S., 900 and ran it into retort, which for
several days remained upon exhibition
in bank window in Deadwood. A plan
was then matured by highwaymen to
capture the .retort on its way to Chey-
enne. Sheriff Bullock, of Deadwood,
got wind of the game, and by exercising
strategy saved the treasure. First. he
caused to be circulated quiet report
that the retort would be sent out via
Cheyenne upon certain day. He then
distributed posse of deputies along the
Sidney route, and two days before the
designated time the $4,000, together
with $125, 900 in dust, were quietly talk
en- to the railroad at Sidney. The rob-
bers stopped the Cheyenne coach an
nounced to carry the treasure, blew open
the IRON box, and found it empty. The
stage was allowed to proceed, but so
chagrined were the "agents'' at their
failure, or SO suspicious that the retort
was concealed about the coach, that they
pursued and again halted that vehicle,
ransacking every piece of baggage,
every bundle and roll of blanket, before
they finally allowed the driver to con-
tinue the trip.
Z Coach-robbing is, however, not al
ways such easy and agreeable work for
the robbers, and sometimes the enter
prising agents encounter such surprise
as during Bazaine's time did a body Of
Mexican reavers who infested the high.
way. Bazaine sent a body of his slim
NEST young soldiers on a decoy stage,
dressed in female apparel, each with a
short carbine under his mantilla. The
vehicle was halted, and the trembling
maidens compelled to disembark, while
the guerrillas prepared to rife the lug
gage. At that moment the trembling.
maidens opened fire, and in thirty Sec
onds dozen Mexicans lay heaped
round the coach, while the solitary sur
Yivor was riding away for bis life, pur-
sued By hot fire. For months after a
petticoat was better guard for stage
on that road than platoon of soldiers.

The Wonderland Of Montana.

A correspondent Of the Idaho States
man, writing from the National Park,
on the Yellowstone, says: For the
past three days we have been reveling in
the wonders of this Plutonic region. On
every side we have had springs hot and
cold, clear and muddy; mountains of
pure sulphur, geysers, throwing water
$50 feet high, OF all shapes, sizes and
variations. Right here. within 200
yards, the thing varies a little; for, in
stead of water oozing from mounds
built up by the sedimentary deposit Of
ages, they are frlnnel-like caldrons fifty
feet from the surface. There is one
that, looking down into it, appears to
be and I think is-a subterranean
river. It is as wide as the Boise river,
and the bubbling, seething noise it
kicks up is almost terrifying. 1t is
very muddy, and from the appearance
Of the trees for 500 yards around, and
the wetness of the surface, it must oc-
casionally spout to an immense height.
Not far away, at what appears to be the
entrance of a cavern, is another boiling
spring like the other, rolling out in
waves from vast hole. It is sealding
hot, beautifully clear, but very sulphur,
GUS. The. rocks around the entrance
are covered with soft sediment of va
rious dark, brilliant colors, on which
many names are written. OF course
we added ours. :"

Food for EurODe.

Every day adds to the list of articles
of food we are shipping to Europe.
Butter, cheese, fresh meat, oysters and
fruit were the notable additions of the
past twelve months, and now the ship
ment of eggs is swelling into enormous
volume. Last year England alone i'm
ported eggs to the value of $13, 900, 900,
and would have taken more if she could
have got them. All kinds of edible
fowls are also in demand.

A FEW DALs,

just few days All, such few
SINCE the summer moon watched around you,
As we ioltered along the golden sand,
heart In heart and hand in hand,
and the waves, in eternal ebb and flow,
Chimed to your sweet words. soft and low.
An me- such few little days ago.
Just few days The wooing breeze
swept softly over the sleeping seas,
Whispering, whispering hope and truth.
In the happy language love teaches youth:
Which the tiny wavelets seemed to know.
AS they broke at the feet that fingered slow
AT their marge few little days ago.
Just q few days and tonight stood
Alone at the edge of the rising food;
There was ever murmur of joy for me
In the angry moan of the rising sea
There was-but a menace, stern and low,
Speaking of treachery, love and woe.
All wrought since a few little days ago.

Reckless Capt. Rhodes.

At the stipulated time Capt. Rhodes
and lady appeared at the falls, The Cap
tain being clad in his favorite suit.
While Mr.. Metcalf, the civil engineer OF
the bridge, was testing the depth of the
water preparatory for the Captains de-
scent, train No. 9 came along, and Capt.
Rhodes, desiring to give the passengers
the benefit of sight as complimentary,
dove from the highest point of the rocks
into the unfathomed deep, seventy feet
below, before Mr., Metcalf could test its
depth. -"
The Captains aim was to clear the
rocky cliff by at least fifteen feet. but,
the height being twice what he judged it
to be, the line of descent brought him
within four feet of the edge of the seem
ingly perpendicular ledge. The Captain
struck the water like dart. head fore
most, and after going down about twelve
feet both. his hands struck smooth
rock, which glanced him into deeper
water; by the sudden change of his
course on striking the smooth rock it
caused a snap in his back, which he did
not seem to mind at the time. His wife
was ready on the ledge below the falls.
He swan with her into the canon of wild
water, and after enjoying (?) ride III the
icy water for few minutes she was
safely landed on shore without her head
or shoulders being wet, which proved
conclusively that the Captains company
would be desirable in case of marine
disaster. After coming out of the water
Capt. Rhodes assembled the embankment
and walked alone to the Cascade House.

Carrier Pigeons.

An ingenious use Of carrier pigeons
is on record. They were employed in
Belgium to smuggle tobacco into France.
Each bird carried from ten to fifteen
grammes Of the weed, and two dozen
pigeons per day were regularly dis
patched. How long, the new industry
had been established is not stated but
one day it came to grief. A bird was
two heavily loaded, and he dropped
with his burden, exhausted, into the
Seine. A police inquiry resulted, and
the whole business was exposed.
French scientists are now discussing the
question whether the bird was merely
overloaded, or whether the tobacco,
heated by the warmth of the animal,
poisoned it.
