AN EXCEEDINGLY SAD AFFAIR.

The main points in this little romance
come from reliable correspondent at Ft
Bennett
Scene: The bank of the Missouri river
A big rise is passing and the turb;d waters
are filled with cakes Of floating ice. A lady
and gentleman stand at the river side
looking at the flood.
She TO He-'Say, does this ice come
from the Black Hills?"
He to She-"Oh no! 1t comes from the
Yellowstone.
She-"Dear me! is that soi I've heard
of it before. Was you eyer there!"
He-"No; l never was"
She-"Oh! how would like to have q
piece Of that stone."
He cast one last, lingering look at earth,
then plunged into the boiling flood and
was lost forever. As he slid under q big
piece of ice he was heard to remark that the
incident had robbed death of all its terrors.
She was not related TO him.

The times congratulates Secretary Sher-
man upon his success in converting 1910
bonds, and says the conversion Of per
cent bonds in 1881 is likelysto depend more

abroad. The reviving trade in the United
States will by them render it impossible to
obtain money there at per cent Now
that conversion has been carried as far az it
can be for two years, Sherman should direct
the attention of congress and the nation to
the policy of reducing the capital debt,
which has been for some time neglected.
