CHAPTER II.


CURIOUS AND STARTLING MYSTERY.
Skirting the Black Hills, forty miles
ives: of Fort Laramie, party OF hOrsemen
were riding eastward.
They had left Fort Bridger eight days
before, taking the route OF the North
Platte, and were now following the Ore
gon emigrant road, among these long
ridges, dry beds of rivers, and sterile
plains, by which the region Of the Black
Hills is distinguished.
The bulk Of the party consisted of ten
| cavalrymen. under lieutenant, who were
returning to Fort Laramie, their post Of
duty. They were well mounted, and had
several lead horses in their train, loaded
with their provisions and appurtenances
of travel.
The balance Of the party comprised
three civilians, who had seized the oppor-
tan ty of crossing the mountains under
military escort. Two Of these emgrants
| who had settled near Fort Bridger, but
who had tired Of the great solitude. Or
been frightened hy the Indians, Were
now returning eastward in search of homes
nearer the b, UNITS Of civilization.
| The third civilian was Hubert Earle, the
lover of Miriam Dane, the settlers daugh-
ter, whom we have just left in such deadly
peril.

STRANGE FREAK OF MAN OF GENIUS
A few years ago, Laurence Oliphant, who
went to England as the Secretary of the
Japanese Mission, made deep impression
on the fashionable and political world by
his brilliant talents. He was compara-
lively unknown, but in few months took
all hearts by storm. He obtained seat
in Parliament, moved in the highest cir
cles Of society, and was the universal
| iavorite OF the world Of fashion. He was
once seen sauntering into the Travellers
Club with two men leaning on his arms
enc His Royal llighncss the Prince of
Wales, and the other His Majesty the
Prince Of Denmark ! Such future as
that which lay before this handsome,
clever, fascinating young diplomatist, says
an English paper. any man might have
envied. Suddenly, however, Laurence
Oliphant was missed from his place in
socicty-from club, and House. and
opera. Where he had gone none could
tell. Even lis constituents at Sterling
were unable to get any accurate informa-
ton concerning him, and as he made no
appearance at the recent election. another
man was chosen in his place. He has at
last been discovered, however, in semi.
religious, semi-socialistic community at
Brocton. on the border Of Lake Erie,
where the once idolized star Of Belgravia
now follows the plow and wears the
homeSpun.

How TO STOP DoNKEY's BRAYISG.-
Father Hue, famous Catholic explorer
of the interior of China, relates that on
one Of his long journeys among that
strange people, his caravan embraced an
unusual number of Jacks among the
donkeys employed as carriers Of the ex-
hibition; that these Jacks at every resting
place, kept up such an intolerable bray
ing. especially toward morning, as to
render sleep impossible to the Able; that
at last he complained of this to the master
of the donkcys, who instantly replied
that his gracious hiyhness should be no
m IRE disturbed by this brayinc. After that,
sure enough, quiet night with its re-
f hing sleep followed, and on
enquiring the cause in the morning, he
was pointed to the noisy Jacks, each with
IL heavy stone tied to his tail. "That."
said the driver, ''ls the way we settle
them. The Jackass stands upon his
dignity and will not bray unless he can
straighten out his tail, and with a heavy
stone attached, he can't straighten it out,
don't you see? Every time he tries it, the
weight Of the stone pulls him down and
shuts his Jaw"

A Washington dispatch says: "Mr.
Wade, in conclusion, said that his success
sor, Judge Thurman, was a very able
man, and would almost take as able a
stand in the senate as Mr.. Hendricks, Of

have been succeeded by republican, but

Democratic Ohioans here do not believe
with Mr.. Wade that Ohio will elect ra-
dical legislature to ratify this amendment.
The extreme difficulty Of overcoming the
republican strength founded on the gerry
Wandering instituted is admitted, but the
democrats expect to make a clean sweep
in the fall, just on account of the issue
this amendment presents"
