The Widow Of Tom Moore.

We have already referred to the
death Of Mrs. Moore, the widow of the
Irish poet, which took place on Sep.
tember 4th last, at the Sloperton cot.
tage, Devices, Willis, at the age of 6s
years. The London Times says
This is the announcement that one OF
the last roses of glorious summer
has at length disappeared. Few are
now left Of the brilliant company who
adorned the early part Of the 10th
century, and whose famous names are
in our literature. Among these names
none is or will be held in more kindly
remembrance than that of the lady to
whom the poet Moore gave his heart.
Moore not only loved her--he was
proud of her, and it is delightful to see
in his letters and in his diaries with
what eagerness he sounded her prai-
ses. He writes to his mother in 1918:
"You cannot imagine what a sensa.
tion Bessy excited at the ball the other
night. She was prettily dressed. and
certainly looked very beautiful. lnev.
er saw so much admiration excited. II
strikes everybody almost that sees

A Lesson of Obedience.

To obey promptly, to do the very
thing that is commanded-how very
rarely do children understand the i'm
portance of those things. An illuslra-
ton Of the Importance Of such obedi-
ence has just been given in the Bcr-
lin papers, which relate the following
incident that lately took place in Prus-
sia -" A switchman was at the juno
tion Of two lines Of railway, his lever
in hand, for train was signaled.
The engine was within few Sec, n Is
ofreaching the embankment, when the
man, on turning his head, perceived
his little boy playing on the rails Of
the line the train was to pass over.
With a heroic devotedness to his du-
ty, the unfortunate man adopted u
sublime resolution. Lie down., he
shouted out to the child but as to
himself, he remained at his post. The
train passed along on its way, and the
lives Of one hundred passengers were
perhaps saved But the poor child !!
The father rushed forward expecting
to take up only corpse but what
was his joy on finding that the boy
had at once obcyed his order? He
bad lain down, and the whole train
had passed over him without injury.
The next day the King sent for the
man and attached to his breast tho
medal for civil courage" aH@

ed. He married her in 1911, and her
history is summed up in this one phrase
that she was the delight of his life.
She does not appear toaoccupy a great
place in his poetry (; but it is one Of
the curious traits of many poet that
he is excited to sing less by the real
mistress of his heart than by some i'm
aginary heroine, or by some beauty
that kindles passing fame. Mrs.
Moore was not a Lesbia, nor Bea-
trice, nor Laura, nor Highland Ma
ry, destined in song to live for ever !;
but as much as any of these, if not
more, she was poets idol.
She died at o'clock on the morning
of Monday, 4th ultimo. She was sen.
sible to the end she knew that she
was dying and she said that she was
quite happy. She was the last that re-
mained of the Moore family, and
now that she has departed, we begin
to count with some sadness, how many
links are there left to connect the pres
ent generation Of letters with the past

Who viii Work.

The Richmond Times insists that
"we must adopt plans for bringing in
emigration generally, for it is quite
evident that the negroes do not mean
to work. Some other labor must there
fore be procured, and that at very
short notice, or this country, the
noblest the sun shines upon, will be-
come a wilderness like Jamaica" We
have not heard of any negro refusing
to work. Most certainly there are
ten white men fed by the Government
as paupers for one negro. The diff
Guilty of the Times is not that the negro
refuses to work, but that he will not
work for the white man. Nor do we
blame him. Let the white man work
for himself. The negro will not bother
him.
The allusion to Jamaica gives us an
idea of Southern argument. That
Island is in a great part controlled by
negro labor, and Instead of being a
Wilderness" has more wealth, more
real happiness and prosperity, great
er number of small, well-tilled farms
and comfortable homes, and more
generally diversified intelligence than

General Sully's Expeditiou.

Gen. Sully's expedition to Devils
Lake. though failure in not finding
any Indians, Gas already announced,
accomplished some valuable surveys
OF the Lake and it's surrounding coun-
try. The soil is of first rate quality,
equal to the best prairies in Iowa and
Minnesota. Hitherto it has been sup.
posed that there was no outlet to the
Lake, but the present surveys have
demonstrated the fact that there is q
well defined outlet which runs north
into Pembina river, and these sur
veys are confirmed by the half-breeds
who have long been familiar with the
country. There is no inlet to the
Lake. Its altitude above tho sea is
one thousand feet. Chantee (Heartl
Hill. on the southern shore, is seven
hundred and fifty feet above the Lake.
Near this butte is the site selected as
most favorable for the location of q
permanent military post, as there are
good grass and timber and fne
springs of water in the immediate vi.
cinity. That fort will be built at
DEVILS Lake next season, now ap-
pears to be certainty.

The Katydid.

The Katydid is grasshopper--that
is, it belongs to the grasshopper tribe.
Its shape is quite curious this in
consequence Of its wings, which take
the form of sharp ridge somewhat
like a pod, the wings incasing almost
the whole body, which is rather blunt
and thick in comparison with the
wings which extend beyond the insect
nearly double its length. II is Of a
pale grass color, wings and all. ln-
stead of hopping in the grass. it lives
in the trees, generally in the tops.
Night is its gala time. All night it is
busy, calling to it's mate the malo
does this. This call is the Katy
did mote about which SD much is
said and sung. The imitation is not
a good one. Instead of three notes
there are often four or five and when
number Of these insects are together
they make night hidcous.

200 mules, which were frozen to death
in one night. On the lst of Septem-

Powder river. They were repulsed
with heavy loss, our loss being only
four killed and two wounded. On the
Sd the Indians appeared in force and
were driven ten miles. The next day
tie engagement was renewed and last.
ed until noon. The Indians were
again defeated with great slaughter,
being from 200 to 600 killed and
wounded. The Indians fled in every
direction our troops were unable to
pursue them on account of the poor
condition of the stock. Our loss was
one killed, and one officer and two
men wounded. The Indians lost a
large number Of horses. The Indians
again attacked our troops ON the sth,
and after short but spirited engage
ment, were totally routed and beauii-
fully cleaned out. Their force is esti-
mated at 5000. They lost many of
their principal chiefs. Our total re-
ported loss in the three engagements
was seven killed one officer and two
men wounded. Another battle was
expected on Powder river, but the In.

The most active, numerous and
