraving of Colonel
afterwards Major-GeneraD Bartlett, OF
whose military life it presents the fullest
history yet published. The memorable
campaign, Terminating in the surrender
of Port Hudson, is here, for the first time,
given its full significance. Our victories
at Vicksburg and Gettysburg, occurring
at the same time as that surrender drew
the public attention away from cam
paign marked by the most romantic incl
dents of the war, q campaign which for
exhibitions of daring bravery has no SUI
perior in our military history. There the
splendid valor of the cOlored troops on
the field where, under inspiration of free
dom, they first grappled in arms with
their former masters, trumphantly an
swered the question:; 'WiU tie Negro
fqht?" The forlorn hopes" organized
MAY 9th and June 10Th, 1868, stand out
as something terribly unique in the art OF
war. The desuerateness of the stuggle is
manifested by the fact that, while Grant,
at Vicksburg, lost in killed and wounded
Is per cent. of his force, Banks; at Port
Hudson, lost 10 per cent.
Early in my military service, believing
that the true inwardness of war could on
ly be shown by the private soldier, de-
termined to write history of my regi-
ment. Most of it was written in our res.
pective cams, and in resting intervals
during marches, and much of it on the
edge of battle fields, on loose slips Of pa
per, sent to the rear to be forwarded to
my wife in case Higher Power had Sc.
lected>me to fall. could not improve on
that. I doubt if could so well repro
duce ''the Old-time thrill and inspiration, y
so, as then written, Inow publish.
1t is not skeleton history of regi-
ment, but, as its title imparts, it is Life
with the Forty-Ninth."

rades. l solicit the patronage of those who
gratefully remember that our prosperity
under God, is mainly due to those who

both sides of the question. The Rev.
Lyman Abbott. D. d., said he felt
sure that taking the South as whole,
prejudices were disappearing and a
sincere and earnest desire for the best
and largest education of the colored
people was coming.
President Woodwork, of Tugaloo
University, Mississippi. gave valu-
able paper on the econimic conditions
of the colored people in Mississippi
which he thought were better than
in any other State. This was largely
because the people were essentially
an agricultural people. There six
colored physicians in the State and
nine colored lawyers, one Of whom

HANGMAN VAN HIsE IL TROUBLE
Charged with Breaking aud Entering by
an Unpaid Creditor.


Special to The Sunday Morning Netcs.
NEWARK, Aug. 10. 1891 james H. Van
Hise, who has gained widespread motor
iety as a hangman. was held under 500
bail by Justice Amzi Dean today on a
charge of breaking aud entering the hat
shop Of George Savelson & Brothers, who
conduct the Newark Hatsizing CompanV's
business at No. las Summit street. Van
Hise, who denies his guilt, will be given
an examination on the charge before JUS
tice Dean on Tuesday.
George Savelson, the senior member of
the firm, is tbs complainant. Some time
ago, Saveison says, he ordered hatsiz-
ing machine from a man named Riley,
agreeing to pay for it at stated intervals.
Van Hise, who is carpenter. assisted to
build the machine, but Riley, Savelson
says, did not pay him for his work. Ere
quently Van Hise called on the firm and
demanded payment for his work The
debt was denied there, and it is alleged
that Van Hise threatened to taxa salts
faction.
On August the shop was closed, and
during the temporary absence of the firm
Van Hise, it is alleged. broke into the
shop, ana besides carrying away valuable
parts Of the machine, destroyed other
parts, so as to render the machines use
less.
Van Hise denies that he broke into the
shop, which he claims was Open He adj
mits taking away the missing parts of
the machinery, but be claims u was built
by him with rha understanding that he
should be paid for it. He eiaims a part
nership with Riley, and says the Savel-
sons having failed in their payments. ac-
cording to the agreement, the ownership
of the machine reverts TO the builders.

ALAS. POOR POLL!
why Grape Was Hung on Martin Rouse's
DoorbelI.


Why Grape Was Hung on Martin Rouse's
DoorbelI.
Mr.. Martin Rouse, the veteran fireman
of No. 43 Mercer street, was never seen
to shed tear until last night. His
friends kwere dumbfounded and at first
advanced the idea that Martin was crying
because of the absence of his charming
daughter, Miss Lille Rouse.
An investigation revealed a far differ
eut state of affairs, and today an i'm
mense piece of black Grape Is conspicuous
on the front door of the Rouse domiciie.
Mr.. Rouse's pet parrot is dead. 1t was
an affectionate bird and cftentimes con-
versed with It's owner In q STYLE that
news was circulated that Rouse's parrot
was dead the inmates Of the house and
the neighbors heaved sigh or relief.
The parrot was considered nuisance
by everyone but to Mr.. Rouse it was an
invaluable pet. The bird mad a voice
that caused people to shudder when th ey
heard it, and having been brought up n
a ship. it was not always choice in its
selection of expressions.
During the past two weeks the bird de-
veloped an unsuitable desire to scream
fires about two o'clock ia the morning.
On Thursday morning the neighbour
hood was aroused by its screams. Heads
was discovered. At last it downed on q
gentleman living two doors from Mrs
Rouse that it was the parrot. Something
like this sailed into Mrs. Rouse's ear:--
- that parrot. 1t should be killed
and its owner tarred aud feathered''
This was followed by bootjack. Jumps
of coal and small pieces of household fur
niture. Rouse's yard was filled with fire
wood in about ten minutes and a few
panes of glass were shattered In a thou
sand pieces. Rouse would not dispose of
the bird even after'this unneighborly as
sault. but decided to make it keep quiet
by Shaping it gently on the head every
time 1t spoke. This had the desir ed effect
and the bird. becoming respondent, rolled
over and died.
Poor Poll was buried with the greatest
respect, and small head board marks he
spot where the beloved bird lies.
Mr.. Rouse is not on speaking terms
with his neighbors. but there Is horrible
fate in store for them, rs he states that II
he cannot keep an innocent parrot he will
have dogs and cats, and possibly
monkey.
