Our Greenbackers ought to send del
egation over to Turkey to enlighten the
minds of the bakers Of Constantinople.
Those stupid, perhaps wicked, persons
find that it takes cart-load or two of
paper-money to buy a barrel of flour,
and so they demand other carloads for
their loaves of bread. AS the people
object to this, the bakers have cooled
their ovens and put up their shutters
OF course this is all wrong. The paper
money is based upon the faith and
wealth and resources of the nation; it
is interconvertlble with other paper; it
is absolute money; the Government
the wants of the people, and it is money
that stays at home. 1t is precisely the
kind of money for which the American
Greenbacker yearns, and shouts, and
fights, and yet these absurd CONSTANT.
nople bakers make fuss about taking
it. Let's have Ben. Butler appointed
as financial missionary to Turkey. II
would be a good thing, for several rea'
sons.-Phiz0delphi Bulletin.

THE LOVES OF AN ACTOR.
Doud Byron attempts to Elope .cith {
Cheyenne Won1an ambitious for Stag.
GEOru

D0n0 BYF0H attempts to EIOpe .cith II
Cheyenne Wonaan ambitious for Stage
Glory.
Cheyenne Sun.
For several days past Byron has been
'tmaking love- to "grass- widow" whose
husband is a soldier at Fort Russell. She
lives in the northeastern portion of the city
with her two children; she is good looking.
and somewhat ''stage-struck.' Byron, with
his usual adroitness and smooth tongue, sue
ceeded in securing a promise
from her to accompany him to San
Francisco. He said he would put her on the
stage, where she would be able to rapidly
rise IN the profession, and become ':star''
OF the first magnitude. Punched by poverty,
vain of her beauty and fond of fame the
poor woman eagerly grasped at the differing
bauble held out by the great tragedian, and
"nephew of his uncle" Yesterday was the
time set for their departure. Byron took
the woman, her two children and the trunks
containing her worldly effects to the depot,
and at once entered into negotiations
with the conductor of the emf
grant train. He wanted to s.soak''
the trunks for the passage of four
persons to Laramie City, where he expected
to "get some money from a friend-'' While
the conductor was listening to his offer the
porter of one of our prominent hotels
stepped in and said "the tragedian'' owed
board bill which muet be paid before he
would be allowed to depart in the direction
of the setting sun. The unfortunate and
misguided woman had her trunks carted
home, and the curtain dropped upon the
scene. Byron was playing it fine in order to
make his passage to Laramie City-that
was all.

In year the Northern Pacific railroad will
be in working order to a point 100 miles
west of Bismarck, on the Missouri river
This will give easy access to the Black Hills
region. A meeting of the directors of the
company was held yesterday afternoon at its
New York Office, No. "a Fifth avenue. Bids
for building 2O5 miles of the road, from the
Missouri to the Yellowstone, were all in on
Monday. On Tuesday they were opened,
and yesterday the directors took action on
them. There were forty-eight bids, about
one-half being for the first 100 miles west of
the Missouri. These ranged from about
$4, 900 to 5000 a mile, said by one of the
officers to be about third less than it has

without first making better survey. These
lO5 miles lie across the Sioux country, and,
owing to the prejudice of s'Sitting Bull'' to
Typographical science, the line was hastily
laid out. During the coming year an in
strumental survey will be made. This year
cross ties for the first 100 miles, will be cut
on the company's land; the iron will also be
worked and everything put in readiness TO
begin grading before the spring is far adj
