by treaty stipuIutiuns to hunt over
the sanle. II Is expected that Con-
greSs next winter will abrpgate The
existing treaty and cDufne these
Indians to their present reservation
beyond the boundary lines of WyOm-
ing Territory. The preseIt policy
Of the government toward the Sioux
Is likely 10 result in permanent peace
and the civilization 0f these saNSgcs.
The Just aud humane treatment Of
this wur-like tribe and the presence
Of United States troops ut their HgCn-
ciVs, will prevent the recurrence Of
d"epredatiuns which heretofore have
made this section of the Territory
unsafe aud undesirable for settlement.
THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
The gryScr region Of the Upper
Yellowstone, which Congress has
wisely set apart as Il National Park,
is unguestionJbly the most astOniSh-
ing combination of natural wonders
and Of imposing and beautiful
scenery in the world. The report Of
United States geOiOGiStS, who have
repeatedly visited that region, fully
demonstrate this fact. When the
park shall become accessible by rail
rnads-say five years hence-we pre-
diet that il will become the great
summer resort and sanitarium of the
continent. For sight-seers and lovers
Of the wonderful and picturesque it
Will have mOT attractions than
Niagara, Yosemite and the White
Mountains combined; and there ia
the best reason to believe that the
myriads of hot and mineral springs
in the Yellowstone Park possess val
liable curative properties. The
summer climate in this region is de-
lightfully cool, bracing and healthful.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Our people are mainly from the
Western and Southwestern states,
and, though few in number, are
energetic, enterprising and intelii-
gent. They are the nucleus of what
is TO be the leading commonwealth of
the new Northwest. The school
system of Wyoming is excellent and
abundantly sustained. The Terri
tory is free from debt.
Several of the counties have incur
red Indebtedness by the making of
needed, permanent improvements;
which debts are represented by
county bonds redeemable in from ten
to twenty years and are consequently
not hurdensOme.
With the opening up to settlement
OF Northern Wyomingth the tide ofim-
migration will pour into this Terri
tory, as it formerly has into CaIifor-
mia or Kansas. The impetus thereby
given To III mining Interests, to
stock raising, agriculture and wool
growing, Will give occupation to a
large population and add much to
the wealth of the nation.
In short, considering climate,
healthfulness, fertility variety. and
abundance of natural riches, and the
location on the line of the great
national thoroughfare, the Union
Pacific railroad, we know of no
part of the Western country, which
eXcells Wyoming, the Youngest
child of Uncle Sam.
1t is no place for droneS or dandies;
but for hard work, honest endeavor,
and capital backed by brains, it offers
Il wide field and a reasonably sure
reward.

Her flag oe white blown stars unfurled,
They tnr1ed about they saw the birth
OF suddfn dawn upon the world,
Again Aey gazed; they saw the face

AnE they descended and did roam
Through level distances set round
By room. They saw the silences
MOIe and beckOn; saw their forms.
Their very boards, ofttimes in storms,
And heard them talk like silent seas.
On unnamed heights black blown and brown,
And torn like battlements Of Mars,
They saw the darkness come down,
! Like curtains loosened from the dome
OF Gods cathedral, built Of stars.
1heysaw the snowy mountains rolled.
And heaved along the nameless lands
Like mighty billows, saw the gold
OF awful sunsets, saw the blush
Or sudden dawn, and felt the hush
OF Heaven when they sat down,
And hid his face IN dusky hands;
Then pitched the tent. where rivers run
As if to drown the fallen sun.
The long and lonesome nights; the tent
That nestles soft in sweep Of erase:
The hills against the armament
Where scarce the moving moon could pass;
The cautious camp. the smOthered light,
The silent sentinel at night!
The wild beasts bowling from the hill;
The troubled cattle believing;
The savage prowling by the spring.
Then sudden passing swift and still.
And bcnded az bow Is b8nt. "a ifs,l sttt

And buried in its bloody place,
The dead man lying on his facel
The clouds of dust, their cloud by day,
Their pillar of unfailing fire,
The far North Star. And higher and higher
They climbed so high it seemed oftsoon
That they must face the falling moon,
That, like some fame-lit ruin, lay
Thrown down before their weary way.
They learned to read the sign of storms
The moons wide circles, sunset bare,
The storm-provoking blood and flame;
And, like the Chaldean shepherds, came
At night to name the moving stars:
And in the heavens pictured forms
OF beasts and fishes Of the sea;
And marked the Great Bear wearily
Rise up and drag his clinking chain
OF stars around the starry main.

The Opera House is thronged with
an expectant audience, for Theodore
Wachtel is to appear in "Der Postil-
on Won Lonjumeau," and all Leipzig
must hear him. Perhaps more than
one person in that assembly is think
ing what fine thing it is to be
favorite actor, and wishing that he
could change places with Wachtel.
The audience even fancy that he must
be as impatient as they for the curtain
to rise and the opera to begin.
While they are sitting let us take
peep back of the scenes. The post
boy stands at the threshold, and the
attendants look from one to the other
with awe-stricken faces. Through
the halfopen door of the dressing
room we see the celebrated Wachtel
in an agony of grief, and can easily
guess that the paper he has dropped
on the floor is a telegram with bad
news. In truth it is, for it brings
word that his youngest son is dying
and wants to see him. He can not

house ring with applause. This one

Attempted Assassination Of e. M.
Woodwork Of Dubuque.

From a correspondence Of the Du-
buque Times we CLEAN the following
account of the narrow escape of E..
M. Woodwork, Esq, of the firm of
Wemott, Howard & Co., of Dubuque,
and brother of w. w. Woodwork,
proprietor Of the Julien House. Mr..
Woodwork has brother Samuel re-
siding in Monticello, and was at his
place visiting, when he was fired upon
by hired man in the employ of the
former. and narrowly escaped with
his life:
About noon yesterday, Samuel
Woodworth had some words with
Hill, growing out of the latter's brutal
treatment Of a horse Of Samuel's he
had been using. Hill declared that
if his way of working did not suit
Mr.. Woodwork he would quit. -
Woodworth took him at his word,
and after dinner settled with him and
paid him off. When this had been
done, Hill commenced using very
abusive language, which Woodwork
resented and ordered him to leave
the house at once. Instead of dong
this, Hill drew a pistol and started
toward Woodwork. The latter
stepped into an adjoining room, clos
ing the door behind him. Two or
three women who were in the room
which Woodwork had just left at
once screamed murder, and one of
them rushed to the door to prevent
Hill from forcing his way in after
Woodwork. Hill placed the muzzle
of his pistol in the woman's face, and
threatened to shoot her if she did not
get out of the way; but like a true
heroine she stood at her post and
kept the villain at bay. Meanwhile
the outcries of the women had reach
ed the ears Of Mr.. E. NJ. Woodwork
and the hired men, who had gone out
to the barn; and they hastened to the
house to see what was the matter
Mr.. Woodwork, (which during the
iCHldluuCl vi ILLS dCCOuIIl VIII Iucstu
E. NJ. Woodworth) arriving consider
ably in advance of the hired men,
When Hill saw him coming he start
ed up stairs. Mr.. Woodwork sup
posed that his brother Samuel was up
stairs, and that Hill was pursuing
him with pistol, followed close
ly in pursuit Of Hill, whereupon the
latter turned and fired upon him, the
bullet passing through his hat, about
half an inch from his head. His face
and eyes are badly powder-burnt, and
he will probably be LAID up for sew
eral days. Immediately after the fir
ing, Hill ran up stairs, jumped out Of
an open window, and escaped. I
have taken pains to get the exact
facts in this matter, expressly for the
Times, and think the statement have
given is correct, as obtained it from
the lips of Mr.. Woodwork himself.
Mr.. Woodwork arrived in Du-
buque by last evenings train from
the west, and two of our physicians
were at snce sent for to examine his
face anfeyes and adopt proper medi-
cal means for his recovery. Mr..
Woodworth's many friends will con-
gratulate him on his escape from the
death that was intended for him.

Making His Shirts.
Galena Gazette.

There is trouble brewing-in fact,
broken out-in a certain family in
this city. Agreeable to the earnest
solicitation of his wife, who knew she
could make shirt just exactly as
well as any regular hand at the bns-
mess, and being sadly i'll need of
that necessary article of wearing ap-
parel, the head of the household pur-
chased bolt of Wamsutta, and
troubled with many misgivings, took
it home and told his wife to go ahead
especially charging her to make the
band l4s inches around, and not one
hair smaller or larger, and to be very
careful with the bosoms. The good
woman anxious to economize. and
sanguine of success, borrowed a pat
tern cut from shirt worn by con-
sumptive neighbor, and slashing into
the cloth, in a remarkable short
space of time had the whole piece
cut up, and basted ready for the ma
chine. We will not detail the suf-
ferings which that miserable hus-
band was called upon to endure until
the work was completed. Every man
whose wife or mother has had the
shirt making fever, knows what it is
to 90 home to dinner and be. COM
PEELED to undress and try on a shirt
basted together and jabbed full of
pins and pulled and hauled all over
the house, while your better half is
trying to fit the thing to your back
This is subject we cannot dwell up
on and keep out of the mad house.
In the course of time the cloth was
all made up, the wife was proud of
her achievements, and the garments
were turned over to the washer wo-
man to be done up. There was a
terrible toreboding, however, in the
mind of the husband, a something
which words cannot describe, hang
heavy upon his heart; but not until
he attempted to put on one of his
new shirts was the inward conviction
of that impending calamity fully
verified. The sleeves were rod too
short; the neck band when buttoned
started the eyes from their sockets
and blood to his face; the shirts
were too short by one half behind,
and altogether too long in front, while
the bosom looked as if it had been
shot in and ironed witha coal shovel.
The fact that the wife is willing to
aver that the bands are just exactly
two fingers and a half arouud and
she made the shirts just as Mrs. Slim
kins (the next door neighbor) told
her to, will not be received as COM
petent evidence, and the granting of
a divorce in favor of the husband it
a foregone conclusion, unless the wife
promises on her bended knee, before
high Heaven. that she will never ac-
tempt to make another shirt.
