Newberne Nutshell.

Nswberne Nutshell.
A few days since we mentioned that the
Clara Merrick, schooner, bound for
Washington, had gone down near Halter
as, having struck on the Diamond Shoals
and sprung leak. and that five men had
been taken from the rigging of the unfor-:
tunate schooner by Capt. Joseph Gaskill,
of the schooner Mary Louisa. The Mary
Louisa was coming in from New York
and when few miles from the wreck the
men were discovered in the rigging, max
ing signals OF distress. The attention of
Captain Gaskill was called to the matter,
when he went forward and closely OBJ
served the signals made by the wrecked
men, after which he ordered boat to be
lowered and stated that he intended TO save
them If possible. The wind was blowing
very hard and the seas ran very high at the
time, and one of his men asked: '.Will
you try to reach those men under these

There is touch of pathos about doing
even the simplest thing ''for the last time" :"
1t is not alone kissing the dead that gives
you this strange pain. You feel it when
you have looked your last time upon some
scene you have lOved-when you stand in
some quiet city street where you know
that you will never stand again. The act
or playing his part for the last time, the
singer whose voice is cracked hopelessly,
and who after this once will never stand
before the sea of upturned faces disputing
the plautlits with fresher voices and fairer
forms, the minister who has preached his
last sermon--these all know the hidden bit
terness of the two words, ''never again.
We put away our boyish toys with an old
headache. We were too old to walk any
longer on our stilts-t0o tall to play mar
bles on the sidewalk. Yet there was =
pang when we thoughtw had played with
our merry things for the last time, and LIES
serious, grown-up work was waiting for
us. Now we do not want the lost toys
back. Life has larger and other play things
for us. May it not be that these, too, shall
seem in the light of some far-o6 day a. the
bOyish games seem to our manhood, and
we shall learn that death is bu: the open
ing of the gate into the land Of promise?-

THE YELLOwsrONE: COUxrnY.


W. S. Kenney, Esq, who recently Wis
tied the Yellowstone and Big Horn, is an
intelligent witness and prophet OF the pres.
ent and future development of that coun-
try. Mr.. Kenney halls from the garden
spot York; of Pennsylvania, and is there
fore capable judge. He found the bot
toms of the Yellowstone, up to Ft. Keogh,
rich and beautiful. At Keogh he was sur
priscd to see the best improved post in the
Department of Dakota. So far in the heart
Of the repnted Indian country of the West,
he feasted upon every comfort of civiliza-
tion. He saw Mansard roofs, brick side
walks, groves OF young trees and meadows
OF grass that woald fill the heart OF Lam
caster farmer with envy. He saw rose
bud drive, two miles long, on the banks
of the Yellowstone, and halfmile race
course, named after the hero, Lieut.. Clarke,
that would be beautiful in the suburbs of
the Queen City of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
At Miles City he saw business houses as
good as the best in Bismarck, and four
firms who did a total business of fifty thou
sand dollars per month. He saw a park
of the largest shade trees, and town To-
Gated in one OF the prettiest spots on earth.
1t was genuine surprise to find village
so substantial and looking so comfortable.
Up the river to the mouth of the Big Horn
he saw numerous ranches growing every
thing that an epicure could hope to realize
from the ground. The Big Horn bottom,
as he saw it from the Fort Custer bluff, is
one OF the pasture fields of the world.
Ranches are becoming frequent, and the
time is rapidly coming when the Yellow
stone valley will be full of people. The
climate and soil are both favorable. Mr..
kenney says the country is certainly a |
good one, and that its future is assured

Bilious Purisans.

We have in Philadelphia some people
who think they're pious when they're on
ly bilious, and who yearn for the enforce
ment OF blue laws. They need blue pills.
1t would add nothing to their personal
comfort if the children could not 60 to the
Zoo or the park on Sunday, or if the
chuTch-goer could not ride to church in Il
street-car, but it would create a satisfactory
state of misery for others. This is the
true nislnthropic spirit characterized by
Macaulay when he declared that the Puri-
tans were opposed to bear-baiting, not on
account of the pain inflicted upon the bear
but because OF the pleasure it afforded to
the spectators.

Another anectlote of the late Asa OTIS,
of New London, Conn.,, who left million
dollars for foreign missions, is as follows :
He was at one of the New London fish
markets on the wharfs clad in his custom
ary overal!s and as ever unassuming in his
department, when the captain OF a sillkiug
vessel rushed ashore and, seizing Mr.. O,.s
by the shoulder, shouted: ''Say. old man,
quick. DO you want job?'' MIR. Otis
looked at him little surprised and turned
away, whereupon the persistent captain
followed him up and again demanded !:
''Say, you, don't yon want a job to pump
out my vessel p AS Mr.. Otis remained
silent the exaspented captain exclaimed: !:
"Well, old chap, if you are too lazy to
work you win die in the poor-house, surer
than thunder" The man in the overalls
was then the owner Of more than three
million dollars.

A certain gentleman purchased pair of
pants few days ago, which, upon being
tried on at home, he found to be too long.
That night he remarked to his wife that he
wished her to take off about an inch from
each leg, which would make them the de-
sired length. Being fond of teasing her
husband. she told him that she shouldn't
do anything of the kind, and he retired
without having obtained a promise from
her that she would attend to the matter.
Soon after he had left for his room, how
ever, she, as matter of course, clipped
off the superfluous inch, as she had been
aSkel ta do. The family is composed of
nve, VINO were IN adjoining rooms, aS n eathdd
the dispute between man and wife, and af-
ter the latter had taken off the required
inch and retired, the old lady, desiring to
''keep peace in the family" and not know
ing what her daughter-in-law had done,
cautiously slipped into the room and cut
off another inch.
In this way did each of the five ladies,
unknown to each other, and all with the
praiseworthy object Of preventing any
misunderstanding between the couple, clip
IN inch from the legs OF the gentleman's
trousers.
The following morning, all unconscious
of what had taken place curing the night,
he rolled up his pants in piece of paper,
and took them to the tailor to be shorten
ell to the desired length. Upon a hasty
glance, the latter ventured the opinion
that they were already short, but the gen.
tleman insisted that they were fully an
inch too long. The tailor had no more to !
say, and our friend retired.
On the following Saturday he called for
the pants and took them home, and was !
extremely disgusted at finding that the
legs reached only trifle below the knee
He straigbtway accused the tailor, but his
wife heard him, and came to the rescue,
that she had taken off an inch
from each Of the legs, and her acknowl-
edgment was followed by that of each of
the other five ladies, when it was discov-
cred that altogether the legs had been
shortened to the extent of seven inches.

and follows it torty-five miles. The valley
is from mile to three miles wide. averag-
ing probably two miles. This stream is
put down on the old maps as the Big Mud
dy, being known as such among the Indi-
ans. There is but little timber along Cur
lew, but coal is abundant, and forty miles
west there is considerable timber. One of
the contractors expects to cut twelve thou
sand tons of hay in the Curlew valley this
summer. and if we are not greatly mistaken
this whole valley will be occupied by actual
settlers before autumn. Most lovely homes
will be made on the Sweet Briar, on the
of Knife River, and on the
Little Missouri. Indeed as rapid develop
ment may be expected on the line west of
Bismarck as followed the construction to
Red River west of Brainerd. Even bet
ter country than the beautiful Lake Park
region will be found and climate much
more favorable.-Bisn,ayck Tribune.

every section of Montana will be benefited
by the construction of railroad to the
important business points of the Terrific
ry. 1t did not believe that railroad
would add materially to the prosperity of
the people, certainly would not favor the
legislation suggested.
l trust you will approach this question
impartially and without passion or local
prejudice. Each member is representa-
tive of the Territory at large, and not a
local representative. Although each men,
ber is elected by portion of the people of
the Territory, each is a member of the
whole Territory. Being member of the
entire Territory, no mere local interest
should control your actions as legislators.
The members from Deer Lodge should be
no less vigilant in protecting the interests
