The latter are tue alternate sei tions reserved fcy the government lit the land grants to railroads, etc. I If a person desires to purchase ioi cash, he applies at tho land office, pay! his money, gets a receipt for it and fl certificate of purchaso, the completd title to the land being given by the: commissioner of the general land officd at "Washington if the proceeding of 'the register is found regular; if not, the money is refunded. iBut cases of refunding scarcely ever occur, so that no anxiety is felt on that score if the certificate is once obtained, i Ileads of families or citizens over twenty-one alone can locate under the pre-emption law. If such settle upon a quarter-section of unoccupied land they have the right of prior claim to purchase on complying with the proper regulations, The homestead laws give to any citi zen, or applicant for citizenship, over twenty-one years of age, who will actu ally settle upon and cultivate the land, 1G0 acres of f 1.25 per acre land, or half the amount of $2.50 per acre land. The settler must occupy and cultivate his farm for five years before his patent will be issued. The fees will range from $7 to $34, and must be paid to the register. In order to obtain a title to a timber claim on the public lands of tho United States, according to the amended law, but ten acres on each quarter section need be planted to timber, or a corrc sponding portion on eighty and forty acre tracts. Tho following are the con ditions: Five acres on each quarter sec-i tion are to be broken the first year, cropped the second year, and the addi- tional five acres broken. The tree plant ing on five acres must be done the third year, at tho rate of 2,700 to the acre, which means that the trees must stand four feet apart. The fourth year the remaining five acres must be put in in the same manner. Cultivation of the trees must continue for eight years, at the end of which time there must be 675 living trees per acre on each of the ten acres. The fees and commissions in timber culture entries range from $13 to $18. "There has been some re striction as to the kind of timber trees that should be planted, intended, of course, to make all efforts to obtain lands under this act legitimate to pre vent fraud in securing them. The land commissioner named the species of trees that must be planted, but his latest decision is in effect that any kind of tree may be planted that is known to be valuable in the locality on which the land is to be located. Of course, every one who desires to create a homo for himself and family on one of these tracts is more deeply than any one else interested in informing himself upon this subject, and in securing the very best species and varieties obtainable.

But the following facts show that they have not made allowance for the rapidity with which the waters wear away that rocky dam. Says the Eev. Dr. Prime, of the New York 06 sener : One who returns to 'Niagara after a long absence notes the marked changes taking place in the face of the cata ract. My first visit here was made in the year 1844, thirty-seven years ago. Then the broad expanse of Table Kock was the platform on which successive thousands stood. Many crept softly to the verge and looked into the abyss. Others more cautiously lay on their faces and gazed at the crystal current as it broke into jewels and fell in a stream from the awful height. Now the broad platform has fallen, and the work of undermining is going still further on. In forty years more the present standpoint will be in the depths below. But more remarkable is the change in the shape of the Ilorse Bhoe Fall itself. Then it was a perfect segment of acircle, so nearly like the heel of a horseshoe as to suggest thd fitness of its name. Now vast masses of rock have been dislodged in the middle of the curve, making a sharp and wide diversion of the current, so that the torrent pours into a midway gulf from which the mist rises con-i stantly. ' This does not diminish, but perhaps enhances, the interest of the cataract It breaks the circuit, destroys the per fect symmetry of the curve. It proves that the recession of thaj fall is going on with far greater force than Mr. Lyell and his brethren in ge ology calculated when they supposed .they had estimated the ages by the iprogress up-stream of the verge of Ni agara. ' If in half the lifetime of a modern man such changes have occurred, what may not have been wrought by these mighty forces of nature in 5,000 years? One sheep owner in Utah lost 200 lambs last spring by eagles carrying them oft Condensing a Telegram. There was a big smash on the rail road at Dallas Center, Iowa. To an nounce his escape from a horrible death one of the passengers, a tall man with a thin neck, handed the telegraph ope rator the following message: Mrs. Sarah It. FoixinssRi, Salui Ckhtbh, tow a. My Dear Wife: I left the city early this morning, after eating breakfast with Professor Morton, a live man in the temperance cause. I ex pected to eat dinner with yon at home. Bnt we were delayed by a terrible railroad accident on the railroad, and I narrowly escaped being killed ; one Bassenger was terribly mangled, and has since died 1 nt I am alive. The conductor says I cannot make connection so as to come to Dallas Ceater this morning, but I can get there by 8 o'clock this even ing. I hate to disappoint yon, bnt cannot help It. W Ith love for mother and the children, I am your loving husband, Kousn K. Follinsdbk. The operator read it, smiled, and said: "Youcansavo considerable ex pense and tell all that is really neces sary, I presume, by shortening thi3 message down to ten words. We have no wire directly into Dallas, and will have to send this message part of the way 6ver another line, which adds largely to the cost of transmission. Shall I shorten this for you?" "No, oh, no," the man with the Bhawl replied, " I'll fix it myself." The tall man with the short panta loons went back to the desk with his message. It was a stunner, for a fact, and the man heaved a de spairing sigh as he prepared to boil his "letter" down to ten words. U& sighed again after reading it through once or twice, and then scratched out "Dallas Center, Iowa," as though everybody knew where he lived. Then ho erased " early," and drew his pen Blowly through "breakfast with" and "in the temperance." Then he scratched over "dinner with," and went on to erase " and narrowly es caped." And so he went on through tho dispatch. Occasionally he would hold it from liim at arm's length, after making an erasure, to get at the gen eral effect. And at last, after much Scratching and erasing and with many sighs, he came to the window and said: " Here is this telegraphic dispatch to toy wife. I have not been able to con dense it into ten words, and do not see how it can be done without garbling the sense of the dispatch, but if you ran do it you will oblige me greatly, as t do not wish to incur any really un necessary expense." And with that he handed the opera tor the following expunged edition of his original message: Mns. Sarah H. Fouinsbik My Dear Wife : I E'ft tho city this morning after eating Professor lorton alive cause I expected to eat you at ome. But we were delayed by a terrible railroad tccldent on the railroad. I being killed terribly mngled and siuce died; the conductor cannot liallas Center but I can. I hate mother and children. Roger K. Foluksbex. j The operator smiled once more, and in his quick, nervous way that grows but of his familiar association with the lightning, made a few quick dashes with his pencil, and without adding or changing a letter in the original message, shriveled it down to its very sinews, like this: Sarah H. Fomjnsbee Dallas Center, Iowa Left city 'emornlng; delayed by accident; home 'eeveuing. Hooks K. Kollinbbee. " There, that is all right," he said, in the cheery, magnetic way these opera tors have. "Fifty cents, sir; only twenty-five cents if we had our own wire into Dallas, sir; we'll have one next spring, too; saves you several dollars, sir. That's right, thank you." And the man with the thin neck and bin hair went and sat down on a ihair by the stove, and stared at that iperator until the rescuing train camo ilong as though he was a worker of niracles. The Howling; Monkey. AVe will begin with the howling f.ionkeys, which are the largest found m America, and are celebrated for the !oud voice of the males. Often in tho fcreat forests of the Amazon or Ori noco a tremendous noise is heard in the tiight or early morning, as if a great assemblage of wild beasts were all roar ing and screaming together. The noiso may be heard for miles, and it is loud er and more piercing than that of any other animal, yet it is all produced by n single male howler sitting on the branches of a lofty tree. They are enabled to make this extraordinary noise by means of an organ that is possessed by no other animal. The lower jaw is unusually deep, and this makes room for a hollow bony vessel about the size of a large walnut, situ ated under the root of the tongue, and having an opening into the windpipe, by which the animal can force air into it. This increases the power of its voice, acting something like the hollow case of a violin, and producing those marvelous rolling and reverberating sounds which caused the celebrated traveler, Waterton, to declare that they were such as might have had their origin in the infernal regions. The howlers are large and stout-bodied monkeys with bearded faces, and very strong and powerful grasping tails. They inhabit the wildest forests; they are very shy and are seldom taken cap tive, though they are less active than many other American monkeys. Foj xilar Science Monthly. The Highland Warriors. The appearance of the Highland reg iments which England hurried to the front from both sides of Egypt was as great a surprise to the Bedouins of Arabi Pasha as to their grandfathers in 1798. When the Highlanders of Sir Ralph Abercromby's army landed at Alexandria in that year the Arabs of the town, after a wondering survey of the stalwart Celts, ran to announce to their friends the arrival of a host of giants, so huge that the clothes which they wore were all too short for them. In the sepoy mutiny of 1857 the Highland regiments did priceless service both at Lueknow and Cawnpore, storming on one occasion a high-walled garden defended by five times their number of sepoys and lit erally annihilating the whole garrison. When Nana Sahib's soldiers first caught sight of the plaids and kilts they ex claimed joyfully that all the English soldiers must have been killed and that the sirkar (government) had had to call out the women. But after their first taste of a Highland bayonet charge they abandoned this belief once for all, and fell back upon the theory that these terrible fighters had deliber ately adopted this female garb in order to remind them of the wrong which they came to revenge, viz., the massacre of the English ladies by Nana Sahib. There are 112 species of woods in North Carolina. In the entire South em States there are only fourteen other varieties which are not found la that State. NEWS SUMMARY. Eattorn and Middle States.

In an engagement at Shaluf, a town on the canal about ten miles above Suez, the British drove we enemy out oi their entrenchments, killed and wounded about 100 of them and captured forty-five tirisoners. The London Daily News has the following account from its correspondent at Suez: "I have just returned from Shaluf, where I wit nessed the conclusion of a fight in which 250 of our men, including Highlanders, Blue jackets and marines, brilliantly defeated twice their number of the enemy. The fight lasted from 11 o'clock this morning nntil nearly 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The firing of the Highlanders was remark able for coolness and steadiness. Tho Gatlinirs in the ton of the sun. boats worked with admirable precision, and did much execution among the enemy, who advanced to within a hundred yards of the bank of the canal. The success was all the more brilliant owing to the extremely difficult nature of the country, which, abounded with low ridges and watercourses. Lieutenant Lang, of the Highlanders, gal. lantly crossed the fresh-water canal in the face of a hot fire and brought back a boat. thus enabling a company each of the High landers and marines to cross and Uike the) nemy on the right flank. The eiiacny fought bravely. Their ommander was killed."

General Sir Garnet Wolseley visited M. de Lessens and STnlained the action nf tK ish in regard to the Sues canal. He said everything would be over in a few days, but that the English must use the canal for the present. M. de Lesseps expressed himself as fully satisfied with General Wolseley's ex- Elnnation, and said he regretted that there ad been any misunderstanding on the sub ject.. The Soventy-second Regiment engaged the enemy at Serapeum and repulsed them. Two of the British troops were killed and five wounded. The enemy lost 100 men and four guns. As the Austrian gunboat Nautilus, bound from Port Said to Alexandria, passed Abou kir, the commander, seeing the white flag flying on the forts, supposed that they were in possession of the British, and sent a boat ashore with an officer and twelve men, who were made prisoners by the Egyptians.

Ten of the prisoners were shot. A dispatch from Eantara reports that the British forces now hold the Suez canal throughout its entiro length, and that they have an abundance of (rood water. General Sir Garnet Wolseley. in a clispatcn to the war office, recounts an engagement at Magfar in which he held his ground the whole day against 10,000 Egyptians. His forces numbered about 2,000 men. In his details General Wolseley says: " I advanced this morning before daybreak with the Household cavalry, two horse artillery guns, thirty mounted infantry, 1,000 men from the York and Lancaster regiment, and the marines. After some skirmishing I took possession of the dam which the enemy had constructed across the cauul between the villages Magfar and Mahatta. During the operations two squadrons of the Household cavalry charged the ene my s broken infantry very gallantly, i soon found that the enemy were beins largely re inforced from Tel-el-Kebir. I could see trains arriving. I thought it inconsistent with traditions for tho queen's army to re tire before any number of Egyptian troops, and so decided to hold the ground until re inforcements arrived. All day long I have had an Eirvntinn force of 10.000 men. with ten guns, in my front and on my right flank. A lie precision ot the enemy s artillery fire was very good, but fortunately they fired common shell nearly all day, and when they did fire shrapnel their fuses were badly adjusted. The enemy had their cavalry regi ments in line. Our horses, having been re cently on board ship, were not in condition to gallop much. The two horso artillery guns were served with pluck and ability. Our casualties have been slight. Captain Hallam rarr was wounded through the leg. lxra Melgund received a wound through the hand. Captain Parr's mounted infantry dis tinguished itself. Alljthe troops engaged did well. To-morrow I shall attack the enemy's position at Holenke, and hope to take posses sion of the dam which they constructed there this morning." On the following evening General Wolseley telegraphed as follows from Ismailia : "I pushed on again this morning at daybreak. The enemy had a strongly intrenched posi tion at Mahatta, and from the bold way m wliich they attucked me yesterday I hoped they would stand their ground to-day. They withdrew their euns, however, last sight. They had twelve in action yesterday. The force at my disposal tins morning was tne First Division and all the English cavalry, with sixteen guns. My intention was to pivot on my loft at the dam we took yester day, and swing round my right to take the enemy's position in the llank and drive them into the fresh water canal, sending tie cuvalry completely round their position vo occupy the railway in their rear, and, if possible, capture their engines and rolling stock. This operation was very well carried out. AU the heavy work devolved on the cav alrv and artillery, wliich were well handled by Major-Goneral Lowe. He attacked the rear of the enemy, who had a large camp at the Mahsameh railway station, which ho took, routing the enemy with considerable loss, taking five Krupp guns, seventy-five rail way carriages laden with provisions and e large quantity of ammunition and rifles. Notwithstandine the fact of our horses being unlit for heavy work and the long march wliich tho reinforcements I ordered yoster torday had to make, I have every reason to be satisfied with what has been done. The guards, under the Duke of Connaught, made a very trying march yesterday across the desert. They were well handled by him. The losses yesterday were : The Household cavalry, one private killed and five wounded and ten horses killed ; the Horse artillery, two privates and five horses killed ; the York and Lancaster regiments, one private killed and live wounded ; the Marino artillory, one private killed, and the Mounted infantry, two officers wounded. There have been forty eight sunstrokes among the privates, one fatal to-day, so far as I have yet been able to ascertain. Major Bibby, of the Seventh Dragoons has been severely wounded. Ad miral Seymour lias organized a boat service alon2 the canal, on which we shall have imaiuly to depend for supplies until the loco motives get to work. 1 he army owe the navy a deep debt of gratitude for tho assistance they have rendered." An Alexandria dispatch says : "At abont o'clook in the afternoon two heavy guns, recently placed beyond the Waterworks hill, opened fire on the enemy on the left bank of the Muhmoudieh canal. About twenty rounds were fired. Several shells exploded in the midst of the enemy's intrenclunents, causing considerable damage. The enemy replied feebly. The British forty-pounders at Ramleh cannonaded the enemy's lines to day. At about 5 p. ic. a conflagration was observed in the rear of the enemy's camp, about ten miles beyond Ramleh. The British man-of-war Minotaur shelled the enemy's outposts in the direction of Abou kir this afternoon. The shells seemed to burst in tho midst of the enemy's position. The Minotaur fired with increased rapidity until sunset. The enemy's reply was weak. There was altogether little activity in the rebel lines. The impression gains ground that the bulk of Arabi Pasha's men have been withdrawn from Kafr-el-Dwar." Only six dead Arabs were found on the field of battle at Ramses, but inside Ramses were found several small pyramids of stones freshly erected, beneath which dead natives were probably buried. Though the engage, ment was not serious, so far ia hard fighting is concerned, the soldiers acted splendidly. Tht difficulties of the ground were fearful, while the heat of the sun defies exaggeration. General Wolseley's object has been achieved, says a dispatch, and the British have gained so much more fresh water, for the canal had been carefully dammed at Ramses.
