the news and raise a company OF volun-
teers to help defend the LOlO trail. 1t
was / l O'Clock in the forenoon, when he
left Deer Lodge, and the hour hand had
not reached two o'clock when he pulled
up his foaming steed in the city of Butte.

Lodge, reused by the steady hoot-beats

the watchers doubtless thought them a

The Little Years.

These years these years these naughty Year
Once they were pretty things;
Their fairy footballs met our ears,
Our eyes their glancing wings
They fitted by our schooiboy way;
We chased the little inps at play
We knew them. soon. for trfcksy elves;
They brought the college gown,
With thoughtful books filed mp our shelves
Darlened our lips with down,
Played with our throat, and los the tone
OF manhood had become our own.
Alas those little royues, the years,
Had fooled me many a day.
Plueked half the locks above my ears,
And tinged the rest with gray.
They've left me wrinkles great and small
fear that they have tricked US all.
Well give the little years their way:
Think, speak and act the while;
Lift up the bare front 10 the day,
And make their wrinkles smile.
They mould the noblest living head;
They carve the best tomb for the dead.

The Most StupendOus Work of
Human Hands.

The Great Wall of China was measur-
ed in many places by Mr.. Unthank, an
American engineer lately engaged on
survey for a Chinese railway. His
measurements give the height at 1Sfeet,
and a width on top of Is feet. Every
few hundred yards there is tower "a
feet square and from 20 to 40 feet high.
The foundation of the wall is of solid
granite. Mr.. Unthank brought with
him brick from the wall, which is sup
posed to have been made 200 years be-
fore the time of Christ. In building this
immense stone fence to keep out the
TaTtars, the builders never attempted to
avoid mountains or chasms to save eX-
pense. For 1900 miles the wall goes
over plain and mountain, and every foot
of the foundation is in solid granite and
the rest of the structure solid masonry.
In some places the wall is built smooth
up against the bank or canyons or preci-
pices, where there is a sheer descent OF
1000 feet. Small streams are arched
over, but in the larger streams the wal
runs to the waters edge and tower is
built on each side. On the top of the
wall there are breastworks OF defenses
facing in and out so the defending force
can pass from one tower to the other
without being exposed to any enemy
from either side. To calculate the time
of building or cost of this wall is beyond
human skill. So far as the magnitude
of the work is concerned, it surpasses
every thing in ancient or modern times
of which there is any trace. The Pyra-
mids of Egypt are nothing compared
to it.

Martyrs 10 Science.

Two surgeons died recently in
Paris Of Diptheria which they con.
tracted by ~endeavoring to save the
lives of patients. 1t appears that
after performing a surgical operation
for the relief of the Group, it is found
necessary to facilitate the breathing
of the patient by drawing air through
the diseased windpipe. This the
unfortunate surgeons effected in each
ease by APPLYING their W lips aud
sucking the air through. 1t is greatly
to the,honor of the medical profession
that its members are so ready to risk
their lives to save those of their
patients. But there seems to be
force in the suggestion of the Medical
Record that this great risk might be
avoided 10 cases of Group AID dip
iberia by substituting a suitable in
strumental Continuance for the sur
geon's mouth. There are probably
other instances where such an in
strument might be of service, as for
instance 10 case OF a bite from o mad
dog or a snake. The needed instru-
ment is doubtless easily within the
scope of invention.

wonaerraI pesrIf.ciIon. In Colorado

On Friday last we received a call
from Mr.. l.. Allen, an elderly gentle
man from Rochester, New York, who
came to Colorado about q year ago.
By the advice of physicians NJ. Al
len was instructed to keep in the
open air as much as possible, and so
has travelled extensively through
Southern Colorado, prospecting and
viewing the country. He gave us
the particulars of q strange discovery
he made on one of his tramps, but
declined to give the exact locality,
mentioning only that it was some
distance from Peublo. At the place
mentioned several large mounds or
foothills appear rising from the plains,
and situated some distance from the
mountains. Mr.. Allen visited these,
and the first thing peculiar he notic-
ed was what appeared to be a petriti-
ed cocoanut. 1t was much larger
than the ordinary fruit of this kind,
but almost perfect in formation. The
three eyes Of a cocoanut were plain
ly to be seen. On breaking open the
strange stone or petrifaction the shell
appeared perfect, being some halt an
inch in thickness, and the inside was
composed of white crystal quartz.
Mr.. Allen continued his investiga-
tons and discovered a number Of 9TH
er specimens similar to the first also
others resembling other kinds OF
fruits. Some of these contained
what appeared to be seeds embedded
in quartz. Specimens of pctriiied
wood in large quantities were also
found. The mounds Or bills appear
ed to be made up Of loose, sandy soil,
aud shells were found in great varie-
ty and quantity.
The strangest part of the discov-
cry, however, was yet to come. In
digging into the side OF the bill Mr..
Allen unearthed what seemed to be
a perfectly petrifed sea turtle, and
before closing his Investigations
about a dozen of these were dlscov-
cred. lie described them to US as
being almost perfect, and no doubt
appears to remain in his mind but
that they are genuine ~petrifaetlons
of sea turtle such as are found in the
Pacific. From the numerous speci-
mems Of shells that are found at vari-
Gus places on the plains, and num-
bers of which are found in the neigh
bcrbood, many persons are led to be-
lieve that the great plains on which
we live were at n time the bed OF
an immense ocean, and this discovery
tends 10 confirm that theory. We
learn that several gentlemen Of this
citv. to whom Mr.. Allen has disclos-
ed bis discovery, propose accompa-
nying him in a wagon to the scent of
his explorations and bringing With
them some OF the new found curiosi-
ties Colorado Springs Mountain

A young gentleman of Blandon
Pa, has made wonderful discoveries g.
He has discoyered q class Of folk
who extract the light (Which is cleo
tricity) from their victims brains,
surcharge themselves Herewith, i'm
part it to their victims and then con-
troll them for criminal purposes.
They agree TO cease troubling their
agents if these will do their viii, and
the temptation IS so potent that the
agents always submit. A resident
of Blandon, Pa. says: These tor
mentors accomplish their foul work
in this way. They have two but
tons, like acorns, made of something
like wood, but l think they are not.
They are joined together by two
metal links. They are called Mega
tive and Affirmative, or Sympathy
and Antipathy. These, in the hands
of the operators, are dangerous
weapons on the subjects OF their

Splendid Gifts 10 Plus IN.

The Jubilee of Plus TX. brings a
throng of dusty pilgrims with stat
and crook and bag to Rome, the cen.
ter of the Roman Catholic world
We who live in the old city recog.
nize new corners by their red guide
books and their evident look of being
sight-seers. They come from all the
nations of the world to lay down
offerings at the feet of the Sovereign
Pontif. Although many have arriv.
ed and more are expected until The
Sd of June, the fftieth anniversary
OF the Pope's conservation as q Bish.
op, it is estimated that the number
will not equal that of the Spanish
pilgrims last autumn, which was
1000.
The various rich and singular gifts
that the pilgrims bring to the Pope
are all to be exhibited in a gallery of
the Vatican, which was one of the
Loggie Of Raphael. The exhibition
lasts one month-from the 2lst OF
May to the 2lst of June. Showers
of gold seem to rain in on the Vati-
can, and all the riches Of the world
and the glory of them are represent
ed in these gifts, which are humbly
offered at the feet of Plus IN. There
are goo English pilgrims from the ar
istocracy, bringing f20, 900 Ameri-
cans, headed by Archbishops Wood
of Philadelphia, Bsily of baltimore,
and representative of Cardinal Ne
Closkey of New York, bring in all
$ll0, 000. There is a box of unset
diamonds from South America, o gold
cup from Lyons, two keys half a
yard long, one of silver and the other
Of geld, symbols of the Pontifcial
power, from Clermont !; a gilt oak
throne, covered with ancient sculp-
lures, and $4,000 francs from Mar
settles, and three purses fell of gold, one
for poor priests, one for the semina-
ries, and n to repurchase the ec-
clesiastical properties from Lisle.
One Of the gifts is an album richly
bound, the leaves of which are bank
notes. A society of workingmeu
sends a silver statue of Jesus as q la.
borer; and the ex-oficers of the Pom
ti6cal army have sent the Pope q
sword. The Belgians send thirty
affairs for poor churches, and the
Swiss Belgians bring no less than ff.
ty silver watches. The clericals of
Venice send a magnificent chandelier
wrought at the glass factory at Salvi-
ate. This is described as an artistic
wonder. Its decorated with wreaths
and bouquets of glass flowers 10 va
rious %colors, with appropriate inscrip-
tons, with the Papal tiara, and with
the lion OF St. Mark.
The Sd of June, when the principal
festivities take place, comedies
strangely enough with the national
holiday. or the FIESTA Della Statute.
Both parties, clericals and liberals.
are judiciously taking measures to
avoid disturbances in the city. The
fireworks, which are always display
ed from Castle st. Angelo, we're omit

the jubilee to be observed the day be-
fore.--N. Y. Post.
