Miller, tho priuio mover, the man who prepnml tho way and kept it in rannina; order from tbo Missouri to the raoiBo, is now a resident of this city, aud Id hair is onlv streaked with gray, ao fast do things ohangfl in tho west. In an early day the firm of Kurscll, Majors, Waddell &, Co., were nmong tho largest contractors in the United States, their liusiness sometimes amounting to $0,000,000 aunuully. Mr. Miller was the "Co.," tho younget member of the firm, anil in a great meanuro the life tf it. Mails were very irregular, the stago lines taking a weekly which was some times lout, in fact was exttemely fortn nat to git through. Tliis was conducted at a tremendous cost. There was groat rivalry between the at it go and ocean lines, tho latter struggling for contracts for taking the mail3 from Now York by steamer to the Isthmus, across this, ami again by steamer up the western coast. Tho mail which went overland went by the northern route through New Mexico and Arizona. Tho contracting firm above mentioned had the control of the central route, by Kearney, Julesburg, Tort Lar araio and Salt Lake. Teoplo insisted that this routo was impracticable, and the idoi of a daily mail over it was pooh-poohed most vigorously. Mr. Mil ler persuaded his more conservative partners that such a mail could be car ried. From this idea grew the pony ex press, the famo of which was soon world wido. He was given two months, Feb ruary ond March, 1801, to equip the line with stock and stations, which ho did at a cost of 80,000. It was thought that the lino would support itself, so tho pro prietors expected not to be out more than the original investment. It could hardly be said that it did pay, but it demonstrated what could be done, and encouraged the railroad and the wire to follow in its wake. Trevious to this time there hud been limited express lines of this kind, but nothing on so gigantic a scale. Mr. Miller had been over tho route enough to know what had been done. lie said that Salt Lake could be reached from St. Joe in ten days and the coast in live days moro. On the 3d of April the ponies were started from each end of tho lino. By this time the confidence of Miller had proved infections and ItiiHsell was just as confident. Tho N w York steamer company were confident, too, but not in the same way. So a bet was made. It was a pretty good-sized bet, boing for $50,000 a side. Tlio raco began and was watched with breathless interest. Station after station was passed. The pony from the ocean anttlio pony from the valley panted toward each other, with the hundreds of miles between them, melting away. At each station there was another horso sad dled and rider ready spurred. The mail bag was tossed from ono to tho other.and on sped, liko the wind, tho fresh horse and rider. One boy on the first trip was lost in a canyon of snow. For four precious hours he wandered. Then ho Btarted on with desperate vigor. An other was lost in the' Platte. The horse he rode was drowned. But tho rider swam out with his mail and footed it to tho next station. Here his relief was in waiting, and the flight was taken up agaiu. Would the riders and the horses, with their darins and energy, win? Would the accident and the strangeness of the trial maku them lose? No one could tell. The days passed. Ihe po nies neared each other. They passed. The riders gave a wild hurrah. On and on; whip and spur. Ten days ore gone, and the ponies have kept up to the mark. Fifteen. At four o'clock the westward bound must be in Sacramento. The nonn has cussed, and the minutes are be ing counted. Half past threo. Will the bravo rider be on hand? As yet there is no sign. With only thirty minutes to arjave Russell wants; o Uoublo uis vet. Then a speck of dust is seen. It grows to a cloud. The rider waves his hat. Tho peoplo shout. The ponyexpress has crossed the Great American desert. Vie- torv! There is still tweDty minutes grace. This speed was always kept up ju3t as if there were fcixi.uuu as siaKe uauy. it was the same for months, when the complications of the war turned every thing unside down. The riders went to do battle, the stations were abundoned, contracts went to other hands, and grass grow over the trail. But soon the stage used it and the telegraph lino was not far behind, while those who have rushed across the plains by steam know what followed these innovations. The riders of the Donv express were oil young, wiry fellows, whose very love of excitement and danger had brought them to the frontier. In this occupation they l.ail their fill. The individual adventures wonld fill a volume. The life, with its exposures and hardship, was a wearing one. What has become of tho riders now is a question. MaDy of them have followed the frontier, and will stay on ita fnr nntil thev die. Many are dead already. One, named Murray, recently died in Salt Lake. From the stripling of the 'CO's be came to weigh 220 pounds. He made quite a reputation as a desperate character. As one who knew him" said, "He got too big to ride a nrniT. but had a eood build for holding un Btaces." One of the most daring of tLe crowd roue into wi uvui eighty miles this side, through the wild nt nart of the route. It was a hard task, but ttie lad was tqnal to it, doing the work of about four men. lie aiter wards joined the confederate army, and dint nn a aouthtrn battlefield. These riders were of a class similar to cowbows of the present day, ready for a fight or a frolic, and entering either with the determination to make the most of it. They were loyal to each other and their friends. There was only one mail lost by them, and that happened to 1" of little vaJuo. It wan lobt in Kgau's Can yon when the rider in chure wn at tacked by Indians, hit horse killed, atd he himself wounded. The company tried to get tho lloverumeiit to puuisli the Indiuns for thin, but there was an other matter for 1'ocle Sam to attend to just then. So Miller took seventy fivo men, weut out aud killed a few of tho playful savages, and found thut they kept out of tho way very nicely forever after. The charges for carrying luttt'ts were $5 pur ontico or fraction thereof. This was afterward reduced to half that amount, and then a nort of paper known as "l'cny Express" was invented, its best point being that it weighed almost nothing. The contents of un eight pagn paper ci.nld be written upon it and sent for $2 50. Tho income of the concern whilo run ning averaged $500 per day. Some very valuable document were canicd, and in every cae arrived in good order. Eng land was ut that time having a little ar gument with China. Imports frcm the English fquadrom in Chinese waters to tho homo Government were carried by this route, it being tho quickest and saf est. One of these official papers weighed so much that tho charges upon it were 135. Eastern Paper. A Patriotic ilr', Trobably no country can furnish moro striking proots of patriotism iu tho sac rifices voluntarily roado by individuals than tho great German nation, no matter of what circle or what section. During the Seven years' War, the sacrifices made by individual Prussians to sustain tho shattered fortunes of the monarch whom they loved were such as to challengo the admiration of friend and enemy alike. But tho most wonderful instances of per sonal sacrifico and heroism are to be found in the story of Napoleon's inva sion, 1813. Ir. looking over a few pages of thut history I came across the follow ing incident, which I thought worthy of being transcribed for a place by itself. A Silesian girl, of tender age, when the French were threatening her native land, saw her neighbors ond older mem bors of her own family earnestly at work to help repel tho invader; and when the thought canio upen her that she could do nothing she was in sore distress so much so that Bhe went away into the lit tle garden of her father's cot, where she sat down and wept. By and by she dashed away the tears, thinking to siuk upon her knees and pray. As she did this, she gathered the flowing tresses of her hair with which to wipe her cheeks. That hair was long and silken, of a gold en lustre, and pronounced beautiful. A happy thought strucK her. She sprang to her feet, ond hastened into the cot; where, without speaking to any one of tcr purpose, she put on her hat and mantle, nnd hurried away. It was early in the day when she set forth; and before noon she had walked ten miles, to Breslau, whero she was for tunate enough to hit upon a hair dresser as honest, if not so patriotic, as herself. Yet, he was a sterling patriot. Tho girl told him her simplo story told it with all tho eloquence of her native modesty ond truth. She wanted to soli aer hair-the whole of it for all it would bring, that she might give tho money toward the need of her country. The hair-dresser examined tho hair, ond presently told the girl thot ho would not set a price upon it then. Ho frankly confessed that it was tho most beautiful hair, and the most valuable, ho had ever seen. She had hoped that she might ob tain two dollars for it. Ho had told her ho would give her two dollars at that time; but that was far from tho worth of tho hair. She should let him cut it off, and do the best he could with it, and when he had sold it ho would call upon lier ond make a liml settlement; to all of which she gladly assented. And then she sat down and let him tolfc her beautiful hair tho pride of her parents, and tho delight of her friends. He cut it very carefully, however, leav ing a few pretty ringlets over the fore head; so that, with a neat little cap, she would still have a trace of tho beautiful hair left. Never mind what was said when she got home; only we will record that her sublime spirit of patriotism was recognized and applauded, which wus re ward enough for her. At Bieslau, tho hair dresser exhibited the breatiful tresses that had come into Lis possession, and told tho story of tho girf who hud made the lieroio sacrifice. One wealthy lady offeiul him a hundred dollars for the hair, cash, on the spot; but he would not sell it so. He made it np into bracelets and neck-chains made from the hair of a young patriot who loved her country moro than she loved her own beauty. And at tho ecd of ono month, he appeared at tho humble cot, and caused the chief magistrate of the village to be called in, and into his hands he gave two hundred dollars as the contribution of tho younjr ffirl to the needs of her own country in its hour of sore distress! And a few dallars more no gave to the girl, for her own use, in pri vate; and this, with his consent, she gave (o a poor family, all of whose sons had gone into the army. That may certainly bo called Individ ual patriotism! Lire Stock in Mldummer. This is a trying time for all kinds of farm animalsjpantures are usually short, old grain is high, and the new not in the best condition for feeding. It is well to make tho most of wooded pastures, where the animals can enjoy the shade during tho hot days, and get a part of their living from the nnderbrosh. A good supply of fodder corn helps to keep the cows up to their full flow of milk, and the other live stock in good health and flesh. Horses are often ex tremely annoyed by flies, especially when in a shadeless pasture. It is best to let them stand in a dark stable during mid-day, and then turn them out near nightfall. Horses, when at work, need the protection of a fly-sheet. This is easily made and prevents much fretting. Lambs are now separated from the ewes, and should be pastured as far apart as possible. Place some wethers with the lambs to lead the flock, and in a few weeks the lambs will be entirely weaned. Pigs for early market need to be pushed vigorously, with abundant food at the trough. The apple orchard makes a pasture for swine. The falling fruit is usually wormy, and the pigs in eating it, destroy hosts "of insects, to the mutual benefit of the swics and the orchard. Charlotte O'.Vlf, Laborer. The freshly hewn rifek glitte'ed in tho hot sun and a film of dust floated over the triangular spaco ot Second oviuue and Seventieth street, whore contractors nre clearing away a mas of solid stone. Men were sitting cross leggd breaking the shattered bowlders to pieces, and oi hers wero about tilling their carts with the fragments. Among the Uluiers, working liardor than any of them, and moro skilfully as well, was a woman 22 years of age. Her face was tanned, her clothing was soiled aud the apron about her head was neither clean nor pictur esque. But her face was not uncomely and her actions wero markod by a mod ety aud rci-trotnt ill-attuned to her oc cupation. An old mun, fully four-ccoro years of age, stood beside her, and w hen the cart was filled ho mounted to tho seat and drove away. Tho old mun and young woman have been a wonder in the neighborhood. The novelty of a woman taking to such a pur' suit has been a source of ceaseless com ment. Tho superintendent of tho work said bo knew nothing of her. The stone was given to the carters and they were paid fifteen cents a load for taking it to a boat at the f jot of the street. The wo man and tho old mau had bceu among the first to avail themselves cf the em ployment. 'J he mau was too aged ond decrepit to do more than drive tho cart. Tho harder work was left to the woman. A reporter questioned tho female laborer, who saht: "My nameisCharli.tto O'Neil. I could find no other work to do. My father has been too sick to do uuything for ever so long. This old man and I are tho only support ot the family. Ho has lived w ith us for a long timo and has known us for nianv years. We call him Bess Willis, and he is over 80 years of nge. Wo live on tho rocks ut tho foot of Sev enty second street, but we have not much of a homo there." The woman spoko the truth. Tho abodo of the O'Neil's is perhaps as odd a one os can be found in this city or its Biiburbs. Perched upon an elevation just off the eastern boulevards is a Ion;;, straggling structure which looks us thouuh a pull ( f wind would topple it over. A crazy gate, bigger than a barn door and fastened only by a bit of wire, pens uptn a lot with a battered, tumble down hutch of a building at one end. When the reportor passed mto the en closure yesterday ho found, among a scoro of dogs and in a squalor oi manure heaps, rusted axles, broken wheels and scattered bricks, a gray-haired woman. No stranger collection of junk was ever seen than that which littered the place. Thero were broken laddors, shattered shutters, unwlmeled burrows, crushed cans, loosened heddiug, straw and hay. The area, closed iu by pieces of tin roof ing and old palings, was a picture of desolutiou. Tho building at the extremity was lit tle more than a lot of worm eat,en boards propped by a few crazy posts. In ono end a cow was stabled. In tho other wero a bed, n few boxes and an old stove. The roof if roof it could ue called was full of chunks and openings through which the rains could easily pour. Thero was no sign of a door to tho habitation. In tho muck outside tho veriest skeleton of a calf tottered about. This was the homo of the O'Neils. Tho gray haired woman was Mrs. O'Neil. Her account of their taking lo sucfi queer lodgings was a painful recital. Joseph O'Neil, her husband, hod been o boss mason. Ho hud been built many pretentious houses ond acquired some means. Threo vears oco he owned a house ond lot in Sovouty-flrst street. But reverses come. Ho lost heart, becomo improvident, fell sick ond deprived of everything, tlie luniiiy came to tins tick ety shanty for shelter. Boss Willis had known the fauiilyin their better days. He, too, had gone to seed, but ho hud dragged himself from tho aslmhousc, where he had sought aid in his old days, and did what he could to support thorn It was while in this strait that Charlotto O'Neil becran her nnfominine work They had a horse still a worn, decrepit bock but still able to go about in har ness. So old Boss Willis took tho roins, and the young woman plodded along with him and turned her hand to the strange employment which has made her a local curiosity. Modem (Hants.
