A SAD STORY.
Bin Bison' waR a juiunff Crow chief,
Lame Spider was a Sioux,
While both a Blackfoot maiden now
Those Injuns tried to woo;
Her name was Hatv-lipperf Jane, or
' "Tiio-Sqnaw-that-w eitfhed-a-Ton,"
Airi 'moiiyst her tribe for beauty she
Did bear away the bun.
At agency Lame Spider stayed,
A peaceful T'3d man there,
And av'ry day his rations drew
Hut sold what he could spare
To trader for firo-water, and
hen the 'tunk was well rilled up,
VJ'tMair o'er to tiit? rSbytikfi.-t c.t. n;i w
With Hare-lf iped, Jaue to sup.
Then warbled forth bi Bison bold;
"We'll battle for this squaw.
I'm the Rocky Mountain Terror -t
With blood I till my craw!
I've a contract with tiie b hs of
The happy htitftin fjrmuJ
To till tite place so with bare fists
'11 kill yon ia oue rouul."
WiHare-ippe J as refereo,
They fought au awful lit.
First iJiider's eye wss jjoael riifht out,
Iheu Bisor. s err was bit;
Next Spider's u.jsa wus c hawed ifr clean,
And Bwoa lostP a,i toeti,.
While Spider's skTuacu was kicked in
Aud couldn't breath a breeth.
These savages were banged up so
'hen they were pulled apart,
That Hare-lipped Jaue went back on both,
And said with "ohio"-most tart:
CSSQSPAok like chromos. Go and soak
Each individ-yul head0
And know that ere another moon
Some Rlackfoot chief I'll wed."
: HE CAUGHT IT.

OF OTHER DAYS.
A California correspondent
writes: Cave City is in the east
ern part of Calaveras county. It
once contained 1000 inhabitants,
but on the failure yf the gravel
unties tlie imputation aimmisiieu
as in other miningdtowns, till at
present the "city" consists .of a
hotel, a saloon and a haystack. A
few of the curiosities of early times
still remain to the place. One of
these is tie graveyard on the hill
side above the town. It contains
sixteen graves, fifteen St them
filled bymen who died with their
boots on between 'SOand'otJ. The
graves at one time were inclosed
by neat fences, but these have
rotted away like the bodies they

the poor fellows will remain. An
other of the curiosities is the great
cave from which the place took its
name, and well it may be called
jrcat, not only from itsextent, but
for its great beauty also. The cave
has thesappearance of favmg been
at some time the subterranean Rit-
let for some large lake, as it showsf
beyond doul5t"great traces of

large chambers with narrow pas-
sages leading irom one to anotner.
The roofs ami sides are covered
with beautiful formations. Many
of them, three feet in length, are
pendant from the ceiling; and glit
ter in. the lamp-light like thou
sands of diamonds. There is an
other cavern near i& town called
the Skull cave, but from tflKs I
woiijhJ advise my friemK to stay
awayt It was discovered by some
Spaniards in 184-4, and the country
wWoXafter it, the word Cal
averas in Spanish miming 6kull.
This cave extends into the moun
tain aide tdxjut three hundred. eet;
tiud contains over one hundred
human skeletons Indians
have ik) traditions of how the skel
etons were put there, but I think it
was an oj.1 Indian camp, and tQit
in time of war the unfortunate
wretclw'were shut up in the cav
ern and perish for want of fotgl
and water. The skeletons are scat
tered all around as ifgthe creatures
hail been wanderincr about in tl?e
cavern and fallen dowi? -and died.
1 am told that w hen the cave was

number of flint arrow points and
other Indian weapons. All around
the place has a death-like appear

again.
W 11 EAT FARMING.
A buisness man of Walla Walla,
who owns 010 acres of laJ, instead
of allowing it to lmain a wild
waste, cultivateAt and makes it
produce its quota. Being unable
to attend to it himself, he "has
entered into a contract with a man
who undertakes to plough, seed
and look utter it in every way untilp1
it is harvested, or Srz.oO per acre.
The owner furnishes tW? seed and

the crop at the lowest possible
figures, .and calculates the price of
wheat is fifty cents per bushel, aud

included in this, as the money for
them is returned by the grain
dealers. At this rate there is no
reason why oyj wheat growers
should not become prosperous, for
(die average yield per acre, with
anything like farming, is alkthe
way from twenty-five to lO'ty
bushels per acre, and is nearer
forty than twenty-five; and again
iustead of fifty cents per bushel,
the price,- as at present, is about
sixty-five cents, which leaves a
much larger margin. Of course
this only applies to land that has
been broken aud not to wiia lanus.

SP01LINQ A PRETTY PICTURE.
Mr. A. F. Parker, who sold hid
print-shop aud struck outofor the
Couer d'Alene mines, sends back
some notes on his trip while en
route, from OvhicJ we exfcf&t ho
following:
After crossing the open prairie
the trail takes up the hills and
thence across the basaltic tablo
lands, whence it descends abruptly
into a tributary canyon of the St.
Joe, where we made camp for the
night and found ice an inch thick
in our gold pan next morning. We
were up at daylight, broke camp
and headed down the canyon and
soon arrived at St. Joe lake, from
whence the vapors were rising
heavily. Following around its
westn shore we found an encamp
ment of half a dozen Indian lodges
on an arm of the lake, and the
scene presented as pretty a picture
of Indian lire in an Indian country
aa i evei beheld.'
lhe air was
chill, but tlie sun v3?is signing
brightly, faft dissipating the va
pors rising from the lakeoas we
rounded the southern shos of ita
glistening surface pd beheld in a
shtered cove flie conicaforms of
the lodges whose white drapery
glistenetr with the fastodissolving
frost-crystals, and from whose apex
Hspirai wreames oi sujont; uuiu una
campfires ascende lazily heaven
ward. Cigar-shaped birch-bark
ennues floated gracefully on the
waters, or were hauled, high and
dry, on the beaqjh, where, with their
red sides, painted ends and gaping
interiors, they looked like some
stranded aquatic monsters. A
horde of vigilant igs, with ears
Qnd tails erect, gave voiQ at our
approact?, and upon our arrival, a
half dtgenqsaddle-tmted children
of the forest gave us genteel greet
ing, lira Ime itself is but a tri
angular body of dead water, two
miles long by one'mile wide, and
folding part of the St. Joe river.
On its northern shore is a long
utrAtck of level meadow lnnd,
covered with heavy ggnss of this
season, the timber-clatPdiills, with
the snowy caps of inSJniain range
visible to the eastward. The
scene is pretty enough to look at
in the distance, but the enchant
ment is dissipated, like the morn
ing mist by the rising sun, as one
is brought face to face with the re
pulsive details whjjch confront youG
when brought into close contact
with the encampment. For pend
ing the transfeiD of our effects
BwingiiO our horses across the
cove, we had time to note that the
encampment was a lister of filth,
old packaddles, deerskins, fish
b()3os.?uid animal and vegetable
matter in all stages of putrefac
tion. The lodges which glistened
so brightly afar off developed into
scraps of dirty old flour and gunny
sacks; the graceful canoes smelled
to hiQven of rotten fish ; the dogs
stole and ate a bar of soap from
our packs, and to cap the climax,
two sqiw?rrels sat in the sun en
gaged iu the diverting exercise of
picking the grey backs off each

despit0these good traits of charac
ter their close acquaintance is not
desirable, and I coujd not help
thinking the good Jesuit fathers
who taught theihjcould have done

cleanly and less devout.
A flutter has been caused in
scientific circles by the announce
ment, in The Union M.ejjgnl of
June 2, of the discovery, on pierc
ing a new gallery in a coal mine at
Bully-Grenay (Pes-de-Calnis9, of
a series of very remarkable cav
erns. In the first were the intact
fossil bodies of a n9m, two women
and three0children. Beside them
were petrified pieces ofryooden
utensils and remains of mammals
and fish, as well a3 stone weapons.
A second subterranean cavern re
vealed eleven bodies of gigantic
size, the fossils of several animals,
and a great number of various ob
jects, including precious Ftones.
Into a third and large chamber the
miners could not enter, on account
of thp carbonic acid it contained.
If aliens turns out to be as true
as it appears to be, the existence
