The steamship Wisconsin, which arri-

pool, brought among her steerage passen-
gers four hundred and ffty-nine Mormon
emigrants, who are principally from
Great Britain and Scandinavia. About
1900 new converts to the Mormon faith
had previously arrived in the United
States this season, and about five hundred
more will leave Liverpool October 7th.

George would surely have done. Short

schoolmaster thought very naturally that
George wished something moro substan-

carefully to see that no one was near, he
too said, Ego to the Devil, and shat the
door in the guests face.
Poor George was puzzled as to the
manner of finding the person he was sent
to, but he resolved to go out into the
world where perhaps he might meet him

with whom he had been in love since he

A BOYS IDEA OF HEADs.-IIeads are
different shapes and sizes. They are full
of notions. Large heads do not always
hold the most. Some persons can tell
just what man is by the shape of his
head. High heads are the best kind
Very knowing people are called long
headed. A fellow that won't stop for
anything is called hot-headed. If he is
not quite so bright he is called soft head
ed. If he won't be coaxed nor turned
away he is called pig-headed. Animals
have very small heads. The heads of
fools slant back. When your head is cut
off you are beheadcd. Our heads are
covered with hair, except bald heads
There are barrel heads, heads Of sermons
and some ministers used to have fifteen
heads to one sermon-pin heads, heads

oxen head winds, drum heads, cabbage

On Sunday last. . lively row took
place at . dance-house in Sidney, which
was kept up all day and all night, and
terminated Monday in a shooting
scrape. The "cook of a dance house,
who was in the melee of Sunday, was
pursued on Monday by some parties
who had been fighting him. They
threw stones and other missiles at him,
following him into a house and break
ing chass over::his head. He at last
succeeded in getting hold Of a revolver,
and placed himself on the defensive in
a corner of the room, warning his pur-
suers to keep back, but they rushed
upon him, and he shot a man named
Sweeney three times, infiicting prob
ably fatal wounds. A man named
Williams, who was one of the assail-
ants, got a shotgun and hunted for
the cook, but could not find him.
A drummer for a Chicago wholesale
house, who was on his way to Cali
fornia, was enticed into one of the
gambling dives at Sidney on Monday
last, and robbed of $50 in gold, by the
Sidney sharks. 'iaq o.

me Value Of Gold at Deadwood.

About the LIST Of January a petition
was circulated among the business men
and houses at Deadwood, to have some
united action taken to reduce the trade
value of dust from 500 to S1S per
ounce. The experience of every man
in trade who had occasion to ship dust
teaching him that, expenses out, he
could not realize its cost at the mint or
at eastern banks after the thorough
"blowing" and cleaning it received
at their hands. The result was that
every one favored S1s as the standard
value, and the LIST of March was named
as the day upon which the change was
to be made. 1t came, and with it a
general rush to the manufacturing jew
elers for new sets of weights at the
new standard, and for a day or two all
went well enough, but later on a lead
ing dealer announced that he would
take dust at $40 still, but should make
"a corresponding price. This was
speedily followed by another n adj
vertising that he would sell his goods
" cheaper than anybody" and make
prices to his customers upon a green
back basis, or upon either S1S or 800
per ounce for dust, just as his custom
ers wished. This settled the question,
and me bank put out a sign, "Gold
dust received at $50" r~eserving, of
course, the right to blow it to suit
themselves. All that has come of the
matter is the extra business given to
the jewellers for new weights, and prob
ably until some banking house can and
will give currency in exchange for dust
at its actual test value, all will receive
and pay it out at $40, as heretofore.

Where Blood and Treasure Might Have
Been Saved.
In 1873, Hon. VIM. H. Clagett, then
Delegate to Congress from Montana,
secured an adequate appropriation for
the building of two military posts in
the Sioux country. The money was
prematurely expended for other pur-
poses, and the posts were not built.
Now, after the expiration of four
years, marked by an immense sacrifice
Of life and treasure in an apparently
vain endeavor to subdue the murderous
and merciless Sioux, Congress has
again appropriated money for the build
ing of those posts, and the work is in
progress.
Had the posts been built when the
first appropriation was made, the Sioux
nation would have been virtually split
in twain, their route to the British Do
minion shut up, and hundreds-yea,
thousands of valuable lives been saved,
besides the millions spent in the Sioux
campaigns.
