Ex-SoWiers and tlie  Homestead Laws.
I take the' liberty of sending you the follow- •
ing:, believing that the information therein
Contained will*prove of great value to ex-soldiers who have heretofore made homestead
entries or who may contemplate such action,
and should be widely disseminated.
The Commissioner of the GeneralLand Office was asked: " Whetbert after a soldier has
in person or by agent made an entry for a certain quarter section he may assign his interest
thereinto another before he has commenced
his residence on and improvement of the
land? *■ * * If *the soldier should so'vacate
his entry or fail to appear within six months,
could he at some future time enter upon other
laud?"
Tne following is a copy of the response
made bjr the Commissioner:
" In reply I have to inform you that a soldier cannot make an oDg.ual homestead entry
by attorney or agent, lie may file a homestead declaratory statement by agent [Revised
Statutes Sec. &0.)*|, or, having made a homestead entry prior to June 23,1SU,.± or less than
ll>U acres, he may make a« additional entry LKe-
vised Statutes Sec. 230i>J tor suoh quantitv of
land as may be necessary to aggregate with
his original homestead IliO acres, and this additional entry may be located by an agent
duly autnorized by power of attorney, and
the party is not required to reside upon or
cultivate the land embraced in such
additional .entry,, provided that he
shall have complied with all legal
requirements respecting his original entry. In
the event that the original entry of a soldier
made prior to June 2,% 1B74, has been canceled
for any reason—the area,of land'embraced in
such entry being less than 160 acres—the party's
right to an additional entry still exists, but he
will be required to Teside upon and improve
the land embraced in his additional entry the
same as though the original entry had not
been initiated.
"A soldier within the meaning of "this letter
is a person who served during the war of the
rebellion for ninety days or mo.re in rthe army
of the United States, and who was honorably
discharged therefrom. The same privileges
are extended to persons who served as above
in the navy or marine corps and received
honorable discharges.
"Anyperson, soldier or citizen, who should
make ahomestead entry under existing laws
and fail to comply with legal requirements
respecting residence and improvements will,
upon the cancellation of his-or her entry by
reason of such failure, forfeit all rights under
the Homestead laws* and cannot thereafter
make a homestead entry.
"The fuihg of a homestead declaratory
statement "under section 2,809 Revised Statutes secures to the party a preference right to
make a homestead entry for the land filed
.upon within six months from the date of filing. Should a party who had made such a
filing fail to make a homestead entry for the
land filed upon, such failure would not
-operate to defeat his right to make a homestead entry for such land if no adverse claim
tor the same appears, or, if the land filed upon
shall have been otherwise disposed of, he may
legally make'a homestead entry for any
other vacant unappropriated public land not
. exceeding in area the maximum quantity allowed by law.*"' .'
The object of the Commissioner in the
above letter was to clearly distinguish between an actual homestead entry and a mere
declaration of intention to make su*ch entry.
The filing of a declaratory statement by a
soldier gives him no title to the land, but
only serves, to notify the World that he intends
to make entry of the land filed upon. If he
fails to make entry of the land within six
months from date of filing, his claim expires
by statutory limitation and his risrhts tinder
section 2,309 Revised Statutes are exhausted,
and he cannot legally file another declaratory
statement for homestead purposes. His right
tomake a'nQmfestead entry'remains intact,
however, and he may at any future time
make such entry for the land filed upon {if
vacant) or for o'.her lana subject to disposal
under the Homestead laws, with the same
privileges-as though he had not filed the declaratory statement.
Many persons erroneously suppose that filing a homestead  declaratory statement   is
equivalent to making a homestead, entry, and
that having made such filing nothing more is
required of them than to go upon.the land to
reside^and aff the proper time  make final,
proof.   TO correct this false impression I have
taken the trouble to write and send you the
above, hoping that it may have the benefit of
extensive circulation  among   soldiers,   and
l prove the means of onauling them to better
, know and protect their rights.— Washington

few weeks later, she mentioned the
dream. It turned out that they had
that very day entered a hearse for shelter from a storm, and had been driven
in it to Paris. Again, Mr. Monkhouse,
incumbent of Newsteads, near Keswick,
dreamed thrice in one night that a bank
had failed, and next day withdrew $25,-

—One striking illustration of slovenly
haste in law-making is furnished by a
law that passed the Rhpde Island* Senate at its present session. It enacted
that "no clergyman in Rhode Island
can join persons in marriage unless he
has filed in the Town Clerk's office a
certificate of his ordination from the
authorities by whom he was ordained,
or a copy of the records of the religious
denomination showing him to have Deen
ordained." This law if put into effect,
would include in its prohibition the best
•known and most distinguished clergymen and Bishops of the State. Some of
them, who have officiated for a generation or inpre, would have found*it difficult or impossible, after so long a time,
to obtain the required certificate, and
might have been wholly deprived of the
power of wedding the members of their
own congregations.   .
Feasting In India.
Squatting in the center of piles of various delicacies is the vendor. And curious
are these sweets. Milky cream and
coarse brown sugar are their chief ingredients. No attempt is made at decoration. In fact, the native would not
appreciate anything which savored of
delicacy. His cookery is always strong.
Horrid garlic, greasy ghi, or clarified
butter—condiments at which the European would sicken — are the bonne
touches of their culinary efforts. The
quantity of sweets a strong man consumes borders upon the marvelous.
The reason is of easy account. A Hindu,
by Ms religion, is forbidden to eat meat,
and the most nourishing- food he can
then obtain is saccharine matter. A
sweetmeat called jellabi is in high
esteem. This is made in imitation of a
hollow coil of rope and filled with
treacle. A mouthful to a tender stomach is provocative of cholera or biliousness for at least a month. But the
Englisli schoolboy has been known to
compete with the Hindoo in such gastronomic feat; for one boy has been
known to eat, at a sitting, about twelve
solid pounds. The doctors prophesied
of him immediate death, but he smiled
sickly and thought a draught of milk
would set him right.
In all great native feasts confectionery
takes an important place. First, as the
guests arrange themselves, is handed
round in a silver tray the attar, a scent
procured from the rose. This is rubbed
into the clothes of the guests. Then
follow the pan and betel. This is the
nut of the areca pounded, and with lime
inclosed in a large, green succulent
leaf: It is an appetizer, and eaten in
the same manner as a European would
drink, just before dinner, sherry and
bitters. The taste is acid, but withal
pleasant, and the lime brightly reddens
the lips. This is greatly admired by the
natives. Then follow rice, sugar and
milk, and pound upon pound of the
coarsest lollypops. Not a word is"
spoken during the meal. .Each man is
bent upon his meal, and those who wishi
to highly honor their host tie around
their stomach, before sitting down, a
tender thread. When this breaks the
gentleman thinks he has satisfied his
appetite. As when in olden times in
Europe "a lady thought she paid a compliment to her .host When she said she
had been so drunk as to forget how she
reached home, so a native of a certain
caste thinks he is courteous when he
says the repast was so good as to cause
severe indigestion. It is not an uncommon thing after a grand feast that at
least two or three people die from over-
gorging; and then another feast has to
be given, at which, probably, some
more die. Thus is Death's sickle not
permitted to rust. A sweetmeat shop is
a frequented place, not only by the
younger members of the community,
but by the sage and hoary. But nothing
can be bought without wrangling..
Though a man may buy a pound of the
self-same article for ten years running,
he would eaeh time try to reduce- the
price, and the seller, knowing this
peculiarity, invariably asks about double
the real price.—Californian.

- A Ghost in Africa.
On the fifth day of our march from
lendwe, I was, as usual, considerably
in front of my men, who with their
loads were not able to walk as fast as
myself. The sky threatened a storm,
which made me hasten to reach Pam-
iilo. On approaching the village nobody was to be seen, the natives being
either out in the fields or in their
houses out of the rain. The stockade
presented a rather uninviting appearance, being ornamented with a few hundred human skulls in all conditions,
from the freshly stuck up head to the
bleached cranium and all apparently
snapping their jaws at the thought of a
new companion as the wind wheeled
them backward and forward. However the rain was falling fast and there
was no use of being squeamish. So into the village I marched unnoticed, and
finding out a hut with a broad overhanging eave, I took refuge
out of sight waiting till my men
came forward in order that I
might appear with appropriate pomp.
1 had been thus ensconced nearly ten
minutes when suddenly the stillness of
the village was broken by a loud peculiar shout. This was almost immediately taken up from every quarter of
the village, until every stone seemed to
yelLout the strange cry. Drums added
to the uproar, while women screamed
and the men were seen to hurry-toward
the gates, shouting and brandishing
their spears. I was very much astonished at this, but, supposing it was simply the fashionable way of receiving a
caravan, I remained still, expecting my
men every minute. However, the uproar continued without abatement, and
my men did not appear. Thinking
there must be something wrong, " 1
emerged from nry cover.
To my surprise I found the gates-
closed and the stockade and crows-
nests manned by an excited multitude,
brandishing their spears at some apparent enemy outside. It instantly
flashed upon me that I was a prisoner
and cut off from my men'. My presence
in the village was evidently unknown.
For, on my appearance among them
every voice was silent, and the once excited multitude seemed to have become
paralyzed with fear. I was supposed
to be a ghost. Seeing th's, 1 recovered
niy presence of mind, and striking an
attitude, like Hamlet's ghost, I moved
forward with slow deliberate steps, and
a severe expression of face.. At each
step the warriors recoiled. Struck with
awe, they looked at me with breathless
silence. This was too much forme,
and unable to keep up the character, I
burst out out with an irrepressible roar
of laughter. The effect of that laugh
was tremendous. The amazed savages
recoiled still further, leaving the gate
free. With a bound I reached it, and
before they could" recover their,senses
it was open and I was outside, to the
itnbounded joy of the men who wqre
trembling for my safety.—J. T(iompso?i,
