She May Go.

The other day some boys were play
ing marbles in front Of a Sixth avenue
house and boastinR 20 each other where
their parents were going for summer
trip this year. A boy belonging To the
house was a close listener until one Of
I'll" boys espied him and shouted:
Sonny, il your ma going TO saraioRa
this summer?
J guess she is, replied the hoy.
III bet she won't. Your dad hasn't
got money enough.
Well if my ma takes notion to 90

IEe Snow Plough Men.
r IA the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise.

l'r.ni the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise.
The men who run the snow plough
trains in the Sierrss deserved thoughts
from all travellers. 1t is a touching
sight to see them, at signal, take their
stations. Behind the plough are ten or
dozen heavy freight locomotives.
Should a rail break under the frs: en-
gine, of conrse the others would be piled
in an undistinguishable heap in mo-
ment, and yet through days and nights
these men keep their places. Last week.
without a moments rest or relaxation,
one of these trains fought for twenty
eight hours against bank of SNOW, only
Iwo miles in length, before it was hro-
ken. One white man and two China
men were crushed to death, but, as in
battle, the fallen were carried TO the
rear, and the fight against the storm
never relaxed until the way was cleared.
To ride through the snow at Emigrant
Gap and Blue Canvon is like floating Al
the bottom of canal the banks of
which are twenty feet high. This shows
how patiently and per@istently the work
has gone on. Against the storm, the
cold, the avalanche, the FIRE and steam
and iron these men have Ioiled, flanking
and conquering winter in his very
stronghold, though backed by every one
of his prime ministers. Men on battle
fields fight for glory and for the kind
of their countrymen.
Men often make super human exertions
for great rewards. That no selfish mo-
tive may be prescribe to the snow
plough men to tarni<h the glory due
their heroic and self-sacriicing acts. We
will state that we understand their re-
ward is 50 per dav.

A Procession of Dead Men.
[From the Denver Times March 24.1

From the Denver Times March 24.1
A strange funeral procession arrived
at Santa Fe one day last week. There
were twenty freight wagons in the pro-
cession. and each wagon was a hearSe
loaded with the remains of soldiers in
different stages Of decay. These mad
been buried, one by one. ranging through
period Of several years. at Fort Craig,
and recently the remains were ordered
removed to the Government cemetary at
Santa Fe. The bodies were exhLmed.
packed in gunny sacks and each one la
belIrd, just like sacks of ore. Only one
body, that Of Lieutenant Drew, was
transported in a coffin. The officer per.
ished of thirst on the Jornodo del
Muerta six years ago. His remains
when exposed to inspection at Santa Fe,
presented a rather natural appearance.
The tongue, or mouth, evidenring Of il,
still prntrnded from the horrible death.
In this singular and ghastly procession
were I40 bodies. The wagons 4 iscbarg-
ed their skelet0nic freight in the Gov
eminent cemetery. and each Runny y-sack
and contents was dropped into a separate
grave. There was no religious or militia
ry services or ceremonies, and the men
hired to accompany the procession tossed
the sack of bones about with NJ little
care and feeling as they would boxes of
merchandise. A spectacle 20 weird is
not seen every day in Santa Fe.

The Chickasaw Guards Offer to AVenge
General Clusters Death-Sitting-
Bull in Great Alarm.

Last night members OF the Chickasaw
Guards informed US that Hon. Casey
Young, member of congress from this
district, had sent telegram from Wash
ington, asking if the company would
tender ite services to the government for
the purpose of fighting the Indians. In
answer to the inquiry, Colonel Young was
authorized to tender the services Of the
ChickasaW Guards for the purpose of
svenging General Custer's death. The
Chiekasaws, who number eighty rack
and file, are anxious for the government
to sccept their services. This offer, com
ing as it does from southern youths and
Ex-Confederate officers, evidences the
fact that the men who took part in the
rebellion are attached to the Union, and
loyal to the trusts of the government.
The announcement of the fact that the
Chickasaws had offered their services
created quite stir, and among
some people, aroused patriotic excite
ment. Some of the ChickasaWs are al
ready preparing to start, and the fate of
Sitting-Bull and his warriors cannot
long remain undecided. Our readers
are hereby informed that they will re-
ceive full and accurate descriptions of
the campaign, including all the Skin

The War against Disease.

The war waged against disease by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters goes brave
ly on. Dispatches are constantly re-
ceived from the cured indicating the de-
cisive nature Of the advantages obtained
by the great botanic cordial over its for
midable adversary. Malarial fevers, con-
stipation, torpidity of the liver and kid
neys, general debility, nervousness and
rheumatic ailments invariably yield to
this conqueror and preventive of dis
ease. For the infirmities incident to the
decline of life it is also an excellent spe-
cific. 1t hsstens convalescence and re.
pairs the rsvages Of i'll health by facili-
tating the conversion of food into blood
of rich and nourishing quality. The
appetite is improved by it, and in cases
of nervous disease it tranquilizes that

feetually than any mineral sedative.
