WONDERLAND" OF THE YELLOWSTONE,
Mr.. Kimball, the General Passenger Agent
of these roads, declaring that he will take
passengers in palace coaches and palace
stages from Omaha to the park in four days.
From the stories of Everts, Langford, Hay
den and others, had, as supposed, CLEANED
a fair idea of that remarkable region but
one OF its discoveries, Mr.. G. W. Clark, as
well as others here, assure me that their and
all other descriptions utterly fail to furnish
the slightest comparison with the reality.
By November next it is expected the rail-
way will he finished to a point only 125 miles
from Helena. This day will be hailed as
one of emancipation by all in the Territory,
and will give an impetus to the development
of the vast and varied resources of the coun-
try scarcely to be imagined. This is the New
West, and the last to which the aspiring and
enterprising can turn. At the sources of the
Missouri and Columbia, close by, are already
meeting the tides of humanity as they float
from the East and West The merchants,
mechanics, farmers and miners of the Attain
tic States, seeking 'the West," find its limit
amidst the crags and SHOWS of the Rockies"
while the restless and ambitious denizens of
the Pacific States, with no longer "West,
are forced to turn toward the rising sun, and
there meet their brothers from the Orient, and
together occupy the land. The settlement of
the trans Missouri is q romance of a wizard
age, and has exceeded all predictions, how
ever forid. The building of the Union Pacific
has made it all possible; but few years
hence, when the arteries of iron now planned
to be run north and west through Idaho and
into Oregon; through the wide and rich val
leys of Montana, through the great parks to
the silver hills at Leadville, in Colorado, and
through Utah south to Arizona-all of which
are under way-when all these shall have
been finished, then, indeed, will the Union
Pacific develop realities undreamt of by the
most sanguine of visionaries.
Icannot close this without referring to the
weather of the past three weeks, which has
been very pleasant. The thermometer has
ranged from 40 degrees above down to zero,
and one or two nights went lower. But the
air has been dry and bracing, the sun has
shone bright and warm, and at night the
stars have sparkled through the rarified at
mosphere with brilliancy and splendor un-
known at lower elevations
Among the Federal officials of the Terri
tory, find two Chicagoans-A. G. Botkin,
U. s. Marshal, and R. H. Mason, Surveyor
General. These gentlemen have won the es-

and appear highly contented with
their lot

The Courage Of the Prince of Wales.
from the London World

A~~AA>~SAA
The Prince of Wales and Dr. Lyon Play
fair were standing near caldron containing
lead which was boiling at white heat. ''Has
your Royal Highness any faith in science?"
said the doctor. ''Certainly," replied the
Prince. ''Will you, then, place your hand
in the boiling metal and ladle out portion
of it?" ''Do you tell me to do this?" asked
the Prince. 81 do, replied the doctor. The
Prince then ladled out some of the boiling
lead with his hand, without suffering any in
jury.
1t is well known scientific fact that the
human hand may be placed uninjured in lead
boiling at white heat, being protected from
any harm by the moisture of the skin. Should
the lead be at perceptibly lower tempera-
ture, the effect need not be described. Let
no one underrate the courage of the Prince
of Wales.

Immediately proceeded to rotton.cgg

pistol pointed at ons.of the men. At
this juncture be was disarmsd by Q citi-

Wheeler ran into Ford 4 Sanborn's drug
