PUBLISHING A WORTHLESS HUs-
BAND.-Here is what a Western wo-
man publishes in the Indiana polls
Herald:
A Card.-I wish to caution any
young lady of a romantic turn of
mind to not fall deeply and madly
IN love with my husband, w. 81.
Blanchard, at first sight, as in addi-
ton to his being entirely worthless
as man, he is yet, | ana sorry to
say, my lawful husband-has de-
serted me without any cause on my
part whatever, and spends his time
mostly in company with females of
doubtful reputation. They, i pre-
sumo, foot the bills, as he is utterly
too worthless to pay bills of his own
contracting. AS he boasts of having
money. l wish, should he see this,
he may conclude to go and redeem
the lease that he forged on his own
father and gave to the Wheeler e.
Wilson folks, and which / have
worked hard to earn money to pay
up and save him from the peuiten-
tiary. Mrs. SALLIE BLANCHARD.
A WOMAN'S WALK.-A writer in
Boston paper says: "The changes
in woman's gait are more mysteri-
Gus than the transformations in her
garments. One year she walks a
queen, stately and graceful; the next
she frisks along painfully like a
spring lamb or playful kitten.
Now she bends forward, lets her lit
tie hands drop from her wrists, and
wriggles as if she wished to adver-
tise the fact that her boots were too
tight, thing which is totally unnec-
essary; again, as at present, she
throws her shoulders back and goes
forward with long steps. The next
change must almost inevitably tend
to show languishing movements Nc
other style Of locomotion will be
possible with the narrow skirts
which are to be worn.''

THE LYON COUNTY TIMES
Love on the Yellowstone.
The Montana Ardnt Courier SAYS:

The Montana Ardn Courier says
One of Galatians 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 and
best raspberry patches be ever heard
tell of. "Why, they could just scoop
them up etc. He urged upon her
the necessity of the berries being
plucked Immediately, as they were
dead ripe-millions of them. She
was delighted at the prospect of go
ing for the berries, but when she as
certained that our hero was bent on
acting as guide, then her ardor be-
came dampened. However, they
started.
We bid adieu to any further de-
scription of this novel love scene, as
now follows the conversation in
which a mountaineer wooed for
mer city belle, whom two hours be-
fore he had never seen, showing the
absurdity of the old 90 faint heart
and s.fair lady" business.
"Say, do you see them fences?'
HOh, yes; they are nice fences"
"Well, them fences is ourn."
"Whose?'
"My pard's and mine : half is
mine and half is his'n, and those
fields is ourn, and the house, and
stock, and chickens, and mortgage,
and all on the ranch is ourn-half is
mine and half is his'n."
."Ah, indie ed!'
Eyes and you don't know how
much we got in the bank besides,
and if 1 was to get wife you bet I'd
get more than half. And l suppose
you don't know that ana the best
hunter and guide in the Rocky
Mountains? Well, 1 am, and what
is more, have enough quartz to
buy out all the post-otfices in Mon
tana and pay for running them be-
side. Why, have fortune just in
one mine alone. The boys tell me
it's brass mine, but if it amt brass
it's gold, sure, and if it amt that it's
good quartz, anyhow, and don't
don't you think 1 ought to get mar
ried?"
"Most assuredly 1 do. A young
man possessing your wealth and |
good looks should not hesitate a mo-
ment about entering matrimony. l !
am surprised to think you are single.
Are your
.Well, yes, 1 suppose so. But
Well, just have enough grain over
yonder to last two years, and so you
see l can stand oft the grasshoppers
one year anyhow. And you need
not be afraid of Indians up here;
they don't come this high up-and
say, don't you want to marry me?
There now"
"Oh, sir, why-why, this is so un-
expected, you know, and besides, |
II should deem it my duty to in |
form you that l am engaged to be
married to gentleman in the States. |
| regret that your affections are not |
bestowed on some young lady who |
is heart-free. Please do not refer to !
the subject again"
"Well, l wouldn't have done so
now, only I heard as how you
didn't talk pretty to a nice got up
Bozeman chap, and told him you
didn't want to marry him nohow,
and l suppose after that 1 stood a
good show of catching you myself. |
And-and raising his voice. there's
the raspberry patch over there, and,
"come to think Of it, don't think
.ihey are as thick now as they used
TO be.

Then he coiled up on his bed Of rags
