MAR DEADwooD, 1876.


DEAR JENNY;
"We reached here this morning,
Tom Baker Ned Leonard aud L;
So you see that. in spite of your warning,
The end of our journey is nigh.
"The redskins-'tis scarce worth mention,
Don't worry about me pray
Have shown us no little attention

"Poor Ned's got ball in the shoulder
Another one Just grazed my side
But pshaw ere we're half day older
Wen be at the end of our ride.
"we've camped here for breakfast, Toms split
ting
Some kindling wood, of in the pines,
And astride dead cedar I'm sitting
To hastily pen you these lines.
"A courier from Deadwood-we met him
Just now with the mail for the States,
tAh, Jenny III never forget HIM
For this most obligingly wants.
"He says, too, the miners are earning
Ten dollars a day, every man.
Halloa here comes Tom-hes returning
And running as fast as he can.
cts nothing guess; he is only
At one of his practical -" Bang!
And sharp, through that solitude lonely,
The crack Of Sioux rifle shots rang.
And as the dire vollcy came blended
With echo form canon and pass,
The letter to Jenny was ended

She Sewed on His Buttons.

Old Blummer is tight-fisted.-
Several days ago he said to hi
wife: "Maria, I want you to lool
over that broadcloth vest of mine
and put new buttons on it, cause
Tine going to card party tonight.
"But, Ely" answered Mrs. b.,
81 haven't any buttons to match
that vest, and"
"Thunder !" broke in Blummer,
"the idea of woman keeping
house as long as you have, an pre-
tendin' to be out of buttons. BY
George l believe you will ask
me for money to buy 'em with
next"
That evening Blummer hurried
through his supper and began ar
raging himself for the card party.
Presently he called for his broad.
cloth vest, and Mrs. B. with mar
velous promptitude, handed it to
him. He took it, hastily unfolded
it, and then, as his eye took in its
complete appearance, he stood as
one transfixed. 1t was a six but
ton vest, and there were six but
tons on it, and the dazed optic of
Blummer observed that the first or
top one, was a shirt button, and the
next brass army overcoat button
with U. S. cleaning upon it, and
that number three was an oxy-
died silver affair, and that
number four was q horn button
evidently from the back of one of
The Puritan fathers coats, and then
came a suspender button, and then
rs the dazzled eyes of old Blum
ner reached the bottom button-a
poker chip found in Blummer's
'ocket) with two holes punched
through it-he snorted a snort that
made the chandelier jingle. There
s, after all, a fine sense of humor
bout Blummer, and he laughed
i'll he cried. And there won't be
ny button money grudged in that
ousehold hereafter.
