At the last entrance examination only
ninety men entered the United States
military academy to fill 155 vacancies.
This was because seventeen congressman
made no appointments at all, and out of
13S original candidates nine did not report
and thirty-nine failed. while of sixty-four
alternates only thirty reported and but
ten passed, so that only ninety-seven
cadets entered, instead of 155 allowed by
the law. These fifty-eight vacancies would
have been filled if after the failure of the
original candidates-or in one-third of the
vacancies of any appointment whatever
there had been any authority to name
candidates. A simple change, giving the
president the right TO nominate candidates
TO I'LL all vacancies when the frs: examina-
ton is over, would give West Point full
entering class every year, improve the
selection, and save annual waste OF money
which now goes on when the government
maintains an institution which might
easily take charge of 400 cadets, but which
only has about 2s5.

REGISTRY OF LAND TITLES.

State Senator Claypool will introduce
at the next session of the legislature
"Real Property Act" which, if it be-
comes law, will establish in this state
what is popularity known as the "Torrens"
or Australian system" Of registering
titles 10 land. This system is described
at length by Edward Atkinson in the
February number of the Century maya
zine. The United States improved upon
the mother country in establishing a
registry of deeds, and the Australians
have gone a step further and established
sregistry OF land titles.
The registry of deeds merely puts upon
record the conveyance of all claims 10
the possession of land, good, bad or in
different. but it does not clear or assure
q title. Through ignorance or careless
ness the public record may bring the
possession of land into q state of COM
plexity and doubt, and as time goes on
may cloud more and more the titles TO
land. The registry of titles, on the other
hand, which has been adopted by Aus
tralia, New Zealand and British Columbia.
clears all fair and honest titles, removes
oil existing clouds and gives the occupant
whose title passes the examiners in the
first instance indefeasible possession.
while at the same time it renders the fu-
ture transfer or conveyance of land IS
simple and as ready as the transfer of a
share ofrsilway or factory stock now is in
this country and reduces the cost Of con-
veyance.
In Australia the method of procedure in
eonveyaucing by registration Of title is as
follows:
The person or persons in whom TIE fee is
claimed 10 be vested may apply TO have the land
placed on the registry Of titles; these spplica-
tIons, together with the deeds, evidences aud
land, are submitted for examination 10 harris
ter and 10 eonveyanoer, who are styled exsmi-
neYs OF titles, who examine the titles exactly as
they would On behalf OF All intending pur-
chaser. IL the title were not to be reg isterei.
The report Of the examiners is made 10 the
registrar. II the title is good holding title.
the application is admitted. should
the applicant fail 10 satisfy the exa1i-
ners, II is rejected. II there Is evidence
OF title wanting, OF which the reputad owner
can compel completion. notices corresponding
in many respects 20 those required in our pro
bate court are served, according TO the nature
of the case. Notices are served, II any are re-
Quired, ss the examiners NAV indicate, upon any
person likely 70 be interested in law or equity
who has not Joined IN the application, aud upon
owners and eceupiers Of contiguous land. These
notices set forth the puEport OF the application,

MY SONGS, (DALAIM.)

PROM THE HUNGARIAN OF ALEXANDER PEroYL
Off in my musings I an idly tossed;
Now here, now there. and feel my fancy lost
Across our native land nv path trace;
Nay-earth and sky, and all beside embrace.
Ny songs, which from these idle musings spring
Are but fantastic moonbesns as l sing.
Yet why with mystic dreams in slumbar sink7
Were IL not well of future hours TO think?
But mindful Of Ghose hours why need bs7
For God Is loving: He viii think for me-
Ny Careless songs mount upward on the wing,
Like gaysss butterflies, the while sing.
Across my path when some sweet maiden strays
Ny thoughts dare not utter, as gaze;
Ny eyes from her calm eyes greeting take,
Like stars bent DER the bosom OF q lake;
Ny songs, which unawares loves transport
bring,
Are just wild roses clustering as I sing.
Does the maid love me? Let the red wine how;
Love not? Why-then 1 Quaf to queneh my
woe.
Wine in the merry cup will charm my pain
And bring some sunshine to my soul again.
Ny songs, which JOY and grief conmilglsd
bring,
Are wondrous-tin:ed rainbows as sing.
But while my hand holds up the cup il drains,
l look, and on our peoples necks are chains.
Merry the clatter OF the glass that cheers;
But letters rattle gruesome in our ears,
My songs, whils Toful sights the bosom wiring,
Are heavy clouds about me IS sing.
But wherefore do our people bide the chainf
Let them rise Up and burst its links in twain
Wait they until II our Hungarian land
GOD grant IL falls rust-saten from the hand?
Ny songs. which from tortured soul fling,
Behold are angry lightpings as / sing.
