was prepared and presented to con-
gress by George W. Jones. Among
It's most bitter opponents was John
G. Calhoun, then in the zenith of
his power, and the master mind of
congress. 1t soon became apparent
to Mr.. Jones that Mr.. Calhoun
would crush his bill, and he there
fore resorted to strategy. Mr.. Jones
was then in his prime and man of
attractive presence, added to which
were graces Of manner, which gave
hum great prominence in society.
lie was a great favorite with the
ladies. There was at Washington
a lady who was special friend of
Mr.. Calheun-in fact, she had him
son string" as it were. Jones
decided to pull the string. He at
once played the agreeable to the
lady, and soon, by his gallantry,
won from her the expression one
day that she hoped something
might happen that she could recip-
rocate the fayOrs. That was Jones's
opportunity. He informed her
that she could and how. He ex-
planned to her his territorial bill,
and how anxious he was to succeed
with it, but how he feared the op-
position Of Mr.. Calhoun, who would
kill it if he had the opportunity.
The woman entered into the matter
with zest, and told Mr.. Jones to
send her his card when the bill
came up, and she would take care
of Mr.. Calhoun. When the bill
was taken up Mr.. Jones sent his
card to the lady in the gallery.
Soon after Mr.. Calhoun was seen
going out Of the hall, and did not
return for several hours. In the
meanwhile Mr.. Jones had secured
the passage of his bill. Mr.. Cal
houn never knew why his fair friend
was so especially anxious to secure
his undivided attention on that
day. Thus was Iowa born Of a
woman.

Some of the old Spanish tales are
cleverly told. A certain knave once
saw parson putting up money in
his pouch, and followed afar off.
The parson stopped to talk with a
friend near the shop Of an embroi-
derer who had chasuble hanging
up before the door. Into this shop
entered the knave and bartered for
the raiment, but wished before pay.
ing to see how it would look on a
priest. Just then, in the nick of
time, the parson, having parted
with his friend, came by.
Reverend sir" quoth the rogue,
"be good enough to enter and try
on this garment"
The parSon, with his purse hang
ing to his girdle, entered, and, with
much charity, put on the chasuble
Taking advantage Of a favorable
moment the knave seized the purse
and ran down the street, followed
closely by the priest. After him
ran the embroiderer, well assured
that all was but an artifice to rob
him Of the raiment. The fat eccle-
siastic was soon caught by the en-
broiderer, but while the merchant
was examining him as to his COM
plicity the thief escaped. This
story, which was popular in its
time, is told by various authors,and
is termed by one of them a diaboli-
cal device.
Another story has for its hero IA
rich old man who was Jealous of
his young and pretty wife. Falling
sick in due time, aud feeling him
self about 10 die, he summoned his
wife to his bedside and besought
her, as a last favor, with tears in
his poor old eyes, not to marry the
object of his jealousy, a neighbor,
when he was gone.

Her Parthenia was outwardly the
most delightful of conceptions, but
in that impassioned love which
makes the character the most it is,
she was well nigh powerless. In
the basket scene, for instance, the
Interpretation was absolutely ludi-
crous, but there, if anywhere, love
should have triumphed, not through
the art and smiles of the coquette,

FUrther Evidence that the BLACK
Hills We're Worked Long Ago.


Sioux City journal
Mr.. Witcher has been talking
with old man LaPlant of Sioux
Point recently, who confirms the
story published by us as related by
Mr.. Witcher, that the Black Hills
mines are indeed an old thing
that they were known many years
ago, and were worked nearly CEN
tury ago. LaPlant visited the
Hills twenty-five years ago, and
can lead the way to a cave where
the date Of his visit and his COM
panions are inscribed. Mr.. Witeher
IS trying to get the old man to re-
turn with him, but he says the
rheumatism is too tough on him.
Wltcher is Of the opinion that the
Black Hills mines were worked
through Chouteau, the old fur
trader who was at the head of the
st. Louis fur company in the earli
est times. LaPlant says he knows
OF a party of men who went into the
Hills in 1852 and never came out.
The skeletons found behind the
rude breastworks, as heretofore de-
scribed, were probably the remains
OF these men. Chouteau carried
on his work in the mines through
Indians, and kept his secret we'll.

taken from Sawpit gulch, twenty

The cold nature of New England
critics is not so seriously affected by
the personal charms Of Mary An

the Hartford Post is a sample of the
Connecticut press notices of her

"The play itself with appropri-
ate settings is capable of producing
an intense dramatic pleasure, but
its Interpretation last night was in
point of interest so far below the

son would perfectly have realized
the ideal goddess Of Homer, but as
it was, in the light and splendor of
her movements, the highest con-
ceptions of grace and womanliness

her acting she gives promise of
marvellous achievements, but has
not yet attained them. Rich in the
possession of means, she is lacking
ia dramatic feeling. 1t is doubtful
If there is a woman on the Ameri-
can stage who possesses larger gifts
than Miss Anderson, but there are
several who comprehend human
sympathies and impulses more
deeply and truthfully than she does,

A Boys Pockets and a GiTrs Pocket
NOrristOwn HOrald.l
Tommy is twelve years old. His
sister Mary is sweet sixteen and
half. The other morning Mary ac.
costed her mother with, "Ma, see
what lot of stuff | found in Tom
my's pocket" and she deposited on
the table the following articles, to-
wit: Eight marbles, one top, a
broken bladed knife, a leather

pockets were deposited before the

a Diver and a Devil F,.h.

"arrnamDOoi lAusuallal Standard.
The diver engaged at the Moyne
river, Belfast, in removing the reef,
had a narrow escape from losing
his life on Thursday. 1t appears
that Mr.. Smale had fired off a
charge Of dynamite and displaced
large quantity of stones at the
bottom Of the river. He went
down to prepare for lifting these
stones by the aid of chains into the
punt. While engaged in rolling
over u large stone he saw something
which he supposed at the time was
a piece of clean-looklng kelp mov-
ing about in front of where he was
working. In a few seconds the
object came in contact with the
divers arm about which it quickly
coiled, partly holding him. Imme-
diately Mr.. Smale touched what was
coiled round his arm be became
aware Of his position, and tried to
extricate himself from the grasp of
a "sea-devil," but found it a far
more difficult job than he antici-
pated. Catching hold of the part
hanging from the arm, he walked
along the bottom of the river to-
ward the end Of it, when he saw he
was firmly held by one of the feel
erS Of a large octopus, better known
among sailors as the "devil- :"
Mr., Smale tried to pull the fish off
from his hold on the rocks, but
without effect for some time. At
last the fish, perhaps thinking it
had not got sufficient hold or power
upon its pray, loosened itself from
the stones and quickly transferred
Its feelers around the divers legs
and body. 1t this position Smale
thought the best thing for him to
do was to get up on deck as soon as
possible, and he quickly made
tracks for the ladder which reaches
from the deck Of the punt to the
bottom of the river. The diver
was certainly a curious looking OBJ
ieat when he came up: This huge,
ugly looking thing appeared to be
entangied all over him, holding him
in firm embrace. However, Mr..
Smale's fellow-workmen we're not
long in freeing him from the un-
friendly hug of his submarine COM
panion. The body portion of the
octopus was only about the size of
a large soup-plate, with eyes in its
head like those of a sheep, but it
possessed nine arms, each about
four feet in length, at the butt as
thick az q mans wrist, tapering off
at the end to as fine point as that
of a pen-knife; thus it could spread
over an area Of nine feet in diane
ter. All the way along the under
meath part of each feeler are suck
ers every quarter of an inch, giving
it immense power. Mr.. Smale de.
clares it was powerful enough to
keep three men under water.

The following extract is from an
old English paper. The Captain
lngleield referred to is now Vice
Admiral Inglefeld, commanding on
this station:
AN ARCTIC V0YAGER. - A
charming young lady was kind
enough to give us the particulars of
her pet dove, who is a great Arctic
voyager. This tender bird has been
twice to the north pole, and spent
the summers Of 1S53-54 there on
board Captain Inglefeld's ship, the
Phoenix. She then remained with
Captain Inglefeld in the Sidon, in
the Black sea. Not only is this
dove a great traveller, but is fight
ing dove as well, for she was pres
ent at the bembardment of Sebas-
topol, and her cage was knocked to
pieces by a shot. Her only other
adventure was making herself ill
by eating some' strange berries, but
she recovered after the administra
ton Of an emetic. This bird has
picked up wisdom in her travels.
and now considers herself a veteran
bird, entitled to take liberties.
When a stranger comes into the
room she flies, as often as she can
out Of her cage, on to his head, or
on to the nearest corner of the ta-
BILE or floor; then she stands at his
feet and commences the funniest
succession Of jerks and bows, COO
ing loudly and hoarsely all the
time. A few weeks after she came
home from the north pole, an Off
Ger Of thc ship happening to call
upon her mistress, she manifested
the utmost impatience to get out
of the cage, even when she only
heard his voice, but the moment
she saw him she flew direct into
the breast OF his coat, where she had
been accustomed to nestle in the
homeward voyage. She was scarce
ly ever in her cage on board ship,
as she was too tame to fly away.
Captain Inglefeld took a large
quantity Of wheat and canary-seed
and gravel with him on each voy-
age as the doves provision"
