GOVERNMENT LANDS,

P0ssessory Rights In Them Are Asses
sable by the sssts.
District Attorney Donnell yesterday
ans w cred communication from County
Assessor Summerland, inquiring wheth.
or possessorv interests. in government
land are assessnble, and il go, whether
they should be assessed to the purchase
ers as real estate or as personal property.
The second question submitted by the
assessor to the district attorney was
whether, when the purchaser OF land
from the government has made his last
syment and holds O receipt from tho
United States land Office for the asms.
II that ia evidence that the title has
passed from the government, and
whether the land should then DO as
sessed to the purchaser or remain nom
asaesaabls until the issuance Of the
patent.
The district attorney answers the frat
proposition affirmatively. He says that
the supreme court has held that the
possessions and claims of occupants OF
public lands are species OF property
having q real, substantial and ealable
value. and improvements on public
lanu, OWncu oltn0r ~ pIe-emptOr or
erected without license. may be taxed
by the stats, as also the value OF the
poseessory right. The interest to be
listed should be the value OF the pos.
sessory right. and not the value of the
land itself, to be determined in the same
way as that OF other property.
On the second proposition Major
Donnell replies that the land IL liable
to taxation when il has been paid for
and the certificate OF purchase been
given, although the patent may not yet
have been issued.

b. J. Boves, the ex-postmaster OF

on the charge Of having opened letter
addressed to R. E. Nickel. late post-
master at the same place. The letter
was from the treasury department. and
very plainly addressed R. E. Nickel, late
postmaster. Acton. Cal.
The defendant denied that he had per.
sonally opened the letter or that he was
aware by whom 1t had been done, but
the act occurred before it left his custody.
1t seemed from the testimony that Boz
wees daughter-iu-lay and his grand
daughter meddled considerably with the
mail, which induced the United Statea
district attorney to inquire from the
ex postmaster whether the postofiice at
Acton wac run as a family affair or as
government institution. Opening let
tsrs addressed to other people eesms to
have been unusually frequent at Acton.
az Bovse's assistant had been removed
heretofore for opening letter addressed
to Mr.. Nickel.
After hearing all the evidence in the
case Commissioner Van Dyke ordered

CRUELTY IN GREENLAND.
Barbarous Features There of the Marriage
 Customs.


 Customs.
 For wanton cruelty in the capture of a bride we must go to Greenland. There we find something more than simulated violence in the method of capture and the, means by which the girl is retained. Dr. Nansen, in his ac- count of his journey Across Green land, says that on the west coast mar riage nowadays roughly follows the lines of marriage in Europe. but on the east coast old customs prevail. A man having made up his mind to take to himself wife, goes to the tent of a family, one of whose girl members meets his views, catches her by the hair or in so-nc other equally rude way, and drags her forth to his home. He there presents her with bucket or some useful domestic utensil, and the ceremony is complete.
 According to Baron Nordenskiold etiquette requires that the bride should receive hard blows. She does not sub init readily, but bewails her fate, ap- pears with torn garments and dishev- eled hair, and makes a show of getting away from her husband. Sometimes her grief is sincere, and a sensitive European would certainly not know whether it was or not. He might be tempted to interfere, in which case he would probably find himself opposed by the bride as well as bridegroom. In order that the apparently miserab ble woman might be compelled to remain in her new home, the barbarous GUS tom used to exist of branding her feet so that they were too painful for her to walk. By the time they were well she could with propriety declare her self resigned to her position.
 In Greenland, it is easy to tell who is married and who is not. The Esqui- maux women gather up their hair into huge tuft on the top, tying it with a ribbon, the color of which denotes their position. 4 maid wears red, a married woman blue, a widow, black; a widow anxious to remarry, black and red; a widow too old to remarry, white

EismarciS's Diplomacy.

Che day the Austrian ambassador to the federal diet, Count Rcehberg, re- ceived a dispatch instructing him to vote with Prussia for a certain inpor- tant measure, accompanied with con- fidcntial letter directing him to induce the representatives of the other Ger man states to vote against the measure and thus defeat it. In his haste he handed the wrong paper to Bismarck, who read and returned it with the re- mark: ''There must be some mistake here" Rechberg saw his blunder, and grew pale and excited. Don't be dis turbed," said Bismarck; you did not intend to give me this document, and therefore you have not given it to me, and I am wholly ignorant of it's con- tents." In fact, he made no mention of it in his official reports, and thus won Rechberg's gratitude, besides having him henceforth lon the hip."

ECHOES OF THE RAIL.

THE last general assembly of Ala bama passed an act which makes train robbery in that state punishable by death.
 AN English inventor has invented an automatic air brake in which the weight of the train supplies the power to set the brakes.
 THE railroad and warehouse commis- sion of Illinois has given an opinion that one road cannot be made to fur nish terminal facilities for another.
 MR. LESLIE, the inventor of the TO- tary snowplow, states that one of these machines is now being built in Copen- hagen to be sent to Russia. The Union Pacific now has six of them.
 IT is estimated that the Lackawanna stores more ice for summer use than any other road in the country. The number of tons harvested by the com pany is said to be nearly 2,OOO,O
 THE Bullock bill fixing street car fares in New Jersey at three cents be- tween the hours of five and seven o'clock in the morning and evening was disposed of by an adverse committee re port.
 THE Southern Railway company is said to have revoked the order for building new shops at Atlanta, Ga., owing to a number of suits for damages instituted by property owners in the vicinity of the shops.
 IF the estimate is correct that the ac- cumulated snow in Chicago weighed 35O,OOO,OO0 tons, it may be of interest to know it would have taken the twenty two Chicago roads thirty-four years to carry it away, if they took as many tons as they ordinarily do of all kinds of freight.
