Billings Stirring up Cont raetors.-A
stage Line to Connect the Ter.
ninai Points this Fall.
Special TO the Pioreer Press.

Bismarck. ID. T.. June 4.-President Bill
lngs. with severn, CT the gentlemen who
literally subscribed to the recent loan O,
two million dollars to the Northern Pacific
inspected the extension west OF the Mis-.
sour to-day. 1t is reported that the presi-
dent found the work progressing too slow
ly and that he will take steps that will stir
up the contractors. All the contractors.
James Bellows, Jarvis Lord. Walker and
Clark, were with them. The contract was
taken at seventeen cents per yard for grad
ing, and is being sub-let at thirteen cents.
The latter figure is regarded as too low
and the subs cannot stand it. Other con-
tractors intimate that the original figure is
too little and that the company will have
to take the work and push It through them
selves If they want it done this autumn.
President Billings says it is his desire to
build the whole distance to the Yellow
stone this year. As to change of manage
nent there is nothing definite in sight, ex-
'ept that Billings means to do the best
hing he can for the interest of the road
Independent of personal friendships. It
hought in some quarters that Vice-Prcsi-
lent Stark will be the general manager. /,
certain that he IS coming out and will
'aye general oversight Of things. Per-
onaiiy, Stark does not incline to the pres
at manager. With the completion of the
lyision TO the Yellowstone, and the Pend
'Oreille division on the Pacific coast
resident Billings proposes to establish a
fage line between the terminal points, and
nus provide for through travel and a mail
'ute before the road is completed. The
arty left this evening for Winnipeg. Bill
gs expects to be In tie Northwest for a
onth. 1t leaked out through one OF the

AIDED his N. T. stock, some two millions /
ID halt, and that was the cause of the I
cent decline. The anxious buyers are all '

stTHE MAID OF NORTHUMBERLAND. =
This is the title ola dramatic poem by
Hon. Daniel Bedinger Lucas of West Va.
He has heretofore published one or two
books of poems. Among which is 1.-The
Land where we were dreaming "-conSld-
cred by critics as the most finished and
altogether one of the best war poems pro-
duced in the South. Mr.. Lucas is man
of varied accomplishments. He is by
common consent one of the ableSt law
yer's in his State, equally strong before
court anu jury. Law is his profession
and his labor. lie is perhaps the ablest
stump speaker along the Potomac, was
Elector at large for the State i'll the Ill
den campaign and is earnestly urged for
the next Congressional nomination III his
district. At odd times he delivers lectures
and addresses which are always marked
by rare culture. But when he withdraWs
from the Bar and the Rostrum and follows
his fancy, he is only at nome TO the
muses.. The result of these select inter-
views is the many PONIES, long and short,
reported by him for the press.
Mr.. Lucas is well known i'll Maryland.
1t was he who recited the appropriate lit
tie poem at the dedication OF Washington
Confederate cemetery.
We are not critic enough to fix his rank
among our poets. We know he is Il grace
full and pleasant writer, through whose
verses thought and brilliant imaginatiOnS
pace together, and that all his poems have
found many and appreciativc readers.
The "Maid of Northumberland" is 4
poem of the war. The scene is laid in
Virginia and all of its incidents arise out
of the Interstate blockade. There is
nothing sectional or offensive about it.
With n change of names and some few
phrases, it would apply appropriately to
either side Of the line. Especially is the
satire on military courts applicable TO
both. There is something of biting sar-
casm, wien of expressive humor, the
suggestion of an eXquisitely absurd finan-
cial theory about the Confederate Bonds,
which is pointedly suggestive of some fl
nancial theories of the present day, just
enough of love to make the "Maid"
heroine at places and apparently uncon-
scious color reflected from much reading
of Shakespeare, and much lofty and i'm
FASHIONED writing. Gen. Henry n. Wise
appears for a couple of pages in dialogue
strikingly characteristic ofthat strange,
strong man, but apart from the love and
pathos in the drama, it is n two-pronged
satire, one point directed against imitation
Oh Int CuIEciCy uiiu lhc otilcI dSullist Ill
military courts. We can only guess at
the authors intention, but we hope we
are only one ofmany readers who can tell
Mr.. Lucas they have read his little vol
ume with great pleasure.
The high compliment of the dedication
of this charming book is paid to our
friend Col. Hy. Kyd Douglas, as follows ::
"To Henry Kyd Douglas of Maryland,
this volume is affectionately inscribed as
token of the authors friendship and
J appreciation. "-Aagerstown Mail.

young ladies and gentlemen in your
neighborhood who desire good educa-

Send your own children, and if you
have none and can spare the money,
send some worthy young lady or gen
tleman that is anxious for an education
but has not the means. You will never
regret this act of kindness and it will
pay you handsome profit in the good
you will thus do to society.
The school does not ask you for char
ity, but that you will send it pupils, Ell
Their your own children, or those who
may not have the means, but are desir-
Gus and capable of receiving an educa-
ton.
Good resolutions and good wishes
will not supply the place of material
and tangible assistance.
There are worthy young men and
women in every community, that have
the capacity to learn, and who would
exert wide and widening influence for
good, if they were educated and the
sphere Of their influence enlarged there
by. Let persons who have the means
select these and send them 10 school.
They will then confer lasting benefit
upon society, and one that will never be
