On appeal from the commissioner of the general land office, the secre tary o the interior has overruled the decision of his predecessor in the Phelp's case, allowing n pre-emptor to make a second pre-emption filing for the same tract of land. In over ruling this decision the secretary holds, (to use his own language): "I cannot concur in such a construction of the act, (pre-emption act) for it in volves the propsition that until a set tler has acquired the title under the pre-emption law, he never loses the right to file anew for the land. That if he elects, on expiration of the time fixed by law, to not buy the land, such election gives him' in the ab sence, of adverse rights, the privilege of again excluding the settlement rights of the public for another peri od of thirty-three months. When .the whole of this section Section 2261, U. S. revised statutes, being in substance the 10th section of the pre emption act Steobach, is consid ered together, it becomes apparent that congress by the first clause said: 'No man -shall have more than one pre-emption right,' and by the sec ond, 'that right shall be restricted to one tract of land.' Full effect is thus given the whole section, without giv ing to the pre-emptor the exclusive right to hold the the land beyond the time fixed by law, and thus receive more than one pre-emption right"' In conclusion the secretary says: "This decision is not to be taken as af feoting cases already adjucated under the rules in the Phelp's case, which is hereby overruled. 3Ioney Sav:"ir. In general, money which is inher ited is as apt to go as easily as it came; but the person who has earned money by hard labor and deprivation maybe, is not the ono to allow it to slip from his grasp. He knows what struggles he had to accumulate that amount, and knows how to handle it to get more. The writer has seen numerous instances "where young men Have been set Tip in business by the money of parents, and in the great majority of cases they made a failure of it. Never hpvint learned the secret of saving money, it was but natural for them, when it came into their possession, to make free use of it. 'The person -who has the tact to save a thousand dollars from his i earnings by the time he is 25 years of age should have no trouble in raising it to ten thousand dollars by the time he is forty, and often to a much larger amount It is the first thousand dol lars that tries the ability, and what comes after is easy enough if the per son only keej5ey.el-h&dntLxloes not aUowIumsel? tribe carried "away by success. The Fascination or Gold Minis. hutf fortyWr says oC goldi CHASi A MAY3 "It's the fascination of it. Lor',' man, -when jou've struck it pretty (New Store, New Stock rich and can sec yer gold right in .L Vamx Oo0ll frnnr nF vnn: when von re nilmcr it i upevery'half hour of tho day, rith a nugget every now and again as big I as a bullet to cheer you, and then rhen evenin' comes and ou count it just pioked out of tho earth that day well, there ain't nolhin' like it. j Then when you don't strike it rich j you always think you're goiu' to next day, an' it's just as eioitin' hearing other men tell in tho ovenin' what they pulled out as it is countin' over your own. "Why, I've boon three and four months at a timo without mak ing a dollar and without a cent in my pocket; but gee-wittaker! the ex citement of it don't give a man twice to think of how hard up he is." The Chinaman's Pigtail. It is curious that what at first wap the token of Chinese subjugation at the hands of the Tartars, the pigtail, has now become the pride and glory of the race. Out off the queue of a Celestial, and suioide is the only hon orable course open to him. If ho is especially tenacious of life, however, he may don a false article until his hair has grown again. Whilo at work the coolies wear their pigtails wound up on the back of their heads; but when they have occasion to pre ent themselves before you, it is in variably unwound. For a Chinaman to appear in your presence with his pigtail in a knot would be equivalent to your entering a drawing-room in Amerioawith a hat on and your pants tucked in your boots. Flans for a California Yacht. Flans and specimens for a fast oruising soliooner yacht have just been sent to James Y. Coleman, of San Francisco, by A. Cary Smith, of New York. As the vessel is to be built in California the plans are nec essarily very complete. Coleman de serves suocess for his enterprising yachting spirit By building a vessel in uauiornia an oppunumsy wm ue afforded for using the magnificent ; -woods of that country, for every part of the craft, with the additional satis faction of being able to thoroughly inspect ber construction from keel to completion. - Coleman has also or dered a full-rigged model of the yacht made, which he proposes to keep at home. A'Detroit woman wants a divorce because her husband, she has discov ered, lied to her before he married her. He told her that he owned a horse and wagon, and possessed neither. Bufr he claims that he told her the truth, inasmuch as he owned a wood-horse and. a dog, and tho lat ter's tail had a wag-on. It is believed the courtPFill not 'only grant a di vorce, but sentence the fiend to be hanged. Norrlstown Herald. Mary Ellen Chase says "there will be three women to one man in heav en." Then there will bo two women out of every -three that will be al mighty lonesome and don't you for get it, Mary Ellen. AVhale 3Ie.it s an Article of Food. A Norwegian & peculator has been turning his attention recently to the introduction of whale meat as an arti cle of food. He was induced to do this through a belief that it was both nutritions and palatable, and the knowledge that immense quantities of it are annually thrown away, not withstanding large quantities of it are eaten oaoh season by those en gaged in the whale fisheries. He con cluded that if some preserving process' were adopted that it could be profit ably used on shore. Ifc accordingly made arrangements with several captains of whaling teasels and two meat preserving firms, and some time pince ho -gave a whale dinner. At this dinner he claims to have proven that whaleflesu can be cooked, in a dozen different ways, and that it forms a delicious as well as a whole some article of diet It is said that some parts of the fish supplied mate rial for an excellent imitation of turtle soup; other portions resemble beef, while other portions again are almost as white and tender as spring chicken. Dauzeron Navigation. Navigation of the lower Spokane river is somewhat dangerous. A party of three men started down in a skiff a few days ago. They ran the rapids at the mouth of Hangman creek suc cessfully, but about four miles below they found the riffles running several feet high and the boat was thrown end for end with such force that they were glad to reach the shore and walk back to Spokane Falls. Had they taken the trouble to inquire about the character of the lower Spokane river they would have learned that the channel was through cauyons 2,000 feet below the plains to the south and full of rapids and falls entirely un navigable. Spokane Chronicle. The initials of the four most prom inent republican presidential candi dates Blaine, Arthur, Lincoln and Logan spell B-A-L-L. It is now time for some fortune-teller to inform the democrats that this signifies that the republicans will get the grand bounce. Bill Nye, Josh Billings, and other humorous writers, have contributed their best efforts to the St. Jacobs Oil Family Calexdab, 1834-5.
