A fow days ago a well-dressed young man entered an exprrea office in Cinmail i nn atl, and said to tbe obliging money dark tbmt he wtobed to mod tome monev to hie wife; that she live in Boston id a flat, and that, her sometimes ke to now how to would be absolutely bring he would it sometimes tampered with, send it so that uife.

The gentleman replied that he had lots of them, and putting bis hand in Ids pocket, he brought out a bundle of papere. After examining several in succession, a broad smile spread over bis countenance, and, with a half-doubtful expression, said: "Are you a married man?" The clerk answered that he was. "Well, then," said be, "look at this," banding over one of the letters. The clerk looked and found the cause of the young man's amusement to be that the letter was signed not with his wife's name, but with the endearing substitute, "Your ootsey tootsey," and it turned out they were all so. The clerk then said: "Well, cut one of them off, and the agent will cause her to duplicate it." The gentleman, after some hesitation, agreed, remarking: "I'll do it, but when I get home I will expect some lively hairpulling.

Department of the Intebior General Land Office. Washington, Jane 13,1881 Hon. Martin U. Houec ef Jlepneeentatives Sie received, by reference from the Department, the letteraddrresed to you by Mr. George E.

White, dated Clancy, Montana Territory, March 23,1882, and by you referred to the Honorable Secretary of the Interior for information in regard to the views of tbe Department in relation to cutting timber for domestic uses. I would rrepectfolly state that by the act of June 3, 1878. and the rules and regulations ot the Department prescribed thereunder, to which your correspondent refers, timber growing on the mineral landa of the United States in Montana may be cut and removed for mining and the other purposes named in saidact, by individuals for their own individual use, but not for purposes of sale or merchandise; and toe same may be manufteetured for them into such lumber as they may desire for their own more convenient use. But they are prohibited from contracting with others to deliver to them logs or lumber derived from the publie timber; and loggers, saw mill owners, or operators, andlumbitedfi umber market with derived from tbe publier dealers are prohibited from purchasing and from selling to individuals, and from supplying the li timber or luml lie domain. Your correspondent is not prohibited from building a sawmill to cut lumber tor bis own use or for his neighbors, (as be states), provided he keeps within the terms of the law, and dore not cut the innifi rposre lation and bore only Ihr ved, and not for the matimber for gain, the labor terial.

It la in contemplation to change somewhat the present rules and regulations referred to, but until such change shall have been made and promulgated, they will continue in force. Although the Government desires to set as liberally as possible with settlers and others, it wishes to protect the public timber from any and rit ich tion to which it is of cupidity and recklessn necessitates and restrictions upon the method of procuring the public timber. In conclusion, I rrepectfolly beg leave to state that, ao far as this office is aware, Mr. White is in error respecting toe use of the publie timber by one dass of men with impunity, while others are subject to fine and imprisonment therefor. Hitherto the Government has had intended a timber agent to duty in that Territory at no miriant day.

McFarland, Commissioner. APPEAL OF MR. MAGINNI8 TO SECRETARY TELLER. House of Representatives, Washington, May 22,1882. To the Honorable the Secretary of the Interior: I have the honor to inclose a letter from the Coi.iraisrionerof toe General LandOffiec in relation to toe conditions under which timbre may be cut for domestic purprere in the Territories of the Unitea States.

I respeetfolly protest against toe construction given to the acts of Cong ress extending the privilege of people or the ln this etter, and especially to protest against former instructions from toe General Land Office, which have always serened to me to have been diligently framed in order to thwart instead of to carry out the generous intentions of Certainly Congress never intended to overturn the ordinary pro curere of civilised society in those Territories and to make every man his own woodchopper or lumberman. Nor did Congress intend to confine the cutting of necessary timber to "mineral for I remember well tbe debates on this sub. ect, and the intent of three words waa to describe certain States and Territories in which mining was a predominant industry. I would rrepectfolly ask for a revision of toe instructions ofthe Department. I have the honor to be, Very truly your obedient servant, Martin Maoinnis.

ANSWER OF THE SECRETARY. Department of the Interior, Washington, May 29,1882. Hon. Martin Maginni Home of bave received your letter of the 22d indoreinga letter addressed to eu, on the 23d (returned herewith) by tbe Commissioner ofthe General Land Office, in regard to cutting timber from public lands in the Territories for domestic uses, and asking for a revision of the instructions of tbe DeE srtinenton the subject. I have tbe onor to inclose herewith a copy of my letter to tbe Commissioner of the modifying tbe previous rulings in this matter.

Very Respectfully, H. M. Teller, Secretary. THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE MAINTAINED. Department ok the Interior,) Washington, May 25,1882.

7b the Vommhnioncr of the Land Office: attention has been called to a number of cases reported by Special Agent Harlan, of so-called trespasses in cutting timber on the mineral lands in the Territory of Dakota, notably the cases of N. P. Hardin, who is charged with cutting 72 cords of wood; Peter T. Bye, charged with catting 25 cords; Henry wre with cutting 60 cords; H. Damon, a like amount; Frank Keller, 47 cords; and Albert Holtman, 100 cords.

All of this wood appears to have been cat off of tbe mineral landa of the United States. It also appears by tbe report of the special agent that the persons charged with the trespass have in cutting this wood conformed to the rules of the Department aa to the sise of timber to be cut, and it is now proposed compromise with these persons by allowing them to pay for tbe wood cut at tbe rate of fifty cents per cord. I do not think on the statement ot facts made by Special Agent Harian in the case of Peter T. Bye that he has been guilty of trespass in cutting such wood. I understand tbe ftects are substantially the tame in all the cases mentioned.

The act of Congress approved June 3, 1878, entitled "An act authorizing tbe citisens of Colorado, Nevada and the Territories to fell and remove timber from the public domain for mining and domestic purposes" clearly authorizre tbe cutting of timber on tbe mineral lands of the United States for domestic use. It does not appear that Peter Bye or any other of tbe parties complained of cut tbe wood for transportation from the Territory, and if cut for use in Dakota it is clearly for domestic use. It has been alleged that the act of June 3, 1878, does not apply to persons cutting timber on mineral lands for sale, and that to enable any person to have tbe benefit of tiiat act he must cut the timbre for his personal use and not for sale. Such a construction defeats tbe very intent of the act, which was to allow tbe settlers on the mineral lends to have the benefit of the timber thereon growing for use within the Territory where it grew. It cannot be supposed that Congress intended to say by that act to the inhabitants of the mineral regions that while they might go on the lands of tbe United States and cut timber for their own use yet they could not employ others to do it for them or purchase it of those who bad cot and prepared it for use.

Large and prosperous communities had settled on the mineral lands ef the United States by and with tbe consent of Congress, statutes had been dedaring such occupation lawful, anc provisions were made for securing title to mines that should be discovered and on such lands. Yet ne provision been made by which title could be made to the timbre growing on such land until a mine bad been discovered tbreon. To have restricted tbe inhabitants to the use of such timber as should be found on the mineral claims have been folly, for in many instances the mineral claims are destitute of timber. Whole districts are frequently compelled to secure their supply outside of their districts, either because the timber in such districts has been cut off and used, or because tbe district was without timber when first settled. Tbe area of timber oneupied by actually located mineral claims is en tirely too small to supply the communities with timber from such claims alone, and so it became a necessity to appropriate the timber on public lands, in tbe absence of law authorizing the purchi of either the timber or tbe lana.

From the first settlement of tbe mineral regions to 1878 snch bad been the custom of miners in all the mineral regions. Cities and towns with and schoolhousre bad been built with tbe timbre so taken from the public land. Appeals bad been made to Congress from time to time to provide by law for securing the title to toe timbre on the mineral landa. Con gress with the wise of keeping the mineral lands of united Btatre open to flirther exploration and occupation, had declined to pass any law by which the timber on snch lands could be monopolized lators and capitalists, wood oppers and lumbermen had from the first settlement of the mineral regions cut from the mineral lands wood mining timbers, lumber for building, and sold the same to those who could not or did not wish to cut timber for their own use. It was practically Impossible for the mill-men, the miners and other inhabitants of tbe country to go ont and fell tbe (roes that are to be used to build their mills, timber their mines or supply their families with AmL About the time of the passage of the act of 1878 it was alleged that such catting was in violation or the law and ought not to be allowed.

To have prevented snch catting would have compelled the abandonment of nearly if not quite all tbe mineral regions ofthe States and Territories named in toe act. The set waa passed to establish by positive enactment a right claimed and exercised without interference on the part of the Government for a period of about thirty yeara, and the construction heretofore given to it by tbe Department has defeated tbe purpose of the act and baa not been of advantage either to the gov iding lands. In most people rreic crament or tbe on such mineral of the regions included in tbe act referred to the timbre of but little value for use outside of the neighborhood in which it grows. Comparatively a small amount of it would bear transportation out of the State or Territory, and it cannot be used more advantageously to the people and tbe government than in the production of precious metals. If tbe timber is cut, having reference to the rules ofthe Department as to size, no complaint onght to be made.

It has been suggested that tbe use of wood in quartz mills and reduction works in the mineral regions is not a use for mining purposes. I do not think there is anything in that suggestion. Quartz mills and reduction works are indispensable to a mining camp and such use is clearly within the provisions of the law and the consumer as fully rotected by it as if lie consumed it in is dwelling. You will therefore instruct the special agents now in tbe Htates and Territories named in the act of June 3,1878, to conform to the suggestions herein. The great object of the Governmental supervision ofthe cutting of timber in those States and Territories ought not to be to compel payment for timber so out, hut to prevent unnecessary waste, the cutting of the small trees under the size prescrilied by the Department, ami to prevent waste by fires and other means.

Very respectfully, H. M. Teller, London, June 13. Time s' Cairo special says: Unless there is an overwhelming Turkish force at Alexandria before 8nnday there will be a worse outbreak than last Sunday. J.
