AYouthfhr Traveller.
iqlFrom the st. Paul Press, June Is ]

ga tit From the 81. Paul Press, June 70
We met yesterday "a youthful but ex-
tensive traveller, Miss Emily Wells, a
little girl of III years, who has just re-
turned from Virginia City, Montana
Territory, alone. Her history from the
time she left this. State, in 1868, until
her return, is of the most remarkable
character, and her account of thilling
adventures, hair breadth escapes, to-
gether with the sufferipgs and priya-
tions which we endured, would. fill a
volume. LEI - z : 80 = 2 -
In the spring of 1868 this little girl
was living with her grandmother at Sha-
kopee, in this State, and when the ex-
petition left that place in April for the
then Territory of Idaho, she accompa-
MED it taking with her her granddangh-
ter, without the knowledge or consent
of the child's mother, who resides in
this city. vrga-iE .a3asTols ~ - 1855 "a
Emily cannot remember much of any
thing THAT happened during her out
ward trip. but thinks that there was
nothing of more than ordinary interest
occurred. The first thing that she re-
members with any accuracy, is the death
of her grandmother, which occurred in
the latter part of December following
her arrival in Virginia City, an incident
which would be likely. to leave am bin-
press not easily, to be effaced, even on a
mind so young. as by it she was left, in
a wild and strange land, without a
friend or relative nearer than fifteen
hundred miles, and that over wild and
barren country, inhabited only by hos
tile bands of Indians. After this incl
dent, from which time commences the
eyentful era of our little heroine's his
tory, she was left friendless and alone,
withnO one to care for her, ornomeans
TO secure the sustenance of life. i Day
after day and night after night passed
on IN their hurried course, but alas
they brought no relief Co our 4ittle 'srf.
ferer. During all these many weeks
and months she was compelled to hunt
and beg for the morsel of bread that
was to keep body and soul together.
