A Newspaper Scalawag-

Among the hangers on with the Vel.
lowstone expedition was one Harry
Dashiell, representing himself as cor
respondent Of the New York Herald
and the Minneapolis Tribune. On the
strength Of these representatives young
Dashiell was allowed to accompany the
expedition, and from the officers re-
ceived al! the ceurtesies usual to mem:
bers of the press. The way this cour-
tesy was repaid is illustrated by the
fact that the disreputable scamp desert
ed the command on MuscelsheIl river,
and induced two cavalry men and an
ambulance driver to accompany him.
1t is supposed the party reached Bozc-
man city in safety, although they de-
served to have been scalped. This will
be piece Of interesting news to the
citizens of Minneapolis, where young
Dashiell vas we'll known, not only as an
insuhferable snob but az a consummate
ass.
Since tho above vas in type We
learn that Dashisll while in this town,
before tho starting out of the expedi-
ton, borrowed from W. B. Shaw &
Co., merchants here, $40 in cash and
secured credit to the amount Of $50,
on the strength of draft on the Herald:
that Mr.. Shaw sent on the draft, and re.
reived in reply the statement that they
knew no such person. The writer OF
this was a member Of the Minneapolis
Tribune editorial staff at the time the
expedition marched, and feels authorized
in stating that he never was employed
by that paper. 1t is further stated that
upon deserving he stole one horse from
the command and attempted to steal
another.

surprise to many Of our citizens, and

Jackman himself. The appointment 0 t

Power of Comprehension.
From hearth and IIorae.3

ltwas said Of Thoreau, we
believe, that he could take up
any given number of lead pen
Iails without counting. "A cele-
brated trspper once assured US
that he could tell how many
balls he had in his bullet tpouch
by placing his hand on il, and
without stopping to count them,
and added can tell the
number of bullets instantly,
without stopping, as you pro-
nounce a word without spelling
it," Southey was accustomed
to take in the substance of a
book in turning the leaves over
continuously, glancing down the
pages. Houdan, the magician,
trained himself to quickness of
perception. when a boy, by run
ming past a shop window at full
speed, and then trying to tell
what was in it. We once saw
a man on a canal boat who was
amusing himself by going from
passenger to passenger and tell
ing almost every one where ne
had seen him before, on such a
train, in such a hotel, in such a
street, giving date and place to
people with whom he had never
exchanged word. This train
ing ofthe faculties in particular
directions is carried to a mar
velous extreme by back-woods-
men, trappers, and men who
guess the weight Of animals.
Perhaps the most remarkable
instances are the markers, who
leap from log to log at the mouth
of a boom, standing on the log,
and translating instantly an old
mark into a new one, remem-
bering what equivalent to give
for each of a hundred marks,
and chopping it upon the log in
the time that it floats its length.
It is said that Thoreau knew
the relative order of Towering
of all the plants in the Concord
woods, and knew the note of
every bird, and a thousand out
of-the-way things besides.
