A Mixin' Of Babies.

Some time ago there was dancing party
given in Il certain neighborhood in Texas,
and most of the ladies present had little ba-
bies, whose noisy perversity required too
mitch attention to permit their mothers to
enjoy the dance. A number Of gallant
young men volunteered to mind tire young
ones while the parents INDUCED in an old
Virginia breakdown. No sooner had the
women left the babies in charge of the
mischicvous devils than they stripped them.

time to go home, and the mothers hurrie

and started to their homes, some ten or

before daylight. But the day following
there was a tremendous row in the settle

THE UTAH NORTHERN.

We are reliably informed that on max
ing a preliminary survey over the Pleasant
Valley range. a short time ago, the Utah
Northern Railroad Company was consid-
erably surprised and disappointed at the
high altitude of that portion of country.
They found it to be within few feet of
1000 feet high, and, as it is known to be
subject to heavy SHOWS during at least five
or six months in the year, the company
have determined to look elsewhere for a
favorable passage over the divide. They
will next try the route ria Henry's Fork.
and will probably adopt that, as it is be-
lieved to be the most feasible one across
the range tor constructing and operating
a railroad. In all probability, if the road
shall be built. it will enter the settlements
Of Montana by way of the Madison valley.

The Hayden Survey.

The geological survey of the Territories,
under DR.. f. v. Hayden, has completed
its plans of work for the ensuing year, and
its members will soon be en- route for the
fields of work. The area to be surveyed
includes the Yellowstone National Park
and the country lying south and southeast
Of it, about the heads of the Green, Snake
and Wind rivers, being an extension north
ward OF the work of last year. The whole
region is one of the recent volcanic activ-
ity. That the eruptive forces are still at
work not far below the surfice is evidenced
by the great number of geysers and hot
| springs which are found everywhere.
Great areas of the surface are covered with
beds of basalt, looking as fresh as if it had
burst forth only yesterday. Within this
area. too, is the true apex of the CONT
nent. the point ut which head the extreme
branches OF our three greatest rivers-the
Missouri. the Columbia, and the Colorado.
From a peak in the northern emil of the
Wind river range waters are distributed to

make a finished, final survey of this inter-
esting region. The parties viii rendez-

thence proceed to their respective fields of
work. The area to be surveyed seologi-
cally and geographically has been appor-

The Propeller Tug. - An Important
Experiment.
Sioux City Tribune,

The little propeller tug Lille, now ut
our landing, may be the fOrerunner of
large number of craft Of that class. The
Lille, though easily brought hitier from
st. Paul on fat-car is powerful piece Of
locomotive floating machinery, capable. it
is believed, Of towing large and heavily
loaded barges against the current. She
draws three feet Of water. She will be
used in towing wood barges to some Of the
up-riyer military posts. We have no
doubt the experiment will prove a COM
plcte success, and lead to important results
in barge transportation. A tug Of the
same pattern, but drawing foot less wa
ter, might be used to tow fiat.b0ats loaded
with merchandise up the Yellowstone TO |
point withia thirty-five miles of Bozeu,an.
and up the INSECURITY making a short /
portage at the falls, twenty five miles
above BeHton-to within ten miles OF Hele-
ma, the Monfana metropolis. The bulk Of
Montana bound freights, which aggregate
