in driving the hostiles north of the line
and capturing all half-breed trains trading
unlawfully in Montana, has returned to
this point, SO that the movement is yirtu-
ally at an end. So fearful are the Wash
ington authorities OF treading on the corns
of Lord Lorne, that Gen. Miles has been
ordered to remain south of Milk river, and
not to assume an agg- essive attitude. 1t
is some satisfaction that the Britis;: line
was reached before the order reached here.

New York, August BIN an editorial
scanning the business prospects through
out the country, the Herald says: "Rail-
road people tell us that the present year
will see more miles of new road built
than any previous year in history except
one or two. and to great extent the new
roads are connections and feeders Of the
West and established trunk lines in the
West, whose completion will open large
tracts of new fertile land TO profitable SET
Element. Within year or fourteen
months it is probable the Northern Pacific
will be operating, having contracted for
the building of two hundred miles on the
west end.''

Whatever may be said or thought in dis
arrangement or praise OF Senator COnklin, it
is pretty evident that ex Governor Spragrc,
in his recent difficulty with the Senator. as
well AS by his previous and subsequent acts,
has shown almost unmistakable signs Of
fermentation, superindGced probably, by
excessive drinking and dissipation. His
conduct appears to be inexplicable on any
other hypothesis, certainly no developc-
Inents thus far would seem to justify any
severe or nnkind reflections on ex-Govcr-
nor Sprague's family.

which she received from the peo-

route. Leaving Baltimore on the
nineteenth OF May, she made the
journey by Washington, Lynch
burg, Danvllle, Salisbury, Greens
boro, Charlotte Atlanta, Mont
gomery. Mobile and thence to
New Orleans. After leaving Vir
ginia she walked the entire dis
tance by rail. arranging the
length Of each days walk so that
she would be able when night
came on to find a resting place.
Some days she walked eighteen
miles, other days 80, and often
as high as forty miles. In cros-
sing the bridge over the Kenesaw
river, with IA strong wind and
heavy rain beating down upon
her, she narrowly escaped being
run over by train which she did
not observe until it was within a
few feet of her. She arrived in
New Orleans on the twelfth OF .}u-
ly, and remained there four days,
but the people would not allow
her to give any exhibition of
walking, as they said she would
be tired enough with her home
ward journey. The return trip

there she branclied off to Rich

is 1900 miles. In going she lost
fourteen days and i'll returning
twelve days in resting. She will
rest a day or two in Baltimore
being anxious to visit the walk
