The railroad company sent ont { spec.
ial train to Casselton on Monday after
noon for short excursion, which was
participated in by about rs ladies and
gentleman from Fargo and Moerhead,
and number Of gentlemen from the
east. The crops are looking beautiful,
and many of the fields will be ready for
the reaper within week. Mr.. Dalrym-
pies farm at Casselton is sight worth
travelling many a mile to see. -Four thou
sand acres of wheat in one body, stand
ing breast high, we'll filled, and thick
and strong as can be, is comfortable
thing to have. Those who ought to be
good judges predict that the entire field
will average thirty bushels per acre.
One hundred and twenty thousand bush
els of wheat to market this fall! Talk
about your Black Hills; why they are
nowhere compared to that! Mr.. Viii
liams' 1000 acre field at Mapleton, is
looking equally as well as Mr.. Dalrym-
pies, and the yield all over the country
will be immense. Truly the farmers OF
the Red River valley have struck bon
anza this year.

A Singular Meeting.

A short time ago John McMullen, and
his son, John w. McMullen, of New
York, were accidentally drowned, and
Marllla McMullen, the widow of the one
and the mother of the other, applied for
letters of administration on her sons es-
tate. On Friday Mrs. McMullen was at
the surrogate's Office when Mary Agnes
McMullen, the widow of the son, appear
ed to put IN her claim upon the estate.
The mother was not aware that her son
had been married, but the production of
a marriage certificate settled the matter.
The two women were disposed to treat
each other fairly. and the result was that
the matter Is to be left in the hands of
the mother, whe is apparently we'll salts
fed with her new found daughter in-law.

The labor strike still continues to In
crease. The cloud which at first appear
ed 'eas mans hand" and Of local ID.
portance only, has suddenly developed
its gigantic proportions until it overshad.
ows the entire capital interest of many
States; possibly may involve the entire
country in the matter of settling this
great problem of desired harmony be-
tween Capital and Labor. This move
ment seems of spontaneous growth and
sprang into existence with such unheard
of rapidity and unanimity as to electrify
the whole country. Although it COM
rnenced as railroad strike, yet it does
not end there It is combined outcry
of the laboring masses Of the land
against the long continued aggressions
Of monied monopoly, under false con-
ception Of its true interest. Capital has
been aggressive, and on every occasion
where pretext was possible, has cut
down the per diem Of the laboring classes
until it has become, with large major
ity Of them, terrible struggle for simply
an existence. The long continuance of
this policy Of aggression towards the Ia
boring interests prepared the way for
the sudden bursting forth Of this long
pent-up spirit of dissatisfaction which

labor problem is a momentuous question,
is fearfully impressed upon us by the
present revolt. The issue is upon us and
we must meet it. We hope that party
measures and political and general and
personal aggrandizement may for time,
at least, be buried out of sight, and such
wise means and practical financial meas
ures be adopted as shall be acceptable to
the laboring and producing classes and
justly renumerative to the monied inter-
ests of the country.

Who was Casabianca?
Youths COMPANION.

Youths Companion.
Owen Casabianca WAS native of
Corsica, on which island he was born
in tho year 1888. His father was Louis
Casabiancs, . distinguished French pol
itician and naval commander and the
friend of Napoleon. He was captain st
this time of the Orient, one of the lar.
gest vessels Of the French navy, mag
nificent ship-of:war, carrying 120 guns
and 500 seamen. OF Casabiancs's
mother ws know bat very little, save
that she was . young and beautiful Cor
sican lady, and devoutly attached to
her son. Owen was her only child, .
handsome, manly little fellow, with hex
beauty in his flashing eyes and dusky
hair. Shs died while he was quite
young, and when the green sod was
placed above her grave, the boy left the
pleasant valley under. the smiling hills
Of Corsica to 90 with his father and
tread the hard deck Of . var vessel
Mere child q he was, Cnabiancs soon
grew to love his father dangerous call
ing, and became 3 favorits with.aA on
board. He Was made midshipmau, and
ct the early age Of ten years participa-
ted With his father in the battle of the
Nile. The ship caught fire during the
act,on. Soon after, Captain Casabian-
c., his father, was wounded BY musket
ball. Not yet disabled he was, struck
in the head some minutes later by
splinter which laid him on the deck in
sensible. His gallant son, unconscious
of the chieftain's doom, still held his
post at the battery, where he worked
like the hero he was. He saw the
flames raging around him; he saw the
ships crew deserting him one by one,
and the boy was urged to fee. With
courage and GOODNESS beyond his years,
he refused to desert his post. Worthy
son of Louis Casabianca, he fought on
and never abandoned the Orient till the
whole of the immense vessel was IN
flames. Then seeking refuge on float
ing mast, he left the burning ship be-
bind him. But he was too late. The
final catastrophe came like the judgment
doom. With an explosion so tremen-
dous that every ship felt it to the bot
tom, the Orient blew up, and from
among the wreck next morning vas
picked up the dead, msngled body OF
the young hero, whose story, romance
and poetry can not make more heroic
than it was.

1120 A0DD04 Tor the Missouri Va4eys
Heretofore, Ill the pine lumber used in
the Missouri valley, has been transported
by rail At heavy expense, either from the
valley Of the Mississippi or from the pine
ries Of Michigan. Common lumber is now
worth $2S per thousand feet at Bismack
while flooring, siding, &c., are from So to
81 more, according to quality.
The day is not far distant however,
when we shall manufacture our own pine
lumber from timber run down from the
upper tributaries of the Missouri and Ysl-
lowstone.
Gen. Buell., WHO'S now engaged in con-
structing the new post on the Big Horn,
at the mouth Of the Little Big Horn, has
a mill in operation, twenty miles above
the post. cutting pine for the construction
Of the post. Those who have explored
that country say there is an immense
body of good white pine, covering an area
of not less than five thousand square miles,
extending to the National Park on one
side and into the Wind River mountains
on the south. This timber can be driven
to Bismarck for one dollar per thousand
feet after it is banked, as there are no OBJ
structions whatever, and no trouble about
the logs running out on to bottoms, as all
the streams keep within their banks dur
ing their high stages. There is always
an abundance of water in the summer for
driving, caused by the melting snow in
the mountains. Steamers can be run up
the Yellowstone and Big Horn to where
the pine timber is first seen, thus ensuring
supplies at cheap rate.
The pine timber Of Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota is in the hands of a
few men, and the standing timber is held
at from three to five dollars per thousand
feet, while here to the west of us is an
immense tract of timber subject to loca-
ton by preemption and homestead, that
is worth more to the country than the gold
mines of California. A-s..- .-... E..
The lumbermen of Minneapolis who,
like Alexander, are looking for new fields
to conquer, will here find a chance to
make fortunes in business that they are
masters of.
They should send up supplies at once
to the new post by the steamer. and then
they could put in crews and cut several
millions the COMING winter.
Bismarck will be the great Quitting
point for all this numbering, and the pio-
neess who develop this business will reap
q rich harvest. -H 81 .-'5.t s-s5 =

CAPTAIN Burton's Discoveries in th,
Land Of Midian.

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Alexandria, informs the
public that Capt. Burton, the African
traveller, has made ssfnd'' of unusual in
terest. At the request Of the Khedive he
has visited:the Land of Midian, the des-
olate region on the eastern side of the
Gulf Of Akabah, the eastermost Of the two
long and narrow estuaries in which the
Red sea ends.
Accompanied by M. George Marie, a
French engineer, Captain Burton landed
in Midian on April I'd, and in an explo-
ration of some weeks explored region Of
ruined towns built of solid masonry, with
made roads, acqueducts FIVE miles long,
artificial lakes, and massive fortresses, all
marking wealthy and powerful people.
Their wealth was based on mining oper.
ations, and Capt. Burton reports the exis-
tence of gold, silver, tin, antimony, and
turquois mines. The auriferous region is
extensive; indeed, the discoverer believes
he has opened up California, and the
Khedive proposes to have the country
worked by European capitalists.
II will be remembered that in the BIZ
BILE, indian is always described as a land
full Of metals, especially gold, silver, and
lead. It is more than probable that Sol
omon's Ophir was situated there, as the
small ships in which he imported gold,
ivory, and peacocks were launched at the
head of the Red Sea. indian is part of
the Egyptian Viceroyalty.

0a1sna, n tho Blalk H1lls,
Amitu, in = recent number Of the
Champion, in speaking .of this embryo
city says:
This 10 the center Of the silver district
sf the Hills. It is = live and growing
town, located in = narrow gulch, sur
rounded by bald and timbefed noun
&tains-distant about eight miles from
+Deadwood via the trail; which BY the
by, is rather = dangerous reute. The
subscriber and his psny took . tumble Of
about ten feet over an embankment o.
this trail 4 couple Of hosrs a9o, and
hence, he, the subscribes, knows whereof
he speaks.
The mining interests ef Galena, e.
pecially its silver mines, aro - import.
ant feature of the Hills, and promise to
rival the famous Comstock lode Of Neva-
da. This sounds like pretty big asser-
ton, but when state, on the best au-
thority obtainable, that some of the ore
assays over $1,000 to the ton, and that,
too, on the surface, or blossom rock, it is
not quite so surprising.
The development Of silver district is
much slower, but more permanent than
a gold district. This fact, then, is salts
factory argument in favor of the Bare
Buttes camp. Still the mines are being
opened up with unusual enterprise. Con-
siderable outside capital is being attract
ed here, and in another year, no doubt,
these hills and gulches will be musical
with the clang and clatter Of mining
machinery. The indications now are in
favor of this conclusion.
The first silver lode Of this district was
discovered on the 10th day Of October,
1876, by the Merrett Bros, and the birth
Of Galena is reckoned from that date.
The town boasts of 600 energetic deni-
zens, and this number is rapidly aug
menting. IN fact it Is one Of the Best
camps in the Hills. There are now
about twenty silver and gold leads being
worked; some Of them have hundred
tons Of ore on the dump. Among the
richest mines would mention the Mer-
retts Brothers, No. and 2, which show
valuable ore; the Florman, now 200 feet
in, assays $4,000 per ton. This is es-
teemed the biggest thing in the district.
The Freeman shows up about $1,000 to
the ton; the Hardscrabble, Elrefuga,
Caridoo, RED Cloud, Sitting Bull, Gen.
Custer, Shovlen & Co., and others be-
