 But the little lady. had her intentions. She -didn't propose to rest on downy; couches' in GeoGgia while her. new-folaand husband ls was blawing thorn away out, in the wilds of Montana. Not any. So. as soon as the regiment departed She procured pass to Cincinnati. There she,saceeaded in setting one to Chicago, At Chicago she presented herself to General R. Ingalls,, Quartermaster- Geu- eral, and stated her case to, him, and at once aroused his sympathies. He gave her a letter to railroad officials, by which she got pass to St. Paul. There she, interviewed the officials of the Northern Pacific and captured q pass to Bismarck. At Bismarck she paid her respects to managers of ths4 Goulson line and se- cured passage to Coal Banks, and from thence by wagon to Fort Assiniboine, and, without warming v or notif cation, dropped down upon her boy husband at the fort. Wasn't it nice meeting 1? Well, now, you can we'll imagine that it was ."better, than strawberries aaa ice cream. And wasn't she jewel of wife flor pluck, endurance, determination and love. She is described as being q very pretty lady of medium size, with dark hair and eyes, good talker, but withal a modest, well, behaved little lady, who made the trip, 4,OOO miles, without danger, although not without fear.

Soothing the, Cattle.

I made one trip, of about six weeks duration, behind pair of Texas ponies, in light road wagon, through five or six counties south ofs'the railroad my course extending to the borders of the Indian Territory; and I know whereof I speak when I call it garden district. I had for my driver a young man who had been what they call out West a " "cow-boy"-that is, a herder of the immense herds of cattle which pasture on the great plains; and I was greatly entertained by his accounts. of the pecu- liarjties of that occupation, and learned many things new to me. He told me, among other things, that the cowboys, while tending (mounted on their wiery mustang ponies) their Texan cattle, which are almost as wild as buffaloes, and as dangerous to, a. man on foot, are accustomed to sing great deal to, while away the lonely hours. At night they hobble their ponies, and, wrapped in a blanket, lie down to sleep on the prairie, little way from the cattle. Sometimes in the night thunder-clap or some strange sound will start up the cattle with wild alright, and they will snort and paw the earth, and in moment 8 wild rush and stampede would com- mence; but the cowboys would spring up, and while they loose and mount the1r ponies they commence singing their old songs. The cattle-hearing the well-k known and accustomed voices will soon quiet down, thinking all is right, and resume their rest again.

The RinrhaYot0n Reoo,,b7Scna, aava.

The Binghamton Republican says: " As an instance of the value of fence advertising, it may be mentioned that of fifteen firms whose advertisements appear on the fences aud barns on g cer- tain road leading out of this city, only three, are now in existence, and one of them has changed it's location. There is a ghastly sarcasm in an invitation to purchase goods at his establishment by a man who has lain in his grave for two years. ," Moral If you wish to die, ad- vertise on 8 fence. If you wish to live and get rich, advertise in respectable newspaper that has good circulation among people who buy your goods.
 Mention was made some time ago of phenominally small baby which was recently born in Ohio. It is still living at the age of four months, and lacks few ounces of weighing five pounds. At it's birth this babe beweighed just three fourths of a pound, and an ordinary finger ring which was placed on it's arm would go easily to the elbow. When two months old it weighed two pounds, when ten weeks old three pounds, and now at four months it weighs five pounds. It is as perfect as any child can be, and is notably healthy and good natured. It is bright, and has more ex- pression in, it's face than is usual for babes at its'age.s ~S ~-@ >@ -*

The Old Oaken Bucket.

It has been commonly said that the cold water poem, "The Old Oaken Bucket" was inspired by glass of brandy. A writer in the Boston Herald afirms the truth of the story, and tells it as 8 personal recollection. Samuel Woodworth, the author, was printer, and was employed in an office in Chambers street, New York. One day he dropped into Mallory's barroom, in Franklin street, to get some brandy and water. The liquor was drank, and Woodwork remarked that it was superior to anything he had ever tasted. "No," said comrade, "there was one thing that you and used to think far sur passed this in the way of drinking" What was that p asked Woodworth, dubiously. "Fresh spring water that we used to drink from the old oaken bucket that hung in the well, after our return from the hay field on sultry day in summer" The rhythm of the phrase, "The old oaken bucket that hung in the well," struck Woodworth at once, and the picture of the we'll at his boy hood home came to his mind. Within a few hours he had completed the poem.

Pac king Herrings.

Eastport, Me-, within the last four years, has become the center of several important brpnehssSof tho fishing inte1- est, pnd these are mainly controlled by leading New York houses, who cater to the wants and peculiar tastes of the Western and Southern trade. One house has now in active operation an ex- tensive esta blishment for the prepara- tion of the best boneless and scaled her ring.
 The fish are brought from the curing establishments near Eastport and Grand Menan, and are selected with great care, as the use of too much salt destroys the delicate flavor of the fish, and also it's lasting beauty and marketable value j; while too great heat renders them brit tie, coarse and comparatively valueless.
 The fish are placed m numbered bar rels, holding about 2,5O0 herrings each, and at suitable stands numbered to cor respond, sit girls whose delft fingers re- move all but the eatable portion of the fish. Large, sharp shears are used to cut off the heads bellies and tails, and with short-bladed knife the golden yellow skin is stripped off, and the half of the nicely smoked muscle detached. The backbone and it's adhering ribs are as quickly removed from the other half, and the prepared meat goes to the other operatives to be punched and tied.
 The prepared halves are rapidly punched in ring gauge, and secured by knotting with fancy twine, the object being to pack the fish so closely as to retain their freshness and flavor. The boxes are now lined with tin foil, and five of the punches just described placed in each, and carefully covered with the upper layer of tin foil, after which the covers are closed and sealed.

LnnguOr, Its Cause and Remedy.

The cause of languor, when it its not the immediate or indirect consequence of positive disease, is traceable to facilitating tempera- ture. Persons living in warm, moist climate are peculiarly subject to it. Diminished physical vigor and an indisposition to active exertion are its characteristics. Sometimes it is accompanied by undue relaxation of the bowels, and by dyspeptic or bilious symptoms. A reliable remedy is Hostetter's Stomach Bitter's @ strene thening and alterative medi- cine derived from the purest and most efficacious vegetable sources, with pure spirituous basis, pronounced by eminent physicians mild and wholesome stimulant. The Bitters, foremost of Americans tonics. is largely used.4iR the tropics; where the climate is very productive of debility, nalarial levers, and disorders of the bowels, liver and digestive organs,

Valuable Pearls.

A Cincinnati dispatch says that 0 young lad from that city, who was visit ing in Warren county recently, picked up pearl in the Little Miami River which he Las since sold for $35O. The bed of the Little Miami, for about five miles on each side of Waynesville, is
 very rich in pearls. Their presence was discovered about twenty years ago by 8 Jew, who was practical geologist, and who was led to suspect their existence from his observation of the geological characteristics of the valley. They are found in the musse1-she Ills whichA bound in the muddy waters of the Little. Miami. Men and boys wade up and down the stream feeling for the shells with their bare feet. When a bushel or so has been collected, they sit down on the bank and open the mussels. Not more than one shell in 15O contains pearl, and many of those found are too small to be of much value. But the work is as allur- ing as a lottery from the ever-present possibility that pearl worth hundreds of dollars will be found. The pearl found by the Cincinnati lad weighed six carats. The Everhart pearl, found near Waynesville, was sold for 2,800. The season lasts from June to October, and about fifty men and boys are constantly engaged in the work, each on his own account. Pearl. making is evidently no new habit of the Miami mussels, for many Indian mounds have been found to contain pearls, lying as, if fIiey had been arranged insstrings, but crumblipg on being touched. ~ % <

"Did you trade your brown mare for Gllderoy's gray horse even, MT. Pilli- coddy ?" the neighbours son asked him, the other evening, as they were looking at the new horse down in the stable yard. "N-no," replied the old man, listlessly, "no y and then, with an air of interest, as he looked up and saw a young man, in little straw hat, new summer suit, buttonhole bouquet, and cane, cross the yard and drop easily into rocking chair on the porch, with in easy reach of Miss Pillicoddy's sew ing chair" Mo-" said the old man, kind of pulling his hat on a little tighter, "no, I've got something to boot" And so he had, but the gray horse didn't have anything to do with it,-Burltngto, Hawkege,
