tho settler to another is not recog
nizud, and vests no titlo or equities in

facia evidence of abandonment, nnd
sullieicnt causo for cancellation of the

The law allows but ono homestead
privilege ; a settler who relinquishes
it a liu .ula.iu lnu r.Iuim uttuuot tuorouf
ter make a second entry.
Whero a party lias made sottloment
on a surveyed tract ol land and filed
his pre-emption declaration therefor,
he may change Ins tiling into a homo,
stead.
If the Homestead Bottler doos uot
wish to remain five years on his tract,
tho law permits him to pay for it in
cash or military wurrants, upon mill;
ing proof of residence and cultivation
as required in pro-emption cases. This
prool is made by the afhdavit of the
party and tho testimony of two crodi-
blo witnesses.
Thero is another class of Homo-
steads, designated as "adjoining farm
Homesteads." In theso cases tho law
allows an applieantouinina and residinq
on an original farm, to enter other
land lying contiguous thereto, which
shall not. with such farm, exceed io
tho aggrcgato 100 acres. For exam
ple, a party owning or occupying 80
acres, may enter H1) additional of f 1.25,
or 40 acres of 82.60 land. Or if the
applicant owiih 40 acres, ho may enter
lU acres at l..o and 40 at fz.w per
ucre, if both elates of lands should bo
found contiguous to his original farm.
In entries of "Adjoining farms," tlio
settler must describe, in his affidavit,
the tract ho owns and lives upon is
his original lurm. Actual renidencc
on tho tract entered as an "udjoininz
larm is not required, luit bona Udv
improvement nnd cultivation of it for
hvo years must ho shown
Tho right to a tract of land under
tho homestead net commences lrom
dato of personal settlement, as in case
of pro-eiiiptioa.
hen u party makes nn entry under
tlio Iiomcslciiu net, nnd thereafter, be
fore the expiration of fivo 3'ears, makes
satisfactory proof of inhabitancy und
cultivation, und pays fur tho tract
undur tho MM section ol said act, it is
held to be a consummation of his home
stead right us tho act allows, and not
pre-emption, nnd will bo no bar to
tho samo party acquiring a pro-emp
tion right, provided ho can legally
show his right in virtuo of actual set
tlement and cultivation on another
tract at a period subsequent to his
proof and payment under tho Sib sec
tion of tho homestead act.
Tho 2d section of tho act of May 20,
1H02, declares thai after making proof
of settlement, cultivation, &o., "thon
if Uio party is at that timo a citiien
of tho United States, he shall bo en
titled to a patent." This, then, re
quires that all settlers shall ho citizens
of lho United States at tho time of
making finul proof, and be roust filo
in lho land oflico lho proper ovidenco
ol that lact, heloro a linul eortiGcato
will bo issued.
A party who lias provod up and
po:u lor a tract ol land under tho pro
emption net, can subsequently enter
another tract under tho homestead
act. Or a party who has consumma
ted his right to a tract of laud under
tho homestead act, will afterwards bo
permitted to pre-empt nnolher tract.
A Bottler who desires to relinquish
his homestead must surrender his du
plicate receipt, his relinquishment "to
the linilod Stales being endorsed
thereon; if ho has lost his receipt, that
must bo siulod in his relinquishment,
to bo signed by tho settler, attested
by two witnesses, acknowledged beforo
tho Itegister, orllecoivcr, or Clerk, or
Rotary ruhlic using a seal.
When a homestead entry is contest
ed, and application is mado for cancel
lation, tho party so applying must filo
an allnlnvit setting lorth the lads on
which his allegations aro grounded,
describing tho tract and ivin tha
nnmo of tlio Bottler. A dny will then
bo sot for hearing tho ovidenco, iWvinjr
all parties interested duo notice of the
time and place ol trial. It requires tho
testimony of two witnesses to estab
lish tho abandonment of a homestead
entry.
Another entry of tho land will not
bo mndo in caso of relinquishment or
contest until the cancellation is ordered
by tho Commissioner of lho General
Land Omco.
When a parly has mndo a mistake
in lho description of tho land ho do-
sired to enter as a homestead, nnd
desires to amend his application, ho
win no permitted to do so upon fur
nishing tho testiinuny ol two wit
nesses to tho facts, and proving that
ho has mado no improvements on tho
land described on his fir.st application,
nit lias iii.'i'lu valuuWo miprovoinoiits
on the land bo first intended and now
npj,.
dies to enter.
t is important for settlor lo bear
in mind thai it requires two witnesses
in making final the proof under tho
homestead net, w ho can testify that
the settler has rr'ilrd upon and rulli-
P'tti'l the tract for fivo years from the
lalo 01 his entry.
liy a can ful examination of tho
foregoing reiiuireinehli, settlers will

tho Land Office, tho manner in which
they can secure and perfect title to

"Jlave you any kerosene oil lor salo?
"1 es sir, a first rato nrticlo at 20 cents

ltuing surprisod at tho low price of

perfectly sntislied it was tho genuine

that 1 should haro nil that 1 wanted

I, bunding him 50 cents fractional cur

"Hold on !" says tho grocer, "you

1 thought, and set out for lho door
again. "Hold on I" lays tho grocer
again ; -yon aro going ofT without
paying your taxes on tho tobacco and
koroseno." "Taxes," said I, "what
taxes ?" Why, there is a government
direct tax of 50 cents and an indirect
tax of 8 cents on a ponnd of tobacco,
and a direct tax o 30 cent and nn
indiroct tax of 2 cents on a gallon of
kerosono oil. Pome grocers sell theso

inai uopreciaioa money is tho soureo

For both articles in specie, I was
charged cut 60; fur depreciated mon
ey iiu cents, and for taxes on thoso
two orticles DO cents, which is just
four and one-half times tho amount
charged on tho same article to nceount
of deprociald money. Ono pound of
kouueco oougni wnn legal lenders,
would only cost 42 cents; and with
tuxes added, would cost just 81. So
it we roturned to a specie basis. I
would only pay 12 cents less for a
pound ol tobacco than now, and only
eight conls less on a gallon of kero
seno oil than now. From tho ahovo 1
adduce tho following general rulo for
estimating tho amount of money paid
on account of taxes : First, obtain tho
spocio valuo of tho articles bofore tho
war ; from that obtain its legal tender
value, und from tho price now charired
for tho urtielo deduct its legal louder
vaiao, und tho remaindor will bo tho
amount paid on aee.ount of taxos.
Thus, tho spocio nrico of onnllnn
of kerosono is 20 cents, tho legal ton-
uor vaiuo is lound to bo US cents per
gallon, w hich deducted from fill cents
tho price chnrgod.would Ieavo 32 conts
tho amount paid to account of taxos
on ono gallon of kerosene oil. The
spcoio price of ono pound of tobneno
is v cents; legal tendor Talue 42
cents, which deducted from fl, tho
prico paid for the lobacca, leaves 2S
cents us lho amount, paid to account
of taxes on ono jiound of tobacco, 50
cents of which is direct and 8 conts
indirect tnx. Now, I uo 12 pounds
