A RObber-PrOOf Safe.

The Omaha Bee, Of the 10th instant,
says: "Mr. Salisbury, Of Salt Lake, one
of the proprietors of the Cheyenne and
Black Hills stage line, passed through
the city on Tuesday. on his way West.
He had been to Cincinnati to make ar
rangements for the construction of a
burglar proof safe, to be used on the
Cheyenne and Black Hills treasure
coach. He says. that this safe is to be so
m ade that it will withstand the opera
tons of stage-robbers. for ffty-six hours
Of uninterrupted work. The builders
Of the safe,, which is to weigh one ton,
will guarantee at to do this, and further
more, will agree to make good any loss
if the safe is opened within fifty-six
hours. Mr.. Salisbury states tbatlif the
contemplated safe, which is to be COM
pleted within two weeks, comes up to
his expectations and the REPRESENTA-
tons of the builders, he will have six
more made for the transportation of
treasure. He says that although the
recent robbery Of $4,000 was heavy
blow, the company does not propose to
abandon the business, but will make
more strenuous efforts than ever before
to carry all treasure that may be offer
ed to them. The fifty-six-hour safe will
afford ample time.to give the alarm, in
case it is attacked by robbers, to send
out aforce sufficient to recapture it.

consequence Of her stockingless con-
dltlon has led to many hearty laugh,
as we'll as to many an unconventional
and, indeed, [ might as we'll admit, hor-
rlble performance. That is, this per-
Torrance will sound horrible to ears
which are walled in by frescoes and
draperles, but up here nothing that is
necessary is unrefined. This little
nightly eplsodeis the washing off Of the
mud from Dimple's little hosiery. As
she cannot SO stockingless to the pond
to rinse them herself, her father per
forms this duty for her with the aid Of
a volunteer assistant, who is a young
man who looks as. if. he might be very
romantic under advantageous circum-
stances. Whatever in the world the
rllnslng out Of that little scarlet merino
stocking did to him | do not even pre-
tend to know, but the next night he
begged to wash them both, but the pru-
dent papa refused, and handed them to

part OF the service comes in. The guide

young person to borrow these stockings
after papa's head is busted in issuing
tremendous shores from his couch Of
hemlock, and he washes them out in q
combination Of water and moonlight
and hangs them upon an arbor qatcs
bough to dry. Whatever the young
man discovers that is delightful in this
queer devotion only the locality and the
atmosphere can account for, and these
two mute things refuse to surrender
their secret. r.s". II. sas.. t..s Ant

The TellO WStOne as a Trout Stream.
~. Observation-Disclosures

20
At every halt along, the river everv-
body would fish Or paw around among
the beautiful pebbles over which the
river flowed for specimens In both
Instances the, reward for ones trouble
was sure totbe most satisfactory. The
trout whitefish and graphing took the
grasshopper bats that were thrown
them with the greatest avdity. This
may seem very strange with regard to
the whitefish, as their reputation on the
great lakes for taking the hook is not
the best, yet here they proved better
biters than the trout. General Sherman,
in his report on the National Park; says
he does not believe there is finer trout
stream in the world than the Upper
Yellowstone. AS far as our expert
ence goesi is certainly magnificent
stream for fishing. I doubt if any on
the continent will surpass it in the
number of its fish. although Lake
Superior and all its northern triDutar-
les and most Of the larger trout streams
Of New England and Canada contain
larger and more gamesome fish.

An Eagle in Chains,

A few days since Sylvester J. Camp
bell, a ten-year old lad, was out in his
fathers yard in West Gardiner, when he,
saw an eagle fv down in the rear of his
house in quest of his dinner. The bird
was evidently tired; for he carried on
one Of his talons trap with an iron
chain three feet long attached to it.
How long he had been carrying the
trap, of course, is a matter of mcclure.
But the lad seized the bird by the neck
and got him under, although at consid-
cradle risk, as he is a powerful eagle and
made desperate resistance. The boy
finally secured him, and his mother
brought the proud bird to Lewiston,
Wednesday, recounting the adventure
of her son with pardonable enthusiasm.

New Suspension Bridge at Niagara.
NIAGARA Falls Gazette

Mr.. Benjamin Rhodes, superinten-
dent of the new suspension bridge, is
preparing drawings for two new cable
suspension bridges to connect the Clark
Hill Islands with the main Canadian
shore. Each of the proposed bridges
will be $50 feet in length, and will be
supported by wire cables resting on iron
towers. The style of D the work will be
very similar, to- that followed in the
erection of the new suspension bridge.
With the completion of these bridges,
and the laying out of the desired roads
around the Clark Hill Islands. "a con-
tinuous roadway willbe secured along
the bank of the river, including Cedar
Island, with the Clark Hill Islands.
This scheme of connecting these islands
with the mainshore by means Of two
new bridges, in addition to the present
suspension foot-bridge, is the project of

THE FAITHFUL WIFE.

| do not call that mortal poor
To whom a faithful wife is given:
For, If his mind is right and pure,
She'll make his home on Earth Heaven.
For Love. when pure and holy, blooms
SO richly in the heart of Man.
It's sweetness gladdenS and perfumes
More than aught else meath Heaven can.
And everything seems brighter there
Because his life is rendered sweet;
He moves among his felow-men
With lifted head and fearless feet.
With glowing eyes and earnest hands
He battles on the field of life:
For by his side she brayely stands.
TO cheer him in his honest strife.
He knows that should that monarch come
Who lays both King and peasant low,
That O er his corpse there will be one
Who'll weep with unaffected wo.
Yea. blessed is that man who wins
Some pure and faithful woman heart;
rTis only then that he begins
To take in life 4 nObler part.
Then 90 not call that mortal poor
10 whom a faithful wife is given;
For, if his mind is right and pure,
She'll make his home on Earth Heaven

Alright fresh sprinkling of balsam
boughs freshen our touches, our blank

a big fire sparkles and crackles at our
feet as we retire without crimping our
front locks, and we lie down as, we were
mummies, five in a row, but we are
within screaming distance Of eight gen
tlemen, who are.similarly1 arranged with
another blazing fire before, their camp.
One guide spends the night In keeping
the blaze brilliant. We go to bed with
out the usual but quite absurd custom,
III the world below us, of undressing
ourselves, consequently our labors OF
the toilet are quite simple IN the morn
ing. We rise shake back our hair, and
upon grand occasions we add a fresh
collar and bit of ribbon. We wash
our faces and hands in the clear springs
of very. cold water, and then we sit
down upon the stones to eata luxurious
breakfast from q tin plate and pine
board. We have trout, broiled wood
cock, roasted potatoes, coffee and pam
cakes and maple sugar. Then We
loaf and loaf, and fsh" and fish, and
again we sleep and sleep, and then dln-
ner is ready. One little lassie, vino c-ied
at parting with her trunks, was not
aware how much she was weeping for
until she discovered that all the stock
lngs that she had fetched along with
her were upon her, feet, and that owing
to an excessive amount a. of rain
in this region her boots must be
filled with muddy water at least once a
day, provided she refused to be perchsd

The Fa1yuNa tells an interesting story
of an impresario who recently set sail
from Italy for New Orleans with an
opera troupe. On the voyage three
men discovered that they had been en-
gagged as tenors-only and absolute
tenors. A tremendous row was the re-
suit, at the conclusion of which they
went to hunt for the manager and up
braid him for his treachery. He re
piled: my children, know that peo-
pie wholly unworthy of regard have
lowered the profession of impresario in
the public eyes. I, however, am an
honest man, and you can depend upon
my loyal performance Of my obligations.
In each Of your contracts it is provided
that there shall be but one leading
TENOR There are three of,you. How
ever,.g no sooner shall we arrive at New
Orleans than one Of yon will in all
probability die Of yellow fever; the
death of another may be confidently ex-
pected during the period of rehearsal,
and SO when we really begin business
there will be but one of you left. He
will be the sole and leading tenor Of the
company"

ANYTHING FOR EsCAPE.-The lessons
just now taught in our Sunday-school7
''cut to the quick" wherever there is in
the pupil a tender conscience and q
sense of sin. A bright little fellow ina
New York school, who felt the applica-
ton Of their truths to be too close for
his personal comfort, burst out with
the exclamation, Il wish [ had died
when I was a baby and got rid Of all
this After his teacher had kindly
shown him how much he would have
missed by pointing out the folly of his
wish, the boy, in no measure relieved
from the uncomfortable sense ofrespon-
sibility resting upon him, tried to ,wrig-
gle out of it in this fashion: "Well, /
wish | was an Indian, anyway, for. they
don't have to know about these things"

The yield of the. California vineyards
for 1875 was about 100000 gallons.
That state has vinicultural land enough
to make as much wine as France, Ger
many, Hungary and Spain combined
could produce; and there is no doubt,
among those who have given the sub
ject the closest study, that California
will in some future time out-rank every
other wine-growing region in the world
The foot hills of that state, which are
held at one-tenth the price of land in
France, have a'vast productive capacity
and seldom fail to produce a good
