most obtains water from the Platte river,
about six hundred yards distant, aud the
wood is supplied by contract. The land
il not arabic, and no timber, crops or
vegetables grow there. Three miles
from the post the grass is good. The
soil IA sandy. The Platte river rises in
April and falls in July, and is fordable
about seven months in the year.
The climate is very dry. The esti-
mated average monthly temperature for
twelve months, ending June 30, 1863,
was 81 degrees 81 minutes. The sani-
tary condition Of the locality is exceed.
ingly good. The post commands the
buffalo range TO the south, and will be "A
cavalry station Of Importance as long
as there are hostile Indians on the
plains. The Modocs will doubtless be-
come dsgusted with this locality in n
very short time because Of the rigorous
weather in the winter; and il is barely
possible that few Of them will decamp
and become Outcasts, or affiliate with
rowing savages in more temperate
zone. One reason given by the Modoes
for their clandestine departure rom the
Klamath reservation was that they sui.
fered severely from the cold weather OF
that region and could not become aecus-
toned to it. They will find the chilling
influence Of Nebraska winter far more
uncomfortable than anything OF the
kind experienced at klamath. The re-
port is current in official circles that the
Modoes will eventually be located in the
Indian Territory-the land of plenty,
where thousands Of the red men have
created pleasant homes.

Adventurous prospecting.

From the Alta Callfornla'l
In September, 1872, party of gold
miners who had been working on the
Omineca placers, on the eastern slope
of the Rocky Mountains, about latitude
fifty-six degrees north, in British Colum-
bia, started with the needful tools and a
years provision, to prospect the region
to the northward. The country was
wild, they might meet hostile Indians,
and they we're certain to encounter
severe winter, but with that daring
spirit which has been common among
miners on the Pacific, they determined
to risk everything. Without any draft
animals and with luggage that weighed
more than thousand pounds they trav-
eled more than fifteen hundred miles in
a little more than ten months, some
times not advancing more than five miles
in day. The greater part OF the
distance was made in boats, travelling
down the Mackenzie and Youkon rivers
and tributaries, but they had to make
boats. canoes, RATS and sleds, which
had repeatedly to be abandoned because
of the character of the route. The
sleds were necessary for travelling in the
snow and the boats in the rivers. They
followed the Mackenzie, which is one OF
the largest rivers of our continent,
northward from latitude fifty-six degrees
10 sixty-eight degrees, and there turning
westward, crossed the Rocky Mountains
and struck o branch of the Youkon
river, where they we're resting and re-
cruiting two months ago, when our note
of the trip was written. They were pre-
pairing TO start out again on another ex-
pedition, their destination now being to
prospect the head waters Of the loukon.
They are propably now on their way.
They undertake this adventure at their
own cost and their own risk, IN the
hone of finding some gold deposits that
may pay them for their suiferings, prIya-
tions, danger and expenditure. For
more than twenty years now the western
slope of our continent has been ex-
plored By adveuturers, actuated by sim.
liar motives, most Of them graduates OF
the California plaoers. They have found
and developed the mines Of Nevada,
Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Utah
and Fraser basin, and now we hear OF
them among the SHOWS of Alaska, and
In the vicinity of the Arctic ocean.
Their enterprise, courage and perse-
veranee deserve fsF greater re ward
than they usually receive.

A curious dinner was recently given
at one OF the principal restaurants in
Paris. Thirteen covers had been laid,
but to the surprise of the walters sim
gle guest made his appearance, who,
after pushing twelve chairs close to the
table, as if they we're engaged, quietly
sat down and dined alone. The mystery
was afterwards explained. Twenty
years ago thirteen friends-amongst
whom we're Alfred de Musset, Theophile
Gautier, Count de Flehac, etc.-met at
the restaurant in question and agreed to
to dine together every year on the same
day, keeping the places of those who
died, as if their guests were to be pres
ent. The next year they were only
eleven in number, two years after ten,
then seven, and so on. The last but one
was Count de Flavingy, who lately de,
parted this life. The solitary guest at
present was NJ. Rubelles, painter OF
some repute, aged eighty-four.

the great Bazaine trial is going on.
Among other interesting items TO be
found in Veron's "reminiscences, souve-
Mrs and historietti Of the place is the
following anecdote told by very aged
man, who was once under other regimes
an attache of the place. 1t was in the
spring of 1892 said the old man, and
Louis Philippe had run down to Iri-
anon, accompanied by several OF his
children. One of them, lad ten years
of age, tired by the close confinement
of travelling, as soon as ne got well
on the grounds, in spite OF the admoni-
tions of his tutor, started of In wild,
harem.scarem scamper over the garden,
and in his headlong gait tumbled very
unroyally into an artificial lake. l
heard said he, the boys cries, and ran
to the spot, but when reached the lake
| found he had been pulled out by a
young sergeant de service, who had beep
taking a turn in the garden. The
young prince, shivering with cold and
dripping like drowned rat, begged the
officer and myself not to let his father
and his tutor know OF his mishap, and
requested me to conduct him privately
to his apartments. That boy is to-day
