THE YELLOWSTONE.
The Report OF Chief Engineer
ROsSer.
A More Practical G Route for the
Northern Pacific Road Found.

NEW York, August lG. - General
Rosser in charge of the railroad sur
vey of Stanley's Yellowstone expedi-
ton, has submitted to the authorities
of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany his official report of the results
thus far accomplished by the expedi-
ton. He finds the new route across
Western Dacotah from the Missouri to
the Yellowstone river entirely practical
bic and satisfactory, it being greatly SUI
perior TO those of former days. The dis
tance is twenty-one miles shorter than
the survey oflS7l. The gradients are
moderate, and the average of work
per mile IL considerably less, and the
number of important bridgesi is reduced
nearly two-thirds.
The Little Missouri river, which for
mer surveys crossed seven and eleven
times, is crossed but once on the line.
AS located, the route runs through only
one mile of "ba1p or clay lands, just
East of tho Little Missouri. With few
exceptions, the country is rolling
prairie, sometimes rising into low hills,
the grass being excellent and soil good.
Good water was found the entire DIS
tancc, Coal outcrops at points inveins
of several feet thickness. Timber is
more abundant than on former routes.
The report states that the min body
of General SANKEY'S expedition ac-
companied the scientific corps, and
most of the press correspondents did
not accompany the engineer, who was
escorted by General Clusters detach-
ment, ani followed the old abandoned
route south of Heart river. Hence the
description of the regions traversed by
the train command do not apply to the
country traversed by the new route for
the railroad.
The directors Of the company have
accepted the new line recommended by
General Rosser from Bismark, the
present end of the track, to Yellow
stone crossing, and have called for pro-
posalsfo grade and bridge this section
oftwo hundred and fifty miles. The
expedition are completing the survey
westward up the left bank of the yell
lowstone To Prize Hill, where 1t will
join the survey made last year from
the west, and thus complete the sur
veyed line across the continent The
entire command Is expected to return
TO Fort Rice about the first Of October,

MOB.
SHERIFF KILLED AND FOUR SERl.
OVSLY WOUNDED.
PRISONER RESCUED AND HANGED

Sr. LOUIS, August l6.-Peter Kessier
and his son were arrested some time
since in Galloway county for stealing
mules, aud taken to Fulton and COM
mitted for trial. Fearing for the safety
of his prisoners, the Sheriff removed
them to Cole county for safe keeping.
On the way thither, the .son managed
to escape and is still atlarge.
Recently the old man was convict
ed and sentenced to five years IN the
penitentiary. The sheriff started
with the pris ,ner, but while on the
way to the depot the hack was fired
into by mob, killing the Sheriff and
seriously wounding three others. Tde
mob then took the old man out and
hanged him. a large party are scour-
lug the country in search of the son,
who will doubtless meet similar fate
should he be caught.

Getting Rid OF q Husband. 3
Here is . curious story Of the old
slavery times, which was picked up
from western Carolina paper. In
the gold mining regions Of Burke
county lived q well-to-do free col.
orcd woman, named Nancy Boyce.
She WAS engaged to marry Jack, .
slave, and in order to, have every
thing pleasant che put her hand IN
her pocket and bought him Of his
master. But she was shrewd
enough to take q bill Of sale for
him fortunately, - it happened, for
Jack turned out to be utterly
worthless, and . perfect sota But
little need was there for Nancy to
go to the courts for relief by divorce.
She knew . better way than that.
She owned her man and simply
sold him to q slave dealer, " 20 car
ried him off to the south sest, so
that the sharp Nancy was never
bothered by him again. Husbands
have been badly sold before, though
not in this particular way.

A summcv whitewash.

To make q good whitewash for
outside work, take half a bushel of
quickime, Tor in that proportion,
and slack it in the usual manner
with boiling water. Add to it one
pound of common salt, half pound
of white vitriol, and one gallon of
sweet milk The salt should be
dissolved, and so should the vitriol
bafore mixing it, The sooner the
wash 10 applied the better. A
little liquid indigo or Prussian blue
will tint it. else lampblack, brown
sienna, ochre. DO. Dissolve some
alum, and add to the mixture, and
the whitewash will not rub of.
Some people add pint Of mo'as-
ses Cinstead of the alum] to every
three gallons of wash, to make the
latter stick. A whitewash for
wood, brick, or stone, almost as
good as paint, and looking IS well,
may be made by stacking the half
bushel of lime in boiling water as
above, keeping it covered during
the process. Then strain it, and
add peck of salt previously dis
solved in warm water. Then add,
also three pounds ground rice that
has been put into boiling water and
boiled to thin paste; half . pound
powdered Spanish whiting, and q
pound Of clear glue dissolved in
warm water. Mix all well TO-
gether, and let the mixture stand
for several days. Keep this wash
ready in q kettle, and when used,
, put it on hot aspossible, with paint
or whitewash brushes.

New About r.As-Ho,ss.

Josh Biliingss says he knows .
scientific farmer 80 enamored of
chemical investigations that he does
not set q post without first analyz-
ing the soil to see whether il is fit
for the purpose. But it seems, af-
ter all as though science was ready
to meddle with post holes. The
editor of the Cleveland Herald has
been looking into one, and this is
what he observed:
Our theme is the modern post
hole.-Not very large theme. A
post thole nowadays is not as large
as in old post hole times. That fact
is due to improvements in excava
ton. We use,l to dig post-hole.
There is no such thing - digging .
post hole now. After the digging
era came the boring of the post
hole. Boring has been considered
the most Efficient means of penetra
ton. If one wished q favor he Was
sure to gain il by persistent boring.
The bored one would yield If mere
ly for the sake of peace. The bore,
or the borer, may be deemed .
nuisance, but he invariably accom-
pGshes his object. And 80 when
boring of the post hole was inven-
ted there was nothing more -as
was supposed-in the post hole
way to be achieved The post-hole
progress has been rapid. He ID
not an old man who remembers
when the post-hole was dug with a
short handled spade, the digge.
breaking his back and getting the
| rheumatism in his knees In leaning
over and getting down to the bot
tom Of his work. The finish of q
post hole-for it must 60 below
the line of frost-was accomplished
by the digger being buried head
down and feet up. Somebody was
smart enough, finally, to invent 9
long handled spade, and then the
post hole could be dug without GO
ing upon the stomach, and without
turning all the blood Of the body
into the head Bus still the hol,
necessarily must be dug much lar
gSr than the post, and consequent
y two thirds of the dirt which hat
been lifted ont had to be agar
thrown in and pounded down
around the post But there cam

discovered than an augur could b,

with far less labor than the old wa,
