NY SNIP

When my ship comes over the ocean,
What wonderful things you will see.
Twill be frelghted With every treasure,
And all will be coming to ME.
The gales have beer blowing so fiercely,
The dark waters daShing SO high,
Awaiting the soft ZephyrS sigh.
Sometimes in the cleaning I've waited,
With my eyes looking over the sea,
And wondered if out OF the darkness,
A message was coming to me.
But now with the tempest well over,
And the summers skies all in a glow
The Pilot has hoisted his signal,
M my treasures are coming l know.
With hope is my proud vessel freighted,
And velvets and jewels and laces,
And volumes OF wonderful lore.
There's a home over there on the hillside,
III. purchase with some of nv gold,
And III deck with vines II sweet flowers
Who beauties shall never grow old.
III store it with earth's choicest treasures,
III gather. my friends to my Mde,
And out OF my n%umberless blessings,
I'll give to the poor far and wide.
No more then I'll sit in the twilight,
And look far away DER the lea.
And sigh for the CLEAN of the white sails,
Otm ship coming overthe sea.

The Bismarck Tribune comes to the front
and advocates the division Of Dakota into
three territorial governmsnts. giving the
Black Hills an organisation and dividing
the balance Of the territory on IN east and
west line on or about the sixth standard
parallel. The Tribune says:
Northern Dakota would cover $4,000
square miles and would extend from the 10th
parallel to the British line, and from the
Red river four hundred miles west. 1t would
have over four hundred miles of completed
railway-the North Pacifc-running its
entire length, and over eight hundred miles
of navigable waters. 1t would contain the
best wheat region in the United States, and
. country with less waste land than any 9TH
er state in the union. In portions it would
be we'll timbered, with e1haustlees beds Of
coal, and q liberal quantity of minerals. It
already has q population Of fifty thousand
people, and by the time congress could make
provision for a state government it would
have enough to entitle it to q member Of
congress. Without in the least disparaging
northern Dakota, southern Dakota would
present equal advantages. Several lines Of
railway reach its several parts. Districts Of
it are already thickly settled and all of it is
first class farming land. It has a population
of se~venty-ive thousand and its population
is increasing at the rate of q thousand q
week. The Black Hills is isolated from both
northern and southern Dakota. They have
a population of not less than $4,000. The
people have nc commercial relations with
either of the two other sections of Dakota.
They are no more like Dakota people pro-
per than Maine people are like Californians
than Ohio people are like South Carolini.
ans. Each section desires to be separated
from the other and every interest Of govern
ment would be best served if they were sep
arated.

others, we're shown: In the great election of

most exciting election known in our history,
the presidential vote equalled 14.9 per cent.
of the state population and 1877 per cent. of
the electors failed to vote. In 1872 it
equalled 1919 per cent, and 22.3 per cent Of
the electors did not vote. In 1876 the vote

Awful Predictions

In a pamphlet recently pub
lished Prof. Grimmer asserts
that from 1880 to 1887 will be
one universal carnival of death.
Asia will be depopulated, Eu-
rope nearly so, and America will
lose nearly fifteen millions peO-
pie. Besides plaques we are to
have storms and tidal waves;
mountains are to toss their heads
about through the choicest val
leys; navigators will be lost by
the thousands, owing to the 'ca-
PRECIOUS defexures of the nee
die, and islands will appear and
disappear in mid-ocean. All
the beasts, birds and fishes will
be diseased. Famine and hu-
man strife will destroy most of
the few human beings left alive
by the plague, and finally two
years of fire-from 1886 to 1887
will rage with fury i'm eve.y
part of the globe. In 1887 the
star of Bethlehem will reappear
in Cassiapia's chair the imme-
diate results being universal war
and portentious floods and ship
wrecks.
North America is again to be
involved in civil war, unless a
Napoleon arises to quell it.
The few people that may man
age to survive till 1887 win have
reason to be thankful"

Bad luck made George Wa

he that, when somebody asked

go into the barroom and drink,
and all the rest responded with
aIacrity, he stayed outside alone.

Traiuing Shepherd Dogs.

The following extract gives
Mr.. Darwin's description of the
method of training shepherd
dogs:
"When riding it is a common
thing to meet a large flock of
sheep guarded by one or two
dogs, at the distance of some
miles from any house or man. l
often wondered how so firm a
friendship had been established.
The method of education consists
in separating the puppy while
very young from its mother, and
accustoming it to its future com
panions. A eve is held three or
four times a day for the little
thing to suck, and a nest of wool
is made for it in the sheep-pen.
At no time is it allowed to asso-
ciate with other dogs, or with
the children of the family. From
this education it has no wish to
to leave the flock; and just as
another dog will defend it's mas
ter, man, so will these dogs de-
fend the sheep. 1t is amusing
to observe, when approaching a
flock, how the dog Immediately
advances barking, and the sheep
all close in his rear, as if round
the oldest ram. These dogs are
also easily taught to bring home
the flock at certain houFin the
evening. Their most trouble
some fault when yonng is their
desire to play with the sheep, for
in their sport they sometimes
gallop the poor things most un-
mercifully.
The shepherd dog comes to
the house every day fer some
meat, and as soon as 1t is given
him he skulksaway, as if asham-
ed of himself. On these occa-
sions the hoise-dogs are very
tyrannical, and the lest of them
will attack and pursue the straE-
ger. The minute, however, the
latter has reached the flock, Ee
turns round and begins to bark,
and then ali the liouse-dogs take
quickly to their heels. In a
similar manner, a whole pack of
wild dogs will scarcely ever vent
ure to attack a flock guarded BY
even one Of these faithful shep-
herds. In this case the shepherd
dog seems to regard the sheep as
! its fellow brethren, and thus gains
| confidence; and the wild dogs,
though knowing tie sheep are
not dogs, but are good to eat, yet
when seeing them in flockwitll
a shepherd dog at their head. part
ly consent to regard them as he

The Dead Man Claim.

1t was i'm the winter, and the
region around Leadyille was
covered with snow, Scotty had
died, and the boys, wanting TO
give him a right smart of buri-
al, hired u nlan for $40 to dig
a grave through ten feet Of snow
and six feet of hard ground
Meanwhile Sco;ty was stuffed
into q snow bank. Nothing was
heard of the grave digger for
three days, and The boys, going
out to see what had happened
to him, found him in a hole
which, begun as a grave, proved
to DC a sixty ounce mine. The
quasi sexton refused to yield
and was not hard pushed, for
Scotty was iorgottOn and stay
cal in'the snow until the April
sun searched him out, the boys
meanwhile digging prospect
holes in his intended cemetery.
One mine. had It's shalt down
one hundred and iliirty-five feet,
and the indications uf success
were good. Some capitalists
proposed to purchase an inter
est in it, and u half Of the mine
was offered them for ten thou

o'clock. At half past four rich
silver ore was struck, and when
at half past FIVE the tardy men
of money came leisnrely up and
slgnificd their COILS mt to the
bargain, the manager, pointed
at the clock, and quietly remark
