Perils Of Wall Street.

Says the New York correspondent OF
the Detroit Free Press:
There isn't better place in the Unit
ed States to stay away from than Wall
Street. l know five men who went
there to try their luck abou. year ago.
One was confidential clerk in q for
eign house that operated largely in the
street. He was in good position to
get "points," and the understanding
was that the others should operate up
on them, letting him in for q share Of
the profits in consideration of the infor-
nation he should furnish. Those Eve
formed little ring with q cash capital
of about $50,OOO. They hadn't the
slightest doubt about doubling it in six
months. They were to be on equal
ground with the biggest operators so
far as "pOints" were concerned, and no
such word as fail could be found in the
lexicon of their calculations. Where
are they now? Well, the confidential
clerk is in q lunatic asylum. One of
$1.75 a day. A second is clerk in an
insurance office st SO week. A third
made his way West toward the Black
Hills, and has not since been heard
from. The last of the party of
five still hangs around the street,
watching the indications, but un.
unable to put up even five dollars
in bucket shop. Their whole capital
melted away in three months, and they
were left without dollar. Here is an
other case. A retired business man of
my acquaintance considered himself too |
smart to be beaten at any game. He
lived in fine style, kept horses and q |
carriage, and was well known in socie-
ty. The Wall Street fever struck him
and he began to speculate. He made
out pretty well at the start, and that led
him into larger operations. In less
than six months from the day he put
up his first &c. 900 margin, he was an
insolvent debtor, with suits against him
BY the brokers, through whose hands
all his money had passed! He now

DEATH Of A YANk .Ja SOY.

The following obituary notice, which We
take from the Deadwood Times of the 10th
inst, has reference to a boy who came to
Yankton some years ago with Major ].
Shaw Gregory, and afterwards vent to the
Hills with John 6. Edgar:
One Of the largest and most imposing
funeral professions that has been seen in
Desdwood, was that Of Little Fred, the
hackman, that passed through our streets
Yesterday afternoon. Fred Howard-and
who is there that don't remember him, and
will miss his kind genial face and CHEEKY
voice-hss been on the road between here
and Central City nearly ever since the first
back was started, and at all times of day OF
night, and in all seasons of the year, has
been upon the road and has made hosts of
friends in all classes of society. Following
the hearse came his team and hack, led BY
two boys, with all Of the seats unoccupied,
the drivers whip lying upon the seat,
speaking in silence 4 volume Of. words that
appealed to every heart, aud brought mois-
ture to many an eye. About q week ago he
was taken down with an attack of typhoid
pneumonis, and during his short illness
received every care and attention that sym
pathizing friends could bestow. All ofthe
hackmsn, and many Of our best citizens and
families wsss in the procession Yesterday
~tsstifying BY their presence the esteem and
Hexardsthey felt for the boy.

The following figures reduced to Tons
give the following result in round numbers:
Tons freight carried

1t is probable that other boats carried a.
much more, which would swell the figures
10 an amount surprising even to our own
people, who are accustomed to the daily
arrival and departure of steamers. The
Coul-on line is in the best possible condi.
lion for next summers work. Early in the
spring The same nine swift and commodious
freight and passenger steamers will begin
work upon the Missouri and with their re-
cord for promp.ness will hold their full
share Of the carrying trade. The winter
will be consumed in making necessary re-
pairs and the entire feet will be as good as
new BY; the time the ice breaks.

STAGING IN THE UPPER COUNTRY.

The Unpleasant Experiences OF .he Line
of which MIR. Gamble Is Superintendent.
We were taking to-day with Simon p.
Gamble, superintendent Of the stsge line
which runs from Yankton to Sully, about
weather. Said he: 81 have been fourteen
years in Dakota and most OF the time in the
stage business out on the p%rairies, and /
never have experienced such . season as
this for continued severe cold aud continued
severe storms. There has been hardly a
day for the past two weeks without a stosm.''
He said that thus far the company had
managed to keep its stock rolling along,
though much OF the time it was impossible
for a driver 10 decide whether his stage was
in the road or far off on the trackless prai-
rie, taking its chances on fetching up some.
where. The only thing TO do,
when the storm thickened, was 10 go
ahead. Sometimes the stage would sudden.
ly plunge into the gulch Giled with snow,
which was deep enough 10 almost bury the
entire outfit. In such cases they could net
detach the horses from the vehicle for fear
Of losing them and the only course 10 pur-
sue was to shovel the snow from around and
before them aud push on. Frequently the
drivers were compelled to dismoun. and
kick holes through the snow with their feet
until they found the beaten track. Along
this lonely wilderness road there is nothing
to guide the traveller but the track worn
through the turf by years Of travel, When
this is filled with snow and the landscape
all about is buried beneath the same cover
ing, a sameness exists which would puzzle
the Oldest Jeh". This year the prairie has
been burned over from Yankton to Sully
and there is no high grass on either side of
the road to direct the course of stages going
that way. Under all these circumstances
staging in the upper country is not a pleas
ant recreation. In the face OF difficulties
almost ~in<urmountable Mr. Gamble has kept
the mails moving and the stock Of the stage
com pany at its respective ranches. He
does this by hard work and pure grit.

10 the Editors Of tie Press and Dakoteian :
The article on the Human trial from one
signing or hiding himself under the name
"santee," p%ubliehed in your weekly of the
18th inst, by its Misrepresentation Of facts
does me a grievous wrong. Please allow
me in your valuable columns, ever open to
fairness, to set forth the facts.
First-Before leaving the court room at
Santee the three Judges wrote their verdict,
on and after every specification.
Second-The Rev. Henry Swift, presi-
dent, and l resolved 10 Withhold the verdict
for a week, or such tine as would enable ia
to be assured that our decisions were in ac-
cordance with the canon law Of the church,
as we'll as according to our convictions from
the evidence addnced on the last and most
serious charge.
Third did 80 because l was not suf-
iciently learned in canon law to know for
certainty whether the canon Of the mother
church, that of England, still kol Is in this
church, requiring the testimony Of at least
two competent witnesses, TO establish the
guiltagainst a clergyman tried for a criminal
%ofense. The court and the legal gentlemen
Who were employed in the case were uncer-
tain as to that matter. The bishop l would
not compromise in the mater, lest it would
be said the court found its verdict az in
structed by him; whereas, l don't think he
knew Why we did not agree upon rendering
our verde. then and there until after we
had left.
