Sarah hung down her head for mo-
ment as If to fix her shawl; but she
made no objection to the proposal, and
on the next momeut Watson had drawn
her arm within his own.
"Come, captain" he said, "you must
lead the way
Watson Gilbert must have said some
strange things to Sarah, during the
walk, for when they reached the cap
tain's quarters she was all bushes, and
most strange light was dancing in her
eyes.
On the next morning Sarah revealed
to her brother the real character of Mrs.
Gilbert and her daughter The young
man was astonished. He shuddered to
think of the lasting evil he had escaped,
and he blessed his sister for the service
she had done.
"But," said he, "why did you not
tell this to me before ?'
Il meant to have told you before you
made second formal visit"
"But you should have told me direct
ly after my first one."
Sarah's eyes fell, and she blushed.
"Aha-a-a / see it now. You had
not trapped yourself, eh ? Mr.. Watson
Gilbert"
"If you love me. Oliver"
30, I do love you, and think l am
not the only one, eh I? What did Wat
son Gilbert say to you last night
He asked me to become his wife ?"
"zounds You are frank. And what
did you tell him ?"
"That would speak with you"
What dear, good sister you are So
by your management 1 lose wife, and
you gain husband"
{" But Miss Gilbert may yet"
go, the Lord deliver me-"
Then have another for you"
"Eh ?''
"Don't you remember Caroline At
kins 2''
"Sweet Kate. Alas she has moved
away off,"
Not over a mile
What? Why, Mrs. Gilbert told me
she had gone off South ?''
"That was a falsehood. She is now
in the suburbs of this CITY,"
"Then I'll see her today. You shall
go with me-"
Most certainly WILL
They went, and the result was that
both Caroline and Oliver were made
very happy.
In fortnight afterwards there was
double wedding in magnificent man
sion, in the great city. Oliver Lincoln
held sweet Caroline Atkins by the hand,
and Watson Gilbert led Sarah Pabor
Lincoln to their side. 1t was glorious
time. Mrs. Gilbert and her daughter
were both invited, but they did not
come,
Lovina soon recovered from the shock
she had received and went at once about
setting her trap again but though it
has been set for years, yet no one has
been so unfortunate as to get caught in
it. Poor Lovina she is getting old
without husband, and she begins to see
that if she had long ago learned to trap
her own follies she would have been
happier than she now is.

A Little too Modest.

A lady on the North side wishing to
test the merits of Dr. Bulls Cough
Syrup thought it would never do to ask
the druggist in the name of "Bull. D.
Why, dear me, she couldn't say Bull to
save her life, and called at last on a
neighboring woman for suggestions on
matter. DIR. Cows, DIR. Calls, DR.. Buff
falo's and DIR. Oxen's Syrup were all
mentioned The latter suited
"Yes, that will do--Dr. Oxen the very
thing, the druggist will understand
that"
A walk of two squares found her at
the counter of DIR. H--'s store, when
the following dialogue occurred:
1 wish bottle of DIR. Oxen's Cough
Syrup"
CDR. Oxen, Oxen, why, mann, L don It
believe keep that. You mean Cox's
Hive Syrup, don't you ?'
"Oh, no, mean, mean DIR. Oxen y
and then she seemed wrapped in solemn
thought for moment, when bright
idea seemed to beam forth. Hasn't

EyT The immense stones used in the
construction of the pyramids of Egypt
were obtained from the quarries in the
Arabian hills, and were carried to the
river over bridge of boats. They were
then brought by means of a causeway,
which of itself took ten years to con-
struct, and which is said to have been
fine work, with its polished stone and
figures of animals engraved upon them.
One hundred thousand men were en-
ployed at one time, and these were re-
lieved by the same number at the end of
three months. A long time was spent
in the leveling of the rock on which the
edifice now stands, and twenty years for
the erection of the edifice itself. The
stones were raised step by step,by means
of a machine made of short pieces of
wood; and last of all, commencing from
the top, the stones were cemented to-
gether by layers of cement not thicker
than strip of paper, the strength of
which is proved by the age of these
enormous memorials. And to crown all
the pyramid was encased in marble, pre-
senting one of the most beautiful sights
the world has ever beheld.

TSrs' An amusing occurr ence took place
in our presence on Monday" says a
n ews editor. " We went into barber's
shop not far from Hanover square where
we found William, "a journeyman, comb
ing gentleman's IS hair, who was asleep.
During the operation we were shaved
and washed; but observing on going
out, that William was still at work, we
conjectured he had been hired to operate
by the hour. Imagine our surprise,
however, when we were informed that
both William and the customer had been
asleep for more than half an hour-the
one at ease in his seat, and the other en-
joying a perpendicular nap"

of the ministerial standing of ministers when
such are presented. The report was adopt.
ed, and the committee was continued to rive
further consideration to the result.
In the discussion which followed. DR..
William M. Taylor, Of the Broadway
tabernacle, denounced the practice Of per
hitting men to enter the pulpit whose only
qualification was their el~oquence. Even
immoral men had been allowed to retain
their positions for that one reason. He
said that there was a minister Of the Baptist
church in London some years ago who was
convicted ofadultery and expelled from the
society. He went to Toronto, resumed his
relations with the denomination, and, on a
pulpit becoming vacant, notwithstanding
the fact that his previous misdeeds were
fully spread before the people, he took
hold Of their hearts, and they invited him
to become pastor, and to this day he breaches
in that church. There was a similar case
in the same denomination recently at Allie
ghany City. What the association had to
protest against was the r~ottenness of the
sentiment that men might hold a minister
ial position, NO matter what their past life
had been or their present life was.

DAKOTA MATTERS.

The Washington correspondent of the St.
Paul dispatch, under date of Jan. 3Oth.,
gives the following gossip about Dakota
matters:
Mr.. Bo,kins, a correspondent from Mil
yankee, has a good hope Of being governor
of Dakota. II seems pretty certain that Bot
kins will get either the above position or the
consulate at Manchester.
e. II. Hooper of Maine was appointed
Indian agent Of Sisselon agency in Dakota
at the special session, and was recently con-
trmed, but Mr.. Kidder has tied up his com.
mission, and he may yet find that there is Il
slip between the cup and the lip.
Postmaster Howard Of 1snkton has safely
got off the ragged edge.
j. F. West has been duly confirmed post
master at St. Cloud.
The governorship Of D.kota is not an un
enviable position, Judging from the number
Of applicants therefor. l will furnish the
list up to date: General Rusk late NJ. C.
from the La Crosse district; Mr.. Warner, a
Mississippi republican, whose good show is
getting dark; Mr.. Wolf, the German regis.

Morish, his river superintendent, is here,
looking after his varied interests. Judge
Styel, Mayor Mclean and Sheriff Kiasey.
from Bismarck, are here, as also is my old
friend j. w. Raymond, Esq. Six years ago
Raymond was a poor clerk in Duluth, row
he is one of Bismarck's most solid men.
The genuine metal was in him, and on
striking out on the Northern Pacific he found
a fulcrum to rest his lever on, and he has
made things move to the benefit of his own
place of residence and of his own pocket.
Having deserved success, he has won it.
Major Leip, late post sutler at Fort Abra-
ham Lincoln, was buried here on Sunday,
with Masonic honors.
Mr.. Kidder has introduced a bill for q
land grant to a railroad from Bismarck to
the Black Hills. Also one to make all off
GERS of territories elective, except marshals,
land officers, and district attorneys. Also
one to allow Dakota to organize as a state.
He had a lively and = successful fight over
getting $4,000 appropriated for a law library
for Dakota. His speech convinced the
house of the necessity and justice Of the
measure and not only carried his Own meas
ure through but also did the same service
for Wyoming.

SELECTING COL0Rs.

"No department Of the toilet" says La
Banta, demands such nicely of discrimina-
ton as the selection and combination of col
ors. Without this the art of dressing de-
sends to the merest matter of covering the
person. There is nothing, except it be plain
black or white, about the costume but bears
a discordant or harmonious relation to
the complexion and personal tints.
The whole art of combining colors in
dress is copying the natural flowers and the
combinations of natures beauties. Agra
waiting discords or pleasing harmonies may
be produced by the juxtaposition of hues.
In their effect upon the complexion, they
either enchance its beauty or detract from
it. With colors properly selected, a COM
paratively poor skin may be made to appear
attractive; worn without regard to effect,
the best complexion will show to poor adj
vantage" "The general rule" continues
La Banta, "for the harmonious assortment of
colors in apparel is to ascertain with which
of the three primary colors yellow, red and
blue) the complexion has affinity, With
one of those or their many tints) every
woman's complexion harmonizes. The
shades which seem most favorable to beauty
are weak white, light green, roft blue, mild
violet, and pink red"

INDIAN PLUMBER.
Rapid City journal. I'd.

On Wednesday Of this week, "Captaln
Jack :" and Mr.. Thos. Ferguson and son re-
turned from the mouth of Rapid river,
thirty-fve miles distant from this city, bav-
ing in their possession the three Indian
ponies that escared from the hostiles on
the goth Of this month, when they attacked
q freight train five miles from Rapid City,
and shot George II. Firman, and killed two
of his mules. Mr.. Firman, although vet in
the charge of his physician, DR.. Whitfield,
of this city, will probably recover, but his
mules, never. The parties first mentioned
in this article are hunters we'll known in
the Hills. On discovering the ponies, they
judiciously went to cover, and in one way
and another kept themselves out of observa.
ton, but always on the alert. They had
crossed several trails before discovering the
animals, and were reasonably cautious.
Finally deciding that it was the wisest
course, they cOrralled the ponies and sue
ceedeu in driving them into town as stated.
The animals we're all saddled and bridled,
and to the three were strapped eleven gov
ernment blankets. six of which must have
of use, but are clean. and in nearly as fine
share as when issued to the pets at the
agencies. To one of the saddles was a long
pipe-stem evidently a peace pipe. at least
it was q piece of a pipe-and to all of the
saddles were pouches of tobacco. Now We
have a valid rcason-if not before-why
Gen. Sheridan should send troops into the
Black Hills, where today there isn't a
trooper in the whole domain. They should
by all means come and gather in these ami
mails, for aren't there three endorsed pets
abroad in the land without ponies, brides,
saddles: pipe stems, t,bacco or recently is
sued blankets? To be certain.

TENNESSEE REPUTATION.

The following clever burleeque is in cir.
c~ulation in Nashville, and was doubtless
called out by the fact that the legislature
recently adjourned sine die, without ma
king any provision for paying the state
debt:
"For Sale-Under foreclosure Of mort.
gage-The elegant stone structure known
as the capitol of Tennessee, situated on an
eminence in the city of Nashville, over

BILE for long distances; this building was
erected when people were honest, and is

two fine halls which might be hired to indi.
viduals wishing to make oratorical displays,
each hall possessing splendid facilities. The
state of Tennessee having defaulted on the
interest Of the bonds sold to pay for this
building, the bondholders have taken pos
session under proceedings usual in such
cases, in order to satisfy their claims. Pos.
session given Immediately after the ad.
%journment of the Legislature, when the sale
will take place. Would make a splendid
school in which the rising generation could

ORDINANCE DEPOT At FORT LINCOLN.

Everything points towards a vigorous
campaign against the hostile Indians mex,
summer. The savages are evidently pre-
pairing TO resist being removed in the spring,
and their numbers are such that they will
be no dcspicable foe. Recruits for the regi.
ments in the northwest are being taken out,
n squad of los men having been sent to
Fort Smelling to reinforce the Fifth infantry,
a few days ago. 1t has also been decided to
establish an ordinance depot at Fort Lin
coin. Heretofore the nearest base of sup
plies in this line has been Rock Island. In
pursuance of this plan the following order
was issued yesterday:

man acted as moderator, and the Rev. H.
II. MacFarland was secretary. The chief
interest of the session centred in the report
ola committee of which the Rev. Ives Bud
ington was chairman, on "What Constitutes
a Minister" The committee find that the
question as to what are the proper creden-
tials of a minister involved in great difficult
ties, and, although important theoretically
and practically, the committee did not feel
able to make a satisfactory report.
The report continues that the difficulties
have been aggravated and new ones create
by the result Of the council called by Ply
mouth church in 1875. The principles set
tied on there are inconsistent with those
of the council Of 1864, and are destitute of
force in presenting the rights and duties Of
ministers, or the relation of churches in
fellowship with another. The recommends
lion OF the committee was that a committee
