For Bcarlett and Scarlett's Three Hundred

When the points of the Russian lances broke

And hejealled "Left wheel into line!" and they
wueeled and obeyed.
Then he looked at the host that had halted,he
Knew not whv.
And he turned half rouudtnd he bade his trump
eter sound :
"To the charge!" and he rode on ahead, as he
waved his blade
To the gallant Three Hundred, whose glory
will never die,
"Follow and up the hill !"

Down the hill, slowly, thousands of Russians
Drew to the valley, and halted at last on the
height ;
With a wing pushed out of the left, and a wing
to the right. ?
But Scarlet was far on ahead, and he dashed
up alone
Through the great gray slope of men; 5
And he whirled his saber, he held bis own
Like an Englishman there and then, ?
And the three that were nearest him followed
with force, '
"Wedged themselves in between horse aad horse,
Fought for their lives in the narrow gap j they
had made, J
Four amid thousands, and up the hill, up the

Galloped the gallant Three Hundred, the Heavy

Drove through the midst of the foe,
Plunged up and down, to and fro?

And some of us, all in amaze,
Who were held for awhile Irom the fight,
And were only standing at gaze.
When the dark'mufHed Russian crowd f
Folded its wings from the left and the right
And rolled them around like a cloud.
Oh! mad for the charge and the battle were we
When our own good red coats sank from

Like drops of blood in a dark gray sea;
And we turned to each other, muttering all dis

Struck with the sword-hand and slew;
Down with the bridle-hand drew
Under foot the:e in the fray;
Hanged like a storm, or stood like a rock

THE YELLOWSTOSE COUXTRY. j
There was a grand council of assembled
Crows at the agency during my visit, not less
than 3000 persons being present. They swarmed
all over the premises, passing freely in and out
of the court and through the halls, gathering
In groups, and transacting their little business
with the agent and his clerks; but there was
no unwarrantable intrusion into any of the
offices or agency quarters. There were sights
and novelties" as strange to some 01 tuem as to
rural visitors in a great city, yet none allowed
an idle curoisity to get the better of their de
corum. Doors of chambers and sleeping rooms
were left unlocked and open day and night, but
not the smallest trifle was pilfered by grown
person or child. Even the gTateful odors of
the kitchen did not induce the few who linger
ed near the open door to ask for a douceur de
cuisine. No treacherous knife point lifted the
hair of the sleeping whites. No tomahawks re
peated the massacre of White ri verjfor tile Crows
have made it a public boast for generations
that they have never killed a white man. Steal
horses they will when out on their foraging ex
peditions, for horse-flesh is fair plunder at all
times, and an expert horse-thief is accounted
next in honor and personal accomplishments
to a brave. (Some white people who become
inoculated with this idea, have attempted to
carry it out, and got hung.) Sometimes the

&S 3000 horses at a single raid. They seldom
steal from the whites. Sometimes they tem
porarily appropriate or borrow. In some cases,'
Crows have been killed by renegado white men,
hut the murder hat never been retaliated by
indiscriminate reprisal, according to tbelndian
code, but has been satisfactorily compromised
with the relatives of the murdered men by
gifts of ponies. Horses constitute the surplus
wealth of the tribe, aud pass current as money.
Kany of the chiefs dress expensively, a single
Jioliday dress costing fully $500. Some of the
dresses appropriated to dances and state occa
sions, cost even more, Their ordinary attire
is usually inexpensive, but generally of gaudy
cloths and flannels. One of the leading Crow
chiefs at present is known as "Smoky." He is
a f nil-blooded ncgTO from Missouri, and a very
civil fellow to every one. In times gone by,
not only negroes, but Mexicans, Frenchmen,
Irishmen and Americans have been adopted

achievement or mysterious performance is al
ways accounted as "big medicine," and entitled
to a proper recognition. By such deeds, as
well as by valor in war, men become chiefs.
It is to be hoped that the existing amicable re
lations with this very frieudly but brave tribe
niay-never be disturbed by designing specula
tors, dishonest agents or broken treaties. I
have heard the present officers of the agency
declared brothers in open council, and seen the
head chiefs place their own rich robes over
their shoulders in token of confidence and es
teem. ' No strangers are allowed upon the reserva
tion without permission, but the chiefs have
been liberal in granting stations to the stage
lines at every fifteen' miles, and are equally
generous in giving leave to small parties of
pportsmen who wis a to hunt. It was my good
fortune to accompany the officers of the agency
thirty-five miles up the Rosebud canyon to a
mountain lake, which temporarily receives
into its bosom the rushing torrent from its
birthplace among the peaks, and then dismisses
ilroaring and thundering on its headlong
journey to the opening valley six miles below.
With ' difficulty the saddle horses and pack
mules picked their devious way among thickets
of trees and fallen boulders which filled the
bottom of the gorge. So lofty were the tower
ing steeps on either side that their pine-clad
summits seemed clothed with moss; so deeply
did they enfold the shadowy glen that they hid
from sight all view beyond. Into this seclud
ed spot but few persons come, but bleaching
antlers of elks scattered along the pass showed
that even this upland retreat was not a snre
'refuge from the hunters. Chattering magpies
few from tree to tree in the open glade, and
mountain grouse rustled through the under
brush, scarcely deigning to fly. At length a
pndden turn around an intercepting
pnr revealed a marvelous sight. Moun
tains of every bight, and hue, and
shape towered in front and inclosed a
-vast amphitheater. In the immediate fore
ground rose vast mountain slopes whose almost
precipitous sides and rounded summits were
densely robed with pines. Behind them, far
above the line of verdure, were lofty pyramids
of naked crags, while higher than all, glittering
in the noonday sun, towered those mighty
peaks which are white with never-melting snow.
The tipper atmosphere was bathed in
effulgent ; light ; shadows filled all the
valleys. In the very heart of this
impressive grandeur, nestling at the base
of frowning mountains which seemed envious
of the contracted space, reposed the silent lake,
8000 feet above the sea, green as an emerald, icy
cold, and fairly alive with gigantic trout 1 On
. one side a stupendous cliff walled in tlie liquid
gem; on the other the intruding mountain
vouchsafed little space for a grassy lawn
which sloped gently from the border of the
lake np to small grove of lodge-pole pines at
its base. A few straggling cedars fringed the
fthore. Out of an adjacent crevice in tbe rocky
wall poured a gelid brook, so cold that
it benumbed the bands, never before were all
the requisites of a camping place so perfectly
supplied. The whole area occupied by the
lake, the grove, tbe lawn, and the foaming tor
rent, was less than a mile in diameter. A
rinee of nine trees stretched across th inlat
at the head of tbe lake, like the drop curtain of
a theater, ana ma me impetuous stream above:
, . i . . . . ... . '
, out me noise oi .is roar was neara unceasing
ly day and night. Just where it shot into the
still water was the angler's favorite fishing
ground. Tbe unsophisticated trout never once
refused the lure of bait or fly, they were caught
by hundreds, and averaged a pound apiece.
Over by the foot of the cliff which dropped al
most piumu mtu me jbko, neavier hah were
caught among the detritus and boulders which
had fallen from above, some of them weighing
two pounds and a quarter. On the shallows
where the lake sloped to tbe margin, was a
growth of weeds, at tbe edge of which the trout
sfcuiKea line pine, ana were easily tempted out.
In fact, wherever the line was cast the offer wa
responded to at once. All the previous experi
ences ui nugieru were thrown into the
shade: These fish were the black-speckled trout
of the Rockies, with crimson slashes across the
gill-covers, which has now become almost as fa
miliar to tne angler as tbe crimson-spotted fa
vorites of the east. They are a trifle less act

of a mountain can von where the pools are
forty rods apart, the tackle light, the banks
bristling wan protruding brush and over.
hanging trees, and no footing to be obtained
except in the slippery boulder-covered bed of
tne stream, under such conditions I caught
five big fish above the lakes, but the capture
involved some tumbles in tbe flood, and many
bruises. I followed up the creek until the
canyon became so contracted t:at the impris-
uuou Kii tcui uui scarcely ioom to now, and
further progress seemed impossible. We were
now within seventy miles of tbe famous Nation
al park, but the gates were closed. A mighty
barrier of rocks and snow-capped mountains
interposed, which only the big-horn sheep can
traverse. So cool was the temperature of the
morning air that the vapors condensed into
frost; twice in a single week snow covered the
ground, out melted after the sun had ri en.
Everywhere signs of elks and bears were
found. Behind our camp there was hardly a tree
whose bark had not been rubbed by the elks to
rid their tingling horns of their discarded vel
vet. The experience was worth the long jour
ney to enjoy.
Similar in character to the Rosebud are the
headwaters of all the mountain tributaries of
the Yellowstone; sequestered little parks al
ternat ng.with areas of forest and rugged can
yons, with a background of mountains frown
ing in somber grandeur, or flashing in sun
light where they are mantlod with snow. The
streams generally flow north, and run about
seventy-five miles. As soon as they leap their
mountain barriers, the walls which confine
them gradually spread out into gentle slorjes
inclosing grassy valleys, and sweep in far
reaching undulations 'toward the table land
which forms the summits of the divides. The
river bottoms are filled with trees of different
varieties and luxuriant undergrowth. The
coulees are carpeted with green grass, and up
holstered wiui shrubbery, in which bull-berries,
choke cherries, juicy rosebuds, and luxu
rious plums predominate. In the season of
ripening the grizzly bears come down from
their fastnesses to regale themselves on the
fruit, and become an easy prey to the hunter.
Last August, a Mr. Jennison, of Dublin, hunt-
ng for sport, killed tenty-nine. Red and
black-tail deer are very numerous in the thick
ets, into which the hunters ride on horseback,
ana jump tuem irom their beds. On the
higher slopes of the Toothills are elks and
mountain sheep. Autelopea throng the open
plains in autumn. Better fields for sport
were never known. A ride over these sweep
ing swales is like a holiday jaunt through Cen
tral Park or the Bois de Boulogne. At times
one discovers broad avenues worn smooth by
horses' hoofs, and apparently traveled by wag
on-wheels, which he learns are lodge pole

fasten,, their lodge poles to their saddle
girths; and let the endsdrag behind.
These ends, having been crossed by par
allel oars, ana tne loage-covers thrown
over them and fastened at the edges, a caoa-
cious bag is formed, into which domestic chat
tels like ducrepit old women, pappooses. sick
dogs, and kettles, which cannot be conven
iently carried on pack horses, are thrown nro-
misconsly. Almost constantly narrow trails
are seen, deeply worn into the grass, and gen
erally running in parellol lines. These are
old buffalo trails. There are no surer guides
for the traveler, are more certain paths to
water, practicable fords, or rich pastures.
Once, storting out from Fort Custer, with
some officers of the post, we followed up the
Little Big Horn river some twenty miles to
Lodgegniss creok, and then a like distance up
mat stream, wnere we cam pea lor a week. This
brought us into the heart of a famous game
country. Unfortunately, fires had bnrncd the
grass over a large area, but the thickets fairly
swarmed with deer, and occasional bears and
elk. The results averaged three saddles of
venison per day to five guns, besides prairie
chickens, ducks and hares. ' Had the quest
been more for meat and less for pleasure, the
trophies of the chase would have been greatly
multiplied. Speaking of bears, there is an old
time hunter who has lived on the Stinking
water for many years, not far from Fort Mc
Kinnev, some forty miles from Custer. One
day, early last September, he descried a stray
buffalo bull near his ranche, and started out
with his Winchester rifle after rawhide. It did
not take long to bring the animal to his knees.
but the noise of the shot which struck him
jumped two black-tails out of the bush. In a
minute old John Worth, that is the hunter's
name, and ho is sixty-three years old, pumped
two rifle balls out of his magazine and stopped
them running. He had taken his knife out of
his belt to skin the handiest, when a big
Ephraim, with four other grizzlies, waltzed out
of the bush, where they had been catiug plums,
and commenced feeding on the carcass of the
other deer, scarcely three rods away. Worth
thought himself in luck. Meat seemed to rain
down like quail and manna for the Israelites.
So he pumped away once more and killed four
of the bears in the tracks; but when he pulled
trigger on the fifth, he found that his maga
zine was empty 1 Before fie could finger a loose
cartridge out of his belt, Ephraim had him
down and would have killed him had not a
little whiffet dog which was with him teased
his flanks and heels until he let go long enough
to let the man get in bis cartridge. A shot at
close quarters then finished tbe bear; but
Worth was laid up at the military hospital for
a month.
Fort Custer is located on a commanding cliff
at the junction of the Big Horn with the Little
B'g Horn, now made historical by the lament
able Custer disaster. It is a first-class pos', in
charge of the 11th infantry and 2d cavalry,
larger than Fort Keogb, but "hardly as home
like or pretty. It is cast in a rougher mold,
and stands in the center of a vast wilderness,
like an oasis of civilization, extending its grate
ful projection over tbe fledgling settlements
which nestle beneath its sheltering arms. The
road from the fort to Lodgegrass creek passes
close by the hights where Custer fought his last
battle. A monument of cut granite inscribed
with the names of every man who fell in the
engagement overlouks the bloody ground, the
fatal ford which Custer foolishly attempted to
cross, and broad bottom beyond the river
where the camp of t e hostile Sio,nx extended
for nearly two miles. The retfeat of the sol
diers from the ford to the crest of the bight
where the hist stand was made is marked by
stakes placed where their dead bodies fell. The
celerity with which the guilty, panic-stricken
Indians abandoned their camp at the approach
of Gen. Terry is indicated by the lodge-poles
and utensils which strew the ground even at
the present day.
; Fort Custer is a sort of asylum and outfit
ting depot for way-farers and disabled sports
men. There is no other place withtn a hun
dred miles where shelter and requisite neces
saries can be procured. During tbe past sea
son Custer received visits from no less than
seven hunting parties of English, Irish, Aus
trian and American gentlemen, including three
ladies, most of whom wanted pack mules, pro
visions, arms, guides or something of the sort.
Its officers are most hospitable, and glad to en
tertain agreeable guests, whose presence re
lieves the monotony of guard mount and din
ner call. The approaches to Fort C us tor may
readily be recognized by the empty beer bottles
which line the sides of the road the tributes
of departing guests to the hospitality left be
hind. ! Taking the back track down the Yellowstone
valley, and traveling by easy stages for seven
days, one can look the country over a second
time with more leisure and more intelligently.
Thq. strange characters which people the terri
tory have now become familiar. The tourist
has learned to distinguish the stndy'ranchman,
the leather clad stockmen, the dark-visaged
rangers in full panoply of beads, buckskin and
pistols, the wandering Indian bands with their
herds of ponies, the freighters and the pilgrims.
There is a large floating population of idlers
in Montanna, worthless vagabonds with a keen
eye to tbe main chance; leeches upon the tenter-foot
and new-comer. One of the most
thriving branches of extraneous industry, is
horse stealing. Horses change hands so fast
and so often that they imagine themselves in a
twenty mile race. Every prudent ranchman
rigs a bell wire from his barn to his beds; every
government wagon train doubles its horse
guard; every stockman sleeps on the corral
fence; every plainsman, ties bis lariat to his
arm. ; One of these days a new industry will
arise in the territory, and then horse thieving
will be practiced no more. Charles Hallock.
A Bcmance or a Centnrj Ago
On the 23d of December, 1783, the
floor of the Senate-chamber at Annapolis
was filled to overflowing by stately dames
and gentle maidens who had flocked to
the Capitol as if the weight of state ques
tions had been for this one hour entrust
ed to their wise deliberations. Washing
ton, the mighty yet unambitious hero of
the time, while yet the idol of the pub
lic heart, was on this day to lay down his
laurels by resigning to Congress his
commission of commander-in-chief of the.
brave little army whose triumphs he
had directed and whose sufferings he had
shared.
Accompanied by his aides, Colonel
Benjamin Walker and Colonel David
Humphreys, and the officers appointed
as escort, Washington entered the hall
where the assembled Congress awaited
him, every manly voice among the spec
tators cheering, and every feminine ker
chief waving an enthusiasm of approval
and welcome; but the cheers were hushed
into breathless silence by the first words
of the great hero's dignified address, to
which General Mifflin, as President of
the Senate, made an eloquent and ap
propriate reply.
On Washington's left stood the valiant
soldier Colonel John Erger Howard, of
Maryland, and facing Colonel Howard,
conspicuous among the foremost group
of Senators, was General Bead, of South
Carolina, the hero of this short legend
of a by-gone love. How little did either
of these young men, strangers to one-
another, dream of the day to come when
a son and a daughter of each were to be
come husband and wife to the daughter
and son of the other.
Many were the men whose names were
already distinguished, or to become his
toric, who were present, either as mem
bers of Congress or spectators of the im
pressive scene. Madison, Jefferson,
Monroe; Lee, of Virginia; Osgood, of
Massachusetts; Morris, of Pennsylvania,
McComb, of Delaware, and General
Otho Williams, Generals bmith and
Swan, of Maryland The well-known
Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, was ac
companied by his two daughters, one of
wnora was afterward, as Airs. Caton,
mother to the trio of celebrated beauties
who became respectively Lady Stafford
the Marchioness of Welleslev, and the
the Duchess of Leeds.
Cut absorbing as was the attention
given to Washington by the august as
semblage of heroes and patriots, who
recognized in him the greatest hero and
patriot of any, the young Cfrolinian's
eyes wandered up to the gallery above,
where Mrs. Washington, with her grand
children at her knee, was seated in all
the dignity and legitimate pride of the
wife who crowns herself with her hus
band's glory.
Grouped around her were the three
Calvert sisters, Mai viand's blood royal.
the family of Lord Baltimore; and never
was the fame of Maryland beauty better
maintained than by the contrasting love
liness of the youngest, Miss Ariana Cal
vert, with the more brilliant charms of
her elder sisters, who had been esponsod
daring the perils of the war, both on the
same evening, the one by Washington's
step-son, Parke Curtis, and the other by
Mr. Ueorge btuart, cf Maryland.
It is told of these gentlemen that each
received the announcement of the birth
of a son born on the same day, a year
after the marriages while on the battle
field. But it was not the rich bloom or dark
eyes of the beautiful young matrons
which so riveted the attention of the
young Southerner that even the sublime
presence of Washington was for a time
forgotten. To his eyes the youngest sis
ter was much tbe fairest; and be gazed
up at tbe unconscious young girl until
tbe friend at his elbow, Mr. James,Mon
roe too thorough a Virginian not to re
cognize tbe phenomina of a love at first
sight whispered her name in his ear, and
the offer to present Him before the lady
quitted Annapolis town for home in the
country. Tbe offer was gratefully ac
cepted, and ere the winter was half over
Miss Calvert was affianced to her eager
and enraptured young lover; but not,
alas! with the entire consent and appro
bation of her family and friends, and
thence arose the cloud which darkened
the horizon of this love legend.
As usual, the passion youth deifies,
age coldly ignored. The Carolinian was
wealthy, of prominent position and good
birth, and of distinguished education;
but the lady was threatened with de
cline. She was also the youngest dar
ling of the household ; her sisters had
married so well, yet remained in their
midst; and her family grew more and
more reluctant that this comparative
stranger should bear away their tender
and fragile flower to his far-off Southern
home, to j)ine away, and die perhaps,
out of sight and hearing of those who
had loved her from her cradle; and the
angered lover saw the feeble health of
his lady-love give way-under the conflict
of duty with feeling, until she became
indeed seriously ill.
But the passionate Southerner was not
to have the woman of his heart granted
to his wishes. The sensibility which
could doom the gentle Ariana Calvert to
an early death could not permit her to
sacrifice family affection to her own and
her lover's happiness. What bitter tears
and faltering words were exchanged in
their parting none can tell ; but tbe min
iatures, given once as the fair tokens of
union, each still retained, to be sorrow
ful consolation and reminder of a life
long separation. Elizabeth Read, in
Harper's Magazine for April.
The 6t.ry of a Hat.
Poor Philip Vanderdonk! All his life
he had toiled, and saved, scraped, and
pulled every string that had a dollar at
the end of it. And now all his beard
earned wealth was gone.anda great, hate
fill, interest-eating mortgage spread its
black wings over all that he owned and
loved on earth. He sank into a chair,
and folding his arms upon the table be
fore him, bowed his gray head upon
them, and groaned great groans from
groanville, groan county. His heart
seemnd breaking.
"Did you mortgage the farm?" asked
his wife, stealing softly to his side.
"Yes," he growled; "both farms and
sold the wood-lot."
"And did you have to mortgage the
town house, too?" she asked, with quiv
ering lips and glistening eyes.
"Oh, yes," said the man, in hollow
tones. "Oh, yes, and all my stock in the
railroad, and hypothecated what I had in
grain."
"And was It enough?" she asked,
trembling with eagerness. "Was it
enough?"
"Not qnite," he growled; and then he
saw the ghastlv pallor of disappointment
spread over her face, he added, "but the
milliner let me have it on ninety days'
time for the balance, as eight per cent.
"And you've brought my new hat
home, then?" she caroled, joyously.
"Oh, Philip, voa dear old duck!"
"Well, no, not ajj of it," he said. "I
brought the plume and one of the bows
down with me in the express, but the
express, but the hat itself is coming
down on a flat car."
And the next week after that, eleven
dark-browed men, who sat behind
Philip's wife at the theater, waylaid the
wretched man on his way home, hauled
him off down an obscure street, rolled
him up in a wad, and stopped u new
sewer with him. f Burlington Hawkeye.

Electro Motive Powers.
The action and reaction of chemical
and electrical energy in the store battery
of M. Faure, and the action and reaction
of the mechanical movement and electri
cal currents in conpled-up dynamo
electrical machines, have conspired to
gether to advance tbe cause of the elec
trical transmission of motor power, and
to favor the utilization of the vast natu
ral sources of motor energy that are at
all times present in blowing winds and
in flowing water. Precisely as the store
battery is necessary to render the fitful
impulses of the capricious wind avail
able for steady and reliable work, bo
also is it essential for the practical
utilisation of such periodic recurrences
as the flowing and ebbing of the tidal cur
rents of the sea. Sir Wm. Thompson ap
pears to have been led to cast a
longing and loving eye . upon
windmills on account of ' the sus
picion that it would not answer to con
struct basins along the coast for generat
ing currents of electricity out of the in
flux and efflux of the tide, because the
land, which might by the same amount
of labor be reclaimed from the dominion
of the sea, would have a higher money
value for agricultural purposes than the
water reservoir would have as a source
of motive power. It must be remem
bered, however, that this argument does
not at all apply to the various well
known instances in which vast irreclaim
able basins are already within the do
minion of the tide. Thus Prof. Sylva-
nus Thompson has pointed out that this
is essentially the case in the neighbor
hood of Bristol, where he resides. Na
ture seems there almost to have taken it
in hand to provide before hand for tbe
working t out of the problem. Prof.
Thompson states that the construction
of only a few yards of embankment
would in that instance provide a tidal
basin with a rise and fall of twenty-three
feet; snd where at the present time pow
er runs to waste every year which would
suffice, if converted to mechanical ac- i
count, to charge 10,000,000 of Faure
batteries and to raise 20,000,000,000 of
pounds one foot high. He calculates that
one-tenth part ofjtb.ii power would be
quite enough for the permanent lighting
of the city of Bristol. He further esti
mates that a fifth part of the tidal flow
which now runs to waste in the channel of
the Severn, where the rise and fall are
of a still larger amount, would suffice to
light every city and to turn every loom,
spindle and axle in Great Britain. It will
be thus seen how even the boldness of
the idea of utilizing the Falls of Niagara
is already on the point of beintr surpassed
by the aspirations of seicentiiic men. If
this dream of the application of the tidal
pulsations of the sea to the production of
mechanical movement through the in
strumentality of store batteries and trans
mitted electrical currents is ever real
ized, this indeed would be a case of the
conservation of energy upon the most
stupendous scale; for under such cir
cumstances it would be the majestic roll
of the terrestrial globe itself in its Inex
orable whirl in space, which would have
been harnessed to work the machinery of
man. With such a prime dynamo-elec
trical generator there would assuredly
be no limit to the work which might ba
performed.
The Game of Rhymes.
The game of rhymes may be made
quite amusing if the company of young
folks who play it exercise ingenuity.
One of the company thinks of a word
rhyming with another word which he
mentions. The aim of the party is to
guess what the word thought of can be.
The rule is that no one should give a
name to what they guess, but describe it
instead, and each of tbe company in
turn is entitled to a question. Suppose
the word thought of is "bag," rhyming
with "tag," then the question should be

Flavor of the Mind.
There is no more interesting spectacle
than to see the efforts of wit upon the
different characters of men than to ob
serve it expanding caution, relaxing dig
nity, unfreezing coldness, teaching age
and care and pain to smile, exorting
reluctant gleams of pleasure from melan
choliy and charming even the pangs of
grief. It is pleasant to observe how it
penetrates through the coldness and
awkwardness of society, gradually bring
ing men nearer together, and, like the
combined force of wine and oil, giving
every man a glad heart and a shining
countenance. Genuine and innocent wit
like this is surely the flavor of the mind.
Man could direct his ways by plain rea
son, and support his life by tasteless
food; but God has given us wit, and fla
vor and brightness and laughter and
perfumes to enliven the days of man's
pilgrimage, and to "charm" the painted
steps over the burning marl. Sidney
Smith.
A Woman of Business.
Mrs. Miriam Florence Leslie, the
widow of the well known publisher, has,
upon application to the courts of New
York, had her name changed to Frank
Leslie the name her husband bore. It
was not a mere whim with her, but a
business idea, as she wishes to perpetu
ate the name of the Frank Leslie Pub
lishing House, of which she is now the
proprietor and manager. Every morn
ing ."she is found in her office by half
past 8 o'clock and remains till 5 in the
afternoon. She signs all checks and
money orders, makes all contracts for
supplies of every sort, looks over the
proofs of all articles before they are pub
lished, and makes suggestions concern
ing the make-up of every periodical be
fore it is sent to press. In a word, she
is the head of the whole establishment.
In Mrs. Leslie's employ are over four
hundred people, comprising artists, en
gravers, editors, compositors, etc., and
thirteen different periodicals are issued.

A88UQR ISSUBASCJC.
Ttie Keiliooa by wbleh Yon Kg Couple
ate awiauiea.
Suits are about to be instituted by
three young couples residing near
Beamstown, Pa., which will expose the
methods of the marriage insurance com
panies, in which tbe complainants are
interested. , Tbe plaintiffs were married
just thirteen months ago. Prior to their
marriage they were approached by three
agents, who, it is alleged, promised tbat
the companies would pay each member
$450 cne year after their marriage. The
young people paid $10 apiece for their
policies or certificates, and $4 annual
dues. Two weeks after their policies
were received they were- married, and
hopefully looked forward to the time
when they would receive their money.
The three couples live near together.
and tbe numbers of their certificates ran
from 47a to 480 inclusive. Three weeks
ago they sent the companies notice that
tbeir year was np, and that they wanted
their money as promised. Thev received
word that the companies were paying off
as last as possible, and that they would
have to wait until their turn came. The
next day's mail brought six envelopes,
each pf them containing fifteen notices
of assessment, amounting in each case to
$18.7S. The very next week another
batch jof notices was received, and they
conuuneu to come so last tnat Detoro a
month, had passed their assessments
called for $50 each. They refused to
pay, and consulted an ex-agent of an
other company, lie told tbem that they
would either have to pay their assess
ments or forfeit their policies. Said he:
"And that is not the worst of it, either.
Your policies ars exceedingly high num
bered. I dare say that out of the 475
persons who are ahead of you at least
350 are married now and waiting for
their money, just as you all are. Be
fore your turns come to get your money
each of you will have to pay at least 350
assessments of $1.25 each; so you see
tbe very best thing you can do is to stop
right where you are and go ' no further.
Tbe cbances are 100 to 1 tbat by tbe time
you will have paid your 350 assessments
the policy holders who come alter you
will be utterly unable to keep np the
drain on their purses, and you cannot
get your money. Do not invest any
more. Make np your minds that what
you have already paid out is lost for
ever, and thank your stars it is not
more. The companies you are in are
perfectly willing to carry out their part
of the contract, provided you are. Your
certificate plainly shows that you must
pay up all assessments that tbe company
calls for in order to satisfy the just
claims of those whose policies are ahead
of yours. If you do not comply you
cease to be a member, and your policy
becomes null and void."
The young people declare that they
had no such understanding, and that
they were insured to get $450 one year
after their marriage. A number of law
yers are examining into this matter with
a view of beginning a war agairst these
marriage insurance companies if there is
any possible legal way to get at it. They
are aware tbat hundreds of young per
sons have been induced to become in
sured prior to their weddings. The
Pennsylvania courts now positively re
fuse to charter any more of the compa
nies on the ground that their business is
corrupt and fraudulent; and the proba
bilities are that the next important move
will be made against -those who have
been chartered, but whose duped mem
bers are waiting in vain for their money.
Very many officers are quietly withdraw
ing, anticipating the impending conflict.
Other, companies are quietly consoli
dating and transferring their business.
Nevertheless, the object of marriage
endowment or insurance is a splendid
thing for young folks, and we would ad
vise those wishing such insurance to take
a stock company that has fixed rates, like
the Northwestern, of Oregon.
l'Ol'XD AT LAST.
A. Foal live und Never Fulling Cure) for Shea
nuttum, ikennUacIn ad Uoat.
Hundreds of testimonials given to Dr. Henley, un
solicited, are in bis possession from his own towns
men, living right here among us, testifying to the
wonderful curative powers of his Rheumatic Neu
tralize. Dr. Henley refers only to the testimonials
giveu by well known parties in our midst, and never
relies on far off and unknown Individuals, as sup
porting, what he claims to be true of his Rheumatic
Neutralizer, tbat Is, it will cure any case of Rheuma
tism in existence. The doctor long since discovered
the folly of applying external remedies for a disease
that has its seat in the deepest channels of tbe
blood, and therefore set to work to discover rem
edy for Rheumatism, and mankind may rejoice in
his itheuniatfc Neutralizer.
A DEFINITION ON BHECMATtSM.
If you have a thorn or splinter in your finger and
you put on Chloroform, or some other drug, you
stop the sensibility of pain for a time only. The
thorn is still there, ana as soon as the effect of the
drug dies away the pain returns. In order to get rid
of the pain you must have that thorn plucked out of
tbe flesh. That is precisely the same way with
Rheumatism; you might rub on the akin some drug
to stop the pain for a little time, but the pain is
sure to return as soon as the effect of the drug dies
sway. Now it has been proven beyond the slightest
doubt that Rheumatism is in tbe deepest Channels
of the Blood, aud tbat tnere is no other way to reach
it only through the Blood. This has been demon
strated right here In Portland by dozens of people
that have been cured by Dr. Henley's Rheumatic
Neutralizer. That it is tbe only Medictue that has
Ever Reached the cue and made Lasting and Per
manent Cures. Ia fact, the only true principal for
Kradicating Rheumatism from the system is through
the Blood. It is a pack of nonsense to attempt any
other method, that is, if you would wish a Perma
nent and Lasting Cure,
