Love on the Yellowstone.

One of Gallatin's fair daughters, while
returning from Wonderland, stopped with
her companions at a Yellowstone ranch.
They had been there scarcely an hour
when one of the proprietors gained the
ear of our heroine and informed her that
hard by was one of the finest, largest, pest
and most skunkum raspberry patches he
ever saw or heard tell of. "Why they
could just scoop them up" etc. he
urged upon her the necessity OF the
berries being pluckedimmediately as they
were dead ripe, millions of them. she
was delighted at the prospect OF gong LOT
the berries, but when she ascertained that
our hero was bent on acting as guide, then
her ardor became dampened. however,
they started.

Emigration Turning Eastward.

The large falling off in emigrants this
year has been yariously commented npon
by the press of the country. The German
authorities are doing their utmost to check
The stream of population that has been
rolling towards this country with increas-
ing volume for the last dozen years. The
English colonies are more attractive to
English emigrants that America, and the
Irish find more work and better pay at
home than formerly. But this summer a
great many emigrants have returned to
Europe. Almost every steamer has carried
large number. Many have gone because
business is dull and wages are low, and
they may do better elsewhere. Others
take advantage of the great reduction in
fares to visit their friends at home, and will
probably return bringing brothers and sis
tiers or friends with them. Now the ocean
has been narrowed from thirty days to ten,
and can be crossed for fifteen dollars in
stead of fifty dollars, there is no reason
why emigrants should not make the voy-
age to re-visitaheir native land.
Fewer Americans have visited Europe
this summer than usual. Still the number
of Americans in Europe all the time is very
large. The American colony in Paris
numbers from fifteen to twenty thousand.
Rome has large society of American stu
dents. artists, and sight-seers. Every Ger
man city has an American population. An
American can travel all over Europe on
the great thOroughfares without finding it
necessary to speak any language but his
own. He finds his countrymen domesti-
Gated wherever he goes. He meets his
neighbors at every stopping place. When
Mr.. Jewell was in st. Petersburg, he open
ed an American reading-room, and found
il filled with his countrymen in week.
Mr.. Washburne remarked the other day
that he hardly realized he had been out of
the country. so many Americans thronged
in Paris all the time. We think chiefly of
the foreigners emigrating to this country
colonists. The return wave is quite as re-
markable as the coming one.-Erchanqe

Capitol Hill.

"0livia'' writes to the Philadelphia
Press: "The exclusive ariStocracy of
Washington is found in that part Of the
city known as Capitol Hill. Upon the
emerald heights crowned with gardens
and flowers, the proud old families of an
cient lineage occupy their ancestral acres
almost under the dome of our beloved
Capitol. Whilst standing on the brow of
the hill, if the eye is directed southwark,
the baronial home of the CAROLS Scourges
the vision with its monastic severity. A
wall as round as the arm of beauty encir-
cles the extensive grounds and the naughty
old castle within is perpetual aggression
to the paint, parvenu and pretence that
spreads itself at the West End The
spirit of holiness seems 10 envelop this
elegant home. At certain hours of the
twenty-four the dainty occupants emerge
to 90 upon their rounds OF daily charity.
Like so many nuns, yet part of the
world, they bear the same relation to
modern society at the capital as the old
French regime to the BOnapaTte reign.
Earlier blossoms of the family tree have
worn the proudest coronets of England;
and these lovely, silver-haired sisters are
characterized by the same cOurtlv refine
ment and queenly grace. To the north,
but within a stnne' S throw of the Capitol.
may be seen the pile once known as the city
home of Gen. Washington. Within the
remembrance of the child of dozen sum-
mers. il remained as the great statesman
left it, except it had succumbed to the
gnawing tooth of time. The high plateau
upon which il was built had in a great
measure crumbled. The windows were
mostly broken and the chimncys were be-
ginning TO fall. But the hand of modern
progress seized it, and a pretentious build
ing made up of the old walls, now marks
the site; too large for clearinghouse
and too small for a hotel, destitute of
kitchens and servants quarters, useless as
a mansion but splendid as tomb. But
nothing in the great laboratory of nature
is lost, for the ghostly brick and mortar
serves to mark the hallowed spot sacred TO
the memory of the Father of his Country,
and no Mount Vernon corporation can
pen cows within the precious enclosure
and peddle pale fluid at so much per gallon
or so much per glass. On Capitol Hill
may be found Christ Church, where Wash
ington and other early Presidents wor-
shipped. The bricks of which it is conStruc-
ted were baked on English soil and tossed
over the stormy Atlantic. The antique
building has none of the fancy airs of the
modern cathedral. but IL is built square
and unpretending, an outward emblem of
the spirit of those who gave it birth. Ii
was made as a defense against the ele-
ments whilst the inmates were holding
communion with the Most High. In the
large. square pews sat Washington and
Lafayette, whilst the gallant Hamilton
held the sip-door that thefirst lady of the
land might enter there"

Longevity in Germany.

The Herald Of Health has an interesting
article on 1.-The Physical Life of Ger
many" pointing out the falsity Of the pre-
vailing impression that the Germans are a
peculiarly long-lived and healthy people.
This assumption is not borne out by vital
statistics or common observation. As COM
pared with the Americans, they are more
subject to bilious and less to nervous COM
plants. Hence teachers and others whose
occupations are purely mental, endure
their work longer without exhaustion than
with us. But American farmers, and all
whose occupation is in the open air, are

Why JOhnsOn'S Ram Failed to Get a
Premium.

Our county fair is just over; but John
sons Cotswold ram did not take the prize
that was offered for the best animal of that
kind. Judge Pitman was chairman of the
committee on rams, and he manifested the
d 'epcst interest in Johnson's ram; indi-
eating clearly that if any sheep ought TO
{ IKE pIize that one ought to. Jolnson's
run was by itself in a pen with high
board fence, and before adiudicating the
prizes the Judge thought he had better 90
in and make a close examination of the
animal for the purpose of ascertaining the
fineness of its wool. etc. As soon as the
Judge reached the interior he walked to-
wards the ram, whereupon the ram began
to lower its head and to shake it CONTINUOUSLY.
Just as the Judge was about to feel the
fleece, the ram leaped forward and planted
its head in the Judges stomach, rolling
him over on the ground. Before the
Judge had time to realize what had hap
pened, the ram came at him again and
began series of promiscuous butts, each
given with the precision and force of a
pile-driver. Ii butted the Judge on the
back, on the ribs, on his arms, ON his
shoHlder-blades, on the bald place on his
head, on his breast, on his shins il bIdted
his nose, ii butted his watch into a mass of
loose cOg-wheeIs. it butted his spectacleS
off, it butted his high hat into black silk
chaos; it buttcd him over into the corner
and up against the fence, then it busted
four boards ont of the fence, butted down
another OF the committee, butted three
small boys into fits, butted the money
taker a. the gate. and then fled outinto the
country, butting harmlessly at the fresh
air. The Judge did not distribute the
prizes that day. When they collected him
from various parts of the pen, they wiped
the mud from his trousers and the blood
from his nose, and sent him home with
perennial stomach-ache and determina-
ton to start after that wandering mutton,
the first thing in the morning, with shot
gun.-Mar Adeler.

FROM WILLOW FORKS.

|
WILLOW FORKS, March Sth, 1874.
Editor Democrat: .H
l take this opportunity of writing
you few lines, thinking that a word
from this part of the country might be
of some interest to the readers of your
valuable paper.
The past winter has been very hard
on stock. Up towards the foot of the
Blue Mountains a great many cattle
and sheep have died and are still dy-
ing, Horses have lived through but
look very thin. The grass is very poor
for this time of year as the weather is
cold and stormy.
The farmers of this vicinity are gen
orally pretty nearly through putting
in their crops. Everything is extreme
ly dull on account of there being no
money in circulation. We have little
or no beef cattle that are fat enough
for the market for the reason that
there are no buyers here. Cows, with
young calves, are worth from SIS to
500; yearlings, from S6 to $S; two
year-olds, from $40 to SIS; and but very
few selling at those figures. Sheep are
very high, but know of no sales.-
Horses are cheap and none selling.
But very little interest is being
taken in politics in this part of the
and think it will continue
80 unless our candidates take more in
5erest in the coming election than they
lid in that of two years ago. If they
lon't stir themselves up and canvass
he county, candidly believe there
will not be more than two thirds of the
'eoplSvote.
From some cause or other Il don't
,now who is to blame) we don't get the
DEMOCRAT at this office more than
wo-thirds Of the time. It has seven
lays to come here, and / certainly
hink it ought to make the trip in that
ime. You will please inquire into
his matter. Yours as ever,
